Alans Date Range CalculatorOverview
Setting a date range for backtesting enables you to evaluate your trading strategy under various market conditions. Traders can test a strategy’s performance during specific periods, such as economic downturns, bull markets, or periods of high volatility. This helps assess the trading strategy’s robustness and adaptability across different scenarios.
Specifying years of data instead of just inputting specific start and end dates offers several advantages:
1. **Consistency**: Using a fixed number of years ensures that the testing period is consistent across different strategies or iterations. This makes it easier to compare performance metrics and draw meaningful conclusions.
2. **Flexibility**: Specifying years allows for automatic adjustment of the start date based on the current date or selected end date. This is particularly useful when new data becomes available or when testing on different assets with varying historical data lengths.
3. **Efficiency**: It simplifies updating and retesting strategies. Instead of recalculating specific start dates each time, traders can quickly adjust the number of years to process, making it easier to test strategies over different timeframes.
4. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Broader timeframes defined by years help you evaluate how your strategy performs over multiple market cycles, providing insights into long-term viability and potential weaknesses.
Defining a date range by specifying years allows for more thorough and systematic backtesting, helping traders develop more reliable and effective trading systems.
Alan's Date Range Calculator: A TradingView Pine Script Indicator
Purpose
This Pine Script indicator calculates and displays a date range for backtesting trading strategies. It allows users to specify the number of years to analyze and an end date, then calculates the corresponding start date. Most importantly, users can copy the inputs and function into their own strategies to quickly add a time span feature for backtesting.
Key Features
User-defined input for the number of years to analyze
Customizable end date with a calendar input
Automatic calculation of the start date
Visual display of both start and end dates on the chart
How It Works
User Inputs
Years of Data to Process: An integer input allowing users to specify the number of years for analysis (default: 20, range: 1-100)
End Date: A calendar input for selecting the end date of the analysis period (default: December 31, 2024)
Date Calculation
The script uses a custom function calcStartDate() to determine the start date. It subtracts the specified number of years from the end date's year and sets the start date to January 1st of that year.
Visual Output
The indicator displays two labels on the chart:
Start Date Label: Shows the calculated start date
End Date Label: Displays the user-specified end date
Both labels are positioned horizontally at the bottom of the chart, with the end date label to the right of the start date label.
Applications
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Define specific date ranges for backtesting strategies

NUTJP CDC ActionZone 20241. Core Components of the Strategy
• Fast EMA and Slow EMA:
• The Fast EMA (shorter period) is more reactive to recent price changes.
• The Slow EMA (longer period) reacts slower and provides a smoother view of the overall trend.
• Relationship Between Fast EMA and Slow EMA:
• When the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, the market is considered Bullish.
• When the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA, the market is considered Bearish.
2. Zones Based on Price and EMAs
The strategy defines six zones based on the position of the price, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA:
1. Green Zone (Buy):
• Bullish trend (Fast EMA > Slow EMA)
• Price is above the Fast EMA.
• Indicates a strong uptrend and suggests buying.
2. Blue and Light Blue Zones (Pre-Buy):
• Price is above the Fast EMA but below or near the Slow EMA.
• Represents potential bullish signals but not strong enough to trigger a buy.
3. Red Zone (Sell):
• Bearish trend (Fast EMA < Slow EMA)
• Price is below the Fast EMA.
• Indicates a strong downtrend and suggests selling or avoiding long trades.
4. Orange and Yellow Zones (Pre-Sell):
• Price is below the Fast EMA but above or near the Slow EMA.
• Represents potential bearish signals but not strong enough to trigger a sell.
These zones help traders visualize the market conditions and determine whether to buy, hold, or sell.
3. Buy and Sell Conditions
• Buy Condition:
A buy signal is triggered when:
• The price enters the Green Zone (Bullish trend and price > Fast EMA).
• It’s the first green candle after a non-green candle.
• Sell Condition:
A sell signal is triggered when:
• The price enters the Red Zone (Bearish trend and price < Fast EMA).
• It’s the first red candle after a non-red candle.
4. Trade Execution Logic
• Buy:
The strategy enters a long position (buy) when the above buy condition is met.
• Sell:
The strategy exits the long position when the sell condition is met.
Note: It doesn’t support short trades, meaning it doesn’t enter sell positions.
5. Momentum-Based Signals (Optional)
The indicator also includes momentum signals using Stochastic RSI to provide additional buy/sell signals:
• These are based on oversold and overbought levels of the Stochastic RSI.
• It filters signals depending on whether the trend is Bullish or Bearish.
6. Visual Features
The indicator is designed to make the trading zones and signals visually intuitive:
• Bar Colors:
Candlesticks are colored based on the current zone (e.g., Green for Buy, Red for Sell).
• EMA Lines:
The Fast EMA and Slow EMA are plotted, making it easy to see crossover points.
• Buy/Sell Signals:
Marked with shapes (e.g., circles) below/above bars for clarity.
7. Strategy Assumptions
• Trend-Following Nature:
This strategy assumes that trends persist. It works best in trending markets but might give false signals in ranging markets.
• Lagging Nature of EMAs:
As EMAs are lagging indicators, buy and sell signals may occur after significant moves have already begun or ended.
• Momentum Confirmation (Optional):
Adding momentum signals can help filter false signals, though it’s not part of the core logic.
8. Usage Recommendations
• Timeframes:
Works on various timeframes but may perform better on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, Daily) to reduce noise.
• Markets:
Can be applied to stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
• Backtesting and Optimization:
Before live trading, backtest the strategy with different EMA periods and other parameters to find optimal settings for your market and timeframe.
