Dynamic Support and Resistance"Dynamic Support & Resistance" Indicator: Find Key Price Levels Easily
This indicator helps you quickly spot potential support and resistance levels on your chart. Think of these levels as price "floors" (support) and "ceilings" (resistance) where the price might bounce or change direction.
How to Use It:
Add it to your chart: Search for "Support and Resistance Zones" in TradingView's indicator library and add it to your chart.
See the lines: You'll see green dashed lines for support and red dashed lines for resistance.
Understand the levels:
Green lines (Support): These show price levels where buyers might step in and push the price back up.
Red lines (Resistance): These show price levels where sellers might step in and push the price back down.
Adjust the settings (optional):
You can change how sensitive the indicator is by adjusting the "Support Window" and "Resistance Window" settings. A smaller number finds more levels, a larger number finds fewer, but potentially stronger levels.
Use it for your trading:
Look for price bounces at support levels to consider buying.
Look for price reversals at resistance levels to consider selling.
These levels can also help you decide where to place stop-loss orders.
Why it's useful:
Saves time: It automatically finds these important price levels, so you don't have to draw them manually.
Easy to see: The colored lines make the levels clear and easy to understand.
Helps with decisions: It gives you potential entry and exit points for your trades.
In simple terms, this indicator makes it easier to see where the price might change direction, helping you make smarter trading choices.

Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)
The Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL) helps traders identify unusual volume activity by comparing the current volume to the average historical volume. This makes it easier to spot potential breakouts, reversals, or significant market events that are accompanied by volume confirmation.
What This Indicator Shows
This indicator displays volume as a multiple of average volume, where:
- 1.0x means 100% of average volume
- 2.0x means 200% of average volume (twice the average)
- 0.5x means 50% of average volume (half the average)
Color Coding
The volume bars are color-coded based on configurable thresholds:
- Red: Below average volume (< Average Volume Threshold)
- Yellow: Average volume (between Average Volume and Above Average thresholds)
- Green: Above average volume (between Above Average and Extreme thresholds)
- Magenta: Extreme volume (> Extreme Volume Threshold)
Horizontal Reference Lines
Three dotted horizontal reference lines help you visualize the thresholds:
- Lower gray line: Average Volume Threshold (default: 0.8x)
- Upper gray line: Above Average Threshold (default: 1.25x)
- Magenta line: Extreme Volume Threshold (default: 4.0x)
How To Use This Indicator
1. Volume Confirmation: Use green bars to confirm breakouts or trend changes - stronger moves often come with above-average volume.
2. Low Volume Warning: Red bars during price movements may indicate weak conviction and potential reversals.
3. Extreme Volume Events: Magenta bars (extreme volume) often signal major market events or potential exhaustion points that could lead to reversals.
4. Volume Divergence: Look for divergences between price and volume - for example, if price makes new highs but volume is decreasing (more yellow/red bars), the move may be losing strength.
Settings Configuration
- Average Volume Lookback Period: Number of bars used to calculate the average volume (default: 20)
- Average Volume Threshold: Volume below this level is considered below average (default: 0.8x)
- Above Average Threshold: Volume above this level is considered above average (default: 1.25x)
- Extreme Volume Threshold: Volume above this level is considered extreme (default: 4.0x)
- Colors: Customize colors for each volume category
Important Note: Adjust threshold values only through the indicator settings (not in the Style tab). Changing values in the Style tab will not adjust the coloring of the volume bars.
Adjust these settings based on the specific asset being analyzed and your trading timeframe. More volatile assets may require higher thresholds, while less volatile ones might need lower thresholds.
EMA Price Range by tuanduongEMA Price Range Indicator – Dynamic Range Analysis with Custom EMA (tuanduong2511)
Overview
The EMA Price Range Indicator is designed to help traders visualize the distance between price action and a key Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This indicator dynamically calculates the range from each candle to a user-defined EMA and displays it in a real-time table. By understanding the relationship between price and the EMA, traders can better gauge potential support, resistance, and overextension in the market.
