Engulfing Box & LinesThe "Engulfing Box & Lines" indicator aims to spot and highlight Engulfing candlestick patterns within a trend. These patterns can provide valuable indications of a possible trend reversal, and the indicator underlines them through the use of colored rectangles and horizontal lines. To fully understand the functioning and use of this indicator, let's explore its key elements and associated strategies.
Identification of Engulfing Patterns:
The indicator focuses on detecting two types of Engulfing candles:
Bullish Engulfing: Occurs when a bullish candle (open lower than close) completely encloses the body of the previous bearish candle. This could indicate a possible upside reversal.
Bearish Engulfing: Occurs when a bearish candle (opening higher than closing) entirely engulfs the body of the previous bullish candle. This could signal a potential bearish reversal.
Using the EMA 200:
The indicator uses the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a reference to determine the position of the candles with respect to the long-term trend. When the price is above the 200 EMA, the bullish Engulfing candles are highlighted with a green box, while below the 200 EMA, red boxes are shown for the bearish Engulfing candles.
Size of Boxes and Lines:
The colored boxes represent the size of the body of the candle that caused the Engulfing. Additionally, a horizontal line is drawn close to the body of the candle, serving as the fulcrum of the indicator.
Trading Strategies:
This indicator can be used for different trading strategies:
Trend Continuation: During a positive trend, the onset of an engulfing pattern suggests a possible continuation of the trend. The horizontal lines represent potential support areas, where the price could bounce. Traders might consider buying during such bounces.
Retracements and Entries: Lines can act as support or resistance zones, depending on the trend. When the price approaches a line, a retracement could occur. Traders might move to a lower timeframe to spot entry signals, using the line as a reference.
Closing Positions: Lines could also be used to define exit levels. For example, a trader might decide to exit a position when the price approaches a resistance line.
Confirmations with Other Indicators: The indicator could be used in conjunction with other technical tools, such as oscillators or candlestick analysis, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Support
Support and Resistance Oscillator [CC]The Support and Resistance Oscillator is an experimental script I created to identify when the current price breaks a support or resistance line and reflect this value in an oscillator formula. This indicator uses a threshold to decide the dividing line between buying and selling points. Feel free to change the threshold or smoothing settings to see if you find anything better since this is so experimental. I'm double smoothing the difference between the indicator and its signal line to attempt to capture a combo of the price momentum combined with the general support and resistance levels. I have used dark colors for strong signals and lighter colors for normal signals and make sure to buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts or indicators you would like to see me publish!
Support Resistance BreakthroughThe Support Resistance Breakthrough (SRB) is a comprehensive technical indicator that aims to evaluate market strength and detect potential breakout opportunities. It integrates the following elements:
ADX (Average Directional Index): Helps measure the overall trend strength. You can adjust both the ADX length and smoothing length.
ATR (Average True Range): Provides a measure of market volatility.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the momentum and helps identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Weighting Scheme: The weighting scheme adds or subtracts a fraction of the ROC of RSI, modulated by ATR and ADX. The weighting percentage can be customized.
Normalization Option: Allows the user to plot normalized values, scaling them between 0 and 100.
Horizontal Lines: Useful reference lines at 0, 50, and 100, displayed when normalization is used.
Interpretation: When the indicator is above the 0 line (or 50 when normalized), there's a high chance of breaking through resistance. Conversely, when it's below the 0 line, there's a high chance of breaking through support. Together with a momentum indicator, such as RSI and/or Stochastic RSI, this indicator functions excellently.
The combination of these elements makes the SRB an adaptable tool for various trading strategies. It can help identify potential breakout or breakdown areas and gauge the underlying strength of the market.
Compatibility with Adjustable Fibonacci Retracement Indicator: Together with the SRB indicator, the AFIBR can make it easier to determine the likelihood of breaking through support or resistance.
Smart Money Range [ChartPrime]The Smart Money Range indicator is designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market structure, emphasizing potential key support and resistance levels within a predefined range. This indicator is not just a visually pleasing, but also a comprehensive guide to understanding the market’s dynamics at a given level.
Key Features:
Defined Range: The indicator demarcates a clear range, highlighting support and resistance levels within it. This aids in identifying potential areas of buying and selling pressure. These are derived from highly significant areas that have been touched many times before.

OrderBlock [kyleAlgo]The principle of this indicator
ATR (Average True Range) Setting: The code uses ATR to help calculate the Supertrend indicator.
Supertrend Trend Direction: Identify bullish and bearish trends with the Supertrend method.
Order Block Recognition: This part of the code recognizes and creates order blocks, visualizing them as boxes on the chart. If the number of blocks exceeds the maximum limit, old blocks will be deleted.
