Momentum_EMABand📢 Reposting Notice
I am reposting this script because my earlier submission was hidden due to description requirements under TradingView’s House Rules. This updated version fully explains the originality, the reason for combining these indicators, and how they work together. Follow me for future updates and refinements.
🆕 Momentum EMA Band, Rule-Based System
Momentum EMA Band is not just a mashup — it is a purpose-built trading tool for intraday traders and scalpers that integrates three complementary technical concepts into a single rules-based breakout & retest framework.
Originality comes from the specific sequence and interaction of these three filters:
Supertrend → Sets directional bias.
EMA Band breakout with retest logic → Times precise entries.
ADX filter → Confirms momentum strength and avoids noise.
This system is designed to filter out weak setups and false breakouts that standalone indicators often fail to avoid.
🔧 How the Indicator Works — Combined Logic
1️⃣ EMA Price Band — Dynamic Zone Visualization
Plots upper & lower EMA bands (default: 9-period EMA).
Green Band → Price above upper EMA = bullish momentum
Red Band → Price below lower EMA = bearish pressure
Yellow Band → Price within band = neutral zone
Acts as a consolidation zone and breakout trigger level.
2️⃣ Supertrend Overlay — Reliable Trend Confirmation
ATR-based Supertrend adapts to volatility:
Green Line = Uptrend bias
Red Line = Downtrend bias
Ensures trades align with the prevailing trend.
3️⃣ ADX-Based No-Trade Zone — Choppy Market Filter
Manual ADX calculation (default: length 14).
If ADX < threshold (default: 20) and price is inside EMA Band → gray background marks low-momentum zones.
🧩 Why This Mashup Works
Supertrend confirms trend direction.
EMA Band breakout & retest validates the breakout’s strength.
ADX ensures the market has enough trend momentum.
When all align, entries are higher probability and whipsaws are reduced.
📈 Example Trade Walkthrough
Scenario: 5-minute chart, ADX threshold = 20.
Supertrend turns green → trend bias is bullish.
Price consolidates inside the yellow EMA Band.
ADX rises above 20 → trend momentum confirmed.
Price closes above the green EMA Band after retesting the band as support.
Entry triggered on candle close, stop below band, target based on risk-reward.
Exit when Supertrend flips red or ADX momentum drops.
This sequence prevents premature entries, keeps trades aligned with trend, and avoids ranging markets.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Multi-layered confirmation for precision trading
✅ Built-in no-trade zone filter
✅ Fully customizable parameters
✅ Clean visuals for quick decision-making

XAUMO MEGABAR Detector]XAUMO MegaBar Detector – Breakout Candle Identification Tool
Purpose:
The XAUMO MegaBar Detector is built to highlight rare, high-impact candles where strong price movement and high trading volume occur together. These moments often reflect aggressive market activity and can be used to confirm potential breakouts or reversals.
How It Works (High-Level Overview)
The tool continuously monitors two primary conditions:
Price Expansion – Identifies large-bodied candles compared to recent averages.
Volume Expansion – Confirms that the move is supported by above-average trading activity.
When both conditions are present, the candle is marked:
🟢 Mega Bull – Strong bullish pressure.
🔴 Mega Bear – Strong bearish pressure.
Key Features
Automatic Timeframe Adjustment – Detection sensitivity changes based on chart timeframe, so results stay relevant from 1-minute scalps to multi-day swing setups.
Clear Visual Output – Significant candles are highlighted directly on the chart for easy recognition.
Optional Labels – Toggle on/off text labels (“Mega Bull” / “Mega Bear”) for a cleaner chart view.
Alert Integration – Set TradingView alerts to be notified immediately when a qualifying candle appears.
Universal Compatibility – Works on Forex, Commodities, Indices, Crypto, Stocks, ETFs, and Futures.
Practical Uses for Traders
As a confirmation tool when price approaches support/resistance or Fibonacci levels.
To filter low-quality setups by focusing only on moments where both price and volume confirm the move.
As part of a trend-following or breakout strategy when combined with other analysis methods.
Using the Indicator
Add the indicator to any chart and select your preferred timeframe.
Watch for highlighted candles – they indicate significant combined momentum and liquidity.
Use as a signal filter or confirmation alongside your existing trading system.
Optional: Set alerts to receive push/email/webhook notifications.
===================================
📌 MEGA BAR TRADING CHEAT SHEET
Spot Big Money. Ride the Move.
===================================
🧠 WHAT’S A MEGA BAR?
A Mega Bar is a candle so big it makes the rest look tiny — and it often means institutions are making a move.
Check the 4 Rules:
✅ Body size ≥ 2x average
✅ High relative volume (vs. last 20 bars)
✅ Closes near high (bull) or low (bear)
✅ Comes after sideways chop or price squeeze
📈 WHY IT MATTERS
Mega Bars = intent, not random spikes.
