Return Line Uptrends [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator simply plots multi-part return line uptrends and should be used in conjunction with my Downtrends, Uptrends and Return Line Downtrends indicators as a visual aid to my Trend Counter indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Trends
• A multi-part return line uptrend begins with the formation of a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, and continues until a new downtrend, or lower peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part downtrend begins with the formation of a new downtrend, or lower peak, and continues until a new return line uptrend, or higher peak, completes the trend.
• A multi-part uptrend begins with the formation of a new uptrend, or higher trough, and continues until a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, completes the trend.
• A multi-part return line downtrend begins with the formation of a new return line downtrend, or lower trough, and continues until a new uptrend, or higher trough, completes the trend.
█ FEATURES
Plots
Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote return line uptrends.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.

Trend Counter [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator counts the number of confirmed trend scenarios on any given candlestick chart and displays the statistics in a table, which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, forty-one rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding return line uptrend and uptrend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding downtrend and return line downtrend scenarios.
The trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the trend scenarios as percentage of total 1-part trends. And columns four and seven display the total trend scenarios as percentages of the, last, or preceding trend part. For example 4-part trends as a percentages of 3-part trends. This offers more insight into what might happen next at any given point in time.
Plots
For a visual aid to this indicator please use in conjunction with my Return Line Uptrends, Downtrends, Uptrends and Return Line Downtrends indicators which can all be found on my profile page under scripts, or in community scripts under the same names. Unfortunately, I could not fit all the plots with the correct offsets into one script so I had to make a separate indicator for each trend type. I decided against labels as this would limit the visual data points to 500.
Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote return line uptrends and uptrends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote downtrends and return line downtrends.
█ HOW TO USE
This is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current trend will continue or fail, based on the current trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be very useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
The green and red candle calculations are based solely on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.
FVGs & CEs + Alerts: simple & efficient methodFair Value Gap indicator: Paints FVGs and their midlines (CEs). Stops painting when CE is hit, or when fully filled; user choice of threshold. This threshold is also used in the Alert conditions.
~~Plotted here on ES1! (CME), on the 15m timeframe~~
-A FVG represents a 'naked' body where the wicks/tails on either side do not meet. This can be seen as a type of 'gap', which price will have a tendency to want to re-fill (in part or in full).
-The midline (CE, or 'Consequent encroachment') of FVGs also tend to show price sensitivity.
-This indicator paints all FVGs until priced into, and should give an idea of which are more meaningful and which are best ignored (based on context: location, Time of day, market structure, etc).
-This is a simpler and more efficient method of painting Fair value gaps which auto-stop painting when price reaches them.
//Aims of Publishing:
-Education of ICT concepts of Fair Value Gaps and their midlines (CEs): To easily see via forward testing or backtesting, the sensitivity that price shows to these areas & levels.
-Demonstration of a much more efficient way of plotting FVGs which terminate at price, thanks to a modification of @Bjorgums's clever looping method referenced below.
//Settings:
-Toggle on/off upward and downward FVGs independently(blue and orange by default).
-Toggle on/off midline (CE).
-Standard color/line formatting options.
-Choose Threshold: CE of FVG or Full Fill of FVG: This will determine both the 'stop-painting' trigger and the 'Alert' trigger.
-Choose number of days lookback to control how many historical FVGs paint on chart.
//On alerts:
-Simple choice of 2 alerts:
~~One for price crossing into/above the nearest untouched 'premium' FVG above ( orange ). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
~~Another for price crossing into/below the nearest untouched 'discount' FVG below (blue). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
-Alerts set via the three dots in indicator status line.
//Cautionary notes:
-Do not use the alerts blindly to find trades. Wait until you have identified a good FVG above/below which you think price may show sensitivity to
-Usage on very low timeframes can cause unexpected results with alerts: due to new FVGs forming in realtime the Alert will always trigger at the most recent FVG above/ below having its threshold hit.
-Big thank you to @Bjorgum for his fantastic extendAndRemove method. Modified here for use with boxes and to integrate Alerts.
-Also Credit to ICT (inner circle trader) for the concepts used here: Fair value gaps and their Consequent Encroachment (CE).
Typical Sweeps: Pivot high/low boxes. Grade sweeps, Handles/PipsTool to show typical pip-grade/ handle-grade sweep distance above pivot highs and pivot lows
-In consolidation/ranging periods (i.e. most of the time); Highs/Lows may by swept by fairly consistent distances in typical stop raids.