Key Features
✅ Customizable EMA – Allows users to choose the EMA period that best suits their strategy (default: 144).
✅ Real-Time Range Calculation – Computes the absolute difference between the EMA and the price (using the high or low, depending on whether the candle is above or below the EMA).
✅ Minimalist UI – The EMA is plotted directly on the chart, while a small table in the bottom-right corner provides numerical insights, reducing chart clutter.
✅ Versatile Use Cases – Suitable for trend-following traders (identifying pullbacks to EMA) and mean-reversion traders (spotting extended price movements).
How It Works
User-Defined EMA:
The script calculates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the selected period.
EMA adapts dynamically, giving more weight to recent price movements.
Range Calculation:
If the price is above the EMA, the range is measured from the high point of the candle to the EMA.
If the price is below the EMA, the range is measured from the low point of the candle to the EMA.
This approach ensures that we’re measuring the most relevant distance for price interaction.
Live Table Display:
The current EMA value and the distance (range) from the price are displayed in a small table in the bottom-right corner of the chart.
How to Use It
📌 Trend Traders: Use the indicator to track pullbacks to key EMAs (e.g., EMA 50, 144, or 200). When the price is far from the EMA, it may indicate an overextended trend or potential retracement zone.
📌 Mean Reversion Traders: Look for extreme deviations between price and the EMA. Large distances can signal potential price snapbacks to the mean.
📌 Scalping & Day Trading: Short-term traders can use it with fast EMAs (e.g., EMA 21 or 34) to measure quick price movements relative to short-term momentum.
Why This Indicator?
Unlike traditional EMA indicators, which only plot a moving average, this script provides quantifiable price distance to the EMA, helping traders make data-driven decisions. It allows traders to answer:
✅ Is the price stretched too far from the EMA?
✅ Should I wait for a pullback before entering?
✅ Is the trend strong, or is the price losing momentum?
By integrating EMA-based range analysis, traders gain a clearer understanding of market conditions and can improve their entry, exit, and risk management strategies.

FunkyQuokka's $ Volume💡 Why $ Volume Matters
Share volume alone is a half-truth — 1M shares traded at $5 isn’t the same as 1M shares at $500. That’s where dollar volume steps in, offering a far more accurate view of institutional interest, breakout validity, liquidity zones and overall trader conviction.
📈 Features:
Clean histogram of dollar volume (close × volume)
Orange line showing customizable average $ volume
K/M/B formatting for axis scale (no huge ugly numbers)
Minimal design to blend into a multi-pane layout
⚙️ Inputs:
Tweakable average length – defaults to 20

You can set a threshold volume of your choice, and the indicator will display volumes below this threshold in red and volumes above it in green.
Triple EMA + Volume/Price SignalsOverview
This script merges three exponential moving averages (EMA) with adaptive volume thresholds to identify high-confidence trends. Unlike basic volume indicators, it triggers signals only when volume exceeds both a user-defined absolute value (e.g., 500k) and a percentage increase (e.g., 5%) – reducing noise in volatile markets.
Key Features
Triple EMA System:
Short (9), Medium (21), and Long (50) EMAs for trend direction.
Bullish Signal: Short EMA > Medium EMA > Long EMA.
Bearish Signal: Short EMA < Medium EMA < Long EMA.
Dual-Threshold Volume Confirmation:
Absolute Volume: Highlight bars where volume exceeds X (e.g., 500,000).
Percentage Increase: Highlight bars where volume rises by Y% (e.g., 5%) vs. prior bar.
Users can enable/disable either threshold.
Customizable Alerts:
Trigger alerts only when both EMA alignment and volume conditions are met.
How It Works
Trend + Volume Synergy:
A bullish EMA crossover alone might be a false breakout. This script requires additional volume confirmation (e.g., 500k volume + 5% spike) to validate the move.
Flexibility: Adjust thresholds for different assets:
Stocks: Higher absolute volume (e.g., 1M shares).
Crypto: Smaller absolute volume but larger % spikes (e.g., 10%).
