SemaforThis is the 4 Level Semafor indicator with Daily Open Line and Average Session Range. Also on the chart is the EMA Ribbon indicator.
Credit to:
Devlucem for the Semafor indicator
Quantvue for the Average Session Range
Shusterivi for the Daily Open Line
MYNAMEISBRANDON for the EMA Ribbon
The Semafors are based on the ZigZag indicator and show higher highs/lower lows of a specified period, determined by the user and applied in settings.
The default periods I use are:
10 period (hidden on this chart)
50 period-blue dots
250 period-white dots
615 period-black dots
Just as the ZigZag indicator will recalculate so to will the semafors, as additional candles are built. The semafor indicator is never to be used as a stand alone signal. It must be combined with other indicators to be used effectively. What we look for are the semafor patterns of a large white dot followed by a 1st blue dot opposite of the white. Then a 2nd blue dot in agreement with the white dot. In theory, the 2nd blue dot is seen as confirmation of the establishment of the white semafor..
When combined with Daily Open Line, ADR (Average Sessions Range), EMA cross and VWAP anchored to your 250 semafors, your odds are greatly increased. Add to that the knowledge of basic market structure and the wisdom that comes from patience and you have a very powerful weapon.
The Daily Open...I trade the M1 chart and also draw a H4 Open Line on my chart for the smaller time frames. Price will tend to trade away from the Daily Open Line. In many cases until it reaches certain levels...Fib, Gann, ADR, etc., then runs through a pullback cycle. I like the ADR levels. The ADR can give clues when entering a consolidation phase, ie trading between the buy side and sell side 15% levels. Trading away from the Daily Open(or H4 open) along with breaking the 15% level, while in agreement with a semafor pattern is a good sign.
Add to that confluence the agreement of your MA cross and the 250 semafor Anchored VWAP and you have a solid signal to help determine your actions. This trend following layout will work on any time frame. I just really like the M1 for its precision, not for crazy back and forth all day. With the exception of some strong pull back signals, I don't enter any more trades on the M1 than on M5, 15 or 30.
This is based on and follows the teachings of Xard and his trading strategy. Just as I don't want to take anyone's credit for these indicators, I won't take credit for what I have been taught either.
The trader can obviously use their favorite MA cross indicator. But this one is visually beautiful AND displays the current time frame and 1 time frame higher on the chart...awesome!
Of note, I do run into trouble at times with the 615 period semafor. I have been told it is because TradingView has trouble with extended period indicators. As a matter of fact, I would like a much higher period for my biggest semafor. I would like it set at 1250, but that seems to be a no starter. If anyone has a solution, that would be welcomed news.

Bayesian TrendEnglish Description (primary)
1. Overview
This script implements a Naive Bayesian classifier to estimate the probability of an upcoming bullish, bearish, or neutral move. It combines multiple indicators—RSI, MACD histogram, EMA price difference in ATR units, ATR level vs. its average, and Volume vs. its average—to calculate likelihoods for each market direction. Each indicator is “binned” (categorized into discrete zones) and assigned conditional probabilities for bullish/bearish/neutral scenarios. The script then normalizes these probabilities and paints bars in green if bullish is most likely, red if bearish is most likely, or blue if neutral is most likely. A small table is also displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing real-time probabilities.
2. How it works
Indicator Calculations: The script calculates RSI, MACD (line and histogram), EMA, ATR, and Volume metrics.
Binning: Each metric is converted into a discrete category (e.g., low, medium, high). For example, RSI < 30 is binned as “low,” while RSI > 70 is binned as “high.”
Conditional Probabilities: User-defined tables specify the conditional probabilities of each bin under three hypotheses (Up, Down, Neutral).
Naive Bayesian Formula: The script multiplies the relevant conditional probabilities, normalizes them, and derives the final probabilities (Up, Down, or Neutral).
Visualization:
Bar Colors: Bars are green when the Up probability exceeds 50%, red for Down, and blue otherwise.
Table: Displays numeric probabilities of Up, Down, and Neutral in percentage terms.
3. How to use it
Add the script to your chart.
Observe the colored bars:
Green suggests a higher probability for bullish movement.
Red suggests a higher probability for bearish movement.
Blue indicates a higher probability of sideways or uncertain conditions.
Check the table in the top-right corner to see exact probabilities (Up/Down/Neutral).
Use the input settings to adjust thresholds (RSI, MACD, Volume, etc.), define alert conditions (e.g., when Up probability crosses 50%), and decide whether to trigger alerts on bar close or in real-time.
4. Originality and usefulness
Originality: This script uniquely applies a Naive Bayesian approach to a blend of classic and volume-based indicators. It demonstrates how different indicator “zones” can be combined to produce probabilistic insights.