Function to prevent overlapping: check whether the new order block overlaps with the existing order block through the isOverlapping function.
Order block color setting: The code sets the color according to whether the block is bullish or bearish, and whether it breaks above or below. Afterwards the color of the existing order blocks will be updated.
Sensitivity settings: Through the input settings of factor and atrPeriod, the sensitivity of Supertrend and the detection of order blocks can be affected.
Visualization: Use TradingView's box.new function to draw and visualize order blocks on the chart.
Practicality:
Support and Resistance Levels: Order blocks may represent areas of support and resistance in the market. By visualizing these areas, traders can better understand when price reversals are likely to occur.
Trading Signals: Traders may be able to identify trading signals based on the color changes of blocks and price breakouts. For example, if the price breaks above a bullish block, this could be a signal to buy.
Risk Management: By using ATR to adjust the sensitivity of Supertrend, the symbol helps traders to adjust their strategies according to market volatility. This can be used as a risk management tool to help identify stop loss and take profit points.
Multi-timeframe analysis: Although the code itself does not implement multi-timeframe analysis directly, it can be done by applying this indicator on different timeframes. This helps to analyze the market from different angles.
Flexibility and Customization: Through sensitivity settings, traders can customize the indicator according to their needs and trading style.
Reduced screen clutter: By removing overlapping order blocks and limiting the maximum number of order blocks, this code helps reduce clutter on charts, allowing traders to analyze the market more clearly.
Overall, this "Pine Script" can be a powerful analytical tool for trend traders and those looking to improve their trading decisions by visualizing key market areas. It can be used alone or combined with other indicators and trading systems for enhanced functionality.

ODSR - Open Driven Support and Resistance LevelsODSR is a support and resistance levels generator indicator which uses Open of the Day, Week or Month (basis time frame selection by user) to calculate support and resistance levels and plot it on chart.
Background:
I have been using various indicators which could generate support and resistance levels using different data points available on chart. After analyzing multiple indicators I felt there is a need of an indicator which uses Open of the day, week or month as base data and then do further calculations and generate support and resistance levels.
Logic
This indicator takes open of day, week or month candle and then compare how far was the high and low from open. It then calculate the range and add it for analysis, it does same for all the candles declared in look back period of the indicator. Once it have all the data it calculates average difference of high and low from open price. It then compare how many times that average range has been exceeded by high or low made on specific day. If high or low has exceeded the average range it then calculate how by how many point new high or low has exceeded the average range. It then use that difference to predict next level of Support and Resistance. It then check if high or low has still exceeded the support or resistance range indicator predicted using points difference it found from when price exceeded initial average range. Indicator repeat the process till 7 levels of support and resistance has been generated by indicator.
Usage
As indicator use Open price data to generate support and resistance levels therefore once it has open price of the Day, Week or Month candle it will plot the levels on charts. Open price is plotted in thin black dot line, anything above it would be considered as resistance levels. Anything below dotted line would be considered as support levels. The far the level from open less possibility it will be tested by the price. Therefore if price breaks one level it may try to test next level or can return back to Open price as well.
Along with support and resistance indicator also calculate VWAP moving average which smoothen the normal VWAP line and allow use to identify long term trend on chart. Points table display the average difference between levels price has exceeded in past.
Please do share comments, feedback or questions if you have any. If you liked the indictor please do share it with others too.
Swing Ranges [ChartPrime]Swing Ranges is an indicator designed to provide traders with valuable insights into swing movements and real-time support and resistance (SR) levels. This tool detects price swings and plots boxes around them, allowing traders to visualize the market dynamics efficiently. The indicator's primary focus is on real-time support and resistance levels, empowering traders to make well-informed decisions in dynamic market conditions.
Key Features:
Swing Box Visualization:
Swing Ranges excels at detecting swings in the price data and visually representing them with boxes on the price chart. This enables traders to quickly identify swing ranges, essential for understanding market trends and potential reversal points. VWAP POCs are also provided giving areas of high activity in each block.
Real-Time Support and Resistance Levels:
The core feature of Swing Ranges is its real-time support and resistance levels. These levels are dynamically calculated based on the volume-weighted data for each specific range. The indicator displays the strength of support and resistance zones with percentage bars, indicating the ratio between bullish and bearish volume. This real-time information empowers traders to assess the strength and significance of each SR level, enhancing their ability to execute well-timed trades.
ATR (Average True Range) Value:
Swing Ranges also includes an ATR value label, which shows the Average True Range for the selected period. ATR aids traders in understanding market volatility, enabling them to set appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels for their trades.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) Information:
Traders c an readily access the VWAP value through the indicator's label. VWAP provides insights into the average price at which an asset has been traded, helping traders identify potential fair value areas and market trends.