Usage Examples
Swing Trading:
Set EMA lengths to 20/50/200 and volume thresholds to 500k + 5% on daily charts.
Scalping:
Use 5/13/21 EMAs with 100k volume + 3% spikes on 5-minute charts.
Tendencia y Fuerza [4H - Sin Límites]This custom indicator combines two key elements for analyzing financial markets on a 4-hour timeframe:
Trend direction (bullish/bearish).
Brute force of the movement (no numerical limits).
🔍 Main Components:
1. Trend Line (Green/Red):
Green: Uptrend (20 EMA > 50 EMA on the 4-hour period).
Red: Downtrend (20 EMA < 50 EMA on the 4-hour period).
Purpose: To quickly identify market direction.

Multiple MAsHere's a well-written description in English for your "Multiple MAs" indicator that you can use when publishing on TradingView. It’s concise, professional, and highlights the key features of the indicator while explaining its purpose for traders.
---
### Multiple MAs Indicator
#### Overview
The **Multiple MAs** indicator is a versatile and straightforward tool designed to help traders visualize price trends using multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) on a single chart. By plotting six SMAs with customizable lengths (MA5, MA10, MA20, MA50, MA100, and MA200), this indicator provides a clear view of short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends, making it ideal for trend-following strategies, crossover analysis, and identifying potential support/resistance levels.
#### Features
- **Customizable MA Lengths**: Adjust the periods of all six moving averages (MA5, MA10, MA20, MA50, MA100, MA200) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- **Distinct Visuals**: Each MA is plotted with a unique color and line width for easy identification:
- MA5 (Dodger Blue, 1px)
- MA10 (Green, 1px)
- MA20 (Red, 2px)
- MA50 (Purple, 3px)
- MA100 (Gray, 3px)
- MA200 (White, 3px)
- **Overlay on Price Chart**: The indicator overlays directly on the price chart, allowing for seamless integration with other technical analysis tools.
- **High Precision**: Displays values with 8-decimal precision, ensuring accuracy for assets with small price movements (e.g., forex pairs or cryptocurrencies).
#### How to Use
1. **Trend Identification**: Use the longer MAs (e.g., MA100, MA200) to determine the overall trend direction. If the price is above these MAs, the trend is likely bullish; if below, it’s likely bearish.
2. **Crossover Signals**: Look for crossovers between shorter MAs (e.g., MA5 crossing MA20) for potential entry or exit signals. For example:
- A bullish signal occurs when a shorter MA crosses above a longer MA.
- A bearish signal occurs when a shorter MA crosses below a longer MA.
3. **Support and Resistance**: MAs often act as dynamic support or resistance levels. Watch for price reactions around these lines, especially the MA50, MA100, and MA200.
4. **Divergence Analysis**: Compare the slope of different MAs to identify potential trend reversals or weakening momentum.
#### Settings
- **MA5 Length**: Default is 5 bars.
- **MA10 Length**: Default is 10 bars.
- **MA20 Length**: Default is 20 bars.
- **MA50 Length**: Default is 50 bars.
- **MA100 Length**: Default is 100 bars.
- **MA200 Length**: Default is 200 bars.
#### Best Practices
- **Timeframe**: This indicator works on any timeframe but is particularly effective on daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour charts for swing trading or trend-following strategies.
- **Combine with Other Tools**: Pair the Multiple MAs with other indicators like RSI, MACD, or volume analysis to confirm signals and avoid false breakouts.
- **Adjust for Volatility**: For highly volatile assets, consider increasing the MA lengths to reduce noise and focus on broader trends.
#### Notes
- The indicator is lightweight and optimized for performance, ensuring it runs smoothly even on lower timeframes.
- Colors and line widths are pre-set for clarity but can be customized in the indicator settings if needed.

ATR - Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon🧭 Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)
The Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR) is an enhanced and reimagined version of the standard Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It visualizes not just raw volatility, but the structure, momentum, and efficiency of volatility through a multi-layered visual approach.
