TheLength (Default: 20): The period for calculating the basis SMA and standard deviation.
tpmult (Default: 2.5): The multiplier for the standard deviation to set the take profit levels.
Usage: Generates buy and sell take profit signals when the price crosses over or under the calculated levels.
Detailed Explanation
Supply and Demand Zones Logic:
Swing High and Swing Low:
Functions isSwingHigh and isSwingLow determine whether the current high or low is the highest or lowest within a specified length, indicating potential supply or demand zones.
Zone Visualization:
When a new swing high or low is detected, a box is drawn from the identified bar and extended to the right for visibility. This helps traders visually identify these critical zones.
The boxes are updated dynamically as new swings are detected, ensuring the most relevant zones are always displayed.
RSI and MACD Signals:
RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the RSI using the specified period and then smooths it using an exponential moving average.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the RSI's crossover with the 50 level.
MACD Calculation:
The MACD line and signal line are calculated using the specified periods.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line.
These signals can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Trend Detection and Take Profit Signals:
Trend Detection:
The script calculates the basis (SMA) and upper and lower bands based on the standard deviation.
It determines the trend strength and direction by comparing the current price to these bands.
Take Profit Levels:
Take profit levels are set by multiplying the standard deviation by a user-defined multiplier.
Signals are plotted when the price crosses these take profit levels, indicating potential exit points.

Relative Equal Highs/LowsThis Pine script indicator is designed to create a visual representation of the relative equal highs & lows formed and automatically removed mitigated ones. Unlike indicators designed to show exact equal high/lows this indicator allows a small, configurable degree of variance between price to identify areas where price stops.
Relevance:
Relative Equal highs and lows can serve as valuable tools in identifying potential shifts in trend direction. They come into play when the price hits a support or resistance level and can’t advance further, signaling a possible reversal or pivot point. When the price sufficiently retreats from these levels, relative equal highs and lows can also indicate liquidity draws where buy/sell stops might be positioned, in accordance with SMC/ICT concepts.
How It Works:
The indicator tracks all unmitigated highs & lows within the chart’s present timeframe, limited to the user-defined max bars lookback for optimal performance. If the prices are within the configured variance they are marked as relatively equal and at that point are visually identified by a horizontal line, which connects the two (or more) points of price. Depending on configuration of the indicator, a line is rendered from the 1st, last or both values within the relatively equal range of price. A unique feature of this indicator is its ability to remove the line once the price mitigates the relative equal high/low by falling below the lows or rising above highs. This ensures the chart remains uncluttered and highlights only the currently relevant levels, setting it apart from other indicators providing similar functionality.
Configurability:
The indicator offers five style settings for complete customization of the lines that represent equal highs/lows. These settings include line style, color, and width, along with an option to extend the lines to the right of the chart for enhanced visibility of equal high/low levels. To optimize performance, the indicator allows users to configure the lookback length, determining how far back the price history should be examined. In most instances, the default setting of 500 bars proves more than adequate. Additionally, you can set thresholds via separate configs for stocks & indices that will determine if the price is relatively equal and lastly allow you to configure where the indicator line should be drawn, the first, last or all the values.
Additional notes:
This uses a different approach then my “equal highs/lows” indicator to identify price levels and because it focuses specifically on relative as opposed to exact values it is entirely different and may show “weaker”, but still important levels of liquidity. This indicator is more suited for analysis of stocks and indices or higher-timeframes where price-action rarely forms exact equal values instead more frequently forming almost equal values. My other indicator is more suited for smaller (15m or less) timeframe on indices where exact equal prices are often identical. Depending on situation different indicators should be used.
Double FVG-BPR [QuantVue]The Double FVG BPR Indicator is a versatile tool that helps traders identify potential support and resistance levels through the concept of balanced price ranges.
A Balanced Price Range (BPR) is a zone on a price chart where the market has found equilibrium after a period of price imbalance.
It is identified by detecting a Fair Value Gap (FVG) in one direction, followed by an overlapping Fair Value Gap in the opposite direction.
Components of a Balanced Price Range
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A FVG occurs when there is a rapid price movement, creating a gap in the price chart where minimal trading occurs. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand.
Bullish FVG: A bullish FVG is identified when the low of a candle is higher than the high of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is higher than the high of that same period.
Bearish FVG: A bearish FVG is identified when the high of a candle is lower than the low of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is lower than the low of that same period.
