BB Support & ResistanceChoosing support and resistance can be time consuming and subjective. Personally, I don't want to spend too much time manually marking up charts. Credit to video I saw, forget the producer, that demonstrated how multi-time frame Bollinger Bands can act as support and resistance. I suggest reading up on Bollinger Bands (en.wikipedia.org) and how to trade them. This indicator draws support and resistance lines based on Bollinger Bands on three time frames. You can select 1 or all three time frames to display on your chart. Enjoy.

Trend Channels [Cryptoverse]This Indicator dynamically generates and displays on the chart Trend Channels with the pivot points it determines in each market and in each time period. The type of price used to determine the pivot points and create the channels is optional (e.g. close or high, low).
It will help you identify your entry points and stop zones and help you take positions, but it does not contain any buy and sell signals or trading strategies. It creates more successful channels on higher timeframes.
Usage Settings:
---------------------------------------------------
General Settings:
Pivot Period: This field determines how many candles before and after a candle will be counted as a peak or bottom in order to determine the peaks and troughs on the chart.
Trend Channels are created by calculating the Pivot points according to the period set here. (Default value: 6)
Top Pivot Source: Determines which value of the related candle the top pivot points will be based on.
Bottom Pivot Source: Determines which value of the related candle the lower pivot points will be based on.
(Default: closing)
Trend Channels Settings:
Show All Trend Lines: Allows you to show or hide trend channels.
Hide Old Trend Lines: If you activate it, it allows you to hide the channels created in the past other than the current trend channels.
Hide 0.5 Lines: Allows you to hide lines at the Fibonacci 0.5 level.
Hide 0.236 Lines: Allows to hide lines at Fibonacci 0.236 level.
Hide 0.786 Lines: Allows to hide lines at Fibonacci 0.786 level.
Helper Line Format: Allows the helper line that converts a trend line into a channel to be drawn based on percentage or price.
*Note:* When using large time intervals by choosing percentages, there may be situations where the helper lines do not provide full parallels.

Trend Channel Width: Determines the thickness of the channel lines.
Trend Channel Style: Determines the style of the channel lines.
Trend Lines [LuxAlgo]Our new "Trend Lines" indicator detects and highlights relevant trendlines on the user chart while keeping it free of as much clutter as possible.
The indicator is thought for real-time usage and includes several filters as well as the ability to estimate trendline angles.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines can act as support/resistance, with a higher number of tests indicating a more significant support/resistance role.
A broken TrendLine can be indicative of a potential trend reversal. The script highlights breaks with a label.
Users can additionally filter trendlines, only showing trendlines whose angles fall within a user set range:
This allows for the removal of potential clutter from the chart but also helps keep steeper or more horizontal trendlines.
🔶 DETAILS
When a swing (pivot point) is found, a Trendline is drawn when certain conditions are fulfilled.
An essential condition is that a Bearish Trendline (red) always occurs on a lower high, while a Bullish Trendline (blue) occurs on a higher low.
Our implementation will first show an initial dotted-styled TrendLine on confirmation, after which a solid-styled secondary TrendLine will develop. The latter will be used for the real-time detection of breaks at that line:
Furthermore, the script allows you to add more conditions:
🔹 Length (Swings)
A swing develops when a high/low is the highest/lowest against x highs/lows on the left AND right of that bar. x can be set by "Length" in settings.
The following images clarify this. The script confirms a swing where the yellow flag is shown; the high (here visualized with a purple label) is the highest point against x bars left and right of that point.
At that moment, this swing is checked against the previous swing. If all conditions are fulfilled, an initial TrendLine is drawn on confirmation.
After that point, a secondary thicker solid line is seen which keeps progressing bar after bar, until:
• a new TrendLine is formed
• the TrendLine is broken
🔹 Breaks between Swings
Once there is confirmation that a TrendLine can be drawn, the script allows you to filter for breakthroughs on that line. This can be set with "Check breaks between"
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced:
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points:
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar):
🔹 TrendLine breaks
As mentioned, the secondary TrendLine (solid line) progresses bar after bar until a new TrendLine is formed or the TrendLine is broken. When a TrendLine is broken, the TrendLine stops progressing, but if there isn't a new TrendLine and price return back, the TrendLine will re-appear, potentially giving several signals when the TrendLine is broken again.
