Day of week, Forex FixCalendar to work on instruments that trade a 24 hour day like crypto and forex, also does not display if you are above an intraday time. Main tweak was to end the trading day at 0000 (midnight) instead of 1700 (5pm) NYC time.
This update is geared towards Forex traders, which is why I chose to highlight Wednesday in yellow since that is commonly thought of as a midweek reversal point.
@airscape built a good calendar indicator based on the work of @ChrisMoody, this is really an update to their work and directed towards FX and Crypto

Future development:
Toggle for light and dark themes
Adjustment/offset for DLST and local vs/ server time
Additional color bands to denote Asian/London/NYC sessions?
Text label for days instead of color option?

Forex strength meterCalculates the strength of a particular currency taking into account it's rate of change (% price change in a period) in all correlated and anti-correlated pairs. For instance, when looking for USD strength we will add ROC for USDCAD, USDCHF and USDJPY while subtract AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD and NZDUSD.
After ROC step, one can smooth the result using EMA, or MACD.
As the script needs to fetch values from multiple currencies it isn't the fastest one, but it gets its job done.
Important: Only major currencies (AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, NZD and USD) are considered.
Forex Trading Sessions with Daylight Savings TimeV1 - Max WarrenDifferent version of the CM one but everything is configurable and easy to manage.
Daylight savings may also be toggled, I cannot automatically toggle it yet but hopefully with a pine update I will be able to.
It had the four main sessions but version two could possibly have all of them as optional toggles
Hope it is useful
Forex Master (EUR/USD)ATTENTION:
This is a symmetrical algorithm designed only for trading EUR/USD on the 1h time frame. For other currency pairs and time frames, you need to re-calibrate the RSI-EMAs as well as the profit targets and stop losses.
BACKTEST CONDITIONS:
Initial equity = $100,000 (no leverage)
Order size = 100% of equity
Pyramiding = disabled
TRADING RULES:
Long entry = EMA20(RSI10) cross> 50
Profit limit = 50 pips
Stop loss = 50 pips
Short entry = EMA30(RSI30) cross< 50
Profit limit = 50 pips
Stop loss = 50 pips
Long entry = Short exit
Short entry = long exit

Indicator: Krivo Index [Forex]Krivo index, suggested by Richard Krivo, tries to quantify the "strength" of a currency by checking how many of its pairs are trading strongly (close above 200sma). As you can see from the chart, KI gives an excellent overview of their strength. Note how it correctly points out the JPY crash (Nov 2012).
I decided to implement KI for each currency separately to be compliant with Pine requirements. Also, this enables to add only the needed currency KI scripts (for ex., just CAD_KI and USD_KI). You can add the needed currency KI scripts and merge them all together to form a chart like this. Make sure you "right click" on all and select "Scale Right" (or "Scale Left". Thing to note is all KIs shd be aligned to the same scale).
I have published KI for only 5 currencies now, but can add more on request. BTW, this index is usable on all time frames.

Forex Multi Exchange VolumeHi traders! Forex Multi Exchange Volume (FMEV) aggregates and plots trading volumes for supported forex pairs over multiple different major forex exchanges.
Supported exchanges
- FXCM
- OANDA
- FOREX.COM
- PEPPERSTONE

Limitations
Because of the fact that FMEV is pulling data from from multiple different exchanges and is computationally intensive it can take a couple of seconds to load while charting certain forex pairs.
Forex Scalp Triggersthe triggers only work to tell you go back 5 candles on 5 min, take either lowest or highest plus 3 pips and make entry and go 3 pip over under trigger for stop loss. can take half profit at 1x and move stop to break even and go 1x more for take rest profit, or create a trailing stop loss on Take Profit level 2 and ride the trend.
1 Hour chart has to be over under the emas that are faned out nicely to move to 5 min chart to look for the signals if 1hr chart isnt over under the emas nicely then NO TRADE
ForexSignalTV helped create this strategy, just my first script so learning, want to take it to next level but kind of stuck for now. More knowledge coming...

It simplifies decision-making by turning complex signals into a straightforward dashboard that highlights where attention is needed most.