Price Difference Percentage:
Swing Ranges displays the percentage difference between the high and low of each swing. This information allows traders to gauge the magnitude of price movements and assess potential profit targets more effectively.
The indicator also has a NV value. If the NV is high e.g. 10% or more there is indecision in the market and the market is trying to remain in a given range.
Settings Inputs:
1. Length Control:
The Length setting input in Swing Ranges allows traders to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to detect swings. Traders can customize the length based on their trading strategies and timeframes.
2. ATR Period Adjustment:
The ATR Period input allows traders to fine-tune the calculation period for the Average True Range. This feature enables traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and asset classes.
Swing Ranges: Real-Time Support and Resistance Indicator is a comprehensive tool that combines swing visualization with dynamic support and resistance levels. By focusing on real-time SR levels, this indicator equips traders with the essential information needed to make confident trading decisions in ever-changing market conditions.
Support & Resistance Dynamic [LuxAlgo]The Support & Resistance Dynamic indicator aims to return real-time predictive support and resistance zones that are relevant to a detected trend. This makes this indicator similar to our previously published Predictive Ranges indicator.
Users can additionally extend the most recent historical support and resistance zones.
🔶 USAGE
Hypothetical resistance levels in an up-trend or supports in a down-trend would tend to be broken more easily, as such the indicator primary objective is to return reliable real-time support and resistance levels by taking this into account.
When the market is up-trending the indicator will only return support zones, while a down-trending market will cause the indicator to only return resistance zones.
If the price significantly breaks a support/resistance, rendering it unreliable, it can be a sign of a potential reversal.
Users can return support/resistance levels/zones for shorter-term trends by reducing the Multiplicative Factor setting.
🔹 Extension
Users can extend past estimated support/resistance levels, the amount of extended levels is determined by the users. Certain levels can stay relevant in the future, and can also aid in measuring the significance of a breakout, with further past levels being reached being indicative of more significant trends.
🔶 DETAILS
To determine if the price is up-trending or down-trending in order to show either support or resistance, the same method used in the predictive ranges script is used. A central tendency is estimated, if price significantly deviates from it upward an uptrend is detected, else a significant deviation downward would indicate a downtrend.
The central tendency estimate is used for the construction of the support and resistance levels.
🔶 SETTINGS
Multiplicative Factor: Determines the frequency at which new supports/resistances are returned, with lower values returning more frequent levels/zones.
ATR Length: ATR averaging length used as deviation threshold for the central tendency estimate.
Extend Last: Determines the amount of most recent historical supports/resistances to extend to the latest bar.
Previous OHLC Levels [TradeMaster Lite]In trading, the “Previous Open/High/Low/Close” (or previous OHLC) refers to the opening, high, low and closing price of the instrument in the previous period. These prices are typically used in technical analysis to identify trends and patterns and to make trading decisions. Some traders may also use the differences between the opening, high, low and closing prices to make trading decisions. For example, the difference between the closing and opening price (the so-called “true body”) and the high and low price (the so-called “upper shadow” and “lower shadow”) can indicate the strength of a trend, whether the bulls or bears are controlling the market, and can also give an idea of market volatility, and are also used as support and resistance levels.
Previous Open: shows the opening price of the previous period. It's the price at which the market first started trading in that period.
Previous High: represents the highest price reached during the previous period. It can act as a resistance level for the current period.
Previous Low: indicates the lowest price hit during the previous period. It can serve as a support level in the current period.
Previous Close: the last price at which the asset traded during the previous period. It's often considered the most accurate reflection of the market sentiment at the end of that period.
These values provide a summary of the previous trading period's price action, giving you a baseline for comparing current price movements. They can help in understanding the market's direction and identifying potential support and resistance levels. It is important to keep in mind that, like any other technical indicator, Previous OHLC does not give a definitive indication of future market direction and should be used in conjunction with other analytical tools, as well as fundamental analysis and market sentiment. It is also important to have appropriate risk management in place.
👉 General advice
Confirming Signals with other indicators:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management:
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators:
The indicator can be effectively used alongside other technical indicators to create a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Keep in Mind:
Thorough research and backtesting are essential before making any trading decisions. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis and considering market sentiment can be vital factors to take into account in your trading approach.
Limitations:
This is a lagging indicator. Please note that the displayed values are delayed by the chosen timeframe on historical bars and show the values from the previous period on the current bar.
The indicators within the TradeMaster Lite package aim for simplicity and efficiency, while retaining their original purpose and value. Some settings, functions or visuals may be simpler than expected.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

Price breakout and reversal [TCS] | PAThis indicator is designed to identify potential breaks and reversals in price movements for a financial instrument.
