DTCC RECAPS Dates 2020-2025This is a simple indicator which marks the RECAPS dates of the DTCC, during the periods of 2020 to 2025. These dates have marked clear settlement squeezes in the past, such as GME's squeeze of January 2021. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has published the 2025 schedule for its Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC). RECAPS is a monthly process for comparing and re-pricing eligible equities, municipals, corporate bonds, and Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) that have aged two business days or more . At its core, the Reconfirmation and Re-pricing Service (RECAPS) is a risk management tool used by the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), a subsidiary of the DTCC. Its primary purpose is to reduce the risks associated with aged, unsettled trades in the U.S. securities market . When a trade is executed, it is sent to the NSCC for clearing and settlement. However, for various reasons, some trades may not settle on their scheduled date and become "aged." These unsettled trades create risk for both the trading parties and the clearinghouse (NSCC) because the value of the underlying securities can change over time. If a trade fails to settle and one of the parties defaults, the NSCC may have to step in to complete the transaction at the current market price, which could result in a loss. RECAPS mitigates this risk by systematically re-pricing these aged, open trading obligations to the current market value. This process ensures that the financial obligations of the clearing members accurately reflect the present value of the securities, preventing the accumulation of significant, unmanaged market risk . Detailed Mechanics: How Does it Work? The RECAPS process revolves around two key dates you asked about: the RECAPS Date and the Settlement Date . The RECAPS Date: On this day, the NSCC runs a process to identify all eligible trades that have remained unsettled for two business days or more. These "aged" trades are then re-priced to the current market value. This re-pricing is not just a simple recalculation; it generates new settlement instructions. The original, unsettled trade is effectively cancelled and replaced with a new one at the current market price. This is done through the NSCC's Obligation Warehouse. The Settlement Date: This is typically the business day following the RECAPS date. On this date, the financial settlement of the re-priced trades occurs. The difference in value between the original trade price and the new, re-priced value is settled between the two trading parties. This "mark-to-market" adjustment is processed through the members' settlement accounts at the DTCC. Essentially, the process ensures that any gains or losses due to price changes in the underlying security are realized and settled periodically, rather than being deferred until the trade is ultimately settled or cancelled. Are These Dates Used to Check Margin Requirements? Yes, indirectly, this process is closely tied to managing margin and collateral requirements for NSCC members. Here’s how: The NSCC requires its members to post collateral to a clearing fund, which acts as a mutualized guarantee against defaults. The amount of collateral each member must provide is calculated based on their potential risk exposure to the clearinghouse. By re-pricing aged trades to current market values through RECAPS, the NSCC gets a more accurate picture of each member's outstanding obligations and, therefore, their current risk profile. If a member has a large number of unsettled trades that have moved against them in value, the re-pricing will crystallize that loss, which will be settled the next day. This regular re-pricing and settlement of aged trades prevent the build-up of large, unrealized losses that could increase a member's risk profile beyond what their posted collateral can cover. While RECAPS is not the only mechanism for calculating margin (the NSCC has a complex system for daily margin calls based on overall portfolio risk), it is a crucial component for managing the specific risk posed by aged, unsettled transactions. It ensures that the value of these obligations is kept current, which in turn helps ensure that collateral levels remain adequate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future dates of 2025: - November 12, 2025 (Wed) - November 25, 2025 (Tue) - December 11, 2025 (Thu) - December 29, 2025 (Mon) The dates for 2026 haven't been published yet at this time. The RECAPS process is essentially the industry's way of retrying the settlement of all unresolved FTDs, netting outstanding obligations, and gradually forcing resolution (either delivery or buy-in). Monitoring RECAPS cycles is one way to track the lifecycle, accumulation, and eventual resolution (or persistence) of failures to deliver in the U.S. market. The US Stock market has become a game of settlement dates and FTDs, therefore this can be useful to track.

Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific) Summary This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking. It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day. Who it’s for Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you. What it shows Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions. Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses. Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time. Key Features Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature. Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE"). Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on. Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off. Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually. Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high. Why this helps Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns. Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions. Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan. Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed. Quick setup Go to Timezone Settings. Decide how you want to enter times: Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times). Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin. Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes. Style the colors to match your chart theme.