Overlapping Fair Value Gap: For a BPR to be formed, an initial FVG must be followed by an overlapping FVG in the opposite direction. This creates a balanced zone where the price has moved up (or down) quickly and then moved down (or up) with similar intensity, suggesting a temporary equilibrium.
The area between the high and low points of these overlapping FVGs forms the BPR. This zone represents a temporary market equilibrium where supply and demand have balanced out after a period of significant price movement in both directions.
How to Use
Support and Resistance Levels: The upper and lower boundaries of the BPR act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can use these levels to place buy and sell orders, anticipating that the price may find support or face resistance within these zones.
Trend Reversal and Continuation: The BPR can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
If the price moves back into the BPR after a breakout, it may indicate a reversal. Conversely, if the price breaks out of the BPR with strong momentum, it may signal a trend continuation.
Supports & Resistances [UAlgo]The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key support and resistance levels on the price chart. It utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) and Pivot Points to define the boundaries of S & R zones and considers historical price action to assess the strength of these zones.
🔶 How to Obtain Zones
The script continuously analyzes the price action and identifies potential support and resistance zones based on the following criteria:
Zone Creation: For swing highs, a zone is created with the high price at the zone length as the top and the top minus the Average True Range (ATR) as the bottom. Conversely, for swing lows, the zone is created with the low price at the zone length as the bottom and the low plus the ATR as the top.
Zone Strength Calculation: The script iterates through historical bars within the zone and counts how many times the price (low for support, high for resistance) touched but failed to break entirely through the zone. This count is assigned as the zone's "strength".
Zone Display and Removal: It identifying zones by assigning a "strength" value based on how many times the price has approached but failed to break the zone. This helps prioritize stronger potential support/resistance levels. Only zones exceeding the defined "strength threshold" are visually displayed on the chart. Weaker zones or those broken by price are automatically removed.
🔶 Parameters
Zone Length: Traders can adjust S & R detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Strength Threshold: Set the minimum number of times the price needs to touch but fail to break a zone for it to be considered "strong" and displayed.
Visual Settings: Tailor the appearance of the support/resistance zones by defining separate colors and text size for borders, backgrounds, and zone text.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
The use of this indicator involves inherent risks, and users should employ their own judgment and conduct their own research before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Algos Asia Sweep"Algos Asia Sweep" Indicator is here to help "Asia sweep" traders with statistics and technical analysis.
This indicator includes three main parts:
1. It shows the three major sessions (Asia, London, and New York) as three boxes on the chart, so users can easily find the difference in volume and volatility in each session and use it to take trades with their own strategy.
2. It displays a "statistics table" in the upper-right corner of the chart with information about the breakouts of Asia session highs and lows during the last X days (the number of days used for the calculations can be changed depending on different timeframes and the TradingView edition the user has; it appears in the "session counted" row).
3. It indicates on each day if the Asia session high/low has been broken by creating a circle above the first bar that breaks the Asia high and below the first bar that breaks the Asia low. In addition, it creates a horizontal line at the last session's Asia low and high if they have not yet been broken.
HOW THE CALCULATIONS WORK?
Every day, the script finds each session's high and low. The script counts the number of Asia sessions that have occurred since it started working, and on each day, it identifies if the Asia session high/low/both have been broken. At the end, the indicator divides the number of times the Asia session high/low/both have been broken by the number of sessions executed.
-The indicator is set to GMT+3. Change it to your timezone.

Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.

Pivot Points Level [TradingFinder] 4 Methods + Reversal lines🔵 Introduction
"Pivot Points" are places on the price chart where buyers and sellers are most active. Pivot points are calculated based on the previous day's price data and serve as reference points for traders to make decisions.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🟣 Floor Pivot Points
Floor pivot points are widely used in technical analysis. The central pivot point (PP) serves as the main level of support or resistance, indicating the potential direction of the trend.
The first to third levels of resistance (R1, R2, R3) and support (S1, S2, S3) provide additional signals for potential trend reversals or continuations.
Floor Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
Third Resistance (R3): H + 2 * (P - L)
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
Third Support (S3): L - 2 * (H - P)
🟣 Camarilla Pivot Points
Camarilla pivot points include eight levels that closely align with support and resistance. These points are particularly useful for setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Camarilla Pivot Points Formula :
Fourth Resistance (R4): (H - L) * 1.1 / 2 + C
Third Resistance (R3): (H - L) * 1.1 / 4 + C
Second Resistance (R2): (H - L) * 1.1 / 6 + C
First Resistance (R1): (H - L) * 1.1 / 12 + C
First Support (S1): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 12
Second Support (S2): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 6
Third Support (S3): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 4
Fourth Support (S4): C - (H - L) * 1.1 / 2
🟣 Woodie Pivot Points
Woodie pivot points are similar to floor pivot points but place more emphasis on the closing price. This method often results in different pivot levels than the floor method.