Multi-Symbol Scanner: Advanced EMA-RSI-Volume Strategy# Multi-Symbol Tech Stock Scanner: Advanced EMA-RSI-Volume Strategy
## Technical Analysis Methodology
This scanner implements a sophisticated multi-timeframe analysis approach combining three key technical elements:
### 1. Dual EMA System (Primary Trend Detection)
- **Long-term EMA (820 periods)**: Acts as the primary trend identifier
- Chosen specifically for tech stocks' longer-term price waves
- Helps filter out minor market noise while capturing major trend changes
- 820 periods approximately represents 3.2 years of trading days
- **Medium-term EMA (320 periods)**: Serves as trend confirmation
- Approximately 1.25 years of trading data
- Provides earlier entry signals while maintaining trend reliability
- Helps identify potential trend reversals before the major trend shift
### 2. Volume Analysis Component
The script employs a dynamic volume analysis system:
- Calculates 20-period moving average of volume as baseline
- Requires 1.5x surge above baseline for signal confirmation
- Volume surge requirement helps filter out weak moves and potential false breakouts
- Different from standard volume indicators as it uses adaptive thresholds
### 3. RSI Momentum Filter
Implements a specialized RSI configuration:
- 14-period RSI with dynamic overbought/oversold levels
- Oversold threshold: 30 (customizable)
- Overbought threshold: 70 (customizable)
- Used as a confirmation tool rather than primary signal generator
## Signal Generation Logic
### Buy Signal Requirements
1. Price must cross above 820 EMA (PRIMARY CONDITION)
2. Current price must be above 320 EMA (CONFIRMATION)
3. RSI must be above 30 but below 70 (MOMENTUM CHECK)
4. Volume must be 1.5x above 20-period average (STRENGTH VALIDATION)
### Sell Signal Requirements
1. Price must cross below 820 EMA (PRIMARY CONDITION)
2. Current price must be below 320 EMA (CONFIRMATION)
3. RSI must be above 30 but below 70 (MOMENTUM CHECK)
4. Volume must be 1.5x above 20-period average (STRENGTH VALIDATION)
## Risk Management Integration
The script automatically calculates key risk levels based on volatility:
1. **Stop Loss Calculation**:
- Default: 2% below entry for buys
- Dynamically adjusted based on price point
- Can be modified through input parameters
2. **Take Profit Targets**:
- Primary target: 6% above entry (3:1 reward-risk ratio)
- Based on historical tech stock movement patterns
- Adjustable through input parameters
## Multi-Symbol Implementation
The scanner monitors 6 symbols simultaneously using:
- Separate security calls for each data point
- Optimized data requests to prevent overload
- Individual signal processing for each symbol
- Synchronized alert generation system
## Technical Implementation Details
1. **Data Processing**:
```

- Separate volume analysis threads
- RSI calculations with standard deviation normalization
```
2. **Signal Processing**:
```
- Cross-verification of all conditions
- Time-based signal validation
- Volume surge confirmation
- Trend alignment check
```
3. **Alert System**:
```
- Bar-close confirmation required
- Multi-condition validation
- Detailed price level inclusion
- Risk parameter integration
```
## Optimization Features
1. **Memory Usage**:
- Optimized security calls
- Efficient data structure
- Reduced redundant calculations
2. **Processing Efficiency**:
- Single-pass data analysis
- Combined indicator calculations

MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"
Developed from over 10 years of personal trading experience, the Mercury Indicator is a strategic tool designed to enhance accuracy in trading decisions. Think of it as a guiding light—a supportive tool that helps traders refine and build more robust strategies by integrating multiple powerful elements into a single indicator. I’ll be sharing some examples to illustrate how I use this indicator in my own trading journey, highlighting its potential to improve strategy accuracy.
Reason behind the combination of emas , cpr and vwap is it provides very good support and resistance in my trading carrier so now i brought them together in one plate
How It Works:
Mercury combines three essential elements—EMA, VWAP, and CPR—each of which plays a vital role in detecting support and resistance:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Known for their strength in providing dynamic support and resistance levels, EMAs help in identifying trends and shifts in momentum. This indicator includes a dashboard with up to nine customizable EMAs, showing whether each is acting as support or resistance based on real-time price movement.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): VWAP also provides valuable support and resistance, often regarded as a fair price level by institutional traders. Paired with EMAs, it forms a dual-layered support/resistance system, adding an additional level of confirmation.
Central Pivot Range (CPR): By combining CPR with EMAs and VWAP, Mercury highlights “traffic blocks” in your target journey. This means it identifies zones where price is likely to stall or reverse, providing additional guidance for navigating entries and exits.
Why This Combination Matters:
Using these three tools together gives you a more complete view of the market. VWAP and EMAs offer dynamic trend direction and support/resistance, while CPR pinpoints critical price zones. This combination helps you find high-probability trades, adding clarity to complex market situations and enabling stronger confirmation on trend or reversal decisions.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Check if all EMAs are aligned (green for uptrend, red for downtrend), which is visible in the EMA dashboard. An alignment across VWAP, CPR, and EMAs signifies high confidence in trend direction.
Breakouts & Breakdowns: Mercury has an alert system to signal when a price breakout or breakdown occurs across VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. This can help in spotting strong directional moves.
Example Application: In my trading, I use Mercury to identify support/resistance zones, confirming trends with EMA/VWAP alignment and using CPR as a checkpoint. I find this especially useful for day trading and swing setups.
Recommended Timeframes:
Day Trading: 5 to 15-minute charts for swift, actionable insights.
Swing Trading: 1-hour or 4-hour charts for broader trend analysis.
Note:
The Mercury Indicator should be used as a supportive tool rather than a standalone strategy, guiding you toward informed decisions in line with your trading style and goals.
