Support and Resistance with Signals [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
"Support and Resistance with Signals ", is designed to identify key support and resistance levels on a trading chart while also signaling potential retests (denoted as "R") and breakouts (denoted as "B"). The indicator dynamically plots support and resistance lines based on pivot points and adjusts them according to price action and sensitivity settings. It aims to assist traders in identifying significant price levels and potential reversal or breakout opportunities.
🔶 Key Features:
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot highs and pivot lows based on a specified period length (Checks Left and Right bars). Adjust the length of the pivot period to control the sensitivity of support and resistance levels according to the your preferences.
Support and Resistance Lines: It plots support and resistance lines at the pivot high and pivot low points, respectively.
Retest and Breakout Signals: Signals are generated based on the sensitivity setting, which adds/subtracts a portion (half) of the Average True Range (ATR) to the pivot points. A retest signal ("R") is generated when the price approaches the support or resistance level within the sensitivity range. A breakout signal ("B") is generated when the price surpasses the support or resistance level.
Sensitivity (ATR Length): Modify the retest-breakout sensitivity length to fine-tune the generation of signals based on price volatility.
Maximum Lines : Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed on the chart for clarity.
Line Colors and Width: Customize the colors and width of support and resistance lines for better visualization.
More Examples:
Before Retest Signal:
When the price enters the retest range at the specified sensitivity:

Wyszukaj w skryptach "breakout"
Range DetectionThis is a simple indicator to find the sideways market or ranging market.
It is mainly focused on BTCUSD as BTCUSD doesn’t make big moves each and every candle. It makes big breakouts with one candle and then goes sideways for a longer period of time.
So, this indicator identifies those big candles and plots high and lows of those big candles using lines. New range is created only when new candles close above or below previous major candles high or low.
Hero Zero+ Gamma (False Breakout Filter)Hero Zero – EMA + VWAP + Gamma (Strong Candle)
Purpose:
This script is designed to capture high-momentum intraday moves (Gamma Blasts / Hero Zero trades) by combining:
Trend strength (EMA stack)
Institutional reference (VWAP)
Momentum candle quality (Full Body / Marubozu)
Participation confirmation (Volume burst – OI proxy)
It avoids weak breakouts and focuses only on decisive price expansion candles.
1️⃣ EMA STRUCTURE – TREND FILTER
emaFast = ta.ema(close, 9)
emaMid = ta.ema(close, 20)
emaSlow = ta.ema(close, 50)
📈 Why EMAs?
EMAs react faster to price → ideal for intraday momentum
The script uses EMA stacking, not just crossovers
Bullish EMA Stack
emaFast > emaMid > emaSlow
✔ Indicates strong uptrend
✔ Buyers are in control across short, medium & intraday timeframes
Bearish EMA Stack
emaFast < emaMid < emaSlow
✔ Indicates strong downtrend
✔ Sellers dominate
🔒 No EMA stack = no trade
This removes sideways and choppy markets.
2️⃣ VWAP – INSTITUTIONAL BIAS
vwapVal = ta.vwap(hlc3)
Why VWAP?
Used by institutions, algos, prop desks
Acts as a fair value line
Conditions
Bullish trade: close > VWAP
Bearish trade: close < VWAP
📌 This ensures:
You trade with smart money
You avoid mean-reversion traps
3️⃣ VOLUME BURST – GAMMA / OI PROXY
avgVol = ta.sma(volume, 20)
volBurst = volume > avgVol * 1.5
What this represents
Sudden increase in participation
Acts as a proxy for OI build-up / Gamma activity
✔ No volume = no follow-through
✔ Volume burst confirms real interest, not fake moves
4️⃣ STRONG CANDLE LOGIC – CORE EDGE 🔥
Candle Anatomy
bodySize = abs(close - open)
upperWick = high - max(close, open)
lowerWick = min(close, open) - low
A) FULL BODY CANDLE
Meaning:
Price moves strongly in one direction with minimal rejection.
Bullish Full Body
bodySize > upperWick
✔ Buyers pushed price up and held it
Bearish Full Body
bodySize > lowerWick
✔ Sellers dominated without pullback
B) MARUBOZU CANDLE (Institutional Candle)
upperWick <= mintick*2
lowerWick <= mintick*2
✔ Almost no wicks
✔ Pure aggression
✔ Typically seen during:
Option Gamma expansion
Index hero moves
Breakout candles
C) STRONG CANDLE (Final Filter)
Strong Candle = Full Body OR Marubozu
📌 This is powerful because:
Full Body → strong but normal momentum
Marubozu → explosive institutional move
Weak candles are fully filtered out.
5️⃣ HERO ZERO (GAMMA BLAST) CONDITIONS
Bullish Gamma Blast
EMA Stack + Price above VWAP +
Strong Bull Candle + Volume Burst
Bearish Gamma Blast
EMA Stack + Price below VWAP +
Strong Bear Candle + Volume Burst
💥 When all align → probability spike
💥 Designed for fast 1–3 candle expansion
6️⃣ SIGNAL VISUALS
Green “GAMMA BUY” → below candle
Red “GAMMA SELL” → above candle
EMAs + VWAP plotted for context
Signals are rare but high-quality.
