Price Action High 2 + Risk/Reward VisualizerIntroduction: Price Action High 2 (Bull Flag) Setup This script identifies the High 2 (H2) setup, a staple price action pattern popularized by Al Brooks. The High 2 is a high-probability continuation pattern designed to catch the resumption of a bull trend after a two-legged pullback (a "complex" bull flag). In a strong uptrend, the first attempt to end a pullback often fails (High 1). The High 2 represents the second, and usually more reliable, attempt by bulls to take control, often forming a "double bottom" structure within the flag. How the Logic Works The indicator follows a strict state-machine logic to ensure the pattern is valid: Trend Confirmation: The script filters for an established uptrend where price is above a rising EMA (adjustable in settings). Pullback Identification: It looks for a sequence of bars making lower highs. High 1 (H1): The first bar in the correction that breaks above the high of the prior bar. The Second Leg: The script then waits for the price to again fail to break a high, confirming a second leg of the pullback. High 2 (H2): The signal is triggered when a bar breaks the high of the previous bar for the second time. Key Features Signal Bar Quality Filter: Not all High 2s are equal. This script includes a filter ensuring the signal bar closes in the upper portion of its range (bullish conviction) to avoid "weak" breakouts. Automated Risk/Reward Visualizer: Upon a signal, the script automatically projects a Stop Loss (at the signal bar low) and a Take Profit level based on a customizable R:R ratio. Clean Visuals: Labeled "H2" markers and dashed trend lines keep the chart uncluttered. How to Trade It Entry: Place a buy-stop order 1 tick above the High 2 signal bar. Stop Loss: Traditionally placed below the low of the signal bar or the most recent swing low. Target: Common targets include a 1:2 Risk/Reward ratio or the previous major swing high. Settings Guide EMA Length: Adjust this to match your timeframe (e.g., 20 for intraday, 50 for daily). Min Close %: Set this to 50% or higher to ensure you only take trades where the bulls finished the bar strong. Risk:Reward Ratio: Customize your profit targets to align with your personal trading plan.

