Liquidity Swings [Nix]Liquidity Swings Indicator!
It marks recent swing highs and lows on the chart using lines and labels.
Another great feature is that it tracks whether those swing levels are SWEPT (price crosses them again) and either:
Removes swept levels, or
Fades them to indicate they’ve been taken.
You can customize:
Number of swings shown.
Colors, styles, and visibility of lines/labels.
Whether to show highs, lows, or both.
Useful for liquidity analysis.
Usually when these special swings are swept, you can consider moving stops to BE. This is because there should be enough stop losses at the swing points to liquidate others and give more fuel to your trade direction!
Pivot Points
Fibonacci retracementHi all!
This indicator will show you the most recent Fibonacci retracement in the current trend. So if the trend is bullish the Fibonacci retracement will be drawn from swing low to high and from swing high to low in a bearish trend.
The uniqueness in this script lies in the adaptation to trend. To only plot the Fibonacci retracements according to the current market trend.
The trend is determined through break of structures (BOS) and change of characters (CHoCH). A change of character can be of type change of character plus (with a failed swing) and will then be shown as CHoCH+. This is possible through my library 'MarketStructure' (). It only uses break of structures and change of characters to be able to determine the trend, if you want a more detailed picture of the market structure you can use my script 'Market structure' ().
History and what to look for
Fibonacci retracement levels are used by many traders and are levels that are not Fibonacci sequence numbers themselves but they deriver from them. Some examples are:
23,6% - Divide a number by one three places ahead (e.g. 13/55)
38,2% - Divide a number by the one two places ahead (e.g. 21/55)
50% - Not from the Fibonacci sequence, but it's a number that price has reacted from in the past. Markets tend to retrace half a move before continuing
61,8% - The "golden retracement level". It derives from the "golden ratio" and is a core component of the Fibonacci sequence. The further you go in the Fibonacci sequence the preceding number divided by the current number will get closer and closer to this "golden ratio". This level is considered the most important Fibonacci retracement level by many traders
78,6% - Square root of 61.8%. This is often considered a deep correction (but not a trend reversal) and are often used for late entries
These levels are considered "key" and most significant. You want to look for a retracement of the price (down in a bullish trend and up in a bearish trend) to give you good entries.
Settings
For the trend you can set the pivot/swing lengths (right and left) and use the checkbox if you want these pivots to have labels. This can be done in the 'Market strucure' section.
In the 'Fibonacci retracement' section there is settings for the actual Fibonacci retracement. You can enable the trendline, set the color and the style of it. You can select which levels that should be shown by the indicator. There are 11 levels enabled by default, they are; 0-4.236. All settings in this section tries to be as similar to the "Fib Retracement" tool in Tradingview. You can also select the style of these lines (solid, dashed or dotted) and if you want them to extend to the right or not.
After this you can select if the Fibonacci retracement should be reversed or not, if prices should be displayed, if levels should be displayed and if to show the decimal levels or percentages and lastly the font size of these labels.
All defaults are based on the "Fib Retracement" tool by Tradingview.
Visualization
This indicator aims to be as visually similar to the default ("Fib Retracement") tool here on Tradingview. It will plot the Fibonacci retracement (called Auto Fibonacci/Auto fib) according to the trend from the library 'MarketStrucure'. The big differences from the "Fib Retracement" tool by Tradingview is that it's automatic (that adapts to trend), the market structure is visualized through lines and labels (showing 'BOS' for break of structures and 'CHoCH'/'CHoCH+' for change of characters) and that the labels showing information about the levels are positioned to be highly visible (left if <50% otherwise right if in a bullish trend, vice versa in a bearish trend or if reversed).
Don't hesitate if you have any feedback or nice feature suggestions!
Best of trading luck!
NY HIGH LOW BREAKNY HIGH LOW BREAK: A New York Session Breakout Strategy
The "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" indicator is a powerful TradingView script designed to identify and capitalize on breakout opportunities during the New York trading session. This strategy focuses on the initial price action of the New York market open, looking for clear breaches of the high or low established within the first 30 minutes. It's particularly suited for intraday traders who seek to capture momentum-driven moves.
Strategy Logic
The core of the "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" strategy revolves around these key components:
New York Session Opening Range Identification:
The script first identifies the opening range of the New York session. This is defined by the high and low prices established during the first 30 minutes of the New York trading session (from 7:01 AM GMT-4 to 7:31 AM GMT-4).
These crucial levels are then extended forward on the chart as horizontal lines, serving as potential support and resistance zones.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Long Signal: A buy signal is generated when the price breaks above the high of the New York opening range. Specifically, it looks for a candle whose open and close are both above the highLinePrice, and importantly, the previous candle's open was below and close was above the highLinePrice. This indicates a strong upward momentum confirming the breakout.
Short Signal: Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the price breaks below the low of the New York opening range. It looks for a candle whose open and close are both below the lowLinePrice, and the previous candle's open was above and close was below the lowLinePrice. This suggests strong downward momentum confirming the breakdown.
Supertrend Filter (Implicit/Future Enhancement):
While the supertrend and direction variables are present in the code, they are not actively used in the current signal generation logic. This suggests a potential future enhancement where the Supertrend indicator could be incorporated as a trend filter to confirm breakout directions, adding an extra layer of confluence to the signals. For example, only taking long breakouts when Supertrend indicates an uptrend, and short breakouts when Supertrend indicates a downtrend.
Second Candle Confirmation (Possible Future Enhancement):
The close_sec_candle function and openSEC, closeSEC variables indicate an attempt to capture the open and close of a "second candle" (30 minutes after the initial New York open). Currently, closeSEC is used in a specific condition for signal_way but not directly in the primary longSignal or shortSignal logic. This also suggests a potential future refinement where the price action of this second candle could be used for further confirmation or specific entry criteria.