Forex Fire EMA/MA/RSI StrategyEURUSD
The entry method in the Forex Fire EMA/MA/RSI Strategy combines several conditions across two timeframes. Here's a breakdown of how entries are determined:
Long Entry Conditions:
15-Minute Timeframe Conditions:
EMA 13 > EMA 62 (short-term momentum is bullish)
Price > MA 200 (trading above the major trend indicator)
Fast RSI (7) > Slow RSI (28) (momentum is increasing)
Fast RSI > 50 (showing bullish momentum)
Volume is increasing compared to 20-period average
4-Hour Timeframe Confluence:
EMA 13 > EMA 62 (larger timeframe confirms bullish trend)
Price > MA 200 (confirming overall uptrend)
Slow RSI (28) > 40 (showing bullish bias)
Fast RSI > Slow RSI (momentum is supporting the move)
Additional Precision Requirement:
Either EMA 13 has just crossed above EMA 62 (crossover)
OR price has just crossed above MA 200
Short Entry Conditions:
15-Minute Timeframe Conditions:
EMA 13 < EMA 62 (short-term momentum is bearish)
Price < MA 200 (trading below the major trend indicator)
Fast RSI (7) < Slow RSI (28) (momentum is decreasing)
Fast RSI < 50 (showing bearish momentum)
Volume is increasing compared to 20-period average
4-Hour Timeframe Confluence:
EMA 13 < EMA 62 (larger timeframe confirms bearish trend)
Price < MA 200 (confirming overall downtrend)
Slow RSI (28) < 60 (showing bearish bias)
Fast RSI < Slow RSI (momentum is supporting the move)
Additional Precision Requirement:
Either EMA 13 has just crossed under EMA 62 (crossunder)
OR price has just crossed under MA 200
The key aspect of this strategy is that it requires alignment between the shorter timeframe (15m) and the larger timeframe (4h), which helps filter out false signals and focuses on trades that have strong multi-timeframe support. The crossover/crossunder requirement further refines entries by looking for actual changes in direction rather than just conditions that might have been in place for a long time.
Forex Pips Tracker PinescriptlabsThis algorithm is exclusively designed for the Forex market 🌐 and serves as a tool to measure volatility, helping to determine on average how many pips positions move per hour. With this information, a trader can place take profit and stop loss orders with greater certainty, since they know the average pip movement range during each hour of the day.
What does it do and how does it work?
• Volatility measurement in pips 📊:
The algorithm calculates the size of the movement (or range) of each candle expressed in pips. To do this, it takes the difference between the highest and lowest price of each candle and converts it into pips.
👉
• Time zone adjustment ⏰:
It allows you to configure the time zone so that the data aligns with your desired schedule. This is especially useful for comparing movements at different times based on the trader's location.
• Analysis by time intervals 🕒:
The algorithm’s logic organizes the information for each hour of the day. It stores data for the current day, the previous day, weekly, and historically (200 candles). This allows you to see how volatility varies across different periods, providing a dynamic view of market behavior.
👉
• Directionality of movement 🔄:
In addition to averaging the pip range, the algorithm determines the predominant direction of each candle (bullish or bearish). This translates into visual indicators (like arrows) that help identify whether, on average, the movement during that hour tends to go up or down.
• Table visualization 📈:
Finally, the information is presented in an integrated table on the chart. Each row corresponds to an hour of the day and shows the average number of pips and the direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) for each analyzed period. This table makes it easy to quickly and practically interpret the volatility data.
By combining these features, the algorithm becomes an essential tool for traders looking to better understand market dynamics and optimize their trading strategies! 💼✨
Español:
Este algoritmo está diseñado exclusivamente para el mercado Forex 🌐 y sirve como una herramienta para medir la volatilidad, ayudando a determinar en promedio cuántos pips se mueven las posiciones por hora. Con esta información, un trader puede colocar el take profit y el stop loss con mayor certeza, ya que conoce el rango promedio de movimiento en pips durante cada hora del día.
¿Qué hace y cómo funciona?