SMT Divergence [Kodexius]SMT Divergence is a correlation-based divergence detector built around the Smart Money Technique concept: when two normally correlated instruments should be making similar swing progress, but one prints a new extreme while the other fails to confirm it. This “disagreement” can be a valuable contextual signal around liquidity runs, distribution phases, and potential reversal or continuation points. The script compares the chart symbol (primary) with a user-selected comparison symbol (for example BTC vs ETH, ES vs NQ, EUR/USD vs GBP/USD) and automatically scans both instruments for confirmed swing highs and swing lows using pivot logic. Once swings are established, it checks for classic SMT conditions: Primary makes a new swing extreme while the comparison symbol forms a non-confirming swing . To support a wider range of markets, the indicator includes an Inverse Correlation option for pairs that typically move opposite to each other (for example DXY vs EUR/USD). With this enabled, the divergence rules are logically flipped so that the script still detects “non-confirmation” in a way that is consistent with the pair’s relationship. The indicator is designed to be readable and actionable. It can draw divergence labels directly on the main chart, connect the relevant swing points with lines, show a compact information table with the last signal and settings, and optionally render the comparison symbol as a mini candle chart in the indicator pane for quick visual validation. 🔹 Features 🔸 Two-Symbol SMT Analysis (Primary vs Compare) Select any comparison symbol to evaluate correlation structure and divergence. The script fetches the comparison OHLC data using the current chart timeframe to keep both series aligned for analysis. 🔸 Inverse Correlation Mode For inversely correlated pairs, enable “Inverse Correlation” so the script interprets confirmation appropriately (for example, a higher low on the comparison instrument might be expected to correspond to a lower low on the primary, depending on the relationship). This helps avoid false conclusions when the pair naturally moves opposite. 🔸 Pivot-Based Swing with Adjustable Sensitivity Swings are detected using confirmed pivots (left bars and right bars). This provides cleaner structural swing points compared with raw candle-to-candle comparisons, and it lets you control sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes. The script also limits stored swing history to keep performance stable. 🔸 Flexible Detection Mode: Time Matched or Independent Swings You can choose how swings are paired across instruments: Time Matched searches for a comparison swing that occurred at the same pivot time as the primary swing. Independent Swings compares each symbol’s own last two swings without requiring an exact time match. 🔸 Range Control and Noise Filtering To reduce weak or irrelevant signals: “Max Bars Between Swings” ensures the two swings being compared are close enough in structure to be meaningful. “Min Price Diff (%)” can require a minimum percentage change between the primary’s last two swing prices to confirm the move is significant. 🔸 Clear Visual Output with Tooltips When a divergence is detected, the script can print a label (“SMT”) with bullish or bearish styling and a tooltip that includes the symbol pair and the primary swing price for quick context. 🔸 Divergence Lines for Context Optional lines connect the relevant swing points, making it easier to see the exact structure that triggered the signal. One line can be drawn on the main chart and another in the indicator pane for the comparison series. 🔸 Info Table (At a Glance) A compact table can display the active symbols, correlation mode, total divergences stored, and the most recent signal type. 🔸 Alerts Included Built-in alert conditions are provided for bullish SMT, bearish SMT, and any SMT event so you can automate notifications without editing the code. 🔸 Optional Comparison Candle Panel If enabled, the indicator can plot the comparison symbol as candles in the indicator pane. This is useful for confirming whether the divergence is happening around major levels, consolidations, or impulsive legs on the secondary instrument. 🔹 Calculations This section summarizes the core logic used by the script. 1. Data Synchronization (Comparison Symbol) The comparison instrument is requested on the chart’s current timeframe so swing calculations are performed consistently: = request.security(compareSymbolInput, timeframe.period, ) This ensures pivots and swing times are derived from the same bar cadence as the primary chart. 2. Swing Detection via Confirmed Pivots Swings are detected using pivot logic with user-defined left and right bars: primaryPivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars) primaryPivotLow = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars) Because pivots are confirmed only after the “right bars” have closed, the script stores each swing using an offset so the swing’s bar index and time reflect where the pivot actually occurred, not where it was confirmed. 3. Swing Storage and Retrieval Both symbols maintain arrays of SwingPoint objects. Each new swing is pushed into the array, and older swings are dropped once the array exceeds the configured maximum. This makes the divergence engine predictable and prevents uncontrolled memory growth. The script then retrieves the last and previous swing highs and lows (per symbol) to evaluate structure. 4. Matching Logic (Time Matched vs Independent) When “Time Matched” is selected, the script searches the comparison swing array for a pivot that occurred at the exact same timestamp as the primary swing. When “Independent Swings” is selected, it simply uses the comparison symbol’s last two swings of the same type. 5. Bullish SMT Condition (LL vs HL) A bullish SMT event is defined as: Primary forms a lower low (last low < previous low) Comparison forms a higher low (last low > previous low) If inverse correlation is enabled, the comparison condition flips to maintain logical confirmation rules The two primary swings must be within the configured bar distance window Optional minimum percentage difference must be satisfied A simple anti duplication rule prevents repeated triggers on the same structure These checks are implemented directly in the bullish detection block. 6. Bearish SMT Condition (HH vs LH) A bearish SMT event is defined as: Primary forms a higher high (last high > previous high) Comparison forms a lower high (last high < previous high) Inverse correlation flips the comparison rule Range checks, minimum difference filtering, and duplicate protection apply similarly These checks are implemented in the bearish detection block. 7. Percentage Difference Filter The optional “Min Price Diff (%)” filter measures the relative distance between the last two primary swing prices. This prevents very small structural changes from being treated as valid SMT signals. priceDiffPerc = math.abs(lastSwing.price - prevSwing.price) / prevSwing.price * 100.0 The divergence condition is only allowed to trigger if this value exceeds the user defined threshold. priceOk = priceDiffPerc >= minPriceDiff This filter is especially useful on higher timeframes or during low volatility conditions, where micro structure noise can otherwise produce misleading signals. 8. Visualization and Output When a divergence is confirmed, the script: Stores the event in a divergence array (limited by “Max Divergences to Display”) Draws a directional SMT label with a tooltip (optional) Draws connecting lines using time based coordinates for clean alignment (optional) It also updates an information table on the last bar only, and exposes alertconditions for automation workflows.

Day Color CandlesThe script uses TradingView’s built-in dayofweek value (where Monday = 1 and Sunday = 7) to detect the current bar’s weekday. For each weekday, a specific color is assigned — green for Monday, blue for Tuesday, purple for Wednesday, orange for Thursday, yellow for Friday, gray for Saturday, and red for Sunday. Instead of plotting new candles, the script uses barcolor() to recolor the existing chart candles. This avoids conflicts with TradingView’s rule that a script may contain only one main declaration. The price data remains unchanged — only the visual appearance of the candles is modified to help the user visually separate trading days.