Time-Based Filtering:
Signals are only considered valid within a specific trading window from 8:00 AM GMT-4 to 8:00 AM GMT-4 + 16 * 30 minutes (which is 480 minutes, or 8 hours) on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. This ensures that trades are taken during the most active and volatile periods of the New York session, avoiding late-session chop.
The script also highlights the New York session and lunch hours using background colors, providing visual context to the trading day.
Key Features
Automated New York Open Range Detection: The script automatically identifies and plots the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the New York trading session.
Clear Breakout Signals: Visually distinct "BUY" and "SELL" labels appear on the chart when a breakout occurs, making it easy to spot trading opportunities.
Timeframe Adaptability: While optimized for 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes for signal generation, the opening range lines can be displayed on various timeframes.
Customizable Risk-to-Reward (RR): The rr input allows users to define their preferred risk-to-reward ratio for potential trades, although it's not directly implemented in the current signal or trade management logic. This could be used by traders for manual trade management.
Visual Session and Lunch Highlights: The script colors the background to clearly delineate the New York trading session and the lunch break, helping traders understand the market context.
How to Use
Apply the Indicator: Add the "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" indicator to your chart on TradingView.
Select a Relevant Timeframe: For optimal signal generation, use 1-minute or 5-minute timeframes.
Observe the Opening Range: The green and red lines represent the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the New York session.
Look for Breakouts: Wait for price to decisively break above the green line (for a buy) or below the red line (for a sell).
Confirm Signals: The "BUY" or "SELL" labels will appear on the chart when the breakout conditions are met within the active trading window.
Implement Your Risk Management: Use your preferred risk management techniques, including stop-loss and take-profit levels, in conjunction with the signals generated. The rr input can guide your manual risk-to-reward calculations.
Potential Enhancements & Considerations
Supertrend Confirmation: Integrating the supertrend variable to filter signals would significantly enhance the strategy's robustness by aligning trades with the prevailing trend.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Automation: The rr input currently serves as a manual guide. Future versions could integrate automated stop-loss and take-profit placement based on this ratio, potentially using ATR for dynamic sizing.
Volume Confirmation: Adding a volume filter to confirm breakouts would ensure that only high-conviction moves are traded.
Backtesting and Optimization: Thorough backtesting across various assets and market conditions is crucial to determine the optimal settings and profitability of this strategy.
Session Times: The current session times are hardcoded. Making these user-definable inputs would allow for greater flexibility across different time zones and trading preferences.
The "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" is a straightforward yet effective strategy for capturing initial New York session momentum. By focusing on clear breakout levels, it aims to provide timely and actionable trading signals for intraday traders.
Initial Balance Wave MapThis indicator visualizes the Initial Balance (IB) range for any session, marking the first hour's high and low. It includes optional midpoints, extensions (e.g. 1.5x IB, 2x IB), and customizable time windows. Additional features allow users to display session open, high, low, close, and VWAP reference points. Designed to support price action and session structure analysis, it adapts to various global futures and FX market opens. All display elements are optional and fully configurable.

Fibonacci Retracement levels Automatically D/W/MIndicator Description: Fibonacci Retracement levels Automatically
Fibonacci retracement levels based on the day, week, month High Low range and Fibonacci retracement levels draws automatically .This Pine Script indicator is designed to plot Fibonacci retracement levels based on the high and low prices of a user-selected timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It identifies bullish or bearish candles in the chosen timeframe, draws key price levels, and overlays Fibonacci retracement lines and semi-transparent colored boxes to highlight potential support and resistance zones. The indicator dynamically updates with each new period and extends lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar for real-time visualization. Key Features
1. Timeframe Selection: Users can choose the timeframe for analysis: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly via an input dropdown. The indicator retrieves the open, high, low, and close prices for the selected timeframe using `request.security`.
2. High and Low Tracking : Tracks the highest high and lowest low within the selected timeframe. Stores these values and their corresponding bar indices in arrays (`whigh`, `wlow`, `whighIdx`,`wlowIdx`). Limits the array size to the most recent period to optimize performance.
3. Bullish and Bearish Candle Detection : Identifies whether the previous period’s candle is bullish (`close > open`) or bearish (`close < open`). Uses this to determine the direction for Fibonacci retracement calculations. Bullish candle: Fibonacci levels are drawn from low to high
Bearish candle: Fibonacci levels are drawn from high to low
4. Fibonacci Retracement Levels : Plots Fibonacci levels at 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786 between the high and low of the period. For bullish candles, levels are calculated from the low (support) to the high (resistance). For bearish candles, levels are calculated from the high (resistance) to the low (support). Each Fibonacci level is drawn as a horizontal line with a unique color:
- 0.236: Blue
- 0.382: Purple
- 0.5: Yellow
- 0.618: Teal
- 0.786: Fuchsia
5. Visual Elements: - High/Low Lines and Labels: Draws a red line and label for the previous period’s high. Draws a green line and label for the previous period’s low. Fibonacci Lines and Labels: Each Fibonacci level has a horizontal line and a label displaying the ratio.
Colored Boxes: Semi-transparent boxes are drawn between consecutive Fibonacci levels (including high and low) to highlight zones.
6. Dynamic Updates:
- At the start of a new period (e.g., new week for Weekly timeframe), the indicator:
- Clears previous Fibonacci lines, labels, and boxes.
- Recalculates the high and low for the new period.
- Redraws lines, labels, and boxes based on the new data.
- Extends all lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar index for real-time tracking.