Lateral Market DetectorOverview The Lateral Market Detector is a TradingView indicator designed to identify and highlight range-bound market conditions (sideways movement) where price oscillates between defined support and resistance levels with minimal overall movement. How It Works The indicator analyzes price action using a dynamic range detection algorithm: Range Calculation: Examines the last N candlesticks (default 50, adjustable 20-200) and calculates the difference between the highest high and lowest low within this period. Laterality Detection: Compares the calculated range against a configurable tolerance threshold (in pips). If the range is smaller than the tolerance, the market is identified as laterally moving. Confirmation Logic: Counts consecutive candlesticks that remain within the detected range. The indicator only confirms a lateral condition when the minimum number of consecutive candlesticks has been reached (default 15). Visual Representation: Once confirmed, displays a colored rectangle (box) spanning from the range's start point to the current bar, with horizontal dashed lines marking the high and low levels. Dynamic Update: Continuously updates the rectangle as new candlesticks form, adjusting the top and bottom boundaries if price remains within the lateral zone. Key Features Multi-Timeframe Optimization Automatic timeframe adaptation using square root scaling When enabled, parameters adjust proportionally based on the current timeframe (M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, D1, W1, MN) Prevents the need for manual parameter adjustments across different timeframes Formula: Adjusted_Tolerance = Base_Tolerance × √(Timeframe_Multiplier) Customizable Parameters Tolerance Pip (M1): Sets the maximum range width to identify laterality Minimum Candlesticks: Minimum consecutive candles required to confirm a lateral zone Candlesticks to Analyze: Lookback period for range calculation Breakout Sensitivity: Controls the threshold for identifying range breakouts Full Visual Customization Rectangle color and transparency High/Low line color and thickness Automatic status display showing current timeframe, lateral confirmation, and active parameters Use Cases Range Trading: Identify optimal entry and exit points at support/resistance Breakout Trading: Visual confirmation before entering breakout trades Trend Analysis: Distinguish between trending and consolidating markets Risk Management: Define clear stop-loss levels based on range boundaries Technical Specifications Indicator Type: Overlay Maximum Boxes: 100 (prevents performance degradation) Supported Assets: Forex, CFDs, Stocks, Cryptocurrencies Pine Script Version: v5 Chart Display: Real-time updates on each new candlestick

Swing High/Low (Adaptive)Swing High/Low (Adaptive) Overview The Indicator is a pivot point detection tool that identifies swing highs and lows with invalidation tracking. The key differentiator of this indicator is its adaptive invalidation system . Most pivot indicators simply mark every detected pivot without considering whether subsequent price action has made earlier pivots less relevant. How It Works The indicator uses Pine Script's native ta.pivotlow() and ta.pivothigh() functions combined with custom logic to detect swing points. The adaptive algorithm evaluates each potential pivot against the following criteria: For Low Pivots: Confirms a new low pivot when it's the next expected pivot type in the swing sequence If consecutive lows occur, only accepts a new low if it's lower than the previous low Marks the previous low as invalidated when a stronger low is detected For High Pivots: Confirms a new high pivot when it's the next expected pivot type in the swing sequence If consecutive highs occur, only accepts a new high if it's higher than the previous high Marks the previous high as invalidated when a stronger high is detected This approach ensures that the indicator maintains clean swing structure and automatically adjusts when price action creates stronger pivots, providing a more realistic view of support and resistance levels. Settings Pivot Settings: Left Bars : Number of bars to the left required for pivot confirmation (default: 5) Right Bars : Number of bars to the right required for pivot confirmation (default: 5) Pivot Display Settings: Toggle visibility for low and high pivots independently Customizable colors for valid pivot markers Low pivots marked with upward triangle (▲) High pivots marked with downward triangle (▼) Invalid Pivot Settings: Optional display of invalidated pivots Separate color customization for invalid low and high pivots Helps visualize where market structure expectations changed ZigZag Settings: Toggle ZigZag line display on/off Separate colors for upward and downward price swings Adjustable line width Use Cases 1. Market Structure Analysis Identify key swing points to understand the current market structure and trend direction. The adaptive invalidation feature ensures you're always looking at the most relevant pivots. 2. Support and Resistance Identification Use confirmed swing highs and lows as potential support and resistance levels for entry and exit planning. 3. Trend Confirmation The ZigZag visualization helps confirm trends by showing the sequence of higher highs and higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs and lower lows (downtrend). Disclaimer This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should thoroughly test any strategy before implementing it with real capital.

Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it? 🔶 1. Conceptual Overview The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator. Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range. In other words: It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?” It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended). 🔶 2. What the Script Does The indicator: Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility. Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100). Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range. Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones. Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion. 🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown (a) Inputs Input Description Default Notes atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view) (b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates: lookback = SMA(ATR,10) / SMA(Close,10) × 500 lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500 Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback. This makes the oscillator: More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback) More stable during calm markets (longer lookback) Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually. (c) High-Low Reference Points It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window. If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly). (d) Oscillator Core The main oscillator line: osc = ( close − low ) ( high − low ) × 100 osc= (high−low) (close−low) ​ ×100 0% = Price is at the lookback low. 100% = Price is at the lookback high. 50% = Midpoint (balanced). Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages. (e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference It overlays horizontal reference lines at: 0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100% These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space. You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator. (f) Alerts The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level. You can set TradingView alerts such as: “Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout. “Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting. This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels. 🔶 4. How to Use It 🔸 Visual Interpretation Oscillator Value Zone Market Context 0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal 23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase 38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure 50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone 61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area 78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking >100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion 🔸 Practical Application Steps Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart). Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands: Use it to determine retracement depth. Combine with structure tools: Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure. Use crossovers for timing: Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation. Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum. For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries. 🔶 5. When to Use It During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone. During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions. Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves. In Multi-Timeframe Contexts: LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion. HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones. 🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators. Below are optimal pairings: Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue 🔶 7. Understanding the Settings Setting Function Practical Impact ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping) Recommended Configs: For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50 For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100 🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use) Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8% Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI For Short Bias (Inverse Setup): Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs). Use the same thresholds inversely. 🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations ✅ Strengths Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart) Works well across all timeframes Compatible with both trending and ranging markets ⚠️ Limitations Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence 🔶 10. Summary The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic. It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum. Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.

This indicator helps traders identify critical price zones where reversals or breakouts are likely to occur, making it ideal for both intraday and swing trading strategies. 💡 Origin Story I got tired of manually drawing these lines that I learned from watching Wallstreet Trapper on Trappin Tuesdays YouTube live streams. After repeatedly marking the same previous timeframe levels on every chart, I decided to automate the process. Hope it helps you as much as it helps me! Key Features 📊 Multiple Timeframe Levels The indicator tracks and displays high/low levels from: Previous Hour (PHH/PHL) - Purple lines Previous Day (PDH/PDL) - Green lines Previous Week (PWH/PWL) - Yellow lines Previous Month (PMH/PML) - Blue lines All-Time High (ATH) - Red line 52-Week High - Orange line 🎨 Fully Customizable Colors - Change the color of each timeframe independently Line Styles - Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines Line Widths - Adjust thickness from 1-4 pixels All settings organized in intuitive groups for easy access 📍 Smart Line Extension Lines extend back to show when the level was established Lines project forward to show current relevance Historical context helps identify key support/resistance zones 🏷️ Clear Price Labels Each level displays its exact price value (no currency symbols) Labels positioned horizontally to avoid overlap Adaptive text color for visibility on any chart theme (dark or light mode) Why "Trappin"? The name is a tribute to Wallstreet Trapper and his Trappin Tuesdays YouTube live streams, where I learned the importance of marking previous timeframe levels. The name also reflects the indicator's purpose: identifying price levels where traders often get "trapped" - whether it's bulls getting trapped below resistance or bears getting trapped above support. These levels represent zones where significant order flow and liquidity exist, making them prime areas for reversals or breakouts.

