Moving Average Zone Indicator (MAZI) - Complete!Now with adjustable settings!
Description:
The MAZI (Moving Average Zone Indicator) is a slow updating moving average calculation of key high and low points in the market, which is a unique approach to sampling moving averages.
The indicator tracks only the key candles that provide good information about price movement, which distinguishes it from other moving average indicators that record a new data point with every bar that prints.
The length of the MAZI is determined by the number of key price points to reference in the average equation, not the number of candles to look at.
We have included our very own unique addition besides the ability to adjust the settings which is called: Standard Deviation Zones
Standard Deviation Zones:
A standard deviation takes a set of values and tells you with a certain level of confidence that with those data points where a potential next data point could land.
When we take our key pivot high and key pivot low points and calculate standard deviations away from them.
We can more confidently predict where the next turn around will be.
Of course the market is always changing and this is not a sure thing but it will still help us get an idea of what places for the next pivot is reasonable.
At the same time if the price breaks above the top standard deviation lines and below the bottom ones it’s a clear sign of a significant move or change in the market
The MAZI band uses specific candle conditions to sample the highs and lows of specific candles to calculate the top and bottom moving averages.
If the close of a candle is lower than the close of the previous two candles, the high of the previous candle is recorded as a potential pivot value.
If the close of a candle is higher than the close of the previous two candles, the low of the previous candle is recorded as a potential pivot value.
These pivot values are adjustable!
The upper and lower bounds of the moving average zone are calculated as one and two standard deviations away from the moving averages, respectively.
The MAZI provides a unique perspective on price movement that can help traders identify key zones of support and resistance.
The MAZI’s equation gives traders 5 crucial points of interest: the direction of the zone, the top of the zone, the middle of the zone, the bottom of the zone, and the height of the zone.
How to use each point of interest
The Direction:
Because we don’t use every candle for input into our calculations, the direction of the indicator will not change with insignificant moves in the markets allowing you to catch when something is a pull back vs when it is a real direction change.
We have also included 3 easy to read colors allowing you to gauge when direction is going down, flat, or up, by alternating the color of the zone between red, white, and green respectively.
The Top of the Zone:
The top of the zone represents where price would be expected to not go over given the length of the bars being calculated.
So this tells you that if the zone is red and the highs are not breaking over the top of the zone, the market is behaving as expected and it should continue down.
On the other hand, if price does break over the top of the zone it signifies stronger than expected buying power and price movement.
The strongest indication of strong upward movement is when the top of the zone becomes an area of price support.
So when you see a candle come down from above the zone and turn around near the top of the zone there is likely a strong upward move coming.
Unless there is a very strong trend it is best to only take this trade the first time price breaks the top side and forms support.
On a range day this is not likely to happen multiple times in a row without price testing the bottom side in between.
The Middle of the Zone:
The middle of the zone is used as a general no trade zone.
Because price is inbetween where the expected high and low of price should be there is no good indicator of which way price will break out.
That does not mean you cannot find worthwhile patterns in the middle of the zone but as a general rule and a very good rule for beginner traders is to avoid entering a trade inside the zone all together.
The Bottom of the Zone:
The bottom of the zone is used similarly to the top of the zone.
If the zone is green and lows are not going below the bottom of the zone the shows you that sellers are not breaking below the expected price and therefore you can expect the price to continue moving up.
On the other hand if price breaks below the low part of the zone then it shows you that sell’s have pushed price below the expected low and therefore is currently under strong selling pressure.
The strongest signal for a big downward move is when the low of the zone (the expected bottom of where price should be given the length of the indicator) turns into a resistance area for price.
When a candle comes up from underneath the zone and fails to break into the zone and starts to drop again, that is the best signal for a big downward move.
Unless there is a very strong trend it is best to only take this trade the first time price breaks the bottom side and forms resistance.
On a range day this is not likely to happen multiple times in a row without price testing the top side in between.
The Size of the Zone:
The size of the zone is very important to keep in mind when gauging profit targets and stop loss levels.
When the market is forming trending patterns the height of the zone will grow.
When the market is showing signs of ranging it will start to shrink.
In other words the smaller the zone the smaller your profit target should be (and the tighter stop you should have).
A zone with a large height shows that we have much larger moves requiring wider stops and its more likely to hit larger profit targets.

Multi-Indicator Confluence Signals (MICS) - Complete!Now with adjustable settings!
Description:
The Multi-Indicator Confluence Signals (MICS) is a comprehensive trading tool designed to simplify the process of analyzing multiple technical indicators and uncluttering your screen!
You are able to select various pre-existing indicators, including Stochastic, RSI, MACD, EMA, DMI, Bollinger Band and a our very own custom signal we created using only price action calculations which will provide a streamlined view of the market, allowing traders to focus on speed, trade execution, strategy, and chart reading.
We do this by converting the input from the above popular technical indicators and generate clear long and short signals by placing green(long) and/or red(short) arrows directly on the chart.
You have the option to choose which indicators you want to show on the screen and also the option to choose long and/or short signals and it even comes with the option to adjust the settings of each respective pre-existing indicator to your liking, even our very own price action signal!
Example of the settings you can adjust + many more.
Unclutter your screen by going from this image ...(Imagine your own drawings+the above indicators):
To this! (Only long signals displayed in the picture)
Features:
Consolidated signals:
The MICS identifies bull and bearish signals from multiple indicators and presents them in a visual arrow pointing manner, enabling traders to quickly assess potential trade opportunities.
Unique price action signals:
The price action arrows in the MICS trading tool are a unique feature that distinguish it from traditional technical indicators.
These arrows are generated solely based on recent price movement and are calculated using an algorithm that analyzes the strength of recent price action.
The algorithm also considers factors such as the length and intensity of the trend, as well as any notable support or resistance levels.
When the 'Price Action Long' or 'Price Action Short' options are enabled, the MICS will display green or red arrows respectively, indicating potential bullish or bearish signals.