7. Performance Optimization:
- Deletes old lines, labels, and boxes to prevent clutter.
- Limits the storage of highs and lows to the most recent period.
How It Works
1. Initialization: Defines variables for tracking bullish/bearish candles, lines, labels, and arrays for Fibonacci levels and boxes. Sets up color arrays for Fibonacci lines and boxes with distinct, semi-transparent colors.
2. Data Collection: Fetches the previous period’s OHLC (open, high, low, close) using `request.security`. Detects new periods (e.g., new week or month) using `ta.change(time(tf))`.
3. Fibonacci Calculation: On a new period, stores the high and low prices and their bar indices.
- Identifies the maximum high and minimum low from the stored data. - Calculates Fibonacci levels based on the range (`maxHigh - minLow`) and the direction (bullish or bearish).
4. Drawing:
- Draws high/low lines and labels at the identified price levels. Plots Fibonacci retracement lines and labels for each ratio. Creates semi-transparent boxes between Fibonacci levels to visually distinguish zones.
5. Updates:
- Extends all lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar index when a new period is detected. Clears old Fibonacci elements to avoid overlap and ensure clarity.
Usage
- Purpose: This indicator is useful for traders who use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential support and resistance zones in financial markets.
- Application:
- Select the desired timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) via the input settings.
- The indicator automatically plots the previous period’s high/low and Fibonacci levels on the chart.
- Use the labeled Fibonacci levels and colored boxes to identify key price zones for trading decisions.
- Customization:
- Modify the `timeframe` input to switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly analysis.
- Adjust the `fibLineColors` and `fibFillColors` arrays to change the visual appearance of lines and boxes.
- The indicator is designed for use on TradingView with Pine Script.
- The maximum array size for highs/lows is limited to 1 period in this version (can be adjusted by modifying the `array.shift` logic).
- The indicator dynamically updates with each new period, ensuring real-time relevance.

Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

MojoPivots Breakout Signals [DonnieMojo]The MojoPivots Breakout Indicator is a precision-engineered tool designed for traders seeking high-probability breakout opportunities using dynamic pivot structures and real-time volume imbalances.
Built on DonnieMojo’s breakout framework, this indicator analyzes market structure via custom MR (Major Resistance) and MS (Major Support) levels, dynamically derived from intraday volume profiles and statistical price expansion. It intelligently tracks and visualizes potential breakout zones, key "line-in-the-sand" levels, and take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on volatility-adjusted zones.
🔑 Core Features:
Breakout Signal Detection
Identifies potential bullish and bearish breakouts when price breaches predefined resistance (MR1) or support (MS1) levels with confirmation from volume dynamics.
Smart Take-Profit System
Targets are automatically mapped to MR2–MR4 and MS2–MS4, offering structured TP zones based on standard deviation thresholds.
Delta Zone Visuals
Color-coded fills display real-time buyer/seller dominance in each zone using an imbalance-weighted volume model.
VPOC "Sand Line"
The Volume Point of Control is plotted to show the session's key battle line for trend continuation or rejection.
Statistical Performance Panel
Live breakout stats with hit-rate bars (TP1/TP2/TP3) help you evaluate performance and adjust trade management.
🧪 Usage Tips:
Timeframe Sync: The default detection logic is based on 15-minute candles, but pivot zones are calculated from higher timeframes (2H by default). Adjust these in the settings to suit your strategy.
Entry Trigger: Wait for price to close below MS1 or above MR1 and breach it on the next bar to confirm a breakout signal.
TP Scaling: Use TP1 for conservative exits or scale out progressively at TP2 and TP3 for extended moves.
Volume Confirmation: Delta zone fills (green/red) help validate whether breakout levels are supported by buyer/seller strength — fade low-delta signals with caution.
Combine with Trend Filters: Enhance results by using MojoPivots alongside trend indicators like EMAs, ADX, or macro S/R.

Range Breakout [sgbpulse]Range Breakout
1. Overview
The "Range Breakout " indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and visually display price ranges on your chart using pivot points. It dynamically draws two distinct boxes – an External Range and an Internal Range – helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance zones. Beyond its visual representation, the indicator offers a comprehensive set of 12 unique breakout alerts, providing real-time notifications for significant price movements outside these defined ranges. Additionally, it integrates RSI and MFI metrics for momentum confirmation.
2. How It Works
The indicator operates by identifying pivot points based on user-defined "left" and "right" bar lengths. A high pivot is a bar with a specified number of lower highs both to its left and right, and similarly for a low pivot.
External Range: Calculated using longer pivot lengths (default: 15 bars left, 6 bars right). This range represents broader, more significant price consolidation areas.
Internal Range: Calculated using shorter pivot lengths (default: 4 bars left, 3 bars right). This range captures tighter, more immediate price consolidations within the broader trend.
The External Range will always be greater than or equal to the Internal Range, as it's based on a wider historical context. Both ranges are displayed as transparent boxes on your chart, dynamically adjusting as new pivots are formed.
3. Key Features and Settings
Customizable Pivot Lengths:
External Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for identifying the broader price range. Longer lengths lead to more stable, but less frequent, range updates.
Internal Range (Left/Right Bars): Adjust sensitivity for the tighter, more immediate price range.
Tool Tips: Minimum 6 bars for the External Range, and minimum 2 bars for the Internal Range.
Customizable Range Colors: Easily change the background colors of the External and Internal Range boxes to match your chart's aesthetic.
Dynamic Range Display: The indicator automatically updates the range boxes as new pivot highs and lows are formed, always presenting the most current valid ranges.
RSI / MFI Settings:
Timeframe Source: Select the timeframe for RSI and MFI calculation.
