Artharjan ADXArtharjan ADX (AADX) by Rrahul Desai @Artharjan 📌 Overview The Artharjan ADX (AADX) is an advanced implementation of the Average Directional Index (ADX) with customizable moving averages, momentum thresholds, and visually intuitive grading of bullish and bearish strength. Unlike the standard ADX indicator that only shows trend strength, AADX adds graded bullish/bearish conditions, alerts, smoothed DI signals, histogram visualizations, and background color fills to help traders quickly interpret market conditions. It is designed for traders who want early detection of trend strength, clean visual cues, and automated alert triggers for both bullish and bearish momentum setups. ⚙️ Key Features 🔹 Customizable Calculations DI Length (default 13) – controls sensitivity of directional indicators. +/- DI Smoothing – smooths DI signals with user-selected MA. Multiple Moving Average Types – SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, ALMA, Hull, SWMA, SMMA, TMA. ADX Smoothing – define how smooth/fast the ADX reacts. 🔹 Flexible Display Toggle between line plots or histogram view. Adjustable plot thickness. Option to plot averages of ADX, +DI, -DI for confirmation. Configurable background fills: ADX above/below momentum threshold. ADX rising/falling color shading. Trend-grade based color intensity. 🔹 Momentum & Thresholds Momentum Level (default 25) → defines “strong trend” zone. Crossover Threshold (default 15) → helps detect early DI crossovers. Color-coded histogram bars for +DI vs -DI difference: Above/below zero. Rising/falling momentum. 🔹 Bullish & Bearish Grading System The indicator assigns grades from 1 to 5 for both bullish and bearish setups, based on DI and ADX conditions: Bullish Grades Grade 1 → Very Weak Bullish Grade 2 → Weak Bullish Grade 3 → Moderate Bullish Grade 4 → Strong Bullish Grade 5 → Very Strong Bullish Bearish Grades Grade 1 → Very Weak Bearish Grade 2 → Weak Bearish Grade 3 → Moderate Bearish Grade 4 → Strong Bearish Grade 5 → Very Strong Bearish Labels are automatically plotted above bars to indicate the active grade. 🔹 Alerts Bullish Alert → when +DI crosses above its average below the threshold OR bullish conditions are met. Bearish Alert → when -DI crosses above its average below the threshold OR bearish conditions are met. These alerts make it possible to automate trading signals for scalping, intraday, and swing trading. 📊 Use Cases Trend Strength Measurement Spot when markets shift from range-bound to trending. Confirm the reliability of breakouts with strong ADX readings. Bullish vs Bearish Control Compare +DI vs -DI strength to gauge trend direction. Identify trend reversals early with DI slope changes. Momentum Confirmation Use ADX rising + DI grades to validate trade entries. Filter false breakouts with weak ADX. Trade Grading System Enter aggressively on Grade 4–5 signals. Stay cautious on Grade 1–2 signals. Automated Alerts & Screening Combine AADX alerts with strategy rules. Build scanners to highlight strong ADX setups across multiple stocks. 🎯 Trader’s Advantage More powerful than standard ADX → Adds slope, grading, alerts, and visualization. Adaptable to any style → Works for intraday scalping, swing trading, and positional analysis. Visual clarity → Color fills, histograms, and labels simplify decision-making. Customizable smoothing → Adjusts to fast or slow markets. ✅ Closing Note The Artharjan ADX (AADX) transforms the traditional ADX into a complete trend and momentum analyzer. It helps traders detect, confirm, and act on directional strength with clarity and confidence. With Thanks, Rrahul Desai @Artharjan

1H Candlestick vs EMA Crossover# Description — 1H Candlestick vs EMA Crossover (Pine Script) This indicator is built in **TradingView Pine Script v5** and is designed to track the relationship between the **1‑hour candlestick close** and the **1‑hour Exponential Moving Average (EMA)**. It works on any chart timeframe but always pulls in **1H data** using `request. security`. ### Core Features * **Customizable EMA length** (default = 200) * **Plots the 1H EMA** as an orange line on your chart * Optionally shows the **1H close** as a faint gray line for reference * Detects and highlights when the **1H candle close crosses above or below the 1H EMA** * **Arrows**: Green triangles appear below the bar when a bullish crossover happens (1H close > EMA); red triangles appear above the bar when a bearish crossover happens (1H close < EMA) * **Alerts**: Built‑in `alert condition` statements let you create TradingView alerts whenever a crossover occurs ### How to Use 1. Adjust the EMA length if you want a faster or slower moving average. 2. Enable alerts: Right‑click the chart → Add Alert → choose this indicator and select either “crossed ABOVE EMA” or “crossed BELOW EMA.” ### Trading Applications * **Trend Confirmation**: Use the 1H EMA as a higher‑timeframe filter while trading on lower timeframes. * **Entry/Exit Signals**: Crossovers can mark potential entry points for trend continuation or reversals. * **Scalping/Intraday**: Even on a 5m or 15m chart, you can overlay the 1H EMA to align your trades with the bigger trend. This makes the indicator a simple yet powerful tool for aligning trades with higher‑timeframe momentum and avoiding false signals from lower‑timeframe noise.