Woodie Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + 2 * C) / 4
First Resistance (R1): (2 * P) - L
Second Resistance (R2): P + H - L
First Support (S1): (2 * P) - H
Second Support (S2): P - H + L
🟣 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points use the standard floor pivot points and then apply Fibonacci retracement levels to the range of the previous trading period. The common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Fibonacci Pivot Points Formula :
Pivot Point (PP): (H + L + C) / 3
Third Resistance (R3): PP + ((H - L) * 1.000)
Second Resistance (R2): PP + ((H - L) * 0.618)
First Resistance (R1): PP + ((H - L) * 0.382)
First Support (S1): PP - ((H - L) * 0.382)
Second Support (S2): PP - ((H - L) * 0.618)
Third Support (S3): PP - ((H - L) * 1.000)
These pivot point calculations help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, enabling more informed decision-making in their trading strategies.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Two Methods for Trading Pivot Points
There are two primary methods for trading pivot points: trading with "pivot point breakouts" and trading with "price reversals."
🟣 Pivot Point Breakout
A breakout through pivot lines provides a significant signal to the trader, indicating a change in market sentiment. When an upward breakout occurs and the price crosses these lines, a trader can enter a long position and place their stop-loss below the pivot point (P).
Similarly, if a downward breakout happens, a short order can be placed below the pivot point.
When trading with pivot point breakouts, if the upward trend breaks, the first and second support levels can be the trader's profit targets. In a downward trend, the first and second resistance levels will serve this role.
🟣 Price Reversal
Another method for trading pivot points is waiting for the price to reverse from the support and resistance levels. To execute this strategy, one should trade in the opposite direction of the trend as the price reverses from the pivot point.
It's worth noting that although traders use this tool in higher time frames, it yields better results in shorter time frames such as one-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Fundur - Easy ZonesFundur Easy Zones Trading Indicator
The Fundur Easy Zones trading indicator is designed to simplify market analysis by visually marking critical trading zones. This tool helps traders identify optimal buy and sell areas based on historical price action, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
Calculation Methodology
The Easy Zones indicator employs pivot point calculations combined with price action analysis and the Average True Range (ATR) to determine key trading zones. These zones are calculated by analyzing market volatility and price movements within each timeframe, allowing the identification of significant discount and premium levels.
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot points based on the average of high, low, and close prices from previous periods. These pivot points serve as the foundational levels from which discount and premium zones are derived.
Price Action Analysis: Historical price data is scrutinized to identify patterns and behaviors that signify potential reversal points. This analysis helps in pinpointing zones where the market is likely to experience significant support (discount) or resistance (premium).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is used to measure market volatility. By incorporating ATR into the calculations, the indicator adjusts the zone boundaries to reflect current market conditions, ensuring that the zones remain relevant and accurate. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility and wider zones, while lower ATR values result in narrower zones.
Discount and Premium Levels: Based on the pivot points and ATR, the indicator calculates various tiers of discount and premium levels. These tiers (D1, D2, D3 for discounts and P1, P2, P3 for premiums) represent increasing levels of price deviation from the mean, providing traders with clear entry and exit points.
Features Overview
Zones Settings:
Zones History Length: Adjust the number of historical zones displayed on the chart to analyze past price behavior.
Levels Line Width: Customize the thickness of the zone lines for better visibility.
Structure Settings:
Show Fair Value: Display the fair value zone, providing a visual reference for equilibrium price levels. The fair value is calculated based on the median price over the selected period.
DP (Discount and Premium) Settings:
Enable Discount and Premium Levels: Activate the display of critical buy (discount) and sell (premium) zones. These zones are determined using price deviation analysis from the mean, identifying significant discount (support) and premium (resistance) levels.
Tiered Levels: Visualize up to three levels of discount and premium zones, each with specific target prices (TP1, TP2, TP3), representing different levels of price deviation significance.
Highlight Buy and Sell Zones:
Enable Background: Highlight the background of buy and sell zones for enhanced clarity.
Label Settings:
Enable All Labels: Ensure all labels are visible for quick reference.
Show Descriptive Title: Display titles for each zone, making it easier to understand the context.
Show Take Profit Targets (TP): Clearly mark take profit targets within each zone.