7️⃣ ALERT SYSTEM

✔ Use for:
Bank Nifty / Nifty
Option buying
Scalping during power hours
8️⃣ BEST USAGE (IMPORTANT)
✅ Recommended Timeframes

Trinity Inside & 3-Candle Sweep Breakout with TargetsTrinity Intraday Inside Candle / 3-Candle Sweep + Breakout with Inside Bar Indicator
This Pine Script indicator is built specifically for **intraday trading on the 15-minute timeframe**, but can be used on any timeframes.
It identifies two closely related price action setups: the classic **Inside Candle Breakout** and the higher-probability **3-Candle Liquidity Sweep** (also called a reversal or false breakout setup). Both are filtered by Previous Day High/Low for directional bias, and the entire system is highly visual with customizable lines, labels, highlights, signals, and projected targets.
#### Core Functionality
When an **inside candle** forms (current candle’s high is below the previous candle’s high AND its low is above the previous candle’s low), the indicator activates the setup visualization. The previous candle becomes the **mother candle**, and its high and low define the consolidation range.
- **Inside Bar Highlight**: The current inside candle is filled with a solid color (default bright yellow) so you can instantly identify it on the chart.
- **Mother Candle Range Visualization**:
- A green dotted line with label “Range High - ” marks the mother candle’s high (the upside breakout level).
- A red dotted line with label “Range Low - ” marks the mother candle’s low (the downside breakout level).
These lines extend to the right, making it very clear what levels need to be broken for a valid signal.
- **Signals**:
- **Inside Candle Breakout**: Triggers when the candle after the inside bar closes decisively above the mother high (bullish) or below the mother low (bearish). Shows blue arrows for long, fuchsia arrows for short, plus clear labels (“LONG Inside Breakout” or “SHORT Inside Breakout”).
- **3-Candle Liquidity Sweep**: A more refined reversal setup. After the mother + inside, the third candle sweeps beyond the mother low (for longs) or high (for shorts) to grab liquidity, but closes back inside the mother range without breaking the opposite inside extreme. Shows large green/red triangles with labels (“LONG 3-Candle Sweep” or “SHORT 3-Candle Sweep”).
- **Directional Filter (PDH/PDL)**:
- Long signals only appear when price is above Previous Day High (PDH).
- Short signals only appear when price is below Previous Day Low (PDL).
This keeps you trading with intraday momentum rather than against it.
- **Targets**: Automatically plotted only on Inside Breakout signals (can be extended to sweeps if desired). Uses the mother candle range size multiplied by two customizable risk-reward factors:
- T1 = entry + (range × 0.56) for longs (or minus for shorts) – default partial target.
- T2 = entry + (range × 0.84) for longs (or minus for shorts) – default full target.
Shows dotted lines extending right with labels like “T1 - 208.20 (0.56) points” in blue for longs or orange for shorts.
- **Additional Elements**:
- Previous Day High/Low dashed lines with moving labels (“PDH” and “PDL”) that follow the price action.
- Optional 20-period and 50-period EMAs for trend context.
- All lines and labels clear automatically once a signal triggers to keep the chart clean.
#### How to Use It
1. Apply the indicator to a **15-minute chart** of any instrument (best on liquid stocks, indices, or futures).
2. Wait for an **inside bar** to form – you’ll see it highlighted in yellow and the green/red Range High/Low lines + labels appear.
3. Monitor for a close **above Range High** (potential long) or **below Range Low** (potential short), respecting the PDH/PDL filter.
4. If the third candle sweeps liquidity but reverses properly, you get the higher-conviction 3-candle sweep signal.
5. Enter on the close of the signal candle or a small retest.
6. Stop loss typically just beyond the swept extreme or mother range opposite side.
7. Take partial profits at T1 and let the rest run to T2 (or trail).
8. Use alerts (built-in alertconditions) for all four signal types.
#### All Settings (Customizable in TradingView Inputs)
- **Visibility toggles**: Turn on/off PDH/PDL lines, moving PDH/PDL labels, 20/50 EMAs, signals, inside breakout signals, targets, mother range lines/labels, and inside bar highlight.
- **Filters**: Toggle the PDH/PDL requirement for longs/shorts and separately for breakout signals.
- **Colors**: Every single element has its own color input – PDH/PDL lines & labels, EMAs, sweep signals (shapes & labels), inside breakout signals (shapes & labels), target lines & labels (long/short separately), mother range high/low lines & labels, and inside bar fill color.
- **Risk-Reward Multipliers**: Adjust the T1 multiplier (default 0.56) and T2 multiplier (default 0.84) to match your preferred measured-move projection.
The result is a clean, professional, all-in-one intraday tool that clearly shows consolidation, breakout levels, liquidity grabs, directional bias, and projected rewards, and helps you spot high-probability inside bar continuations or reversals quickly.
Note:
You can use this indicator with **either standard (normal) candlesticks or Heikin Ashi candles**, but **standard candles are strongly recommended** for the most accurate and reliable signals.
### Why Standard Candles Are Preferred
The entire logic of the indicator — inside candle detection, 3-candle liquidity sweep validation, breakout closes, and mother candle range measurement — is based on **actual price action** using real open, high, low, and close (OHLC) values.
- **Standard candles** show the true highs and lows where liquidity (stop-loss orders) actually sits, and where real breaks/sweeps occur.
- The setups (especially the liquidity sweep) rely on price **sweeping a prior low/high but closing back inside** — this is measured using the real candle extremes.
### What Happens with Heikin Ashi
Heikin Ashi candles are **averaged/smoothened** versions of price:
- Their highs and lows are calculated differently (not the true session extremes).
- Wicks are often shorter or artificial, and closes are averaged.