These arrows complement the signals generated by other pre-existing technical indicators in the MICS .
Clutter-free charting:
By removing the need to display individual indicators on the chart, the MICS helps create a cleaner workspace, promoting better focus and decision-making.
Confluence-based trading:
The MICS is not designed to be used as a standalone trading system.
Instead, traders should utilize the signals as confluences to complement their pre-existing trade ideas, leading to more robust and well-informed strategies.
Mashup of Indicators:
Each indicator has its own strengths and weaknesses, but by combining them, the MICS can provide a more comprehensive view of the market.
For example, Stochastic and RSI are commonly used to measure overbought and oversold conditions, while MACD and EMA are used to identify trend direction. DMI, on the other hand, is used to gauge the strength of a trend, while Bollinger Bands can be used to identify potential breakouts.
By combining the signals from these indicators, the MICS can provide traders with a more nuanced view of the market, allowing them to make better-informed trading decisions, quickly!
How They Work Together:
The MICS generates signals by analyzing the input from each individual indicator.
If the indicators show a bullish trend, the MICS will display this by showing the indicators you selected in the settings with green long arrows, indicating a potential long trade.
Conversely, if the indicators show a bearish trend, the MICS will display red short arrows, indicating a potential short trade.
In addition, the MICS uses a unique price action signal generated solely based on recent price movement, calculated using an algorithm that analyzes the strength of recent price action.
This price action signal is a distinguishing feature of the MICS and complements the signals generated by the pre-existing technical indicators.
What Makes the MICS Original?
What makes the MICS unique is its emphasis on providing a clutter-free charting experience.
By displaying only clear long and short signals directly on the chart based on your own selection in the settings, the MICS eliminates the need to have multiple indicators cluttering the screen, allowing traders to concentrate on making informed decisions, quickly!
This price action signal is a also unique feature that sets the MICS apart from other technical indicators.
Anchored Three Sigma RangeThis indicator serves to display the standard deviation model based on open price from the selected anchored timeframe. Per statistics the price may stay within the three sigma range most of the time, most significantly within first sigma range 68% of the time.
If price breaks the statistical probabilities and out of the three sigma range entirely it could be considered anomalous and perhaps useful for trade planning, use the fib extensions in various ways to have dynamic profit targets, support or resistance.
How is this different
This indicator differs from others in that I've not really seen any others generating solely horizontal levels, anchored from open price and including fib extensions.
How to use
To use this indicator add to the chart, select anchor timeframe, fib display mode and adjust style to liking. Depending on trade plans use the range breaks, consolidations or fib extensions as required.
One could utilize range consolidation for advanced options neutral trades, range breaks for scalping directionally or high fib extensions for rejection based trades. Based on timeframe anchorage there could be some really amazing combinations for any style of trading, comment any unique findings!
What markets
This indicator can be used on anything that has a price :D
Conditions
Any condition is applicable.
Liquidity Grab ReversalIndicator looks for liquidity grab & reversal trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistances, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area) and then price should go fast to the opposite side. This behaviour can be called reversal after liquidity grab. If we want to participate in the reversal we can put stop order at high of the candle that grabbed the support/liquidity if it is long liquidity grab or at low of the candle that grabbed the resistance/liquidity if it is short liquidity grab. These entry points are represented by solid lines. Stoplosses can be placed to the local maximum/minimum created after liquidity grab - so if entry is at high of the liquidity grab candle then stoploss can be put at low of the structure created after liquidity grab.
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short liquidity grabs are shown. Long liquidity grabs are green and short ones are red.
You can adjust core settings of the indicator:
Liquidity H/Ls Look Back/Forward Period: For PIVOT HIGH there has to be X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the left and X (by default 1) candle/s lower to the right and vice versa for PIVOT LOW,
Liquidity Grab by Close or High/Low.
Option ScalperWhat is Scalping?
Scalping is a trading strategy aimed at profiting from quick momentum in a volatile index or stock or any other instrument that can be traded.
Traders who use such strategies place anywhere from 10 to a few hundred trades in a single day.
The idea behind such type of trading is that small moves in an index or stock price are much easier to capture than the larger moves.
Traders who use such strategies are known as scalpers. When you take many small profits a number of times, say 10 points scalped 20 times per day, they can easily add up to large gains.
An Option Buyer's Biggest Enemy is Time Decay and when you scalp, you do not allow the time decay to eat your Option Premium as your Entry and Exit is often quick enough.
What is Option Scalper?
Option Scalper indicator is a momentum-based indicator that tries to detect momentum based upon a number of factors as given below:
(1) Price action accumulated over a period of time when big candles are nowhere
(2) Repeatedly Occurring, certain Candle patterns which indicate if buyers have the upper hand or sellers are ruling the market.
(3) Gradient of moving averages which shows consistency of net buying/selling force
(4) Price jumping normal distribution line and landing in outlying areas, signalling increasing momentum of buying/selling activity.
Based upon the above factors, when Option Scalper thinks a move has the potential to turn into a big move, it generates its Buy/Sell Signals.
When aggressive buying or selling starts where Buying & Selling Forces become unequal, the Price starts moving in one direction with candles making Higher Highs or Lower Lows, moving average lines start scaling up or down or volumes start increasing.
Option Scalper detects these (1) Higher Highs or Lower Lows, (2) scaling up moving average lines, and/or (3) price breaking out of channels; and generates Buy or Sell signals.
In order to use this indicator, simply deploy this on your chart, and wait for Buy/Sell signals. When a Buy/Sell Signal appears, a small line starts forming up at the closing level of Buy/Sell signal candle. Your Entry will be above that line for Buy Signal and below that line for Sell Signal.
It works on all time frames.
Whenever a Buy Signal is followed by Sell signal (let it be after 7 - 8 candles or after many candles) or vice-versa, you have to switch your position to make most of the reverse move.
It is a general purpose indicator and may be used on stocks, commodities, forex and any other instruments alike and is not meant for any specific market.