Show Price: Display price levels for each zone for precise entry and exit points.
Symbols Settings:
Fair Value, Premium, and Discount Indicators: Customize symbols to represent gaining or losing fair value, premium, and discount levels, enhancing visual cues for market sentiment.
How to Use the Easy Zones Indicator
Identifying Entry Points:
Use the Discount Zones to identify optimal buy areas. The levels (D1, D2, D3) represent increasing levels of discount, with D1 being the least discounted and D3 the most.
Place buy orders at or near these zones to take advantage of potential price reversals.
Identifying Exit Points:
Use the Premium Zones to identify optimal sell areas. The levels (P1, P2, P3) represent increasing levels of premium, with P1 being the least and P3 the highest.
Place sell orders at or near these zones to maximize profits on upward price movements.
Using Fair Value:
The Fair Value Zone provides a balanced price level where the market is likely to return. Use this as a reference point for setting realistic entry and exit targets.
Strategic Planning:
Combine Discount and Premium Zones with the Fair Value Zone to create a strategic trading plan.
Monitor the zones for price reactions and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Best Practices
Historical Analysis:
Regularly review historical price actions within the marked zones to understand market behavior.
Customization:
Adjust the settings to suit your trading style and market conditions. Experiment with different zone lengths and line widths for optimal clarity.
Risk Management:
Always use stop-loss orders in conjunction with the identified zones to manage risk effectively.
By integrating the Fundur Easy Zones indicator into your trading strategy, you can enhance your market analysis, make more informed decisions, and ultimately improve your trading performance.
ACD Indicator [TradingFinder] M Fisher Pivots Methodology Signal🔵 Introduction
The book "The Logical Trader" begins with a comprehensive review of the ACD Methodology principles, which include identifying specific price points related to the opening range.
This method allows you to set reference points for trading and use points "A" and "C" for trade entry. You will also learn about the "Pivot Range" and how to combine them with the ACD method to maximize position size and minimize risk.
In this indicator, the strategy is implemented to make it easier to use.
🔵 How to Use
The "ACD" strategy can be applied to various markets such as stocks, commodities, or forex, providing buy and sell signals that allow you to set your price targets and stop losses.
This strategy is based on the assumption that the opening range of trades is statistically significant each day, meaning the initial market fluctuations influence the market until the end of the day.
The ACD trading strategy is known as a breakout strategy and performs best in volatile or strongly trending markets, such as crude oil and stocks.
Some of the rules for using the ACD strategy include the following :
Consider points A and C as reference points and continuously pay attention to these points during trades. These points serve as entry and exit points for trades.
Examine daily and multi-day pivot ranges to analyze market trends. If the price is above the pivots, the trend is upward, and if below the pivots, the trend is downward.
Trading with the ACD strategy in forex is possible using the ACD indicator. This indicator is a technical tool used to measure the balance between supply and demand in the market. By analyzing trading volume and price, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength and suitable entry and exit points.
To use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying strong trends: The ACD indicator can help you identify strong and stable trends in the market.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD provides buy and sell signals to enter or exit trades at the best possible time.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is below the "A down" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is above the "A up" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.

ICT Turtle Soup | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT "Turtle Soup" model. The strategy has 5 steps for execution which are described in this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Turtle Soup Strategy
Adaptive Entry Method
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Turtle Soup strategy may have different implementations depending on the selected method of the trader. This indicator's implementation is described as :
1. Mark higher timerame liquidity zones.
Liquidity zones are where a lot of market orders sit in the chart. They are usually formed from the long / short position holders' "liquidity" levels. There are various ways to find them, most common one being drawing them on the latest high & low pivot points in the chart, which this indicator does.
2. Mark current timeframe market structure.
The market structure is the current flow of the market. It tells you if the market is trending right now, and the way it's trending towards. It's formed from swing higs, swing lows and support / resistance levels.
3. Wait for market to make a liquidity grab on the higher timeframe liquidity zone.
A liquidity grab is when the marked liquidity zones have a false breakout, which means that it gets broken for a brief amount of time, but then price falls back to it's previous position.
4. Buyside liquidity grabs are "Short" entries and Sellside liquidity grabs are "Long" entries by default.
5. Wait for the market-structure shift in the current timeframe for entry confirmation.
A market-structure shift happens when the current market structure changes, usually when a new swing high / swing low is formed. This indicator uses it as a confirmation for position entry as it gives an insight of the new trend of the market.