Minimal bars allow you to regulate the amount of signals when the TrendLine is broken.
-> The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
The following example shows 1 signal against 3 by adjusting this setting from 2 to 5:
🔹 Angles
Angles should normally be calculated when the units of the X and Y axis are the same. However, on our charts, the unit of the X-axis is bar_index (bars), and on the Y-axis the unit is price (¥, €, £, $,...).
It is not easy to normalize and create reasonably valid angles. Often certain angle calculations can differ through price changes or volatility.
Our calculate_slope() function tries to make corresponding angles through all bars.
We do this by calculating the difference between the highest/lowest price values in a certain bar range. The bar range is our X-axis, and the price difference is our Y-axis.
Zooming in/out will not change the amount of bars or the price. Since it does change our view on the chart, and thereby how we see the angles, we have included a setting where you can personalize the ratio between X and Y-axis (Angles -> Ratio X-Y axis).
Settings: Angles - Ratio X-Y axis:
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swings
Length: Lookback period for the detection of swing points.
🔹 Trendline validation
Check breaks between :
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar)
Source (breaks) : Source which invalidates TrendLine, default: close
🔹 TrendLine breaks
Minimal bars : The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
🔹 Angles
Show : Toggle labels.
Ratio X-Y axis : Every user has his preferences regarding zoom, chart layout,...
If the shown angles are not according to your expectations, you can adjust this number.
Only TrendLine between : Only allow TrendLines between the minimum and maximum degrees. Set only the minimal and maximum values above 0.

Flux Charts MTF Supply and Demand Zones (Premium)Indicator Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Supply & Demand Zones indicator by Flux Charts displays supply and demand zones on multiple timeframes with two different zone detection methods. These zones are commonly known as areas where there are lots of buyers/sellers present in the market.
Adaptive Detection Method
AMEX:SPY 5m timeframe, October 8 2023
Indicator Settings: (Timeframe: Chart & 15m, Method: Adaptive, Zone Multiplier: 1)
Many times supply and demand scripts try and precisely define conditions that qualify for supply and demand zones. People, however, when locating supply and demand zones manually generally do not take a quantitative approach, rather looking for qualities in price action that have generalized qualities and trends. The adaptive algorithm uniqueness comes from adapting the human approach to work computationally. It generalizes the qualities of supply and demand zones and locates areas in the chart with an acceptable similarity. Specifically, it looks for consolidated areas within the chart that are preceded by a rise or fall in price. The rise or fall length has to be a certain ratio to the consolidation length. If the criteria are met it will draw the zone, if a zone already exists at that price level it will ignore it or merge them if they are different timeframes. This results in a much more consistent ability to identify areas of supply and demand.
Basic Detection Method
The basic detection method looks for areas where price made drastic movements within a small period of time, which could indicate a high level of buyers/sellers at the spot. Thus, these zones are formed and can be used as areas of trading where money is going in/out of the markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) S&D
Flux Charts supply and demand script utilizes MTF. This allows for displaying zones from different timeframes on one chart. Utilizing higher timeframes is a common practice in trading, and it can be easy to forget about key levels & zones on higher timeframes which could cause reversals/bounces.
Here is an example of a 15 minute supply zone formed on the NASDAQ, and with this indicator, you can also see this same 15 minute supply zone while being on a 5 minute candlestick chart, since you have the 15 minute zones enabled in the settings. This indicator offers supply & demand zones on multiple timeframes including the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, and 4 hour.
Settings
Method:
Choose between the Supply & Demand zones detection (Basic / Adaptive)
Zone Retests:
Choose how retests should be considered. You can choose between a high/low candle wick entering a zone, or a candle closing inside of a zone to be considered a valid retest.
Zone Invalidation:
Choose how zones are invalidated. You can choose between a high/low candle wick exiting a zone, or a candle closing outside of a zone to be considered a zone invalidation.
Zone multiplier:
Adjust zone size (1 is recommended)
Timeframe:
Choose the timeframes you would like Supply & Demand zones to be displayed from.
Zone Appearance:
Adjust the colors of Supply/Demand zones
Enable/Disable the center dashed line in zones
Display Labels:
Choose to toggle on/off retest & break labels
Notifications:
Choose what alerts you would like to receive. You can choose to have new zone formations, zone breaks, and zone retests.
