CoRA Ribbon - Multiple Compound Ratio Weighted Moving AveragesWhat distinguishes this indicator?
A Compound Ratio Weighted Moving Average ("CoRA") is a Moving Average that, regardless of its length, has very little lag and that can be relied on to accurately track price movements and fluctuations - compared to other types of Moving Averages.
By combining multiple Compound Ratio Weighted Moving Averages you can identify the trend better and more reliably . This is where "CoRA Ribbon" comes in.
The original study, which supported one CoRA Wave, comes from RedKTrader and was introduced as "RedK Compound Ratio Moving Average (CoRa_Wave)” . Thanks to him for the great work!
What was improved or added to this version of the indicator?
With this version of the indicator, up to 5 waves of Compound Ratio Moving Averages with different lengths can be combined and output to one "CoRA Ribbon".
Alerts were implemented. You can be notified e.g. in the event of
changes in direction of each single CoRA Wave
a trend change, which is determined on the basis of all 5 CoRA Waves
A CoRA Wave compared to other Moving Averages - CoRa Waves are less lagging behind
A suggestion for interpretation of “CoRA Ribbon”:
Since CoRA Ribbon can help you to identify the trend better and more reliably, this indicator provides a good baseline for your strategy, but should always be used in conjunction with other indicators or market analysis.
By adjusting the length of each individual wave, you can adapt "CoRA Ribbon" to your trading style - whether it is more aggressive or more cautious.
The following general rules can be formulated:
If the Ribbon changes its color to green, this can be interpreted as a buy signal.
If the Ribbon changes its color to red, this can be interpreted as a sell signal.
Good to know: The default settings have been selected for timeframe lower than 15 minutes. Adjust them and the indicator will do a great job on higher timeframes too. Please remember to test carefully after every change before the changes are applied to your live trading.
Background “Compound Ratio Weighted Average” - provided by "RedKTrader"
A Compound Ratio Weighted Average is a moving average where the weights increase in a "logarithmically linear" way - from the furthest point in the data to the current point.
The formula to calculate these weights work in a similar way to how "compound ratio" works: you start with an initial amount, then add a consistent "ratio of the cumulative prior sum" each period until you reach the end amount. The result is the "step ratio" between the weights is consistent - This is not the case with linear-weighted “Moving Average Weighted” (WMA) or “Exponential Moving Average” (EMA)
For example, if you consider a Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ) of length 5, the weights will be (from the furthest point towards the most current) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- we can see that the ratio between these weights are inconsistent. in fact, the ratio between the 2 furthest points is 2:1, but the ratio between the most recent points is 5:4. the ratio is inconsistent, and in fact, more recent points are not getting the best weights they should get to counter-act the lag effect. Using the Compound Ratio approach addresses that point.
A key advantage here is that we can significantly reduce the "tail weight" - which is "relatively" large in other Moving Averages.
A Compound Ratio Weighted Moving Average is a moving average that has very little lag and that can be relied on to accurately track price movements and fluctuations.

ATR Trailing Stops S/R [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you ATR Trailing Stops S/R . The idea is to look for important levels that are identified by trailing stop line, where it usualy spents a lot of time without any move usualy turns out to be good level for bounces.
Script for atr trailing line is originaly taken from: script made by @dgmoon
It has various setting
Timeframe and atr settings
Show lines
Extend lines
Line count - how many lines will be rendered
Candle count - how many candles has to trailing line spend at the same level
Colors - controls color of plot and lines
I hope you will enjoy it, as I enjoyed to write it.

+ ATR Support and ResistanceThis, a very different script from most of mine, is my attempt at making a useful, and not messy, support and resistance indicator. If you've never looked into trader xkavalis, and his scripts and discord, I would highly recommend it. He talks about "pay attention candles" a lot. It got me thinking about what those are. Best as I can tell all he means by that phrase is large, impulsive candles. Sometimes these lead to break outs of ranges, or they may signal tops, bottoms, or near-tops and bottoms. The only way I could make sense of this in a mathematical way was by using the average true range. Basically, any candle's true range outside of the ATR is considered a "pay attention candle," by my definition.
This script originally began as just a candle coloring exercise with some optional shapes plotted above/below certain candles, but I quickly realized I wanted to draw lines or zones from these candles, so eventually, after many hours spent figuring out and learning 'line.new' and 'box.new' I got things sorted.