6. Place Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels according to the risk ratio.
This indicator uses "Average True Range" when placing the stop-loss & take-profit levels. Average True Range calculates the average size of a candle and the indicator places the stop-loss level using ATR times the risk setting determined by the user, then places the take-profit level trying to keep a minimum of 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Turtle Soup concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to look for liquidity grabs. This timeframe setting must be higher than the current chart's timeframe for the indicator to work.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
Entry Method ->
"Classic" : Works as described on the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
"Adaptive" : When "Adaptive" is selected, the entry conditions may chance depending on the current performance of the indicator. It saves the entry conditions and the performance of the past entries, then for the new entries it checks if it predicted the liquidity grabs correctly with the current setup, if so, continues with the same logic. If not, it changes behaviour to reverse the entries from long / short to short / long.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size
🔹 DOM
DOM: Enable/Disable DOM display
Realtime only: Enable/Disable real-time data only, historical data will be collected if disabled
Top Price: Specify the price to be displayed on the top row, set to 0 to enable dynamic DOM
Max updates: Specify how many times the values on the SELL and BUY columns are accumulated until reset.
Profile/Depth size: Maximum size of the histograms on the PROFILE and DEPTH columns.
Profile: Enable/Disable Profile column. High impact on performance.
Volume: Enable/Disable Volume column. Total volume traded at price level.
Interlevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Interlevel Imbalance column. Total volume delta between the current price level and the price level above. High impact on performance.
Depth: Enable/Disable Depth, showing the cumulative supply above the current price and the cumulative demand below. Impact on performance.
Intralevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Intralevel Imbalance column. Delta between total buy volume and total sell volume. High impact on performance.
Buying Pressure Percent: Enable/Disable Buy Percent column. Percentage of total buy volume compared to total volume.
Imbalance Threshold %: Threshold for highlighting imbalances. Set to 90 to highlight the top 10% of interlevel imbalances and the top and bottom 10% of intra-level imbalances.
Crypto volume precision: Specify the number of decimals to display on the volume of crypto assets
🔹 Key Levels
Key Levels: Enable/Disable KEY column. Very high performance impact.
Previous Week: Enable/Disable High, Low, Middle, and Close of the previous trading week.
Previous Day: Enable/Disable High, Low, Middle, and Settlement of the previous trading day.
Current Day/Session: Enable/Disable Open, High, Low and Middle of the current period.
Open Range: Enable/Disable High and Low of the first candle of the period.
Initial Balance: Enable/Disable High and Low of the first hour of the period.
VWAP: Enable/Disable Volume-weighted average price of the period with 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations.

CPR By Ask Dinesh Kumar(ADK)Simple CPR Indicator to increase probability of profitable trades:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a trading tool used by traders to identify potential support and resistance levels in the market. Here's a simplified explanation of how traders can potentially profit using the Central Pivot Range with 10 lines:
1. *Understanding CPR*: CPR consists of three lines: the pivot point (PP), upper resistance level (R1), and lower support level (S1). Additionally, traders often add five more of profitable tradeslines above and below the PP to create a 10-line CPR.
2. *Identify Trend*: Determine the prevailing market trend. If the market is bullish, traders will look for buying opportunities near support levels. If the market is bearish, they'll seek selling opportunities near resistance levels.
3. *Entry Points*: Look for entry points near the support (S1) or resistance (R1) levels within the CPR. These levels can act as potential turning points where price may reverse.
4. *Risk Management*: Set stop-loss orders to manage risk. Stop-loss orders should be placed slightly below support levels for long positions and slightly above resistance levels for short positions.
5. *Profit Targets*: Determine profit targets based on the distance between entry point and the next support or resistance level. Some traders use a risk-reward ratio to ensure potential profits outweigh potential losses.
6. *Confirmation*: Use additional technical indicators or price action patterns to confirm potential entry or exit points within the CPR.
7. *Monitor Price Action*: Continuously monitor price action around the CPR levels. Traders should be prepared to adjust their positions if price breaks through support or resistance levels convincingly.
8. *Trade Management*: Once in a trade, actively manage it by adjusting stop-loss orders, trailing stops, or taking partial profits as price moves in the desired direction.
9. *Market Conditions*: Consider broader market conditions, such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, or news releases, which can impact price movements and the effectiveness of CPR.
10. *Practice and Analysis*: Practice using CPR on historical price charts and analyze past trades to refine strategies and improve decision-making skills.
Remember, trading involves risks, and no strategy guarantees profits. It's essential to thoroughly understand the concepts behind CPR and practice disciplined risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades.