This can cause:
- False or missed inside candle detections.
- Incorrect range high/low measurements (the mother candle range won't match real price).
- Sweeps or breakouts that appear on Heikin Ashi but didn't actually happen in real price (or vice versa).
- Targets (T1/T2) projected from a distorted range size.
In short, Heikin Ashi will make the indicator **less accurate** and potentially generate misleading signals.
### Recommendation
- Use **standard candlesticks** on your 15-minute chart for this indicator.
- If you like the smoother look of Heikin Ashi for trend filtering, you can overlay it on a separate panel or use the built-in 20/50 EMAs for trend context instead.
Always backtest on your instruments and use proper risk management. This is not financial advice. Enjoy trading with it!
Malama's Pre-Market BoxThis script is a comprehensive Pre-Market range visualizer designed to replace older, single-candle analysis tools. It automatically highlights the full pre-market session (04:00–09:30 EST) and extends key support/resistance levels into the regular trading day.
Why this script was created (Evolution from previous versions): This is a complete architectural rewrite of the older "Malama's KAYCAP Pre-Market Box."
Old Logic: The previous version focused on isolating a single, specific 1-minute candle (e.g., exactly 4:00 AM) to determine levels.
New Logic: This version tracks the entire pre-market session range. It dynamically updates the True High and True Low as the pre-market develops, providing a much more accurate support/resistance zone for the open.
Visual Overhaul: Instead of static plots, this version uses Pine Script v6 box and line objects to draw a clean, shading-customizable range that automatically extends rightward until the trading session ends.
How it works:
Session Tracking: The script monitors the user-defined session (default 04:00-09:30).
Dynamic Box: As price moves during pre-market, a box is drawn covering the highest high and lowest low of that period.
Level Extension: At 09:30 (Market Open), the script locks the High and Low values. It then projects two horizontal lines (Resistance and Support) across the chart for the rest of the day.
Breakout Detection: If the price closes outside these levels during regular hours, the script can optionally trigger Alerts and plot "BREAK" labels on the chart.
Settings:
Time Settings: Customizable session string (default captures standard US Pre-Market).
Visuals: Fully adjustable box colors, border transparency, and line width.
Signals: Toggle breakout labels on/off.
Alerts Included:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price crosses and closes above the Pre-Market High.
Bearish Breakdown: Triggers when price crosses and closes below the Pre-Market Low.
Hybrid Strategy: Trend/ORB/MTFHybrid Strategy: Trend + ORB + Multi-Timeframe Matrix
This script is a comprehensive "Trading Manager" designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines three powerful concepts into a single, clean chart interface: Trend Alignment, Opening Range Breakout (ORB), and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis.
It is designed to prevent "analysis paralysis" by providing a unified Dashboard that confirms if the trend is aligned across 5 different timeframes before you take a trade.
How it Works
The strategy relies on the "Golden Trio" of confluence:
1. Trend Definition (The Setup) Before looking for entries, the script analyzes the immediate trend. A bullish trend is defined as:
Price is above the Session VWAP.
The fast EMA (9) is above the slow EMA (21). (The inverse applies for bearish trends).
2. The Signal (The Trigger) The script draws the Opening Range (default: first 15 minutes of the session).
Buy Signal: Price breaks above the Opening Range High while the Trend is Bullish.
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the Opening Range Low while the Trend is Bearish.
3. The Confirmation (The Filter) A signal is only valid if the Higher Timeframe (default: 60m) agrees with the direction. If the 1m chart says "Buy" but the 60m chart is bearish, the signal is filtered out to prevent false breakouts.
Key Features
The Matrix Dashboard A zero-lag, real-time table in the corner of your screen that monitors 5 user-defined timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 4H).
Trend: Checks if Price > EMA 21.
VWAP: Checks if Price > VWAP.
ORB: Checks if Price is currently above/below the Opening Range of that session.
D H/L: Warns if price is near the Daily High or Low.
PD H/L: Warns if price is near the Previous Daily High or Low.
Visual Order Blocks The script automatically identifies valid Order Blocks (sequences of consecutive candles followed by a strong explosive move).
Chart: Draws Green/Red zones extending to the right, showing where price may react.
Dashboard: Displays the exact High, Low, and Average price of the most recent Order Blocks for precision planning.
Risk Management (Trailing Stop) Once a trade is active, the script plots Chandelier Exit dots (ATR-based trailing stop) to help you manage the trade and lock in profits during trend runs.
Visual Guide (Chart Legend)
⬜ Gray Box: Represents the Opening Range (first 15 minutes). This is your "No Trade Zone." Wait for price to break out of this box.

Turtle 20-Day Breakout (Donchian)Yes, the most important indicator used in the Turtle Rules (Turtle Trading Strategy) for finding breakouts above previous highs is the Donchian Channel. 🐢📈
Donchian Channel
The Donchian Channel is a trend-following indicator composed of three lines plotted on the chart:
Shutterstock
Upper Band: The highest high over the defined number of periods.
Lower Band: The lowest low over the defined number of periods.
Middle Line: The average of the Upper and Lower bands (not always used, but sometimes added for orientation).
The Turtle Rules use the following periods for the entry signals (breakouts) you mentioned in your query:
Short-Term (System 1): Crossing the 20-day high (this corresponds to the upper band of a Donchian Channel with a 20-period setting).
Mid-Term/Long-Term (System 2): Crossing the 55-day high (this corresponds to the upper band of a Donchian Channel with a 55-period setting).