• Medición de volatilidad en pips 📊:
El algoritmo calcula el tamaño del movimiento (o rango) de cada vela expresado en pips. Para ello, toma la diferencia entre el precio máximo y el mínimo de cada vela y la convierte a pips.
👉
• Ajuste de zona horaria ⏰:
Permite configurar la zona horaria para que los datos se ajusten al horario deseado. Esto es especialmente útil para comparar movimientos durante distintas horas en función de la localización del trader.
• Análisis por intervalos de tiempo 🕒:
La lógica del algoritmo organiza la información por cada hora del día. Guarda datos para el día actual, el día anterior, a nivel semanal e histórico (200 velas). Esto permite ver cómo varía la volatilidad en diferentes periodos, proporcionando una visión dinámica del comportamiento del mercado.
👉
• Direccionalidad del movimiento 🔄:
Además de promediar el rango en pips, el algoritmo determina la dirección predominante de cada vela (alcista o bajista). Esto se traduce en indicadores visuales (como flechas) que permiten identificar si, en promedio, el movimiento en esa hora tiende a subir o bajar.
• Visualización en tabla 📈:
Finalmente, la información se presenta en una tabla integrada en el gráfico. Cada fila corresponde a una hora del día y muestra el promedio de pips y la dirección (alcista, bajista o neutral) para cada uno de los periodos analizados. Esta tabla facilita la interpretación rápida y práctica de los datos de volatilidad.
Al combinar estas funciones, el algoritmo se convierte en una herramienta esencial para traders que buscan entender mejor la dinámica del mercado y optimizar sus estrategias de trading! 💼✨
Forex Hammer and Hanging Man StrategyThe strategy is based on two key candlestick chart patterns: Hammer and Hanging Man. These chart patterns are widely used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in the market. Their relevance in the Forex market, known for its high liquidity and volatile price movements, is particularly pronounced. Both patterns provide insights into market sentiment and trader psychology, which are critical in currency trading, where short-term volatility plays a significant role.
1. Hammer:
• Typically occurs after a downtrend.
• Signals a potential trend reversal to the upside.
• A Hammer has:
• A small body (close and open are close to each other).
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• No or a very short upper shadow.
2. Hanging Man:
• Typically occurs after an uptrend.
• Signals a potential reversal to the downside.
• A Hanging Man has:
• A small body, similar to the Hammer.
• A long lower shadow, at least twice as long as the body.
• A small or no upper shadow.
These patterns are a manifestation of market psychology, specifically the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. The Hammer reflects a situation where sellers tried to push the price down but were overpowered by buyers, while the Hanging Man shows that buyers failed to maintain the upward movement, and sellers could take control.
Relevance of Chart Patterns in Forex
In the Forex market, chart patterns are vital tools because they offer insights into price action and market sentiment. Since Forex trading often involves large volumes of trades, chart patterns like the Hammer and Hanging Man are important for recognizing potential shifts in market momentum. These patterns are a part of technical analysis, which aims to forecast future price movements based on historical data, relying on the psychology of market participants.
Scientific Literature on the Relevance of Candlestick Patterns
1. Behavioral Finance and Candlestick Patterns:
Research on behavioral finance supports the idea that candlestick patterns, such as the Hammer and Hanging Man, are relevant because they reflect shifts in trader psychology and sentiment. According to Lo, Mamaysky, and Wang (2000), patterns like these could be seen as representations of collective investor behavior, influenced by overreaction, optimism, or pessimism, and can often signal reversals in market trends.
2. Statistical Validation of Chart Patterns:
Studies by Brock, Lakonishok, and LeBaron (1992) explored the profitability of technical analysis strategies, including candlestick patterns, and found evidence that certain patterns, such as the Hammer, can have predictive value in financial markets. While their study primarily focused on stock markets, their findings are generally applicable to the Forex market as well.
3. Market Efficiency and Candlestick Patterns:
The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) posits that all available information is reflected in asset prices, but some studies suggest that markets may not always be perfectly efficient, allowing for profitable exploitation of certain chart patterns. For instance, Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) found that momentum strategies, which often rely on price patterns and trends, could generate significant returns, suggesting that patterns like the Hammer or Hanging Man may provide a slight edge, particularly in short-term Forex trading.
