Confluence Strategy This is modified version of Dale Legan's "Confluence" indicator written by Gary Fritz.
================================================================
Here is Gary`s commentary:
Since the Confluence indicator returned several "states" (bull, bear, grey, and zero),
he modified the return value a bit:
-9 to -1 = Bearish
-0.9 to 0.9 = "grey" (and zero)
1 to 9 = Bullish
The "grey" range corresponds to the "grey" values plotted by Dale's indicator, but
they're divided by 10.

Elder Ray (Bear Power) Strategy Backtest Developed by Dr Alexander Elder, the Elder-ray indicator measures buying
and selling pressure in the market. The Elder-ray is often used as part
of the Triple Screen trading system but may also be used on its own.
Dr Elder uses a 13-day exponential moving average (EMA) to indicate the
market consensus of value. Bear Power measures the ability of sellers to
drive prices below the consensus of value. Bear Power reflects the ability
of sellers to drive prices below the average consensus of value.
Bull Power is calculated by subtracting the 13-day EMA from the day's High.
Bear power subtracts the 13-day EMA from the day's Low.
You can use in the xPrice any series: Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4 and ect...
You can change long to short in the Input Settings
Please, use it only for learning or paper trading. Do not for real trading.
EMA bullish/bearish dashboard - MTFThis is a good reminder for which way you should be placing orders.
It's best to not ignore these signals!!!
lime = full bull - 100ema above 200ema and price is above 200ema
green = hallf bull - price now below 200ema but 100ema is still above the 200
maroon = full bear - opposite of full bull
red = half bear - opposite of half bull
Also with multi timeframe option - so I guess you could stack several of these on a single framed chart if you wanted.
[NM] EMADiff v01 - an indicator for everyone !Allright gang, we are here with a new indicator that should help you with determining the direction to trade or whether you should trade at all.
It uses the close of the candle and 2 EMAs.
The faster moving line is the difference between the close and the Slow EMA, while the slower moving line shows the difference between the Fast EMA and the Slow EMA.
There are a couple of ways you can use this indicator, depending on your trading style :
For the quick profit, in and out :
- enable the safer trading option and keep smoothing at the default setting, buy when both lines are green, sell when both line are red and get out when one of the lines changes color (or when profit target is reached) (see the top option)
For longer trades :
- you can increase the smoothing, use a higher Slow EMA and disable the Safer trading option, enter either when both lines have the same color, either on a crossover. (the bottom option)
In both cases, if both lines hover around the zero line, the trend is definitely not strong.
Much more options are available so I would love to hear how you use this indicator. A thumbs up if you like it would be highly appreciated :)
Works nicely together with my other indicators below :

Direction via Zone Break [by rukich]🟠 OVERVIEW
The indicator shows the direction of movement and zones: SSL, BSL, FVG.
Zones serve as support/resistance and as validation/invalidation of a movement reversal.
🟠 COMPONENTS
The direction of movement is built based on a three-candle swing high (BSL) and swing low (SSL) pattern. If swing high (BSL) and swing low (SSL) are formed, and then an internal swing high/low is formed (depending on the direction of movement), then in case the initial movement continues — for example, in an upward movement — the new swing low (SSL) will be the minimum before the update, i.e., the internal low, while the swing high (BSL) will be formed according to the three-candle pattern.
A change of direction is considered when a candle closes beyond the key swing high/low (BSL/SSL), depending on the direction of movement. For example, in an upward movement, a break occurs when a candle closes beyond the swing low (SSL). After that, the swing high (BSL) will be the nearest fractal (swing high), and the swing low (SSL) will be formed according to the three-candle pattern.
All the above logic also applies to downward movements.
Within each movement, there can be FVG zones, which can act as support/resistance or indicate weakness in the movement direction.
Note: if the movement is upward, only bullish FVG+ will be displayed; if the movement is downward, only bearish FVG- will be displayed.
Weakness of movement direction.
For example, consider an upward impulse with the nearest FVG+ zone. If the price closes beyond the lower boundary of the zone, it will be considered invalidated (inv. FVG-), which in turn indicates weakness in the movement direction and a possible local short, which may subsequently lead to a break of the entire movement.
🟠 HOW TO USE
There are only two visual settings in the configuration:
Show previous SSL/BSL – enables/disables the display of all previous SSL/BSL zones
Show Bullish/Bearish trend – enables/disables background shading between SSL and BSL for visual understanding of the movement direction
On the chart, the following are displayed:
Labels with current SSL/BSL
FVG+- / inv. FVG+- zones, for trading in the movement direction
In case the nearest FVG is invalidated, a label will appear with the text: Weak bullish/bearish & local short/long (this is not a signal, but only indicates the probability of a potential move based on the weakness of the nearest zone)
🟠 CONCLUSION
The indicator helps determine the current movement with zones for trading in the direction, and also indicates movement weakness through invalidation of the nearest zones.