Crossing the upper band signals a breakout and serves as the buy signal for a long position (for short positions, crossing below the lower band is used).
Is there anything else I can translate for you, or would you like me to elaborate on the Average True Range (ATR), the other key indicator used by the Turtles?
Lorentzian Length Adaptive Moving Average [LLAMA] Adaptation of "Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification" by
Gradient color by base on work by
LLAMA: A regime-aware adaptive moving average that bends with the market.
Start with a problem traders know:
Traditional moving averages are either too slow (EMA200) or too fast (EMA9)
Adaptive MAs exist, but they often hug price too tightly or smooth too much, failing to balance bias and tactics
LLAMA uses a Lorentzian distance function to adapt its length dynamically. Instead of a fixed smoothing window, it stretches or contracts depending on market conditions. This distortion reduces lag while still providing a clear bias line.
The indicator looks back at recent bars and measures how similar they are using a Lorentzian distance (a log‑scaled absolute difference). It keeps track of the “nearest neighbors” — bars that most resemble the current regime. Each neighbor carries a label (long, short, neutral) based on simple price comparisons. By averaging these labels, LLAMA predicts whether the market is leaning bullish or bearish. That prediction is then mapped into a dynamic length between and .
Bullish bias -> length stretches toward max (smoother, more stable).
Bearish bias -> length contracts toward min (snappier, more reactive).
During breakouts, LLAMA tightens and comes into contact with bars, giving actionable signals. During chop, it stretches to avoid false triggers. It covers both ends of the spectrum (bias and tactics) in one line, something static MA's can't do.
Think of LLAMA as a lens that bends with the market:
Wide lens (max length) for big picture bias.
Narrow lens (min length) for tactical precision.
The "Lorentzian Loop" is the math that decides when to widen or narrow.
Easy [CHE] Easy — Minimalist Pine Script for detecting EMA direction changes to define fixed price zones for simple support and resistance visualization, ideal for manual trading workflows.
Summary
This indicator's programming is kept minimalist and super simple, with core logic in under 20 lines for easy comprehension and modification. It creates fixed price zones based on divergences between a base exponential moving average and its smoother counterpart, helping traders spot potential consolidation or reversal areas without dynamic adjustments. By locking the zone at the high and low of the signal bar, it avoids over-expansion in volatile conditions, offering a stable reference line colored by price position relative to the zone. This approach differs from expanding channels by prioritizing simplicity and persistence until a new qualifying signal, reducing visual clutter while highlighting directional bias through midpoint coloring.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face noisy signals from moving averages that flip frequently in sideways markets or lag during breakouts, leading to premature entries or missed opportunities. This indicator addresses that by focusing on confirmed direction shifts between the base and smoothed averages, then anchoring a non-expanding zone to capture the initial price range of the shift. The result is a cleaner tool for marking equilibrium levels, assuming price respects these bounds in ranging or mildly trending conditions.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional moving average crossovers or simple channels that update every bar.
- Architecture differences:
- Zones are set only on new divergence signals and remain fixed until reset by a gap from the prior zone.
- No ongoing high-low expansion; relies on persistent variables to hold bounds across bars.
- Midpoint plotting with conditional coloring based on close position, plus a highlight for zone initiations.
- Practical effect: Charts show persistent horizontal references instead of drifting lines, making it easier to gauge if price is rejecting or embracing the zone—useful for avoiding false breaks in low-volatility setups.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a base exponential moving average of closing prices over a user-defined length, then applies a second exponential moving average to smooth that base. It checks if both the base and smoothed values are increasing or decreasing compared to their prior values, indicating aligned direction. A signal triggers when this alignment breaks, marking a potential shift.
On a new signal, if the current bar's high and low fall outside any existing zone (or none exists), the zone bounds update to those extremes and persist via dedicated variables. The midpoint of these bounds becomes the primary plot line, colored green if below the close (bullish lean), red if above (bearish lean), or gray otherwise. A secondary thick line highlights the midpoint briefly when a zone first sets, aiding visual confirmation. No higher timeframe data or external fetches are used, so updates occur on each bar close without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Sets the period for the base moving average; longer values smooth more, reducing signal frequency but increasing lag. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter for faster response in intraday charts (risks noise); longer for daily trends (may miss early shifts).
Smoother Length — Defines the period for the secondary smoothing on the base average; higher values dampen minor wiggles for stabler direction checks. Default: 3. Trade-offs/Tips: Keep low (2–5) for sensitivity; increase to 7+ if zones trigger too often in choppy markets, at cost of delayed signals.
Reading & Interpretation
The main circle plot at the zone midpoint serves as a dynamic equilibrium line: green suggests price is above the zone (potential strength), red indicates below (potential weakness), and gray shows containment within bounds (neutral consolidation). A sudden thick foreground line at the midpoint flags a fresh zone start, prompting review of the prior bar's context. Absence of a plot means no active zone, implying reliance on price action alone until the next signal.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green midpoint after a higher low touches the zone lower bound, confirmed by structure like higher highs; filter shorts similarly on red with lower highs.
- Exits/Stops: Use the opposite zone bound as a conservative stop (e.g., below lower for longs); trail aggressively to midpoint on strong moves, tightening near gray neutrality.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and stocks on 1H–Daily; for crypto volatility, shorten EMA Length to 20–30. Pair with volume oscillators for confirmation, avoiding isolated use.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Plots update on bar close using historical closes, so confirmed signals hold; live bars may shift until close but without future references.