It contains two distinct visual systems:
1. A zero-centered histogram that expresses how current volatility compares to its historical average, with intensity and color showing speed and conviction
2. A braided ribbon made of dual ATR-based moving averages that highlight transitions in volatility behavior—whether volatility is expanding or contracting
The name reflects its purpose: to capture asymmetric, evolving turbulence in market behavior, through structure-aware volatility tracking.
_______________________________________________________________
🔧 Inputs (Fibonacci defaults)
ATR Length
Lookback period for ATR calculation (default: 13)
ATR Base Avg. Length
Moving average period used as the zero baseline for histogram (default: 55)
ATR ROC Lookback
Number of bars to measure rate of change for histogram color mapping (default: 8)
Timeframe Override
Optionally calculate ATR values from a higher or fixed timeframe (e.g., 1D) for macro-volatility overlay
Show Ribbon Fill
Toggles colored fill between ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show ATR MAs
Toggles visibility of ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show Crossover Markers
Shows directional triangle markers where ATR EMA and HMA cross
Show Histogram
Toggles the entire histogram display
_______________________________________________________________
📊 Histogram Component: Volatility Energy Profile
The histogram shows how far the current ATR is from its moving average baseline, centered around zero. This lets you interpret volatility pressure—whether it's expanding, contracting, or preparing to reverse.
To complement this, the indicator also plots the raw ATR line in aqua. This is the actual average true range value—used internally in both the histogram and ribbon calculations. By default, it appears as a slightly thicker line, providing a clear reference point for comparing historical volatility trends and absolute levels.
Use the baseline ATR to:
- Compare real-time volatility to previous peaks or troughs
- Monitor how ATR behaves near histogram flips or ribbon crossovers
- Evaluate volatility phases in absolute terms alongside relative momentum
The ATR line is particularly helpful for users who want to keep tabs on raw volatility values while still benefiting from the enhanced visual storytelling of the histogram and ribbon systems.
Each histogram bar is colored based on the rate of change (ROC) in ATR: The faster ATR rises or falls, the more intense the color. Meanwhile, the opacity of each bar is adjusted by the effort/result ratio of the price candle (body vs. range), showing how much price movement was achieved with conviction.
Color Interpretation:
🔴 Red
Strong volatility expansion
Market entering or deepening into a volatility burst
Seen during breakouts, panic moves, or macro shock events
Often accompanied by large real candle bodies
🟠 Orange
Moderate volatility expansion
Heating up phase, often precedes breakouts
Common in strong trending environments
Signals tightening before acceleration
🟡 Yellow
Mild volatility increase
Transitional state—energy building, not yet exploding
Appears in early trend development or pullbacks
🟢 Green
Mild volatility contraction
ATR cooling off
Seen during consolidation, reversion, or range balance
Good time to assess upcoming directional setups
🔵 Aqua
Moderate compression
Volatility is clearly declining
Signals consolidation within larger structure
Pre-breakout zones often form here
🔵 Deep Blue
Strong volatility compression
Market is coiling or dormant
Can signal upcoming squeeze or fade environment
Often followed by sharp expansion
Opacity scaling:
Brighter bars = efficient, directional price action (strong bodies)
Faded bars = indecision, chop, absorption, or wick-heavy structure
Together, color and opacity give a 2D view of market volatility: Hue = the type and direction of volatility
Opacity = the quality and structure behind it
Use this to gauge whether volatility is rising with conviction, fading into neutrality, or compressing toward breakout potential.
_______________________________________________________________
🪡 Ribbon Component: Volatility Rhythm Structure
The ribbon overlays two moving averages of ATR:
EMA (yellow) – faster, more reactive
HMA (orange) – smoother, more rhythmic
Their relationship creates the ribbon logic:
Yellow fill (EMA > HMA)
Short-term volatility is increasing faster than the longer-term rhythm
Signals active expansion and engagement
Orange fill (HMA > EMA)
Volatility is decaying or leveling off
Suggests possible exhaustion, pullback, or range
Crossover triangle markers (optional, off by default to avoid clutter) identify the moment of shift in volatility phase.