Essentially, my line of thinking is that on impulsive candles down, the origin of the impulse is more important than the close (not always of course, as there are no unbreakable rules in what markets can do), and with impulsive candles up, the same theory applies.
So, for upward impulsive candles I've marked out the zone from the open to the low as a support (until broken, in which case it may become resistance). For downward impulsive candles the zone encompasses the open to the high. I've given the option to plot a line from the close for all of these. It's turned off by default as it's just less stuff on the chart, but you may like it.
The line length is customizable in a menu. It does funny things on low timeframes on forex and stock charts (long lines that result in chart compression), but for some reason very rarely on crypto charts. If someone who is smart (not me) and has much experience with pinescript could perhaps help me out with a fix for this, that would be great. I suspect it has something to do with my "bar_index_duration" that I defined using the time function, but I'm not sure how or why.
Line length on time frames of one hour and up it is typically fine.
Use the ATR multiple to change the sensitivity of the indicator. This is basically the determination of when a candle is beyond the ATR. A multiple of two is two times the ATR. With lower volatile pairs you can maybe make this lower. On lower time frames or with more volatile pairs (illiquid alts in particular) a higher multiple might serve better. I find the default 1.75 is mostly acceptable.
As I started this I also thought adding some sort of volume information to the candles might be useful as well, so I added a simple candle coloring feature referencing the OBV and a 21 period EMA. Candles are colored based on the OBV's relation to its moving average.
I added some plot shapes and candle coloring utilizing the RSI as well. Options to turn on or off shapes plotted for overbought and oversold across the top of the chart. The most interesting feature that I implemented here is a support/resistance zone around the centerline of the RSI. If the RSI is between 49 and 51 then you can have optional candle coloring, shapes plotted above the candles, and s/r zones drawn on the chart. In trending markets the centerline of the RSI will frequetly act as support or resistance, so by being alerted of this condition on the chart you can use that with actual levels marked off in order to help make a judgement on a trade. I think it's a nice addition, and an oft overlooked aspect of the usefulness of the RSI.
I've also included a calculation, with candle coloring and/or plot shapes, for something like a stop run on high volume. The calculation for that is in its section below, and should be pretty self explanatory.
Lastly, typing this as I'm posting it, this indicator could also be useful for helping to find placement for trailing a stop. Just a thought!
Auto Price Action - Volume Price and Spread [Mehrok]Auto Price Action - Volume Price and Spread script generates important support and resistance levels basis activity happening in price, volume and candle spread. The basic idea has been taken from concepts of VSA which underlies that weakness appears in uptrend and strength in downtrend. Script will try to find candles which have volume higher then average and candle spread.
Underlying logic:
Script generates significant high's as resistance and lows as support basis activity happened on volume, price and candle spread. Once criteria set in script is met it would then mark that candle with resistance or support line which would act as important price action level later in time.
Usage:
As it records and maintain important high and lows happening on candles till the time new levels are generated therefore generated price levels act as significant support or resistance. Higher the activity in volume, price and spread stronger that price level would act as support or resistance in future.
Settings:
AvgLen- It would allow you to set the SMA settings for volume bars. By default set at 20 means that SMA of 20D volume would be considered in script.
Volume Start Threshold - Default 1.3 - You can change this setting basis stock volatility. This would set the starting point in script to trigger support or resistance levels if volume is equal or higher then the multiplier you have chosen.
Bearish Volume Mult 1, 2 and 3: Set the the levels which can be adjusted to generate x1, x2 or x3 resistance levels which would appear on top of candles.
Bullish Volume Mult 1, 2 and 3: Set the levels which can be adjusted to generate x1, x2, or x3 support levels which would appear at bottom of candles.
Use of bearish and bullish volume mult is to let user define the multiplier value against which current volume bar would be checked. Higher the value means rare it would be.
x1 - Starting level of resistance/support. It would be considered as level 1 of support or resistance which can be broken easily. Happen too often.
x2 - Medium level of resistance/support. It would be considered as level 2 of support or resistance which can give tough fight as price would reach this level. If set as more then 50% of stock volatility of instrument then price would react for sure.
x3 - Strongest level of resistance/support. If set 3 or higher it would be rare to be generated and price may not visit level too often.
Bullish Candle Matrix %: Keep it above 50 to let script check how strong bullish candle is. Strength of candle increase as value increase from 50 towards 100. Keep it at 52 to track maximum bullish candles.
