Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.

Predictive Channels [LuxAlgo]The Predictive Channels indicator is a real-time estimate of a trend channel. The indicator returns 2 resistances, 2 supports, and an average line.
🔶 USAGE
The Predictive Channels attempt to find a real-time estimate of an underlying linear trend in the price, the returned supports/resistances are constructed from this estimate.
The area between the price and the estimated trend is also highlighted, with a green color when the price is above the estimated trend, indicating a bullish variation relative to the trend, and a red color indicating a bearish variation.
Price deviating significantly from an estimated trend will return new channels. The Factor setting controls the allowed distance between the price and the trend estimate, with higher values allowing for greater distances and less frequent channels.
The Slope setting will affect the steepness of the channels, with lower values returning steeper channels, this can cause the price to more quickly deviate from the estimated trend, increasing the frequency at which new channels are created.
🔶 SETTINGS
Factor: Multiplicative factor, determines the allowed distance between the price and an estimated trend before a new channel is constructed.
Slope: Controls the line steepness of the channels, with lower values returning steeper lines.
Volume peak based zonesThis is a simple but effective indicator based on simple volume.
What does this indicator for you:
Zones are drawn on the basis of volume peaks. It is used for this purpose the closing price to the high or to the low depending on the direction of the candle.
How can this be used:
With volume peaks one assumes that a movement has reached your end for the time being or a new movement is initiated.
This cannot be verified by simple volume alone.
If a zone is displayed is now to pay attention to the following:
Narrow zone: indicate when creating mostly a continuation of the trend. Can later, however, be used as support or resistance.
Medium zones: The price is in an accumulation phase. Here is crucial, whether a candle with increased volume (preferably above the volume SMA) arises and the high or the low of the zone by closing price leaves. Accordingly, a short or long position can be taken. As SL, the high or low of the zone or the candle itself can be used.
Large zones: The high and low of the zone indicate a range in which the price will stay in the near future. The low or the high can be used as a once if the price does not leave the zone despite high volume at the close.
Otherwise, this can be interpreted as a breakout.
Principles of Volume:
Rising Volume at Rising Price = Intact Trend
Rising Volume at Falling Price = Intact Trend
Falling volume at rising price = correction movement
Falling volume at falling price = correction movement

ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.
🔶 SETTINGS
(Check CONCEPTS for deeper insights and explanation)
🔹 Swing settings (left): Sets the length, which will set the lookback period/sensitivity of the Zigzag patterns (which directs the trend)

Days Higher Than Current PriceThe "Days Higher Than Current Price" indicator is a color-coded tool that provides insights into the historical price performance of an underlying asset. By analyzing the number of bars prior to the selected day that had higher closing prices, this indicator visually represents the comparative strength or weakness of the current price level.
The "Days Higher" indicator utilizes a color-coded scheme to indicate the number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The color spectrum ranges from red to blue, representing varying levels of historical price strength.
Color Coding:
The color coding scheme of the indicator offers a quick and intuitive understanding of the price performance:
Red: Represents a higher number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This suggests a weaker price trend or a potential reversal and indicates relative price weakness.
Blue: Represents a lower number of days in the asset's price history where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. This indicates a strong trend of higher prices and suggests relative price strength.
Orange & Green: Correspond to different numbers of days where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price. The specific color gradations between red and blue reflect increasing or decreasing historical price strength.
Methodology:
The "Days Higher" indicator examines each bar in the asset's price history leading up to the selected day. It counts the number of bars where the closing prices were higher than the current day's price.
The indicator then assigns a specific color to the price chart based on the count of such days, providing a visual representation of historical price strength relative to the current price level.
Utility:
The "Days Higher" indicator offers traders and investors a unique perspective on the historical price performance of an asset. By assessing the color-coded chart, market participants can quickly gauge the presence of strong or weak historical price trends.