How does central pivot range work:
Sure here's a concise explanation of how the Central Pivot Range (CPR) works in 10 points:
1. *Calculation*: CPR is calculated using the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices.
2. *Pivot Point (PP)*: The central point of CPR is the average of the previous day's high, low, and close prices: PP = (H + L + C) / 3.
3. *Upper Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3)*: These are potential price levels above the pivot point where resistance may occur. They are calculated by adding a multiple of the range (H - L) to the pivot point: R1 = (2 * PP) - L, R2 = PP + (H - L), R3 = PP + 2 * (H - L).
4. *Lower Support Levels (S1, S2, S3)*: These are potential price levels below the pivot point where support may occur. They are calculated similarly to resistance levels but subtracting multiples of the range from the pivot point: S1 = (2 * PP) - H, S2 = PP - (H - L), S3 = PP - 2 * (H - L).
5. *Trading Signals*: Traders use CPR to identify potential support and resistance levels where price may reverse or stall.
6. *Range Bound Markets*: In range-bound markets, traders may buy near support levels (S1, S2, S3) and sell near resistance levels (R1, R2, R3).
7. *Breakout Trading*: When price breaks through a CPR level convincingly, it may indicate a potential trend continuation or reversal, providing breakout trading opportunities.
8. *Volume and Momentum*: Traders often look for confirmation from volume and momentum indicators when price approaches CPR levels.
9. *Intraday Trading*: CPR can be applied to intraday timeframes as well, providing shorter-term traders with potential trading levels for the day.
10. *Dynamic Indicator*: CPR is dynamic and recalculates daily based on new price data, allowing traders to adapt their strategies to current market conditions.
Understanding how to interpret CPR levels and integrate them into a trading strategy can help traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
Intraday CPR with Previous Highs and Lows and Swing Highs/LowsThis Pine Script indicator plots the Central Pivot Range (CPR) for the current trading day along with previous day's high (PDH), low (PDL), and swing high/low (Swing H/L) values.

Previous Day and Two Days Back Values:
Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL): Plots the high and low of the previous trading day.
Two Days Back High and Low: Plots the high and low from two trading days ago.
Previous Day Swing High/Low: The highest high and lowest low from a specified period (swing period) of the previous trading day.
Two Days Back Swing High/Low: The highest high and lowest low from a specified period (swing period) of two trading days ago.
Pivot Points ++The Pivot Points is a classical indicator that aims to assess the Location in which a market is trading and infer hints about its directional movement. Its concept idea has been evolving along the XX century, tracing back to traders like Jesse Livermore, Nicholas Darvis, William O’Neil and Mark Minervini.
This is a Leading Indicator which computes a series of key levels that might act as Support and Resistance over the selected time frame period.
This version of the Pivot Points delivers a convenient way to visualize its information. It’s been designed for it to be useful to a variety of trading styles: from the ones that use it to detect reversal points, to the ones that gauge the market at a single glance.
HOW TO READ THE PIVOT POINTS
Pivot Points set a series of price levels which remain constant through the time period (which could be: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or multi-yearly).
At the beginning of a new time period, it calculates the main Pivot Point Level (PP), and depending on the type, it can compute up to 5 Support Levels (S1 to S5) and 5 Resistance Levels (R1 to R5).
Being such a universal indicator, there exist many ways of reading the Pivot Levels. Now, let’s see some common uses of the indicator.
Warning: Please don’t rely on a single indicator to make your trading decisions, but rather integrate it into a coherent system combining it with complementary signals.
Support and Resistance : This is a straightforward approach. Each Pivot Level may act as Support or Resistance. For instance the level S1 initially behaves as Support. As price gets closer, one may observe that the level is being respected and price bounces around the level. Or in case it would get broken, then it would automatically shift its role into a Resistance Level.
Mood Gauge : One can quickly gauge the mood of the market by seeing where price stands in relation to the Main Pivot Point Level (PP). Above the Pivot point is generally interpreted as bullish, whilst standing below implies a bearish tone.
Stop Loss and Profit Levels : When entering on a trade, one can use the Pivot Levels to set the Stop Loss behind it, or set the Take Profit in an area surrounding it.
Agreement with Fibonacci Retracements or Expansions : One can combine the power of these 2 leading indicators in search for Agreement areas where to find both a significant Pivot Level and a Relevant Fibonacci Level.