🟢 Mega Bull near support/Fib pullback → Likely accumulation
🔴 Mega Bear near resistance/Fib extension → Likely distribution or trap
🔧 HOW TO TRADE IT
1. WAIT FOR IT
No Mega Bar → No trade.
Mega Bull (big green) → BUY bias.
Mega Bear (big red) → SELL bias.
2. FIND THE SPOT
Fib levels: 61.8% / 78.6% / 138.2%
Major Support/Resistance
3. CONFIRM ON BIGGER TIMEFRAME
Example: 15M Mega Bar → Check 1H trend direction.
4. SET YOUR LEVELS
Stop-Loss:
Long → Below Mega Bull low (+0.2×ATR)
Short → Above Mega Bear high (+0.2×ATR)
Take-Profit:
Fib extensions: 127.2% / 161.8% / 261.8%
Prior highs/lows
5. RISK SMART
Risk 1–2% max per trade
Aim for 2:1+ R:R
🌍 WORKS ON:
Forex • Commodities • Stocks • Crypto • Indices

Confluence AVWAP Breakout RibbonThis advanced indicator overlays up to five Anchored VWAPs—Daily Session, Weekly, Monthly, Prior Swing High, and Prior Swing Low—directly onto your chart. It highlights a "confluence ribbon" between these levels, visually mapping the real-time price zone where institutional activity may cluster. The ribbon is colored dynamically so you can instantly spot which side of value price is breaking towards.
How it works:
• The script automatically recalculates each selected VWAP anchor in real time.
• For swing-high and swing-low anchors, it starts a new VWAP every time a new price swing is confirmed.
• You can enable or disable any anchor via the script’s Inputs panel to suit your trading style or asset.
Entry Signals:
• A long breakout (green up-arrow) triggers only on the first candle that closes above all active VWAP anchors.
• A short breakout (red down-arrow) triggers only on the first close below all active anchors.
• These signals help confirm when price makes a decisive move out of a key value zone, filtering out false or weak breakouts.
How to use:
Add the indicator to any chart or timeframe.
In the Inputs, choose which VWAP anchors to activate.
Watch for the ribbon color and width: a wider ribbon means more confluence between price zones.
Trade signals (arrows) are only painted on the first candle to break out above or below all anchors, making them easy to see and avoiding repaint.
Optional: Set up alerts using the built-in TradingView alerts for each breakout direction.
Customization:
• Toggle each anchor on/off for your preferred strategy.
• Adjust the swing length for pivots.
• Change ribbon opacity for better chart visibility.
Why it’s unique:
• Most VWAP scripts only plot a single line, or show basic session anchors.
• This indicator lets you stack up to five important VWAP anchors and requires consensus: price must clear all active anchors in one move to signal a breakout.
• The live ribbon and dynamic visuals provide clear confluence zones and breakout cues that go beyond traditional VWAP use.
Best practices:
• Works well on all major assets (stocks, crypto, FX, indices) and all chart timeframes.
• For highest reliability, use two or more anchors at a time.
• Consider using alongside your preferred trend or volatility filter.

Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator# Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator
This indicator identifies high-probability trading opportunities by tracking key intraday sessions and their breakouts while aligning them with the overall market trend direction.
## What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike standard breakout indicators that only identify when price crosses a threshold, this indicator:
- Dynamically identifies and tracks important daily sessions (default: AM 09:00-10:00 and PM 15:00-16:00)
- Determines trend direction using a triple EMA system (20/50/200)
- Shows when breakouts align with the overall trend (higher probability setups)
- Provides visual confirmation with session ranges, breakout levels, and background highlighting
- Includes a comprehensive information panel showing trend/session alignment
## How It Works
The indicator tracks two important daily sessions:
1. **AM Session**: Typically the first hour of trading (default: 09:00-10:00)
2. **PM Session**: Typically the last hour of trading (default: 15:00-16:00)
For each session, it:
- Marks the high and low range
- Establishes breakout levels above/below these ranges
- Detects when price breaks beyond these levels
- Determines if the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend
The trend is calculated using three EMAs (20, 50, 200) for reliable trend identification.
## How To Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart (works best on 5-minute timeframes)
2. Adjust session times to match your trading schedule if needed
3. Watch for breakouts above session highs (bullish) or below session lows (bearish)
4. Check the information panel to see if the breakout aligns with the trend
5. Enter trades in the direction of trend-aligned breakouts for higher probability setups
6. Set stop losses below the opposite side of the session range
## Settings
- **Session Times**: Customize AM and PM session times
- **EMA Lengths**: Adjust trend determination sensitivity
- **Visualization Options**: Toggle display of sessions, breakouts, and VWAP
- **Alert Settings**: Configure alerts for breakouts and trend-aligned conditions
This indicator is valuable for day traders and swing traders looking for objective entry points with higher probability of success.
Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) [VolumeVigilante]📈 Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) — Professional-Grade Momentum Signal
This is not your average MACD .
The Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) is a statistically enhanced momentum tool, purpose-built for serious traders and breakout hunters . By applying Z-Score normalization to the classic MACD structure, this indicator uncovers statistically significant momentum shifts , enabling cleaner reads on price extremes, trend continuation, and potential reversals.
💡 Why It Matters
The classic MACD is powerful — but raw momentum values can be noisy and relative , especially on volatile assets like BTC/USD . By transforming the MACD line, signal line, and histogram into Z-scores , we anchor these signals in statistical context . This makes the Institutional MACD:
✔️ Timeframe-agnostic and asset-normalized
✔️ Ideal for spotting true breakouts , not false flags
✔️ A reliable tool for detecting momentum divergence and exhaustion
🧪 Key Features
✅ Full Z-Score normalization (MACD, Signal, Histogram)
✅ Highlighted ±Z threshold bands for overbought/oversold zones
✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.
📢 Trade Smart. Trade Vigilantly.

PumpC Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Stretch RangePumpC ORB Stretch
The PumpC ORB Stretch is a volatility-based indicator that helps traders identify potential breakout zones by analyzing how price typically behaves around the open. This tool is inspired by concepts introduced by Toby Crabel in his well-known book “Day Trading with Short-Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout.”
Rather than predicting market direction, this indicator highlights areas where price is likely to expand based on recent volatility. It is designed for traders who prefer dynamic, data-driven breakout levels over static support and resistance zones.
What Is the "Stretch"?
In Toby Crabel’s framework, the Stretch is the average of the smaller of two price moves:
The distance from the open to the high of the bar
The distance from the open to the low of the bar
This smaller value captures the “quiet side” of the candle and reflects recent price compression. Averaged over multiple periods (commonly 10 daily bars), it creates a baseline to assess how far price may move away from the open under typical market conditions.
How the Indicator Works
The PumpC ORB Stretch follows this process:
Uses a higher timeframe (such as daily) to calculate the open, high, and low.
For each bar, measures the smaller of the two distances: open to high or open to low.
Applies a moving average to the result over a user-defined number of bars (default is 10).
Multiplies the average stretch by customizable levels (e.g., 0.382, 1.0, 2.0).
Plots breakout levels above and below the open of the selected timeframe.
The result is a set of adaptive levels that expand or contract with market volatility.
Customization Options
Stretch Timeframe: Choose the timeframe used for stretch calculation (default: Daily).
Stretch Length: Set the number of bars to include in the moving average.
Breakout Levels: Enable or disable individual levels and define multipliers.
Color Settings: Customize colors for each range level for easy visual distinction.
Plot Style: Circular markers are used to reduce chart clutter and improve readability.
How to Use It
Use plotted levels to anticipate possible breakouts from the open.
Adjust stretch length to reflect short-term or longer-term volatility trends.
Combine this tool with momentum indicators, volume, or price action for confirmation.
Use levels to help guide stop placement or profit targets in breakout strategies.
Important Notes
This script is based on an interpretation of Crabel’s concepts and is not affiliated with Crabel Capital or the original author.
The indicator does not predict direction; it is a tool for context and structure.
It is recommended that users test and validate this tool in a simulated environment before applying it to live trading.

Advanced Support & Resistance [Alpha Extract]🔶 AE - Advanced Support & Resistance
A sophisticated yet user-friendly tool designed to enhance your trading analysis by accurately identifying and plotting key support and resistance levels. Built on a unique pivot-based detection algorithm, this indicator provides clear visual cues in real time, helping traders stay ahead of potential market reversals and breakouts.
🔶 Pivot-Based Detection
Leverages pivot highs and lows along with a configurable threshold to filter out overlapping levels. This method helps the script stand out from simpler support/resistance indicators by focusing on the most significant price zones.
🔶 Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Pulls higher-timeframe data to ensure that critical levels remain visible and properly scaled, regardless of your current chart view. This prevents distortion and offers a more comprehensive perspective of market structure.
🔶 Break Signal Alerts
Generates breakout or breakdown signals whenever the price crosses above or below a detected level—labeled as RB (Resistance Break) or SB (Support Break)—so traders can quickly spot shifts in momentum or trend.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune sensitivity and appearance—adjust pivot bar settings, lookback periods, thresholds, and the maximum number of plotted levels to match your trading style and preferences.
// === USER INPUTS ===
pivotLeft = input.int(15, "Left Pivot Bars", minval=1)
pivotRight = input.int(15, "Right Pivot Bars", minval=1)
lookback = input.int(200, "Lookback Period", minval=50)
threshold = input.float(0.2, "Price Threshold %", minval=0.1, step=0.1)
maxLevels = input.int(10, "Maximum Levels", minval=1)
📊How It Works
🔶 Identifying Pivots
The script scans for pivot highs and lows within a user-defined range of bars (Left Pivot Bars and Right Pivot Bars). Each pivot is evaluated against a proximity threshold, ensuring that similar nearby levels are combined into a single zone rather than cluttering the chart.
