Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations. The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves. What Makes This Different? Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further: Multi-Stage Tracking Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session. Active Trade Management When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes. Cycle Detection Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry). Failed Breakout Warning If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade. Position Sizing Calculator Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations. Advanced Filtering Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate. Core Features Explained ### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels: ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile) ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular) ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable) ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed) Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each. How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage. ### 2. Breakout Detection When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears: BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts. Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get. ### 3. Retest Detection After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates: The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout Confirmation that the level is significant The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings). ### 4. Failed Breakout Detection If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange. This warns you: The breakout lacked conviction Consider exiting if already in the trade Wait for better setup Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested. ### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management) When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing: Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level) Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark. Lines freeze (stop updating) when: Stop loss is hit The final enabled take-profit is hit End of trading session (optional setting) ### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information: Current ORB stage and range size Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down) Volume confirmation (if filter enabled) Trend alignment (if filter enabled) Entry and Stop Loss prices All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages Risk/Reward ratio Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount Position Sizing Example: If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500). ### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap) Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa). When enabled, this filter: Detects bullish and bearish FVGs Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable. Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default. ### 8. Volume & Trend Filters Volume Filter: Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain. Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average) Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters Dashboard shows current volume ratio Trend Filter: Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from: VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering ### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced) Purpose: Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal. This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals. How it works: - After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%) - Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed - If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway Settings: Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced) Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard) When to use: - Choppy markets with many fake breakouts - When you want higher quality signals - Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation Trade-off: - Better signal quality - May miss some valid fast moves - Slight entry delay How to Use This Indicator ### For Beginners - Simple Setup Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended) Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy Basic Trading Plan: Wait for a clear breakout label Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late) Place stop loss where the red line indicates Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%) ### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30) Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets) Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones) Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing Advanced Strategy Example: Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart) Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x Enable Trend filter using VWAP Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction) Enter on retest if you missed the initial break ### Timeframe Recommendations 5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto 15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular) 30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time 60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

Here's what each section controls: ### ORB COLORS Section Show Edge Labels: Display "ORB 5", "ORB 15" labels at the right edge of the levels Background: Fill the area between ORB high/low with color Transparency: How see-through the background is (95% is nearly invisible) Enable ORB 5/15/30/60: Turn each stage on or off individually Colors: Assign colors to each ORB stage for easy identification ### SESSION SETTINGS Section Session Mode: Choose trading session (Auto-Detect works for most instruments) Custom Session Hours: Define your own hours if needed (format: HHMM-HHMM) Auto-Detect uses the instrument's natural hours (stocks use exchange hours, crypto uses 24/7). ### BREAKOUT DETECTION Section Enable Breakout Detection: Master switch for signals Show Retest Labels: Display retest signals Label Size: Visual size for all labels (Small recommended) Enable FVG Filter: Require Fair Value Gap confirmation Show FVG Boxes: Display the gap boxes on chart Signal Mode: "First Only" = one signal per direction per day, "Track Cycles" = multiple signals Max Cycles: How many breakout-retest cycles to track (6 is balanced) Breakout Buffer: Extra distance required beyond ORB level (0.1-0.2% recommended) Min Distance for Retest: How far price must move away before retest is valid (2% recommended) Min Bars Outside