🚩UNIQUENESS
Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, so you can plann your trades accordingly. This indicator lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs, provide retest & breakout labels, with customized styling and alerts.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a zone is plotted.
These zones usually indicate areas of high market interest where price action may reverse or accelerate. Identifying these zones can provide traders with critical levels for entering or exiting trades. A breakout of these zones generally mean strong movements are inbound, while failing breakouts make these zones act like support / resistance zones.
The indicator also reverses the type of the zone after an invalidation (can be turned off from the settings). This feature helps traders identify potential reversals more accurately.
The zone width is set to the area from the wick to the body of the candlestick, which can be seen here :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Liquidity Grab Zone Invalidation.
Use these customizable settings to fine-tune the indicator according to your trading strategy and preferences.

TMB LevelsDescription:
Improved "Hourly Midline" indicator. It displays high, middle and low levels of every candle with specified timeframe (can be hourly, daily, or any other timeframe). You can change the source for the levels (either high and low of candle, or open and close of candle). Additionally, you can turn on the "Line chart", which essentially connects every midline, making a line chart of middle prices.
Parameters:
- Timeframe -> use data from this timeframe ("30" would mean 30 minutes, "60" would mean 1 hour, etc.)
- Source -> source for calculating the middle level
- Top -> parameters of the top level lines
- Middle -> parameters of the middle level lines
- Bottom -> parameters of the bottom level lines
- Line chart -> connect every midline, making a line chart
CPR by MTThe CPR indicator, or Central Pivot Range indicator, is a technical analysis tool used in trading to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the price action of a security. Developed by pivot point theory, it is particularly popular among day traders and swing traders. The CPR indicator consists of three lines:
1. **Pivot Point (PP):** This is the central line and is calculated as the average of the high, low, and closing prices from the previous trading period.
\
2. **Top Central Pivot (TC):** This is calculated by subtracting the low from the PP and then adding the result to the PP.
\
3. **Bottom Central Pivot (BC):** This is calculated by subtracting the high from the PP and then adding the result to the PP.
\
### How to Use the CPR Indicator
- **Trend Identification:** A wide CPR range indicates low volatility and a potential sideways or consolidation phase. A narrow CPR range indicates high volatility and a potential strong trending move.
- **Support and Resistance:** The top and bottom central pivots act as immediate resistance and support levels. If the price is above the TC, it indicates a bullish sentiment, while if it is below the BC, it indicates a bearish sentiment.
- **Entry and Exit Points:** Traders use the CPR lines to determine optimal entry and exit points. For example, if the price breaks above the TC and sustains, it may signal a buy opportunity, whereas a drop below the BC may signal a sell opportunity.
### Practical Example
Suppose a stock had a high of $105, a low of $95, and a closing price of $100 on the previous day. The CPR levels for the next day would be calculated as follows:
1. **Pivot Point (PP):**
\
2. **Top Central Pivot (TC):**
\
3. **Bottom Central Pivot (BC):**
\
The levels for the next day would be PP = $100, TC = $110, and BC = $90. Traders would then use these levels to assess potential trading strategies based on where the price moves relative to these levels.
### Conclusion
The CPR indicator is a useful tool for traders looking to understand market conditions and make informed decisions about entry and exit points. Its effectiveness comes from its ability to highlight key price levels derived from historical price data, helping traders predict potential market movements.

MarketRangerThis indicator puts a selection of elements together providing traders with insights into price dynamics, trend changes, and potential trading opportunities within the specified timeframe.
Trading Range Defined by Support and Resistance :
Support and resistance levels are calculated using the lowest low and highest high over specified periods.
These
levels define the boundaries of the trading range within which the price moves.
WMA Color Changing based on Slope :
The script uses three Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs) with different lengths.
The color of the main WMA changes based on its slope.
When the slope of the WMA is positive (indicating an uptrend), it's displayed in blue. When it's
negative (indicating a downtrend), it's displayed in pink.
New High/Low Detection :
The script detects new highs and lows in the price action.
A new high is detected when the current high crosses under the previous resistance level, and a new low is detected when the current low crosses over the previous support level.
These
detections are marked by triangle shapes above or below the bars.
WMA Crosses :
The script calculates the difference between the two WMAs.