Session Levels [odnac]This indicator plots the high and low levels of the three main trading sessions—Asia, Europe, and New York—along with the previous day’s high, low, and open. Each session’s time range can be customized using a UTC offset, and the indicator automatically tracks session highs and lows as price develops. Functions: Plots session highs and lows for Asia, Europe, and New York. Shows previous day’s high, low, and open as reference levels. Session times are fully configurable with hour and minute precision, including UTC offset adjustment. Each session level is marked with both a line and a label for clarity. Color customization for each session and previous day levels. Designed for intraday timeframes (1–60 minutes). Filter Condition: When the filter option is enabled, the indicator adjusts how levels are drawn: A session high above the current close is displayed as a solid line with a visible label. Once price closes above that high, the line becomes dotted and dimmed, and the label also becomes less emphasized. Similarly, a session low below the current close is displayed as a solid line and label. If price closes below that low, the line switches to dotted and dimmed, with the label adjusted accordingly. This behavior highlights only the most relevant levels for the current market position while still keeping breached levels visible in a subdued style, making it easier to spot active breakout or liquidity zones.

EMA20 Cross Strategy with countertrades and signalsEMA20 Cross Strategy Documentation Overview The EMA20 Cross Strategy with Counter-Trades and Instant Signals is a Pine Script (version 6) trading strategy designed for the TradingView platform. It implements an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover system to generate buy and sell signals, with optional trend filtering, session-based trading, instant signal processing, and visual/statistical feedback. The strategy supports counter-trades (closing opposing positions before entering new ones) and operates with a fixed trade size in EUR. Features EMA Crossover Mechanism: Uses a short-term EMA (configurable length, default: 1) and a long-term EMA (default: 20) to detect crossovers. A buy signal is generated when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA. A sell signal is generated when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA. Instant Signals: If enabled (useInstantSignals), signals are based on the current price crossing the short EMA, rather than waiting for the candle close. This allows faster trade execution but may increase sensitivity to price fluctuations. Trend Filter: Optionally filters trades based on the trend direction (useTrendFilter). Long trades are allowed only when the short EMA (or price, for instant signals) is above the long EMA. Short trades are allowed only when the short EMA (or price) is below the long EMA. Session Filter: Restricts trading to specific market hours (sessionStart, default: 09:00–17:00) if enabled (useSessionFilter). Ensures trades occur only during active market sessions, reducing exposure to low-liquidity periods. Customizable Timeframe: The EMA calculations can use a higher timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, default: 1H) via request.security. This allows the strategy to base signals on longer-term trends while operating on a shorter-term chart. Trade Management: Fixed trade size of €100,000 per trade (tradeAmount), with a maximum quantity cap (maxQty = 10,000) to prevent oversized trades. Counter-trades: Closes short positions before entering a long position and vice versa. Trades are executed with a minimum quantity of 1 to ensure valid orders. Visualization: EMA Lines: The short EMA is colored based on the last signal (green for buy, red for sell, gray for neutral), and the long EMA is orange. Signal Markers: Displays buy/sell signals as arrows (triangles) above/below candles if enabled (showSignalShapes). Background/Candle Coloring: Optionally colors the chart background or candles green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on the trend (useColoredBars). Statistics Display: If enabled (useStats), a label on the chart