Bearish Candle Matrix %: Keep it below 50 to let script check how strong bearish candle is. Strength of candle increase as value increase from 50 towards 0. Keep it at 47to track maximum bearish candles.
Optional Lines
Optional lines usage no volume activity therefore can generate important price levels basis volume and price only.
Script work on all time frame where volume information is available. In absence of volume information script would only generate optional levels and that too if activated.
Longest CandleThe script detects and highlights the longest candle (from high to low) in a user specified lookback period.
Description
The longest candle in a specified range will form very strong predefined support and resistance levels. The concept is based on Aurora Candles.
How To Use
Use the indicator to find the longest candle in a specified lookback period. You can then mark the highs and lows for predefined S/R areas. Each trader can adjust the lookback period and colour.

Volume SpikesOVERVIEW
Easily identify volume spikes. This indicator identifies volume spike bars and highlights them to facilitate studying volume spikes alongside price action.
CONCEPTS
Bars with abnormally high volume indicate market interest and are worth a closer look. They could indicate market exhaustion or act as future areas of S/R (as shown by the horizontal rays above).
The question is the level of volume that should prompt our interest.
Here, we use the Upper Band of a long-term Bollinger Bands applied on volume to identify bars with outlier volumes. (The lower panel of the chart shown serves to illustrate this concept, and is not included in this indicator.)
HOW TO USE
Volume spike bars will be highlighted in green by default. You may study how the market price action reacts to these volume spikes without the distraction of a separate plot.
Parameters
Period - Lookback period for the Bollinger Bands applied on volume.
Multiple - Multiple for the same Bollinger Bands.
Feel free to experiment with the parameters, but the default parameters work well for me on daily charts. However, for intraday timeframes, due to the typical skewing of volume to the beginning and end of a session, they do not work as well.
Quickfingers Lucs Base Breaking Indicator v2.5 - 3Commas EditionIntroduction
The indicator attempts to implement a popular price action strategy by Luc Thomas (a.k.a. Quickfingers Luc) typically referred to as a QFL base-breaking strategy specifically for the 3Commas platform. The Input settings have been redesigned to match the same inputs as the 3Commas My Bot Settings page. Only the "Deal Start Condition" section will echo the required QFL-related settings found in the original Quickfingers Luc's Base Breaking Indicator v2.5 to successfully implement the strategy.
The strategy revolves around price action movements that reveal “bases”, which are price levels of support that have a significant, rapid price surges called “bounces”. Once a base is revealed, the base price level is used as reference to implement multiple entries below the base using a layering technique of dollar-cost averaging to place multiple limit orders at various price levels below the base price. As price action breaks below the base price, the limit orders will be filled, and the take profit, breakeven and stop loss prices will be recalculated.
How is it original and useful?
This indicator is unique in that the strategy version fully supports the TradingView backtester, which will enable you to perform experiments with various settings to evaluate performance using the historical chart data. The study version implements the "Start Deal" and "Close Deal" alerts for you to integrate with 3Comma's "Trading View Custom Signal" start condition. Both script versions will provide the same configuration abilities. The following list is a brief description of its usefulness:
The ability to define the QFL base confirmation settings, including volume analysis.
The ability to define your preferred layering strategy of either dollar-cost averaging (DCA) or grid-like layers along with precise layer placement.
The ability to define your trading parameters like take profit and stop loss offsets, exchange commission rates, trading start time, and position size multiplication for each layer.
The ability to define flexible trade eligibility rules that can use other chart indicators, like RSI or EMA, to exclude the selection of base prices for trading.
The ability to set the visibility & color theme of the detailed statistics from the chart history pertaining to trading sessions started and closed, session durations, win rate, price action drops and bounces, as well as layer utilization.
How does it compare to other scripts in the Public Library?
The indicator offers a very detailed, comprehensive settings to implement the QFL base-breaking strategy ion 3Commas. The strategy version leverages the full features of the TradingView backtester to provide informative, detailed performance measurements surrounding this unique trading strategy. The study version will implement the latest alert framework called "Any Alert() Function" where you can create a single alert to handle multiple events, which include:
Deal Start
Deal Close
What does it do and how does it do it?
The strategy can be applied to any chart at any time frame, but the minimum should be no lower than 10 minutes. When applied to the chart for the first time, the default settings will work to render base price levels in orange and 8 DCA layers in thin blue lines. As you scroll through the chart's history you should see price action crossing the DCA layers, denoted with blue triangles, and a green take-profit line will render with green triangle denoting the crossing. Lastly, when a deal session begins upon the crossing of the first layer, the indicator will continue to identify base price levels, but the color of the price lines will be gray. When the trade session concludes upon the crossing of the take profit line, the indicator will switch the most recent base price line from gray to orange to make it active and eligible for trading.