Volume or Volatility Squeezes : Some traders focus on the Pivot Levels in combination with Volume or Volatility readings, in order to anticipate turning points or continuation legs.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
Pivot Points ++ has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Display up to 9 sets of Pivot Points simultaneously
Long term view: As an analyst and as a trader, being able to display many sets of Pivot Points simultaneously is of great advantage when assessing long term views on the market.
Pivot Levels clearly Identified: Each set of Pivot Points get clearly identified with a prefaced letter indicating its time frame, i.e. Yearly Pivot Point appears as YPP and Monthly Pivot Resistance 1 appears as MR1 .
Minimalistic coloring: The Main Pivot Levels are highlighted in color to stand out, yet the intention of the indicator is to be as minimalistic and keep the chart as clean as possible.
Display Pivots as a Panel
Panel View: Display the Pivot Points’ information in the way that better suits your charting style. In addition to displaying the lines over the price chart, the indicator allows displaying the data on a Panel. The Panel view can be used together with the Line view, or it can be used in isolation.
Fully customizable: Its location, size and its design parameters can be customized through the Settings tab.
Common sense formatting: It displays a column for each of the selected time frames, and a row for each of the selected Pivot Levels. When a Pivot Level displays in colors, it means that price is currently trading above (green) or below (red) that level. Moreover, when the current price is trading just near the Pivot Level, the color shifts to Dark Red when it’s acting as a Resistance, and Dark Green when it acts as Support.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same Pivot Points.
The chart on the left contributes to a more minimalistic display of information, as for when a trader wishes to quickly check where the price is trading in relation to the Pivot Points. Moreover, the chart on the right has the advantage to display clearly the Reversals and Price Reactions in relation to the Pivot Points. The decision is yours.
Show only Pivots Relevant to the Current Time Frame
The sets of Pivot Points belonging to time frames Below or Near the current Time Frame get hidden to prevent overcrowding the chart with lines. Nevertheless, this feature can be disabled through the Settings tab.
These are the preset Time Frames:
Intraday/Scalping: Those operating on time frames below 1H will be able to see the whole range of Pivot Levels.
1H: Traders operating on 1-Hour Charts display Pivots from Weekly and above. Daily Pivot Points get hidden.
4H: On 4-Hour Charts, Monthly Pivots and above get displayed. Weekly Pivot Points get hidden.
D: On Daily Charts, Quarterly Pivots and above get displayed. Monthly Pivot Points get hidden.
W: On Weekly Charts, Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Quarterly Pivot Points get hidden.
M: On Monthly Charts, Tri-Yearly Pivots and above get displayed. Yearly and Bi-Yearly Pivot Points get hidden.
3M and 12M: Above Monthly Charts, only Decennial Pivots get displayed. All the rest get hidden.
Good Looking right off the box
It looks good: The indicator will look just fine on most of the charts. It displays well on dark themed charts and on light themed charts. No need to mess up with the coloring of the indicator for it to display properly.
Fully customizable: Nevertheless, you can easily override the defaults and customize the Colors and Line Styles for each Pivot Level.
Displays True on Heikin Ashi Charts
That’s good news for scalpers, because Pivot Points get computed correctly even when being displayed over Heiken Ashi charts.

🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to your favorites. Customize settings like profile type, lookback period, and resolution to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis: Use the profile to identify areas of high buying or selling pressure. In "Comparison" mode, look for significant volume differences; in "Net Order Flow" mode, focus on net volume changes. Additionally, you can use the activity heatmap to find key levels that can act as support and resistance as price is likely to react to the zones as indicated by the heatmap.
How it Works:
The indicator operates by first gathering data on high and low prices, as well as buy and sell volumes, over a user-defined lookback period. It then calculates the maximum and minimum prices during this period and divides this range into bins based on the chosen resolution. For each bin, it computes the total volume of buy and sell orders. In "Comparison" mode, it displays side-by-side boxes representing buy and sell volumes, while in "Net Order Flow" mode, it shows the net volume difference. The indicator visually presents these profiles on the chart with customizable colors, transparency levels, and the option to display a heatmap for enhanced volume activity insights.

Swing High/Low & EMA Cross AlertScript Description:
This script on TradingView combines the detection of Swing High/Low points with exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers to provide buy and sell alerts and to mark swing points on the chart.
What the Script Does:
Swing High/Low Detection:
Uses the ta.pivothigh function to detect significant high points and the ta.pivotlow function to detect significant low points.
For each detected point, the script checks if it is a new higher high (HH) or lower high (LH) for the highs, and a new lower low (LL) or higher low (HL) for the lows.