// === SUPPORT & RESISTANCE DETECTION ===
ph = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeft, pivotRight)
pl = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeft, pivotRight)
🔶Automatic Updates & Removal
Levels that remain untested or break too frequently are automatically removed based on the configured lookback period, keeping your chart focused on the most relevant support/resistance zones.
🔶Fixed Scaling
Through the use of higher-timeframe anchoring, the indicator maintains consistent plot lines that won’t distort when you zoom in or out. This approach ensures you always see crucial levels clearly.
🔶Entry and Exit Points
Pinpoint potential entry and exit opportunities based on how price interacts with these zones.
🔶Risk Management
Place stop-loss and take-profit orders around these levels to manage trade risk more effectively.
🔶Trend Confirmation
Observe how price respects or breaks levels to confirm ongoing trends or detect early signs of reversal.
🔶Sensitivity Adjustment
Control pivot bar width (pivotLeft and pivotRight) and the proximity threshold to focus on major or minor price zones.
🔶Visualization Options
Adjust line colors, styles, and thickness to align with your charting preferences.
🔶Maximum Levels
Limit the number of displayed levels to keep your chart clean and free of unnecessary clutter.
ORB with ATR Trailing SL [Bluechip Algos]This is a simple ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator that not only signals breakout directions based on the opening session range but also includes trailing stop levels to manage ongoing trades. Instead of regular fixed Stop loss, we use ATR indicator (ATR based SL) to trail the stop loss that might help in maximizing the profitable trades. This helps especially during the trending days where market moves unidirectionally.
About the Indicator
Opening Range Identification: The indicator defines an initial session timeframe and captures the highest and lowest prices during this period.
Breakout Signals: It signals potential entry points when the price crosses these range boundaries.
Trailing Stop Calculation: Customizable trailing stop-loss based on ATR percentage, helping users lock in profits.
Features
Session Customization: User-defined session for setting the opening range.
Entry Signal Customization: Allows configuration for breakouts on either a closing basis or upon touching the level.
Automatic Stop-Loss Adjustments: Dynamic trailing stop levels that adapt to both long and short entries.
Visual Display: Highlights breakout levels and plots lines representing stop-loss levels.
Understanding the Indicator
Range Calculation: After defining the session, the high and low of the session are locked. The high serves as the upper breakout boundary, and the low as the lower boundary.
Signals (Buy and Sell): The indicator uses crossover conditions:
Buy Signal ("B") when price crosses above the ORB high.
Sell Signal ("S") when price crosses below the ORB low.
Trail Stop Calculation: When a signal is triggered, a trailing stop level is set and updates as the trade progresses:
Long positions have a stop-loss based on a percentage below the last closing price.
Short positions have a stop-loss based on a percentage above the last closing price.
Input Parameters
Session Time (ORB Session Time): Start and end times for setting the ORB range.

🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
The Low Volatility Box Breaks indicator offers several customization options:
Adjust the volatility length to change the period for highest/lowest price calculations
Modify the volatility level to fine-tune the sensitivity of low volatility detection
Adjust the box height multiplier to change the size of volatility boxes
By fine-tuning these settings, traders can adapt the indicator to various market conditions and personal trading strategies.
The Low Volatility Range Breaks indicator provides a unique approach to identifying potential breakout opportunities following periods of consolidation. By visually representing low volatility periods and tracking subsequent price movements, it offers traders a powerful tool for spotting high-probability trade setups.
This indicator can be particularly useful for traders focusing on breakout strategies, mean reversion tactics, or those looking to enter trades at the beginning of new trends. The combination of visual cues (boxes and breakout labels) and quantitative data (probability counters) provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics during and after low volatility periods.
As with all technical indicators, it's recommended to use the Low Volatility Range Breaks indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and within the context of a well-defined trading strategy. While this indicator can provide valuable insights into potential breakouts, it should be considered alongside other factors such as overall market trends, volume, and fundamental analysis when making trading decisions.
TrendLine ScythesTrendline Scythes is a script designed to automatically detect and draw special curved trendlines, resembling scythes or blades, based on pivotal points in price action. These trendlines adapt to the volatility of the market, providing a unique perspective on trend dynamics.
🔲 Methodology
Traditional trendlines connect consecutive pivot points on a price chart, providing a linear representation of trend direction. However, this script employs a distinctive methodology by automatically detecting price pivots and then calculating special curved trendlines based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the price. This introduces a curvature to the trendlines, resembling scythes, offering a unique way to interpret market trends.
🔲 Auto Breakout and Target Detection
Trendline Scythes includes features for automatic breakout detection, signaling potential trend changes. Additionally, the script assists in target detection, helping traders set realistic and data-driven profit-taking levels based on market volatility and user adjustment.