As price action develops, the indicator will use the "Base Confirmation Settings" to look back by counting the number of bars to the left and right of a pivot low point, measure the price drops and bounces, and volume amounts to validate that they are within the specified values. If so, the indicator will draw an orange triangle beneath the candle bar to denote it as the pivot low point and begin rendering the orange line as the base price. The DCA layers will be calculated and offset relative to the base price using thin blue lines.
Optionally, the breakeven price line will be drawn to help visualize the true breakeven price which takes into consideration the exchange fees being applied. Base line, take profit, stop loss and DCA layer crossings will be denoted with colorful shapes to help visually recognize the events on the chart.
The volume is validated only at the pivot low candle. It will measure the volume against the moving average to determine base confirmation. A volume factor of 1 will mean that the volume must be at least the same value as the moving average value. A volume factor of 2 means it must be twice the moving average value.
Lastly, a table of statistics is positioned to the upper-right corner of the chart that summarize all the events that have taken place since the indicator began simulating deal sessions from the chart's history.
Strategy Results
The default settings are designed to define a "weak" QFL base to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The strategy version is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 3.4881% of the equity for the Base Order Size, 4.7097% of equity for the first Safety Order Size. The Maximum Safety Trade Count is 7 with a Safety Order Volume Scale of 1.35, and a take profit of 5% with no stop loss. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the QFL trading strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by using the statistics table and observe the Mean Price Drop and Bounce values to learn what the indicator is detecting when it measures from the pivot low points. Using this information, you can adjust the Base Confirmation Settings accordingly, along with any volume specifications you require, to configure the indicator for the chart.
Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.
Enjoy! 😊👍

What does it do and how does it do it?
It is recommended that you start with a chart that is on an hourly timeframe with the "Scale Price Chart Only" chart setting enabled. When applied to the chart for the first time, the default settings will work to render base price levels in orange and 8 DCA layers in blue using a Fibonacci-like sequence for the deviation offset relative to the base price. As you scroll through the chart's history you should see price action crossing the DCA layers, denoted with blue triangles, and a green take-profit line will render with green triangle denoting the crossing. Lastly, when a trade session begins upon the crossing of the first layer, the indicator will continue to identify base price levels, but the color of the price lines will be gray. When the trade session concludes upon the crossing of the take profit line, the indicator will switch the most recent base price line from gray to orange to make it active and eligible for trading.
As price action develops, the indicator will use the "Base Confirmation Settings" to look back by counting the number of bars to the left and right of a pivot low point, measure the price drops and bounces, and volume amounts to validate that they are within the specified values. If so, the indicator will draw an orange triangle beneath the candle bar to denote it as the pivot low point and begin rendering the orange line as the base price. The DCA layers will be calculated and offset relative to the base price using thin blue lines.
Optionally, the breakeven price line will be drawn to help visualize the true breakeven price which takes into consideration the exchange fees being applied. Base line, take profit, stop loss and DCA layer crossings will be denoted with colorful shapes to help visually recognize the events on the chart.
The volume is validated only at the pivot low candle. It will measure the volume against the moving average to determine base confirmation. A volume factor of 1 will mean that the volume must be at least the same value as the moving average value. A volume factor of 2 means it must be twice the moving average value.
Lastly, the very last bar will render a table of statistics that summarize all the events that have taken place since the indicator began simulating trading sessions from the chart's history.
Strategy Results
The default settings are designed to define a "weak" QFL base to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The strategy version is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 3.4887% of the equity with a Position Size Multiplier of 1.35, using 8 total DCA layers, and a take profit of 5% with no stop loss. All other settings are defaults.
It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the QFL trading strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by using the statistics table and observe the Mean Price Drop and Bounce values to learn what the indicator is detecting when it measures from the pivot low points. Using this information, you can adjust the Base Confirmation Settings accordingly, along with any volume specifications you require, to configure the indicator for the chart.
Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.

Auto Fibonacci and Gann Fan/Retracements ComboIntroduction
This is a combination of Fibonacci and Gann fan/retracements.