- Chart: Calculation based on the current chart timeframe.
- Daily: Always calculated based on the daily ("D") timeframe, even if the chart is on a lower timeframe.
RSI Length: Period length for RSI calculation (default: 14).
RSI Overbought Level: Overbought level for RSI (default: 70.0).
RSI Oversold Level: Oversold level for RSI (default: 30.0).
MFI Length: Period length for MFI calculation (default: 14).
MFI Overbought Level: Overbought level for MFI (default: 80.0).
MFI Oversold Level: Oversold level for MFI (default: 20.0).
4. Synergy of Ranges & Breakout Strength
The interaction between the External and Internal Ranges provides deep insights into price movement and breakout strength:
Immediate Direction: The movement of the Internal Range (up or down) indicates the short-term directional bias within the broader framework of the External Range.
Strength Confirmation: A breakout of the External Range, followed by a breakout of the Internal Range, confirms the strength of the move and increases confidence in the breakout.
Strong Momentum ("Leaving" Ranges Behind): When price breaks out with exceptionally strong momentum, it continues to move aggressively and does not immediately form new pivots. In such situations, the existing ranges (External and Internal) remain in place while the candles "leave them behind." A "Full Candle" breakout, where the entire candle moves past both ranges, indicates a particularly powerful and decisive move.
Momentum (RSI / MFI) as Confirmation:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements. Extreme values (above 70 or below 30) indicate overbought/oversold conditions respectively, confirming strong momentum in a breakout.
- MFI (Money Flow Index): Similar to RSI but incorporates volume. Extreme values (above 80 or below 20) indicate strong money flow in/out, reinforcing breakout confirmation.
- Importance of Confirmation: If a breakout occurs but momentum indicators do not confirm it (for example, an upside breakout while RSI is declining), this could signal weakness in the move and the risk of a false breakout (Fakeout).
5. Visuals
The indicator provides clear visual representations on the chart:
Range Boxes:
Two dynamic boxes are drawn on the chart: one for the External Range and one for the Internal Range.
These boxes update continuously, displaying the current range boundaries based on the latest pivots. They provide an immediate visual indication of support and resistance levels.
RSI/MFI Status Labels:
Small text labels appear to the right of the current bar, vertically centered.
They display the status of RSI and MFI: RSI OB (Overbought), RSI OS (Oversold), MFI OB, MFI OS, along with the exact value.
Important: The labels remain on the chart as long as the condition holds (indicator is above/below the level), unlike alerts which mark a singular crossover event.
Plotting of Key Values:
The indicator plots six invisible series on the chart, primarily to allow the user to view the exact numerical values of:
- The upper and lower bounds of the External Range (External High, External Low).
- The upper and lower bounds of the Internal Range (Internal High, Internal Low).
- The calculated RSI and MFI values (RSI, MFI).
These values are accessible for viewing through TradingView's Data Window and also via the Status Line when hovering over the relevant candle. This enables more precise quantitative analysis of range levels and momentum.
6. Comprehensive Breakout Alerts
The "Range Breakout " indicator provides 12 distinct alert conditions for breakouts, allowing you to select the required level of confirmation for each alert. All alerts are triggered only upon a fully confirmed bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) to minimize false signals and ensure reliability.
All breakout alerts are configured to detect a Crossover/Crossunder of the levels, meaning a specific event where the price moves from one side of the range to the other.
External Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (min of open/close prices) closes above the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the lowest point of the candle) closes above the External Range.
External Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the External Range.
- Real Body: The entire "real body" of the candle (max of open/close prices) closes below the External Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle (the highest point of the candle) closes below the External Range.
Internal Range Breakout UP
- Close: Price closes above the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes above the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes above the Internal Range.
Internal Range Breakout DOWN
- Close: Price closes below the Internal Range.
- Real Body: The "real body" of the candle closes below the Internal Range.
- Full Candle: The entire candle closes below the Internal Range.
7. Ideal Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to clearly identify and monitor price consolidation zones.
Seek confirmation for breakout strategies across various timeframes.
Require reliable and automated alerts for potential entry or exit points based on range expansion.
8. Complementary Indicator
For even more comprehensive market analysis, we highly recommend using this indicator in conjunction with Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS .
This powerful complementary indicator automatically and accurately identifies significant support and resistance levels by locating high and low pivot points, as well as key Pre-Market High/Low levels. Its strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and asset, providing precise and relevant real-time levels while maintaining a clean chart. It also identifies Break of Structure (BoS) to signal potential trend changes or continuations.
Using both indicators together provides a robust framework for identifying defined ranges and potential trend shifts, enabling more informed trading decisions.

db/dt [keypoems]Double Top / Double Bottom Marker
This indicator identifies classic double bottom/double top reversal patterns using pivot point analysis and breakout confirmation methodology, it also marks pivot based market structure shifts or flips.
WHAT IT DOES
The indicator detects two primary types of trading patterns:
1. Double Bottom/Top Patterns: Recognizes classic reversal formations where price creates two similar highs or lows before breaking the neckline
2. Market Structure Shifts (Flips): Identifies when price breaks through significant pivot levels indicating a potential trend change
HOW IT WORKS
Double Pattern Detection:
For double bottoms, the system identifies the first pivot low, then tracks the highest point between potential lows to establish the neckline level. It searches for a second pivot low within the specified price tolerance percentage of the first low. The pattern confirms when price breaks above the neckline. Double tops use the same logic but inverted, tracking the lowest point for the neckline and confirming on downward breaks.
Pattern Invalidation:
Double patterns are automatically invalidated if price creates new extremes beyond both pivot points before neckline confirmation occurs.