When the faster WMA crosses above the slower WMA, indicating a potential bullish signal, a blue cross shape is plotted below the bar.
When the faster WMA crosses below the slower WMA, indicating a potential bearish signal, a
pink cross shape is plotted above the bar.
Slope Changes :
The script calculates the slope of the main WMA and tracks changes in slope.
A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.
Slope changes from negative to positive indicate potential bullish momentum, and from
positive to negative indicate potential bearish momentum.
Customizable Pivot Levels :
Pivot levels are calculated based on user-defined percentages of the range between support and resistance.
Pivot Level 1 and Pivot Level 2 provide additional reference points for potential reversals or trend continuation.
Usage :
The indicator provides support and resistance levels, new high/low alerts, and WMA crosses.
The midpoint and customizable pivot levels offer potential trading zones.
Slope change points indicate potential shifts in market sentiment.
Customize the pivot levels according to your trading strategy.
Parameters :
Adjust the WMA lengths and support/resistance lengths to suit your trading style.
Modify the visibility settings to control how many periods of support and resistance are displayed.
Customize the pivot levels to fit your preferred trading strategy.

OrderFlow [Probabilities] | FractalystWhat's the indicator's purpose and functionality?
The indicator is designed to incorporate probabilities with buyside and sellside liquidity, as well as premium and discount ranges within the market. It also provides traders with a multi-timeframe functionality for observing liquidity levels and probabilities across two timeframes without the need to manually switch between them.
These levels are often used in smart money trading concepts for identifying key areas of interest, such as potential reversal points, areas of accumulation or distribution, and zones of high liquidity.
----
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside , Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
----
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
Enabling and selecting a higher timeframe in the indicator's user-input settings allows you to access not only the current range information but also the liquidity sides, status, price levels, and probabilities of a higher timeframe without needing to switch between timeframes and mark up the levels manually.
----
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and requests the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
Non-repainting Security Function with Lookahead ON
//Function to fetch data for a given timeframe
getHTFData(timeframe_,exp_) =>
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe_,exp_ ,lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on)
----
How to use the indicator?
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Choose the pair you want to analyze/trade.
3. Enable the HTF in user-input settings and choose a timeframe as for your higher timeframe bias.
4. (Important) : Ensure that the probabilities on both timeframes are aligned in one direction. If not, switch between timeframes until you find a pair of timeframes that are in line with each other and have higher probabilities on one liquidity side.
For Swing traders:
Use Hourly timeframes (1H/2H/4H/8H/12H) as your current timeframe and 1D/3D/1W/2W for your higher timeframe (HTF).
Entry: Hourly Equilibrium level. (Limit order)
Stoploss: Place it on the side where the probability is lower than 50%.
Break-even level/TP1: Hourly breakout of the liquidity.
TP2: Target the Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity level where the probability is higher than 50%.
2H/1D COINBASE:BTCUSD
For Day traders:
Use minutely timeframes (5m/15m/30m) as your current timeframe and 1H/2H/4H/8H/12H for your higher timeframe (HTF).
Entry: Minutely Equilibrium level. (Limit order)
Stoploss: Place it on the side where the probability is lower than 50%.
Break-even level/TP1: Minutely breakout of the liquidity.
TP2: Target the Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity level where the probability is higher than 50%.
1H/5m COINBASE:BTCUSD

User-input settings and customizations
----
What makes this indicator original?
1. Real-time calculation of probabilities directly on your charts.
2. Multi-timeframe functionality, enabling effortless observation of liquidity levels and probabilities across two timeframes.
3. Status label for clear identification of whether price has reached equilibrium.
4. All levels are updated only upon candle closure above or below liquidity levels, ensuring it remains a non-repainting indicator.

Liquidations [ChartPrime]Liquidations Indicator:
The Liquidations indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify significant liquidation levels in financial markets. By analyzing volume data over a specified lookback period, the indicator highlights potential areas where market participants with high leverage positions may face liquidation, providing valuable insights into market dynamics.
Usage:
Traders can use the Liquidations indicator to:
◈ Identify liquidity grab opportunities: Liquidation levels often attract price action as market participants with leveraged positions face the risk of forced liquidation. Traders can anticipate price movements as the market aims to trigger these stops, potentially leading to rapid price movements or reversals.