The script can automatically draw as many:
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci Fan
Gann Retracements
Gann Fan
as the user requires on the chart. Each level set or fan consists of 7 lines based on the most important ratios of Fibonacci/Gann.
Basics
What are Fibonacci retracements?
Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support and resistance are likely to occur. They stem from Fibonacci’s sequence. Each level is associated with a percentage which is how much of a prior move the price has retraced. The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used. The indicator is useful because it can be drawn between any two significant price points, such as a high and a low. The indicator will then create the levels between those two points.
What are Gann retracements?
A developer of technical analysis and trading was W.D. Gann. Gann theory expects a normal retracement of 50 percent. This means that under normal selling pressure, the stock price will decline half the amount of its most recent rise, and vice versa. It also suggests that retracements occur at the halfway point of a move, such as 25 percent (half of 50 percent), 12.5 percent (half of 25 percent), and so on.
What is Fibonacci fan?
Fibonacci fan is a set of sequential trend lines drawn from a trough or peak through a set of points dictated by Fibonacci retracements. The first step to create it is to draw a trend line covering the local lowest and highest prices of a security. To reach retracement levels, the trader divides the difference in price at the low and high end by ratios determined by the Fibonacci series. The lines formed by connecting the starting point for the base trend line and each retracement level create the Fibonacci fan.
What is Gann fan?
A Gann fan consists of a series of lines called Gann angles. These angles are superimposed over a price chart to show potential support and resistance levels. The resulting image is supposed to help technical analysts predict price changes. Gann believed the 45-degree angle to be most important, but the Gann fan also draws angles at degrees like 75, 63.75, 26.25 and 15. The Gann fan originates at a low or high point. The resulting lines show areas of potential future support and resistance. The 45-degree line is known as the 1:1 line because the price will rise or fall at a 45-degree angle when the price moves up/down one unit for each unit of time. All other lines in the Gann fan are drawn above and below the 1:1 line. The other angles are associated with 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 1:8, 1:4, 1:3, and 1:2 time-to-price moves.
Challenges
The most of the time I dedicated to writing this script has been spent on handling these problems:
1. Finding Local Highest/Lowest Prices
In order to draw Fibonacci and Gann fan/retracements, it's necessary to find local highest and lowest price points (Extrema) on the chart. As this could be so challenging, most traders and coders draw the lines covering the low and high prices over a given period of time or a limited number of bars back instead. I already wrote an indicator using this approach ( Auto Fibonacci Combo ).
In this new script I tried to find the exact highest and lowest prices based on this idea that: if a high point is formed lower than previous high which was after a lowest point, then that previous one was the local highest point, and vice versa if a low point is formed higher than previous low which was after a highest point, then that previous one was the local lowest point. So logically an extremum price on the chart won't be found until the next high/low point is formed.
2. Finding Proper Chart Scale for Gann Fan
Based on the theory, Gann angles are sensitive to the chart price scale and in order to have the right angles, the chart must be made with the proper scale. J.A. Hyerczyk in his book "Pattern, Price & Time - Using Gann Theory in Technical Analysis" suggests that the easiest way to determine the scale of a market is by taking the difference between top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom and dividing it by the time it took the market to move from top to top and bottom to bottom.
Thus on a properly constructed chart, the basic equation for calculating Gann angles is: Price * Time.
3. Drawing Fans and Relocating Fan Labels at Each New Bar in Pine (A Programming-Related Subject)
To do this, I used linear equations and line slopes. Of course it was so complicated and exhausting, but finally I overcame that thanks to my genius cousin.
Settings and Usage
By default, the script shows detected extremum points plus 1 Fibonacci fan, 1 Gann fan, 1 set of Fibonacci retracements and no Gann retracements on the chart. All of these could be changed in the indicator settings beside the color and transparency of each line.
Feel free to use this and send me your thoughts!
zigzag support&resistance multi timeframe levels [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you zigzag support&resistance multi timeframe levels. It is based on the ZigZag semafor script made by DevLucem so shout out to him
The Semafor is used to spot future multi-level Supports and Resistance zones.
It is also useful to spot HL or LL or HH or LH zones at different Depth settings.
I's the same zigzag indicator as my other zigzag indicator with distinction that supports multi timeframe levels as well, with depth setting for every timeframe.
I hope you will enjoy it as I enjoyed to write it.

[FN] Strategy - Store Level on ConditionThis is a function that you can use in strategies. Not a strategy in and of itself.
Example thumbnail is showing the function applied to a strategy.