This information can be used to identify potential support or resistance levels, assess the overall strength of a trend, or evaluate the likelihood of a price reversal. Traders may incorporate this indicator into their analysis to make more informed trading decisions based on the historical price strength indicated by the color-coded chart.
It is important to note that this tool should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to validate signals and make well-rounded trading decisions.

VWAP Reset Zones
With this indicator, the VWAP is displayed based on two adjustable sources. Close and Open are recommended by default.
The zone between the Open and Close VWAP is carried over to the next day as the zone at the end of the period.
The zones can be considered as support and resistance zones.
The chart illustrates the idea behind it.
In addition, the anchor function has been added so that anchor points can be set for session, week and month.
Depending on the set anchor and the selected time unit of the chart, an adjustment of the indicator to the time unit can be made.
Recommended time unit of the indicator: Session = 15 min / Weekly = 1H / Month = 4H
In addition, the zones between VWAP close and vwap open have been colored.
Bullish when the close is above the open price and bearish when the close is below the open price.
The principle is simple. If the average closing price is below the average opening price, a downtrend is to be assumed and vice versa an uptrend.
Traffic Lights [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws higher timeframe support and resistance levels using current peak and trough prices. These prices are also displayed in a table which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close 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.
Peak and Trough Prices (Advanced)
• The advanced 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 highest preceding green candle high price, depending on which is higher.
• The advanced 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 lowest preceding red candle low price, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Major Traffic Lights
Major traffic light levels are determined using monthly (red solid lines), weekly (orange solid lines) and daily (green solid lines) peak and trough prices.
Minor Traffic Lights
Minor traffic light levels are determined using 4H (red dashed lines), 1H (orange dashed lines) and 15-minute (green dashed lines) peak and trough prices.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Advanced Peak and Trough Price Logic
• Show Minor
• Show Major
• Extend Line Type
• Show Table
• Position
• Text Size
If the current timeframe is higher than any of the traffic light timeframes the relevant lines and table cells will automatically be hidden. As can be seen in Figure 1. below, the intraday lines and table cells will only appear if the user scales down to a low enough timeframe.
Figure 1.
█ LIMITATIONS
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 mentioning that the minor levels will not be displayed if the user selects a custom timeframe between 31 and 44 minutes, and between 46 and 59. All other timeframes should work as intended.
Parallel Projections [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically projects parallel trendlines or channels, from a single point of origin. In the example above I have applied the indicator twice to the 1D SPXUSD. The five upper lines (green) are projected at an angle of -5 from the 1-month swing high anchor point with a projection ratio of -72. And the seven lower lines (blue) are projected at an angle of 10 with a projection ratio of 36 from the 1-week swing low anchor point.
█ 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.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Anchor Point Type
• Swing High/Low Occurrence
• HTF Resolution
• Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
• Angle Degree
• Projection Ratio
• Number Lines
• Line Color
Anchor Point Types
• Swing High
• Swing Low
• Swing High (HTF)
• Swing Low (HTF)
• Highest High
• Lowest Low
• Intraday Highest High (intraday charts only)
• Intraday Lowest Low (intraday charts only)
Swing High/Swing Low Occurrence
This input is used to determine which historic peak or trough to reference for swing high or swing low anchor point types.
HTF Resolution
This input is used to determine which higher timeframe to reference for swing high (HTF) or swing low (HTF) anchor point types.
Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
This input is used to determine the lookback length for highest high or lowest low anchor point types.
Intraday Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
When using intraday highest high or lowest low anchor point types, the lookback length is calculated automatically based on number of bars since the daily candle opened.
Angle Degree
This input is used to determine the angle of the trendlines. The output is expressed in terms of point or pips, depending on the symbol type, which is then passed through the built in math.todegrees() function. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
It is also worth mentioning that as more lines are added the gaps between the lines, that are closest to the anchor point, will get tighter as they make their way up the y-axis. Although the gaps between the lines will stay constant at the x2 plot, i.e. a distance of 10 points between them, they will gradually get tighter and tighter at the point of origin as the slope of the lines get steeper.
