Momentum TrackerTo screen for momentum movers, one can filter for stocks that have made a noticeable move over a set period—this initial move defines the momentum or swing move. From this list of candidates, we can create a watchlist by selecting those showing a momentum pause, such as a pullback or consolidation, which later could set up for a continuation.
This Momentum Tracker Indicator serves as a study tool to visualize when stocks historically met these momentum conditions. It marks on the chart where a stock would have appeared on the screener, allowing us to review past momentum patterns and screener requirements.
Indicator Calculation
Bullish Momentum: Price is above the lowest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
Bearish Momentum: Price is below the highest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
The tool is customizable in terms of lookback period and percentage threshold to accommodate different trading styles and timeframes, allowing us to set criteria that align with specific hold times and momentum requirements.
Continuation
Strong Support and Resistance with EMAs @viniciushadek
### Strategy for Using Continuity Points with 20 and 9 Period Exponential Moving Averages, and Support and Resistance
This strategy involves using two exponential moving averages (EMA) - one with a 20-period and another with a 9-period - along with identifying support and resistance levels on the chart. Combining these tools can help determine trend continuation points and potential entry and exit points in market operations.
### 1. Setting Up the Exponential Moving Averages
- **20-Period EMA**: This moving average provides a medium-term trend view. It helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall market direction.
- **9-Period EMA**: This moving average is more sensitive and reacts more quickly to price changes, providing short-term signals.
### 2. Identifying Support and Resistance
- **Support**: Price levels where demand is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. These levels are identified based on previous lows.
- **Resistance**: Price levels where supply is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. These levels are identified based on previous highs.
### 3. Continuity Points
The strategy focuses on identifying trend continuation points using the interaction between the EMAs and the support and resistance levels.
### 4. Buy Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses above the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the entry if the price is near a support level or breaking through a resistance level.
### 5. Sell Signals
- When the 9-period EMA crosses below the 20-period EMA.
- Confirm the exit if the price is near a resistance level or breaking through a support level.
### 6. Risk Management
- Use appropriate stops below identified supports for buy operations.
- Use appropriate stops above identified resistances for sell operations.
### 7. Validating the Trend
- Check if the trend is validated by other technical indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Volume.
### Conclusion
This strategy uses the combination of exponential moving averages and support and resistance levels to identify continuity points in the market trend. It is crucial to confirm the signals with other technical analysis tools and maintain proper risk management to maximize results and minimize losses.
Implementing this approach can provide a clearer view of market movements and help make more informed trading decisions.
Prior Day LevelsA simple script that plots the previous day's high, midway, and low points. You can also set alerts with this script, allowing you the ability to not have to stare at the charts all day.
Interactive trendline - Proximity Doji & 3LSThis script was developed with Blockhead305 (seriously talented) and uses 1) the Three Line Strike from The Moving Average as well as 2) an original doji script written for me and 3) the Interactive Trendline as developed by Blockhead305. The basic premise is that should a doji or Three Line Strike occur within a customizable ATR distance from your trendline, an on-chart notification will appear or you could set an alarm to warn you if this has happened.
How to set this up:
Step 1 - Find a a trend
Step 2 - Identify the candles that touches the trendline
Step 3 - Click on the indicator
Step 4 - Set the X1 and Y1 coordinates for the start of the trend
Step 5 - Set the X2 and Y2 coordinates for the last relevant candle of the trend
Step 6 - Write the number in the yellow box down (in this case 880)
Step 7 - Open the settings of the indicator
Enter the number from the yellow box into the box titled "Run" - Press "OK"
Step 8 - Chart should/could now show Buy/Sell Signals for the Dojis and/or Bullish or Bearish Three Line Strikes
Notes
1. If your trendline is bearish (X1/Y1 is higher than X2/Y2) only bearish signals will appear and vice versa
2. You can change the ATR multiples from trendline in the settings - I prefer 2 (which is also the default)
3. You can toggle Big Engulfing and/or Three Line Strike on or off (exact functionality as per The Moving Average functionality)
4. You can construct the type of doji you would like to see at the bottom of the settings screen - I prefer the following settings:
Dominant Wick Multiple - 2
Recessive Wick Multiple - 2
Body Multiple - 5
5. I place my SL above last high (shorts) or last low (longs) but could also use the trendline for this
6. I use TP with RRR off 1:2 but much more is obviously possible.
7. ONLY ONE INTERACTIVE TRENDLINE CAN BE USED ON THE SAME CHART
8. THE NUMBER IN THE YELLOW BOX IS RELEVANT TO THE TIMEFRAME THAT THE TRENDLINE WAS CREATED ON. IF YOU CHANGE
TIMEFRAMES IT WILL NOT WORK
Happy to receive constructive criticism and/or suggestions for improvements on the settings.