shows: Total closed trades Open trades Win rate (%) Number of winning/losing trades Profit factor (gross profit / gross loss) Net profit Maximum drawdown Configuration Inputs EMA Short Length (emaLength): Length of the short-term EMA (default: 1). Trend EMA Length (trendLength): Length of the long-term EMA (default: 20). Enable Trend Filter (useTrendFilter): Toggles trend-based filtering (default: true). Color Candles (useColoredBars): Colors candles instead of the background (default: true). Enable Session Filter (useSessionFilter): Restricts trading to specified hours (default: false). Trading Session (sessionStart): Defines trading hours (default: 09:00–17:00). Show Statistics (useStats): Displays performance stats on the chart (default: true). Show Signal Arrows (showSignalShapes): Displays buy/sell signals as arrows (default: true). Use Instant Signals (useInstantSignals): Generates signals based on live price action (default: false). EMA Timeframe (emaTimeframe): Timeframe for EMA calculations (options: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D; default: 1H). Strategy Logic Signal Generation: Standard Mode: Signals are based on EMA crossovers (short EMA crossing long EMA) at candle close. Instant Mode: Signals are based on the current price crossing the short EMA, enabling faster reactions. Trade Execution: On a buy signal, closes any short position and opens a long position. On a sell signal, closes any long position and opens a short position. Position size is calculated as the minimum of €100,000 or available equity, divided by the current price, capped at 10,000 units. Filters: Trend Filter: Ensures trades align with the trend direction (if enabled). Session Filter: Restricts trades to user-defined market hours (if enabled). Visual Feedback EMA Lines: Provide a clear view of the short and long EMAs, with the short EMA’s color reflecting the latest signal. Signal Arrows: Large green triangles (buy) below candles or red triangles (sell) above candles for easy signal identification. Chart Coloring: Highlights bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends via background or candle colors. Statistics Label: Displays key performance metrics in a label above the chart for quick reference. Usage Notes Initial Capital: €100,000 (configurable via initial_capital). Currency: EUR (set via currency). Order Processing: Orders are processed at candle close (process_orders_on_close=true) unless instant signals are enabled. Dynamic Requests: Allows dynamic timeframe adjustments for EMA calculations (dynamic_requests=true). Platform: Designed for TradingView, compatible with any market supported by the platform (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto). Example Use Case Scenario: Trading on a 5-minute chart with a 1-hour EMA timeframe, trend filter enabled, and session filter set to 09:00–17:00. Behavior: The strategy will: Calculate EMAs on the 1-hour timeframe. Generate buy signals when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA (and price is above the long EMA). Generate sell signals when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA (and price is below the long EMA). Execute trades only during 09:00–17:00. Display green/red candles and performance stats on the chart. Limitations Instant Signals: May lead to more frequent signals, increasing the risk of false positives in volatile markets. Fixed Trade Size: Does not adjust dynamically based on market conditions beyond equity and max quantity limits. Session Filter: Simplified and may not account for complex session rules or holidays. Statistics: Displayed on-chart, which may clutter the view in smaller charts. Customization Adjust emaLength and trendLength to suit different market conditions (e.g., shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading). Toggle useInstantSignals for faster or more stable signal generation. Modify sessionStart to align with specific market hours. Disable useStats or showSignalShapes for a cleaner chart. This strategy is versatile for both manual and automated trading, offering flexibility for various markets and trading styles while providing clear visual and statistical feedback.