EXAMPLE OF TRADE
you can see the cart of XAUUSD on 11th nov 2024
1.SHORT POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN
So here for a short position you need to wait for a breakdown candle which will print in orange post the candle you need to check ema dashboard is completly red that indicates no traffic blocks in your journey to destiny target from ema's and you can take the target from nearest cpr support line
TAKEN IN XAUUSD you can see in chart of XAUUSD on 7th nov
2.LONG POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN -
So here for long position you need to wait for a breakout candle from indicator thats here is blue and check all ema boxes are green and candle body should close above all the 3 lines here it is the both ema 1 and 2 and the vwap line then you can take and entry and your target will be the nearest resistance from the daily cpr
3. STOP LOSS CRITERIA
After the entry any candle close below any of the last line from entry for example we have 3 lines vwap and ema 1 and 2 lines and u have made an entry and the last line before the entry is vwap then if any candle closes below vwap can be considered as stoploss like wise in any lines
The MERCURY indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to enhance traders' ability to identify trends, breakouts, and reversals effectively. Created by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, this indicator integrates several technical elements, including Central Pivot Range (CPR), EMA crossovers, VWAP levels, and a table-based EMA dashboard, to offer a holistic trading view.
Core Components and Functionality:
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
The CPR in MERCURY provides a central pivot level along with Below Central (BC) and Top Central (TC) pivots. These levels act as potential support and resistance, useful for identifying reversal points and zones where price may consolidate.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
MERCURY includes up to nine EMAs, with a customizable EMA crossover alert system. This feature enables traders to see shifts in trend direction, especially when shorter EMAs cross longer ones.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price):
VWAP is incorporated as a dynamic support/resistance level and, combined with EMA crossovers, helps refine entry and exit points for higher probability trades.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
MERCURY monitors conditions for upside and downside breakouts. For an upside breakout, all EMAs turn green and a candle closes above VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. Similarly, all EMAs turning red, combined with a close below VWAP and EMA1/EMA2, signals a downside breakdown. Continuous alerts are available until the trend shifts.
Real-Time EMA Dashboard:
A table displays each EMA’s relative position (Above or Below), helping traders quickly gauge trend direction. Colors in the table adjust to long/short conditions based on EMA alignment.
Usage Recommendations:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the CPR, EMA alignments, and VWAP to confirm uptrends and downtrends. The table highlights trends, making it easy to spot long or short setups at a glance.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
The alert system is customizable for continuous notifications on critical price levels. When all EMAs align in one direction (green for long, red for short) and the close is above or below VWAP and key EMAs, the indicator confirms a breakout/breakdown.
Adaptable for Different Styles:
Day Trading: Traders can set shorter EMAs for quick insights.
Swing Trading: Longer EMAs combined with CPR offer insights into sustained trends.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframes: MERCURY is suitable for timeframes as low as 5 minutes for intraday traders, up to daily charts for trend analysis.
Symbols: Works across forex, stocks, and crypto. Adjust EMA lengths for asset volatility.
Example Strategy:
Long Entry: When the price crosses above CPR and closes above both EMA1 and EMA2.
Short Entry: When the price falls below CPR with a close below both EMA1 and EMA2.

Pulse DPO: Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms█ OVERVIEW
Pulse DPO is an oscillator designed to highlight Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms .
It works on any market driven by cycles. It operates by removing the short-term noise from the price action and focuses on the market's cyclical nature.
This indicator uses a Normalized version of the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) on a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify major tops and bottoms.
Credit: The DPO was first developed by William Blau in 1991.
█ HOW TO READ IT
Pulse DPO oscillates in the range between 0 and 100. A value in the upper section signals an OverBought (OB) condition, while a value in the lower section signals an OverSold (OS) condition.
Generally, the triggering of OB and OS conditions don't necessarily translate into swing tops and bottoms, but rather suggest caution on approaching a market that might be overextended.
Nevertheless, this indicator has been customized to trigger the signal only during remarkable top and bottom events.
I suggest using it on the Daily Time Frame , but you're free to experiment with this indicator on other time frames.
The indicator has Built-in Alerts to signal the crossing of the Thresholds. Please don't act on an isolated signal, but rather integrate it to work in conjunction with the indicators present in your Trading Plan.
█ OB SIGNAL ON: ENTERING OVERBOUGHT CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Above the Top Threshold it Triggers ON the OB signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to OB color.
When Pulse DPO enters the OB Zone, please beware! In this Area the Major Players usually become Active Sellers to the Public. While the OB signal is On, it might be wise to Consider Selling a portion or the whole Long Position.
Please note that even though this indicator aims to focus on major tops and bottoms, a strong trending market might trigger the OB signal and stay with it for a long time. That's especially true on young markets and on bubble-mode markets.
█ OB SIGNAL OFF: EXITING OVERBOUGHT CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Below the Top Threshold it Triggers OFF the OB signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to its normal color.
When Pulse DPO exits the OB Zone, please beware because a Major Top might just have occurred. In this Area the Major Players usually become Aggressive Sellers. They might wind up any remaining Long Positions and Open new Short Positions.
This might be a good area to Open Shorts or to Close/Reverse any remaining Long Position. Whatever you choose to do, it's usually best to act quickly because the market is prone to enter into panic mode.
█ OS SIGNAL ON: ENTERING OVERSOLD CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Below the Bottom Threshold it Triggers ON the OS signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to OS color.
When Pulse DPO enters the OS Zone, please beware because in this Area the Major Players usually become Active Buyers accumulating Long Positions from the desperate Public.
While the OS signal is On, it might be wise to Consider becoming a Buyer or to implement a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Strategy to build a Long Position towards the next Cycle. In contrast to the tops, the OS state usually takes longer to resolve a major bottom.
█ OS SIGNAL OFF: EXITING OVERSOLD CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Above the Bottom Threshold it Triggers OFF the OS signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to its normal color.
When Pulse DPO exits the OS Zone, please beware because a Major Bottom might already be in place. In this Area the Major Players become Aggresive Buyers. They might wind up any remaining Short Positions and Open new Long Positions.
