ATT Model with Buy/Sell SignalsIndicator Summary
This indicator is based on the ATT (Arithmetic Time Theory) model, using specific turning points derived from the ATT sequence (3, 11, 17, 29, 41, 47, 53, 59) to identify potential market reversals. It also integrates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) to confirm overbought and oversold conditions, triggering buy and sell signals when conditions align with the ATT sequence and RSI level.
Turning Points: Detected based on the ATT sequence applied to bar count. This suggests high-probability areas where the market could turn.
RSI Filter: Adds strength to the signals by ensuring buy signals occur when RSI is oversold (<30) and sell signals when RSI is overbought (>70).
Max Signals Per Session: Limits signals to two per session to reduce over-trading.
Entry Criteria
Buy Signal: Enter a buy trade if:
The indicator displays a green "BUY" marker.
RSI is below the oversold level (default <30), suggesting a potential upward reversal.
Sell Signal: Enter a sell trade if:
The indicator displays a red "SELL" marker.
RSI is above the overbought level (default >70), indicating a potential downward reversal.
Exit Criteria
Take Profit (TP):
Define TP as a fixed percentage or point value based on the asset's volatility. For example, set TP at 1.5-2x the risk, or a predefined point target (like 50-100 points).
Alternatively, exit the position when price approaches a key support/resistance level or the next significant swing high/low.
Stop Loss (SL):
Place the SL below the recent low (for buys) or above the recent high (for sells).
Set a fixed SL in points or percentage based on the asset’s average movement range, like an ATR-based stop, or limit it to a specific risk amount per trade (1-2% of account).
Trailing into Profit
Use a trailing strategy to lock in profits and let winning trades run further. Two main options:
ATR Trailing Stop:
Set the trailing stop based on the ATR (Average True Range), adjusting every time a new candle closes. This can help in volatile markets by keeping the stop at a consistent distance based on recent price movement.
Break-Even and Partial Profits:
When the price moves in your favor by a set amount (e.g., 1:1 risk/reward), move SL to the entry (break-even).
Take partial profit at intermediate levels (e.g., 50% at 1:1 RR) and trail the remainder.
Risk Management for Prop Firm Evaluation
Prop firms often have strict rules on daily loss limits, max drawdowns, and minimum profit targets. Here’s how to align your strategy with these:
Limit Risk per Trade:
Keep risk per trade to a conservative level (e.g., 1% or lower of your account balance). This allows for more room in case of a drawdown and aligns with most prop firm requirements.
Daily Loss Limits:
Set a daily stop-loss that ensures you don’t exceed the firm’s rules. For example, if the daily limit is 5%, stop trading once you reach a 3-4% drawdown.
Avoid Over-Trading:
Stick to the max signals per session rule (one or two trades). Taking only high-probability setups reduces emotional and reactive trades, preserving capital.
Stick to a Profit Target:
Aim to meet the evaluation’s profit goal efficiently but avoid risky or oversized trades to reach it faster.
Avoid Major Economic Events:
News events can disrupt technical setups. Avoid trading around significant releases (like FOMC or NFP) to reduce the chance of sudden losses due to high volatility.
Summary
Using this strategy with discipline, a structured entry/exit approach, and tight risk management can maximize your chances of passing a prop firm evaluation. The ATT model’s turning points, combined with the RSI, provide an edge by highlighting reversal zones, while limiting trades to 1-2 per session helps maintain controlled risk.

Multi-Trend SynchronizerMulti-Trend Synchronizer
The Multi-Trend Synchronizer indicator provides a multi-timeframe trend analysis using SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) across three user-defined timeframes: short, medium, and long-term. By synchronizing trends from these timeframes, this tool helps traders identify stronger alignment signals for potential trend continuation or reversal, enhancing decision-making in various market conditions.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis: Users can set three different timeframes, allowing flexibility in tracking trends over short (e.g., 15 minutes), medium (e.g., 1 hour), and long-term (e.g., 4 hours) intervals.
Clear Trend Visualization: The indicator plots SMMA lines on the main chart, color-coded by timeframe for intuitive reading. It also displays an at-a-glance trend alignment table, showing the current trend direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) for each timeframe.
Buy and Sell Signals: Alignment across all timeframes generates Buy and Sell signals, visualized on the chart with distinct markers to aid entry/exit timing.
Usage Notes
This indicator is best used for trend-following strategies. The SMMA-based design provides smoother trend transitions, reducing noise compared to standard moving averages. However, as with all indicators, it is not foolproof and should be combined with other analyses for robust decision-making.
How It Works
The indicator calculates SMMA values for each selected timeframe and tracks trend changes based on SMMA's direction. When all timeframes show a unified direction (either bullish or bearish), the indicator generates a Buy or Sell signal. A table displays real-time trend direction, with color codes to assist traders in quickly assessing the market's overall direction.
Indicator Settings
Timeframes: Customize each SMMA timeframe to align with personal trading strategies or market conditions.
SMMA Length: Adjust the length of the SMMA to control sensitivity. Lower values may increase signal frequency, while higher values provide smoother, more stable trend indicators.
Disclaimer: As with any trend-following tool, this indicator is most effective when used in trending markets and may be less reliable in sideways conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and users should be cautious of market volatility.
Use it for educational purposes!
No-Gap-CandlesCandle indicator that makes the chart more readable by removing overnight gaps by using the closing price of the previous day as the opening price of the current day.
First 5 Minutes Open/Close LinesThis very simple indicator paints lines at the high and low of the first 5m candle of the session. It is primarily intended for big cap NYSE traded stocks with high volume. I wrote this indicator to save me the trouble of manually drawing the lines each day.
The lines drawn at the 5m high/low will remain constant regardless of which timeframe you switch to. In the example screenshot, we are looking at the 1m timeframe. This helps us switch effortlessly between different timeframes to see if a given price movement meets our entry criteria.