The indicator displays several elements to assist users in spotting specific market conditions:
1. High and Low Pivots : The indicator marks the highest and lowest points on the price chart within a customizable lookback period. These pivots represent important turning points in the price movement and serve as reference levels for potential breakouts and reversals.
2. Fair Value Line : A horizontal line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low pivots. This line represents the "fair value" based on the recent price action. Traders may consider this level as a reference for evaluating the price's deviation from its average value.
3. Bullish Breakouts : When the closing price of the financial instrument crosses above the high pivot the indicator identifies a potential bullish breakout. This suggests a possible buying opportunity.
4. Bearish Breakouts : Conversely, a bearish breakout is identified when the closing price crosses below the low pivot. This may indicate a selling opportunity.
5. Fair Value Breakouts : In addition to regular breakouts, the indicator can detect breakouts based on the fair value line. If the closing price crosses above or below the fair value line, it may signal a fair value breakout, indicating the price's potential return to its average level.
6. Reversals : Reversal patterns are essential in technical analysis. The indicator identifies potential bullish and bearish reversals .
The indicator enhances its visual signals with geometric shapes (triangles and diamonds) placed above or below the price bars to represent different types of breakouts and reversals.
Moreover, the indicator can be configured to send alerts to the user when any of these specific events occur, helping traders stay informed and respond promptly to potential trading opportunities.
Please note that this code is for educational purposes only and should not be used for trading without further testing and analysis.
Support and Resistance Backtester [SS]Hey everyone,
Excited to release this indicator I have been working on.
I conceptualized it as an idea a while ago and had to nail down the execution part of it. I think I got it to where I am happy with it, so let me tell you about it!
What it does?
This provides the user with the ability to quantify support and resistance levels. There are plenty of back-test strategies for RSI, stochastics, MFI, any type of technical based indicator. However, in terms of day traders and many swing traders, many of the day traders I know personally do not use or rely on things like RSI, stochastics or MFI. They actually just play the support and resistance levels without attention to anything else. However, there are no tools available to these people who want to, in a way, objectively test their identified support and resistance levels.
For me personally, I use support and resistance levels that are mathematically calculated and I am always curious to see which levels:
a) Have the most touches,
b) Have provided the most support,
c) Have provided the most resistance; and,
d) Are most effective as support/resistance.
And, well, this indicator answers all four of those questions for you! It also attempts to provide some way to support and resistance traders to quantify their levels and back-test the reliability and efficacy of those levels.
How to use:
So this indicator provides a lot of functionality and I think its important to break it down part by part. We can do this as we go over the explanation of how to use it. Here is the step by step guide of how to use it, which will also provide you an opportunity to see the options and functionality.
Step 1: Input your support and resistance levels:
When we open up the settings menu, we will see the section called "Support and Resistance Levels". Here, you have the ability to input up to 5 support and resistance levels. If you have less, no problem, simply leave the S/R level as 0 and the indicator will automatically omit this from the chart and data inclusion.
Step 2: Identify your threshold value:
The threshold parameter extends the range of your support and resistance level by a desired amount. The value you input here should be the value in which you would likely stop out of your position. So, if you are willing to let the stock travel $1 past your support and resistance level, input $1 into this variable. This will extend the range for the assessment and permit the stock to travel +/- your threshold amount before it counts it as a fail or pass.
Step 3: Select your source:
The source will tell the indicator what you want to assess. If you want to assess close, it will look at where the ticker closes in relation to your support and resistance levels. If you want to see how the highs and lows behave around the S/R levels, then change the source to High or Low.
It is recommended to leave at close for optimal results and reliability however.
Step 4: Determine your lookback length:
The lookback length will be the number of candles you want the indicator to lookback to assess the support and resistance level. This is key to get your backtest results.
The recommendation is on timeframes 1 hour or less, to look back 300 candles.
On the daily, 500 candles is recommended.
Step 5: Plot your levels
You will see you have various plot settings available to you. The default settings are to plot your support and resistance levels with labels. This will look as follows:
This will plot your basic support and resistance levels for you, so you do not have to manually plot them.
However, if you want to extend the plotted support and resistance level to visually match your threshold values, you can select the "Plot Threshold Limits" option. This will extend your support and resistance areas to match the designated threshold limits.
In this case on MSFT, I have the threshold limit set at $1. When I select "Plot Threshold Limits", this is the result:
Plotting Passes and Fails:
You will notice at the bottom of the settings menu is an option to plot passes and plot fails. This will identify, via a label overlaid on the chart, where the support and resistance failures and passes resulted. I recommend only selecting one at a time as the screen can get kind of crowded with both on. here is an example on the MSFT chart:
And on the larger timeframe:
The chart
The chart displays all of the results and counts of your support and resistance results. Some things to pay attention to use the chart are:
a) The general success rate as support vs resistance
Rationale: Support levels may act as resistance more often than they do support or vice versa. Let's take a look at MSFT as an example:
The chart above shows the 334.07 level has acted as very strong support. It has been successful as support almost 82% of the time. However, as resistance, it has only been successful 33% of the time. So we could say that 334 is a strong key support level and an area we would be comfortable longing at.
b) The number of touches:
Above you will see the number of touches pointed out by the blue arrow.