- security()/HTF: Not used, eliminating related repaint risks.
- Resources: Minimal overhead—no loops, arrays, or bar limits exceeded; suitable for real-time on any timeframe.
- Known limits: Fixed zones may lag in strong trends (price drifts away without reset); signals skip if no gap from prior zone, potentially missing clustered shifts. Assumes standard OHLC data; untested on non-equity assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA Length at 50 and Smoother Length at 3 for balanced daily charts. If signals fire too frequently (e.g., in ranges), extend EMA Length to 100 for fewer but stabler zones. For sluggish response in trends, drop Smoother Length to 2 and EMA Length to 30, monitoring for added noise. In high-vol setups, widen both to 75/5 to filter extremes, trading speed for reliability.

Low and Preceding High (Breakout + Bullis fgv + Extending Fib)🚀 Last Low & Preceding High: Bullish Reversal Strategy
This indicator identifies high-probability long setups by confirming a Bullish Market Structure Shift (BMS) coupled with a strong momentum filter.
🧠 Indicator Logic (How It Works)
The core function of this tool is to automatically locate the key structural points that lead to a bullish bias:
Structure Identification: It first defines a Range between the two most recent Pivot Lows. Within this range, it finds the Preceding High (the highest close before the current low) and the true Low Anchor (the lowest low/tail of the pivot low).
Breakout and Momentum Filter: A valid signal requires two conditions to be met on the current bar:
Bullish Breakout: The price must close above the Preceding High.
Marubozu Confirmation: A strong Bullish Marubozu candle (minimal wicks) must be present in the impulse move from the low, filtering for institutional strength.
Fibonacci Discount Zones: Upon confirmation, the indicator calculates and plots the discount zones (0.50, 0.618, 0.786) using the true extremes (tail-to-tail anchors). These zones start extending from the breakout candle and represent high-value areas for potential entries.
🎯 Entry and Risk Management
The strategy provides clear rules for execution once the logic is confirmed:
Entry Execution:
Wait for Retracement: Enter a Long position when the price retraces back into the colored Discount Zones (0.50 to 0.786).
Risk Control:
🛑 Stop Loss (SL): Placed below the Low Line (the swing low that initiated the move).
✅ Take Profit (TP): Placed above the High Line (the high that was broken).
Final note
"Special thanks to Mr. Mazen (@dr0chart) for developing this strategy."
Outside Candle Session Breakout [CHE]Outside Candle Session Breakout
Session - anchored HTF levels for clear market-structure and precise breakout context
Summary
This indicator is a relevant market-structure tool. It anchors the session to the first higher-timeframe bar, then activates only when the second bar forms an outside condition. Price frequently reacts around these anchors, which provides precise breakout context and a clear overview on both lower and higher timeframes. Robustness comes from close-based validation, an adaptive volatility and tick buffer, first-touch enforcement, optional retest, one-signal-per-session, cooldown, and an optional trend filter.
Pine version: v6. Overlay: true.
Motivation: Why this design?
Short-term breakout tools often trigger during noise, duplicate within the same session, or drift when volatility shifts. The core idea is to gate signals behind a meaningful structure event: a first-bar anchor and a subsequent outside bar on the session timeframe. This narrows attention to structurally important breaks while adaptive buffering and debouncing reduce false or mid-run triggers.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Simple high-low breaks or fixed buffers without session context.
Architecture: Session-anchored first-bar high/low; outside-bar gate; close-based confirmation with an adaptive ATR and tick buffer; first-touch enforcement; optional retest window; one-signal-per-session and cooldown; optional EMA trend and slope filter; higher-timeframe aggregation with lookahead disabled; themeable visuals and a range fill between levels.
Practical effect: Cleaner timing at structurally relevant levels, fewer redundant or late triggers, and better multi-timeframe situational awareness.
How it works (technical)
The chart timeframe is mapped to an analysis timeframe and a session timeframe.
The first session bar defines the anchor high and low. The setup becomes active only after the next bar forms an outside range relative to that first bar.
While active, the script tracks these anchors and checks for a breakout beyond a buffered threshold, using closing prices or wicks by preference.
The buffer scales with volatility and is limited by a minimum tick floor. First-touch enforcement avoids mid-run confirmations.
Optional retest requires a pullback to the raw anchor followed by a new close beyond the buffered level within a user window.
Optional trend gating uses an EMA on the analysis timeframe, including an optional slope requirement and price-location check.
Higher-timeframe data is requested with lookahead disabled. Values can update during a forming higher-timeframe bar; waiting and confirmation mitigate timing shifts.
Parameter Guide
Enable Long / Enable Short — Direction toggles. Default: true / true. Reduces unwanted side.
Wait Candles — Minimum bars after outside confirmation before entries. Default: five. More waiting increases stability.
Close-based Breakout — Confirm on candle close beyond buffer. Default: true. For wick sensitivity, disable.
ATR Buffer — Enables adaptive volatility buffer. Default: true.
ATR Multiplier — Buffer scaling. Default: zero point two. Increase to reduce noise.
Ticks Buffer — Minimum buffer in ticks. Default: two. Protects in quiet markets.
Cooldown Bars — Blocks new signals after a trigger. Default: three.
One Signal per Session — Prevents duplicates within a session. Default: true.
Require Retest — Pullback to raw anchor before confirming. Default: false.
Retest Window — Bars allowed for retest completion. Default: five.