This might be a good area to Open Longs or to Close/Reverse any remaining Short Positions.
█ WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
This indicator is built over a solid foundation capable of signaling Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms across many markets. Let's see some examples:
Early Bitcoin Years: From 0 to 1242
This chart is in logarithmic mode in order to properly display various exponential cycles. Pulse DPO is properly signaling the major early highs from 9-Jun-2011 at 31.50, to the next one on 9-Apr-2013 at 240 and the epic top from 29-Nov-2013 at 1242.
Due to the massive price movements, the OB condition stays pinned during most of the exponential price action. But as you can see, the OB condition quickly vanishes once the Cycle Top has been reached. As the market matures, the OB condition becomes more exceptional and triggers much closer from the Cycle Top.
With regards to Cycle Bottoms, the early bottom of 2 after having peaked at 31.50 doesn’t get captured by the indicator. That is the only cycle bottom that escapes the Pulse DPO when the bottom threshold is set at a value of 5. In that event, the oscillator low reached 6.95.
Bitcoin Adoption Spreading: From 257 to 73k
This chart is in logarithmic mode in order to properly display various exponential cycles. Pulse DPO is properly signaling all the major highs from 17-Dec-2017 at 19k, to the next one on 14-Apr-2021 at 64k and the most recent top from 9-Nov-2021 at 68k.
During the massive run of 2017, the OB condition still stayed triggered for a few weeks on each swing top. But on the next cycles it started to signal only for a few days before each swing top actually happened. The OB condition during the last cycle top triggered only for 3 days. Therefore the signal grows in focus as the market matures.
At the time of publishing this indicator, Bitcoin printed a new All Time High (ATH) on 13-Mar-2024 at 73k. That run didn’t trigger the OB condition. Therefore, if the indicator is correct the Bitcoin market still has some way to grow during the next months.
With regards to Cycle Bottoms, the bottom of 3k after having peaked at19k got captured within the wide OS zone. The bottom of 15k after having peaked at 68k got captured too within the OS accumulation area.
Gold
Pulse DPO behaves surprisingly well on a long standing market such as Gold. Moving back to the 197x years it’s been signaling most Cycle Tops and Bottoms with precision. During the last cycle, it shows topping at 2k and bottoming at 1.6k.
The current price action is signaling OB condition in the range of 2.5k to 2.7k. Looking at past cycles, it tends to trigger on and off at multiple swing tops until reaching the final cycle top. Therefore this might indicate the first wave within a potential gold run.
Oil
On the Oil market, we can see that most of the cycle tops and bottoms since the 80s got signaled. The only exception being the low from 2020 which didn’t trigger.
EURUSD
On Forex markets the Pulse DPO also behaves as expected. Looking back at EURUSD we can see the marketing triggering OB and OS conditions during major cycle tops and bottoms from recent times until the 80s.
S&P 500
On the S&P 500 the Pulse DPO catched the lows from 2016 and 2020. Looking at present price action, the recent ATH didn’t trigger the OB condition. Therefore, the indicator is allowing room for another leg up during the next months.
Amazon
On the Amazon chart the Pulse DPO is mirroring pretty accurately the major swings. Scrolling back to the early 2000s, this chart resembles early exponential swings in the crypto space.
Tesla
Moving onto a younger tech stock, Pulse DPO captures pretty accurately the major tops and bottoms. The chart is shown in logarithmic scale to better display the magnitude of the moves.

Performance Summary and Shading (Offset Version)Modified "Recession and Crisis Shading" Indicator by @haribotagada (Original Link: )
The updated indicator accepts a days offset (positive or negative) to calculate performance between the offset date and the input date.
Potential uses include identifying performance one week after company earnings or an FOMC meeting.
This feature simplifies input by enabling standardized offset dates, while still allowing flexibility to adjust ranges by overriding inputs as needed.
Summary of added features and indicator notes:
Inputs both positive and negative offset.
By default, the script calculates performance from the close of the input date to the close of the date at (input date + offset) for positive offsets, and from the close of (input date - offset) to the close of the input date for negative offsets. For example, with an input date of November 1, 2024, an offset of 7 calculates performance from the close on November 1 to the close on November 8, while an offset of -7 calculates from the close on October 25 to the close on November 1.
Allows user to perform the calculation using the open price on the input date instead of close price
The input format has been modified to allow overrides for the default duration, while retaining the original capabilities of the indicator.
The calculation shows both the average change and the average annualized change. For bar-wise calculations, annualization assumes 252 trading days per year. For date-wise calculations, it assumes 365 days for annualization.
Carries over all previous inputs to retain functionality of the previous script. Changes a few small settings:
Calculates start to end date performance by default instead of peak to trough performance.
Updates visuals of label text to make it easier to read and less transparent.
Changed stat box color scheme to make the text easier to read
Updated default input data to new format of input with offsets
Changed default duration statistic to number of days instead of number of bars with an option to select number of bars.
Potential Features to Add:
Import dataset from CSV files or by plugging into TradingView calendar
Example Input Datasets:
Recessions:

ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG (fadi)In his 2024 mentorship program, ICT detailed how price action interacts with Open Range Gaps and the initial 1-minute Fair Value Gap following the market open at 9:30 AM.
What is an Open Range Gap?
An Open Range Gap occurs when the market opens at 9:30 AM at a higher or lower level compared to the previous day's close at 4:14 PM, primarily relevant in futures trading. According to ICT, there is a statistical probability of 70% that the price action will close 50% or more of the Open Range Gap within the first 30 minutes of trading (9:30 AM to 10:00 AM).
What is the First 1-Minute Fair Value Gap?
ICT places significant emphasis on the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM. The FVG must occur at 9:31 AM or later to be considered valid. This gap often presents key opportunities for traders, as it represents a temporary imbalance between supply and demand that the market seeks to correct.
