Coding Indicator in Tradingview from InspirationSo today is rest and research Sunday and I wanted to share with folks how I go about creating new strategies and indicators. Hopefully this can teach traders to fish rather than giving them just the fish (of a buy/sell signal!)
I was inspired by watching a Youtube podcast Desiretotrade by Etienne Crane where I saw on his chart arrows indicating where price closed outside of a Bollinger Band followed by price closing back inside. This made me want to test such a price action phenomenon myself and to do that I needed to code it up.
I'm really a hacker when it comes to programming and Pine Script but I began coding from ZERO knowledge and my tricks, which I share, should hopefully help new Tradingview/Pine Script coders. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!! It has all the answers if you just type the correct search :)
Unfortunately, I did not realize that Tradingview cuts off videos at 20 minutes. Oops! I got the meat of the indicator and process of using it all recorded and got cut off as I was cleaning up the code to make it more user friendly. I'll know to keep track of time for the next video!
Please let me know if this was helpful to traders... I get motivated by positive vibes to do more teaching!

EUR/USD and USD/JPY on watch for me today.EUR/USD:
• If price pushes down to and ideally just below our lower outer structure trend line and the last part of the move is corrective, then I'll be looking for a risk entry after a phase line break on either the fifteen minute or the one hour chart.
• If price only pushes down to our rayline, then regardless of how price does so I'll be waiting for a convincing push back up followed by a tight flag where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If price only pushes down to our rayline, then regardless of how price does so I'll be waiting for a convincing push back up followed by a tight flag where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag. But if the flag forms close to our rayline, then I'll be hiding my stop loss below it as illustrated for extra protection.
• If none of these setups present themselves then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place any of these trades.

GBP/AUD, EUR/JPY, NZD/JPY, GBP/USD and GBP/JPY on watch today.GBP/AUD:
• If the corrective piece of price action that has just formed develops a little further and in doing so it allows me to draw a trend line both above and below it on either the one hour or the fifteen minute chart, I'll be looking to place an order just below the lower trend line that I subsequently plot.
• If price pushes down below our rayline convincingly and the impulse is followed by a tight flag, then I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.

• I'll not be looking for any risk entries after either a corrective third touch of our lower trend line or our lower rayline, because in the former's case price could trickle down to our lower rayline and having my stop loss below it would make my stop loss too wide and in the latter's case I'd potentially be taking a risk entry just below as opposed to above a three touch structure.