Flip Detection:
The algorithm uses a three-step process for each direction. For bullish shifts, it first identifies a pivot high using the specified left/right bar length parameters. It then waits for a subsequent pivot low that occurs after the pivot high. Finally, it confirms the shift when price closes above the original pivot high level. The bearish detection works inversely, starting with a pivot low, followed by a pivot high, and confirmed when price closes below the original pivot low.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
General Settings:
- Pivot High/Low Length: Controls the number of bars required on each side of a pivot point for validation
- Start Bar Index: Sets how many bars from the beginning of data to start pattern detection
- Time Filter: Optional start time to limit detection to specific periods
Double Pattern Settings:
- Separate pivot length controls for each pattern type
- Price Tolerance: Maximum percentage difference allowed between the two pivot points to qualify as a double pattern (0.1% to 20%)
- Individual start bar settings for each pattern type
Visual Controls:
- Toggle display for bullish flips, bearish flips, double bottoms, and double tops
- Optional text labels for each pattern type
- Sweep/Mitigation classification labels that distinguish between patterns where the second pivot sweeps beyond the first versus those that hold within tolerance
VISUAL PRESENTATION
Market structure shifts display as triangular markers above or below price with connecting lines that extend from the original pivot point to the breakout confirmation bar. Double patterns appear as rectangular boxes that encompass both pivot points with pattern type labels. The boxes automatically size themselves based on the price range and bar spacing of the pattern.
Color coding uses green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals, blue for double bottoms, and orange for double tops. All visual elements can be individually enabled or disabled based on trading preferences.
UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
This indicator applies market structure theory which suggests that trend changes are often preceded by breaks of significant swing points. The double pattern recognition is based on classical technical analysis principles where price creates similar levels twice before reversing direction, indicating exhaustion of the prevailing trend.
The pivot point methodology ensures that only statistically significant highs and lows are considered, filtering out minor fluctuations that might create false signals. The confirmation requirement prevents premature signals during consolidation phases.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Market structure shifts help identify potential trend changes early in their development. Double patterns provide high-probability reversal setups with clear entry levels at neckline breaks and logical stop placements beyond the pattern extremes.
The price tolerance setting allows adaptation to different market volatility conditions. Tighter tolerances work better in stable markets while looser tolerances accommodate more volatile instruments.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator works best in trending markets and may produce less reliable signals during extended sideways consolidation periods. The pivot-based approach means signals occur with some delay after actual market turns, as confirmation requires subsequent price action.
Users should be aware that the indicator plots historical patterns and breakout confirmations. Real-time trading decisions should account for the lag inherent in pivot point calculation and pattern completion requirements.
The effectiveness of detected patterns may vary significantly across different timeframes, market conditions, and instrument types. Combining these signals with additional analysis methods and proper risk management is recommended for practical trading applications.
Double pattern detection requires sufficient price history and bar spacing to properly identify and validate formations. Very short timeframes or instruments with limited volatility may not generate frequent pattern signals.
All pattern recognition is based on historical price data and does not guarantee future performance. Market conditions, fundamental factors, and external events can invalidate technical patterns regardless of their historical reliability.
Multi-Timeframe PivotDescription:
This script provides an advanced tool for multi-timeframe pivot point
analysis. It identifies swing points based on a candle's relationship to
its neighbors. The default strength settings of 1 align with the Inner
Circle Trader (ICT) concept of market structure.
The ICT concept defines a swing point based on a simple 3-candle pattern:
- A swing high is a candle where the candles to the immediate left and right
both have lower highs.
- A swing low is a candle where the candles to the immediate left and right
both have higher lows.
A key feature is its ability to accurately calculate and translate pivot
points from up to five higher timeframes (HTFs) and display them
precisely on a lower timeframe (LTF) chart.
NOTE: This indicator is designed to show HTF data on an LTF chart.
If you select a timeframe in the settings that is lower than your
current chart's timeframe, it will show pivots for the chart's
timeframe instead.
Core Features:
- Up to five independent higher timeframes.
- Per-timeframe customization for pivot strength (left/right bars) and color.
- Optional "Watchlines" that project the price of each pivot forward,
complete with a text label identifying the timeframe.
- An optional "Alignment Model" that colors the background when price is
aligned across all active timeframes (requires at least 2 TFs to be enabled).
Default State:
For a clean initial application, the Watchlines and Alignment Model features
are disabled by default but can be enabled in the settings.
BTC-OTHERS Liquidity PivotBTC-OTHERS Liquidity Map – 1-hour Multi-Asset Pivot Scanner
WHAT IT DOES
This script tracks liquidity shifts between Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader alt-coin market (the OTHERS market-cap index that excludes the top-10 coins). It labels every confirmed 1-hour swing high or low on both assets, then flags four states:
BearPivot – BTC prints a new swing High while OTHERS does not; liquidity crowds into BTC and alts are weak.
BullPivot – BTC prints a swing Low and OTHERS forms a Higher Low; fresh liquidity starts flowing into stronger alts.
BearCon – BTC prints a swing Low and OTHERS forms a Lower Low; down-trend continuation.
BullCon – No new BTC Low while OTHERS makes a Higher High; up-trend continuation.
Signals appear on the actual pivot bar (offset back by the look-back length), so they never repaint after confirmation.
HOW THE PIVOTS ARE FOUND
• Symmetrical window: “Pivot Len” bars to the left and right (default 21).
• Full confirmation on both sides delivers stable, non-repainting pivots at the cost of about Pivot Len bars’ delay.
• Labels are offset –Pivot Len so they sit on the genuine extreme.