In addition to drawing lines at the first 5m high/low, it will optionally paint two zones, one each around the high and low. The boundaries of this zone are configurable and expressed as a percentage of the total movement of the first 5m bar. By default, it is set to 25%.
This indicator is based on the concept that the first 5m bar always has massive volume which helps us infer that price may react around the extremes of that movement. The basic strategy works something like this:
- You identify the high timeframe (HTF) trend direction of the stock
- You wait for the first 5m candle of the session to close
- You wait for price to puncture through the outer boundary of the zone marked by the indicator.
- You enter when price retraces to the high, or low, which marks the midpoint of the punctured zone.
- Only enter long on stocks in a HTF uptrend, and short on stocks in an HTF downtrend.
- Use market structure to identify stop loss and take profit targets
Note: Use at your own risk. This indicator and the strategy described herein are not in any way financial advice, nor does the author of this script make any claims about the effectiveness of this strategy, which may depend highly on the discretion and skill of the trader executing it, among many other factors outside of the author's control.

You should expect to lose money if using this indicator.
Enhanced Pressure MTF ScreenerEnhanced Pressure Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Screener Indicator
Overview
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is an add-on that extends the capabilities of the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis . It provides a clear and consolidated view of buy/sell pressure across multiple timeframes. This indicator allows traders to determine when different timeframes are synchronized in the same trend direction, which is particularly useful for making high-confidence trading decisions.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator screens various predefined timeframes (from 1 week down to 10 minutes).
It offers a table view that shows buy or sell ratings for each timeframe, making it easy to see which timeframes are aligned.
Traders can choose which timeframes to include based on their trading strategies (e.g., higher timeframes for position trading, lower timeframes for scalping).
2.Pressure and Trend Calculation
Uses Buy and Sell Pressure calculations from the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure indicator to determine whether buying or selling is dominant in each timeframe.
By analyzing pressures on multiple timeframes, the indicator gives a comprehensive perspective of the current market sentiment.
The indicator calculates whether a move is strong based on user-defined thresholds, which are displayed in the form of additional signals.
3.Heikin Ashi Option
The Heikin Ashi candle type can be toggled on or off. Using Heikin Ashi helps smooth out market noise and provides a clearer indication of trend direction.
This is particularly helpful for traders who want to filter out market noise and focus on the primary trend.
4.Table Customization
Table Positioning: The table showing timeframe data can be positioned at different locations on the chart—top, middle, or bottom.
Text and Alignment: The alignment and text size of the table can be customized for better visual clarity.
Color Settings: Users can choose specific colors to indicate buying and selling pressure across timeframes, making it easy to interpret.
5.Strong Movement Indicators
The screener provides an additional visual cue (🔥) for timeframes where the movement is deemed strong, based on a user-defined threshold.
This helps highlight timeframes where significant buying or selling pressure is present, which could signal potential trading opportunities.
How the Screener Works
1.Pressure Calculation
For each selected timeframe, the indicator retrieves the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values.
It calculates buy pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is higher than the opening) and sell pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening).
The screener computes the pressure ratio, which represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, to determine which side is dominant.
2.Trend Rating and Signal Generation
Based on the calculated pressure, the screener determines a trend rating for each timeframe: "Buy," "Sell," or "Neutral." (▲ ,▼ or •)
Additionally, it generates a signal (▲ or ▼) to indicate the current trend direction and whether the move is strong (based on the user-defined threshold).
If the movement is strong, a fire icon (🔥) is added to indicate that there is significant pressure on that timeframe, signaling a higher confidence in the trend.
3.Customizable Strong Move Thresholds
Strong Move Threshold: The screener uses this value to decide whether a trend is significantly strong. A higher value makes it more selective in determining strong moves.
Strong Movement Threshold: Helps determine when an additional strong signal should be displayed, offering further insight into the strength of market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is highly customizable to fit the needs of individual traders:
General Settings:
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle this setting to use Heikin Ashi for a smoother trend representation.
Strong Move Threshold: Defines how strong a move should be to be considered significant.
Strong Movement Threshold: Specifies the level of pressure required to highlight a move with the fire icon.
Table Settings:
Position: Choose the vertical position of the screener table (top, middle, or bottom of the chart).
Alignment: Align the table (left, center, or right) to best suit your chart layout.
Text Size: Adjust the text size in the table for better readability.
Table Color Settings:
Users can set different colors to represent buying and selling signals for better visual clarity, particularly when scanning multiple timeframes.
Timeframe Settings:
The screener provides options to include up to ten different timeframes. Traders can select and customize each timeframe to match their strategy.
Examples of available timeframes include 1 Week, 1 Day, 12 Hours, down to 10 Minutes, allowing for both broad and detailed analysis.
Practical Use Case
Identifying Trend Alignment Across Timeframes:
Imagine you are about to take a long trade but want to make sure that the trend direction is aligned across multiple timeframes.
The screener displays "Buy" ratings across the 4H, 1H, 30M, and 10M timeframes, while higher timeframes (like 1W and 1D) also show "Buy" with strong signals (🔥). This indicates that buying pressure is strong across the board, adding confidence to your trade.
Spotting Reversal Opportunities:
If a downtrend is evident across most timeframes but suddenly a higher timeframe, such as 12H, changes to "Buy" while showing a strong move (🔥), this could indicate a potential reversal.
The screener allows you to spot these discrepancies and consider taking early action.
Benefits for Traders
1.Synchronization Across Timeframes:
One of the main strengths of this screener is its ability to show synchronized buy/sell signals across different timeframes. This makes it easy to confirm the strength and consistency of a trend.
For example, if you see that all the selected timeframes display "Buy," this implies that both short-term and long-term traders are favoring the upside, giving additional confidence to go long.