🔲 Utility
Trend Confirmation - Use Trendline Scythes to confirm existing trends by observing how price interacts with the curved trendlines.
Breakout Signals - Auto-detection of breakouts adds a proactive element to your trading strategy, helping you stay ahead of potential trend reversals.
Target Setting - Utilize the script to set profit-taking targets based on volatility, aligning with the current market conditions.
🔲 Settings
Pivot Length - Swing detection length
Scythe Length - Adjusts the length of the scythes blade
Sensitivity - Controls how restrained the target calculation is, higher values will result in tighter targets.
🔲 Alerts

Breakdown
Target Reached
Target Invalidated
As well as the option to trigger 'any alert' call.
Trendline Scythes is a versatile tool combining the benefits of traditional trendlines with the dynamic adaptability of curved lines for a unique approach to trend analysis.
Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout [The_lurker]Indicator Overview:
The "Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout Indicator" is designed for use on the TradingView platform. Its primary function is to identify potential reversal candles using volume and price criteria and to mark significant breakout points. This tool is particularly valuable for traders who incorporate reversal patterns and volume analysis in their trading strategies.
Detailed Functionality:
Customizable Label Color:
Traders can choose the color of the labels that mark breakout points, allowing for personalization and better visibility on different chart backgrounds.
Volume Multiplier Input:
Users can set a 'Volume Multiplier' to define what constitutes significant trading volume. This multiplier is used to compare the current candle's volume with that of the previous candle. A higher volume on the current candle, as defined by this multiplier, is indicative of a significant trading activity.
Reversal Candle Criteria:
The script identifies a candle as a reversal candle if it meets the following conditions:
The closing price of the candle is lower than its opening price, indicating a bearish sentiment.
The trading volume of the candle is greater than the product of the previous candle's volume and the user-set volume multiplier. This implies increased trading activity during the formation of this candle.
The length of the candle's lower tail is greater than its body, suggesting a rejection of lower prices and potential bullish sentiment building up.
Breakout Identification and Marking:
Upon detecting a reversal candle, the indicator draws lines at the high and low of this candle.
These lines represent potential breakout levels. A breakout is confirmed if the price crosses above the high (indicating a bullish breakout) or below the low (indicating a bearish breakout) of the reversal candle.
When a breakout occurs, the indicator places an arrow marker at the breakout point. The direction of the arrow (upwards or downwards) and its color (customizable by the user) indicate the nature of the breakout.
Breakout Alerts:
The indicator includes an alert condition that notifies traders when a breakout occurs. This feature helps traders to quickly react to potential trading opportunities.
Practical Application:
The indicator is best used in markets with distinct volume patterns, as volume is a key component of its analysis.
It can be combined with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines or moving averages, for additional confirmation of trading signals.
Traders should consider adjusting the volume multiplier based on the typical volume characteristics of the specific asset they are analyzing.
Conclusion:
This "Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout Indicator" is a robust tool that aids traders in identifying potential reversals and breakouts with an emphasis on volume analysis. It's customizable and alert-enabled features make it a versatile addition to a trader's toolkit, suitable for various trading styles and market conditions.

TrendCylinder (Expo)█ Overview
The TrendCylinder is a dynamic trading indicator designed to capture trends and volatility in an asset's price. It provides a visualization of the current trend direction and upper and lower bands that adapt to volatility changes. By using this indicator, traders can identify potential breakouts or support and resistance levels. While also gauging the volatility to generate trading ranges. The indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders navigating various market conditions by providing a sophisticated blend of trend-following and volatility-based metrics.
█ How It Works
Trend Line: The trend line is constructed using the closing prices with the influence of volatility metrics. The trend line reacts to sudden price changes based on the trend factor and step settings.
Upper & Lower Bands: These bands are not static; they are dynamically adjusted with the calculated standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR) metrics to offer a more flexible, real-world representation of potential price movements, offering an idea of the market's likely trading range.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends
The trend line can be used to identify the current market trend. If the price is above the trend line, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price is below the trend line, it indicates a bearish trend.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands (including the trend line) dynamically change with market volatility, acting as moving targets of support and resistance. This helps set up stop-loss or take-profit levels with a higher degree of accuracy.
Breakout vs. Reversion Strategies
Price movements beyond the bands could signify strong trends, making it ideal for breakout strategies.
Fakeouts
If the price touches one of the bands and reverses direction, it could be a fakeout. Traders may choose to trade against the breakout in such scenarios.
█ Settings
Volatility Period: Defines the look-back period for calculating volatility. Higher values adapt the bands more slowly, whereas lower values adapt them more quickly.
Trend Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity of the trend line. Higher values produce a smoother line, while lower values make it more reactive to price changes.