Oftentimes, I am asked a question regarding how to hold a variable at a specific, constant level over a conditional period of time. This question is always asked in a very long convoluted way like "I want the strategy to know what the high of the last pivot was while I'm in a long." or some other variation of wanting a script to remember something from prior bars.
This function is designed to store a price or some numeric level on the bar that your conditional (bool) statements determine that it should be stored. In this construct, you would set conditional statement(s) to flip the 'hold condition' to be true on the next bar, then hold that value until either the "hold condition" is no longer true or the initial conditions trigger again, causing an update to the level that you want to capture.
You still have to come up with the logic for the start condition and hold condition on your own, but I've provided an example that should give you an idea of how to accomplish this and customize/deploy the function for your purposes.
The function will return 'na' when neither the start condition nor hold condition are true. There's multiple ways to implement this and variations on how the level is chosen. I've written extensive notes in the script to guide you through the logic behind the function. My hope is that it will be useful to those trying to build strategies or anyone attempting to get their script to remember a level under given conditions.
In the thumbnail example, the take profit level is defined at the beginning of the trade and held until the take profit order executes. The order execution is a separate matter. However, storing the take-profit level at a static value is key to telling the strategy.exit() function what price to execute a limit exit order at.
Example: strategy.exit("Exit Long", from_entry = "long", qty_percent = 100, limit = stored_value)
Let me know how it works out for you and if I can be of any assistance.
Note: Strategy results are mainly derived from the fact that the strategy is long-only, the NQ only goes up, and there is no stop loss in place. So don't ask for the specific strategy, because unless you're trading a single contract with a $500,000 account, you'll probably get liquidated using this strategy as it is presented.
Gann Square of 9Gann's Square's are some of the best known tools created by Gann. His most well known square was his Square of 9.
The reason for this was because of the symmetry 9 had with itself. Gann was able to balance both price and time with this symmetry.
- 9 is the last single-digit and largest number
- You can add anything to 9 and it will give you a natural number
- (9 + 3 = 12); 1 + 2 = 3... (9 + 9 = 18); 1 + 8 = 9... etc.
- Multiplying any number by 9 will have the natural number be 9
- (9 * 6 = 54); 5 + 4 = 9... (9 * 3 = 27); 2 + 7 = 9... etc.
For these reason, Gann claimed that 9 has everything within itself.
Here I have created an on-chart square of 9 including the cardinal and ordinal cross points colored. In the settings you are able to customize the starting value of the table as well as the period movement. In most cases, 81 is not high enough to be useful in charting cases, so I'd recommend printing out your own Gann Square of 9 that goes as high as you need it to go.
THIS IS NOT TRADING ADVICE ; please use your own technical analysis before making any decisions based off of public indicators. Learn more about Gann's Squares before attempting to use them as this script was not meant to give you answers, only the table.

How to use ?
Yellow line - This is the main level
The red and green lines are the boundaries of the main level.
You can enter a deal both from the main level and from its border, which is a safer deal.
In the settings, you can select the mode of operation of the levels you need, the timeframe for the calculation and configure it as you need.
It is important to understand that this must be used by everyone in a company with an overall trading strategy.
Settings:
There are three types of quality levels
Weak - displays weaker levels suitable for shorter-term trades.
Medium - displays average quality levels, suitable for more average deals.
Strong - displays strong quality levels, suitable for longer trades (recommended).
Timeframe
In the Timeframe settings you can select the desired timeframe for the calculation.
Traps
Short squeeze from below (long ones not in traps)
Sellers ran into the boundaries of the red line. A balance to lower prices began to form. This is the end of the trend continuation. If we decode the data correctly, it will indicate to us that the market agrees to a decline.
The fact that a strong main (yellow) level is formed below and the price is below it indicates that the market is not interested in taking profit. Therefore, any potential rebound is likely to cause sellers to rapidly increase their short positions. This is a pattern that can lead to a slight pullback before the trend continues.
Short top pull (long into traps)
All of the buyers at the top who contributed to the increase in value are now trapped, which means that any bounce to the major (yellow) level is an interesting proposition to add short positions, especially if it is orphaned by the main trend.
Unlike a downtrend structure, this short tends to bounce more as market participants cannot find a good spot. This ultimately leads to exhaustion before a potential price recovery (expected rebound) within the market pricing mechanism. When this pattern occurs, any continuation of the decline without a prior bounce carries the risk of exhaustion and capture of slow and weak sellers, unless there is a significant increase in the value of these newly formed lower prices.