Dual Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement — Long and Short Duration
Title : "The Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script: An Advanced Tool for Comprehensive Market Analysis"
As the author of the "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script", I am delighted to introduce you to this cutting-edge tool for technical analysis. Unlike conventional Fibonacci scripts, this advanced model incorporates multiple unique features and adjustments that make it a powerful asset for any market analyst. Whether you're dealing with forex, commodities, equities or any other market, this script is versatile enough to enhance your trading strategy.
Uniqueness & Differentiation:
The "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Script" stands out by offering two distinct lookback periods. This feature is what separates it from other scripts available in the market. The first lookback period is longer, focusing on capturing broader market trends. The second lookback period is shorter, allowing for a more granular analysis of near-term market fluctuations. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive view of the market, allowing you to see both the forest and the trees at the same time.
Fibonacci Levels:
While offering the standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0), the script also gives you the ability to plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels. These additional levels offer an extra layer of depth to your analysis, and can prove crucial in high-volatility markets where they often serve as significant support and resistance points.
Customizable Line Shifts and Extends:
This script provides options for customization of the shift and extension of the plotted lines. This means you can adjust the start and end points of the Fibonacci lines according to your personal trading style and strategy. This level of personalization is not typically available in other scripts, and it allows for a more tailored visual representation.
Flexible Trading Positioning:
Depending on whether the closing price is above or below the midpoint of the pivot high and pivot low, the Fibonacci retracement levels are adjusted accordingly. This ensures the script remains relevant and useful regardless of market conditions.
Clean Visualization:
To prevent clutter and maintain focus on the most relevant price action, the script removes old Fibonacci lines and plots new ones once a new pivot high or low is identified. This clean visualization helps keep your analysis focused and sharp.
How to Use the Script:
To get started, simply adjust the lookback periods according to your trading strategy. If you're a long-term investor or prefer swing trading, a longer lookback period might be appropriate. Conversely, if you're a day trader, a shorter lookback period might be more beneficial.
The "Shift" and "Extend" inputs allow you to control the positioning of the Fibonacci lines on your chart. Positive values shift the lines to the right, while negative values shift them to the left.
You also have the choice to plot the additional Fibonacci levels (0.114 and 0.886) via the "Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels?" input. Similarly, the "Plot second set of levels?" input lets you decide whether to display the second set of Fibonacci levels derived from the shorter lookback period.
Like any technical analysis tool, this script is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators and methods of analysis. It is designed to work well in trending markets, where Fibonacci retracements can often indicate potential reversal levels. However, it's always recommended to use a holistic approach to market analysis to maximize the likelihood of successful trades.
Note: the two lines drawn on the chart are there to help the user identify the levels from which the two respective Fib sequences are calculated.

Input Explanations:
Long Period Pivot High/Low Lookback and Short Period Pivot High/Low Lookback : These settings determine the length of the lookback periods for the long-term and short-term pivot points, respectively. A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot points are then used to calculate the Fibonacci levels. A longer lookback period will identify pivot points over a broader time frame, capturing major market trends, while a shorter lookback period will identify pivot points over a narrower time frame, capturing more immediate market movements.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Shift and Short Period Fibonacci Level Shift : These inputs control the shift of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the right, increase the value. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the left, decrease the value. This allows you to adjust the Fibonacci levels to better align with your analysis.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Extend and Short Period Fibonacci Level Extend : These inputs control the extension of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend further to the right, increase the value. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend less to the right, decrease the value. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the length of the Fibonacci levels according to your personal trading preferences and strategy.
Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels? : This setting gives you the ability to plot the additional 0.114 and 0.886 Fibonacci levels. These levels provide extra depth to your analysis, particularly in highly volatile markets where they can act as significant support and resistance levels.
Plot second set of levels? : This input allows you to decide whether to plot the second set of Fibonacci levels based on the short lookback period. Displaying this second set of levels can provide a more granular view of market movements and potential reversal points, enhancing your overall analysis.