◈ Confirm trend strength: A cluster of liquidation levels in the same direction as the prevailing trend may confirm the strength of the trend, while divergences between liquidation levels and price movements may signal potential trend reversals.
Settings:
◈ Previous Value Bars Back: Specifies the number of previous bars used in calculating the liquidation levels.
◈ Show Leverage: Allows users to selectively display liquidation levels for different leverage multiples, including 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
◈ Liquidation Levels Width: Sets the width of the lines representing liquidation levels on the chart.
◈ Short Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing short liquidation levels.
◈ Long Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing long liquidation levels.
◈ Bar Color: Sets the color of the background bar when the indicator is active.
Visual Representation:
◈ Liquidation levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, with different colors representing short and long liquidation levels.
◈ Each liquidation level is labeled with the corresponding leverage multiple (e.g., 5x, 10x, etc.).
A dashboard displays the active liquidation levels for each leverage multiple, allowing traders to quickly assess the current market conditions.
◈ Time Window allows users to cut off unnecessary part of the chart and concentrate on a current active part of the chart to make better trading decisions:
Interpretation:
Market participants tend to place stop-loss orders near liquidation levels , creating clusters of pending orders. As price approaches these levels, it may trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders, providing liquidity for market orders and potentially leading to rapid price movements in the opposite direction.
Traders can anticipate price reversals or accelerations as price interacts with liquidation levels, using them as reference points for identifying potential entry or exit opportunities.
Note:
While the Liquidations indicator provides valuable insights into market dynamics, traders should use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Futures Auto Levels [NariCapitalTrading]Futures Auto Levels Indicator
Introduction
The "Futures Auto Levels" (FAL) indicator shows the previous day's levels, weekly open, high, low, and the Initial Balance Range (IBR).
Indicator Components
The FAL indicator comprises the following components:
Previous Day's Levels: These include the open, high, low, and close of the previous trading day. They are represented on the chart by lines and labels, helping to identify significant price levels from the prior session.
Weekly Open, High, Low: These levels represent the open, high, and low prices of the current trading week.
Initial Balance Range (IBR): The IBR is calculated based on the price range during the first 60 minutes of the trading day. It helps identify initial trading range and potential breakout levels.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Previous Day's Levels:
Monitor the previous day's open, high, low, and close to identify key support and resistance levels.
Use these levels to gauge market sentiment and potential price reversals.
2. Weekly Open, High, Low:
Pay attention to the weekly open, high, and low to understand the market's behavior within the weekly timeframe.
These levels can act as reference points for setting profit targets and stop-loss orders.
3. Initial Balance Range (IBR):
Watch for price movements within the IBR to identify potential trading opportunities.
Breakouts above or below the IBR may signal the beginning of a new trend or continuation of the current trend.
Suggested/Potential Strategies
Reversal Trading: Look for price reversals around previous day's levels, especially when they coincide with other technical indicators or significant support/resistance zones.
Trend Following: Follow the trend by trading breakouts above/below the IBR or weekly high/low levels. Use trailing stops to capture profits while the trend remains intact.
Range Trading: Trade within the IBR when the market is consolidating. Buy near the IBR low and sell near the IBR high, with tight stop-loss orders to manage risk.
Conclusion
The Futures Auto Levels indicator is designed to help incorporate levels into trading analysis and trading strategies to improve profitability and consistency.

This indicator is ideal for day traders, swing traders, and technical traders looking to integrate pivot analysis into their trading methodology, offering a robust and customizable tool to enhance market decision-making.
Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection [LuxAlgo]The Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection tool randomly simulates future price points based on historical bar movements made within a user-selected window.
The tool shows potential paths price might take in the future, as well as highlighting potential support/resistance levels.
Note that simulations and their resulting elements are subject to slight changes over time.
🔶 USAGE
By randomly simulating bar movements, a range is developed of potential price action which could be utilized to locate future price development as well as potential support/resistance levels.
Performing a large number of simulations and taking the average at each step will converge toward the result highlighted by the "Average Line", and can point out where the price might develop assuming the trend and amount of volatility persist.