YD_Divergence_RSI+CMFThe ‘YD_Divergence_RSI+CMF’ indicator can find divergence using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) indicators.
📌 Key functions
1. Search pivot high and pivot low points in a certain length of price.
2. Connect pivot high to pivot high , pivot low to pivot low , forming two standards for divergence in result.
The marker then plots only the higher high, lower low lines.
(higher low and lower high in prices are referred to hidden divergence, which are not considered in this indicator)
3. Compare the two standards with RSI and CMF indicators, send an alert if there is a divergence. As a result, the indicator will find four combination of divergence.
A. Higher high price / Lower RSI (Bearish RSI Divergence)
B. Lower low price / Higher RSI (Bullish RSI Divergence)
C. Higher high price / Lower CMF (Bearish CMF Divergence)
D. Lower low price / Higher CMF (Bullish CMF Divergence)
📌 Details
Developing the indicators, we put a lot of effort in making a customizable and user-friendly interface.
#1. Pivot Setting
Users can set the length to find the pivot high / pivot low in ‘Pivot Settings – Pivot Length.’
Increased pivot Length takes more candles to interpret the chart but reduce false signals since the it uses only the most certain pivot high / pivot low values. Obviously, decreased pivot length will act the opposite.
Users can choose whether to use ‘High/Low’ or ‘Close’ in ‘Pivot Reference’ to set the swing point of prices.
Users can also choose whether to display the pivot high / pivot low marker on the chart.
#2 RSI & CMF Settings
Users can adjust the length of RSI & CMF separately. (The default values are set to 14 and 20 each.)
#3 Label Setting
Users can adjust the text displayed on the chart label. (The default values is set to ‘Bullish / Bearish’, ‘RSI/CMF’, ‘Divergence’.)
Users can reduce the length of text label or simply turn the label off. Just click the ‘Bull/Bear’ or ‘None’ button. ‘Divergence’ works the same.
Users can decide whether to display the ‘Divergence Line and Label’, set custom settings for the label and line. (color, thickness, style, etc)
📌 Alert
Alert are provided as a combination of the chart's symbol and the set label text. For example,
‘BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P, Bullish RSI Divergence’
====================================================
"YD_Divergence_RSI+CMF" 지표 는 RSI와 CMF 지표를 이용해서 Divergence 를 찾아낼 수 있습니다.
📌 주요 기능
1. 정해진 가격 움직임 안에서 pivot high와 pivot low 포인트 를 찾아냅니다.
2. Pivot high로만 이어진 라인과, Pivot low로만 이어진 두 라인을 작도한 뒤 divergence의 기준으로 삼습니다.
이 지표에서는 normal divergence만 사용하기 때문에 차트에 higher high와 lower low만 표기 합니다.
(higher low와 lower high는 hidden divergence로 정의되며, 이 지표에서는 다루지 않습니다.
3. 두 기준선과 RSI, CMF 지표를 각각 비교하고, 결과적으로 4개의 조합을 구할 수 있습니다.
A. Higher high price / Lower RSI (Bearish RSI Divergence)
B. Lower low price / Higher RSI (Bullish RSI Divergence)
C. Higher high price / Lower CMF (Bearish CMF Divergence)
D. Lower low price / Higher CMF (Bullish CMF Divergence)
📌 세부 사항
지표를 개발하며 사용자들이 원하는 방향으로 지표를 설정할 수 있게 작업에 많은 공을 들였습니다. 굉장히 다양한 옵션을 선택할 수 있으며, 원하는 방식으로 지표를 사용할 수 있습니다.
#1 Pivot Setting
Pivot setting에서는 Pivot Length를 변경할 수 있습니다.
Pivot Length를 늘릴 경우, 보다 확실한 Swing High와 Swing Low만을 사용하게 되므로, False signal이 줄어들 수 있습니다. 하지만 Swing High/ Low를 판정하는 데에 더 긴 시간이 걸리게 되므로, Signal이 다소 늦게 발생하는 단점이 생기게 됩니다.