Projection Ratio
This input is used to determine the distance between the parallels, expressed in terms of point or pips. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
Number Lines
This input is used to determine the number of lines to be drawn on the chart, maximum is 500.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based 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. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. 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.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan.

█ RAMBLINGS
It is my current thesis that the indicator will work best when used in conjunction with my Wavemeter indicator, which can be used to set the angle and projection ratio. For example, the average wave height or amplitude could be used as the value for the angle and projection ratio inputs. Or some factor or multiple of such an average. I think this makes sense as it allows for objectivity when applying the indicator across different markets and timeframes with different energies and vibrations.

Fan Projections [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically projects trendlines in the shape of a fan, from a single point of origin. In the example above I have applied the indicator twice to the 1D SPXUSD. The seven upper lines (green) are projected at an angle of -5 from the 1-month swing high anchor point. And the five lower lines (blue) are projected at an angle of 10 from the 1-week swing low anchor point.
█ 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.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.

Swing High/Swing Low Occurrence
This input is used to determine which historic peak or trough to reference for swing high or swing low anchor point types.
HTF Resolution
This input is used to determine which higher timeframe to reference for swing high (HTF) or swing low (HTF) anchor point types.
Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
This input is used to determine the lookback length for highest high or lowest low anchor point types.
Intraday Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
When using intraday highest high or lowest low anchor point types, the lookback length is calculated automatically based on number of bars since the daily candle opened.
Angle Degree
This input is used to determine the angle of the trendlines. The output is expressed in terms of point or pips, depending on the symbol type, which is then passed through the built in math.todegrees() function. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
It is also worth mentioning that as more lines are added the gaps between the lines, that are closest to the anchor point, will get tighter as they make their way up the y-axis. Although the gaps between the lines will stay constant at the x2 plot, i.e. a distance of 10 points between them, they will gradually get tighter and tighter at the point of origin as the slope of the lines get steeper.
Number Lines
This input is used to determine the number of lines to be drawn on the chart, maximum is 500.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based 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. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. 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.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan.

Fibonacci Ratios HTF [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws higher timeframe Fibonacci levels from current peak to current trough or current trough to current peak, depending on where the current wave cycle ends. In the example above I have set the higher timeframe resolution to 1-month and applied it to a daily chart.

Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.

Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Although there is some contention over which popular levels are and are not actually Fibonacci ratios, such as 50% and 100%, in this script I have based my retracement level calculations on the ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6% and 100%. And my extension level calculations on the ratios of 161.8%, 261.8%, 361.8%, 423.6% and 461.8%.

Similarly, if the current timeframe is not a factor of the higher timeframe there will be occasions when the left hand offset is out by a couple of bars. This is because the calculations are ultimately based on how many lower timeframe bars there are inside a sequence of higher timeframe bars. The indicator will also behave unexpectedly if the higher timeframe resolution is lower than the current timeframe, but that should be expected.

VWAP Supply and Demand ZonesThis is my 1st indicator enjoy.
Description of the VWAP Supply and Demand Zones indicator:
This indicator uses the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to identify potential supply and demand zones in the market. The VWAP is a popular indicator that shows the average price of a security weighted by volume over a specified period of time. It can be used as a benchmark to measure the efficiency of trading and to identify trends and price levels.
The indicator plots the VWAP as a blue line on the chart, and also plots two other lines above and below it, which represent the upper and lower bounds of the supply and demand zones. The width of these zones can be adjusted by changing the “Zone Width” input parameter.
The indicator also plots shapes on the chart to mark when a supply or demand zone is formed. A supply zone is formed when the price crosses above the VWAP and then falls back below it, indicating that there is more selling pressure than buying pressure at that level. A red triangle is plotted above the bar where this happens, and a red zone is drawn between the previous close and previous VWAP values.