EMAs Bullish/Bearish Confluence [Trend Bias]EMA Confluence Zones
This indicator is designed to simplify trend identification by visually highlighting "Confluence Zones" —areas where short-term, medium-term, and long-term momentum are fully aligned.
While traders can manually add three Moving Averages to a chart, identifying the exact moment all three align (the "Perfect Stack") can be visually difficult during live trading. This script automates that process, converting complex line crosses into simple background color zones and providing actionable alerts for the exact moment a trend alignment begins.
🛠 How It Works
The script utilizes three customizable Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to detect the market bias:
Short EMA: Represents immediate price action/momentum.
Medium EMA: Represents the intermediate trend.
Long EMA: Represents the major trend baseline.
Calculations & Logic
The indicator checks for a specific hierarchical alignment (Stacking) of these averages:
1. 🟢 Bullish Confluence (Buy Zone):** Returns true when `Short > Medium` AND `Medium >Long`. This confirms that momentum is rising across all three monitored timeframes.
2. 🔴 Bearish Confluence (Sell Zone):** Returns true when `Short < Medium` AND `Medium < Long`. This confirms that momentum is falling across all three monitored timeframes.
3. ⚪ Neutral (No Color): Any other state indicates a choppy or consolidating market where the EMAs are intertwined.
---
🚀 Key Features
*Visual Bias Confirmation: The background highlights Green (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) only when the "Perfect Stack" conditions are met.
Trend Start Alerts: Unlike standard EMA cross alerts, this script includes custom alert conditions that trigger only on the first bar where the confluence becomes valid. This prevents spam alerts during a prolonged trend.
Full Customization: Users can adjust the lengths of all three EMAs to fit specific strategies (e.g., Scalping vs. Swing Trading).
Clean Chart Mode: Includes options to hide the EMA lines entirely and rely solely on the background color for a minimalist "Naked Trading" setup.
🎯 How to Use
1. Trend Filter: Use the background color to determine your directional bias. If the background is Green, look only for Long setups on lower timeframes. If Red, look only for Short setups.
2. Breakout Confirmation: If price breaks a key level, wait for the background color to flip. This confirms that the Moving Averages have caught up to the move, validating the breakout strength.
3. Exit Signal: If you are in a trend trade and the background color disappears (turns transparent), it indicates the trend momentum is fading and the EMAs are beginning to cross/compress.
⚙️ Settings
EMA Lengths: Default is 20, 50, 100. These can be changed to common combinations like (9, 21, 55) or (50, 100, 200).
Visuals: Toggle lines or background colors on/off and adjust transparency to keep your chart readable.

Bullish and Bearish Engulfing (Strength & Trend)This is the final indicator that will show all the “Bullish Engulfing” and “Bearish Engulfing” price action patterns on the chart.
There are several indicators that show this type of chart pattern, but this will show you on the chart all the types of engulfing that may exist and differentiated by type (or strength).
I have classified 4 types of patterns for strength.
Those of strength 1 represent patterns that only incorporate the body of the previous candle, and therefore represent a "base" signal.
Those of strength 2 represent patterns that have the close beyond the shadow, but with an open equal to the previous close.
Those of strength 3 represent patterns that open beyond the previous close.
Those of strength 4 represent patterns in which the body of the candle completely encompasses the previous candle.
Trend Filter
For a better experience I have also added a trend filter via an exponential moving average adjustable from the settings.
So if activated, patterns will only appear if the candle is completely above the moving average.
The indicator is completed by alerts that can be activated either via the "any alert function" in which you will receive any alert, or you can choose whether to receive only bullish ones or only bearish ones.
2 bearish candles above the 8 EMAYou will get a signal when:
Candle n-1 is bearish
Candle n is bearish
Candle n closes above the 8EMA
All on 30-minute timeframe
Absorption — Bullish or BearishAbsorption — Bullish or Bearish Only is a lightweight and minimalistic tool designed to identify pure absorption events in the market.
It highlights only two conditions:
Bullish Absorption
• Volume spike
• Small candle body
• Positive delta behavior (close > open)
→ Indicates potential buy-side absorption at lows
Bearish Absorption
• Volume spike
• Small candle body
• Negative delta behavior (close < open)
→ Indicates potential sell-side absorption at highs
This script intentionally keeps the chart clean by marking only “Bullish” or “Bearish” labels, without any additional visuals, colors, or extra signals.
Ideal for traders who want a simple, non-disruptive absorption confirmation tool.
O5 EMA Cloud 20/50 + Pullback Touch Alerts (Bull/Bear Filter)This indicator shows an EMA cloud that is set to Fast=20 and Slow=50 by default, but can be changed.
It features suggested entry signals when price pulls back to either EMA level in both uptrends and downtrends.
Buy signals print only when price pulls back to one of the EMA levels and closes up.
Bearish signals only print when price pulls back to one of the EMA levels and closes down.
Bull vs Bear Volume(Simplified)Bull vs Bear Volume
After experimenting with countless volume-based indicators, I sought a simple way to visualize buying and selling pressure with just two lines—an indicator that stays closely coupled with price action.
I went through endless trial and error, building extremely complex volume indicators, only to find that in live trading, errors kept arising and the tools became more hindrance than help. Yet, to enhance the reliability of price indicators, a trustworthy volume measure is indispensable. Even after testing numerous community-shared indicators, I could not find one that met my needs.
This led me to a simple idea: process volume only when Close > Open for buying pressure, and Close < Open for selling pressure, while cleaning out the noise. By reflecting only the volume contributing to price movement, the indicator remains stable and intuitive.
Implementing this concept, I created an indicator that, among countless volume tools, stands out for its clarity and lack of extraneous functions. Users can freely adjust the sum periods of the Bull and Bear lines, choose line styles, and even enjoy the dynamic color changes when the lines cross.
If this indicator can provide even a little assistance in trading, then my purpose is fulfilled.
Engulfing bull & bear w/ Volume Confirmation (v6)This script ID's bullish & bearish engulfing bars with volume ≥ SMA (volume, 20) x 1.3 and (optionally) ≥ previous bar's volume.
Parameters adjustable
Bullish & Bearish Once Bar PainterThe Bullish & Bearish First Bar Marker is a simple yet powerful indicator designed to highlight the first bullish and bearish bars in a sequence, helping traders identify key momentum shifts in the market. It marks:Bullish Bars: The first bar where the high and low are both higher than the previous bar (high > high and low > low ), painted green with a "Bullish" label.
Bearish Bars: The first bar where the high and low are both lower than the previous bar (high < high and low < low ), painted red with a "Bearish" label.
To avoid clutter, consecutive bullish or bearish bars are not marked until a non-bullish or non-bearish bar resets the sequence. This makes it ideal for spotting the start of strong upward or downward price movements.