+ Average Candle Bodies RangeACBR, or, Average Candle Bodies Range is a volatility and momentum indicator designed to indicate periods of increasing volatility and/or momentum. The genesis of the idea formed from my pondering what a trend trader is really looking for in terms of a volatility indicator. Most indicators I've come across haven't, in my opinion, done a satisfactory job of highlighting this. I kept thinking about the ATR (I use it for stops and targets) but I realized I didn't care about highs or lows in regards to a candle's volatility or momentum, nor do I care about their relation to a previous close. What really matters to me is candle body expansion. That is all. So, I created this.
ACBR is extremely simple at its heart. I made it more complicated of course, because why would I want anything for myself to be simple? Originally it was envisaged to be a simple volatility indicator highlighting areas of increasing and decreasing volatility. Then I decided some folks might want an indicator that could show this in a directional manner, i.e., an oscillator, so I spent some more hours tackling that
To start, the original version of the indicator simply subtracts opening price from closing price if the candle closes above the open, and subtracts the close from the open if the candle closes below the open. This way we get a positive number that simply measures candle expansion. We then apply a moving average to these values in order to smooth them (if you want). To get an oscillator we always subtract the close from the open, thus when a candle closes below its open we get a negative number.
I've naturally added an optional signal line as a helpful way of gauging volatility because obviously the values themselves may not tell you much. But I've also added something that I call a baseline. You can use this in a few ways, but first let me explain the two options for how the baseline can be calculated. And what do I mean by 'baseline?' I think of it as an area of the indicator where if the ACBR is below you will not want to enter into any trades, and if the ACBR is above then you are free to enter trades based on your system (or you might want to enter in areas of low volatility if your system calls for that). Waddah Attar Explosion is another indicator that implements something similar. The baseline is calculated in two different ways: one of which is making a Donchian Channel of the ACBR, and then using the basis as the baseline, while the other is applying an RMA to the cb_dif, which is the base unit that makes up the ACBR. Now, the basis of a Donchian Channel typically is the average of the highs and the lows. If we did that here we would have a baseline much too high (but maybe not...), however, I've made the divisor user adjustable. In this way you can adjust the height (or I guess you might say 'width' if it's an oscillator) however you like, thus making the indicator more or less sensitive. In the case of using the ACBR as the baseline we apply a multiplier to the values in order to adjust the height. Apologies if I'm being overly verbose. If you want to skip all of this I have tooltips in the settings for all of the inputs that I think need an explanation.
When using the indicator as an oscillator there are baselines above and below the zero line. One funny thing: if using the ACBR as calculation type for the baselines in oscillator mode, the baselines themselves will oscillate around the zero line. There is no way to fix this due to the calculation. That isn't necessarily bad (based on my eyeball test), but I probably wouldn't use it in such a way. But experiment! They could actually be a very fine entry or confirmation indicator. And while I'm on the topic of confirmation indicators, using this indicator as an oscillator naturally makes it a confirmation indicator. It just happens to have a volatility measurement baked into it. It may also be used as an exit and continuation indicator. And speaking of these things, there are optional shapes for indicating when you might want to exit or take a continuation trade. I've added alerts for these things too.
Lastly, oscillator mode is good for identifying divergences.
Above we have the indicator set to directional, or oscillator, mode. Baselines are Donchian Channels. I changed the default EMA length from 4 to 24 in this case, otherwise all the settings are default, as in the main image for the indicator (which is clearly set to non-directional). The indicator is set to requiring an advancing signal line for background and bar colors. Background color is not on by default. Candle colors, as you can see are aqua when above the top baseline (and only when the signal line is advancing, as per the settings), magenta when below the bottom baseline, and grey for anything else. The red and blue X's are exit signals. There are two types: one, when the signal line weakens and, two, when the ACBR crosses above or below the signal line. There are also arrows. These are continuation signals (ACBR crossing signal line).
Same image as above, but the baselines are set to ACBR rather than Donchian Channels.
Again, the same image, but with everything but the ACBR Baseline turned off. You can see how this might make for an excellent confirmation indicator, but for the areas of chap. Maybe run a second instance of the indicator on your chart as a volatility indicator, as you would not be using it in that way in this instance.