How to Take Buy/Sell Entry with Option Scalper?
Whenever a Buy/Sell Signal appears on a candle, Option Scalper starts marking its closing price with a horizontal line that keeps extending towards right side with every new candle. This line is Blue in Color for Buy Signal and dark golden color for Sell Signal.
Initially this horizontal line will be very small but as more and more candles appear with the passage of time, the length of the line keeps increasing.
The purpose of this line is to mark the closing price of Signal candle and you have to take your Buy Entry above this line (if last signal is BUY) or you have to take your trade Below this line (if last signal is SELL).
The indicator will also draw another line at the Opening Price of Signal Candle, which can act as your initial stop loss. If trade starts moving in your direction and price goes above upper variance line (light green curvy line) or goes below lower variance line (purple wavy line), then that line becomes your trailing stop loss line from that point onwards.
The indicator also marks the consolidation zone for you. If the Buy/Sell Signal has come but price is in consolidation zone (grey colour cloud), do not take any positions yet and wait for the price to come out of the cloud and breach the Entry Line.
Exiting Buy/Sell Positions and Re-Entry Rules
1. Exiting your Buy Trade: When a Buy Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing upmove may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (RED COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Red Color X symbol, if price starts making lower lows, you can exit your Buy Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go below upper variance line (the green color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Buy Trade). See the image below for Red Color X symbol which warns you to be prepared for EXIT from Buy Trade:
2. Re-Entry for Buy Trade: If the last signal on your chart is still Buy Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in buy trade if and when price again climbs above the grey cloud.
3. Exiting your Sell Trade: When a Sell Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing down-move may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (Green COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Green Color X symbol, if price starts making higher highs, you can exit your Sell Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go above lower variance line (the purple color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Sell Trade).
4. Re-Entry for Sell Trade: If the last signal on your chart is Sell Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in Sell trade if and when price again crosses below the grey color cloud.
See the image below for recognizing Red and Green X symbols which indicate that temporary retracement or reversal signal is developing:
What are the other features of Option Scalper?
1. End to End Horizontal Support/Resistance Lines: Indicator also detects, prints and deletes horizontal support and resistance lines which can help in your trading decisions. For example, a Buy Signal comes and price crosses above upper variance line and also crosses nearby horizontal resistance line means it has higher probability of moving further up. The reverse is also true (for Sell Signal). See an example of a resistance line below:
2. Star Symbols: If 5 or more consecutive candles are of the same color, then Star Symbol (*) starts appearing above or below the candles. When price has moved too high or too low from the upper or lower variance line, these stars indicate that there is higher probability of retracement happening now which should prompt you to book full or partial profit. See the circled stars in the below image
3. Color Changing Candles: If a candle changes its color from Red to Purple or from Green to light green, they indicate increased intensity of Selling or Buying activity. For example, if each 1 min candle within a 5 min candle is red, then that 5 min candle will turn purple which means Selling pressure is too much and there are very few or no buyers at all. Reverse is also true when Green Candle becomes Light Green. Example images of such candles can be seen below:
4. Consolidation Zone: It is very important for an option buyer to strike only when there is momentum and not to take any fresh trade (or if you already have a position, then closing it for the time being) when price is in consolidation zone. Consolidation zone is marked by a grey colour cloud as seen in below image.
What Type of Alerts Can be Set up: You can set up 3 type of alerts with this indicator (a) Buy Entry Signal which happens when Price closes above the marked Buy Price Level (b) Sell Signal which happens when Price closes below the marked Sell Price Level or (c) Any signal (if you want to be alerted when either Buy or Sell Signal happens)

Jdawg TDI with Shark FinsThe "Jdawg TDI with Shark Fins" (JTDI Shark Fins) is a visually enhanced version of the Traditional Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) that focuses on aiding traders in identifying potential trading opportunities in any market.
At its core, the TDI is a momentum-based indicator that uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in combination with moving averages to highlight potential overbought and oversold conditions, which could signal opportunities to buy or sell. In simple terms, when an asset is overbought, it could be due for a price drop, and when it's oversold, the price might soon rise.
What makes the JTDI Shark Fins unique is the addition of color-coded "Shark Fins". These are key moments when the Fast Moving Average (Fast MA) or Slow Moving Average (Slow MA) lines move outside the upper or lower Bollinger Bands (the blue lines).
When a line moves outside these bands, it's often an indication that the price is making a strong move in that direction. However, because these moments are typically short-lived, they're referred to as "Shark Fins". In the JTDI, these periods are marked with color changes:
Fast MA turns purple when it forms a "Shark Fin". This line typically responds quicker to price changes.
Slow MA turns red when it forms a "Shark Fin". This line is slower to react to price changes, providing a more steady view of the market's momentum.
Additionally, the Slow MA will turn orange when it exceeds the overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) thresholds, indicating strong momentum in that direction.
How to Use:
When the Fast MA (black line) turns purple (indicating a Shark Fin), it's a warning signal to pay attention as a potential significant price move might be occurring.
If the Slow MA (green line) turns red, it indicates a more sustained move in the price direction is happening.
An orange Slow MA indicates a very strong price move in that direction.
Use these signals in conjunction with other aspects of your trading strategy to confirm potential trading opportunities.
Market Suitability:
The beauty of the JTDI Shark Fins indicator is its versatility. It can be applied to any market that can be charted and where price movements create periods of overbought or oversold conditions. This includes but is not limited to Forex, Cryptocurrencies, Equities (stocks), Commodities, and even Indices.
Remember, while this indicator can provide valuable insights, it should not be used in isolation. Always consider other factors like market news, economic indicators, and other technical analysis tools when making trading decisions.
Volume Support and Resistance*In a cutting system, from the lowest price of the red momentum to the highest price of the green momentum of the range of candles, cuts of different heights are created and the volume of transactions is calculated.
*Volumes in red and green candles each layer are calculated separately.
*The start of the candles can be from a candle other than zero.