Current closing price + Sum of changes in the calculation window)
This constraint will cause the simulations to always display an endpoint consistent with the current lookback's slope.
While this may be helpful to some traders, this indicator includes an option to produce a less biased range as seen below:
🔶 DETAILS
The Monte Carlo Shuffled Projection tool creates simulations based on the most recent prices within a user-set window. Simulations are done as follows:
Collect each bar's price changes in the user-set window.
Randomize the order of each change in the window.
Project the cumulative sum of the shuffled changes from the current closing price.
Collect data on each point along the way.
This is the process for the Default calculation, for the 'Randomize Direction' calculation, when added onto the front for every other change, the value is inverted, creating the randomized endpoints for each simulation.
The script contains each simulation's data for that bar with a maximum of 1000 simulations.
To get a glimpse behind the scenes each simulation (up to 99) can be viewed using the 'Visualize Simulations' Options as seen below.
Because the script holds the full simulation data, the script can also do calculations on this data, such as calculating standard deviations.
In this script the Standard deviation lines are the average of all standard deviations across the vertical data groups, this provides a singular value that can be displayed a distance away from the simulation center line.
🔶 SETTINGS
Color and Toggle Options are Provided throughout.
Lookback: Sets the number of Bars to include in calculations.
Simulation Count: Sets the number of randomized simulations to calculate. (Max 1000)
Randomize Direction: See Details Above. Creates a more 'Normalized' Distribution
Visualize Simulations: See Details Above. Turns on Visualizations, and colors are randomly generated. Visualized max does not cap the calculated max. If 1000 simulations are used, the data will be from 1000 simulations, however only the last 99 simulations will be visualized.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the Standard Deviation distance away from the center line.
HTF Matrix TableThis is a Higher Time Frame Table like the Intra-Day Table that I also have available.
ICT stresses time and liquidity levels in his teachings. This table helps to easily locate these key Time-based price levels. You can use these levels to determine your directional bias and to help generate your narrative for where the market is going.
This indicator creates a table that gives you the price for the following liquidity levels:
*Price* - Current Price
PMH - Previous Month High
PMO - Previous Month Open
PM MT - Previous Month Mean Threshold (Midpoint of candle body)
(Calculated by:
if pmo > pmc
pm_mt := ((pmo-pmc)/2)+pmc
if pmo < pmc
pm_mt := ((pmc-pmo)/2)+pmo)
PMC - Previous Month Close
PML - Previous Month Low
PWH - Previous Week High
PWO - Previous Week Open
PW MT - Previous Week Mean Threshold (Midpoint of candle body)
Calculated by:
if pwo > pwc
pw_mt := ((pwo-pwc)/2)+pwc
if pwo < pwc
pw_mt := ((pwc-pwo)/2)+pwo)
PWC - Previous Week Close
PWL - Previous Week Low
PDO - Previous Day Open
PDH - Previous Day High
PDL - Previous Day Low
PDC - Previous Day Close
PDEQ - Equilibrium of the previous day's range.
(Calculated by math.abs(((pdh-pdl)/2)+pdl))
PDH2 - Two Days Back High
PDL2 - Two Days Back Low
PDH3 - Three Days Back High
PDL3 - Three Days Back Low
Gives you the opening price for the following times:
Midnight Open
NY Open
Lets you set the time for the Asia and London sessions and will give the high and low for those two sessions.
Asia High
Asia Low
London High
London Low
Ability to hide either the table or lines.
The levels are sorted descending in price in the table, with the background colored based on their relation to price. The prices are also plotted on the chart based on the range you specify in relation to the current price. These lines are also colored based on their relation to price.
This indicator does not give you anything but the price at a specific time, you must determine your own bias and narrative based on the levels that are given.
The indicator runs on the seconds chart.
Pivot Point Target Prices [SS]Hey everyone,
Back with another indicator!
I have been trying to do this indicator for like months (over 6 months). I gave up on it a few times and then finally reapproached it in a different way and was able to get it working successfully!
This is the pivot point target price indicator, let's get into how it works!
How it works:
The indicator keeps track of previous pivot highs and lows within your designated lookback timeframe. Using this data, it calculates the average difference between the pivot highs and pivot lows to give you an ATR range.