Pivot Length를 줄일 경우, 반대로 Swing High/Low의 판정이 더 빨리 일어나기 때문에, Signal을 거래에 이용하기는 좋을 수 있습니다. 다만, Swing High와 Low가 훨씬 더 잦은 빈도로 발생하기 때문에 False Signal을 줄 가능성이 높아집니다.
Pivot Reference에서는 가격의 Swing Point를 설정함에 있어, High/Low(고가/저가)를 이용할 지 Close (종가)를 이용할 지 선택할 수 있습니다.
Pivot High/Low Marker를 선택할 경우 Pivot High/ Low에 Marker가 찍히게 됩니다.
#2 RSI와 CMF Setting
RSI와 CMF Setting에서는 RSI와 CMF의 길이를 각각 설정할 수 있습니다. 기본값은 14와 20으로 설정되어 있습니다.
#3 Label Setting
Label Setting에서는 Label에 표시되는 글자를 선택할 수 있습니다.
기본값은 "Bullish / Bearish", "RSI/CMF", "Divergence"로 선택되어 있으며, 너무 길다고 느껴질 경우 "Bull/Bear" 혹은 "None"을 클릭하여 길이를 줄일 수 있습니다. 마찬가지로 Divergence의 경우도 생략이 가능합니다.
하단에서는 Divergence Line과 Label을 켜고 끌 수 있으며, 선의 색깔, 굵기, 종류, 그리고 Label의 색깔, 크기, 종류를 선택할 수 있습니다. Label의 Text 색 역시 변경이 가능합니다.
📌 얼러트
얼러트는 자신이 설정한 차트의 심볼과 Label의 문구의 조합으로 제공되며 예를 들면 다음과 같습니다.
"BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P, Bullish RSI Divergence"
ES/SPX/SPY conversion indicatorOverview:
This indicator helps with giving a conversion from ES, SPX and SPY to each other. Will help with setting levels on the chart based on the one of the 3 securities. For example, if you have a level from ES (futures) and want to correlate that level in the SPY, then you can put the ES option and the level you want to watch and will put the line in the corresponding level of the SPY.
How it works/Calculations:
It will use a mathematical equation to calculate the ratio between ES/SPY/SPX. Using this ratio equation, if ES price point A is wanted, then it will be correlated to the SPY and will help with knowing what levels correspond to the futures and vice versa. One thing to be aware is that Tradingview has a 15 min delayed on futures so you will not have updated pricing unless you pay for it, but for this indicator main purpose is for the people that want to correlate certain levels from futures to SPY based on technical analysis. On the settings you can choses the ticker that you want to put the levels, whether is ES, SPX or SPY and then you have multiple areas to put those levels as active or inactive. If the line is below the price point it will color red and if the line is above the price, then will be green.
Potential Pitfalls:
No potential pitfalls except as mentioned above, the delay in futures unless you pay for it.
How to use:
You should not be using this indicator for entries or stop. This indicator will help correlate levels from ES, SPX and SPY among themselves.
Who will benefit from this indicator? Whoever likes to do technical analysis on the futures and want to watch those levels into the spy and correlate them.
Settings:
-Very simple settings, first you chose the one that you want to compare with. You will have 3 choices, ES, SPX, SPY. If you have the SPY chart and want to compare with ES, then chose ES and then put the levels from ES that you want to mark on the SPY.
Disclaimer:
This is still an indicator that is being tested and in no way should be used alone. Currently will be in closed beta to find bugs and to work on accuracy.

- Structural analysis is a pivotal component of this indicator. By recognizing the fundamental elements of market structure, traders can make informed decisions regarding trend direction, potential reversals, and optimal entry and exit points.
1.3 Rules for Structure Mapping:
Let's explore some key definitions:
- Inside bars: These are candles that exist within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks: In an uptrend, a valid pullback occurs when the low of a previous candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM): An inducement is a price level. In an uptrend, it is defined as the low of the latest pullback before the highest high. It is considered a liquidity area, often revisited by the market to access liquidity before continuing its upward movement.
- Break of Structure (BoS): In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the highest high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character.
Example of a bullish ChoCh:

[AlbaTherium] Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure , Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks , Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
- Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High , a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
- Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low , it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh :
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
- An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap .
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps . It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market largely disregards all the SMT s and responds favorably to the Extreme OB . This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed below the OB and a take profit set at the fill of the Fair value gap.