Trend Step: Controls the pace at which the trend line adjusts to sudden price movements. Higher values lead to a slower adjustment and a smoother line, while lower values result in quicker adjustments.

Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v3 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots the closest "round" price levels above and below current price, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
The calculation done here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law .
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
IMPORTANT: Please enable "Scale price chart only" in the chart's scale's options, as otherwise major levels may make the chart's scale very small and hard to read.
How it works
At any time, there are 3 levels of strength (1 leftmost digit, 2 leftmost digits, 3 leftmost digits) represented by different sizes, and 3 directional levels for each of these strengths (level above, level below, and half-level) represented by different colors and positions, around current price.
Indeed, contrary to other similar price levels scripts, we do not plot ALL price levels at all times, because otherwise the chart becomes wayyy too cluttered, and also it's highly processing intensive to plot so many lines. So we here use a dynamical approach: we plot only the relevant levels, the closest ones according to current price.
Hence, when a level disappears, it does not mean that it does not exist anymore, but simply that we are not drawing it right now because it is not pertinent for the current price movement (ie, too far away).
Breakouts can be detected in two different ways depending on if SMA is set to a value higher than 1 or not: if SMA == 1, then there is no smoothing, so the levels adapt instantaneously to the current price, so to detect breakout, you should refer to the levels at the previous tick and whether they were broken by current tick's price; if SMA > 1, then there is some smoothing, and so the levels will stay in-place even if there is a breakout, so it's easier to spot breakouts without having to look at the previous ticks, but on the other hand you won't see the new levels for the new price range until after a few more ticks for the smoothing window to adapt. Hence, by default, smoothing is disabled, so that you can see the currently pertinent levels at all time, even right after or during a breakout.
By default, the strong above level is in green, strong below level is in red, medium above level is in blue, medium below level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the above/below/half levels relatively to the current price.
Indeed, "half-levels" are also displayed (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This was made because otherwise the gap between two levels was too big, especially for the strongest levels (eg, there was no major level between 20000 and 30000, but with a half-step we also get a half-level at 25000, and empirically price tends to respect these half levels - I also tried quarter levels but empirically the results were not good). In addition to this hard-coded half-level, you can also create more subdivisions (eg, quarter levels) by setting the simple moving average to a value higher than 1.
The script can be made to run on the daily timeframe whatever the current chart's timeframe is, to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement. But by default, the chart resolution is used, because I empirically found that the levels found with this indicator work on all time resolutions quite well.
The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
How to read
Focust first on bigger dotted levels, they are stronger and more likely to cause a rebound or a major event or price to stay at this level.
Remember that it's not enough to just look at levels, the context is important, because levels have various effects depending on current price movement: if price is above a level, the level is a support on which price can rebound; if price is below a level, the level is a resistance on which price can rebound (or break); and finally sometimes price also stays hovering around a level for some time.
Levels closer to 9 are less weaker, and levels closer to 0 are stronger, according to Zipf law. This is now reflected since v3 in the transparency, levels that are closer to 9 will be more transparent.
The switch in color for the same level illustrates how a level switches from being a support to a resistance and inversely. Eg, if a major level turns from green to red, then it changed from being a resistance (above) to a support (below).
As is well known in trading, longer standing levels are stronger. This indicator provides a direct illustration: in practice, the number of consecutive dots on the same line influences the strength of the level: the longer the chain of dots, the more you can expect this price level to be significant. The length does not mean the level will necessarily hold, but that other traders are likely to monitor if it holds, and if not then price will break down. Hence, longer levels are good spots to place stop losses, or to enter trades depending on your strategy. In general, a single dot is not enough to consider a level significant, but 2 or more is a good enough level, and 10+ is a strong level. Intuitively, this makes sense, and is what pro traders do: the longer a level is tested, the stronger it is. This indicator can visually represent this intuition and allows to use it as a more systematic trading signal.
Motivation
I initially made the first version of the PsychoLevels indicator mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Personally, although initially I did not believe an automated tool would work well for this purpose, I could now empirically verify that it is quite reliable for the purpose of detecting levels, and so I use it all the time to find the levels automatically and help me monitor them like a hawk, so that I only have to draw uber major levels, the ones that last between cycles and that are hard to autodetect, but otherwise all daily/weekly levels are usually covered. However, trendlines must still be drawn manually or with another indicator (but note that up to now I have found none that worked well enough), as PsychoLevels only draws levels (ie, horizontal lines, not oblique ones!).
Differences with the previous version PsychoLevels v2
price levels now have a transparency according to their importance for the human brain: numbers closer to 9 are weaker, and numbers closer to 0 are stronger and represent a major psychological threshold (eg, that's why prices marked as $9.99 sell better than $10.00). This option can be disabled to get the exact same behavior as v2.
modularized and typed code
PsychoLevels v2 can be found here:
Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading
B4Signals Indicator Premium Addon SqueezeB4 Squeeze is a chop zone indicator that finds potential breakouts in Realtime. It filters price action to Identify and draw a squeeze threshold (chop zone) live on your upper chart. It identifies both Squeeze Zones and Breakouts/Breakdowns.