*The maximum number of cuts for support or resistance will be separate and user-opinionated. This will help us see the most accurate support or resistance independently and quickly.
*The layer that has (1) the highest volume ratio of green to red, (2) the lowest number of red candles and (3) the highest number of green candles is considered as the best resistance and vice versa as the best support. Therefore, by changing the maximum number of cuts, we should look for the largest ratio of green to red volume for resistance and vice versa for support.
*If the current price is in the range of the momentum candle, the distance of the highest or lowest price of the momentum to hlc3 of the momentum candle will be checked.
*if you get an error message (> 500ms), reduce high_slice or loockback.
*Trading volume is formatted because it varies from very small to very large numbers in different markets and time periods.

Gann Price LevelsGann Price Level is a powerful indicator based on the methods of the legendary trader William D. Gann. It provides traders with the ability to forecast future targets, both trending and retracement, based on just three anchor points and generates clear entry signals in the form of arrows. This indicator offers broad capabilities that assist traders in making informed decisions and optimizing their trading strategies. Here are a few key features of this indicator:
Calculation of future targets: Gann Price Level allows traders to determine potential price levels that may be reached in the future. It is based on the concept of geometric levels and numerical relationships, making it an effective tool for forecasting future price movements. Its algorithm incorporates geometry, mathematics, and Gann's angular relationships.
Three-point approach: One of the main advantages of Gann Price Level is its ability to work with only three anchor points. Traders need to specify three (ABC) points forming a triangle, and the indicator automatically calculates the target price levels. This simplifies the analysis process and makes it more intuitive.
Entry signals: In addition to forecasting target levels, Gann Price Level provides clear entry signals in the form of arrows. This helps traders identify optimal moments to enter positions, improving the accuracy of their trades.
Timeframes: Gann Price Level can be applied to various time intervals, including both short-term and long-term charts. This allows traders to adapt the indicator to their trading strategies and trade across different markets.
Versatility: Gann Price Level can be used to analyze various financial instruments, including stocks, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and more. This makes it a versatile tool for traders operating in different market segments.
Another key feature of this indicator is the additional level calculation algorithm, which, when working with a trend, forms an optimal gray zone for forming point C, while when calculating retracement levels, it adds an additional magnetic target in the form of a gray zone.
Additionally, traders can combine this indicator with other indicators or chart patterns to obtain more accurate signals and confirmations. Moreover, Gann Price Level works effectively in both upward and downward trends, making it a flexible tool for traders of different trading styles. It can be used to determine potential support and resistance levels, as well as entry and exit points for positions.
Working with this indicator is straightforward. The user needs to select three (ABC) points forming a triangle, and the indicator will automatically calculate the future price targets. An entry arrow will also appear, enabling the user to enter the trade in a timely manner. The stop loss is placed slightly below point C (at the spread distance) for buy trades and above point C (at the spread distance) for sell trades. The first target is represented by a dashed line. Once this target is reached, a portion of the position (usually 50%) is closed, and the stop loss is moved to breakeven. The remaining part of the position is held until subsequent price levels based on personal preferences.
Construction rules:
When calculating targets in an upward trend, point A is below points BC, and point C is always between points AB.
When calculating targets in a downward trend, point A is above points BC, and point C is always between points AB.
When calculating retracement targets in an upward trend, point B is above points AC, point A is always between points BC, and point C is below AB.
When calculating retracement targets in a downward trend, point B is below points AC, point A is always between points BC, and point C is above AB.
This indicator relies entirely on the manual construction of the ABC points by the user.
RD Opening Range/Initial BalanceIntroducing the RD Opening Range/Initial Balance indicator. The opening range is the first 60 minutes of trading action for a given day (High, Mid, and Low).
The market tends to put significance in these levels, that's why we use them in our trade system.
There is also a data panel:
Today - Today's opening range value
W-Avg - This weeks average
20D CA-OH - the total number of closes above the opening range over the last 20 days (above high)
20D CA-OL - the total number of closes below the opening range over the last 20 days (below low)
* We do plan to add additional data points.
* Only the last OR has labels, we will not be adding them or an option in the future.
* Full customization in setting panel. Color of lines, background, no display of data panel and more.
How to Use
These levels act as dual magnets. They both attract price and repel price.
You use price action and rules to decipher if price is being attracted or repelled.
You will notice as you use this indicator that price respects these levels. Often when answering the 3Qs one of these levels is in play.
During the cash market these levels play a significant role in price action. Even during the Globex/Overnight session these levels are a factor.
Circle areas are examples of price reactions at OR key levels:
If you trade with the RDTS you already know how to use these levels as reaction and target zones.
For clues on which level price is being repelled or attracted I'd suggest you utilize bias and momentum indicators like the RDA.
Initial Balance vs Opening Range
Before we move on and discuss how to use this indicator I want to mention what I consider the difference between the Opening Range and the Initial Balance.
I've adopted the Opening Range verbiage for the first 60 minutes of trading even though the Opening Range is often defined as the first 15m or first 30m.
The more accurate term for the first 60m should be Initial Balance. I'm not sure exactly where this originated but I learned this term when I was heavily trading TPO-- the IB is the first 2 30m blocks of trading.
Any questions or improvements just comment below.

ICT HTF Liquidity Levels /w Alert [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on sbtnc's "HTF Liquidity Levels". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 3 functions: visualization of HTF liquidity (with alert), candle color change when displacement occurs, and MSB (market structure break) line display.
=== Function description ===
1. HTF liquidity (with alert)
Lines visualize the liquidity pools on the HTF bars. Alerts can be set for each TF's line.
Once the price reaches the line, the line is repaint.
To put it plainly, the old line disappears and a new line appears. The line that disappeared remains as a purged line. (It is also possible to hide the purged line with a parameter)
The alert will be triggered at the moment the line disappears. An alert will be issued when you touch the HTF's liquid pools where the loss is accumulated, so you can notice the stop hunting with the alert.