2.Quick and Visual Trend Overview:
The table offers an at-a-glance summary, reducing the time required to manually inspect each timeframe.
This makes it particularly useful for traders who want to make quick decisions, such as day traders or scalpers.
3.Strong Move Indicator:
The use of fire icons (🔥) provides an easy way to identify significant movements. This is particularly helpful for traders looking for breakouts or strong market conditions that could lead to high probability trades.
To put it short or to summarize
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is a powerful add-on for traders looking to understand how buy and sell pressure aligns across multiple timeframes. It offers:
A clear summary of buying or selling pressure across different timeframes.
Heikin Ashi smoothing, providing an option to reduce market noise.
Strong movement signals to highlight significant trading opportunities.
Customizable settings to fit any trading strategy or style.
The screener and the main indicator are best used together, as the screener provides the multi-timeframe overview, while the main indicator provides an in-depth look at each individual bar and trend.

Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar analysisEnhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders identify buy and sell pressure, volume changes, and overall trend direction in the market. It combines multiple concepts like price action, volume, and trend analysis, candlestick anaysis to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. The visual elements are intuitive, making it suitable for traders at different levels. This indicator works together with Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which is a screener based of this indicator to make it easier to see Bullish/Bearish pressures and trend across multiple timeframes.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Buy/Sell Pressure Identification
Buy Pressure: Calculated based on price movement where the close price is higher than the opening price.
Sell Pressure: Calculated when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening price.These pressures help you understand whether buyers or sellers are more dominant for each bar.
2.Volume Analysis
Normalized Volume: Volume data is normalized, making it easier to compare volume levels over different periods.
Volume Histogram: The volume is also presented as a histogram for easy visualization, showing whether the current volume is higher or lower compared to the average.
3.Simplified Coloring Option
You can choose to simplify the coloring of bars to reflect the dominant pressure: green for bullish pressure and red for bearish pressure. This makes it visually easier to identify who is in control. When simplified coloring is disabled, the bars' colors will represent the combined effect of buy and sell pressure.
4.Heikin-Ashi Candles for Pressure Calculation
The indicator includes an option to use Heikin-Ashi candles instead of traditional candles to calculate buy and sell pressure. Heikin-Ashi candles are known for smoothing out price action and providing a clearer trend representation.
5.Trend Background Coloring
This feature uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA vs. Long-Term EMA: When the short-term EMA is above the long-term EMA, the trend is considered bullish, and vice versa.
The background color changes based on the identified trend: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend. This feature helps visualize the overall market direction at a glance.
6.Signals for Key Price Actions
The indicator plots various symbols to signal important price movements:
Bullish Close (▲): Indicates a strong upward movement where the close price crosses above the open.
Bearish Close (▼): Indicates a downward movement where the close price falls below the open.
Higher High (•): Highlights new highs compared to previous bars, useful for confirming an uptrend.
Lower Low (•): Highlights lower lows compared to previous bars, which can indicate a downtrend or bearish pressure.
Calculations Explained
1.Buy and Sell Pressure Calculation
The buy pressure is determined by the price range (high - low) if the closing price is above the opening price, indicating an increase in value.
The sell pressure is similarly calculated when the closing price is equal to or below the opening price.
The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) for normalization. Normalizing helps you compare pressure across different periods, regardless of market volatility.
2.Volume Normalization
Volume Normalization: To make volume comparable across different periods, the indicator normalizes it using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined length.
Volume Histogram: The histogram provides a clear representation of volume changes compared to the average, making it easier to spot unusual activity that may indicate market shifts.
3.Combined Pressure Calculation
The indicator calculates a combined pressure value by subtracting sell pressure from buy pressure.
When combined pressure is positive, buying is dominant, and when negative, selling is dominant. This helps in visually understanding the ongoing momentum.
4.Trend Calculation
The indicator uses two EMAs to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA (default 14-period) to capture recent price movements.
Long-Term EMA (default 50-period) to provide a broader trend perspective.
By comparing these EMAs on a higher timeframe, the indicator can identify whether the trend is up or down, making it easier for traders to align their trades with the larger market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The indicator provides several options for customization, allowing you to adjust it to your preferences:
SMA Length: Determines the lookback period for moving averages and volume normalization. A longer length provides more smoothing, whereas a shorter length makes the indicator more responsive.
Buy/Sell/Volume Colors: Customize the colors used to represent buying, selling, and volume to suit your preferences.
Heikin Ashi Option: Toggle between using Heikin Ashi or traditional OHLC (Open-High-Low-Close) candles for pressure calculations.
Trend Timeframe and EMA Periods: You can choose different timeframes and EMA periods for trend analysis to suit your trading strategy.
How to Use This Indicator
Identifying Market Momentum: Use the buy/sell pressure columns to see which side (buyers or sellers) is in control. Positive pressure combined with green color indicates strong buying, while red indicates selling.
Volume Confirmation: Check the volume area plot and histogram. High volume coupled with strong pressure is a sign of conviction, meaning the current move has backing from market participants.
Trend Identification: The trend background color helps identify the overall trend direction. Trade in the direction of the trend (e.g., take long positions during a green background).
Signal Indicators: The plotted symbols like "Bullish Close" and "Bearish Close" provide visual signals of key price actions, useful for timing entry or exit points.
Practical use Example
Scenario: The market is consolidating, and you see alternating green and red bars.
Action: Wait for a consistent sequence of green bars (buy pressure) along with a green background (uptrend) to consider going long, although you can go long without having a green background, the background adds confirmation layer.
Scenario: The market has several bearish closes (red ▼ symbols) accompanied by increasing volume.
Action: This could indicate strong selling pressure. If the background also turns red, it might be a good time to exit long positions or consider shorting.