In addition to this, it tracks the standard deviation of this range. This allows the indicator to give us 3 price targets, 2 standard deviations below the anticipated target, the anticipated target (middle value) and 2 standard deviations above the anticipated target.
Here is a diagram:
I usually only look for the first target, which is the -2 standard deviation below the actual target, but having the added 2 gives some buffer room if a stock is particularly bullish or bearish.
How to use it:
You use this the same way you would pivot points, the only difference is this will show you target ranges to look for on a pivot low or pivot high.
There is some customizability, which I will explain below:
Customize bars: You have the ability to customize left and right bars for your pivot points. I personally like 15 and 15 but I know the most commonly used are 10 and 10.
ATR Length: The ATR Length is defaulted at 500. If you want to tighten up the length and give more conservative targets, you can shorten to between 75 and 150. If you want to be very aggressive with the targets, you can extend to 750 to 1,000.
Toggle on/off labels: You can choose to turn off the pivot labels if you wish.
Important note:
Many pivot indicators will show you pivot levels and use these as support and resistance. This indicator isn't doing that. Its combining ATR and Pivot Points. The ATR gives us the price targets by calculating the average range between pivot highs and pivot lows, and the pivot points are operating as usual.
And that's the indicator!
I hope you enjoy it, like I said it took me forever to get a functioning version of this, so hope you find it helpful!
Safe trades everyone!
OptiRange | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
This indicator is designed to integrate probabilities with liquidity levels, while also providing a mechanical method for identifying market structure by using Fractals by Williams.
----
How does this indicator identify market structure?
This script identifies breaks of market structure by analyzing candle closures above or below swing levels.
As soon as a candle has closed above or below the initial swing on your charts, the script validates that there is at least one swing preceding the break before confirming it as a structural break.
Once a break is occured then it assigns a numeric ID to the break starting from 1 and draws two extremities: one as liquidity and the other as invalidation (LIQ/INV).
----
What do the extremities show us on the charts?
you'll see two clear extremities on your charts:
1. The first extremity represents the structural liquidity level. (LIQ)
2. The other extremity indicates the level that, if price breaks through it, results in a structural shift to the opposite side. (INV)
----
How does it calculate probabilities?
Each break of market structure, denoted as X, is assigned a unique ID, starting from X1 for the first break, X2 for the second, and so on.
The probabilities are calculated based on breaks holding, meaning price closing through the liquidity level, rather than invalidation. This probability is then divided by the total count of similar numeric breaks.
For example, if 75 out of 100 bullish X1s become X2, then the probability of X1 becoming X2 on your charts will be displayed as 80% in the following format: ⬆ 75%
----
What are the Fractal blocks?
Fractal blocks refer to the most extreme swing candle within the latest break. They can serve as significant levels for price rejection and may guide movements toward the next break, often in confluence with probability analysis for added confirmation.
If the price retraces back to a bullish fractal block, we aim to look for buy/long positions. Conversely, if the price retraces back to a bearish fractal block, we aim to look for sell/short positions.
----
What are mitigations?
Mitigations refer to specific price action occurrences identified by the script:
1- When the price reaches the most recent fractal block and confirms a swing candle, the script automatically draws a line from the swing to the fractal block bar and labels it with a checkmark.
1- If the price wicks through the invalidation level and then retraces back to the fractal block while forming a swing candle, the script labels this as a double mitigation on the chart.
This level will serve as the next potential invalidation level if a break occurs in the same direction.
----
What does the bottom table display?
The bottom table presents numeric breaks across multiple timeframes, with the text color indicating the trend direction. Enabling traders to assess the higher timeframes market trend without needing to switch between timeframes manually.
----
How to use the indicator?
1. Add "OptiRange | Fractalyst" to your TradingView chart.
2. Choose the pair you want to analyze or trade.
3. Start with the 12-month timeframe.
4. Use the table bias with the maximal settings to find the lowest timeframe that’s showing you the mitigation (✓)
5. Confirm that the probability of the current liquidity is higher than 50%.
6. Place your limit order at the Fibonacci level of 0.618 of the mitigation candle.
7. Set your stop-loss at the mitigation level.
8. Determine your take profit based on the liquidity of the current timeframe, or if possible, the liquidity of a higher timeframe in the same direction; otherwise, use the liquidity of the current timeframe.