All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

RSI Divergence (Nikko)RSI Divergence by Nikko
🧠 RSI Divergence Detector — Nikko Edition This script is an enhanced RSI Divergence detector built with Pine Script v6, modified for better visuals and practical usability. It uses linear regression to detect bullish and bearish divergences between the RSI and price action — one of the most reliable early signals in technical analysis.
✅ Improvements from the Original:
- Clean divergence lines using regression fitting.
- Optional label display to reduce clutter (Display Labels toggle).
- Adjustable line thickness (Display Line Width).
- A subtle heatmap background to highlight RSI overbought/oversold zones.
- Uses max accuracy with high calc_bars_count and custom extrapolation window.
🔍 How It Works: The script applies linear regression (least squares method) on both RSI data, and Price (close) data.
It then compares the direction of RSI vs. direction of Price over a set length. If price is making higher highs while RSI makes lower highs, it's a bearish divergence. If price is making lower lows while RSI makes higher lows, it's a bullish divergence. Additional filters (e.g., momentum and slope thresholds) are used to validate only strong divergences.
🔧 Input Parameters: RSI Length: The RSI period (default: 14). RSI Divergence Length: The lookback period for regression (default: 25). Source: Which price data to calculate RSI from (default: close). Display Labels: Show/hide “Bullish” or “Bearish” labels on the chart. Display Line Width: Adjusts how thick the plotted divergence lines appear.
📣 Alerts: Alerts are built-in for both RSI Buy (bullish divergence) and RSI Sell (bearish divergence) so you can use it in automation or notifications.
🚀 Personal Note: I’ve been using this script daily in my own trading, which is why I took time to improve both the logic and visual clarity. If you want a divergence tool that doesn't clutter your chart but gives strong signals, this might be what you're looking for.

NakInvest - 123 (Bullish & Bearish U-Pattern)📘 Description: U-Shape 123 (Bullish & Bearish Identifier)
This indicator helps you identify the 123 reversal pattern, a powerful yet simple price action setup taught by renowned Brazilian trader Stormer.
I learned this pattern from Lucas Nakata, founder of NakInvest, who was a student of Stormer. Stormer has popularized and refined this setup in the Brazilian trading community, especially for identifying U-shaped reversals that precede strong directional moves.
⸻
🔎 What is the 123 Pattern?
The 123 pattern is a 3-candle formation used to spot bullish or bearish reversals. It forms a “U” or inverted “U” shape and is based purely on candlestick structure — no indicators or lagging signals.
There are two versions:
✅ Bullish 123 (“U” pattern)
• Candle 1: Red candle with a large body (selling pressure).
• Candle 2: Small candle of any color (pause or indecision).
• Candle 3: Green candle with a body at least 70% the size of candle 1 (strong bullish push).
This indicates a potential bullish reversal from a prior downtrend.
❌ Bearish 123 (inverted “U” pattern)
• Candle 1: Green candle with a large body (buying pressure).
• Candle 2: Small candle of any color (pause or indecision).
• Candle 3: Red candle with a body at least 70% the size of candle 1 (strong bearish push).
This indicates a potential bearish reversal from a prior uptrend.