A demand zone is formed when the price crosses below the VWAP and then rises back above it, indicating that there is more buying pressure than selling pressure at that level. A green triangle is plotted below the bar where this happens, and a green zone is drawn between the previous close and previous VWAP values.
The supply and demand zones can be used as potential areas of support and resistance, where traders can look for reversal or continuation signals. For example, if the price enters a supply zone from below, it may indicate that sellers are willing to sell at higher prices, which could lead to a bearish reversal. Conversely, if the price enters a demand zone from above, it may indicate that buyers are willing to buy at lower prices, which could lead to a bullish reversal.
The indicator can be applied to any timeframe or market, but it may work better on higher timeframes where volume data is more reliable. It can also be combined with other indicators or tools to confirm or filter signals.
ATR PivotsThe "ATR Pivots" script is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance on a chart. The indicator uses various metrics such as the Average True Range (ATR), Daily True Range ( DTR ), Daily True Range Percentage (DTR%), Average Daily Range (ADR), Previous Day High ( PDH ), and Previous Day Low ( PDL ) to provide a comprehensive picture of the volatility and movement of a security. The script also includes an EMA cloud and 200 EMA for trend identification and a 1-minute ATR scalping strategy for traders to make informed trading decisions.
ATR Detail:-
The ATR is a measure of the volatility of a security over a given period of time. It is calculated by taking the average of the true range (the difference between the high and low of a security) over a set number of periods. The user can input the number of periods (ATR length) to be used for the ATR calculation. The script also allows the user to choose whether to use the current close or not for the calculation. The script calculates various levels of support and resistance based on the relationship between the security's range ( high-low ) and the ATR. The levels are calculated by multiplying the ATR by different Fibonacci ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.000) and then adding or subtracting the result from the previous close. The script plots these levels on the chart, with the -100 level being the most significant level. The user also has an option to choose whether to plot all Fibonacci levels or not.
DTR and DTR% Detail:-
The Daily True Range Percentage (DTR%) is a metric that measures the daily volatility of a security as a percentage of its previous close. It is calculated by dividing the Daily True Range ( DTR ) by the previous close. DTR is the range between the current period's high and low and gives a measure of the volatility of the security on a daily basis. DTR% can be used as an indicator of the percentage of movement of the security on a daily basis. In this script, DTR% is used in combination with other metrics such as the Average True Range (ATR) and Fibonacci ratios to calculate key levels of support and resistance for the security. The idea behind using DTR% is that it can help traders to better understand the daily volatility of the security and make more informed trading decisions.
For example, if a security has a DTR% of 2%, it suggests that the security has a relatively low level of volatility and is less likely to experience significant price movements on a daily basis. On the other hand, if a security has a DTR% of 10%, it suggests that the security has a relatively high level of volatility and is more likely to experience significant price movements on a daily basis.
ADR:-
The script then calculates the ADR (Average Daily Range) which is the average of the daily range of the security, using the formula (Period High - Period Low) / ATR Length. This gives a measure of the average volatility of the security on a daily basis, which can be useful for determining potential levels of support and resistance .
PDH /PDL:-
The script also calculates PDH (Previous Day High) and PDL (Previous Day Low) which are the High and low of the previous day of the security. This gives a measure of the previous day's volatility and movement, which can be useful for determining potential levels of support and resistance .
EMA Cloud and 200 EMA Detail:-
The EMA cloud is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify the trend of the market by comparing two different exponential moving averages (EMAs) of different lengths. The cloud is created by plotting the fast EMA and the slow EMA on the chart and filling the space between them. The user can input the length of the fast and slow EMA , and the script will calculate and plot these EMAs on the chart. The space between the two EMAs is then filled with a color that represents the trend, with green indicating a bullish trend and red indicating a bearish trend . Additionally, the script also plots a 200 EMA , which is a commonly used long-term trend indicator. When the fast EMA is above the slow EMA and the 200 EMA , it is considered a bullish signal, indicating an uptrend. When the fast EMA is below the slow EMA and the 200 EMA , it is considered a bearish signal, indicating a downtrend. The EMA cloud and 200 EMA can be used together to help traders identify the overall trend of the market and make more informed trading decisions.