Creates visual labels to identify these points on the chart, helping traders to visualize potential reversal points.
EMA Crossover:
Calculates two EMAs: a fast EMA (fastEMA) with a default period of 50 and a slow EMA (slowEMA) with a default period of 200.
Detects bullish crossovers (when fastEMA crosses above slowEMA) and bearish crossunders (when fastEMA crosses below slowEMA).
Generates buy and sell alerts based on these crossovers.
How the Script Works:
EMA Calculation: EMAs are calculated using the closing prices and user-defined periods.
Swing High/Low Detection: Uses the high and low values from the previous length bars to determine the swing points.
Alert Generation: Alerts are triggered when crossovers between the EMAs occur.
How to Use the Script:
Add to Chart: Insert the script into TradingView and apply it to the desired chart.
Configure Parameters:
Adjust the detection period for swing points (length).
Configure the periods for the EMAs (fastLen and slowLen).
Customize the colors for the swing point labels as per your preference.
Monitor Alerts: Use the EMA crossover alerts to make buy or sell decisions. Observe the swing point labels to identify potential trend reversals.
Justification for the Combination:
EMAs: Widely used to identify trend direction. Combining a fast EMA with a slow EMA helps capture both short-term and long-term trend changes.
Swing High/Low: Identifies reversal points in price, which are crucial for determining potential entry and exit points in trades.
Combination:
Combining EMAs and Swing High/Low provides a comprehensive view of price behavior, helping traders to effectively identify trends and reversal points.
This script is useful for traders who want to combine trend analysis (via EMAs) with the identification of reversal points (Swing High/Low), providing a more complete view of price behavior on the chart.
Support and Resistance [CryptoSea]The Support and Resistance Indicator is a powerful tool developed by CryptoSea for traders seeking to identify key market levels with precision. This script leverages advanced pivot and volume analysis to highlight support and resistance zones on the price chart.
Key Features
Multi-Source Pivot Analysis: Choose between wicks or body prices for calculating pivot points, providing flexibility in market analysis.
Volume Spike Detection: Automatically identifies volume spikes using a customizable threshold multiplier, enhancing the accuracy of support and resistance levels.
Dynamic Box Display: Configurable options for extending and graying out boxes based on price interaction, ensuring a clear visual representation of active and invalidated zones.
In the example below, we see a resistance box formed based on wick highs and a volume spike. The box extends to where we see price rejecting from it. In the settings you can change this so the box will stop if price touches it if you prefer.
How it Works
Pivot Point Calculation: The script determines pivot highs and lows using either wicks or body prices over a specified term (Short, Medium, Long), corresponding to 5, 15, or 30 bars.
Volume Analysis: Calculates average volume over twice the pivot length and identifies volume spikes exceeding the user-defined threshold, crucial for confirming support and resistance levels.
Box Management: Maintains arrays of support and resistance boxes, limiting the number based on user settings (All, Recent Few, Recent Several).
Settings Explained
Source: Choose between 'Wicks' or 'Bodies' to determine whether pivot points are calculated using candle wicks or body prices.
Pivot Term: Select 'Short' (5 bars), 'Medium' (15 bars), or 'Long' (30 bars) to adjust the distance for pivot calculation. Longer terms take more bars to confirm support/resistance.
Volume Threshold (multiplier): Set a multiplier of average volume to detect volume spikes, essential for validating support/resistance levels.
Extend Until Price Hits: Enable this to extend support/resistance boxes until the price touches them, providing dynamic levels.
Gray Out Boxes Once Hit: Enable this to gray out the boxes once the price interacts with them, indicating that they are no longer active.
Max Boxes Displayed: Choose 'All', 'Recent Few' (up to 3 boxes each for bull and bear), or 'Recent Several' (up to 10 boxes each for bull and bear) to control the number of visible boxes.
Invalidate Condition: Select 'Touch' to invalidate a box when the price touches it or 'Through' to invalidate when the price passes entirely through the box.
Candle Colors: Option to color candles based on neutral, bullish, or bearish conditions for easier visual analysis.
Application
Strategic Planning: Assists traders in pinpointing potential entry and exit points by marking significant support and resistance zones.
Trend Confirmation: Validates trend strength and potential reversals with volume-based analysis of support and resistance levels.
Customizable Settings: Tailors analysis to various trading strategies with extensive input settings for pivot source, term, volume threshold, and display preferences.
The Support and Resistance Indicator by is an essential addition to any trader’s toolkit, offering robust and customizable market level analysis for improved trading decisions.