Higher timeframe pressure and volume: Another way to use the indicator is to check buy/sell volume and pressure of the higher timeframe say weekly or daily or any timeframe you consider higher, once you’ve identified or feel confident in which direction the bar is going along with the full picture of trend, you can go to the lower timeframe and wait for it to sync with the higher timeframe to consider a long or a short. It is also easier to see when markets sync up by also applying the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which works in companion to this indicator.
Visual Cues and Interpretation
Combined Pressure Plot: The green and red column plot at the bottom of the chart represents the dominance between buying and selling. Tall green bars signify strong buying, while tall red bars indicate selling dominance.
Trend Background: Helps visualize the overall direction without manually drawing trend lines. When the background turns green, it generally indicates that the shorter-term moving average has crossed above the longer-term average—a sign of a bullish trend.
To Summarize shortly
The Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator is an advanced but simple tool designed to help traders visually understand market dynamics. It combines different aspects of market analysis of candle pressure from buyers and sellers, volume confirmation, and trend identification into a single view, which can assist both new and experienced traders in making informed trading decisions.
This indicator:
Saves time by simplifying market analysis.
Provides clear visual cues for buy/sell pressure, volume, and trend.
Offers customizable settings to suit individual trading styles.

ICT Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Breaker Blocks + Reversal Candles🔵 Introduction
The "Breaker Block" concept, widely utilized in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) technical analysis, is a crucial tool for identifying reversal points and significant market shifts. Originating from the "Order Block" concept, Breaker Blocks help traders pinpoint support and resistance levels. These blocks are essential for understanding market trends and recognizing optimal entry and exit points.
A Breaker Block is essentially a failed Order Block that changes its role when price action breaks through it. When an Order Block fails to hold as a support or resistance level, it reverses its function, becoming a Breaker Block.
There are two primary types : Bullish Breaker Blocks and Bearish Breaker Blocks. These Breaker Blocks align with the prevailing market trend and indicate potential entry points after a liquidity sweep or a shift in market structure.
Understanding and applying the Breaker Block strategy enables traders to capitalize on the behavior of institutional investors, enhancing their trading outcomes.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Setup 02 indicator designed to automate the identification of Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks. This tool enables traders to easily spot these blocks on a chart and utilize them for entering or exiting trades. Below is a breakdown of how to use this indicator in both bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish Breaker Block Setup
A Bullish Breaker Block setup is identified in an uptrend, where it serves as a potential entry point. This setup occurs when a Bearish Order Block fails and the price moves above the high of that Order Block. In this scenario, the previously bearish Order Block turns into a Bullish Breaker Block, which now acts as a support level for the price.
To trade a Bullish Breaker Block, wait for the price to retest this newly formed support level. Confirmation of the uptrend can be achieved by analyzing lower time frames for further market structure shifts or other bullish indicators.
A successful retest of the Bullish Breaker Block provides a high-probability entry point for a long trade, as it signals institutional support. Traders often place their stop-loss below the low of the Breaker Block zone to minimize risk.
🟣 Bearish Breaker Block Setup
A Bearish Breaker Block setup, conversely, is used in a downtrend to identify potential sell opportunities. This setup forms when a Bullish Order Block fails, and the price moves below the low of that Order Block.
Once this Order Block is broken, it reverses its role and becomes a Bearish Breaker Block, providing resistance to the price as it pushes downward. For a Bearish Breaker Block trade, wait for the price to retest this resistance level.
A confirmation of the downtrend, such as a market structure shift on a lower time frame or additional bearish signals, strengthens the setup. The Bearish Breaker Block retest provides an opportunity to enter a short position, with a stop-loss placed just above the high of the Breaker Block zone.
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This setting controls the look-back period used to identify pivot points that contribute to the detection of Order Blocks. A higher period captures longer-term pivots, while a lower period focuses on more recent price action. Adjusting this parameter allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to match their trading time frame.
Breaker Block Validity Period : This setting defines how long a Breaker Block remains valid based on the number of bars elapsed since its formation. Increasing the validity period keeps Breaker Blocks active for a longer duration, which can be useful for higher time frame analysis.
Mitigation Level BB : This option lets traders choose the level of the Order Block at which the price is expected to react. Options like "Proximal," "50% OB," and "Distal" adjust the zone where a reaction may occur, offering flexibility in setting up the entry and stop-loss levels.
Breaker Block Refinement : The refinement option refines the Breaker Block zone to display a more precise range for aggressive or defensive trading approaches. The "Aggressive" mode provides a tighter range for risk-tolerant traders, while the "Defensive" mode expands the zone for those with a more conservative approach.
🔵 Conclusion
The Breaker Block indicator provides traders with a sophisticated tool for identifying key reversal zones in the market. By leveraging Breaker Blocks, traders can gain insights into institutional order flow and predict critical support and resistance levels.
Using Breaker Blocks in conjunction with other ICT concepts, like Fair Value Gaps or liquidity sweeps, enhances the reliability of trading signals. This indicator empowers traders to make informed decisions, aligning their trades with institutional moves in the market.
As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to incorporate proper risk management, using stop-losses and position sizing to minimize potential losses. The Breaker Block strategy, when applied with discipline and thorough analysis, serves as a powerful addition to any trader’s toolkit.
Sequence Waves [OmegaTools]the sequence waves indicator, developed by omegatools, is a multi-functional tool designed to detect trends, sequences, and potential reversal signals based on price movements and volume. this indicator has two main modes, "trend" and "sequence," which determine how the indicator calculates directional changes. additional enhancements in this version include reversal signals, allowing users to identify potential long and short opportunities with specific entry cues.
input parameters
mode (mode): chooses the calculation basis for directional movement.
- "trend": uses a midline calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the "trend mode length" period to assess if the price is in an upward or downward trend.
- "sequence": compares the current price to the closing price of the previous "sequence mode length" period to detect shifts in direction.
counter mode (modec): sets whether the counter increments by a fixed amount (1 or -1) or the volume of the bar, impacting the indicator’s sensitivity.