HTF Trend Filter — EMA-based gating. Default: false.
EMA Length — EMA period. Default: two hundred.
Slope — Require EMA slope direction. Default: true.
Price Above/Below EMA — Require price location relative to EMA. Default: true.
Show Levels / Highlight Session / Show Signals — Visual controls. Default: true.
Color Theme — “Blue-Green” (default), “Monochrome”, “Earth Tones”, “Classic”, “Dark”.
Time Period Box — Visibility, size, position, and colors for the info box. (Optional)
Reading & Interpretation
The two level lines represent the session’s first-bar high and low. The filled band illustrates the active session range.
“OUT” marks that the outside condition is confirmed and the setup is live.
“LONG” or “SHORT” appears only when the breakout clears buffer, debounce, and optional gates.
Background tint indicates sessions where the setup is valid.
Alerts fire on confirmed long or short breakout events.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend-following: Keep close-based validation, ATR buffer near the default, one-signal-per-session enabled; add EMA trend and slope for directional bias.
Retest confirmation: Enable retest with a short window to prioritize cleaner continuation after a pullback.
Lower-timeframe scalping: Reduce waiting and cooldown slightly; keep a small tick buffer to filter micro-whips.
Swing and position context: Increase ATR multiplier and waiting; maintain once-per-session to limit duplicates.
Timeframe Tiers and Trader Profiles
The script adapts its internal mapping based on the chart timeframe:
Under fifteen minutes → Analysis: one minute; Session: sixty minutes. Useful for scalpers and high-frequency intraday reads.
Between fifteen and under sixty minutes → Analysis: fifteen minutes; Session: one day. Suits day traders who need intraday alignment to the daily session.
Between sixty minutes and under one day → Analysis: sixty minutes; Session: one week. Serves intraday-to-swing transitions and end-of-day planning.
Between one day and under one week → Analysis: two hundred forty minutes; Session: two weeks. Fits swing traders who monitor multi-day structure.
Between one week and under thirty days → Analysis: one day; Session: three months. Supports position traders seeking quarterly context.
Thirty days and above → Analysis: one day; Session: twelve months. Provides a broad annual anchor for macro context.
These tiers are designed to keep anchors meaningful across regimes while preserving responsiveness appropriate to the trader profile.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals can be validated on closed bars through close-based logic; enabling this reduces intrabar flicker.
Higher-timeframe values may evolve during a forming bar; waiting parameters and the outside-bar gate reduce, but do not remove, this effect.
Resource footprint is light; the script uses standard indicators and a single higher-timeframe request per stream.
Known limits: rare setups during very quiet periods, sensitivity to gaps, and reduced reliability on illiquid symbols.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with close-based validation on, ATR buffer on with a multiplier near zero point two, tick buffer two, cooldown three, once-per-session on.
Too many flips: increase the ATR multiplier and cooldown; consider enabling the EMA filter and slope.
Too sluggish: reduce the ATR multiplier and waiting; disable retest.
Choppy conditions: keep close-based validation, increase tick buffer, shorten the retest window.

Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence
⚙️ Components & Sequence Multiple Timeframe (What It Does)
1. Bollinger Bands – Form the foundation by measuring volatility and creating the dynamic range where squeezes and breakouts occur.
2. Squeeze Dots – Show when price compresses inside the bands, signaling reduced volatility before expansion.
3. Breakout Event (Brk Dot) – Fires when price expands beyond the squeeze zone, confirming volatility expansion. (This paints Intra, before candle close)
4. Buy Signal – Confirms entry after a breakout is validated. (This paints at candle close)
5. Pump Signal – Flags sudden surges that extend sharply from the bands, often linked to strong inflows.
6. Momentum Stream – Tracks the strength of movement following the breakout, from continuation (🟢) to slowing (🟡) to exhaustion (🔴). (Resets at Pump Signal)
7. Overbought Indicator – Confirms when momentum has reached overheated conditions, often aligning with band extremes.
8. Sell Signal – Prints when exhaustion/reversal conditions are met, closing the trade cycle.
The Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence is a no-repaint event indicator that maps a full trade cycle using Bollinger-band-based volatility states: Bollinger Bands → Squeeze → Breakout → Buy → Pump → Momentum → Top Test → Overbought → Sell. Each stage is rule-based and designed to be read on standard candlesticks.
How It Works (System Logic)
Volatility framework: Bollinger Bands define dynamic range and compression/expansion.
Initiation: Squeeze → Breakout confirms expansion; Buy validates participation after expansion begins.
Management: Pump highlights unusual acceleration; Momentum stream tracks continuation → slowing → exhaustion.
Exhaustion/Exit: Top Testing + Overbought build the exhaustion case; Sell marks the sequence end.
How To Use (Quick Guide)
Wait for Squeeze → Breakout → Buy to establish a structured start.
Manage with Momentum:
🟢 continuation, 🟡 slowing, 🔴 exhaustion pressure.
Monitor extremes: Top Testing and/or Overbought = tighten risk.
Exit on Sell or on your risk rules when exhaustion builds.
Limitations & Good Practice
Signals reflect price/volatility behavior, not certainty.
Strong trends can remain extended; Overbought/Top Test ≠ instant reversal.
Always confirm with your own risk rules, position sizing, and market context.
Initial public release: integrated Squeeze/Breakout/Buy → Momentum → Exhaustion → Sell cycle; improved label clarity; cleaned defaults.