How it works?
- The script finds highest/lowest bars during the SQZ according to the ”B4Signals Indicator“.
- By using the direction and highest/lowest bar info it calculates SQZ Zones in realtime .
- The Indicator helps you stay out of the chop during the SQZ and allows you to exploit explosive moves when it breaks out.
- When price exits the SQZ threshold, price will usually explode up or down changing the color of the box to indicate breakout direction.
- Then SQZ Zone extends automatically if there is no breakout.
The One Trader Toolkit - Open AccessThis script is the open version of my existing invite-only script of the same name and has been opened for access to the community to use, but not modify or clone in any way.
This has been done as the invite-only script cannot be changed back to a public script and vice-versa, keeping in line with Tradingview House Rules.
The code is based on a full strategy that has been explained in detail as follows:
// Step 1:
// We will consider the 200ema a standard to assess the average price over the longer term.
// If the current price on the daily chart is seen above the 200ema, we will consider that the stock is in a long term uptrend.
// If the current price on the daily chart is seen below the 200ema, we will consider that the stock is in a long term downtrend.
// In order to assess the long term trend, a band is plotted between the CLOSE (Average price), HIGH (Average High Price), LOW (Average Low Price) of the last 200 days.
// This band has been color coded for easy visual recognition. Green fill between ema close and ema high. Red fill between ema close and ema low.
// The methodology explains that the trader should have a long bias when the price is above the green part of the band and a short bias while price is below the red part of the band.
// Step 2:
// Now we come to a lower timeframe analysis with the 200ema moving average on the hourly timeframe.
// This is marked by a very distinct solid blue line which cannot be missed.
// If the price is still above this moving average and correlates with the higher timeframe trend in step 1, then we will continue our analysis.
// Otherwise, the stock is not ready to be filtered down and we will move to another stock.
// Step 3:
// On the same hourly timeframe, we will continue further analysing the position of a red 50ema line as compared to the same blue 200ema line or a separetely plotted gray 200ema line.
// If the 50ema is above the blue or the gray 200ema line (and in correlation with trend in steps 1-3), then the stock is believed to be bullish.
// If the 50ema is below the blue or the gray 200ema line (and in correlation with trend in steps 1-3), then the stock is believed to be bearish.
// Step 4:
// After multiple confirmation of a continuing trend, we will try to ascertain a good entry point.
// On the one hour timeframe, we will apply the Phase Changer.
// Phase Changer configuration is derived from a common setup which includes the 8ema and 20ema lines.
// I have implemented it in the Indian stock market setup with an added theory that we ignore the Phase Changer position on any timeframe higher than hourly timeframe.
// So the Phase Changer is not only an indication of the continuing trend, but also a great indicator of what the price is trying to achieve through its interaction with the lines.
// If 8ema is above the 20ema on the hourly chart, then the stock is believed to be bullish.
// If 8ema is below the 20ema on the hourly chart, then the stock is believed to be bearish.
// The same will be done on 15 minutes timeframe.
// In either setup, if there is a pullback and price is touching any of the two ema lines and eventually gets rejected towards the continuing trend, then it is an indication of a good entry at the failure of the pullback.
// Step 5:
// After confirmation through Daily, Hourly and 15 minutes timeframes, we will now come to the execution (5 Minute) timeframe.
// Apply the breakfast range. This is the range formed during the first hour of trading.
// The high of the first hour and the low of the first hour form the breakfast breakout.
// This method is also widely known as Open Range Breakout (ORB).
// The breakfast range is commonly used for stock indices only on a Monday morning, we use it for all days of the week and mostly on stocks.
// If the breakout is consistent with the trend that we have been confirming since step 1, we will enter the trade.
// Step 6:
// An additional daily range has been plotted for those who would like to trade the breakout of the daily range.
// This is the sum of the open price of the day the range of the previous day.
// The green line is used as resistance and the red line is used as support.
// Any breakout of those lines will be considered a strong continuation of the trend, mostly until the end of the trading session.
// Miscellaneous
// The first hour of the trading day is marked yellow with a black solid bar marked at the end of the first hour.
// All trades will be taken only after 10:20am.
// Stoploss Settings
// We will be calculating stoploss with the help of the ATR values.
// I have defined two stop loss levels, one for safe traders and the other for aggressive traders.
// Safe traders will select the safe option in a long trade or short trade respectively and mark the stoploss indicated at the time of taking the breakout entry.
// Aggressive traders on the other hand will select the aggressive stop loss option in long or short trades respectively and mark the stoploss indicated at the time of taking the breakout entry.