Usefulness: Traders can interpret the probability breakdown to gauge the script’s bias. Unlike single indicators, this approach synthesizes several signals, potentially offering a more holistic perspective on market conditions.
5. Limitations
The conditional probabilities are manually assigned and may not reflect actual market behavior across all instruments or timeframes.
Results depend on the user’s choice of thresholds and indicator settings.
Like any indicator, past performance does not guarantee future results. Always confirm signals with additional analysis.
6. Disclaimer
This script is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, and you should make decisions based on your own analysis. Neither the script’s author nor TradingView is liable for any financial losses.
Русское описание (Russian translation, optional)
Этот индикатор реализует наивный Байесовский классификатор для оценки вероятности предстоящего роста (Up), падения (Down) или бокового движения (Neutral). Он комбинирует несколько индикаторов—RSI, гистограмму MACD, разницу цены и EMA в единицах ATR, уровень ATR относительно своего среднего значения и объём относительно своего среднего—чтобы вычислить вероятности для каждого направления рынка. Каждый индикатор делится на «зоны» (low, mid, high), которым приписаны условные вероятности для бычьего/медвежьего/нейтрального исхода. Скрипт нормирует эти вероятности и раскрашивает бары в зелёный, красный или синий цвет в зависимости от того, какая вероятность выше. Также в правом верхнем углу отображается таблица с текущими значениями вероятностей.

TradFi Fundamentals: Enhanced Macroeconomic Momentum Trading Introduction
The "Enhanced Momentum with Advanced Normalization and Smoothing" indicator is a tool that combines traditional price momentum with a broad range of macroeconomic factors. I introduced the basic version from a research paper in my last script. This one leverages not only the price action of a security but also incorporates key economic data—such as GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, consumer confidence, industrial production, and market volatility (VIX)—to create a comprehensive, normalized momentum score.
Previous indicator
Explanation
In plain terms, the indicator calculates a raw momentum value based on the change in price over a defined lookback period. It then normalizes this momentum, along with several economic indicators, using a method chosen by the user (options include simple, exponential, or weighted moving averages, as well as a median absolute deviation (MAD) approach). Each normalized component is assigned a weight reflecting its relative importance, and these weighted values are summed to produce an overall momentum score.
To reduce noise, the combined momentum score can be further smoothed using a user-selected method.
Signals
For generating trade signals, the indicator offers two modes:
Zero Cross Mode: Signals occur when the smoothed momentum line crosses the zero threshold.
Zone Mode: Overbought and oversold boundaries (which are user defined) provide signals when the momentum line crosses these preset limits.
Definition of the Settings
Price Momentum Settings:
Price Momentum Lookback: The number of days used to compute the percentage change in price (default 50 days).
Normalization Period (Price Momentum): The period over which the price momentum is normalized (default 200 days).
Economic Data Settings:
Normalization Period (Economic Data): The period used to normalize all economic indicators (default 200 days).
Normalization Method: Choose among SMA, EMA, WMA, or MAD to standardize both price and economic data. If MAD is chosen, a multiplier factor is applied (default is 1.4826).
Smoothing Options:
Apply Smoothing: A toggle to enable further smoothing of the combined momentum score.
Smoothing Period & Method: Define the period and type (SMA, EMA, or WMA) used to smooth the final momentum score.
Signal Generation Settings:
Signal Mode: Select whether signals are based on a zero-line crossover or by crossing user-defined overbought/oversold (OB/OS) zones.
OB/OS Zones: Define the upper and lower boundaries (default upper zones at 1.0 and 2.0, lower zones at -1.0 and -2.0) for zone-based signals.
Weights:
Each component (price momentum, GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, consumer confidence, industrial production, and VIX) has an associated weight that determines its contribution to the overall score. These can be adjusted to reflect different market views or risk preferences.
Visual Aspects
The indicator plots the smoothed combined momentum score as a continuous blue line against a dotted zero-line reference. If the Zone signal mode is selected, the indicator also displays the upper and lower OB/OS boundaries as horizontal lines (red for overbought and green for oversold). Buy and sell signals are marked by small labels ("B" for buy and "S" for sell) that appear at the bottom or top of the chart when the score crosses the defined thresholds, allowing traders to quickly identify potential entry or exit points.
Conclusion
This enhanced indicator provides traders with a robust approach to momentum trading by integrating traditional price-based signals with a suite of macroeconomic indicators. Its normalization and smoothing techniques help reduce noise and mitigate the effects of outliers, while the flexible signal generation modes offer multiple ways to interpret market conditions. Overall, this tool is designed to deliver a more nuanced perspective on market momentum.