1 Minute ATR Scalping Strategy:-
The script also includes a 1-minute ATR scalping strategy that can be used by traders looking for quick profits in the market. The strategy involves using the ATR levels calculated by the script as well as the EMA cloud and 200 EMA to identify potential buy and sell opportunities. For example, if the 1-minute ATR is above 11 in NIFTY and the EMA cloud is bullish , the strategy suggests buying the security. Similarly, if the 1-minute ATR is above 30 in BANKNIFTY and the EMA cloud is bullish , the strategy suggests buying the security.
Inside Candle:-
The Inside Candle is a price action pattern that occurs when the current candle's high and low are entirely within the range of the previous candle's high and low. This pattern indicates indecision or consolidation in the market and can be a potential sign of a trend reversal. When used in the 15-minute chart, traders can look for Inside Candle patterns that occur at key levels of support or resistance. If the Inside Candle pattern occurs at a key level and the price subsequently breaks out of the range of the Inside Candle, it can be a signal to enter a trade in the direction of the breakout. Traders can also use the Inside Candle pattern to trade in a tight range, or to reduce their exposure to a current trend.
Risk Management:-
As with any trading strategy, it is important to practice proper risk management when using the ATR Pivots script and the 1-minute ATR scalping strategy. This may include setting stop-loss orders, using appropriate position sizing, and diversifying your portfolio. It is also important to note that past performance is not indicative of future results and that the script and strategy provided are for educational purposes only.
In conclusion, the "ATR Pivots" script is a powerful tool that can help traders identify key levels of support and resistance , as well as trend direction. The additional metrics such as DTR , DTR%, ADR, PDH , and PDL provide a more comprehensive picture of the volatility and movement of the security, making it easier for traders to make better trading decisions. The inclusion of the EMA cloud and 200 EMA for trend identification, and the 1-minute ATR scalping strategy for quick profits can further enhance a trader's decision-making process. However, it is important to practice proper risk management and understand that past performance is not indicative of future results.
Special thanks to satymahajan for the idea of clubbing Average True Range with Fibonacci levels.
CryptoverseThis Indicator dynamically generates and charts Pivot Points, Support and Resistance Lines, Trend Channels and even Rsi Divergences in every market and every time period.
While it helps you identify your entry points, stop loss and take positions, it certainly does not include trading signals and trading strategy.
Bonus: the indicator contains ema21, ema50, ema100 and ema200 to support the lines created. If you wish, you can change the EMA values in the settings.
Recommendation: RSI is included in the indicator codes in order to detect divergences dataally, but it is not displayed on the chart. I recommend adding an additional RSI indicator to keep track of past and current potential divergences.

General Settings:
Pivot Period: This field determines how many candles before and after a candle should be controlled in order to be able to determine the top and bottom points on the chart.
Support and Resistance Lines and Trend Channels formed on the chart are created by calculating the Pivot points formed according to the period determined here. (Default value: 6)
Pivot Source: Determines the pivot points to be created according to the value of the relevant candle.
(Default and Recommended: closing)
----------------------------------------------
Support And Resistance Settings:
Custom Bars Back: This area allows you to specify how many pivot points from the current candle to the previous candle to create support resistance lines on the Chart. The default value is the last 500 candles.
*Note: The more old candles are checked, the more support and resistance lines will appear. This may prevent you from making sound determinations on the chart.*
Current Bar Decrease: This field works integrated with Custom Bars Back. By subtracting the current candle by the specified number, it provides the formation of lines without including those candles.
Default value: It is set to 0 to include current data.
Example: If Custom Bars Back: 500 and Current Bar Decrease: 10, Support and Resistance lines are created by considering 500 candles before the last 10 candles without including the last 10 candles on the chart.