Litt Opening Range BreakoutThe Litt ORB, Opening Range Breakout, is a tool used by many intraday traders to take advantage of short-term momentum. This script plots extensions based on the opening range and then color candles depending on where the closing price of that candle is. The opening range is defined by either the first 30 or 60 minutes of a new trading day. During that time the opening ranges are set. If the opening range time has passed and we start to break above the Opening Range High that is a good indication that a Trend Day to the upside could be forming. When a stock takes out the range high from the first 30 or 60 minutes this is called an Opening Range Breakout.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
You can see the ORH and ORL (Opening Range) lines on the chart. The other lines are extension lines from the Opening Range. These are used as price targets for the end of Opening Range breakouts.
The candles are colored as follows.
If we are above the ORH then we use Bull Color 1.
If we are below the ORL then we use Bull Color 2.
If we are above the ORM, Opening Range Mid or the halfway point between the ORH and the ORL, we color Bull Color 2.
If we are below the ORM then we color Bear Color 2.
If the current time is still within the Opening Range then we color the Opening Range Color.
OR = Opening Range
ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low
ORM = Opening Range Mid (Half-way between ORH and ORL)
TradeChartist Volatility Trader ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader is a Price Volatility based Trend indicator that uses simple to visualize Volatility steps and a Volatility Ribbon to trade volatility breakouts and price action based on lookback length.
===================================================================================================================
Features of ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader
======================================
The Volatility steps consists of an Upper band, a Lower band and a Mean price line that are used for detecting the breakouts and also used in plotting the Volatility Ribbon based on the price action. The Mean Line is colour coded based on Bull/Bear Volatility and exhaustion based on Price action trend.
In addition to the system of Volatility Steps and Volatility Ribbon, ™TradeChartist Volatility Trader also plots Bull and Bear zones based on high probability volatility breakouts and divides the chart into Bull and Bear trade zones.
Use of External Filter is also possible by connecting an Oscillatory (like RSI, MACD, Stoch or any Oscillator) or a non-Oscillatory (Moving Average, Supertrend, any price scale based plots) Signal to confirm the Bull and Bear Trade zones. When the indicator detects the Volatility breakouts, it also checks if the connected external signal agrees with the trend before generating the Bull/Bear entries and plotting the trade zones.
Alerts can be created for Long and Short entries using Once per bar close .
===================================================================================================================
Note:
Higher the lookback length, higher the Risk/Reward from the trade zones.
This indicator does not repaint , but on the alert creation, a potential repaint warning would appear as the script uses security function. Users need not worry as this is normal on scripts that employs security functions. For trust and confidence using the indicator, users can do bar replay to check the plots/trade entries time stamps to make sure the plots and entries stay in the same place.
™TradeChartist Volatility Trader can be connected to ™TradeChartist Plug and Trade to generate Trade Entries, Targets etc by connecting Volatility Trader's Trend Identifier as Oscillatory Signal to Plug and Trade.

Magnetic Zones v1.1 BetaMagnetic Zones v1.1 Beta
This is one of the most powerful and effective indicator which I personally use for Intraday.
It works well for trending stocks and trending days.
What are the Zones?
The zones are basically Retracement and Reversal Zones. The price will take a halt at this zones. So it will be easy to take an entry.
How to use?
Labels:
Pivot = P
Major Zones = R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3
Minor Zones = R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, S0.5, S1.5, S2.5
Previous Day High & Low = PDH, PDL
Breakout:
Opens between Previous Day High or Low and R1 or S1 Zone and taking retracement at the zone can result in a breakout.
Entry Time:
No Entry: 0 to 15min. Wait for the early Algo rush to settle down. Just go through the shortlisted stocks or top gainers and top losers.
Risky Entry: 15min to 30min. It is the right or early time to participate in the beginning of a rally. But, recommended only for experienced, disciplined and planned traders.
Moderate Risk: 30min to 45min
Safe Entry: After 45min to 1hr
Stock Selection Tip:
Use Expanded Floor Pivots to spot Narrow Range stocks.
Entry Tip:
Use Opening Range Breakout (15, 30, 45 or 1hr) to spot false shoot ups.
Entry:
After the retracement on or closer to the zones.
If the retracement happens in between spaces of the zones expect next retracement at the next in between space. Imagine the levels accordingly.
Retracement is the right time to make an entry with minimum stoploss.
Stoploss:
Just below the longest candle which touches the zone.
Target:
If it is a trending stock the price will move easily from one major zone to another major zone.
If the zones are wider on a particular day use the minor zones as target.
Consider the historical support and resistance, highs and lows to confirm the entry or exit.
Indicator Features:
Inclusion of 2nd and 3rd zones: Helpful to identify the target zone and to participation in a major rally.
Clean and cluster free look
Shows only required zones
Hide historical levels
Previous day High and Low levels
Multi time-frame
Caution:
Don't solely depend on this indicator. Always use this with other analyzing tools or methods for more confirmation.