- "fixed": increments or decrements the counter by 1.
- "volume": increments or decrements based on the period’s volume, making the indicator more responsive to high-volume periods.
percentile length (lntp): defines the lookback period for calculating overbought and oversold thresholds using a percentile method. shorter lengths make ob/os levels more reactive.
sensitivity (sens): controls the percentile-based ob/os thresholds, ranging from 10 to 100. higher values narrow ob/os zones, while lower values widen them, impacting signal frequency.
trend mode length (lnt1): sets the period length for midline calculation in trend mode, defaulting to 21. longer periods smooth the midline for detecting major trends.
sequence mode length (lnt2): sets the lookback period in sequence mode, with a default of 4. shorter lengths capture more frequent directional changes, while longer lengths smooth signals.
visual colors:
- up color (upc): sets the color for upward movements.
- down color (dnc): sets the color for downward movements.
calculation logic
midline calculation: in trend mode, a midline is derived from the average of the highest high and lowest low over the "trend mode length" period, acting as a reference to detect upward or downward movements.
counter calculation:
- in trend mode, if the close price is above the midline, the counter increases (or volume if volume mode is selected). it decreases when the price is below.
- in sequence mode, the counter increases if the close is above the closing price from "sequence mode length" periods ago and decreases if below.
the counter resets to zero on direction changes, creating clear directional transitions.
overbought/oversold percentiles: separate arrays track the counter’s values each time the direction changes, creating historical up and down values. ob and os thresholds are dynamically determined based on these arrays, with sizes limited by the percentile length and sensitivity inputs.
reversal signals: two new variables, "long" and "short," detect potential reversal points when the counter crosses specific thresholds:
- long: a long signal is generated when the counter switches to positive and exceeds the down percentile.
- short: a short signal is triggered when the counter switches to negative and exceeds the up percentile.
visual and display elements
counter plot: plots the counter value on the chart with color-coded columns, making it easy to spot directional momentum.
up and down percentiles: displays overbought (up percentile) and oversold (down percentile) thresholds to identify potential reversal zones.
regime background: the background color changes based on market regime:
- bullish (up percentile > down percentile): greenish background.
- bearish (down percentile > up percentile): reddish background.
- neutral (both percentiles equal): grayish background.
reversal signals: plotted as small triangles on the chart for visual confirmation of potential long (triangle up) and short (triangle down) reversal signals.
obs background: changes color when the counter exceeds ob or os thresholds, creating a visual cue for extreme market conditions:
- overbought: background changes to a faint down color.
- oversold: background changes to a faint up color.
status table: displayed on the right side of the chart, providing real-time status information:
- status: shows "overbought," "oversold," "long," "short," or "none" based on the current counter position.
- regime: indicates whether the market is in a "bullish," "bearish," or "neutral" state based on the percentile comparison.
- percentile up/down: displays the current up and down percentiles for quick reference.
how to use the indicator
trend following: in trend mode, use the midline-based counter to gauge if the market is in an uptrend (positive counter) or downtrend (negative counter).
reversal detection: the ob/os thresholds assist in identifying potential reversal points. when the counter exceeds the up percentile, it may indicate an overbought state, suggesting a bearish reversal. similarly, dropping below the down percentile may indicate an oversold state, suggesting a bullish reversal.
entry signals: use the long and short reversal signals for potential entry points, particularly in trending or range-bound markets. these signals are indicated by up and down triangles.
sequence trading: in sequence mode, the indicator tracks shorter-term directional shifts, making it suitable for detecting smaller momentum patterns based on recent price comparisons.
volume sensitivity: selecting volume mode enhances sensitivity to high-volume moves, allowing it to detect stronger market activity in both trend and sequence modes.
the sequence waves indicator is suited to both short-term and long-term traders. it allows for detailed trend analysis, reversal detection, and dynamic ob/os signals. the inclusion of visual reversal cues makes it a flexible tool adaptable to a variety of trading strategies.
Arshtiq - Multi-Timeframe Trend StrategyMulti-Timeframe Setup:
The script uses two distinct timeframes: a higher (daily) timeframe for identifying the trend and a lower (hourly) timeframe for making trades. This combination allows the script to follow the larger trend while timing entries and exits with more precision on a shorter timeframe.
Moving Averages Calculation:
higher_ma: The 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) calculated based on the daily timeframe. This average gives a sense of the larger trend direction.
lower_ma: The 20-period SMA calculated on the hourly (current) timeframe, providing a dynamic level for detecting entry and exit points within the broader trend.
Trend Identification:
Bullish Trend: The script determines that a bullish trend is present if the current price is above the daily moving average (higher_ma).
Bearish Trend: Similarly, a bearish trend is identified when the current price is below this daily moving average.
Trade Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the price on the hourly chart crosses above the hourly 20-period MA, but only if the higher (daily) timeframe trend is bullish. This ensures that buy trades align with the larger upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the price on the hourly chart crosses below the hourly 20-period MA, but only if the daily trend is bearish. This ensures that sell trades are consistent with the broader downtrend.
Plotting and Visual Cues:
Higher Timeframe MA: The daily 20-period moving average is plotted in red to help visualize the long-term trend.
Buy and Sell Signals: Buy signals appear as green labels below the price bars with the text "BUY," while sell signals appear as red labels above the bars with the text "SELL."
Background Coloring: The background changes color based on the identified trend for easier trend recognition:
Green (with transparency) when the daily trend is bullish.
Red (with transparency) when the daily trend is bearish.
WiseOwl Indicator - 1.0 The WiseOwl Indicator - 1.0 is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential entry points and market trends based on Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) across multiple timeframes. It focuses on providing clear visual cues for bullish and bearish market conditions, as well as potential breakout opportunities.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe EMA Analysis: Calculates EMAs on the current timeframe, Daily timeframe, and 15-minute timeframe to confirm trends.