Understanding and leveraging these patterns can enhance trading strategies by offering insights into potential price movements shortly after market open.
ICT Open Range Gap & 1st FVG
This indicator is engineered to identify and highlight the Open Range Gaps and the first 1-minute Fair Value Gap. Furthermore, it functions across multiple timeframes, from seconds to hours, catering to various trading preferences. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for traders who favor higher timeframes or wish to observe these patterns' application at broader intervals.
Settings
The Open Range Gap indicator offers flexible display settings. It identifies the quadrants and provides optional color coding to distinguish them. Additionally, it tracks the "fill" level to visualize how far the price action has progressed into the gap, enhancing traders' ability to monitor and analyze price movements effectively. By default, the Open Range Gap will stop extending at 10:00 AM; however, there is an option to continue extending until the end of the trading day.
The 1st Fair Value Gap (FVG) can be viewed on any timeframe the indicator is active on, offering various styling options to match each trader's preferences. While the 1st FVG is particularly relevant to the day it is created, previous 1st FVGs within the same week may provide additional value. This indicator allows traders to extend Monday's 1st FVG, marking the first FVG of the week, or to extend all 1st FVGs throughout the week.

Supply and demandHi all!
This is my take on supply/demand. The gist is that it creates a zone if there is a big enough reaction. This is configurable in settings as "Minimum range (ATR factor)" (the Average True Length of length 14) that is the distance that the price must travel and "Reaction bars" that is the maximum number of bars that price must travel this distance. The zones that are shown are the ones that have a retest, break and retest or is unmitigated (untouched). If a zone is mitigated (entered) or broken it is temporarily hidden. For a zone to be created it needs to have this reaction and the previous bar does not.
So this script will show you zones that are fresh (unmitigated), retested or broken and retested. This means that the zones that are shown have "proven" that they are good zones through this. Basically it means that the script creates a bunch of zones and then picks the good once. This makes the script have some latency, but will hopefully give you good zones. A zone is completely removed if it's broken twice (it's okay if it's broken once and can still have a retest after it has flipped from previous supply (or resistance) into demand (or support)).
Here is a zone (the one that has the lowest opacity) that is broken and retested that could have resulted in a good long trade (the settings are default but has a stop in the beginning of 2024):
You have a setting to remove zones that are pierced (broken by price wicks). The following zone is pierced by price (in the beginning of May) that will not be shown after the start of May if you have "Pierced" checked (the indicator has default settings but a stop in the middle of April):
You have a trend section. Zones that create a reaction upwards can only be created if the trend is considered to be up, and vice versa. The options here are "SMA50" (the current price needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 50) and "SMA50, SMA200" (price needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 50 and the Simple Moving Average of length 50 needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 200). If these conditions are met the trend is considered to be up, otherwise it's down. You can disable this by choosing "No detection".
The zones that are shown also need to be within a limit (of the current price). This limit is 10 (factor of the Average True Range if length 14) by default. Set this to 0 to deactivate. This is useful for not showing zones that are far away from current price and therefore unlikely to be interacted with.
You can stop the calculation of zones (through the "Stop" value in the settings). This is useful to see if previous zones were any good. I used it in my testing of the script but left it because it can be nice to have.
The zones created by the script have different transparency based upon the zone's interaction. The clearest zones are the ones that are unmitigated, the second clearest ones are the ones having a retest and lastly the zones which are most unclear are the ones having a break and then a retest.
You can see the concept of this script to be a mix of supply/demand and support/resistance, having zones being unmitigated (untouched) as the most important but also show the zones having an interaction (in the form of a retest or a break and retest).
This is from a previous supply (or resistance) zone that has flipped into demand (or support) and has shown to be a good zone through a retest followed by a rally (default settings):
This zone has multiple retest and then rallies that could have given a good long trades (it has the default settings but a "Stop" time at 2022-01-14):
TODO:
- Create zones based on pivots
- Handle overlapping zones
- Incorporate volume in the creation and/or interaction with zones
- Add alerts
- Add ability to set maximum zone width
- Add ability to set the maximum number of retest bars
- ...?
The example for this publication has the default settings bit a "Stop" and a tighter "Limit" of 4.
I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know otherwise. Also let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.
Best of trading luck!
ATR Trailing Stop by tactical trade 22 Oct 2024Description:
The ATR Dual Trailing Stop indicator is a versatile and powerful tool designed to help traders visualize dynamic support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator plots two separate ATR-based trailing stops with customizable settings, providing a comprehensive view of potential market reversals and trend strength.
Key features:
Two ATR Trailing Stops: The first stop uses customizable ATR settings (default: 10-period ATR with a 3x multiplier), while the second stop uses an alternate configuration (default: 21-period ATR with a 7x multiplier).
Multi-Timeframe ATR Calculation: Regardless of the chart's time frame, the ATR is calculated based on a user-selected time frame (e.g., daily), allowing for consistent stop-loss levels even in lower time frames like 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
Visual Cues: The indicator clearly plots two trailing stop lines in different colors, making it easy to track the market’s volatility-based support and resistance areas.
No Buy/Sell Signals: This is purely a trailing stop indicator with no embedded buy/sell signals, giving traders the flexibility to use it with their preferred entry/exit strategies.
This indicator is especially useful in highly volatile markets where precise trailing stop levels are essential for managing risk and maximizing profit potential. The dual ATR configuration helps traders adapt to changing market conditions by providing two levels of stop placement: a shorter-term and a longer-term trailing stop.

Commitment of Trader %R StrategyThis Pine Script strategy utilizes the Commitment of Traders (COT) data to inform trading decisions based on the Williams %R indicator. The script operates in TradingView and includes various functionalities that allow users to customize their trading parameters.