Below I will show one of the possible nuances that you may encounter.
We see that the red line has accumulated many buyers, but they could not make up some value in combination with the closing of the price below the main (yellow) level, it screams about danger.
Long Bottom Zip (Shorts in Traps)
Unlike in the past, we now find ourselves with a bullish structure forming a downward squeeze.
When this happens, our hypothesis should always be that until new pockets of liquidity are created for the longs at these highs, this type of structure will run the risk that the move will end (exhaustion), leading to a strong pullback. It is in this type of retracement that we can see the best opportunities for long as price returns to retest the area in which sellers were trapped earlier.
Long top zip (no shorts in traps)
In this situation, there is a risk of an immediate continuation of the trend. If you look at the example graph below, this is exactly the case when buyers will not be overwhelmed by the imbalance in the supply.
Despite the backward environment, the environment will still be favorable for the search for buying opportunities as the latest data suggests that both buyers and sellers have agreed to higher price levels.
When these structures emerge, buyers who have maintained such a high price are not going to give up without a fight, and this is where downturn buying opportunities tend to arise. This pattern tends to create an initial false move that depletes itself before price magnetically pulls back to the previous major (yellow) level where the next battle will take place.
Putting it all together
We have come to the end of this tutorial. Remember, you must consider these new concepts as part of a holistic approach to markets. If you don't understand your surroundings without doing proper multi-timeframe research, you may be missing out on some of the picture.
MTF Order Block FinderAn Order Block is a special type of pivot point that satisfies the following requirement:
A Bull/Bear candle followed by X consecutive candles in the opposite direction.
Order Blocks are interesting areas that are frequently revisited and can be treated as Support/Resistance levels.
Often, you can see explosive price rejection of these areas via long wicks, high volume, and rapid price change.
Features
Choose from two themes:
- LIGHT: a classic Red and Green representing Bearish and Bullish OBs, respectively
- DARK: a clean Blue and White scheme
Choose from two drawing styles:
- LINE: three lines representing the High, Low, and Mid price levels of the OB candle
- BOX: a bounded area similar to the "rectangle" tool
Chose a custom timeframe:
- From 1 Minute (useful for Seconds interval) up to 1 Month
Note, this setting is experimental and choosing a timeframe that is extraordinarily large may not function properly.
Filter order blocks with two settings:
- Number of consecutive bars
- Minimum % change of the potential OB bar (default 0.25%)
Keep your charts clean and show only relevant OBs
- Maximum number of Bullish zones to show
- Maximum number of Bearish zones to show
FAQ
Q: How do I trade with this indicator?
A:Personally, I use a fast entry indicator to confirm Long/Short position when price is rejected. I set my SL and TP based on the current Zone and the next one, if available.
Q: Does this repaint?
A:Yes and this is okay! The "Bear" and "Bull" signals are not meant for taking positions, only showing which candle reveals the Order Block. The Zone is much more useful to us and can result in several successful trades in the near future when treated as a support/resistance area.
Q What's the winrate?
A:Hard to say - this isn't a standalone strategy and I haven't been able to properly backtest it quite yet.
Trend lines + Pivot Levels + Candlestick PatternsThis is a pure PRICE ACTION indicator that will show you possible trend lines, pivot lines and candlestick patterns at once.
it has been designed to determine upper and lower trend lines in the chart and you can set candlestick patterns on them with alerts!
it means that you add the indicator to the chart and set the alert and done!
whenever a pinbar or engulf or breakout(in both directions) happens, you will be notified by alerts.
you also have pivot lines on the chart by this indicator. you can set the candlesticks on pivots instead of trend lines, so if you are a fan of support and resistance you can have this one, it depends on you.
all of the pivots and trend lines and also the candle sticks are customizable, so you can exactly select the pinbar, engulfing or breakout candle that matches with your mindset. for example you can set a pinbar that long shadow is 4 times or 3 times greater than the body, it's on you.
you can also customize trendlines or pivot lines, if you are scalper you can set it to small trend lines and if you are day trader or long term trader you can set it to the number that fits with your strategy.
trends and pivots will be updated automatically and there is no need to set it every time.

[CP]Pivot Boss Candlestick Scanner - No Repainting This indicator is based on the high probability candlestick patterns described in the ’Secrets of a Pivot Boss’ book.
The indicator does not suffer from repainting.