CTA-min D1 — Donchian 55/20 Trend Breakout (ATR Risk)What it is
A clean, daily trend-following breakout inspired by classic CTA/Turtle logic. It buys strength and sells weakness, then lets winners run with a channel-based trailing stop. No curve-fitting, no clutter—just rules.
How it trades
Timeframe: Daily (D1)
Entry: Close breaks the previous 55-bar Donchian channel (above for longs, below for shorts).
Exit/Trail: Trailing stop at the 20-bar Donchian channel on the opposite side (no fixed TP).
Risk: Initial stop = ATR(N) × stopMult (ATR is smoothed). Position size risks riskPct% of equity based on stop distance.
Labels: “BUY/SELL” only on the entry bar; “STOP BUY/STOP SELL” only on the exit bar.
Pyramiding: Off (one position at a time).
Regime Alignment with EMAs (recommended filter, not enforced by code)
Add EMA 50 and EMA 200 to the D1 chart.
Long bias: take BUY signals only when EMA50 > EMA200 (bullish regime).
Short bias: take SELL signals only when EMA50 < EMA200 (bearish regime).
Optional: for extra selectivity, require the H4 EMAs (50/200) to align with D1 before acting on a signal.
Inputs
entryN (55), exitN (20), atrLen (20), atrSmooth (10), stopMult (2.0), riskPct (0.5%–1.0% recommended).
Works well on (tested by user)
BTCUSD (Bitcoin), EURUSD, GBPJPY, NAS100/US100, USDJPY, AUDUSD, XAGUSD (Silver), US30 (Dow), JP225 (Nikkei), EURGBP, NZDUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF.
How to use
Apply to D1 charts. Review once per day after the daily close and execute next session open to mirror backtest assumptions. Best used as a portfolio strategy across multiple uncorrelated markets. Use the EMA alignment above as a discretionary regime filter to reduce false breakouts.
Notes
For educational use. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results. Use responsible position sizing.
OBV Breakout Screener (By Tarso)1. Purpose of the Indicator
The "Advanced OBV Breakout Screener" is a specialized tool designed to find a powerful bullish signal. It scans for assets where buying pressure is increasing significantly, even though the price has not yet broken out.
The core strategy is to identify assets where:
Volume is leading Price: The On-Balance Volume (OBV) has already broken its recent high.
Price is still contained: The asset's price has not yet broken its recent high.
This setup helps you find potential trading opportunities right before a possible upward move.
2. How to Set Up the Indicator
First, you need to add the script to your TradingView account.
Open any chart on TradingView.
Click on the "Pine Editor" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Delete any existing code and paste the entire "Advanced OBV Breakout Screener" script into the editor.
Click "Add to chart". The indicator will now appear in a separate panel below your main price chart.
3. How to Use it with the Pine Screener (Step-by-Step)
This is the main purpose of the indicator. The script does all the complex analysis and provides a simple "1" (Signal is ON) or "0" (Signal is OFF). You only need to set up one filter.
Open the Stock Screener (or Crypto/Forex Screener).
Click the Filters button to open the settings panel.
Ensure you are on the Pine Screener tab (this allows you to filter using custom indicators).
In the indicator selection menu (it might say "Select Indicator..."), find and choose Advanced OBV Breakout Screener from your list.
Now, configure the single filter condition as follows:
In the first box, select Advanced Breakout Signal.
In the second box, select Equal to.
In the third box, select Number and type 1.
Your filter setup should look clean and simple, like this:
That's it! The screener will now display a list of all assets that currently meet the "Advanced Breakout" criteria for the timeframe you have selected (e.g., Daily, 4h, 1h).
4. Configuring the Lookback Period
By default, the indicator analyzes the last 20 periods. If you want to change this (for example, to scan for breakouts over 50 days), you must adjust it in the indicator's settings on your chart.
Go back to your chart view.
Find the "Advanced OBV Breakout Screener" panel.
Click the Settings icon (⚙️) next to the indicator's name.
In the "Inputs" tab, change the "Lookback Period (days)" to your desired value.
Click "OK".
The Pine Screener will automatically use this new setting for its market scan.
5. Understanding the On-Chart Visuals
When you add the indicator to your chart, you will see:
Blue Line: This is the On-Balance Volume (OBV).
Red Stepped Line: This represents the highest value the OBV has reached during the lookback period. A breakout happens when the blue line moves above this red line.
Green Triangle (▲): This symbol appears below a price candle whenever the full "Advanced Breakout" condition (OBV breakout + Price containment) is met, giving you a clear visual confirmation.
volatility-adjusted breakout envelopethis indicator is designed to help traders visually identify potential entry and exit points based on volatility-adjusted price thresholds. it works by calculating a dynamic expected price move around the previous close using historical volatility data smoothed by exponential moving averages to reduce noise and present a clear range boundary on the chart.
the indicator first computes the logarithmic returns over a user-defined lookback period and calculates the standard deviation of these returns, which represents raw volatility. it annualizes this volatility according to the chart timeframe selected, then uses it to estimate an expected price movement for the current timeframe. this expected move is smoothed to avoid sudden spikes or drops that could cause confusing signals.
using this expected move, the indicator generates two key threshold lines: an upper threshold and a lower threshold. these lines create a volatility-based range around the smoothed previous close price. the thresholds themselves are further smoothed with exponential moving averages to produce smooth, easy-to-interpret lines that adapt to changing market conditions without being choppy.