Sunset Zones by PDVDescription Sunset Zones by PDV is an intraday reference indicator that plots key horizontal levels based on selected “root candles” throughout the trading day. At each programmed time, the indicator identifies the high and low of the corresponding candle and projects those levels forward with extended lines, providing traders with a clean visual framework of potential intraday reaction zones. These zones serve as reference levels for support, resistance, liquidity grabs, and session context, allowing traders to analyze how price reacts around time-specific structures. Unlike lagging indicators, Sunset Zones gives traders real-time, rule-based levels tied directly to the price action of specific moments in the session. Key Features Predefined Time Codes The script comes with a curated list of intraday timestamps (in HHMM format). Each represents a “root candle” from which levels are generated. Examples include 03:12, 06:47, 07:41, 08:51, etc. These time codes can reflect historically important market moments such as session opens, liquidity sweeps, or volatility inflection points. Automatic Zone Plotting At each root time, the script captures the candle’s high and low and instantly extends those levels forward across the chart. This provides consistent, objective reference points for intraday trading. Extended Lines Levels are projected far into the future (default: 500 bars) so traders can easily track how price interacts with those zones throughout the day. Color-Coded Levels Each root time is assigned a distinct color for fast identification. For example: 03:12 → Fuchsia 06:47 → Purple 07:41 → Teal 08:51 → White 09:53 → White 10:20 → Orange 11:10 → Green 11:49 → Red 12:05 → White 13:05 → Teal 14:09 → Aqua This helps traders quickly recognize which time-of-day level price is interacting with. Lightweight & Visual The indicator focuses purely on price and time, avoiding complexity or lagging signals. It can be layered with other analysis tools, order flow charts, or session-based studies. Practical Use Cases Intraday Bias: Observe whether price respects, rejects, or consolidates around these reference levels to form a bias. Liquidity Zones: High/low sweeps of the root candle can act as liquidity pools where institutions might trigger stops or reversals. Support & Resistance: Extended lines create intraday S/R zones without the need to manually draw levels. Confluence Finder: Combine Sunset Zones with VWAP, session ranges, Fibonacci levels, or higher-timeframe structure for layered confluence. Important Notes This is a visual reference tool only. It does not generate buy or sell signals. Default times are provided, but the concept is flexible — traders can adapt it by modifying or expanding the list of time codes. Works best on intraday timeframes where session structure is most relevant (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts). ✅ In short: Sunset Zones by PDV gives intraday traders a systematic way to anchor their charts to important time-based highs and lows, creating a consistent framework for analyzing price reactions across the day.

SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced) Script Summary Overview The "SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)" script, written in Pine Script (version 6), is a technical analysis indicator designed for TradingView to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on a price chart. It supports both the main timeframe and multiple higher timeframes (MTF) for comprehensive market analysis. FVGs are price gaps formed by a three-candle pattern, indicating potential areas of market inefficiency where price may return to fill the gap. Key Features FVG Detection: Identifies bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of a candle two bars prior is lower than the low of the current candle, with the middle candle being bullish (close > open). Identifies bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of a candle two bars prior is higher than the high of the current candle, with the middle candle being bearish (close < open). Visualizes FVGs as colored boxes on the chart (green for bullish, red for bearish). Mitigation Tracking: Tracks when FVGs are touched (price overlaps the gap range) or mitigated (price fully closes the gap). Strict Mode: Marks an FVG as mitigated when price touches the gap range. Normal Mode: Requires a full breakthrough (price crossing the gap’s bottom for bullish FVGs or top for bearish FVGs) for mitigation. Optionally converts FVG box borders to dashed lines and increases transparency when partially touched. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support: Analyzes FVGs on three user-defined higher timeframes (default: 15m, 60m, 240m). Displays MTF FVGs with distinct labels and slightly more transparent colors. Ensures no duplicate processing of MTF bars to maintain performance. Customization Options: FVG Length: Adjustable duration for how long FVGs are displayed (default: 20 bars). Show/Hide FVGs: Toggle visibility for main timeframe and each MTF. Color Customization: User-defined colors for bullish and bearish FVGs (default: green and red). Display Options: Toggle for showing dashed lines after partial touches and strict mitigation mode. Performance Optimization: Limits the number of displayed boxes (50 for main timeframe, 20 per MTF) to prevent performance issues. Automatically removes older boxes to maintain a clean chart. Functionality Visualization: Draws boxes around detected FVGs, with customizable colors and text labels ("FVG" for main timeframe, "FVG " for MTF). Dynamic Updates: Extends or terminates FVG boxes based on mitigation status and user settings. Efficient Storage: Uses arrays to manage FVG data (boxes, tops, bottoms, indices, mitigation status, and touch status) separately for main and MTF analyses. Use Case This indicator is designed for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to identify areas of market inefficiency (FVGs) for potential price reversals or continuations. The MTF support allows analysis across different timeframes, aiding in confirming trends or spotting higher-timeframe support/resistance zones.

Burner Volume CandlesVisually see different candle colors based on volume relative to the look back period (default is last 20 candles). This allows you to see if a current candle print is standard, high, or extreme sell/buy volume relative to the look back period. This has been primarily used on the 30s timeframe on NQ. It is also advised to take the NY open candle volume with a grain of salt as that is typically the extreme volume so it doesn't make this indicator as useful when it comes to those candles.