-Idea is from ICT teaching on typical Pip-grade sweeps in FX (10,20,30pips). Designed to work on FX, Indices, Commodities, Bitcoin.
-Above chart shows S&P; sweeping below and then above by 5 handles.
///inputs///
~choose sweep distance handles ($) or pips: will auto-calculate depending on the asset: FX= pips; Indices/stocks/commodities = handles ($)

Weekly Opening GAPThis indicator will plot the weekly opening gap on the chart. The gap will be carried forward until it is closed or the max line count is reached. Additionally the 1/4 levels inside the gap are plotted on the chart as weekly gaps can be large.
The weekly opening gap levels can act as targets and rejection points.
Optionally the script can also carry forward the top and bottom lines of the weekly opening gap for up to the 10 prior gaps. These lines are not removed when the gap is closed.
Price Legs & Fib Projections: Fibonacci Confluence-Plots price legs based on two user input lookback numbers. Smaller number for small legs, larger number for large legs.
-Plots Fib projections of these price legs, above and below; User can input four independent fib levels or standard deviation levels
## User Inputs ##
~Show visible chart only; Show price leg labels (time and price); show small legs (fibs and/or boxes); show large legs (fibs and/or boxes)
~Input 4 Fibonacci levels or measured move levels. Toggle each level on/off
~toggle on/off Fib levels ABOVE or fib levels BELOW
~extend Fib levels 'X' bars to the right, or toggle on/off 'Full Extend' to the right
## Tips & Notes ##
-use 'Full Extend' together with 'visible chart only' if searching for multiple confluence of Fib levels.
-can quickly get very cluttered, but the aim in writing this was to try to find area of confluence at a glance amongst a mess of levels, then hide the indicator and study/note that area.
-if lines don't print toward the left hand side of the chart you've likely reached the max line limit set by Tradingview.
-Fib level input of 1.0 represents zero % extension above the high or below the low of the leg; 2.0 represents 100% extension.
1hr S&P: Visible chart only; large legs only; 50%, 100%, 150%, 200% Fib extensions; Above only; lines extended fully to the right:
Usage notes; 15m S&P: Small & Large price legs; partial extend; all fib levels above/below:
WON WeekliesWilliam O'Neil was a big proponent of using weekly charts, often highlighting the significance of 3 or more tight weekly closes, or a sequence of five or more consecutive up weeks. This indicator recognizes both of these conditions providing clear visual cues to signify this institutional buying activity. When three tight weekly closes or more occur a circle will be drawn around the middle close or the background will change color, depending on user preference. If five or more consecutive up weeks are detected a box is drawn around all the price action of those weeks.
User Options:
- Choose to display both or only one condition
- Customizable colors
- Define what a tight close is (default is less than 1.5%)
- Change background color or display smaller circles for 3 weeks tight
- Alerts for both
Note: 5 weekly closes wont print until the 5th weeks candle is closed.
Harmonic Patterns Based Trend FollowerEarlier this week, published an idea on how harmonic patterns can be used for trend following. This script is an attempt to implement the same.
🎲 Process
🎯 Derive Zigzag and scan harmonic patterns for last 5 confirmed pivots
🎯 If a pattern is found, highest point of pattern will become the bullish zone and lower point of the pattern will become bearish zone.
🎯 Since it is trend following method, when price reaches bullish zone, then the trend is considered as bullish and when price reaches bearish zone, the trend is considered as bearish.
🎯 If price does not touch both regions, then trend remains unchanged.
🎯 Bullish and bearish zone will change as and when new patterns are formed.
🎲 Note
Patterns are not created on latest pivot as last pivot will be unconfirmed and moving. Due to this, patterns appear after certain delay - patterns will not be real time. But, this is expected and does not impact the overall process.
When new pattern formed
When price breaks over the zones
🎲 Output
🎯 Patterns formed are drawn in blue coloured lines. Due to pine limitation of max 500 lines, older patterns automatically get deleted when new ones come.
🎯 Bullish Zone and Bearish Zone are plotted in green and red colours and the zone will change whenever new pattern comes along.
🎯 Bar colors are changed according to calculated trend. Trend value can be 1 or -1 based on the current trend. You can also find the value in data window.