Price vs Moving Average Cross (Golden & Death Signals)This indicator detects price crossings against multiple moving averages, not crossings between moving averages themselves. 🔹 Core Concept A Golden Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses above a selected moving average. A Death Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses below a selected moving average. ⚠️ This is NOT a moving-average-to-moving-average crossover indicator. It is a price-to-moving-average crossover indicator. 📈 Moving Average Settings The indicator uses three independent moving averages, each configurable by the user: 1️⃣ Moving Average 1 (Golden Signal) Default: 20-period Type: EMA or SMA Signal: Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal 2️⃣ Moving Average 2 (Golden Signal) Default: 50-period Type: EMA or SMA Signal: Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal 3️⃣ Moving Average 3 (Death Signal) Default: 100-period Type: EMA or SMA Signal: Price crossing below MA → Death Signal 🔔 Signal Logic Signal Type Condition Golden Cross 1 Close price crosses above MA 1 Golden Cross 2 Close price crosses above MA 2 Death Cross Close price crosses below MA 3 Each signal is evaluated independently. 📊 Visual Representation Green Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 1 Purple Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 2 Red Down Arrow → Price crosses below MA 3 All moving averages are plotted directly on the price chart. 🎯 Practical Use Cases Identifying trend initiation points Confirming pullback breakouts Acting as an entry timing assistant Using MA 3 as a trend filter / exit warning ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator may generate false signals in sideways or ranging markets.

Absorption DetectorSource: Prof Michael G. Credit: GreatestUsername for the coding & implementation. Zones of Support and Resistance can feel like drawing boxes on the chart. This indicator to help spot areas of possible reversal. It uses Volume Confirmation and Body-to-Wick Ratio to do this and defined as: 1. Volume Confirmation High Volume: A candle that absorbs sitting limit orders is often accompanied with higher than average volume. The indicator define this type of candle if it has a volume is greater than 250%/350% of the average volume over the last 10 candles. 2. Body-to-Wick Ratio Body vs. Wick: A candle with a small body and large wicks can indicate higher probability of reversal. You can define an absorption candle if the body of the candle is less than 50% of the total range (high-low). These settings are also customizable to your own desired settings and should be used as a visual aid.

Bull/Bear vs Base vs Index (% Change Spread)Visualizes the performance gap ("Beta Decay") between 3x Leveraged ETFs (SOXL/SOXS) and their underlying sector (SOXX), relative to the S&P 500 (SPY). This indicator is designed for traders who trade leveraged products (like SOXL/SOXS, TQQQ/SQQQ) and need to see true relative strength beyond simple price action. It calculates the percentage change over a user-defined lookback period for four instruments: Base (1x): The sector benchmark (Default: SOXX). Bull (3x): The leveraged long ETF (Default: SOXL). Bear (-3x): The leveraged inverse ETF (Default: SOXS). Index: The broad market zero-line (Default: SPY). It then plots the Spread to reveal the health of the trend: Bull Spread (Green Line): Bull % - Base % Bear Spread (Red Line): Bear % - Base % Base vs Index (Filled Area): Base % - SPY % 🧠 The Logic: Why Use Spreads? In a perfectly efficient trending market, a 3x Bull ETF should move exactly 300% of the underlying asset. However, in choppy or volatile markets, volatility decay (beta slippage) causes leveraged ETFs to underperform mathematically. Positive Spread: The leveraged ETF is successfully capturing momentum (The "Sweet Spot"). Negative Spread: The leveraged ETF is suffering from drag or the underlying asset is chopping. 📈 Recommended Trading Plan Note: This indicator works best as a filter for entry conditions, not a standalone signal. Always use proper risk management. Strategy A: The "Clean Trend" (Momentum) Goal: Enter a 3x position only when volatility drag is minimal. 1. Bull Signal: Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Green (Sector is outperforming SPY). Condition 2: The Bull Spread (Green Line) is Positive (> 0). Why: This confirms the sector is strong AND the 3x ETF is amplifying that move efficiently without decay eating the profits. 2. Bear Signal: Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Red (Sector is lagging SPY). Condition 2: The Bear Spread (Red Line) is Positive (> 0). Why: This confirms the sector is crashing and the Bear ETF is successfully capturing the downside momentum. Strategy B: The "Decay Avoidance" (Cash is King) Goal: Avoid leveraged funds during chop. Condition: If BOTH the Bull Spread and Bear Spread are Negative (< 0) (below the zero line). Action: Stay in Cash or trade the 1x underlying (SOXX) only. Why: When both spreads are negative, it mathematically proves that the market is too choppy for leverage. Both the Long and Short leveraged funds are losing value relative to the underlying asset. Features: Pine Script® v6: Updated for the latest engine performance and visuals. Dashboard Table: Real-time percentage spreads displayed directly on the chart (customizable position). Fully Customizable: Works on any sector (e.g., set inputs to QQQ/TQQQ/SQQQ for Tech). Disclaimer: Trading leveraged ETFs involves significant risk. This script is for educational purposes only.