Pullback Finder AutoPullback Finder Auto — Intraday Momentum Cooling Detector Pullback Finder Auto is designed to find stocks that have made a strong intraday run from the open and are now cooling off while still positive — the classic pullback zone where continuation entries often form. It automatically measures the percentage change from today’s open and highlights bars where: the stock has already run at least a chosen amount (for example +10 % above its open), and the current price is still up but within a defined pullback range (for example between +3 % and +8 % above the open). When those two conditions are met, you’ll see green graphics on your chart: Green triangle markers under the candle. Optionally, small green PB labels such as “PB 5.2 %” showing the exact percentage from open when the setup occurs. A green highlight in the sub‑window or line plot if you left the “Change from Open %” plot active. These are your visual cues that a pullback has formed — a stock that previously ran and is now pulling back while holding strength. How it works The script continuously monitors: • High % from Open = (high − open) / open × 100 • Current % from Open = (close − open) / open × 100 A “Pullback” condition triggers only if: the high % is greater than or equal to your minimum run threshold, and the current % sits between your minimum and maximum pullback percentages. When both are true, the indicator plots the green triangle and optional label. Default parameters Min Run % = 10 Min Current % = 3 Max Current % = 8 Session Start = 09:30 – 16:00 US Eastern All can be changed to fit different volatility levels. Lower values catch smaller moves; higher values restrict signals to explosive runners. Using it in real time During live trading, Pullback Finder Auto updates with each candle. When a bar first enters the target zone, a green triangle and PB label will appear immediately under that candle. These are dynamic: if price moves out of the valid zone on the same bar, the marker may disappear. You can create an alert on “Pullback Finder Auto – Pullback Candidate” to be notified whenever new triangles appear across your active symbols. This works on any timeframe: use shorter timeframes such as 1‑minute or 5‑minute charts for fast, intraday detection, use longer timeframes for a broader view of the day’s market structure. Using it on past data (scanning backwards) When you scroll back through history, past green triangles remain visible at every bar where the condition was true at that time. The PB labels next to those candles show exactly how far above the open the stock was trading during the historical setup. Use this for visual back‑testing: study how price reacted after these pullback points, adjust the thresholds, and refine your criteria for different markets. The grey or teal line under the chart (if enabled) shows the percent‑from‑open curve so you can see the full run‑and‑cool pattern leading into each triangle signal. If you convert the indicator into a strategy, the same condition becomes historical entry points you can test with the Strategy Tester. Summary 1. Pullback Finder Auto paints green triangles and PB labels whenever an intraday pullback fits your criteria. 2. It runs dynamically in real‑time and also preserves markers for historical review. 3. Adjust the thresholds to match volatility or timeframe. 4. Ideal for visual scanning, watchlist alerts, or integration into a lightweight screening strategy.

RSI Breakout Zones█ OVERVIEW “RSI Breakout Zones” is a technical analysis tool that identifies significant zones on the chart based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator maps overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) zones using boxes, then extends them until the next zone of the same type is detected, highlighting breakout points to aid in trade entry decisions. These zones often serve as areas of consolidation, support, or resistance. █ CONCEPTS The indicator identifies overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) zones, drawing boxes that extend until the next zone of the same type (OB for OB, OS for OS) is detected. Breakout signals are generated when the price crosses the zone boundaries, indicating potential shifts in market momentum. Why are RSI zones important? These zones represent areas of extreme market sentiment, often leading to corrections or reversals. Overbought zones suggest potential selling pressure, while oversold zones indicate buying opportunities. After a breakout, a zone may switch roles, e.g., from support to resistance or vice versa, making it a key element in price action analysis. Larger zones, formed during high volatility, may attract price for retests due to stronger imbalances in buyer/seller dynamics. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium before further moves. However, in strong trends, zones may be decisively broken without immediate pullbacks, and their significance depends on their position relative to key support and resistance levels. █ FEATURES - RSI Zone Detection: Calculates RSI with a customizable length (default 14) and identifies overbought/oversold zones based on user-defined levels (default 70/30), drawing boxes that dynamically adjust to price action within the zone. - Customizable Boxes: Zones extend until the next zone of the same type is detected. The indicator draws zones with adjustable colors for overbought (red) and oversold (green) areas, with options for box and zone transparency. - Breakout Signals: Generates upward (green triangle) and downward (red triangle) breakout signals when the price crosses the top or bottom of a zone. Signals appear below or above the bar, indicating potential trade entry points. - Midline: Automatically draws a dashed line at the midpoint of each zone, helping traders assess price behavior within the zone and potential halfway retests. - Box Management: Option to remove outdated boxes. - Alerts: Built-in support for alerts on breakout signals, enabling traders to receive notifications for key zone crossings. █ HOW TO USE Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu. Configure Settings: - RSI Settings: Adjust RSI Length (default 14), Overbought Level (default 70), and Oversold Level (default 30) to tailor zone detection sensitivity—higher lengths smooth signals for longer-term analysis. - Box Settings: Configure colors and transparency for overbought (red) and oversold (green) zones, including box transparency (default 90) and zone transparency (default 90). - Signal Settings: Customize breakout signal colors (green for upward, red for downward) and enable/disable keeping boxes after RSI normalization. Interpreting Signals: - Upward Breakout Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bullish momentum and trend continuation or reversal. - Downward Breakout Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bearish momentum. - RSI Zones: If the price re-enters a zone after a breakout, it may signal a false breakout or consolidation; persistent zones can act as future support/resistance levels. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium. - Use signals alongside other technical analysis tools for confirmation, such as moving averages (to confirm trend direction), Fibonacci levels (to identify key price zones), or volume indicators (to validate breakout strength). Analyze RSI zones on higher timeframes for stronger signals due to broader market context. █ APPLICATIONS - Momentum Trading: Use RSI zones as overbought/oversold filters. In an uptrend, look for buying opportunities on upward breakouts, and in a downtrend, on downward breakouts. Combining with MACD crossovers, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points enhances zone significance. - Inter-Zone Trading: Utilize breakouts from one RSI zone and hold the position until reaching the next zone, which may act as a target level or reversal point. █ NOTES - Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets (stocks, forex, crypto) to optimize RSI length and levels for your trading style. - For best results, use in trending markets where RSI extremes are more predictive; in ranging markets, additional filters are recommended to reduce false signals. - Always combine with risk management; RSI zones alone do not guarantee reversals, and false breakouts may occur in low-liquidity environments.