🎯 For simplicity purpose, input option for selection of specific patterns are not provided and also pattern names are not displayed on the chart.
Imbalance Detector [LuxAlgo]This indicator detects and highlights market imbalances alongside a dashboard returning information about their frequency of occurrence and their fill percentage. Imbalances included in this script are Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Opening Gaps (OG) and Volume Imbalances (VI).
Alerts are available for the occurrences of all market imbalances.
Settings
Imbalances
Each imbalance has the same settings layout:
Imbalance: Enable/disable the detection of the specific imbalance.
Min Width: If enabled, requires the imbalance area width to be greater than the specified value. This minimum width can be expressed in points, percentages or ATR multiples.
Extend: Extend imbalances by a specified number of bars.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Enable/disable the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Size: Size of the dashboard.
Usage
Market imbalances are part of the many concepts available to price action traders and highlight areas where there is a disparity between supply and demand.
It is common to see price come back to these areas and traders often use them as supports and resistances but also as targets.
Details
The script can detect three distinct types of imbalances described below.
Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are three candle formations characterized by a gap between the wicks of the non-adjacent candles in the formation.
A bullish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price low and the 2 bars anterior price high, and a bearish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price high and the 2 bars anterior price low.
Opening Gaps
Opening Gaps (OG) are imbalances characterized by non-existent activity within a specific price range.
A bullish OG occurs when the current price low is greater than the previous high, a bearish OG occurs when price high is lower than the previous price low.
Opening Gaps primarily occur in closing markets, as such they are less common in the cryptocurrency market.
Most of the time an Opening Gap will also be accompanied by a Fair Value Gap, in order to avoid clutter the indicator will not detect Fair Value Gaps if Opening Gaps are enabled and if an Opening Gap has been detected
Volume Imbalances
Volume Imbalances (VI) are characterized by a price discontinuity between the opening price and previous close, but unlike Opening Gaps we do not see nonexistent activity within a certain price range.
A bullish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are superior to the previous closing price, with the current price low overlapping the previous price high. A bearish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are inferior to the previous closing price, with the current price high overlapping the previous price low.
Because Volume Imbalances can occur excessively on markets with frequent gaps, we make use of an additional condition for filtering out less significant imbalances. Bullish VI's will require the previous price high to be lower than the opening price, while bullish VI's will require the previous price low to be higher than the opening price.
Harmonic Pattern Detection, Prediction, and Backtesting ToolOverview:
The ultimate harmonic XABCD pattern identification, prediction, and backtesting system.
Harmonic patterns are among the most accurate of trading signals, yet they're widely underutilized because they can be difficult to spot and tedious to validate. If you've ever come across a pattern and struggled with questions like "are these retracement ratios close enough to the harmonic ratios?" or "what are the Potential Reversal levels and are they confluent with point D?", then this tool is your new best friend. Or, if you've never traded harmonic patterns before, maybe it's time to start. Put away your drawing tools and calculators, relax, and let this indicator do the heavy lifting for you.
- Identification -
An exhaustive search across multiple pivot lengths ensures that even the sneakiest harmonic patterns are identified. Each pattern is evaluated and assigned a score, making it easy to differentiate weak patterns from strong ones. Tooltips under the pattern labels show a detailed breakdown of the pattern's score and retracement ratios (see the Scoring section below for details).
- Prediction -
After a pattern is identified, paths to potential targets are drawn, and Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) levels are plotted based on the retracement ratios of the harmonic pattern. Targets are customizable by pattern type (e.g. you can specify one set of targets for a Gartley and another for a Bat, etc).
- Backtesting -
A table shows the results of all the patterns found in the chart. Change your target, stop-loss, and % error inputs and observe how it affects your success rate.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Scoring
//------------------------------------------------------
A percentage-based score is calculated from four components:
(1) Retracement % Accuracy - this measures how closely the pattern's retracement ratios match the theoretical values (fibs) defined for a given harmonic pattern. You can change the "Allowed fib ratio error %" in Settings to be more or less inclusive.
(2) PRZ Level Confluence - Potential Reversal Zone levels are projected from retracements of the XA and BC legs. The PRZ Level Confluence component measures the closeness of the closest XA and BC retracement levels, relative to the total height of the PRZ.
(3) Point D / PRZ Confluence - this measures the closeness of point D to either of the closest two PRZ levels (identified in the PRZ Level Confluence component above), relative to the total height of the PRZ. In theory, the closer together these levels are, the higher the probability of a reversal.