Show S/R Lines: This field allows you to show or hide the Support and Resistance lines at any time.
Auto Simplification: This field is marked by default. It allows the Simplification Steps value to be determined automatically within the code according to the time period and current volatility of the relevant parity. (It is recommended to use the default version.)
Simplification Steps: This field allows you to get more understandable lines by simplifying the Support and Resistance lines based on Pivot points. If a simplification is not done, the lines to be formed with only the pivot points will be too many and this creates a dirty and useless appearance on the chart.
Each 1 digit you enter as a step combines the lines that are close to each other at a value of 0.01% and creates a common line.
Example: If you enter the number 10 as Steps, it will form a single common line from lines close together, starting at 0.01% respectively. It will continue to increase by 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04% in its next steps. For the number 10, it will complete its loop by combining lines within the last remaining lines that are as close as 0.1% to each other and creating new lines from their midpoints.
The deafult value is 14. (Max. simplifies lines with closeness up to 1.4%.)
Important Note: If Auto Simplification is on, the entered value has no meaning. The Indicator performs simplification operations automatically. If you want to manage these steps manually, you can turn off Auto Simplification and enter your own value.
S/R Lines Color: Allows you to specify the color of the lines.
Label Location: Allows you to determine how many candles ahead the information label formed for each line will be positioned.
Line Label Descriptions:
Line: It is the price value that the line coincides with.*
Distance: Shows the percentage distance of the line from the current price.
▲ : Shows the percentage distance from the line above it.
▼ : Shows the percentage distance from the line below it.
Strength: Indicates the total number of steps the process has taken during the simplification process. The height of the number indicates the strength of resistance and support in the close price range.
C. Width: stands for Channel Width. It shows the percentage value between the highest price and the lowest price on the past candle as many candles specified by Custom Bars Back.
S. Steps: stands for Simplification Steps. Indicates the number of simplification steps applied. A value of 150 in the image indicates that a 1.5% simplification range has been applied.
----------------------------------------------
Trend Channels Settings:
Show All Trend Lines: Allows you to show and hide trend channels.
Hide Old Trend Lines: If you enable it, it will hide channels created in the past except for Current Trend channels.
Helper Line Format: Allows the auxiliary line that converts a trendline to a channel to be drawn based on percentage or price.
Note: There may be cases where the auxiliary lines do not provide full parallelism when using large time intervals by preferring a percentage.
Up Trend Color: Indicates the color of the Up Trend channel.
Down Trend Color: Specifies the color of the Downtrend channel.
Show Up Trend Overflow, Show Down Trend Overflow:
When the price closes above or below the trend channels, it provides awareness with the help of a text on the chart. Colors can be adjusted according to preference.
----------------------------------------------
RSI Divergences Settings:
This indicator gives you information about 4 different divergences. You can customize the divergence views with the show and hide options.
Bullish Regular, Bullish Hidden, Bearish Regular and Bearish Hidden.
Green divergences from the bottom of the graph represent bullish, and red divergences above the graph represent bearish.
Important note: Seeing a mismatch label definitely indicates that there is a mismatch between prices and rsi, but a mismatch does not always indicate a change in price.
Potential Divergence:
The indicator not only shows you past divergences, but also informs you of potential divergences based on the current status of the chart.
A potential divergence may not turn into a true one if the price flow continues to increase or decrease in the same direction. But all divergences seen in the past must have been shown as potential divergences beforehand.
Rsi Length, Rsi Source: Allows you to change settings for RSI values typically embedded within the indicator.
Note: Pivot Source and RSI Source using the same type of candle data ensures that divergences are displayed correctly.
----------------------------------------------
EMA Settings:
The indicator allows you to use 4 different EMA data in addition to Support and Resistance lines, Trend Channels and RSI divergences. By default, 21, 50, 100 and 200 are used. You can change the EMA values and colors in the Settings section, or you can use the show hide options in the Style section.