Bullish and Bearish Market Identification: Determines market conditions based on the 200-period EMA on the Daily timeframe.
Directional Candle Coloring: Highlights candles based on their position relative to EMAs to provide immediate visual feedback.
Entry Signals: Plots buy and sell signals on the chart when specific conditions are met on the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes.
Breakout Candle Highlighting: Colors candles differently when significant price movements occur, indicating potential breakout opportunities.
How It Works
Market Condition Determination:
Bullish Market: When the close price is above the 200-period EMA on the Daily timeframe.
Bearish Market: When the close price is below the 200-period EMA on the Daily timeframe.
Directional Candle Coloring:
Green Background: Applied when the close is above the 50-period EMA and the market is not bearish.
Red Background: Applied when the close is below the 50-period EMA and the market is not bullish.
Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to define a range threshold.
Suppresses signals when EMAs are within this range, indicating a sideways market.
Plotting Entry Signals:
Plots arrows on the chart for potential long and short entries on the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes.
Breakout Candle Coloring:
Colors candles blue when a bullish breakout condition is met.
Colors candles orange when a bearish breakout condition is met.
How to Use
Trend Identification: Use the background coloring to quickly identify the overall market trend.
Green Background: Suggests bullish conditions; consider looking for long opportunities.
Red Background: Suggests bearish conditions; consider looking for short opportunities.
Entry Signals: Look for plotted arrows on the chart.
Green Upward Arrow: Indicates a potential long entry signal on the 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe.
Red Downward Arrow: Indicates a potential short entry signal on the 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe.
Breakout Opportunities: Watch for candles colored blue or orange.
Blue Candles: Highlight significant upward price movements.
Orange Candles: Highlight significant downward price movements.
Avoiding Ranging Markets: Be cautious when signals are suppressed due to ranging conditions; the market may not have a clear direction.

Moving Average Simple Tool [OmegaTools]This TradingView script is a versatile Moving Average Tool that offers users multiple moving average types and a customizable overbought and oversold (OB/OS) sensitivity feature. It is designed to assist in identifying potential price trends, reversals, and momentum by using different average calculations and providing visual indicators for deviation levels. Below is a detailed breakdown of the settings, functionality, and visual elements within the Moving Average Simple Tool.
Indicator Overview
Indicator Name: Moving Average Simple Tool
Short Title: MA Tool
Purpose: Provides a choice of six moving average types with configurable sensitivity, which helps traders identify trend direction, potential reversal zones, and overbought or oversold conditions.
Input Parameters
Source (src): This option allows the user to select the data source for the moving average calculation. By default, it is set to close, but users can choose other options like open, high, low, or any custom price data.
Length (lnt): Defines the period length for the moving average. By default, it is set to 21 periods, allowing users to adjust the moving average sensitivity to either shorter or longer periods.
Average Type (mode): This input defines the moving average calculation type. Six types of averages are available:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average)
RMA (Rolling Moving Average)
Middle Line: Calculates the average between the highest and lowest price over the period specified in Length. This is useful for a mid-range line rather than a traditional moving average.
Sensitivity (sens): This parameter controls the sensitivity of the overbought and oversold levels. The sensitivity value can range from 1 to 40, where a lower value represents a higher sensitivity and a higher value allows for smoother OB/OS zones.
Color Settings:
OS (Oversold Color, upc): The color applied to deviation areas that fall below the oversold threshold.
OB (Overbought Color, dnc): The color applied to deviation areas that exceed the overbought threshold.
Middle Line Color (midc): A gradient color that visually blends between overbought and oversold colors for smoother visual transitions.
Calculation Components
Moving Average Calculation (mu): Based on the chosen Average Type, this calculation derives the moving average or middle line value for the selected source and length.
Deviation (dev): The deviation of the source value from the moving average is calculated. This is useful to determine whether the current price is significantly above or below the average, signaling potential buying or selling opportunities.
Overbought (ob) and Oversold (os) Levels: These levels are calculated using a linear percentile interpolation based on the deviation, length, and sensitivity inputs. The higher the sensitivity, the narrower the overbought and oversold zones, allowing users to capture more frequent signals.
Visual Elements
Moving Average Line (mu): This line represents the moving average based on the selected calculation method and is plotted with a dynamic color based on deviation thresholds. When the deviation crosses into overbought or oversold zones, it shifts to the corresponding OB/OS colors, providing a visual indication of potential trend reversals.
Deviation Plot (dev): This plot visualizes the deviation values as a column plot, with colors matching the overbought, oversold, or neutral states. This helps users to quickly assess whether the price is trending or reverting back to its mean.
Overbought (ob) and Oversold (os) Levels: These levels are plotted as fixed lines, helping users identify when the deviation crosses into overbought or oversold zones.
Average Yield InversionDescription:
This script calculates and visualizes the average yield curve spread to identify whether the yield curve is inverted or normal. It takes into account short-term yields (1M, 3M, 6M, 2Y) and long-term yields (10Y, 30Y).
Positive values: The curve is normal, indicating long-term yields are higher than short-term yields. This often reflects economic growth expectations.
Negative values: The curve is inverted, meaning short-term yields are higher than long-term yields, a potential signal of economic slowdown or recession.
Key Features:
Calculates the average spread between long-term and short-term yields.
Displays a clear graph with a zero-line reference for quick interpretation.
Useful for tracking macroeconomic trends and potential market turning points.
This tool is perfect for investors, analysts, and economists who need to monitor yield curve dynamics at a glance.
ATR Stop LossThe ATR Stop Loss indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk by calculating dynamic stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). By considering market volatility, this tool helps identify optimal stop loss placements for both long and short positions, making it easier for traders to protect their investments and avoid premature exits.