This alert is an original feature of this indicator.
The timeframe of the HTF can't modify. You can get Monthly, weekly, daily and H1 and H4.
Each timeframe displays the 3 most recent lines. By narrowing it down to 3, it is devised to make it easier to see visually. (This indicator original)
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candle stick or bearish candle stick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
3. MSB (market structure break)
Displays High/Low lines for the period specified by the parameter. It is useful for discovering BoS & CHoCH/MSS, which are important in ICT trading.

上位足流動性の可視化（アラート付き）、変位発生時のローソク色変更、MSB(market structure break)ライン表示の３つの機能を有します。
＜機能説明＞
■上位足流動性の可視化
上位足の流動性の吹き溜まり（ストップが溜まっているところ）をラインで可視化します。ラインにはアラートを設定することが可能です。
一度価格がラインに到達するとそのラインは再描画されます。
平たく言うと、今までのラインが消えて新しいラインが出現する。という事です。
消えたラインはpurgeラインとして残ります。（パラメータでpurgeラインを非表示にすることも可能です）
アラートはラインが消える瞬間に発報します。上位足の損切り溜まってるところにタッチするとアラートを発報するので、アラートにてストップ狩りに気づくことができます。
このアラート発報については本インジケータオリジナルの機能となります。
表示可能な上位足のタイムフレームは固定です。月足、週足、日足およびH1とH4を表示することができます。
各タイムフレーム、直近から3つのラインを表示します。3つに絞ることで視覚的に見やすく工夫しています。（本インジケータオリジナル）
■変位発生時のローソク色変更
大きな陽線、陰線を付けた場合に、そのローソク足をカラー表示を変更します。
さらに"Require FVG"オプションを有効にすることで、FVG（Fair Value Gap）を容易に発見することができます。ICTトレードにを行うにあたり大変有用な機能となっています。

Predictive Pivot Points based on Technicals Did this indicator as an experiment for fun and it actually works pretty well!
What it does?
Well, Pivot Points (PP) are useful but delayed. So the premise of this indicator is pretty simple. It stores variables from previous Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows (RSI, MFI, Stochastics and volume) and then looks for like circumstances to trigger early pivot alerts based on historic pivot traits.
And that's pretty much it.
It also acts as a normal pivot indicator, but it will display the data that is being logged. You can see in the chart above but here is another image:
How to use it?
So, there are a lot of inputs. First off, you can customize the data you want stored, in terms of the RSI, MFI and Stochastic source and length.
You can then set the thresholds for triggering. The default threshold is +/- 2. That means, it will look for similarities within +/- 2 of the previous pivot points.
You can then select to see each individual technical to signal pivots. That means, it will look at RSI, MFI, Stochastic and Volume in isolation to trigger early pivot signals. See the image below:
In the image above, you can see it signaling pivots based on individual technical readouts from RSI, to Stochastics and MFI and Volume.
If you want it to be a bit more strict, you can have it only trigger when all 3 (MFI, Stochastics and RSI) are similar. Note that volume has been excluded in the identical instances:
In the image above, you will see it triggers based on all 3 being similar. Note that when you select this option, you will get a lot less signals but more rigorous signals.
Final thoughts:
That is basically the indicator in a nut shell. Its pretty self explanatory.
If you have any specific questions feel free to leave them below.
Thanks for checking this out and safe trades!
4H RangeThis script visualizes certain key values based on a 4-hour timeframe of the selected market on the chart. These values include the High, Mid, and Low price levels during each 4-hour period.
These levels can be helpful to identify inside range price action, chop, and consolidation. They can sometimes act as pivots and can be a great reference for potential entries and exits if price continues to hold the same range.
Here's a step-by-step overview of what this indicator does:
1. Inputs: At the beginning of the script, users are allowed to customize some inputs:
Choose the color of lines and labels.
Decide whether to show labels on the chart.
Choose the size of labels ("tiny", "small", "normal", or "large").
Choose whether to display price values in labels.
Set the number of bars to offset the labels to the right.
Set a threshold for the number of ticks that triggers a new calculation of high, mid, and low values.
* Tick settings may need to be increased on equity charts as one tick is usually equal to one cent.
For example, if you want to clear the range when there is a close one point/one dollar above or below the range high/low then on ES
that would be 4 ticks but one whole point on AAPL would be 100 ticks. 100 ticks on an equity chart may or may not be ideal due to
different % change of 100 ticks might be too excessive depending on the price per share.
So be aware that user preferred thresholds can vary greatly depending on which chart you're using.
2. Retrieving Price Data: The script retrieves the high, low, and closing price for every 4-hour period for the current market.
The script also calculates the mid-price of each 4-hour period (the average of the high and low prices).
3. Line Drawing: At the start of the script (first run), it draws three lines (high, mid, and low) at the levels corresponding to the high,
mid, and low prices. Users can also change transparency settings on historical lines to view them. Default setting for historical lines
is for them to be hidden.
4. Updating Lines and Labels: For each subsequent 4-hour period, the script checks whether the close price of the period has gone
beyond a certain threshold (set by user input) above the previous high or below the previous low. If it has, the script deletes the
previous lines and labels, draws new lines at the new high, mid, and low levels, and creates new labels (if the user has opted to
show labels).
5. Displaying Values in the Data Window: In addition to the visual representation on the chart, the script also plots the high, mid, and
low prices. These plotted values appear in the Data Window of TradingView, allowing users to see the exact price levels even when
they're not directly labeled on the chart.
6. Updating Lines and Labels Position: At the end of each period, the script moves the lines and labels (if they're shown) to the right,
keeping them aligned with the current period.
Please note: This script operates based on a 4-hour timeframe, regardless of the timeframe selected on the chart. If a shorter timeframe is selected on the chart, the lines and labels will appear to extend across multiple bars because they represent 4-hour price levels. If a longer timeframe is selected, the lines and labels may not accurately represent high, mid, and low levels within that longer timeframe.