ORB: Bars price must stay outside for committed breakout (2 is balanced) ### TARGETS & RISK Section Enable Targets & Stop-Loss: Calculate and show trade management TP1/TP2/TP3 checkboxes: Select which profit targets to display Stop Method: How to calculate stop loss placement - ATR: Based on volatility (best for most cases) - ORB %: Fixed % of ORB range - Swing: Recent swing high/low - Safer: Widest of all methods ATR Length & Multiplier: Controls ATR stop distance (14 period, 1.5x is standard) ORB Stop %: Percentage beyond ORB for stop (20% is balanced) Swing Bars: Lookback period for swing high/low (3 is recent) ### TP/SL LINES Section Show TP/SL Lines: Display horizontal lines on chart Label Format: "Short" = minimal text, "Detailed" = shows prices Freeze Lines at EOD: Stop extending lines at session close ### DASHBOARD Section Show Info Panel: Display the metrics dashboard Theme: Dark or Light colors Position: Where to place dashboard on chart Toggle rows: Show/hide specific information rows Calculate Position Size: Enable the position sizing calculator Risk Mode: Risk fixed $ amount or % of account Account Size: Your total trading capital Risk %: Percentage to risk per trade (0.5-1% recommended) ### VOLUME FILTER Section Enable Volume Filter: Require volume confirmation MA Length: Average period (20 is standard) Min Volume: Required multiplier (1.5x = 50% above average) Strong Volume: Multiplier that bypasses other filters (2.5x) ### TREND FILTER Section Enable Trend Filter: Require trend alignment Trend Mode: Method to determine trend (VWAP is simple and effective) Custom EMA Length: If using EMA mode (50 for swing, 20 for day trading) SuperTrend settings: Period and Multiplier if using SuperTrend mode ### HIGHER TIMEFRAME Section Check Daily Trend: Display higher timeframe bias in dashboard Timeframe: What TF to check (D = daily, recommended) Method: Price vs MA (stable) or Candle Direction (reactive) MA Period: EMA length for Price vs MA method (20 is balanced) Min Strength %: Minimum strength threshold for HTF bias to be considered - For "Price vs MA": Minimum distance (%) from moving average - For "Candle Direction": Minimum candle body size (%) - 0.5% is balanced - increase for stricter filtering - Lower values = more signals, higher values = only strong trends ### ALERTS Section Enable Alerts: Master switch (must be ON to use any alerts) Breakout Alerts: Notify on ORB breakouts Retest Alerts: Notify when price retests after breakout Failed Break Alerts: Notify on failed breakouts Stage Complete Alerts: Notify when each ORB stage finishes forming After enabling desired alert types, click "Create Alert" button, select this indicator, choose "Any alert() function call". ## Tips & Best Practices ### General Trading Tips ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs) First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective ### Position Sizing Best Practices Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size Update your account size monthly as it grows Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling ### Take Profit Strategy Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2 Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3 Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward) After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days ### Filter Combinations Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality) Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency) Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality) Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto) Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter) ### Common Mistakes to Avoid Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU ## Pros and Cons ### Advantages Complete all-in-one solution - from signal to position sizing Multiple timeframes tracked simultaneously Visual clarity - easy to see what's happening Cycle tracking catches opportunities others miss Built-in risk management eliminates guesswork Customizable filters for different trading styles No repainting - what you see is locked in Works across multiple markets (stocks, forex, crypto) ### Limitations Intraday strategy only - doesn't work on daily charts Requires active monitoring during first 1-2 hours of session Not suitable for after-hours or extended sessions by default Can produce many signals in choppy markets (use filters) Dashboard can be overwhelming for complete beginners Performance depends on market conditions (trends vs ranges) Requires understanding of risk management concepts ### Best For Day traders who can watch the first 1-2 hours of market open Traders who want systematic entry/exit rules Those learning proper position sizing and risk management Active traders comfortable with multiple signals per day Anyone trading liquid instruments with clear sessions ### Not Ideal For Swing traders holding multi-day positions Set-and-forget / passive investors Traders who can't watch market open Complete beginners unfamiliar with trading concepts Low volume / illiquid instruments ## Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why are no signals appearing? A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily. Q: What's the best ORB stage to use? A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together. Q: Should I enable all the filters? A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals. Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use? A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk. Q: Can I use this for swing trading? A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead. Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes? A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete. Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"? A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart. Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex? A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually. Q: How much capital do I need to use this? A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital. Q: Can I backtest this strategy? A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic. Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label? A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup. Q: What's a good win rate to expect? A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates. Q: Does this work on crypto? A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC). ## Credits & Transparency ### Development This indicator was developed with the assistance of AI technology to implement complex ORB trading logic.