the core trading signals are generated when the price closes outside of these smoothed threshold ranges. specifically, a long entry signal is indicated when the price closes above the upper threshold for the first time, signaling potential upward momentum beyond normal volatility expectations. a short entry signal occurs when the price closes below the lower threshold for the first time, indicating potential downward momentum.
once an entry signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the price to close back inside the threshold range before signaling an exit. when this occurs, an exit marker is displayed to indicate that the price has returned within normal volatility bounds, which may suggest that the previous trend is losing strength or the breakout has ended.
these signals are visually represented on the chart using small shapes: triangles pointing upwards mark the initial long entries, triangles pointing downwards mark short entries, and x shapes mark the exits for both long and short positions. the colors of these shapes are customizable to suit user preferences.
to use this indicator effectively, traders should watch for the first close outside the smoothed volatility range to consider entering a position in the breakout direction. the exit signals help identify when price action reverts back into the expected range, which can be used to close or reduce the position. this method emphasizes trading breakouts supported by statistically significant moves relative to recent volatility while providing a clear exit discipline.
this indicator is best applied to intraday or daily charts with consistent volatility and volume characteristics. users should adjust the volatility lookback period, smoothing factor, and trading session times to match their specific market and trading style. because it relies on price volatility rather than fixed price levels, it can adapt to changing market conditions but should be combined with other analysis tools and proper risk management.
overall, this indicator provides a smoothed, dynamic volatility envelope with clear visual entry and exit cues based on first closes outside and back inside these envelopes, making it a helpful assistant for manual traders seeking to capture statistically significant breakouts while maintaining disciplined exits.
Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.
Low Volatility Breakout Detector)This indicator is designed to visually identify potential breakouts from consolidation during periods of low volatility. It is based on classic Bollinger Bands and relative volume. Its primary purpose is not to generate buy or sell signals but to assist in spotting moments when the market exits a stagnation phase.
Arrows appear only when the price breaks above the upper or below the lower Bollinger Band, the band width is below a specified threshold (expressed in percentage), and volume is above its moving average multiplied by a chosen multiplier (default is 1). This combination may indicate the start of a new impulse following a period of low activity.
The chart background during low volatility is colored based on volume strength—the lower the volume during stagnation, the less transparent the background. This helps quickly spot unusual market behavior under seemingly calm conditions. The background opacity is dynamically scaled relative to the range of volumes over a selected period, which can be set manually (default is 50 bars).
The indicator works best in classic horizontal consolidations, where price moves within a narrow range and volatility and volume clearly decline. It is not intended to detect breakouts from formations such as triangles or wedges, which may not always exhibit low volatility relative to Bollinger Bands.
Settings allow you to adjust:
Bollinger Band length and multiplier,
Volatility threshold (in %),
Background and arrow colors,
Volume moving average length and multiplier,
Bar range used for background opacity scaling.
Note: For reliable results, it’s advisable to tailor the volatility threshold and volume/background ranges to the specific market and timeframe, as different instruments have distinct dynamics. If you want the background color to closely match the color of breakout arrows, you should set the same volume analysis period as the volume moving average length.
Additional note: To achieve a cleaner chart and focus solely on breakout signals, you can disable the background and Bollinger Bands display in the settings. This will leave only the breakout arrows visible on the chart, providing a clearer and more readable market picture.
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions
NY ORB, VWAP & EMAsIndicator is designed to display key technical analysis tools on your Trading View chart. It includes:
One of the key benefits of this indicator is that it allows Basic Trading View users to set VWAP, EMAs, and ORB in a single indicator. This is particularly useful for users who are limited to a single indicator on their Basic plan, as it provides a comprehensive view of market sentiment, trend, and potential breakouts without the need for multiple indicators.

Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Displays the VWAP line, which can be toggled on or off.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Plots four EMAs (9, 21, 50, and 200 periods), which can also be toggled on or off.
Customization
ORB Length: Choose from 5 or 15 minutes for the ORB calculation.
Show VWAP and EMAs: Toggle the visibility of the VWAP and EMA lines on or off.
Usage
This indicator is designed to help traders identify key market levels, trends, and potential breakouts during the New York trading session. The ORB can be used to gauge market sentiment, while the VWAP provides a benchmark for average price action. The EMAs offer additional trend analysis and can be used to identify potential support and resistance levels.
Donchian Breakout Strategy📈 Donchian Breakout Strategy (Inspired by Way of the Turtle)
This strategy is a modern adaptation of the legendary Turtle Trading system as taught in Way of the Turtle by Curtis Faith — re-engineered for the crypto market’s volatility, 24/7 nature, and frequent fakeouts.
⸻
🐢 Original Inspiration
The original Turtle system, created by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt, used:
• Breakouts of Donchian Channels (20-day for entry, 10-day for exit)
• Volatility-based position sizing using ATR (N)
• Simple rules, big trend exposure, and pyramiding to grow winners
It was built for futures and commodities, trading daily bars, assuming stable trading hours and regulated markets.
⸻
🚀 What’s Different in This Strategy?
✅ Optimized for Crypto
• Adapts to constant volatility and price manipulation common in crypto
• Adds commission modeling for realistic results (0.045% default)
✅ Improved Entry Filtering
• Uses EMA filter to align with trend direction
• Adds RSI momentum check to avoid early or weak breakouts
• Optional volatility and volume filters to reduce false signals
✅ Smarter Exits
• ATR-based volatility stop loss, not just Donchian reversal
• Avoids pyramiding to reduce risk from sudden reversals