Clone Pivots. Oct_2023Conceptually very simple.
The all time high or low of the chart (this indicator can be used with non-price sources as well), is used to divide the price pane continuously by 2.
For example the first pivot is (All Time High + All Time Low)/2.
From this point the price chart is further divided by 2.
The user can set the depth of division, and the lines for depth are only shown around the price.
About clone pivots.
- they can be used for ladder trading
- they are based on the range of the stock or instrument price
An alternative is available to use Fib divisions rather than simple divide by 2 method.
Labels may be placed with price or without. And depth of labelling is also an option.
Clone pivots at 50% tend to work very well with price structures - give it a try and see if it helps your trading!

Breaks and Retests with Volatility Stop [HG]The "Breaks and Retests with Volatility Stop " indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying key support and resistance levels, breakouts, retests, and potential trend reversals. This indicator combines two essential components: support and resistance detection, and a Volatility Stop indicator for improved risk management. Below are the key features of this indicator:
**Support and Resistance Detection:**
- **Lookback Range:** Users can customize the lookback range, determining how many bars are considered when identifying support and resistance levels. This allows for flexibility in capturing short-term or longer-term levels.
- **Bars Since Breakout:** The indicator helps traders spot retests by allowing them to specify the number of bars that should occur since a breakout before considering it a potential retest.
- **Retest Detection Limiter:** Traders can set a limit on how many bars should be actively checked during a potential retest event. This feature prevents retest alerts from occurring too late, ensuring more accurate results.
- **Breakouts and Retests:** Users can choose to display or hide breakout and retest events separately, tailoring the indicator to their specific trading strategy.
- **Repainting Options:** The indicator offers three repainting options: "On," "Off: Candle Confirmation," and "Off: High & Low." This provides flexibility in choosing the repainting behavior that suits your trading style.
**Styling Options:**
- **Outline and Extend:** Traders can customize the appearance of support and resistance boxes by selecting outline styles and extension preferences.
- **Label Types and Sizes:** The indicator offers two label types, "Full" and "Simple," allowing traders to choose the level of detail displayed on the chart. Additionally, users can adjust the label size for better visibility.
- **Customizable Colors:** Support and resistance levels can be color-coded to match your preferred charting style, enhancing visibility and clarity.
- **Override Text Color:** If desired, traders can override the text color for labels, providing further customization of the indicator's appearance.
**Alerts and Notifications:**
- The indicator generates various alerts and notifications to keep traders informed about critical market events, including:
- New Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and Resistance Breakouts
- Support and Resistance Retests
- Potential Support and Resistance Retests
**Volatility Stop Indicator:**
- The "Breaks and Retests with Volatility Stop " indicator also includes a Volatility Stop component, which helps traders manage risk by indicating potential stop-loss levels based on market volatility. The Volatility Stop is color-coded to reflect the current trend direction, making it easy to identify potential trend reversals.
In summary, this TradingView indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance your technical analysis and trading decisions. It provides support and resistance levels, breakout and retest alerts, and incorporates a Volatility Stop indicator for risk management, making it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit.
Histogram-based price zonesThis indicator provides a new approach to creating price zones that can be used as support and resistance. The approach does not use pivot points or Fibonacci levels. Instead, it uses the frequency of occurence of local maxima and minima to determine zones of interest where price often changed direction.
The algorithm is as follows:
- Gather price data from the last Lookback trading periods
- Calculate rolling minima and rolling maxima along the price points with window size Window size
- Build a histogram from the rolling extrema which are binned into different zones. The number of bins and therefore the width of a zone can be adjusted with the parameter Zone width factor
- Select only the top fullest bins. The number of bins selected for plotting can be controlled with Zone multiplier
The result are a number of boxes that appear on the chart which mark levels of interest to watch for. You can combine multiple instances of this indicator on different settings to find zones that are very relevant.
Shown as an example is the Nasdaq 100 futures ( NQ1! ) on the D timeframe with levels built from the last 100 periods with default settings. The boxes are the only output of the indicator, no signals are created.
100% Daily Gain LevelsThis script takes the previous days closing value and calculates the current 100%, 200%, 300% and 400% levels for that stock.