Rationale: The number of touches differs from support and resistance. It counts how many times and how frequently a ticker approaches your support and/or resistance area and the duration of time spent in that area. Whereas support and resistance is determined by a candle being either above or below a s/r area, then approaching that area and then either failing or bouncing up/down, the number of touches simply assesses the time spent (in candles) around a support or resistance level. This is key to help you identify if a level has frequent touches/consolidation vs other levels and can help you filter out s/r levels that may not have a lot of touches or are infrequently touched.
Closing comments:
So this is pretty much the indicator in a nutshell. Hopefully you find it helpful and useful and enjoy it.
As always let me know your questions/comments and suggestions below.
As always I appreciate all of you who check out, try out and read about my indicators and ideas. I wish you all the safest trades and good luck!
TradeMaster ProTrading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. To address this, we present a powerful indicator package designed to assist traders on their journey to success.
The TradeMaster indicator package encompasses a variety of trading strategies, including the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action) approach, along with many other techniques. By leveraging concepts such as price action trading, support and resistance analysis, supply and demand dynamics, these indicators can empower traders to analyze entry and exit positions with precision. Unlike other forms of technical analysis that produce values or plots based on historical price data, Price Action brings you the facts straight from the source - the current price movements.
The indicator package consists of three powerful indicators that can be used individually or together to maximize trading effectiveness.
⭐ About the Pro Indicator
The Pro indicator is the cornerstone of the package, offering a comprehensive range of functions. It's strength lies in our unique structure calculation, which is based on real price action data, capturing every ticks from small intraday fluctuations to the significant high timeframe movements. The Pro Indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
▸ What does proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example for structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.
👉 Usage - the general approach:
Determine your trading style using the Pro Indicator and build your basic strategy. This indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the Pro Indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
👉 Example of usage:
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.
👉 Smart Money Concepts Functions
Market Structure: identifies and marks key structural changes in the market, in order to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you of significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phase, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Blocks: pinpoints crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. Order blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key levels for potential trade entries or exits.
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps): detects discrepancies between the perceived market value and actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Liquidity Grabs: helps track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Automatic Fibonacci Tool: Simplifying the task of identifying key Fibonacci retracement and extension levels, this tool ties Fibonacci levels to the structure for you. It aids in recognizing significant support and resistance levels, providing a clearer understanding of potential price movements.
The Smart Money Concepts trading strategy - combined with these dynamic features - becomes a powerful analytical asset for any trader, providing in-depth insights into market dynamics, trends, and potential opportunities.
👉 Algorithmic trend and dynamic support and resistance
Trend Rainbow: This proprietary feature uses our unique TRMA** method to define short-term, medium-term, and long-term market trends. It incorporates state-of-the-art visualization techniques to render the trend information in an intuitive, easily interpretable manner. It's a 21st-century tool designed for the modern trader who values both precision and simplicity.
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: This feature allows traders to simultaneously monitor moving averages across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive perspective on market trends. It helps identify dynamic support and resistance zones, key levels where price movements are likely to slow down or reverse. This function not only aids in planning potential trade entries and exits, but also calculates the precise percentage distance to these levels. Can be as well crucial for risk management, enabling traders to set stop losses and profit targets based on solid, data-driven analysis. The Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages function is a versatile tool that combines strategic planning and risk control into a single, easy-to-use feature.
👉 Unlock the Hidden Market Dynamics
Market Sessions: This feature - by default - provides a clear representation of the four major global trading sessions. Each session is distinctly marked on your trading chart, helping you visualize the specific time periods when these markets are most active. Recognizing these sessions is critical for understanding market dynamics, as the opening and closing of major markets can lead to significant price movements. Whether you're a day trader looking to exploit intra-day volatility or a long-term investor wanting to understand broader market trends, the Market Sessions feature can be a useful tool in your trading toolkit.
Divergence Functions: allow the use of unique indicators along with our proprietary ones to detect potential price reversals. As each asset has a different market maker, divergences can vary greatly across different charts and timeframes. With our Divergence Ranking Table, you can quickly determine which divergences have the highest success rates and which are the least successful on a given chart. This feature allows you to adapt your strategies to the most effective signals, enhancing your trading decisions and boosting your potential profits.