Demand & Supply Zone Scoring: Rally Base & Drop ConceptDemand & Supply Zone Scoring Indicator
The Demand & Supply Zone Scoring indicator is designed to calculate the Trade Strength Score based on the concepts of demand and supply zones, specifically RBR (Rally Base Rally), RBD (Rally Base Drop), DBD (Drop Base Drop), and DBR (Drop Base Rally).
The Demand & Supply Zone Scoring indicator is specifically designed to facilitate a top-down approach with multiple timeframe analysis. It considers the higher timeframe (HTF) for curve analysis, intermediate timeframes (ITF) for trend analysis, and lower timeframes (LTF) for zone-specific analysis.
The indicator provides a table displayed on the chart, offering valuable information for analysis. Let's go through each row of the table:
1. Location:
This row represents the analysis of the curve on the higher time frame (HTF) to identify key levels. It determines whether the price is in a retail area (high on the curve) or a wholesale area (low on the curve). Trading within the wholesale area is considered a strong sign.
2. Trend:
This row focuses on the intermediate time frame (ITF) trend. It indicates whether the trend is upward or downward. If the ITF trend is up and you intend to buy, it suggests a strong point.
3. Achievement:
This row analyzes the achievement of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It considers whether the leg-out candle or follow-through candles of the zone have broken any opposite side zone or pivot level. A breakout in the opposite direction is seen as an excellent point.
4. Strength:
This row assesses the strength of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF) where the trade is planned. It looks at the strength of the leg-out candle, such as whether it's a gap candle, an exciting candle, or a candle with follow-through. A strong leg-out candle indicates an excellent point.
5. Time:
This row evaluates the time spent by base candles inside the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It considers the number of base candles and the duration spent in the zone. Typically, 1 to 3 base candles are seen as strong, while more than 6 base candles receive 0 points.
6. Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RR):
This row focuses on the Risk-to-Reward (RR) ratio of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF) where the trade is planned. It compares the potential reward to the risk. A higher RR ratio, such as 1:3 or greater, is considered excellent.
7. Freshness:
This row analyzes the freshness of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It indicates whether the zone is new or has been tested multiple times. A fresh zone or one that has been tested only once is preferable.
Furthermore, it's important to mention that you have the flexibility to customize the text for each parameter according to your specific requirements. The table is designed to be fully customizable, allowing you to adapt the wording to your preferences and trading strategy.
This customization feature ensures that the indicator aligns with your personal trading approach and makes it easier for you to interpret and analyze the information provided in the table.
Additionally, please note that only the total score is displayed in the table on the chart by default. This is to avoid any visibility issues caused by displaying all the parameters. However, if you wish to see all the parameters in the table on the chart, you can easily enable them through the settings.
By enabling the parameters, you will have a comprehensive view of each factor's contribution to the Trade Strength Score directly on the chart.
By utilizing this indicator, calculating the Trade Strength Score becomes easier, providing a comprehensive analysis of various factors that influence trading decisions.
This indicator is developed by Afnan Tajuddin to assist fellow traders in conducting a top-down approach in an effective and efficient manner.

Base Finder DailyThe Base Finder Daily is the companion tool to the original Base Finder which is used to identify consolidation periods in a stock's advance. The Base Finder Daily allows traders to zoom in from the weekly chart and get a more precise view of the daily price action during a basing period.
Base Finder Daily identifies three different types of bases (Flat Base, High Tight Flag, Consolidation) and provides key information about the consolidation such as the depth, length, and pivot point. This information allows traders to compare and analyze the best basing patterns quickly and easily.
This tool helps traders of all levels train their eye to identify potential trading opportunities that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Base Finder is a must-have tool for any trader, especially those that have studied the work of William O’Neil. Base Finder stacks up base for base with MarketSmith.
Easily customize the settings, from the look to the intricacies of a consolidation.
Default base settings:
Flat Base
length: 25 days minimum
depth: <= 15%
High Tight Flag
Flag Pole: up 80% or more in less than 40 days
Flag: Less than 25% correction in 10-20 days
Consolidation:
length: minimum 30 days
depth: <= 35%
Notes
This indicator is meant to be used on the daily timeframe.
In order to see the stats labels hover your mouse over the left side high of the consolidation and please make sure the indicator is brought to the front using the visual order of your chart. If the visual order is not correct you will not be able to see the stats label.

SMI Momentum Bollinger Squeeze Signals - TradeUIMomentum Bollinger Squeeze Signals - TradeUI
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) uses the principles of the Squeeze Indicator, which is a volatility indicator, and combines them with a momentum calculation to provide a more comprehensive view of the market.
The original Squeeze Indicator uses the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify periods of low volatility, known as "Squeezes", and potential breakout points. The SMI takes this one step further by adding a momentum calculation, making it a more dynamic tool for trading.
The momentum calculation is based on the rate of change of the asset's price. When the price increases rapidly, it signifies positive momentum, and when the price decreases rapidly, it signifies negative momentum.
Dual Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement — Long and Short Duration
Title : "The Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script: An Advanced Tool for Comprehensive Market Analysis"
As the author of the "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script", I am delighted to introduce you to this cutting-edge tool for technical analysis. Unlike conventional Fibonacci scripts, this advanced model incorporates multiple unique features and adjustments that make it a powerful asset for any market analyst. Whether you're dealing with forex, commodities, equities or any other market, this script is versatile enough to enhance your trading strategy.
Uniqueness & Differentiation:
The "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Script" stands out by offering two distinct lookback periods. This feature is what separates it from other scripts available in the market. The first lookback period is longer, focusing on capturing broader market trends. The second lookback period is shorter, allowing for a more granular analysis of near-term market fluctuations. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive view of the market, allowing you to see both the forest and the trees at the same time.
Fibonacci Levels:
While offering the standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0), the script also gives you the ability to plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels. These additional levels offer an extra layer of depth to your analysis, and can prove crucial in high-volatility markets where they often serve as significant support and resistance points.