9. Risk adjustment and Trade management based on your personal preferences.

What makes this indicator original?
- This script leverages Fractals, a fundamental concept in many trading methodologies.
- For a break to be considered valid, price must have at least two swings:
a swing high followed by a swing low for bullish breaks and a swing low follow by a swing high for bearish breaks.
- This means that each swing point is confirmed by the formation of two candles on its left and two candles on its right, totaling 5 candles for each swing high and swing low, thus requiring 10 candles overall. (This strict rule ensures a thorough assessment of market structure before confirming a break.)
- The script assigns a unique numerical ID to each break of structure, starting from 1.
This numbering system enables the script to calculate the probability of the most recent break becoming the next break, while also factoring in the trend direction.
- Additionally, this script provides insights into higher timeframes' break IDs in the bottom/top centre table, keeping traders informed about the overall higher timeframe picture.
- By integrating these methodologies, the script introduces a unique and systematic method for identifying market structure, thereby enhancing its originality in guiding trading decisions.

Red Candles with Green Precedent
**Title**: Red Candles with Green Precedent Indicator
**Description**:
This TradingView indicator is designed to help traders identify potential reversal or continuation patterns based on the appearance of consecutive red candles following a green candle. The script marks a region starting from a green candle that precedes at least four consecutive red candles, extending a box forward for a predefined number of bars to analyze the continuation of the trend.
**Key Features**:
- **Consecutive Red Candles Detection**: The indicator counts consecutive red candles that close lower than they open.
- **Initial Green Candle Identification**: Identifies the last green candle before a series of red candles begins. This green candle must close higher than it opens.
- **Visual Box Extension**: Creates a visual box from the open to the high of the green candle and extends it forward to highlight the period of interest.
- **Dynamic Box Termination**: Optionally terminates the box early if a significant green candle appears within the extension period, suggesting a potential reversal.
**Usage**:
1. **Setup**: Apply the indicator to any chart in TradingView. Adjust the number of consecutive red candles to track based on your trading strategy.
2. **Interpretation**: A visual green box will appear when the criteria are met. This box helps focus on the price action following a potentially significant green candle. Traders should watch for price actions within and around the box to make informed decisions.
3. **Alerts**: Consider setting alerts for when a new box is created or when a significant green candle forms that might terminate the box early, indicating potential market movements.
**Suitable for**: This indicator is suitable for traders looking for visual cues about potential bearish exhaustion or the setup for a bullish reversal, particularly in volatile markets.

Pivot Profit Target [Mxwll]Introducing the Pivot Profit Target!
This script identifies recent pivot highs/lows and calculates the expected minimum distance for the next pivot, which acts as an approximate profit target.
The image above details the indicator's output.
The image above shows a table consisting of projection statistics.
How to use
The Pivot Profit Targets can be used to approximate a profit target for your trade.
Identify where your entry is relative to the most recent pivot, and assess whether the minimum expected distance for the most recent pivot has been exceeded. Treat the zones as an approximation.
If your trade aligns with the most recent pivot - treat the minimum expected distance zone as a potential profit target area. Of course, price might stop short or continue beyond the projection area!
That's it! Just a short and sweet script; thank you!

Draw Horizontal LinesThis script will draw horizontal lines at user-specified levels on a trading chart, which is especially useful for marking key support and resistance levels.
Explanation:
Indicator Definition: The indicator function sets up the script with the name "Draw Horizontal Lines" and specifies that it should overlay the price chart.
Processing Levels: The space-separated string of levels is split into an array using str.split.
Reversal Pivot PointsThis indicator aims to identify price levels where price action has quickly reversed from. These "pivots" establish major levels where major liquidity is located. Unlike standard support and resistance levels, when price breaks below or above a pivot, these pivots disappear from the chart. Comes with various customization features built to fit all.