Risk Leverage ToolRisk Leverage Tool – Calculate Position Size and Required Leverage This script automatically calculates the optimal position size and the leverage needed based on the amount of capital you are willing to risk on a trade. It is designed for traders who want precise control over their risk management. The script determines the distance between the entry and stop-loss price, calculates the maximum position size that fits within the defined risk, and derives the notional value of the trade. Based on the available margin, it then calculates the required leverage. It also displays the percentage of margin at risk if the stop-loss is hit. All results are displayed in a table in the top-right corner of the chart. Additionally, a label appears at the entry price level showing the same data. To use the tool, simply input your planned entry price, stop-loss price, the maximum risk amount in dollars, and the available margin in the settings menu. The script will update all values automatically in real time. This tool works with any market where capital risk is expressed in absolute terms (such as USD), including futures, CFDs, and leveraged spot positions. For inverse contracts or percentage-based stops, manual adjustment is required.

Adaptive Trend SelectorThe Adaptive Trend Selector is a comprehensive trend-following tool designed to automatically identify the optimal moving average crossover strategy. It features adjustable parameters and an integrated backtester that delivers institutional-grade insights into the recommended strategy. The model continuously adapts to new data in real time by evaluating multiple moving average combinations, determining the best performing lengths, and presenting the backtest results in a clear, color-coded table that benchmarks performance against the buy-and-hold strategy. At its core, the model systematically backtests a wide range of moving average combinations to identify the configuration that maximizes the selected optimization metric. Users can choose to optimize for absolute returns or risk-adjusted returns using the Sharpe, Sortino, or Calmar ratios. Alternatively, users can enable manual optimization to test custom fast and slow moving average lengths and view the corresponding backtest results. The label displays the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the strategy, with the buy-and-hold CAGR in parentheses for comparison. The table presents the backtest results based on the fast and slow lengths displayed at the top: Sharpe = CAGR per unit of standard deviation. Sortino = CAGR per unit of downside deviation. Calmar = CAGR relative to maximum drawdown. Max DD = Largest peak-to-trough decline in value. Beta (β) = Return sensitivity relative to buy-and-hold. Alpha (α) = Excess annualized risk-adjusted returns. Win Rate = Ratio of profitable trades to total trades. Profit Factor = Total gross profit per unit of losses. Expectancy = Average expected return per trade. Trades/Year = Average number of trades per year. This indicator is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling users to specify the start date of the backtesting period and the preferred moving average strategy. Supported strategies include the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Wilder’s Moving Average (RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). To minimize overfitting, users can define constraints such as a minimum and maximum number of trades per year, as well as an optional optimization margin that prioritizes longer, more robust combinations by requiring shorter-length strategies to exceed this threshold. The table follows an intuitive color logic that enables quick performance comparison against buy-and-hold (B&H): Sharpe = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Sortino = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Calmar = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Max DD = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Beta (β) = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse. Alpha (α) = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%. Win Rate = Green indicates above 50%, while red indicates below 50%. Profit Factor = Green indicates above 2, while red indicates below 1. Expectancy = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%. In summary, the Adaptive Trend Selector is a powerful tool designed to help investors make data-driven decisions when selecting moving average crossover strategies. By optimizing for risk-adjusted returns, investors can confidently identify the best lengths using institutional-grade metrics. While results are based on the selected historical period, users should be mindful of potential overfitting, as past results may not persist under future market conditions. Since the model recalibrates to incorporate new data, the recommended lengths may evolve over time.

Better DEMAThe Better DEMA is a new tool designed to recreate the classical moving average DEMA, into a smoother, more reliable tool. Combining many methodologies, this script offers users a unique insight into market behavior. How does it work? First, to get a smoother signal, we need to calculate the Gaussian filter. A Gaussian filter is a smoothing filter that reduces noise and detail by averaging data with weights following a Gaussian (bell-shaped) curve. Now that we have the source, we will calculate the following: n2 = n/2 (half of the user defined length) a = 2/(1+n) ns Now that we have that out of the way, it is time to get into the core. Now we calculate 2 EMAs: slow EMA => EMA over n fast EMA => EMA over n2 period Rather then now doing this: DEMA = fast EMA * 2 - slow EMA I found this to be better: DEMA = slow EMA * (1-a) + fast EMA * a As a last touch I took a little something from the HMA, and used a EMA with period of √n to smooth the entire the thing. The Trend condition at base is the following (but feel free to FAFO with it): Long = dema > dema yesterday and dema < src Short = dema < dema yesterday and dema > src Methodology While the DEMA is an amazing tool used in many great indicators, it can be far too noisy. This made me test out many filters, out of which the Gaussian performed best. Then I tried out the non subtractive approach and that worked too, as it made it smoother. Compacting on all I learned and smoothing it bit by bit, I think I can say this is worth looking into :). Use cases: Following Trends => classic, effective :) Smoothing sources for other indicators => if done well enough, could be useful :) Easy trend visualization => Added extra options for that. Strategy development => Yes Another good thing is it does not a high lookback period, so it should be better and less overfit. That is all for today Gs, Have fun and enjoy!