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.
Margin Pressure ThresholdsIf you thought margin trading liquidation levels only mattered to those trading with leverage, think again. Margin traders wield significantly more capital than your average retail investor, and their collective behavior can move markets quite predictably. The basic premise (theory popularized by Forrest @Cryptostackers YouTube) is that margin traders will have their liquidation points protected by strong support (for longs) or resistance (for shorts). Therefore, by simply identifying strong support/resistance levels, we can predict the thresholds at which margin buying and selling pressure will subside.
This indicator is interactive, so it just takes a click. Select a strong support level to see where margin buying pressure is likely to drop off, i.e. where to expect resistance and a potential local top. Or, select a strong resistance level to see expected support and anticipate the local bottom. Even better, look at long and short levels together to identify high probability support/resistance zones where levels align.
And for margin traders, this indicator makes life easy. Just click to select the support/resistance you want protecting your liquidation level, and quickly see the amount of leverage is safe to trade with.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) [LuxAlgo]This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.
Features
This indicator includes many features relevant to SMC, these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Break of Structure (BOS)
Change of Character (CHoCH)
Order Blocks (bullish & bearish)
Equal Highs & Lows
Fair Value Gap Detection
Previous Highs & Lows
Premium & Discount Zones as a range
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
Settings
Mode: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Style: Allows the user to select different styling for the entire indicator between Colored (default) and Monochrome.
Color Candles: Plots candles based on the internal & swing structures from within the indicator on the chart.
Internal Structure: Displays the internal structure labels & dashed lines to represent them. (BOS & CHoCH).
Confluence Filter: Filter non-significant internal structure breakouts.
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (larger BOS & CHoCH labels).
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Internal Order Blocks: Enables Internal Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Internal Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Swing Order Blocks: Enables Swing Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Swing Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Equal Highs & Lows: Displays EQH/EQL labels on chart for detecting equal highs & lows.
Bars Confirmation: Allows the user to select how many bars are needed to confirm an EQH/EQL symbol on chart.
Fair Value Gaps: Displays boxes to highlight imbalance areas on the chart.
Auto Threshold: Filter out non-significant fair value gaps.
Timeframe: Allows the user to select the timeframe for the Fair Value Gap detection.
Extend FVG: Allows the user to choose how many bars to extend the Fair Value Gap boxes on the chart.
Highs & Lows MTF: Allows the user to display previous highs & lows from daily, weekly, & monthly timeframes as significant levels.
Premium/Discount Zones: Allows the user to display Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones on the chart
Usage
Users can see automatic CHoCH and BOS labels to highlight breakouts of market structure, which allows to determine the market trend. In the chart below we can see the internal structure which displays more frequent labels within larger structures. We can also see equal highs & lows (EQH/EQL) labels plotted alongside the internal structure to frequently give indications of potential reversals.
In the chart below we can see the swing market structure labels. These are also labeled as BOS and CHoCH but with a solid line & larger text to show larger market structure breakouts & trend reversals. Users can be mindful of these larger structure labels while trading internal structures as displayed in the previous chart.
Order blocks highlight areas where institutional market participants open positions, one can use order blocks to determine confirmation entries or potential targets as we can expect there is a large amount of liquidity at these order blocks. In the chart below we can see 2 potential trade setups with confirmation entries. The path outlined in red would be a potential short entry targeting the blue order block below, and the path outlined in green would be a potential long entry, targeting the red order blocks above.
As we can see in the chart below, the bullish confirmation entry played out in this scenario with the green path outlined in hindsight. As price breaks though the order blocks above, the indicator will consider them mitigated causing them to disappear, and as per the logic of these order blocks they will always display 5 (by default) on the chart so we can now see more actionable levels.