I have kept this indicator open source, so that you can take this indicator and design a complete trading system around it.
Although the patterns have some statistical edge in the markets, blindly using them as Buy/Sell Indicators will certainly result in a heavy loss.
I like some of these setups more than others, and I have listed them in the order of my likeness.
The first one I like the most, the last one, I like the least.
The patterns are universal and work well in both intraday, daily and even larger timeframes.
Signals in the example charts are manually marked by,
Hammer - profitable short signal
Rocket - profitable long signal
X - unprofitable long or short signal
GENERAL USER INPUTS:
These settings exist as the indicator uses ‘Labels’ to mark the patterns and Pine Script limits a maximum of 500 labels on a chart.
If you want to go back in the past and check how the indicator was doing, set the Start and End dates both and check the ’Use the date range above to mark the Candlestick Setups?’ option.
EXTREME REVERSAL SETUP:
This is by far my favorite setup in the lot. Classic Mean Reversion setup.
The logic, as explained in the book, goes like this,
1. The first bar of the pattern is about two times larger than the average size of the candles in the lookback period.
2. The body of the first bar of the pattern should encompass more than 50 percent of the bar’s total range, but usually not more than 85 percent.
3. The second bar of the pattern opposes the first.
The setup works extremely well in high beta stocks like Vedanta VEDL.
Feel free to play with the settings in order to better align this pattern with your favorite stock.
Check out the examples below,
No indicator is perfect, failed patterns are marked with an X.
OUTSIDE REVERSAL SETUP:
My second favorite setup, it is quite good at catching intraday trends.
Here’s the logic,
1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar’s low and a close that is above the prior bar’s high. Reverse the conditions for bearish outside reversal.
2. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period.
Settings for this pattern simply reflect these conditions. Feel free to modify them as you wish.
The pattern is pretty powerful and will sometimes help you catch literally all the highs and lows of the market, as shown in the examples of Vedanta VEDL and RELIANCE stocks below.
As usual, this pattern is not PERFECT either.
DOJI REVERSAL SETUP:
Doji candles signify market indecision and this pattern tries to profit off these market conditions.
Logic:
1. The open and close price of the doji should fall within 10 percent of each other, as measured by the total range of the candlestick.
2. For a bullish doji, the high of the doji candlestick should be below the ten-period simple moving average. Vice-versa for bearish.
3. For a bullish doji setup, one of the two bars following the doji must close above the high of the doji. Vice-versa for bearish.
Feel free to modify the settings and optimize according to the stock you are trading.
Don't optimize too much :)
This pattern works brilliantly well on larger intraday timeframes, like 15m/30m/60m.
This pattern also has a higher propensity to give false indications than the two described above.
Doji reversal typically helps to catch larger trend reversals. Check out the examples below from RELIANCE and NIFTY charts,
Note that the RELIANCE chart below is the same as shown for the Outside Reversal Setup above, notice the confluence of Outside
Reversal and Doji Reversal on the 31st August.
Confluence of patterns usually increases the probability of success.
RELIANCE 15m Chart - Pattern can catch nice trends on higher timeframes
NIFTY 15m Chart
WICK REVERSAL SETUP:
This pattern tries to capture candlesticks with large wick sizes, as they often indicate trend reversal when coupled with significant support and resistance levels.
Logic:
1. The body is used to determine the size of the reversal wick. A wick that is between 2.5 to 3.5 times larger than the size of the body is ideal.
2. For a bullish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the top 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
3. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
This pattern must always be coupled with important support resistance levels, else there will be a lot of false signals.
The chart below is the same NIFTY chart as above with the Wick Reversal candles marked as well.
You can see that there are a lot of false signals, but the price also indicates ’pausing’ at important levels by printing a wick reversal setup.
You can use this information to your advantage when riding a trend.
FINAL WORDS:
Settings for various patterns simply reflect the logic described.
You will probably need to tweak and optimize the pattern settings for the stock that you are trading.
Higher Beta/Higher Volatility stocks are a great choice for these patterns.
Using these patterns at critical support and resistance levels will result in dramatically high accuracy.
Be creative and try to develop a proper system around this indicator, with rules for position sizing, stop loss etc.
You do not have to trade all the patterns. Even trading just one pattern with a proper system is good enough.
DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR AS A BUY/SELL SYSTEM, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.
Feel free to drop any feedback in the comments section below, or if you have any unique candlestick patterns that you would like me to code.