Range Opening (ADX)▶ OVERVIEW Range Opening (ADX) dynamically detects market opening ranges triggered by ADX (Average Directional Index) momentum shifts. Upon a user-defined ADX crossover or crossunder event, it builds a volume-based range box that tracks high and low prices over a fixed bar length and visualizes order flow pressure with delta volume and breakout buffer zones. ▶ RANGE TRIGGER VIA ADX CROSSOVER The range begins when ADX crosses a custom threshold, indicating a shift in trend strength: Users choose between ADX crossover or crossunder as the trigger. Once triggered, the indicator starts collecting price and volume data for the specified “Range Opening Length.” The ADX plot on the subchart is colored dynamically using a green-to-magenta gradient based on its strength. A small label marks the ADX crossover/crossunder event visually. ▶ RANGE DEVELOPMENT BOX While the range is forming: Price highs and lows over the defined period are collected and stored. A temporary gray box is drawn between the maximum high and minimum low, showing the developing range. At each bar, delta volume is updated: Positive if close > open Negative if close < open A total delta volume value is shown inside the developing box for real-time monitoring. ▶ RANGE COMPLETION & BREAKOUT LINES Once the range completes (after the defined bar count): The gray box is replaced with a finalized, color-coded range box. Color Logic: Green box if delta volume is positive (bullish bias) Magenta box if delta is negative (bearish bias) Two solid horizontal lines are drawn: Top line from the range high Bottom line from the range low Two dashed lines are added above and below the range using ATR-based buffers, acting as buffer zones. These lines extend until a new ADX trigger occurs, helping track future price interaction with the range. ▶ INFO PANEL & STATUS MONITORING A compact data table appears in the top-right corner, offering quick insight: ADX: Current value, color-coded to strength. Threshold: User-defined trigger level. Range Status: Shows a green diamond when range is still forming. Shows a magenta diamond after the range has completed. Tooltip updates to “Developing” or “Formatted” based on stage. ▶ USAGE Traders can use Range Opening (ADX) to: Identify periods of strength expansion and price consolidation using ADX signals. Track breakout potential and liquidity zones formed during opening-type setups. Monitor delta volume to gauge buying/selling bias inside short-term ranges. Use ATR buffer zones for breakout confirmation or fade setups. Visually mark where the most recent structured range was defined. ▶ CONCLUSION Range Opening (ADX) offers a systematic method to detect and monitor market ranges triggered by volatility surges. With real-time delta volume insight, persistent breakout levels, and ADX-driven logic, it serves as a versatile tool for both breakout traders and range strategists looking to capitalize on momentum-based setups.