Testing the Strategy in Forex Using the Provided Script
The provided script allows traders to test and evaluate the Hammer and Hanging Man patterns in Forex trading by entering positions when these patterns appear and holding the position for a specified number of periods. This strategy can be tested to assess its performance across different currency pairs and timeframes.
1. Testing on Different Timeframes:
• The effectiveness of candlestick patterns can vary across different timeframes, as market dynamics change with the level of detail in each timeframe. Shorter timeframes may provide more frequent signals, but with higher noise, while longer timeframes may produce more reliable signals, but with fewer opportunities. This multi-timeframe analysis could be an area to explore to enhance the strategy’s robustness.
2. Exit Strategies:
• The script incorporates an exit strategy where positions are closed after holding them for a specified number of periods. This is useful for testing how long the reversal patterns typically take to play out and when the optimal exit occurs for maximum profitability. It can also help to adjust the exit logic based on real-time market behavior.
Conclusion
The Hammer and Hanging Man patterns are widely recognized in technical analysis as potential reversal signals, and their application in Forex trading is valuable due to the market’s high volatility and liquidity. This strategy leverages these candlestick patterns to enter and exit trades based on shifts in market sentiment and psychology. Testing and optimization, as offered by the script, can help refine the strategy and improve its effectiveness.
For further refinement, it could be valuable to consider combining candlestick patterns with other technical indicators or using multi-timeframe analysis to confirm patterns and increase the probability of successful trades.

Forex Pair Yield Momentum This Pine Script strategy leverages yield differentials between the 2-year government bond yields of two countries to trade Forex pairs. Yield spreads are widely regarded as a fundamental driver of currency movements, as highlighted by international finance theories like the Interest Rate Parity (IRP), which suggests that currencies with higher yields tend to appreciate due to increased capital flows:
1. Dynamic Yield Spread Calculation:
• The strategy dynamically calculates the yield spread (yield_a - yield_b) for the chosen Forex pair.
• Example: For GBP/USD, the spread equals US 2Y Yield - UK 2Y Yield.
2. Momentum Analysis via Bollinger Bands:
• Yield momentum is computed as the difference between the current spread and its moving
Bollinger Bands are applied to identify extreme deviations:
• Long Entry: When momentum crosses below the lower band.
• Short Entry: When momentum crosses above the upper band.
3. Reversal Logic:
• An optional checkbox reverses the trading logic, allowing long trades at the upper band and short trades at the lower band, accommodating different market conditions.
4. Trade Management:
• Positions are held for a predefined number of bars (hold_periods), and each trade uses a fixed contract size of 100 with a starting capital of $20,000.
Theoretical Basis:
1. Yield Differentials and Currency Movements:
• Empirical studies, such as Clarida et al. (2009), confirm that interest rate differentials significantly impact exchange rate dynamics, especially in carry trade strategies .
• Higher-yields tend to appreciate against lower-yielding currencies due to speculative flows and demand for higher returns.
2. Bollinger Bands for Momentum:
• Bollinger Bands effectively capture deviations in yield momentum, identifying opportunities where price returns to equilibrium (mean reversion) or extends in trend-following scenarios (momentum breakout).
• As Bollinger (2001) emphasized, this tool adapts to market volatility by dynamically adjusting thresholds .

Forex SessionThis Trading View script highlights the trading sessions for New York, European, and Asian markets on the chart and adds labels at the start of each session. The script uses Pine Script version 5 and converts local session times to UTC to accurately display the session times regardless of your local Time zone.
Features :
Session Times:
New York: 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM (Eastern Time, GMT-4)
European: 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM (London Time, GMT+1)
Asian: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Tokyo Time, GMT+9)
Background Highlighting: The script shades the background for each session.
New York Session: Blue
European Session: Green
Asian Session: Red
Today's sessions are shaded with 90% opacity.
Tomorrow's sessions are shaded with 70% opacity.
How It Works :
Session Times Conversion: The script converts the session times from local timezones to UTC
using the timestamp function.