Customizable Line Shifts and Extends:
This script provides options for customization of the shift and extension of the plotted lines. This means you can adjust the start and end points of the Fibonacci lines according to your personal trading style and strategy. This level of personalization is not typically available in other scripts, and it allows for a more tailored visual representation.
Flexible Trading Positioning:
Depending on whether the closing price is above or below the midpoint of the pivot high and pivot low, the Fibonacci retracement levels are adjusted accordingly. This ensures the script remains relevant and useful regardless of market conditions.
Clean Visualization:
To prevent clutter and maintain focus on the most relevant price action, the script removes old Fibonacci lines and plots new ones once a new pivot high or low is identified. This clean visualization helps keep your analysis focused and sharp.
How to Use the Script:
To get started, simply adjust the lookback periods according to your trading strategy. If you're a long-term investor or prefer swing trading, a longer lookback period might be appropriate. Conversely, if you're a day trader, a shorter lookback period might be more beneficial.
The "Shift" and "Extend" inputs allow you to control the positioning of the Fibonacci lines on your chart. Positive values shift the lines to the right, while negative values shift them to the left.
You also have the choice to plot the additional Fibonacci levels (0.114 and 0.886) via the "Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels?" input. Similarly, the "Plot second set of levels?" input lets you decide whether to display the second set of Fibonacci levels derived from the shorter lookback period.
Like any technical analysis tool, this script is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators and methods of analysis. It is designed to work well in trending markets, where Fibonacci retracements can often indicate potential reversal levels. However, it's always recommended to use a holistic approach to market analysis to maximize the likelihood of successful trades.
Note: the two lines drawn on the chart are there to help the user identify the levels from which the two respective Fib sequences are calculated.

Input Explanations:
Long Period Pivot High/Low Lookback and Short Period Pivot High/Low Lookback : These settings determine the length of the lookback periods for the long-term and short-term pivot points, respectively. A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot points are then used to calculate the Fibonacci levels. A longer lookback period will identify pivot points over a broader time frame, capturing major market trends, while a shorter lookback period will identify pivot points over a narrower time frame, capturing more immediate market movements.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Shift and Short Period Fibonacci Level Shift : These inputs control the shift of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the right, increase the value. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the left, decrease the value. This allows you to adjust the Fibonacci levels to better align with your analysis.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Extend and Short Period Fibonacci Level Extend : These inputs control the extension of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend further to the right, increase the value. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend less to the right, decrease the value. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the length of the Fibonacci levels according to your personal trading preferences and strategy.
Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels? : This setting gives you the ability to plot the additional 0.114 and 0.886 Fibonacci levels. These levels provide extra depth to your analysis, particularly in highly volatile markets where they can act as significant support and resistance levels.
Plot second set of levels? : This input allows you to decide whether to plot the second set of Fibonacci levels based on the short lookback period. Displaying this second set of levels can provide a more granular view of market movements and potential reversal points, enhancing your overall analysis.
DB Support Resistance LevelsDB Support Resistance Levels
This indicator plots historic lines for high, low and close prices. The settings allow up to 3 periods to be configured based on the current timeframe. Users can toggle the display of high, low or close values for each period along with customizing the period line color. The indicator does not use the security function. Instead, it's designed to use a period multiplier. Each period allows the user to configure a lookback length and multiplier.
For Example on Weekly
A period lookback of 12 with a multiplier value of 12 on weekly would produce historic high, low and close lines for the last 12 weeks.
A period lookback of 10 with a multiplier value of 4 on weekly would produce historic high, low and close lines for the last 4, 4-week months.
A period lookback of 8 with a multiplier value of 13 on weekly would produce historic high, low and close lines for the last 8, 13-week quarters.
Why not use security with higher timeframe?
The goal was to have the lines start at the precise high, low and close points for the current chart timeframe to allow the user to visually trace the start of the line.
What else does this do?
This indicator also plots the pivot points using TradingView's built-in "pivot_point_levels" feature.
How should I use this indicator?
Traders may use this indicator to gain a visual reference of support and resistance levels from higher periods of time. You can then compare these historic levels against the pivot point levels. In most cases, historic high, low and close levels act as support and resistance levels which can be helpful for judging future market pivot points.
Additional Notes
This indicator does increase the max total lines allowed which may impact performance depending on device specs. No alerts or signals for now. Perhaps coming soon...
Supply and DemandThis is a "Supply and Demand" script designed to help traders spot potential levels of supply (resistance) and demand (support) in the market by identifying pivot points from past price action.
Differences from Other Scripts:
Unlike many pivot point scripts, this one offers a greater degree of customization and flexibility, allowing users to determine how many ranges of pivot points they wish to plot (up to 10), as well as the number of the most recent ranges to display.
Furthermore, it allows users to restrict the plotting of pivot points to specific timeframes (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and daily) using a toggle input. This is useful for traders who wish to focus on these popular trading timeframes.
This script also uses the color.new function for a more transparent plotting, which is not commonly used in many scripts.
How to Use:
The script provides two user inputs:
"Number of Ranges to Plot (1-10)": This determines how many 10-bar ranges of pivot points the script will calculate and potentially plot.
"Number of Last Ranges to Show (1-?)": This determines how many of the most recent ranges will be displayed on the chart.
"Limit to specific timeframes?": This is a toggle switch. When turned on, the script only plots pivot points if the current timeframe is one of the following: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, or daily.
The pivot points are plotted as circles on the chart, with pivot highs in red and pivot lows in green. The transparency level of these plots can be adjusted in the script.
Market and Conditions:
This script is versatile and can be used in any market, including Forex, commodities, indices, or cryptocurrencies. It's best used in trending markets where supply and demand levels are more likely to be respected. However, like all technical analysis tools, it's not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to confirm signals and manage risk.