INPUTS
Symbols: BTC symbol and an OTHERS symbol so you can switch exchanges or choose another alt index.
Pivot Len: tighten for faster but noisier signals; widen for cleaner pivots.
Style: customise shape and text colours.
PLOTS AND ALERTS
Four labelled shapes (BearPivot, BullPivot, BearCon, BullCon) plot above or below price. Each label is linked to an alertcondition, so you can create one-click alerts and stay informed without watching the screen.
TYPICAL WORKFLOW
1. Attach the script to any 1-hour BTC chart (or leave the script’s timeframe empty to follow your current chart TF).
2. Turn on alerts to receive push/email notifications.
3. Use the labels as a liquidity compass, combining them with volume, funding or your own strategy for actual entries and exits.
Enjoy and trade safe.
Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.

Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS [sgbpulse]Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS
Overview: Smart & Fast Market Structure Analysis
The Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " indicator is designed to empower your technical analysis by automatically and precisely identifying significant support and resistance levels. It achieves this by pinpointing high and low Pivot Points, plus key Pre-Market High/Low levels.
Its unique strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and any asset you choose. This tool analyzes the relevant market structure for the current timeframe and asset, providing you with accurate and relevant levels in real-time. The indicator maintains a clean chart and swiftly displays all support, resistance, and Pre-Market levels for any asset, saving valuable analysis time and enabling you to get a clear and quick snapshot of the market.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator identifies and displays three critical types of key levels:
External Pivots: These are more significant pivot points, indicating important reversal points across a broader range of price movement, considering the current timeframe. The indicator draws dark green support lines (for low pivots) and dark red resistance lines (for high pivots) from these points.
Internal Pivots: These are shorter-term pivot points, signifying smaller corrections or reversals within the overall structure of the current timeframe. These lines provide additional areas of interest within the ranges of the External Pivots.
Pre-Market High/Low Levels: The indicator displays the High and Low reached during pre-market hours as distinct lines on the chart. Please note: These levels will only appear when the selected timeframe is lower than one day (e.g., 1-hour, 15-minute) and provided that the "Session extended trading hours" option is enabled in your TradingView chart settings. These levels are crucial for identifying potential opening ranges and critical support/resistance areas upon regular market open, especially for intraday trading.
Break of Structure (BoS) Identification
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to identify Break of Structure (BoS). When a support or resistance line is breached, the indicator changes the line's color to gray and displays a "Break of Structure" label, indicating a potential trend change or continuation:
External BoS: When an external support/resistance line is broken, a "BoS" label in red will appear. This is a strong signal for a potential shift in the primary market structure or a strong trend continuation.
Internal BoS: When an internal support/resistance line is broken, an "iBoS" label in green will appear. This indicates a break within the existing market structure, which can be used to confirm direction or identify shorter-term entry/exit opportunities.
Full Indicator Customization
The indicator provides maximum flexibility to suit any trading style and timeframe:
Number of Lines Displayed: You can choose how many support and resistance lines you want to see on your chart. The default is 15 lines, but you can increase or decrease this number according to your needs and desired level of detail.
External Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for External Pivot identification.
Internal Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for Internal Pivot identification.
Color Customization: Full control over colors! You can change the colors of the support and resistance lines, the colors of the Pre-Market levels, and also the colors of the BoS and iBoS labels to create a visual appearance that perfectly matches your personal preferences.
This flexibility allows you to adapt the indicator to your trading style and any timeframe you operate in, without needing to manually change settings each time.
Recommended Uses
Clean Chart & Quick Analysis: The indicator displays important levels clearly, enabling quick identification of areas of interest without visual clutter on the chart. This significantly saves analysis time and allows you to make faster decisions.
Critical Levels for Any Timeframe & Asset: Get precise and adaptive support and resistance, plus essential Pre-Market levels (in relevant timeframes), for any timeframe and on any asset you choose.
Trend Direction Identification: Clear support and resistance lines help understand market structure.
Breakout Confirmation: The BoS label provides visual confirmation of key level breaches, helping to confirm potential trend changes.
Locating Entry & Exit Points: Use these levels as potential areas of interest for trades, after confirming a breakout or reversal.
Finding Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Points: Strategically place protective stops and profit targets around these support and resistance levels.
Important Note
Like any technical indicator, Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " is a supplementary tool. It's highly recommended to use it in conjunction with additional analysis methods (such as price action analysis, other indicators, and fundamental analysis) for informed trading decisions. Financial markets are dynamic, and trading always carries inherent risk.
MTF Pivot Fib Speed Resistance FansOverview
This Pine Script indicator, titled "MTF Pivot Fib Speed Resistance Fans", is a multi-timeframe tool that automatically plots Fib Speed Resistance Fan lines based on pivot structures derived from higher timeframes. It mirrors the functionality of TradingView’s built-in “Fib Speed Resistance Fan” drawing tool, but in a dynamic, programmatic way. It uses pivot highs and lows to anchor fan projections, drawing forward-facing trend lines that align with well-known Fibonacci ratios and their extensions.
Pivot Detection Logic
The script identifies pivots by comparing the current bar’s high and low against the highest and lowest prices over a user-defined pivot period. This pivot detection occurs on a higher timeframe of your choice, giving a broader and more strategic view of price structure. The script tracks direction changes in the pivot trend and stores only the most recent few pivots to maintain clean and meaningful fan drawings.
Fan Direction Control
The user can select whether to draw fans for "Buys", "Sells", or "Both". The script only draws fan lines when a new directional move is detected based on the pivot structure and the selected bias. For example, in “Buys” mode, a rising pivot followed by another higher low will trigger upward fan projections.