Volume Profile with delta: This feature may give traders an edge by providing an in-depth view of market activity. It illustrates the amount of trading volume at different price levels, combined with the 'delta', which is the difference between buying and selling volume. This information allows you to see areas of high trading activity and understand whether the volume is pushing the price up or down. This real-time insight into the market's supply and demand can be instrumental in identifying key support and resistance levels, predicting potential reversals, and recognizing where the market is likely to move. Similarly to Fibonacci tool, Volume Profile can be tied to the current market structure.
👉 Improve Trading Decisions
Range: This innovative feature assists traders in determining discount, premium, and equilibrium zones. It provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones), and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Previous OHLC: This functionality offers the capability to display the previous Open, High, Low, Close values. It is primarily set on the daily timeframe and serves as an important reference for traders. Having an overview of these key levels from the previous day gives you a solid foundation on which to base today's trading decisions. Recognizing these levels can help you predict potential turning points in the market, providing an advantage in your trading strategy.
Smart Money Zones: our secret weapon for swing traders. Similarly to order blocks, these zones can accurately identify crucial areas of strong buying or selling interest by large institutional investors. However while Order Blocks focus on recent price action, Smart Money Zones take the whole chart into consideration, resulting in more established support and demand zones.
The summary graph combines six unique indicators (Momentum, Trend Strength, Volume, Volatility, Asset Strength, and Sentiment) along with Structure and Sessions. These indicators use our TRMA** method to provide a comprehensive overview of market dynamics. By consolidating these indicators into a single graph, traders can gain valuable insights into the overall market landscape.
** TRMA (Trend Rainbow Moving Averages) is a complex but customizable moving average matrix calculation that is designed to measure market trend direction, strength and shifting.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

Murrey Math Horizontal/Diagonal + Subharmonics 0 - 12 [All-Time]The Murrey Math lines are created by dividing the range between the high and low of the monthly timeframe prices into equal parts based on the division factor from 2 to 12.
No matter which timeframe you will use, because the calculations based on the most high and low price values.
Better to use > monthly timeframe for faster calculations.
These lines serve as potential support and resistance levels.
The midlines are dashed lines representing the midpoint between two consecutive Murrey Math lines.
The diagonal lines can be enabled to show two different types or both types. These lines connect the highs or lows of the price bars in a diagonal manner.
The subharmonic lines represent smaller divisions within each Murrey Math range. They can be customized to show only strong subharmonics or all subharmonics. Subharmonics are calculated based on the division factor and can provide additional support and resistance levels within the Murrey Math framework.
This script helps visualize the Murrey Math levels and their associated lines on a trading chart, aiding traders in identifying potential price levels for decision-making.
The most strong levels which I tested were: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12.
I was inspired by Gann's work and i tried to implement this indicator.
It's the most accurate version of Murrey Math calculations, you can set the value of 8 which Gann was used but I did up to 12 because of my experiments and I would recommend you to use the value of 12.
This indicator can be used for all types of markets.
Also note, that the strong levels described above is tested on division by 12 setting.
Anyway, you can use the divison of 8 and use the standart strong s/r levels.
(for more information search for Gann 2.0 support resistance on the internet).
Also note: this information is not a financial advice, just my opinion to the indicator I implemented. Please use this indicator wisely and focus to save your money, not earn.
I wish you profitable trades, stick to your risk/money management and the key entry points!
Retest Support Resistance Signals [ChartPrime]The Retest Support Resistance Signals Indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying key support and resistance levels within the market. Most importantly and uniquely it identifies retests of these structures and displays them on the trader's chart. By utilizing a combination of pivot points and price action analysis, this indicator offers valuable insights for both signal-based and support/resistance trading strategies.
Key Features & settings:
Retest Confirmation: The indicator waits for a break above a support or resistance level and observes subsequent price action. If price retraces and forms a wick below the level, followed by a bounce, the indicator identifies it as a retest and labels it as "R" to indicate potential support or resistance confirmation.
This indicator combines the benefits of signal-based trading and support/resistance analysis, providing users with a versatile trading tool suitable for various strategies.
Retest Weaker Toggle: Users have the option to enable or disable the retest weaker feature. When enabled, the indicator considers a support or resistance level weaker if it experiences a test. When disabled, the indicator assumes that a bounce may occur from the level.
Pivot Detection Customization: Users can adjust the pivot detection method based on either wicks or bodies. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and preferences. The trader can also customize the number of bars used for pivot detection on both the left and right sides. This feature enables traders to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity and responsiveness.
Users also have control over how support or resistance levels are managed on the chart. They can choose to either stop updating the levels (freeze) or completely remove them (delete) from the chart.