The ribbon reflects the shape of volatility over time—ideal for mapping cyclical energy shifts, transitional states, and alignment between current and average volatility.
_______________________________________________________________
📐 Strategy Application
Use the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon to:
- Detect volatility expansions before breakouts or directional runs
- Spot compression zones that precede structural ruptures
- Visually separate efficient moves from noisy market activity
- Confirm or fade trade setups based on underlying energy state
- Track the volatility environment across multiple timeframes using the override
_______________________________________________________________
🎯 Ideal Timeframes
Designed to function across all timeframes, but particularly powerful on intraday to daily ranges (1H to 1D)
Use the timeframe override to anchor your chart in higher-timeframe volatility context, like daily ATR behavior influencing a 1H setup.
_______________________________________________________________
🧬 Customization Tips
- Increase ATR ROC Lookback for smoother color transitions
- Extend ATR Base Avg Length for more macro-driven histogram centering
- Disable the histogram for ribbon-only rhythm view
- Use opacity and color shifts in the histogram to detect stealth energy builds
- Align ATR phases with structure or order flow tools for high-quality setups
Malama's market chop"Malama's Market Chop" (MMC) is a TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify choppy, sideways market conditions where price movement lacks a clear trend. It solves a common problem for traders: avoiding false signals or unprofitable trades during periods of indecision in the market. By measuring market "choppiness" and visually highlighting these zones, MMC empowers users to either steer clear of trades or adjust their strategies (e.g., switching to range-bound tactics) when trends are weak.
How It Works
MMC is built around the Choppiness Index, a mathematical formula that quantifies how much a market is consolidating versus trending. Here’s the simple breakdown:
It looks at the price range (highs and lows) over a user-defined period (default: 14 bars).
It compares the sum of individual bar ranges to the total range across that period, then applies a logarithmic calculation to produce a value between 0 and 100.
A higher value (e.g., above 61.8 by default) indicates a choppy, non-trending market, while a lower value suggests a trending market.
The indicator then uses this data to:
Color the chart background yellow during choppy conditions.
Place a small blue triangle below bars when choppiness is detected.
Show the exact Choppiness Index value as a label on the latest bar for real-time monitoring.
How to Use It
Adding to TradingView: Open TradingView, click the "Indicators" button at the top, search for "Malama's Market Chop" (or paste the script into a new Pine Script editor and save it), and add it to your chart.

Choppiness Period (default: 14): Adjust this to change how many bars the indicator analyzes. Shorter periods (e.g., 10) react faster but may be noisier; longer periods (e.g., 20) smooth the signal.
Choppiness Threshold (default: 61.8): This is the cutoff for what’s considered "choppy." Raise it (e.g., 70) for stricter chop detection or lower it (e.g., 50) to catch milder consolidation.
Interpreting Signals:
Yellow Background: The market is choppy—price is likely bouncing around without direction. Beginners might sit out or use range-trading strategies (e.g., buy low, sell high within the range).
Blue Triangle: A quick visual cue that choppiness is active on that bar.
ChopIndex Label: Check the number. Above the threshold (e.g., 61.8) means choppy; below suggests a trend might be forming.
Tips:
Beginners: Pair MMC with a simple trend indicator (like a moving average) to confirm when to avoid trades during yellow zones.
Pros: Experiment with the threshold on different timeframes (e.g., 5-minute vs. daily) or assets (stocks, forex, crypto) to fine-tune for your trading style.
Originality
What makes MMC stand out is its blend of clarity and practicality. While the Choppiness Index isn’t new, MMC enhances it with:
Visual Simplicity: The yellow background and blue triangles make choppy conditions instantly recognizable, even for beginners, without cluttering the chart.
Real-Time Feedback: The live ChopIndex label keeps you informed without needing to dig into settings or calculations.
Customization: Adjustable period and threshold settings let traders tailor it to their specific needs, unlike many static chop indicators.
This combination transforms a classic concept into a user-friendly, actionable tool that bridges the gap between novice intuition and professional precision.