Fib Speed Resistance Levels
Once two pivots are identified, the script draws multiple fan lines from the first pivot outward, at angles defined by a preset list of Fibonacci levels. These fan lines help visualize speed and strength of a price move.
The script also draws a horizontal line from the pivot for additional confluence at the base level (1.0).
Price Level Plotting
In addition to drawing fan lines, the indicator also plots their price levels on the right-hand price scale. This makes it easier for users to visually reference the projected support and resistance levels without needing to trace the lines manually across the chart.
Mapping to TradingView’s "Fib Speed Resistance Fan"
The expanded set of values used in this script is not arbitrary—they closely align with the default and extended levels available in TradingView's built-in "Fib Speed Resistance Fan" tool.
TradingView’s Fib Fan tool offers several levels by default, including traditional Fibonacci ratios like 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 1. However, if you right-click the tool and open its settings, you’ll find additional toggles for levels like 1.618, 2.000, 2.618, and even 4.000. These deeper levels are used to project stronger trend continuations beyond the standard retracement zones.
The inclusion of levels such as 0.25, 0.75, and 1.34 reflects configurations that are available when you manually add or customize levels in TradingView’s fan tool. While 1.34 is not a canonical Fibonacci ratio, it is often found in hybrid Gann/Fib methods and is included in some preset templates in TradingView’s drawing tool for advanced users.
By incorporating these levels directly into the Pine Script, the indicator faithfully reproduces the fan structure users would manually draw using TradingView’s graphical Fib Fan tool—but does so programmatically, dynamically, and with multi-timeframe control. This eliminates manual errors, allows for responsive updating, and adds custom visual tracking via the price scale.
These values are standardized within the context of TradingView's Fib Fan tool and not made up. This script automates what the manual drawing tool achieves, with added precision and flexibility.
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.

Trapper Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)This script is designed to visually identify price action market structure in real time using pivot-based logic. It highlights the key components of trend direction by labeling:
- **HH** – Higher Highs
- **HL** – Higher Lows
- **LH** – Lower Highs
- **LL** – Lower Lows
These labels help traders track evolving market conditions and spot trend continuations, breaks in structure, or potential reversals — all without guessing.
**How It Works**
The script detects local swing highs and lows based on a customizable pivot strength. Once a valid pivot is confirmed, it’s classified in context with the previous relevant pivot to determine its structural significance.
For example:
- If a pivot high is higher than the previous, it’s marked as a **HH**.
- If a pivot low is lower than the previous, it’s marked as a **LL**, and so on.
This running analysis helps traders anticipate shifts between bullish and bearish structures.
**Customizable Features**
- Adjust **Pivot Strength** to increase or reduce sensitivity (more reactive or more stable)
- Toggle **Labels** on/off for cleaner charts
- Toggle **Connecting Lines** between pivots to visualize structure flow
**Use Case**
This indicator is ideal for:
- Price action traders
- Market structure analysis
- Identifying entry zones during pullbacks (e.g., buying at HLs during uptrends)
- Confirming trend reversals or break-of-structure (BoS)
You can use this tool as a foundation for more advanced systems such as CHoCH/BOS detection, liquidity zones, or sniper-style entry frameworks.
**Concepts Used**
- Swing High/Low detection using `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`
- Market structure labeling logic
- Visual flow to reinforce trader psychology on trend states

Auto-Trend Finder (Pivot + ADX)Inspired in part by LuxAlgo Trendlines with Breaks. Extended and enhanced for directional clarity and pivot-based precision.
🔍 What It Does
The Auto-Trend Finder (Pivot + ADX) is a smart trend-detection toolkit that combines:
Pivot-based swing detection (HH, HL, LH, LL)
ADX-filtered trendline projections
Custom slope estimation using ATR, Standard Deviation, Linear Regression, or a blended approach
Candlestick pattern detection for added confirmation (e.g., hammer, engulfing, shooting star)
📈 How It Works
1. Swing Detection
Uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow to mark major price turning points.
Labels pivots as Higher High (HH), Lower High (LH), Lower Low (LL), or Higher Low (HL).
Optionally overlays basic candle pattern names for visual context.
2. Trendline Logic
Connects successive pivot highs/lows with real-time trendlines.
Draws separate Uptrend and Downtrend lines with distinct colors.
3. Extended Projections
Projects extended dashed lines from the last pivot using slope formulas:
ATR-based (volatility)
Stdev-based (dispersion)
Linear Regression (trend best-fit)
Or a Combined slope using user-defined weights.
Color changes dynamically on breakout to visually signal momentum shifts.
4. ADX Trend Strength Filter
Optional ADX filter disables trendline updates unless directional strength exceeds a threshold (e.g. 20+).
Helps remove noise in sideways markets.
⚠️ Important Notes
Backpainting Warning: This script includes a backpainting setting (backpaint) that may cause lines to appear "reliably predictive" in historical data. Backpainting does not repaint once the pivot is confirmed, but it still reflects a post-fact state. Use this feature cautiously in live trading decisions.
Reused Code Attribution: Extended trendline concept and breakout color logic were inspired by publicly available open-source versions of LuxAlgo's trendline logic. Credit is given in the script comments and here as required.
🛠️ How to Use It
Adjust Pivot Length for swing detection sensitivity.
Toggle ADX filtering on or off to avoid choppy signals.
Choose your preferred Slope Calculation Method.
Use candlestick labels as potential entry signals near trendline retests or breaks.
✅ Why This Is More Than a Mashup
This tool integrates several separate technical methods into one cohesive, customizable framework:
It’s not just combining indicators, it’s engineering synergy between them.
The slope and ADX filtering mechanics dynamically adjust to trend strength.
Candlestick confirmation and labeling give visual, real-time trade confidence.