(4) Leg Length Symmetry - this measures the ΔX symmetry of each leg. You can change the "Allowed leg length asymmetry %" in settings to be more or less inclusive.
So, a score of 100% would mean that (1) all leg retracements match the theoretical fib ratios exactly (to 16 decimal places), (2) the closest XA and BC PRZ levels are exactly the same, (3) point D is exactly at the confluent PRZ level, and (4) all legs are exactly the same number of bars. While this is theoretically possible, you have better odds of getting struck by lightning twice on a sunny day.
Calculation weights of all four components can be changed in Settings.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Targets
//------------------------------------------------------
A hard-coded set of targets are available to choose from, and can be applied to each pattern type individually:
(1) .618 XA = .618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(2) 1.272 XA = 1.272 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(3) 1.618 XA = 1.618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(4) .618 CD = .618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(5) 1.272 CD = 1.272 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(6) 1.618 CD = 1.618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(7) A = point A
(8) B = point B
(9) C = point C
//------------------------------------------------------
// Stops
//------------------------------------------------------
Stop-loss levels are also user-defined, in one of three ways:
(1) % beyond the furthest PRZ level (below the PRZ level for bullish patterns, and above for bearish)
(2) % beyond point D
(3) % of distance to Target 1, beyond point D. This method allows for a proper Risk:Reward approach by defining your potential losses as a percentage of the potential gains. This is the default.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Results Table / Backtesting Statistics
//------------------------------------------------------
To properly assess the effectiveness of a specific pattern type, a time limit is enforced for a completed pattern to reach the targets or the stop level. When this time limit expires, the pattern has "timed out", and is no longer considered in the Success Rate statistics. During the time limit period, if price reaches Target 1 before reaching the Stop level, the pattern is considered successful. Conversely, if price reaches the Stop level before reaching Target 1, the pattern is considered a failure. The time limit can be changed in Settings, and is defined in terms of the total pattern length (point X to point D). It is set to 1.5 by default.
Increasing the time limit value will give you more realistic Success Rate values, but will less accurately represent the success rate of the harmonic patterns (i.e. the more time that elapses after a pattern completes, the less likely it is that the price action is related to that pattern).
//------------------------------------------------------
// Coming soon...
//------------------------------------------------------
I have a handful of other features in development, including:
(1) Drawing incomplete patterns as they develop. This will allow you more time to plan entries and stops, or potentially trade reversals from point C to point D PRZ levels.
(2) Support for the Shark and Cypher patterns
(3) Alerts
Please report any bugs, runtime errors, other issues or enhancement suggestions.
I also welcome any feedback from experienced harmonic pattern traders, especially regarding your strategy for setting targets and stop-losses.

[FrizLabz]FVG Bar
For those of you that like to keep your charts nice and tidy for your Technical Analysis!
FVG = Fair Value Gap
Fair Value Gaps are when impulse movements create an imbalance in price leaving unfilled orders.. they are popular because after one is created we often observe price return to fill these unfilled orders
3 candles make a FVG
When the high/low of most recent candle is lower/high than the low/high of the bar before last
Similar to my other FVG indicator but this one allows you to delete Filled FVGs and have them adjust when filled
Uses a line whose x1 and x2 are on the FVG bar and adjust the size of the FVG with line width because line width on line.new()s doesnt have a cap on line width like plot()s do
Not much too it I made this because a few people were asking if they could delete the FVG after it was Mitigated and since my other uses plots it wasnt possible
so I hope this works for those who were asking about it
hope you enjoy please let me know if you have an idea or find a bug,
Thank You! -
3 EMAs: Daily fixed and custom timeframe (cajole)Simply adds 3 exponential moving averages (EMAs) to the chart. Two are fixed to the daily scale (e.g., 200 and 50 days) and one adjusts to the chart's scale (e.g. 8 bars).
To use the 8-EMA as a trail stop, you can enable labels on the plot or on the price axis.
Heikin Ashi Smoothed Buy Sell (Sunseeder) I like to use it on the daily. This helps with indicating buy signals on the DXY, BITCOIN and ETH charts. You're able to customize the colors of the buy signals etc. Enjoy!