Using that information it draws a dotted persistent line (with labels on the far right) at those levels. This information can be useful as it can then, at times, act as a support/resistance for momentum stocks. So when a stock runs 100% and holds that level, historically, that stock has a good chance to continue rising. Same when hitting additional "100%" ranges.
The user has the option to deselect the labels and/or lines.
If people find this useful then I can work on adding options that allow users more freedom to adjust how the lines are displayed as well as some enhancements to the display.
Swing based support and resistanceThis indicator provided here is for identifying swing-based support and resistance levels. It uses two swing lengths, which can be adjusted by the user, to identify swings in the price data. For each swing length, the script calculates the support level as the low of the swing if the trend is up, or the high of the swing if the trend is down. It then plots the support and resistance levels on the chart, along with buy and sell signals.
The buy and sell signals are generated by comparing the current closing price to the support and resistance levels. If the closing price is above the support level, the script plots a buy signal. If the closing price is below the level, the script plots a sell signal.
To use the script, you would first need to add it to your trading platform. Once it is added, you can configure the swing lengths and other parameters to suit your trading style. You can then apply the script to a chart and begin using the support and resistance levels and buy and sell signals to make trading decisions.
Points to be noted while using the indicator:
# The script is designed to be used on a daily chart. However, you can also use it on other timeframes, such as weekly or monthly charts.
# The swing lengths that you choose will depend on your trading style. If you are a swing trader, you may want to use longer swing lengths. If you are a day trader, you may want to use shorter swing lengths.
# Remember, the support and resistance levels generated by the script are not exact price points. They are rather zones where demand and supply can change. Therefore, you should always use other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm your trading decisions.
# Overall, the script is a useful tool for identifying swing-based support and resistance levels. It can be used by traders of all experience levels to generate trading ideas and improve their trading performance.
To use the swing-based support and resistance indicator with respect to price, you can follow these steps:
=> Identify the support and resistance levels that have been generated by the indicator.
=> Look for price action that is taking place near these levels.
=> If the price is above the level, look for bullish reversals or continuations.
=> If the price is below the level, look for bearish reversals or continuations.
For Example,
=> Bullish reversal: The price is above the level and forms a bullish candlestick pattern, such as a bullish hammer or engulfing pattern.
=> Bullish continuation: The price is above the level and bounces off of the level.
=> Bearish reversal: The price is below the level and forms a bearish candlestick pattern, such as a bearish hammer or engulfing pattern.
=> Bearish continuation: The price is below the level and rejects the level.
$$ You can also use the indicator to identify potential trading entry and exit points. For example, you could enter a long trade when the price breaks above a resistance level and exit the trade when the price retraces to the resistance level. Or, you could enter a short trade when the price breaks below a support level and exit the trade when the price rallies to the support level.
This swing-based support and resistance indicator is just one tool that you can use to trade. You should always use other technical analysis tools and indicators, such as price action and trend analysis, to confirm your trading decisions.
Additionally:
=> Be aware of the overall trend direction. If the trend is up, you should be looking for bullish reversals or continuations. If the trend is down, you should be looking for bearish reversals or continuations.
=> Use a stop loss order to limit your risk on each trade.
=> Consider using a position sizing strategy to manage your risk.
=> Do your own research and backtest any trading strategy before using it in a live trading environment.

Tick Weighted Average Price RangesTick Weighted Average Price Ranges
Tick weighted average prices ( TiWAP ) are prices averaged from movements of TICK that break above or below configured sensitivity (500 default). The TiWAP indicator plots bands calculating various standard deviations from that averaged price that expand as the anchorage session progresses.
A core feature of TiWAP is the "Show Target Levels" feature which projects prior anchored ending deviation values as horizontal plots where price often reacts.
This feature has become increasingly critical to trade plan development with referencing a myriad of TiWAP timeframes and numerous deviations within and beyond the standard 1st, 2nd and 3rd deviation multipliers.
Thus the feature of plotting these prior anchored ending deviation values has been ported into a standalone indicator.
It's now incredibly simple to pick a timeframe, setup standard multipliers and then additional multipliers that can simply be chosen as applicators to the main multipliers.