It enhances open-source logic by adding modular slope options, ADX gating, pattern labeling, and user control.
"Know the structure. Follow the strength. Trade with clarity. Auto-Trend Finder is your edge in the chaos."

Multi-Session ORBThe Multi-Session ORB Indicator is a customizable Pine Script (version 6) tool designed for TradingView to plot Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It allows traders to define specific ORB durations and session times in Central Daylight Time (CDT), making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. Customizable ORB Duration: Users can set the ORB duration (default: 15 minutes) via the inputMax parameter, determining the time window for calculating the high and low of each session’s opening range.
2. Flexible Session Times: The indicator supports user-defined session and ORB times for:
◦ Sydney: Default ORB (17:00–17:15 CDT), Session (17:00–01:00 CDT)
◦ Tokyo: Default ORB (19:00–19:15 CDT), Session (19:00–04:00 CDT)
◦ London: Default ORB (02:00–02:15 CDT), Session (02:00–11:00 CDT)
◦ New York: Default ORB (08:30–08:45 CDT), Session (08:30–16:00 CDT)
3. Session-Specific ORB Levels: For each session, the indicator calculates and tracks the high and low prices during the specified ORB period. These levels are updated dynamically if new highs or lows occur within the ORB timeframe.
4. Visual Representation:
◦ ORB high and low lines are plotted only during their respective session times, ensuring clarity.
◦ Each session’s lines are color-coded for easy identification:
▪ Sydney: Light Yellow (high), Dark Yellow (low)
▪ Tokyo: Light Pink (high), Dark Pink (low)
▪ London: Light Blue (high), Dark Blue (low)
▪ New York: Light Purple (high), Dark Purple (low)
◦ Lines are drawn with a linewidth of 2 and disappear when the session ends or if the timeframe is not intraday (or exceeds the ORB duration).
5. Intraday Compatibility: The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts) and only displays when the chart’s timeframe multiplier is less than or equal to the ORB duration.
How It Works:
• Session Detection: The script uses the time() function to check if the current bar falls within the user-defined ORB or session time windows, accounting for all days of the week.
• ORB Logic: At the start of each session’s ORB period, the script initializes the high and low based on the first bar’s prices. It then updates these levels if subsequent bars within the ORB period exceed the current high or fall below the current low.
• Plotting: ORB levels are plotted as horizontal lines during the respective session, with visibility controlled to avoid clutter outside session times or on incompatible timeframes.
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to identify key breakout levels for each trading session, facilitating strategies based on price action around the opening range. The flexibility to adjust ORB and session times makes it suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, or futures) and time zones.

Retail Pain Index (RPIx) (RPIx) Retail Pain Index (DAFE)
See the Market’s Pain. Trade the Edge.
The Retail Pain Index (RPIx) is a next-generation volatility and sentiment tool designed to reveal the hidden moments when retail traders are most likely being squeezed, stopped out, or forced to capitulate. This is not just another oscillator—it’s a behavioral market scanner that quantifies “pain” as price rips away from the average entry zone, often marking the fuel for the next big move.
Why is RPIx so Unique?
Behavioral Volatility Engine:
RPIx doesn’t just track price or volume. It measures how far price is moving away from where the crowd has recently entered (using a rolling VWAP average), then normalizes this “distance” into a Z-score. The result? You see when the market is inflicting maximum pain on the most participants.
Dynamic, Intuitive Coloring:
The main RPIx line is purple in normal conditions, but instantly turns red when pain is extreme to the upside (+2.00 or higher) and green when pain is extreme to the downside (-2.00 or lower). This makes it visually obvious when the market is entering a “max pain” regime.
Threshold Lines for Clarity:
Dashed red and green lines at +2.00 and -2.00 Z-score levels make it easy to spot rare, high-pain events at a glance.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard: A compact, toggleable panel in the top right of the indicator pane shows the current Z-score, threshold, and status—perfect for desktop users who want a quick read on market stress.
Info Line: For mobile or minimalist traders, a single-line info label gives you the essentials without cluttering your screen.
Inputs & Customization
Entry Cluster Lookback: Adjusts how many bars are used to calculate the “entry zone” (VWAP average). A higher value smooths the signal, a lower value makes it more responsive.
Pain Z-Score Threshold:
Sets the sensitivity for what counts as “extreme pain.” Default is ±2.00, but you can fine-tune this to match your asset’s volatility or your own risk appetite.
Show Dashboard / Show Compact Info Label:
Toggle these features on or off to fit your workflow and screen size.
How to utilize RPIx's awesomeness:
Extreme Readings = Opportunity:
When RPIx spikes above +2.00 (red) or below -2.00 (green), the market is likely running stops, liquidating weak hands, or forcing retail traders to capitulate. These moments often precede sharp reversals, trend accelerations, or volatility expansions.
Combine with Price Action:
Use RPIx as a confirmation tool for your existing strategy, or as a standalone alert for “pain points” where the crowd is most vulnerable.
Visual Edge:
The color-coded line and threshold levels make it easy to spot regime shifts and rare events—no more squinting at numbers or guessing when the market is about to snap.
Why RPIx?
Works on Any Asset, Any Timeframe:
Stocks, futures, crypto, forex—if there’s a crowd, there’s pain, and RPIx will find it.
Behavioral Alpha:
Most indicators lag. RPIx quantifies the psychological stress in the market, giving you a real-time edge over the herd.
Customizable, Clean, and Powerful:
Designed for both power users and mobile traders, with toggles for every workflow.
See the pain. Trade the edge.
Retail Pain Index: Because the market’s next move is written in the crowd’s discomfort.