Here I have bar coloring turned off except for signal line crosses NOT requiring the signal line to be advancing. Background coloring is also turned on. You can see that these all line up with continuation signals, or exits for purple candles.
Same image as above but requiring the signal line to be advancing. You can see that continuation signals are not contingent upon the signal line to be advancing. I had it setup that way at first, but of course it still gave false signals, so I thought more signals (not that there are many) is better than fewer. To be sure, just because the indicator shows a continuation signal does not mean you should always take it.
Support Resistance with Breaks and RetestsThe Break and Retest indicator strives to provide a visual aid for spotting areas of continuation and pullbacks. Support and resistance levels are drawn out automatically and have sequential conditions in place to determine a breakout following an eventual retest. Additionally, there are methods in place that try and detect liquidation events and still output a retest.
Although there are options to adjust repaint settings, "potential labels" are structured in a way to detect live ongoing retest events and therefore will be the only thing in the script that will be forced to repaint.
🔳 Settings
Lookback Range: Lookback period to trigger a new support/resistance level when pivot conditions are met.
Bars Since Breakout: How many bars since breakout in order to detect a retest.
Retest Detection Limiter: Whenever a potential retest is detected, the indicator knows that a retest is about to happen. In that given situation, this input grants the ability to raise the limit on how many bars are allowed to be actively checked while a potential retest event is active. For example, if you see the potential retest label, how many bars do you want that potential retest label to be active for to eventually confirm a retest?
🔳 Repaint Options
By default, the break and retest system uses the current close value to determine a condition. (Repaints by default)
On: Allows repainting
Off - Bar Confirmation: Prevents repainting and generates alerts when the bar closes. (1 candle later)
Off - High & Low: Prevents repainting, but in return utilizes both the high and low values instead of the close which may yield a higher outcome and inaccurate results.
🔳 How it works
In the background, calculations aren't searching for the perfect retest within the zone but instead focuses its attention towards price fluctuation around the zones. This allows the indicator to yield more results than it would otherwise.
The chart below provides an example of how potential retests are established. These are updated constantly until a retest is confirmed, and deleted if not. If a potential retest is active and the next candle drops below the value when the potential retest was detected, a retest is placed..
🔳 Alerts
Neo's %KIn my opinion the %K is the only part of the stochastic that you actually need. It's the fast RSI, so it responds much better to large price movements and reveals divergence a lot sooner than %D. The %D has no real confluence with the rest of my strategy so, I only use %K.
+ WaveTrend Oscillator OverlayAn overlay version of pertinent signals from my version of LazyBear's Wavetrend Oscillator.
Shows momentum of long period WTO as either background colors or symbols.
Shows continuation and reversal trade signals.
If Secondary WTO is above the center line (momentum is long), then symbols print across the top of the chart when the primary (faster) WTO comes into "oversold," a number associated with a horizontal line on the off-chart indicator. This number is selectable via a drop-down menu. Same thing for bearish momentum.
Conversely, reversal signals are printed along the bottom when conditions are met. Ex: if the Secondary WTO is showing momentum is bullish, then symbols will print along the bottom when the primary WTO is at "overbought" (or whatever number you deem overbought--again, via a similar drop-down menu).
Also, symbols are printed above and below candles for when the moving average of the primary WTO is crossed.
You could use these for taking profits, exiting a trade, or entering a trade.
Includes a moving average that is an average of the 200 EMA, SMA and Kijun.
Alerts.
Enjoy.
//p.s. I recommend using this in conjunction with my "+ Wavetrend Oscillator" at least starting out. Helps to have a visual
//reference when picking reversal and continuation numbers.

CCI - SWIFF KNIFECCI indicator swiff knife.
A lot of different usages of CCI ae possible with this script :
- 2 CCI lines crossovers.
- CCI - 0 Line crossovers
- CCI + Moving Average crossovers (many types of MA are available)
Filters can be added.
CCI can be used as a confirmation indicator, a continuation indicator, an exit indicator, a chopiness indicator .... It can even make coffee, who knows.
Price Continuation (The Strat)Shows the historic bar type, whether it is up, down, up and inside, down and inside, up and outside, or down and outside. Will only display historic bar type based on the selected time timeframe. (Ex. if you are looking at the weekly time frame, you will only see the bar type for Year, Quarter, Month, and Week. It will not display the Day or Hour bar type.)