Breakout Threshold Setting: Traders can adjust the breakout threshold until deletion setting. This setting determines the number of successful breakouts through a support or resistance level required to remove it from the chart. This feature helps filter out weaker levels and focus on more significant ones.
Shown above we see the retest labels in action denoted with an R label
This indicator can be a useful addition to an SR trader's toolkit. Identifying when a level in the market is retested can reveal interesting information about the underlying strength of a trend. This indicator has been designed with the two major schools of thought; a level gets weaker the more it's tested vs stronger the more it's tested. We have designed this therefore to be versatile and adapt to both thought procceses. The R labels should be taken and considered as a larger part of an analysis process and not followed blindly.
Sessioned EMA - Frozen EMA in post market hoursWhy I develop this indicator?
In future indices, post market data with little volume distort the moving average seriously. This indicator is to eliminate the distortion of data during low volume post market hours.
How to use?
There is a time session setting in the indicator, you can set the cash hour time, moving average outside the session will be frozen.
What this indicator gives you
This indicator give you a more make sense ema pattern, the ema lines are more respected by the prices when you set the session properly.
Setup
1. Session setting
In US indices, such as NQ, ES etc, when there was data release at 0830 hr, huge volume transaction order appears, that makes the 0830 price data important that should be included in your ema trend line calculating. If that is the case, I will set the session begin from 0830, otherwise, I start the session at 0930. Golden rule : Price with huge volume counts.
2. Time zone
The coding is decided for GMT+8 time zone, you may amend the code to fit your timezone.
TwV Dynamic Multi-Timeframe Supports and ResistancesDynamic Multi-timeframe Supports and Resistances
This indicator is designed to be able to get used in combination with others that can lead to a potential help for trading.
The indicator uses colors such us light blue, dark blue, light red and dark red. Light blue and light red to indicate whether we are looking at a support or resistance for the multi-timeframe and dark blue and dark red to indicate whether we are looking at a support or resistance for the current chart’s timeframe.
The indicator is multi-timeframe because the trader can configure within the menu a background timeframe, which plots new supports and resistances according to the timeframe selected. Therefore, traders can use daily or 4H supports and resistances in a 1H graph or lower. (Just as an example)
The Supports' and Resistances' for the different timeframes are clearly identified with a label at the specific candle where they are coming from.
Most Supports & Resistances indicators need to be adjusted to a FIXED LOOKBACK PERIOD , I made an improvement and different by giving the indicator the ability to identify the bars that are being LOOK AT IN THE SCREEN , this really gives traders the possibility and agility to identify potential support and resistance areas without the need to be changing any settings on the indicator. Just change the Fixed/Dynamic setting indicator to start using this great functionality.
Fundamentals
Support and resistance are two foundational concepts in technical analysis. Understanding what these terms mean and their practical application is essential to correctly reading price charts.
Prices move because of supply and demand. When demand is greater than supply, prices rise. When supply is greater than demand, prices fall. Sometimes, prices will move sideways as both supply and demand are in equilibrium.
Like many concepts in technical analysis, the explanation and rationale behind technical concepts are relatively easy, but mastery in their application often takes years of practice.
Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify price points on a chart where the probabilities favor a pause or reversal of a prevailing trend.
Support occurs where a downtrend is expected to pause due to a concentration of demand.
Resistance occurs where an uptrend is expected to pause temporarily, due to a concentration of supply.
Support and resistance areas can be identified on charts using trendlines and moving averages.
Summary Panel
This panel allows the trader to have a summary of the values of the supports and resistances. It has the following characteristics:
Can be placed anywhere in the chart.
Its size can be modified to fit any type of screens including mobile
The summary box the high and low prices for the supports and resistances.
Script’s Basics
The idea behind the script is to find out Long-term levels are used to help predict large price reversals marking the start and completion of price movements on longer timelines such as the daily or weekly charts, to achieve this the script uses K-Means clustering to identify long-term support and resistance levels.
K-means clustering is one of the most popular algorithms, the objective of K-means is to group similar data points together and discover underlying patterns. To achieve this objective, K-means looks for a fixed number (k) of clusters in a dataset.
A cluster refers to a collection of data points aggregated together because of certain similarities. For this, a target number k has to be defined, which refers to the number of centroids it is needed in the dataset.
Every data point is allocated to each of the clusters through reducing the in-cluster sum of squares.
In other words, it identifies the k number of centroids and then allocates every data point to the nearest cluster, while keeping the centroids as small as possible.
Price Action Box RetracementsThe Price Action Box Retracements Indicator offers a fresh perspective on price analysis, departing from the conventional fixed-length lookback period commonly used in trading indicators. This indicator embraces a more flexible and adaptable approach, taking into account changes in price action behavior and avoiding overfitting. With a design philosophy rooted in the principle of "Keep it simple, stupid!" (KISS), this indicator allows users to customize just one variable: Price Box Size.