Features
Pivot Timeframe: Identify and plot pivots from one specific timeframe and see it from all lower timeframes
Pivot left/right bar limit: A feature aimed at preventing false pivots identification
Remove On Close (ROC): Feature to only remove pivots once price close under it
ROC Timeframe: The timeframe the script uses to determine if the candle closed under the level
Wait For Close: Will only remove the pivot after the current candle closes
Line Extension Type: The extension of the line. None - extends line to current time, left - only extends line to the left, right - only extends line to the right, both - extends line both directions
Line Offset: How much to offset (in bars) the line and label from the current candle
Line Type: The style of line when plotted. Solid (─), dotted (┈), dashed (╌), arrow left (←), arrow right (→), arrows both (↔)
Display Level: Whether to or not to display the price of the pivot
Display Perfect Level: Whether to or not to display levels where price perfectly rejected off of
Alerts: Creates an alert when a level has been crossed
How to trade
1. Pivots can be traded to or from. The stock market (market makers) will tend to "chase" liquidity in order to fill orders at better averages. This allows us retail traders to to participate alongside these moves to these pivots. Once price action hits a pivot, it can do two things: break the pivot and continue or bounce off it. We can participate alongside these bounces after confirmation of a reversal (doji, volume, etc). These bounce plays are high risk as it's generally 50-50, but the risk to reward is typically also very high, making them very valuable to take.
2. Typically, the market is a fluid environment and should be "natural," so perfect things (manmade and filled with liquidity) should not occur. With this knowledge, we can expect these perfect levels, "PDT/PDB," to break as they are not natural occurrence and have heavy liquidity on and above/below them. We can trade to these levels and expect them to break/sweep if price action comes near them again.
Multi-TimeFrame Support and Resistance w/ Strength RatingMulti-TimeFrame Support and Resistance w/ Strength Rating
Short Description:
This indicator identifies key support and resistance levels on your chart and rates their significance based on a unique strength rating system. By analyzing price action across multiple timeframes, it helps you make informed trading decisions and understand the market structure more effectively.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The indicator can display support and resistance levels from up to three different timeframes simultaneously. This allows you to see the bigger picture and understand how levels from different timeframes interact with each other.
Strength Rating: Each support and resistance level is assigned a strength rating from 1 to 10, with 10 being the strongest. The strength rating is determined by the indicator's proprietary algorithm, which takes into account factors such as the number of times a level has been tested, the volume profile around the level, and the overall market context.
Customizable Display: You can choose how many levels above and below the current price you want to see on your chart. This helps to declutter your chart and focus on the most relevant levels. Additionally, you can opt to display the strength rating and the timeframe for each level.
Alerts: The indicator can send you alerts when the price closes above or below a key support or resistance level. This can help you stay on top of important market moves even when you're not actively watching the charts.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and customize the settings to your preference. You can choose which timeframes to display, the minimum strength rating for levels to be shown, and the number of levels above and below the current price.
Use the support and resistance levels identified by the indicator to make informed trading decisions. For example, you can look for long entries near strong support levels or short entries near strong resistance levels.
Pay attention to the strength rating of each level. Levels with higher strength ratings are more likely to hold and can be given more weight in your analysis.
Use the multi-timeframe analysis to understand the bigger picture. Levels that are significant across multiple timeframes are often more important than those that only appear on one timeframe.
Enable alerts to stay informed about important market moves. When the price closes above or below a key level, it can signal a potential trend change or breakout.
By using this Support and Resistance Levels with Strength Rating indicator, you can gain a deeper understanding of the market structure and make more informed trading decisions. The multi-timeframe analysis and strength rating system provide a unique perspective on the significance of each level, helping you to focus on the most important areas of support and resistance.
Bilson Gann CountGann counting is a method for identifying swing points,trends, and overall market structure. It simplifies price action by drawing short trend lines that summarize moves.
There's essentially 4 types of bar/candle.
Up bar - Higher high and higher low than previous bar
Down bar - Lower high and lower low than previous bar
Inside bar - Lower high and higher low than previous bar
Outside bar - Higher high and lower low than previous bar
We use these determinations to decide how the trendline moves through the candles.
Up bars we join to the high, down bars we join to the low, inside bars are ignored.
There are other indicators that already exist which do this, the difference here is how we handle outside bars.
Other gann counting methods skip outside bars, this method determines how to handle the outside bar after the outside bar is broken.
examples
UP -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
UP -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