Features:
Customizable ATR period and multiplier to adapt to different trading strategies and market conditions.
Displays stop loss levels directly on the chart for quick decision-making.
Works across various timeframes and assets, offering flexible application in diverse trading scenarios.
How It Works: The indicator calculates the ATR over a specified period and multiplies it by a user-defined value to plot stop loss levels above or below the current closing price. For long positions, the stop loss level is set below the price, while for short positions, it is set above. These levels help traders set stops that account for current market volatility, reducing the likelihood of getting stopped out by minor fluctuations.
Usage: Add the ATR Stop Loss indicator to your chart, customize the ATR period and multiplier as needed, and use the visualized stop loss levels to manage your trades with greater precision and confidence.

Market Stats Panel [Daveatt]█ Introduction
I've created a script that brings TradingView's watchlist stats panel functionality directly to your charts. This isn't just another performance indicator - it's a pixel-perfect (kidding) recreation of TradingView's native stats panel.
Important Notes
You might need to adjust manually the scaling the firs time you're using this script to display nicely all the elements.
█ Core Features
Performance Metrics
The panel displays key performance metrics (1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, YTD, 1Y) in real-time, with color-coded boxes (green for positive, red for negative) for instant performance assessment.
Display Modes
Switch seamlessly between absolute prices and percentage returns, making it easy to compare assets across different price scales.
Absolute mode
Percent mode
Historical Comparison
View year-over-year performance with color-coded lines, allowing for quick historical pattern recognition and analysis.
Data Structure Innovation
Let's talk about one of the most interesting challenges I faced. PineScript has this quirky limitation where request.security() can only return 127 tuples at most. £To work around this, I implemented a dual-request system. The first request handles indices 0-63, while the second one takes care of indices 64-127.
This approach lets us maintain extensive historical data without compromising script stability.
And here's the cool part: if you need to handle even more years of historical data, you can simply extend this pattern by adding more request.security() calls.
Each additional call can fetch another batch of monthly open prices and timestamps, following the same structure I've used.
Think of it as building with LEGO blocks - you can keep adding more pieces to extend your historical reach.
Flexible Date Range
Unlike many scripts that box you into specific timeframes, I've designed this one to be completely flexible with your date selection. You can set any start year, any end year, and the script will dynamically scale everything to match. The visual presentation automatically adjusts to whatever range you choose, ensuring your data is always displayed optimally.
█ Customization Options
Visual Settings
The panel's visual elements are highly customizable. You can adjust the panel width to perfectly fit your workspace, fine-tune the line thickness to match your preferences, and enjoy the pre-defined year color scheme that makes tracking historical performance intuitive and visually appealing.
Box Dimensions
Every aspect of the performance boxes can be tailored to your needs. Adjust their height and width, fine-tune the spacing between them, and position the entire panel exactly where you want it on your chart. The goal is to make this tool feel like it's truly yours.
█ Technical Challenges Solved
Polyline Precision
Creating precise polylines was perhaps the most demanding aspect of this project.
The challenge was ensuring accurate positioning across both time and price axes, while handling percentage mode scaling with precision.
The script constantly updates the current year's data in real-time, seamlessly integrating new information as it comes in.
Axis Management
Getting the axes right was like solving a complex puzzle. The Y-axis needed to scale dynamically whether you're viewing absolute prices or percentages.
The X-axis required careful month labeling that stays clean and readable regardless of your selected timeframe.
Everything needed to align perfectly while maintaining proper spacing in all conditions.
█ Final Notes
This tool transforms complex market data into clear, actionable insights. Whether you're day trading or analyzing long-term trends, it provides the information you need to make informed decisions. And remember, while we can't predict the future, we can certainly be better prepared for it with the right tools at hand.
A word of warning though - seeing those red numbers in a beautifully formatted panel doesn't make them any less painful! 😉

Happy Trading! May your charts be green and your stops be far away!

Globex time (New York Time)This indicator is designed to highlight and analyze price movements within the Globex session. Primarily geared toward the Globex Trap trading strategy, this tool visually identifies the session's high and low prices, allowing traders to better assess price action during extended hours. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose
The "Globex Time (New York Time)" indicator tracks price levels during the Globex trading session, providing a clear view of overnight market activity. This session, typically running from 6 p.m. ET (18:00) until the following morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, is a critical period where significant market positioning can occur before the regular session opens. In the Globex Trap strategy, the session high and low are essential levels, as price movements around these areas often indicate potential support, resistance, or reversal zones, which traders use to set up entries or exits when the regular trading session begins.
Key Features
Customizable Session Start and End Times
The indicator allows users to specify the exact start and end times of the Globex session in New York time. The default settings are:
Start: 6 p.m. ET (18:00)
End: 8:30 a.m. ET
These settings can be adjusted to align with specific market hours or personal preferences.
Session High and Low Identification
Throughout the defined session, the indicator dynamically calculates and tracks:
Session High: The highest price reached within the session.
Session Low: The lowest price reached within the session.
These levels are essential for the Globex Trap strategy, as price action around them can indicate likely breakout or reversal points when regular trading resumes.
Vertical Lines for Session Start and End
The indicator draws vertical lines at both the session start and end times:
Session Start Line: A solid line marking the exact beginning of the Globex session.
Session End Line: A similar vertical line marking the session’s conclusion.
Both lines are customizable in terms of color and thickness, making it easy to distinguish the session boundaries visually on the chart.
Horizontal Lines for Session High and Low
At the end of the session, the indicator plots horizontal lines representing the Globex session's high and low levels. Users can customize these lines:
Color: Define specific colors for the session high (default: red) and session low (default: green) to easily differentiate them.
Line Style: Options to set the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) provide flexibility for visual preferences and chart organization.