Imagine the price action as a journey within a box or channel, defined by significant pivots from the past that act as support and resistance levels. The Price Action Box Retracements Indicator visualizes the midpoints between these pivots, representing half-point retracements. By adjusting the "Price Box Size" variable, users can select the size of the price action box that the script will identify on the chart. A larger value will look for a larger box/channel, meaning the price will stay within it for a longer duration. Think of it as switching to a slower timeframe without changing the chart resolution.
The indicator plots a median line within the price action box, which changes color based on the position of the price action within the box. When the price action is trading below the median, the line is displayed in red, indicating a potential for short entries. Conversely, when the price action is above the box median, the line turns green, suggesting opportunities for long entries. An orange color is used when the price action breaks outside the box, signaling the start of a new trend or a measured move where the box size is expected to double.
Sudden changes in the median location are crucial signals that the price action has broken outside its previous box and created a new one. Usually, the price action will attempt to return back and test its old box boundaries or median (support/resistance) before continuing further. If the new box is positioned above the previous one, it indicates an upward channel (uptrend), while a box below the previous one suggests a descending channel (downtrend). A flat median line represents a ranging market, where the price action lacks a clear directional bias.
In addition to the median plot, the script also offers a pivot-anchored moving average, assisting traders in identifying smaller trends and potential entry points within a larger price action box.
Experience a new approach to price analysis with the Price Action Box Retracements Indicator and enhance your trading strategies with simplicity and flexibility.
K's Pivot PointsPivot points are a popular technical analysis tool used by traders to identify potential levels of support and resistance in a given timeframe. Pivot points are derived from previous price action and are used to estimate potential price levels where an asset may experience a reversal, breakout, or significant price movement.
The calculation of pivot points involves a simple formula that takes into account the high, low, and close prices from the previous trading session or a specific period. The most commonly used pivot point calculation method is the "Standard" or "Classic" method. Here's the formula:
Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
In addition to the pivot point itself, several support and resistance levels are calculated based on the pivot point value.
K's Pivot Points try to enhance them by incorporating multiple elements and by applying a re-integration strategy to validate two events:
* Found_Support: This event represents a basing market that is bound to recover or at least shape a bounce.
* Found_Resistance: This event represents a toppish market that is bound to consolidate or at least shape a pause.
K's Pivot Points are calculated following these steps:
1. Calculate the highest of highs for the previous 24 periods (preferably hours).
2. Calculate the lowest of lows for the previous 24 periods (preferably hours).
3. Calculate a 24-period (preferably hours) moving average of the close price.
4. Calculate K's Pivot Point as the average between the three previous step.
5. To find the support, use this formula: Support = (Lowest K's pivot point of the last 12 periods * 2) - Step 1
6. To find the resistance, use this formula: Resistance = (Highest K's pivot point of the last 12 periods * 2) - Step 2
The re-integration strategy to find support and resistance areas is as follows:
* A support has been found if the market breaks the support and shapes a close above it afterwards.
* A resistance has been found if the market surpasses the resistance and shapes a close below it afterwards.
The lookback period (whether 24 and 12) can be modified but the default versions work well.
h/l raid @joshuuuThis indicator shows, when important liquidity pools have been taken out.
Which liquidity pools are important and how should I use them?
The day can be divided into different session. asia, london and new york session, those sessions can be narrowed down even further into killzones, taught by ict.
The times for those killzones are:
Asia - 2000-0000 ny time
London - 0200-0500 ny time
ny am - 0830-1100 ny time
nypm - 13.30-1600 ny time
Highs/Lows that have been created within those killzones (sessions with highest volume) should hold some liquidity.
That's why this indicator displays arrows with different colors to highlight once those highs/lows get taken out.
Additionally, the indicator also shows raids (liquidity grabs) of the previous daily, previous weekly and previous monthly high/low.
All colors are adaptable.
How do I use that indicator for my trading.
Once those important liquidity pools are taken out, we often see a reversal in the marketplace. One can wait for a raid and then watch for a potential market structure shift into the opposite direction to anticipate a reversal.
Note:
It is possible to create alerts for those kind of raids.
Examples:
ES:
Price takes out Asia High (red triangle) and London High (blue triangle). Price then forms a market structure shift (lower low after a series of higher lows) and creates a fair value gap while doing so.
That would be a valid setup. Again, all these are concepts by TheInnerCircleTrader.
EU:
On this EurUsd Chart, we can see, how the triangles (liquidity grabs) can be an early indication for potential reversals.
Asia high and london high has been taken out. market structure shift (light bulb) and then a fairvalue gap.