A technical analyst, or technician, uses chart patterns and indicators to predict future price movements. The "Supply and Demand" script in question can be an invaluable tool for a technical analyst for the following reasons:
Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : The pivot points plotted by this script can act as potential levels of support and resistance. When the price of an asset approaches these pivot points, it might bounce back (in case of support) or retreat (in case of resistance). These levels can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit points.
Timeframe Analysis : The ability to limit the plotting of pivot points to specific timeframes is useful for multiple timeframe analysis. For instance, a trader might use a longer timeframe to determine the overall trend and a shorter one to decide the optimal entry and exit points.
Customization : The user inputs provided by the script allow a technician to customize the ranges of pivot points according to their unique trading strategy. They can choose the number of ranges to plot and the number of the most recent ranges to display on the chart.
Confirmation of Other Indicators : If a pivot point coincides with a signal from another indicator (for instance, a moving average crossover or a relative strength index (RSI) divergence), it could provide further confirmation of that signal, increasing the chances of a successful trade.
Transparency in Plots : The use of the color.new function allows for more transparent plotting. This feature can prevent the chart from becoming too cluttered when multiple ranges of pivot points are plotted, making it easier for the analyst to interpret the data.
In summary, this script can be used by a technical analyst to pinpoint potential trading opportunities, validate signals from other indicators, and customize the display of pivot points to suit their individual trading style and strategy. Always remember, however, that no single indicator should be used in isolation, and effective risk management strategies should always be employed.
Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v3 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots the closest "round" price levels above and below current price, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
The calculation done here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law .
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
IMPORTANT: Please enable "Scale price chart only" in the chart's scale's options, as otherwise major levels may make the chart's scale very small and hard to read.
How it works
At any time, there are 3 levels of strength (1 leftmost digit, 2 leftmost digits, 3 leftmost digits) represented by different sizes, and 3 directional levels for each of these strengths (level above, level below, and half-level) represented by different colors and positions, around current price.
Indeed, contrary to other similar price levels scripts, we do not plot ALL price levels at all times, because otherwise the chart becomes wayyy too cluttered, and also it's highly processing intensive to plot so many lines. So we here use a dynamical approach: we plot only the relevant levels, the closest ones according to current price.
Hence, when a level disappears, it does not mean that it does not exist anymore, but simply that we are not drawing it right now because it is not pertinent for the current price movement (ie, too far away).
Breakouts can be detected in two different ways depending on if SMA is set to a value higher than 1 or not: if SMA == 1, then there is no smoothing, so the levels adapt instantaneously to the current price, so to detect breakout, you should refer to the levels at the previous tick and whether they were broken by current tick's price; if SMA > 1, then there is some smoothing, and so the levels will stay in-place even if there is a breakout, so it's easier to spot breakouts without having to look at the previous ticks, but on the other hand you won't see the new levels for the new price range until after a few more ticks for the smoothing window to adapt. Hence, by default, smoothing is disabled, so that you can see the currently pertinent levels at all time, even right after or during a breakout.
By default, the strong above level is in green, strong below level is in red, medium above level is in blue, medium below level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the above/below/half levels relatively to the current price.
Indeed, "half-levels" are also displayed (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This was made because otherwise the gap between two levels was too big, especially for the strongest levels (eg, there was no major level between 20000 and 30000, but with a half-step we also get a half-level at 25000, and empirically price tends to respect these half levels - I also tried quarter levels but empirically the results were not good). In addition to this hard-coded half-level, you can also create more subdivisions (eg, quarter levels) by setting the simple moving average to a value higher than 1.
The script can be made to run on the daily timeframe whatever the current chart's timeframe is, to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement. But by default, the chart resolution is used, because I empirically found that the levels found with this indicator work on all time resolutions quite well.
The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
How to read
Focust first on bigger dotted levels, they are stronger and more likely to cause a rebound or a major event or price to stay at this level.
Remember that it's not enough to just look at levels, the context is important, because levels have various effects depending on current price movement: if price is above a level, the level is a support on which price can rebound; if price is below a level, the level is a resistance on which price can rebound (or break); and finally sometimes price also stays hovering around a level for some time.
Levels closer to 9 are less weaker, and levels closer to 0 are stronger, according to Zipf law. This is now reflected since v3 in the transparency, levels that are closer to 9 will be more transparent.
The switch in color for the same level illustrates how a level switches from being a support to a resistance and inversely. Eg, if a major level turns from green to red, then it changed from being a resistance (above) to a support (below).
As is well known in trading, longer standing levels are stronger. This indicator provides a direct illustration: in practice, the number of consecutive dots on the same line influences the strength of the level: the longer the chain of dots, the more you can expect this price level to be significant. The length does not mean the level will necessarily hold, but that other traders are likely to monitor if it holds, and if not then price will break down. Hence, longer levels are good spots to place stop losses, or to enter trades depending on your strategy. In general, a single dot is not enough to consider a level significant, but 2 or more is a good enough level, and 10+ is a strong level. Intuitively, this makes sense, and is what pro traders do: the longer a level is tested, the stronger it is. This indicator can visually represent this intuition and allows to use it as a more systematic trading signal.

I initially made the first version of the PsychoLevels indicator mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Personally, although initially I did not believe an automated tool would work well for this purpose, I could now empirically verify that it is quite reliable for the purpose of detecting levels, and so I use it all the time to find the levels automatically and help me monitor them like a hawk, so that I only have to draw uber major levels, the ones that last between cycles and that are hard to autodetect, but otherwise all daily/weekly levels are usually covered. However, trendlines must still be drawn manually or with another indicator (but note that up to now I have found none that worked well enough), as PsychoLevels only draws levels (ie, horizontal lines, not oblique ones!).
Differences with the previous version PsychoLevels v2
price levels now have a transparency according to their importance for the human brain: numbers closer to 9 are weaker, and numbers closer to 0 are stronger and represent a major psychological threshold (eg, that's why prices marked as $9.99 sell better than $10.00). This option can be disabled to get the exact same behavior as v2.