Here’s a breakdown of its key components:
COT Data Import:
The script imports the COT library from TradingView to access historical COT data related to different trader groups (commercial hedgers, large traders, and small traders).
User Inputs:
COT data selection mode (e.g., Auto, Root, Base currency).
Whether to include futures, options, or both.
The trader group to analyze.
The lookback period for calculating the Williams %R.
Upper and lower thresholds for triggering trades.
An option to enable or disable a Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter.
Williams %R Calculation: The script calculates the Williams %R value, which is a momentum indicator that measures overbought or oversold levels based on the highest and lowest prices over a specified period.
SMA Filter: An optional SMA filter allows users to limit trades to conditions where the price is above or below the SMA, depending on the configuration.
Trade Logic: The strategy enters long positions when the Williams %R value exceeds the upper threshold and exits when the value falls below it. Conversely, it enters short positions when the Williams %R value is below the lower threshold and exits when the value rises above it.
Visual Elements: The script visually indicates the Williams %R values and thresholds on the chart, with the option to plot the SMA if enabled.
Commitment of Traders (COT) Data
The COT report is a weekly publication by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that provides a breakdown of open interest positions held by different types of traders in the U.S. futures markets. It is widely used by traders and analysts to gauge market sentiment and potential price movements.
Data Collection: The COT data is collected from futures commission merchants and is published every Friday, reflecting positions as of the previous Tuesday. The report categorizes traders into three main groups:
Commercial Traders: These are typically hedgers (like producers and processors) who use futures to mitigate risk.
Non-Commercial Traders: Often referred to as speculators, these traders do not have a commercial interest in the underlying commodity but seek to profit from price changes.
Non-reportable Positions: Small traders who do not meet the reporting threshold set by the CFTC.
Interpretation:
Market Sentiment: By analyzing the positions of different trader groups, market participants can gauge sentiment. For instance, if commercial traders are heavily short, it may suggest they expect prices to decline.
Extreme Positions: Some traders look for extreme positions among non-commercial traders as potential reversal signals. For example, if speculators are overwhelmingly long, it might indicate an overbought condition.
Statistical Insights: COT data is often used in conjunction with technical analysis to inform trading decisions. Studies have shown that analyzing COT data can provide valuable insights into future price movements (Lund, 2018; Hurst et al., 2017).

Pivot-based Swing Highs and LowsRelease Notes for Pivot-based Swing Highs and Lows Indicator with HH, HL, LH, LL and Labels
Version 1.0.0
Release Date: 29th Sept 2024
Overview:
This Pine Script version 5 indicator is designed to identify and display Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on pivot points. The indicator visually marks Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) on the chart. The release introduces an improved visual representation with dotted lines and colored labels for easy identification of market structure, using plotshape() and line.new().
Key Features:
1. Pivot-Based Swing Identification:
The indicator uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() to detect significant pivot points on the chart.
The length of the pivot can be adjusted through the pivot_length parameter, allowing users to customize the sensitivity of swing identification.
2. Swing Highs and Lows with Labels:
Higher High (HH) and Lower High (LH) points are marked with green downward triangles.
Higher Low (HL) and Lower Low (LL) points are marked with red upward triangles.
The plotshape() function is used to provide clear visual markers, making it easy to spot the changes in market structure.
3. Dotted Line Visuals:
Green Dotted Lines: Connect Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL) to their corresponding previous swings.
Red Dotted Lines: Connect Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL) to their corresponding previous swings.
The use of color-coded dotted lines ensures better visual understanding of the trend continuation or reversal patterns.
4. Customizable Input:
The user can adjust the pivot_length parameter to fine-tune the detection of pivot highs and lows according to different timeframes or trading strategies.
Usage:
Higher High (HH): Green downward triangle, indicating a new high compared to the previous pivot high.
Lower High (LH): Green downward triangle, indicating a lower high compared to the previous pivot high.
Higher Low (HL): Red upward triangle, indicating a higher low compared to the previous pivot low.
Lower Low (LL): Red upward triangle, indicating a new lower low compared to the previous pivot low.
Dotted Lines: Connect previous swing points, helping users visualize the trend and potential market structure changes.
Improvements:
Label Substitution: In place of label.new() (which might cause issues in some environments), the indicator now uses plotshape() to provide a reliable and visually effective solution for marking swings.
Streamlined Performance: The logic for determining higher highs, lower highs, higher lows, and lower lows has been optimized for smooth performance across multiple timeframes.
Known Limitations:
No Direct Text Labels: Due to the constraints of plotshape(), text labels like "HH", "LH", "HL", and "LL" are not directly displayed. Instead, color-coded shapes are used for easy identification.
How to Use:
Apply the script to your chart via the TradingView Pine Editor.
Customize the pivot_length to suit your trading style or the timeframe you are analyzing.
Monitor the chart for marked Higher Highs, Lower Highs, Higher Lows, and Lower Lows for potential trend continuation or reversal opportunities.
Use the dotted lines to trace the evolution of market structure.

Interest Rate Trading (Manually Added Rate Decisions) [TANHEF]Interest Rate Trading: How Interest Rates Can Guide Your Next Move.
How were interest rate decisions added?
All interest rate decision dates were manually retrieved from the 'Record of Policy Actions' and 'Minutes of Actions' on the Federal Reserve's website due to inconsistent dates from other sources. These were manually added as Pine Script currently only identifies rate changes, not pauses.
█ Simple Explanation:
This script is designed for analyzing and backtesting trading strategies based on U.S. interest rate decisions which occur during Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, to make trading decisions. No trading strategy is perfect, and it's important to understand that expectations won't always play out. The script leverages historical interest rate changes, including increases, decreases, and pauses, across multiple economic time periods from 1971 to the present. The tool integrates two key data sources for interest rates—USINTR and FEDFUNDS—to support decision-making around rate-based trades. The focus is on identifying opportunities and tracking trades driven by interest rate movements.