Example Configuration
Anchorage: Weekly
Standard Multipliers 1st, 2nd and 3rd: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 respectively
1st Additional: -0.5
This would result in:
Standard Deviation 1st (1.0, -1.0) Upper, Lower
Additional Deviation 1st (0.5, -0.5) Upper, Lower
Standard Deviation 2nd (2.0, -2.0) Upper, Lower
Additional Deviation 2nd (1.5, -1.5) Upper, Lower
Standard Deviation 3rd (3.0, -3.0) Upper, Lower
Additional Deviation 3rd (2.5, -2.5) Upper, Lower
The aim is to have the "in-between" deviations without the need to use manual drawing tools to find potential areas of pivot, a complete range from the above example would then provide:
3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, Prev TiWAP, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0, -2.5, -3.0
Usage
Use this to conduct multi-timeframe analysis of where price is relative to TiWAP ranges, review potential reversals at broad market extensions or perhaps trend continuation opportunities given full timeframe continuity (FTFC).
If utilizing higher timeframe anchorages such as quarterly, yearly then chart timeframe will need to scale up in order to allow for proper calculations to run within the 5000 lookback limitations of TradingView.
The higher chart timeframes also may benefit from higher sensitivity settings, such as 1000 on 15m chart and yearly anchorage.
Markets
As TICK tracks up/down tick movement of NYSE/NASDAQ, this indicator should be focused on stocks that closely track those markets. TICK data is only available during RTH so it's recommended to leave ETH off and set anchorage to RTH only when using session timeframe.
Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.

Horizontal whole LinesThis indicator plot horizontal lines above and below the current price. they show the level of whole round number around the current price. these levels normal act as magnet where price movement tend to stop at them for a while. they can be used as support, resistance, take profit or stop limit.
EQ LEVELS / EquilibriumWhat is it, How to use it, How to adjust the settings? What Calculates EQ Level?
What is it?
EQ, Equilibrium, In the money market, the term "equilibrium" or "equilibrium" refers to the point at which supply and demand are equalised. At this point, money supply and money demand meet each other and interest rates stabilise at a certain level. Equilibrium in the money market reflects the overall financial balance in the economy
According to What Calculates the EQ Level?
Normally, there may be many different alternatives to this, but I have printed the result on the screen by adding the highest and lowest levels of the prices and averaging them to think of a simple solution.
How to use it?
I have added 4 timeframes for both long-term investors and traders to use. If you want to use which timeframe, you can select the timeframe you want from the settings and see it on the chart. For those who want to trade, my suggestion is to follow the daily eq levels and of course look at the weekly eq levels. The weekly eq level can give you an idea of what kind of price range the next day may be in.
How to Make Settings?
When you first add the indicator to the chart, it draws a line. You change it to a circle or plus in the settings, it will look like the picture I shared. I also share open source code and can make changes in the code.
Nedir?, Nasıl Kullanılır?, Ayarları Nasıl Yapılır? EQ Seviyesini Neye Göre Hesaplar?
Nedir?:
EQ yani Equilibrium, Para piyasasında "denge" veya "equilibrium" terimi, arz ve talebin eşitlendiği noktayı ifade eder. Bu noktada, para arzı ile para talebi birbirini karşılar ve faiz oranları belirli bir seviyede dengelenir. Para piyasasındaki denge, ekonomideki genel finansal dengeyi yansıtır
EQ Seviyesini Neye Göre Hesaplar?
Normalde bunun farlı bir çok alternatifi olabilir ama ben biraz basit bir çözüm düşünmek için fiyatların en yüksek ve en düşük seviyelerini toplayarak ve ortalamasını alarak çıka sonucu ekrana yazdırdım.
Nasıl Kullanılır?
Hem uzun vadeli yatırım yapanlar hem de trade yapanların kullanabilmesi için 4 zaman dilimi ekledim. Hangi zaman dilimini kullanmak istiyorsanız ayarlardan istediniz zaman dilimini seçip onu grafikte görebilirsiniz. Trade yapmak isteyenler için önerim günlük eq seviyelerini takip etmeleri ve tabiki haftalık eq seviyelerine bakın. Haftalık eq seviyesi size bir sonra ki günün nasıl bir fiyat aralığı içerisinde olabileceği konusunda fikir verebilir.
Ayarları Nasıl Yapılır?