Candle Stick UpdateHeikin ashi chart so powerful that you can understand trend direction easily. But sometimes, this type of chart doesn't update properly and make no sense on real time. So I made this script. You can now change candle stick style default to heikin ashi (default / modified version) on the real time default chart without switching heikin ashi chart. Enjoy traders!!! And don't forget to press the like button :)
Multi Price AlertSometimes you need set some alert at specific price levels on a chart.
Now you able to set ten different price levels to get alert at this prices.
With this Indicator also Basic Accounts can set more than one alert at price levels.
How to Use :
1- Enable Indicator on your Chart
2- Input your prices on Indicator Settings
3- Active Indicator Alert on 1m Chart (Select Multi Price Alert on Conditions Menu & Once Per Bar on Options)
5- Enjoy !
Notice : If change at prices, you should remove and reset Alert again.
Good trading to all ...
J2S Backtest: 123-Stormer StrategyThis backtest presents the 123-Stormer strategy created by trader Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer". The strategy is advocates and shared by the trader through his YouTube channel without restrictions.
Note :
This is not an investment recommendation. The purpose of this study is only to share knowledge with the community on tradingview.
What is the purpose of the strategy?
The strategy is to buy the 123-Stormer pattern at the bottom of an uptrend and sell the 123-Stormer pattern at the top of a downtrend, aiming for a short stop for a long profit target.
To which timeframe of a chart is it applicable to?
Recommended for weekly and daily charts, as the signals are more reliable, being that strategy a good option for swing and position trading.
What about risk management and success rate?
The profit target is established by the author as being twice the risk assumed. Also according to the author, the strategy is mathematically positive, reaching around 65% of success rate in tradings.
How are the trends identified in this strategy?
Two averages are plotted to indicate the trend, a fast EMA average with an 8-week close and a slow EMA average with an 80-week close.
Uptrend happens whenever the fast EMA is above the slow EMA and prices are above the fast EMA. In this case, we should start looking for a LONG entry based on the signal of the 123-Stromer pattern to buying.
On the other hand, downtrend happens when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA and prices are below the fast EMA. In this case, we should start looking for a SHORT entry based on the signal of the 123-Stromer pattern to selling.
How to identify the 123-Stormer pattern for a LONG entry?
This pattern consists of three candles. The first candle has a higher low than the second candle's low, and the third candle has a higher low than the second candle's low. In this pattern, we will buy as soon as a trade occurs above the third candle's high, placing a stop as soon as a trade occurs below the second candle's low, with profit target twice the risk assumed. In another words, the amplitude of the prices of the three candles from the third candle’s high upwards. (you can use fibonacci extension to determine your stops and profit targets).
Importantly, the low of the three candles must be above the fast EMA average and in an uptrend.
How to identify the 123-Stormer pattern for a SHORT entry?
This pattern consists of three candles. The first candle has a lower high than the second candle's high, and the third candle has a lower high than the second candle's high. In this pattern, we will sell as soon as a trade occurs below the third candle's low, placing a stop as soon as a trade occurs above the second candle's high, with profit target twice the risk assumed. In other words, the amplitude of prices of the three candles from the third candle’s low down (you can use fibonacci extension to determine your stops and profit targets).
Importantly, the high of the three candles must be below the fast average and in a downtrend.
Tips and tricks
According to the author, the best signal for both LONG or SHORT entry is when the third candle is a inside bar of second candle.
Backtest features
Backtest parameters are fully customizable. The user chooses to validate only LONG or SHORT entries, or both. It is also possible to determine the specific time period for running the backtests, as well as setting a threshold in candels for entry by the 123-Stormer pattern.
Furthermore, for validation purposes, you can choose to activate the best signal of the pattern recommended by the author of the strategy, as well as change the values of the EMA averages or even deactivate them.
Final message
Feel free to provide me with any improvement suggestions for the backtest script. Bear in mind, feel free to use the ideas in my script in your studies.

Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label.
Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information.
In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings.
█ DETAILS
First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence.
Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label.
This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader.
How this indicator works:
I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information.
It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label.
I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis.
The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break.
Volume Structure:
Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles.
Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle.
Lower TimeFrame Settings:
There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter.
So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided.
Limitations:
Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label.
█ How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS:
This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy.
I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story.
Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax.
Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle.
Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture.
█ Conclusion
Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading.

Swing Failure Reversal StrategyThis strategy is using Swing Failure Patterns as a reversion indicator.