█ Interest Rate Decision Sources:
As noted above, each decision date has been manually added from the 'Record of Policy Actions' and 'Minutes of Actions' documents on the Federal Reserve's website. This includes +50 years of more than 600 rate decisions.
█ Interest Rate Data Sources:
USINTR: Reflects broader U.S. interest rate trends, including Treasury yields and various benchmarks. This is the preferred option as it corresponds well to the rate decision dates.
FEDFUNDS: Tracks the Federal Funds Rate, which is a more specific rate targeted by the Federal Reserve. This does not change on the exact same days as the rate decisions that occur at FOMC meetings.
█ Trade Criteria:
A variety of trading conditions are predefined to suit different trading strategies. These conditions include:
Increase/Decrease: Standard rate increases or decreases.
Double/Triple Increase/Decrease: A series of consecutive changes.
Aggressive Increase/Decrease: Rate changes that exceed recent movements.
Pause: Identification of no changes (pauses) between rate decisions, including double or triple pauses.
Complex Patterns: Combinations of pauses, increases, or decreases, such as "Pause after Increase" or "Pause or Increase."
█ Trade Execution and Exit:
The script allows automated trade execution based on selected criteria:
Auto-Entry: Option to enter trades automatically at the first valid period.
Max Trade Duration: Optional exit of trades after a specified number of bars (candles).
Pause Days: Minimum duration (in days) to validate rate pauses as entry conditions. This is especially useful for earlier periods (prior to the 2000s), where rate decisions often seemed random compared to the consistency we see today.
█ Visualization:
Several visual elements enhance the backtesting experience:
Time Period Highlighting: Economic time periods are visually segmented on the chart, each with a unique color. These periods include historical phases such as "Stagflation (1971-1982)" and "Post-Pandemic Recovery (2021-Present)".
Trade and Holding Results: Displays the profit and loss of trades and holding results directly on the chart.
Interest Rate Plot: Plots the interest rate movements on the chart, allowing for real-time tracking of rate changes.
Trade Status: Highlights active long or short positions on the chart.
█ Statistics and Criteria Display:
Stats Table: Summarizes trade results, including wins, losses, and draw percentages for both long and short trades.
Criteria Table: Lists the selected entry and exit criteria for both long and short positions.
█ Economic Time Periods:
The script organizes interest rate decisions into well-defined economic periods, allowing traders to backtest strategies specific to historical contexts like:
(1971-1982) Stagflation
(1983-1990) Reaganomics and Deregulation
(1991-1994) Early 1990s (Recession and Recovery)
(1995-2001) Dot-Com Bubble
(2001-2006) Housing Boom
(2007-2009) Global Financial Crisis
(2009-2015) Great Recession Recovery
(2015-2019) Normalization Period
(2019-2021) COVID-19 Pandemic
(2021-Present) Post-Pandemic Recovery
█ User-Configurable Inputs:
Rate Source Selection: Choose between USINTR or FEDFUNDS as the primary interest rate source.
Trade Criteria Customization: Users can select the criteria for long and short trades, specifying when to enter or exit based on changes in the interest rate.
Time Period: Select the time period that you want to isolate testing a strategy with.
Auto-Entry and Pause Settings: Options to automatically enter trades and specify the number of days to confirm a rate pause.
Max Trade Duration: Limits how long trades can remain open, defined by the number of bars.
█ Trade Logic:
The script manages entries and exits for both long and short trades. It calculates the profit or loss percentage based on the entry and exit prices. The script tracks ongoing trades, dynamically updating the profit or loss as price changes.
█ Examples:
One of the most popular opinions is that when rate starts begin you should sell, then buy back in when rate cuts stop dropping. However, this can be easily proven to be a difficult task. Predicting the end of a rate cut is very difficult to do with the the exception that assumes rates will not fall below 0.25%.

█ Backtest and Real-Time Use:
This backtester is useful for historical analysis and real-time trading. By setting up various entry and exit rules tied to interest rate movements, traders can test and refine strategies based on real historical data and rate decision trends.
This powerful tool allows traders to customize strategies, backtest them through different economic periods, and get visual feedback on their trading performance, helping to make more informed decisions based on interest rate dynamics. The main goal of this indicator is to challenge the belief that future events must mirror the 2001 and 2007 rate cuts. If everyone expects something to happen, it usually doesn’t.
ETH Signal 15m
This strategy uses the Supertrend indicator combined with RSI to generate buy and sell signals, with stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) conditions based on ATR (Average True Range). Below is a detailed explanation of each part:
1. General Information BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P
Strategy Name: "ETH Signal 15m"
Designed for use on the 15-minute time frame for the ETH pair.
Default capital allocation is 15% of total equity for each trade.
2. Backtest Period
start_time and end_time: Define the start and end time of the backtest period.
start_time = 2024-08-01: Start date of the backtest.
end_time = 2054-01-01: End date of the backtest.
The strategy will only run when the current time falls within this specified range.
3. Supertrend Indicator
Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that provides buy or sell signals based on the direction of price changes.
factor = 2.76: The multiplier used in the Supertrend calculation (increasing this value makes the Supertrend less sensitive to price movements).
atrPeriod = 12: Number of periods used to calculate ATR.
Output:
direction: Determines the buy/sell direction based on Supertrend.
If direction decreases, it signals a buy (Long).
If direction increases, it signals a sell (Short).
4. RSI Indicator
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator, often used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
rsiLength = 12: Number of periods used to calculate RSI.
rsiOverbought = 70: RSI level considered overbought.
rsiOversold = 30: RSI level considered oversold.
5. Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
Supertrend gives a buy signal (ta.change(direction) < 0).
RSI must be below the overbought level (rsi < rsiOverbought).
Short Entry:
Supertrend gives a sell signal (ta.change(direction) > 0).