Background Coloring: The bgcolor function is used to shade the background for each session.
Forex Multi-Factor IndicatorMoving Averages (MA):
Two moving averages are plotted on the chart: a fast MA (blue line) and a slow MA (red line).
The fast MA is calculated using a shorter period (10 periods by default), while the slow MA is calculated using a longer period (30 periods by default).
Moving averages help identify trends by smoothing out price fluctuations. When the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, it suggests a bullish trend, and when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA, it suggests a bearish trend.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
The RSI indicator (orange line) is plotted on a separate axis.
RSI measures the speed and change of price movements and oscillates between 0 and 100.
RSI values above 70 are considered overbought, indicating a potential reversal to the downside, while RSI values below 30 are considered oversold, indicating a potential reversal to the upside.
Volume Moving Average (Volume MA):
The volume moving average (purple line) is plotted on the same axis as the volume.
The volume moving average is calculated over a specified period (20 periods by default).
Volume analysis provides insights into the strength of price movements. When the volume increases along with price movements, it suggests strong conviction from traders.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy signals (green triangle) are generated when all of the following conditions are met:
The fast MA crosses above the slow MA (indicating a bullish trend).
The RSI is below the oversold level (indicating potential upward momentum).
The current price is above the fast MA, and the volume is higher than the volume MA (indicating positive volume trend).
Sell signals (red triangle) are generated when all of the following conditions are met:
The fast MA crosses below the slow MA (indicating a bearish trend).
The RSI is above the overbought level (indicating potential downward momentum).
The current price is below the fast MA, and the volume is lower than the volume MA (indicating negative volume trend).
Overall, this multi-factor indicator combines moving averages, RSI, and volume analysis to identify potential buying and selling opportunities in the Forex market. Traders can use the signals generated by this indicator as part of their trading strategy, but it's important to consider other factors such as risk management and market conditions before making trading decisions
Forex Strength IndicatorThis indicator will display the strength of 8 currencies, EUR, AUD, NZD, JPY, USD, GBP, CHF, and CAD. Each line will represent each currency. Alongside that, Fibonacci levels will be plotted based on a standard deviation from linear regression, with customizable lengths.
For more steady Fibonacci levels, use higher lengths for both Standard Deviations and Linear Regression. All currency lines come from moving averages with options like EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, SWMA, and Linear Regression.
When lines of the active pair are far from each other, it means higher divergence in those currency strengths among the other pairs. The closer the lines are, the lower the divergence.
You can use the Fibonacci levels as points for the reversal or end of the current trend. When the lines cross can be used as a parameter for a more accurate signal of the next movement.
All 28 pairs are loaded from the same time frame and will use the same moving average for all of them
Alerts from the line crossing are available.
FOREX MASTER PATTERN Value Lines by nnamThe Forex Master Pattern is form of technical analysis that provides a framework for spotting hidden price patterns that reveal the true movement of the market. The Forex Master Pattern Value Lines Indicator helps to identify this Phase 1 contraction of the Forex Master Pattern cycle.
HOW THIS INDICATOR WORKS
This indicator looks for a sustained contraction in price initially indicated by TWO contraction bars in a row, thus detecting a contraction point and a potential new master pattern origin point.
Once a contraction point is detected, a blue box will appear on the chart with a thick solid blue line projecting from its center. These are potential "Points of Origin" and "Value Lines" that institutional traders use to balance their books.
As shown above, when price begins to move (detected by engulfing and/or expansion candles), an Arrow is plotted to the chart identifying a possible expansion.
As shown above, previous Value Lines typically serve as future support / resistance points, however, due to the unique location of these lines, they are not typically identified as support or resistance levels on standard S/R indicators.
Color Coded Candles assist the user in quickly identifying contraction and expansion areas as well as trends away from the value-line. The expansion candles, Up/Down candles, and contraction BARS are all inspired by the STRAT (Rob Smith) and are specifically incorporated into this indicator to assist the user in finding potential reversals during the expansion phase. This helps to avoid the whiplash typically associated with the first phase of Forex Master Pattern.