The strategy automatically adapts itself to the timeframe of the current chart.
Swing Failure Pattern occurs when the price trend fails to set new highs in uptrend or meet new lows in a downtrend. This pattern helps traders decide when to enter and exit the market. Usually, traders enter in the downtrend i.e. lower price highs and lower price lows, and exit in the uptrend situation i.e. higher price highs and higher price lows. Thus, traders go against the current trend. This helps the traders take advantage of early trend reversal indicators.
Types of Failure Swing :
Failure Swing Top: This occurs when the stock price goes higher whereas the RSI fails to make a higher high and falls below the recent fail point. The Fail Point is where the RSI line is below the recent swing low. This Failure Swing indicates a short position.
Failure Swing Bottom: This occurs when the stock price gets lower whereas RSI fails to make a lower low and rises over the recent fail point. Fail point is the point where the RSI line is above the recent swing high. This Failure Swing indicates a long position.
SMC RulesThis script allowes you to have a plan always shown on the chart.
You know how it is, sometimes you miss things and if you dont see your plan then you miss maybe an important part... so for this i wrote that simple script here.
So far it has 5 Sections you can edit in the settings to your liking.
On top you can also edit the swing structure you are seeing, so you dont have to always swap timeframes.
Also implemented are the Session times for Frankfurt, London, New York and Asia.
Its not enabled on default, but i find it quiet handy to have..
(including alerts)
I will update it from time to time, if you wish for something just let me know.
Quasimodo Pattern by EmreKbThis indicator show the quasimodo patterns on the chart. Quasimodo pattern (QML) is the reversal pattern. This looks like head and shoulder pattern but this have two difference. On the quasimodo, second neck should be lower/higher (lower for the bearish, higher for the bullish) and quasimodo has no second shoulder. Usually QML line is an entry and head point is a stoplos.
Zigzag length is a length for the zigzag calculation.
Horns Pattern Identifier [LuxAlgo]The following script detects regular and inverted horn patterns. Detected patterns are displayed alongside their respective confirmation and take profit levels derived from the pattern measure rule. Breakout of the confirmation levels are highlighted with labels.
This script is a continuation of the educational idea regarding horns patterns.
Settings
Threshold: Controls the maximum allowed slope of the line connecting two horns, with higher values allowing a higher slope.
Usage
Horn patterns are chart patterns introduced by Bulkowski in his book "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns". We covered this pattern in the following post: Horn Tops & Bottoms Patterns - How To Find and Trade Them
The script allows the user to quickly determine the presence of a regular or inverted horn pattern, alongside automatically displaying the confirmation level and take profits associated with a detected pattern. These are calculated based on the rules described by Bulkowski.
Horn patterns are highlighted by a line connecting the horns, the dotted lines represent the confirmation level, once the price crosses this level a label will appear, either bullish or bearish depending on the detected pattern. The dashed line represents the take profit level.
Intraday Power 3 VisualDescription
This indicator draws a dynamic "Open High Low Close" type visual on intraday charts so the trader can easily keep track of the daily/weekly movement. This indicator was inspired by the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) “Power 3” concept, which is Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution of price on a daily timeframe.
Visual
This indicator plots the chosen timeframes opening price along with a live line for the current price. This makes it very easy to identify the daily/weekly range along it’s open. And the user can combine this indicator with my other indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions” to plot the midnight EST & 8:30 AM EST lines to get a great summation of over night price action.
Inputs and Style
In the Input section the user can dynamically switch between Daily and Weekly timeframes. Built in ability to move the entire Visual to the right makes preventing indicator overlap a breeze. All of the lines can be configured: color, style, and width. Independently toggle ON/OFF the Power 3 labels (Accumulation, Manipulation, Range Extension, Distribution) and can change labels color. The labels dynamically move and switch positions based upon bear or bull daily/weekly range.
Special Notes
The Futures market is open 23/5. It is closed everyday for 1-hour at 5pm EST and closed over the weekends. Because this Intraday Power 3 Visual is drawing in the 'future' on the users TradingView chart, when the visual is close or in a time when the market is closed, the visual doesn't behave properly. This is because TradingView doesn't display times when the Market is closed, thus the drawings cannot be displayed during those times. There is nothing wrong with the script. Please wait until the Market is open and the visual will be drawn normally.
This indicator is intended for use in the Futures Market