RSI must be above the oversold level (rsi > rsiOversold).
The strategy will only execute trades if the current time is within the backtest period (in_date_range).
6. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Conditions
ATR (Average True Range) is used to calculate the distance for Stop Loss and Take Profit based on price volatility.
atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod): ATR is calculated using 12 periods.
Stop Loss and Take Profit are calculated as follows:
Long Trade:
Stop Loss: Set at close - 4 * atr (current price minus 4 times the ATR).
Take Profit: Set at close + 2 * atr (current price plus 2 times the ATR).
Short Trade:
Stop Loss: Set at close + 4 * atr (current price plus 4 times the ATR).
Take Profit: Set at close - 2.237 * atr (current price minus 2.237 times the ATR).
Summary:
This strategy enters a Long trade when the Supertrend indicates an upward trend and RSI is not in the overbought region. Conversely, a Short trade is entered when Supertrend signals a downtrend, and RSI is not oversold.
The trade is exited when the price reaches the Stop Loss or Take Profit levels, which are determined based on price volatility (ATR).

DP-OCR MTF & MA 2024This script developed is designed for multi-timeframe analysis of previous open, close, and range, with additional signal plots based on various percentage extension levels. It also incorporates EMA calculations for crossover strategies. Here's a quick breakdown of what the script does:
Key Features:
1. Timeframes:
o Two separate timeframes (TF1 and TF2), which can be set by the user (e.g., 15 mins, 30 mins, daily, etc.). The script computes price actions and extensions for both timeframes. For better analysis, use Daily in TF1 and Weekly in TF2
2. Extension Levels:
o Calculates and plots 10%, 21%, 31%, 51%, and 61% extensions (both positive and negative) for each timeframe.
o The most commonly used extension levels are 61%, 31%, -61%, and -21%.
o These extension levels can be turned on or off by the user.
3. Open/Close/Range:
o Tracks the high, low, open, and close for both timeframes.
o Highlights open/close gaps.
o Plots the previous high/low range for both timeframes with a fill and different colors based on price movement.
How to Use:
• You can toggle specific extension levels on or off in the script’s settings.
• For example, when price hits a +61% extension, it could signal a breakout, and when it hits a -61% extension, it may indicate a potential retracement.
• Use these levels in conjunction with your price action analysis to set entry/exit points or stop-loss levels.
4. Today’s Open:
o Plots today’s opening price for both timeframes.
How to Use:
• Use today’s open as a key reference point to determine the day’s price action.
• Compare today’s open with the previous high/low or extension levels to evaluate possible trends or reversals.
5. EMA Calculations:
o The script calculates 5, 15, and 20 period EMAs and plots them on the chart.
o Additional EMA crossover signals can be included for strategy optimization.
How to Use:
• Observe the EMAs for potential crossover signals. For example, a 5-period EMA crossing above a 15-period or 20-period EMA may signal a buy opportunity, while a crossover in the opposite direction may signal a sell.
• Combine the EMA crossovers with extension levels or previous price data to refine your entries and exits.
Customizations Available:
• Users can select whether to display extension levels for either timeframe.
• The script allows automatic adaptation to intraday, daily, weekly, or monthly timeframes based on the current chart settings.
Moreover, the extension levels are calculated based on the previous period’s range, with the most commonly usable extension levels being 61, 31, -61, and -21. These levels are often used for identifying potential price retracements, breakouts, or reversal points in technical analysis.

BTC Top Indicator - Extension from 20 Week SMA (Normalized)This Indicator calculates the logarithmic deviation of the BTCUSD price from its 20-week SMA and dynamically normalizes it between a lower signal line (-0.57) and an upper trendline defined by two historical points (May 30, 2011, at 1.75 and March 4, 2024, at 0.45).
The indicator line color changes dynamically:
green below 0
blue at 0.5
red above 1
Ideal for analyzing BTCUSD on the Index chart to identify potential overbought or oversold levels. It's better suited for identifying tops, than bottoms.
Linear and Logarithmic Fibonacci Levels and (Price&Time) FansIntroduction
The Fibonacci Retracement tool is a go-to for traders looking to spot potential support and resistance levels. By measuring the distance between swing highs and lows, you can apply Fibonacci ratios like 0.236, 0.382, and 0.618 to predict key market levels.
Traditionally, these levels are set by dividing this distance into equal parts—known as Linear Levels. A more refined approach, Logarithmic Price and Time Levels, divides the distance into proportionally equal segments. Plus, this indicator now includes Fibonacci fans, adding another layer of analysis by projecting potential price levels using trendlines based on Fibonacci ratios.
This tool makes it easier to identify both Linear and Logarithmic levels while also leveraging Fibonacci fans for a more complete market view.
Applications
Logarithmic Levels and Fibonacci fans are ideal for volatile markets. In crypto, they’re especially effective for BTCUSDT (check out the wick from January 23, 2024). They also help spot accumulation and distribution patterns in high-volume altcoins like FETUSDT . In traditional markets, they’re useful for tracking stocks like TSLA and NVDA with extreme price swings, as well as indices in inflation-affected markets like XU100 , or recession-hit currency pairs like JPYUSD .
How to Use
This indicator is intuitive and similar to TradingView’s Fibonacci Tool. Select your reference levels (Level 1 and Level 0), then tweak the settings to customize your analysis, including adding Fibonacci fans for extra insights.
Why It’s Different
Unlike TradingView’s tool, which forces you to switch to a logarithmic scale (messing with other indicators and trend lines), this indicator lets you view both Linear and Logarithmic levels—and Fibonacci fans on Price and Time Series—without changing your chart’s scale. The original Fibonacci Code was derived from zekicanozkanli, modified and upgraded to plot fib front and back fans as well. Due to TV Max Plot restrictions I need to publish just Front and Back and Front Fibs separately.