The Smart Money Concepts indicator has many other features and here we can see how they can also help a user find potential levels for price action trading. In the screenshot below we can see a trade setup using the Previous Monthly High, Strong High, and a Swing Order Block as a stop loss. Accompanied by the Premium from the Discount/Premium zones feature being used as a potential entry. A potential take profit level for this trade setup that a user could easily identify would be the 50% mark labeled with the Fair Value Gap & the Equilibrium all displayed automatically by the indicator.
Conclusion
This indicator highlights all relevant components of Smart Money Concepts which can be a very useful interpretation of market structure, liquidity, & more simply put, price action. The term was coined & popularized primarily within the forex community & by ICT while making its way to become a part of many traders' analysis. These concepts, with or without this indicator do not guarantee a trader to be trading within the presence of institutional or "bank-level" liquidity, there is no supporting data regarding the validity of these teachings.
Trend/Retracement - ZigZag - New wayZigZag for Trend and Retracements - New way
It's another way to plot ZigZag based on lookback period for trend and % of trend lookback period to plot retracements.
█ OVERVIEW
Plot ZigZag, Trend lines, Retracements, Support levels, Resistance levels
█ Objective:
Draw ZigZag lines along with unbroken support and resistance levels. ZigZag lines are drawn for main trend and the retracements.
Main Trend – This is calculated based on lookback period.
Retracements – Retracements are calculated as 25% of main trend.
Support and Resistance line: The indicator draws 2 types of support and resistance lines
1. Un-broken – Once formed (plotted), these are the support and resistance which are not yet broken
2. Tested – One can also choose to see support and resistance lines which are tested but not broken. Tested support/resistance are those levels which are touched by high/low price but close price has not crossed the level.
█ How main trend point is calculated:
E.g.
Chart timeframe = 15m
Lookback period = 250
Retracement = 25% of main trend ( 25% of 250 = 62 )
A price point on a chart is considered as trend point if distance between current price and previous highest price is 250 candles
A price point is considered as a retracement if distance between current price and previous highest price is 62 candles. Please note retracements are calculated only after finding a main trend point.
█ Input parameters:
Zigzag Parameters
Use predefined Lookback – If checked pre-defined timeframe-based lookback parameters are used.
Trend lookback candles – If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used as lookback period.
Retracement % of look back candles– If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used for calculating retracement lookback period
Mark retracements – If unchecked only main trend lines are plotted
Plot support/resistance – To plot support/resistance levels
Show support/resistance tested lines – If checked tested support/resistance liens are shown on the chart
█ TF based Lookback period config (Defaults are set as specified below, One can change these defaults to use different lookback periods)
The defaults set here are used based on the chart timeframe. e.g. if chart timeframe is changed from say 15m to 60m then 60m chart defaults (i.e. trend lookback = 90) are used to plot the trend and the retracements. At the bottom-right of the chart, parameters used for plotting are displayed all the time.
Timeframe in minute – Default = 5m
Trend lookback candles – Default = 375 (~ 5 days of data)
Timeframe in minute – Default = 15m
Trend lookback candles – Default = 250 (~10 days of data)
Timeframe in minute – Default = 60m
Trend lookback candles = Default = 90 (~ 15 days of data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'D' – Default = 30 (~1 month data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'W' – Default = 21 (~6 months data)
Trend lookback candles for timeframe 'M' – Default = 12 (~1year data)
Retracement % of look back candles – Default = 25%
█ When and where one can use this indicator (Refer to chart examples)
To view support and resistance based on lookback period
To view ZigZag lines
One can use it to find chart patterns easily
Trend and retracement lines can help in drawing Elliott waves.
█ Chart examples:
1. Chart patterns can be easily identified - One can disable the candle charts which will help to identify and draw chart patterns easily
2. Trend and retracement lines can also help is analyzing charts (e.g. Elliott Waves can be marked based on trend lines)
3. Tested but not broken support and resistance lines can be viewed
4. You can select 'NOT' to plot tested support and resistance lines
5. Uncheck the Mark retracements to plot main trend lines (Retracements are not marked)