Metallic Retracement ToolI made a version of the Metallic Retracement script where instead of using automatic zig-zag detection, you get to place the points manually. When you add it to the chart, it prompts you to click on two points. These two points become your swing range, and the indicator calculates all the metallic retracement levels from there and plots them on your chart. You can drag the points around afterwards to adjust the range, or just add the indicator to the chart again to place a completely new set of points. The mathematical foundation is identical to the original Metallic Retracement indicator. You're still working with metallic means, which are the sequence of constants that generalize the golden ratio through the equation x² = kx + 1. When k equals 1, you get the golden ratio. When k equals 2, you get silver. Bronze is 3, and so on forever. Each metallic number generates its own set of retracement ratios by raising alpha to various negative powers, where alpha equals (k + sqrt(k² + 4)) / 2. The script algorithmically calculates these levels instead of hardcoding them, which means you can pick any metallic number you want and instantly get its complete retracement sequence. What's different here is the control. Automatic zig-zag detection is useful when you want the indicator to find swings for you, but sometimes you have a specific price range in mind that doesn't line up with what the zig-zag algorithm considers significant. Maybe you're analyzing a move that's still developing and hasn't triggered the zig-zag's reversal thresholds yet. Maybe you want to measure retracements from an arbitrary high to an arbitrary low that happened weeks apart with tons of noise in between. Manual placement lets you define exactly which two points matter for your analysis without fighting with sensitivity settings or waiting for confirmation. The interactive placement system uses TradingView's built-in drawing tools, so clicking the two points feels natural and works the same way as drawing a trendline or fibonacci retracement. First click sets your starting point, second click sets your ending point, and the indicator immediately calculates the range and draws all the metallic levels extending from whichever point you chose as the origin. If you picked a swing low and then a swing high, you get retracement levels projecting upward. If you went from high to low, they project downward. Moving the points after placement is as simple as grabbing one of them and dragging it to a new location. The retracement levels recalculate in real-time as you move the anchor points, which makes it easy to experiment with different range definitions and see how the levels shift. This is particularly useful when you're trying to figure out which swing points produce retracement levels that line up with other technical features like previous support or resistance zones. You can slide the points around until you find a configuration that makes sense for your analysis. Adding the indicator to the chart multiple times lets you compare different metallic means on the same price range, or analyze multiple ranges simultaneously with different metallic numbers. You could have golden ratio retracements on one major swing and silver ratio retracements on a smaller correction within that swing. Since each instance of the indicator is independent, you can mix and match metallic numbers and ranges however you want without one interfering with the other. The settings work the same way as the original script. You select which metallic number to use, control how many power ratios to display above and below the 1.0 level, and adjust how many complete retracement cycles you want drawn. The levels extend from your manually placed swing points just like they would from automatically detected pivots, showing you where price might react based on whichever metallic mean you've selected. What this version emphasizes is that retracement analysis is subjective in terms of which swing points you consider significant. Automatic detection algorithms make assumptions about what constitutes a meaningful reversal, but those assumptions don't always match your interpretation of the price action. By giving you manual control over point placement, this tool lets you apply metallic retracement concepts to exactly the price ranges you care about, without requiring those ranges to fit someone else's definition of a valid swing. You define the context, the indicator provides the mathematical framework.