Trend Pivot Retracements▶ OVERVIEW Trend Pivot Retracements identifies market trend direction using a Donchian-style channel and dynamically highlights retracement zones during trending conditions. It calculates the percentage pullbacks from recent highs and lows, plots labeled zones with varying intensity, and visually connects key retracement pivots. The indicator also emphasizes price proximity to trend boundaries by dynamically adjusting the thickness of plotted trend bands. ▶ TREND DETECTION & BAND STRUCTURE The indicator determines the current trend by checking for new 50-bar extremes: Uptrend: If a new highest high is made, the trend is considered bullish. Downtrend: If a new lowest low is made, the trend is considered bearish. Uptrend Band: Plots the 50-bar lowest low as a trailing support level. Downtrend Band: Plots the 50-bar highest high as a trailing resistance level. Thickness Variation: The thickness of the band increases the further price moves from it, indicating overextension. ▶ RETRACEMENT LABELING SYSTEM During a trend, the indicator monitors pivot points in the opposite direction to measure retracements: Bullish Retracement: Triggered when a pivot low forms during an uptrend. Measures % pullback from the most recent swing high (searched up to 20 bars back). Plots a bold horizontal line at the low and a dashed diagonal from the previous swing high. Adds a “-%” label above the low; intensity is based on recent 50 pullbacks. Bearish Retracement: Triggered when a pivot high forms during a downtrend. Measures % pullback from the previous swing low (up to 20 bars back). Plots a bold horizontal line at the high and a dashed diagonal from the prior swing low. Adds a “%” label below the high with gradient color based on the past 50 extremes. ▶ PIVOT CONNECTION LINES Each retracement includes a visual connector: A diagonal dashed line linking the swing extreme (20 bars back) to the retracement point. This line visually traces the path of price retreat within the trend. Helps traders understand where the retracement originated and how steep it was. ▶ TREND SWITCH SIGNALS When trend direction changes: A diamond marker is plotted on the new pivot confirming the trend shift. Green diamonds signal new bullish trends at fresh lows. Magenta diamonds signal new bearish trends at fresh highs. ▶ COLOR INTENSITY & CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS To help interpret the magnitude of retracements: The % labels are color-coded using a gradient scale that references the max of the last 50 pullbacks. Stronger pullbacks result in deeper color intensity, signaling more significant corrections. Trend bands also use standard deviation normalization to adjust line thickness based on how far price has moved from the band. This creates a visual cue for potential exhaustion or volatility extremes. ▶ USAGE Trend Pivot Retracements is a powerful tool for traders who want to: Identify trend direction and contextual pullbacks within those trends.

Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator by YCGH Capital🧭 Overview The Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator is a trend-following tool designed for chart trading. It combines Renko-style price movement logic (based on ATR) with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter to identify sustained bullish or bearish phases on any timeframe. It plots a color-coded trend line directly on the price chart — green for bullish trends, red for bearish — and maintains a single active state (no repeated buy/sell signals) until the opposite condition appears. ⚙️ How It Works 1️⃣ Renko ATR Engine Instead of using fixed box sizes like classic Renko charts, this indicator builds synthetic Renko movement based on ATR (Average True Range) of a chosen timeframe. It pulls OHLC data from your selected Renko Source Timeframe (for example, 60-minute candles). It calculates an ATR brick size — representing the minimum price move needed for a new Renko brick. When price moves by at least one ATR in the opposite direction, it flips the trend. This filters out small fluctuations and captures the underlying directional bias. 2️⃣ SMA Filter A Simple Moving Average (SMA) acts as a trend confirmation filter. Only when Renko direction aligns with the price relative to the SMA, a trend signal activates. BUY → Renko uptrend + price above SMA SELL → Renko downtrend + price below SMA 3️⃣ Stateful Signal Logic Unlike typical indicators that spam multiple buy/sell shapes: This version holds one persistent signal (Buy or Sell) The state continues until an opposite signal is confirmed No “continuation” arrows — clean and minimal trend visualization 🎨 Visuals Element Meaning 🟩 Green Renko Line Active Bullish Trend 🟥 Red Renko Line Active Bearish Trend ⚪ Gray Line Neutral / Waiting phase 🟡 Yellow Line SMA (trend filter) 📍 Label (Buy Active / Sell Active) Displays the current market bias 🔧 Inputs Input Description Renko Source Timeframe The timeframe from which Renko data is calculated (e.g., 60 = 1h candles). ATR Period Determines brick size sensitivity (lower = more responsive, higher = smoother). SMA Length Moving Average length used as a directional filter. 💡 How Traders Use It Trend Confirmation: Use green/red Renko line to stay aligned with the dominant market move. Entry Timing: Enter trades when a new Renko direction is confirmed along with SMA alignment. Exit or Reverse: Exit long when a red line (Sell Active) appears, and vice versa. Combine with Price Action: Add support/resistance or volume analysis for confirmation.