Automatic Reset for Daily Tracking
To adapt to the next trading day, the indicator resets the session high and low data once the current session ends. This reset prepares it to start tracking new levels at the beginning of the next session without manual intervention.
Practical Application in the Globex Trap Strategy
In the Globex Trap strategy, traders are primarily interested in price behavior around the high and low levels established during the overnight session. Common applications of this indicator for this strategy include:
Breakout Trades: Watching for price to break above the Globex high or below the Globex low, indicating potential momentum in the breakout direction.
Reversal Trades: Monitoring for failed breakouts or traps where price tests and rejects the Globex high or low, suggesting a reversal as liquidity is trapped in these zones.
Support and Resistance Zones: Using the session high and low as key support and resistance levels during the regular trading session, with potential entry or exit points when price approaches these areas.
Additional Configuration Options
Vertical Line Color and Width: Define the color and thickness of the vertical session start and end lines to match your chart’s theme.
Upper and Lower Line Colors and Styles: Customize the appearance of the session high and low horizontal lines by setting color and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), making it easy to distinguish these critical levels from other chart markings.
Summary
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders implementing the Globex Trap strategy. It visually segments the Globex session and marks essential price levels, helping traders analyze market behavior overnight. Through its customizable options and clear visual representation, it simplifies tracking overnight price activity and identifying strategic levels for potential trade setups during the regular session.

1. RSI Calculation: Measures 14-period RSI of the closing price, default threshold levels at 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold).
2. Moving Averages (SMA and WMA):
- SMA and WMA are applied to RSI for trend smoothing.
- SMA gives equal weight; WMA gives more weight to recent values, making it more responsive.
3.Overbought/Oversold Lines and Labels:
- Horizontal lines and scale labels at 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) make these levels easy to reference.
This indicator is useful for identifying potential reversal points and momentum trends when RSI crosses its moving averages.
Low Price VolatilityI highlighted periods of low price volatility in the Nikkei 225 futures trading.
It is Japan Standard Time (JST)
This script is designed to color-code periods in the Nikkei 225 futures market according to times when prices tend to be more volatile and times when they are less volatile. The testing period is from March 11, 2024, to November 1, 2024. It identifies periods and counts where price movement exceeded half of the ATR, and colors are applied based on this data. There are no calculations involved; it simply uses the results of the analysis to apply color.
Smoothed Heiken Ashi Trend FilterThis indicator applies the Heiken Ashi technique with added smoothing and trend filtering to help reduce noise and improve trend detection.
Components of the Indicator:
Heiken Ashi Calculations:
Heiken Ashi Close (ha_close): This is the smoothed average of the current bar’s open, high, low, and close prices, calculated with a simple moving average (SMA) to filter out noise.
Heiken Ashi Open (ha_open): This is the average of the previous Heiken Ashi Open and the current Heiken Ashi Close. It’s also initialized to smooth the transition on the first bar.
Heiken Ashi High (ha_high) and Low (ha_low): These values are calculated as the highest and lowest values among the high, Heiken Ashi Open, and Heiken Ashi Close for each bar.
Smoothing and Noise Reduction:
Smoothing Length: The indicator applies a smoothing length to the Heiken Ashi Close, calculated with an SMA. This reduces minor fluctuations, giving a clearer view of the price action.
Minimum Body Size Filter: This filter calculates the body size of each Heiken Ashi candle and compares it to a percentage of the Average True Range (ATR). Only significant candles (those with larger bodies) are plotted, reducing weak or indecisive signals.
Trend Filtering with Moving Average:
The indicator uses a simple moving average (SMA) as a trend filter. By comparing the Heiken Ashi Close to the moving average:
Bullish Trend: The Heiken Ashi candle is green when it’s above the moving average.
Bearish Trend: The Heiken Ashi candle is red when it’s below the moving average.
How to Use This Indicator:
Trend Identification:
Green candles signify a bullish trend, while red candles signify a bearish trend.
The smoothing and trend filtering make it easier to identify sustained trends and avoid reacting to short-term fluctuations.
Filtering Out Noise:
Minor price fluctuations and small-bodied candles (often resulting in indecisive signals) are filtered out, leaving only significant signals.
Adjustable Parameters:
Smoothing Length: Controls the degree of smoothing applied to the Heiken Ashi Close value. Increasing this value will make the Heiken Ashi candles smoother.
Minimum Body Size: This is a percentage of the ATR, used to filter out small or indecisive candles.
Trend Moving Average Length: Controls the period of the moving average used as a trend filter.
This Smoothed Heiken Ashi Trend Filter indicator is useful for identifying trends and filtering out noisy signals. By smoothing and filtering, it helps traders focus on the overall trend rather than minor price movements.

5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.
Delivery Volume IndicatorDelivery Volume Indicator
The Delivery Volume Indicator is designed to provide insights into trading volume specifically delivered on a daily basis, scaled in lakhs (hundreds of thousands) for ease of interpretation. This tool can be especially useful for traders looking to monitor delivery-based volume changes and trends, as it helps to distinguish between bullish and bearish volume flows.
Key Features:
Daily Volume in Lakhs: The indicator pulls daily volume data and scales it to lakhs for more readable values.
Bullish/Bearish Color Coding: The indicator color-codes volume columns to reflect market sentiment. Columns are displayed in green when the price closes higher than it opens (bullish) and in red when the price closes lower than it opens (bearish).
Adjustable EMA: A customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to the scaled delivery volume. The EMA line, displayed in blue, helps smooth out volume trends and allows traders to adjust the period for personal strategy alignment.
How to Use:
Observe the delivery volume changes to track market sentiment over time. Increased bullish delivery volume could indicate accumulating interest, while increased bearish delivery volume might suggest distribution.
Utilize the EMA to identify longer-term trends in delivery volume, with shorter EMA periods for quick volume shifts and longer periods for gradual trend changes.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking volume-based insights that align closely with price action.