AO/AC Trading Zones Strategy [Skyrexio] Overview
AO/AC Trading Zones Strategy leverages the combination of Awesome Oscillator (AO), Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator (AC), Williams Fractals, Williams Alligator and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Combination of AO and AC is used for creating so-called trading zones to create the signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over. In some special cases strategy uses AO and AC combination to trail profit (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Both AC and AO shall print two consecutive increasing values. At the price candle close which corresponds to this condition algorithm opens the first long trade with 10% of capital.
4. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
5. If AO and AC both continue printing the rising values strategy opens the long trade on each candle close with 10% of capital while number of opened trades reaches 5.
6. If AO and AC both has printed 5 rising values in a row algorithm close all trades if candle's low below the low of the 5-th candle with rising AO and AC values in a row.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation).
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. We'll begin with the simplest: the EMA.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that assigns greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current market changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This tool is widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. The EMA is calculated as follows:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy, the EMA acts as a long-term trend filter. For instance, long trades are considered only when the price closes above the EMA (default: 100-period). This increases the likelihood of entering trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
In this strategy if the most recent up fractal breakout occurs above the Alligator's teeth and follows the last down fractal breakout below the teeth, the algorithm identifies an uptrend. Long trades can be opened during this phase if a signal aligns. If the price breaks a down fractal below the teeth line during an uptrend, the strategy assumes the uptrend has ended and closes all open long trades.
By combining the EMA as a long-term trend filter with the Alligator and fractals as short-term filters, this approach increases the likelihood of opening profitable trades while staying aligned with market dynamics.
Now let's talk about the trading zones concept and its signals. To understand this we need to briefly introduce what is AO and AC. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends.
The formula for AO is as follows:
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
The Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator, introduced by Bill Williams, measures the rate of change in market momentum. It highlights shifts in the driving force of price movements and helps traders spot early signs of trend changes. The AC Indicator is particularly useful for identifying whether the current momentum is accelerating or decelerating, which can indicate potential reversals or continuations. For AC calculation we shall use the AO calculated above is the following formula:
AC = AO − SMA5(AO) , where SMA5(AO)is the 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Awesome Oscillator
When the AC is above the zero line and rising, it suggests accelerating upward momentum.
When the AC is below the zero line and falling, it indicates accelerating downward momentum.
When the AC is below zero line and rising it suggests the decelerating the downtrend momentum. When AC is above the zero line and falling, it suggests the decelerating the uptrend momentum.
Now let's discuss the trading zones concept and how it can create the signal. Zones are created by the combination of AO and AC. We can divide three zone types:
Greed zone: when the AO and AC both are rising
Red zone: when the AO and AC both are decreasing
Gray zone: when one of AO or AC is rising, the other is falling
Gray zone is considered as uncertainty. AC and AO are moving in the opposite direction. Strategy skip such price action to decrease the chance to stuck in the losing trade during potential sideways. Red zone is also not interesting for the algorithm because both indicators consider the trend as bearish, but strategy opens only long trades. It is waiting for the green zone to increase the chance to open trade in the direction of the potential uptrend. When we have 2 candles in a row in the green zone script executes a long trade with 10% of capital.
Two green zone candles in a row is considered by algorithm as a bullish trend, but now so strong, that's the reason why trade is going to be closed when the combination of Alligator and Fractals will consider the the trend change from bullish to bearish. If id did not happens, algorithm starts to count the green zone candles in a row. When we have 5 in a row script change the trade closing condition. Such situation is considered is a high probability strong bull market and all trades will be closed if candle's low will be lower than fifth green zone candle's low. This is used to increase probability to secure the profit. If long trades are initiated, the strategy continues utilizing subsequent signals until the total number of trades reaches a maximum of 5. Each trade uses 10% of capital.
Why we use trading zones signals? If currently strategy algorithm considers the high probability of the short-term uptrend with the Alligator and Fractals combination pointed out above and the long-term trend is also suggested by the EMA filter as bullish. Rising AC and AO values in the direction of the most likely main trend signaling that we have the high probability of the fastest bullish phase on the market. The main idea is to take part in such rapid moves and add trades if this move continues its acceleration according to indicators.

Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Label)
What it means: A bullish engulfing pattern typically signals a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong buying interest.
Identifying Candlestick Patterns on the Chart
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a green label (bullish engulfing) at the bottom of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a long position (buy).
Confirmation: To increase reliability, wait for confirmation by observing if price moves above the high of the bullish engulfing candle.
Exit: Exit when the trend shows signs of reversing or take profit at predefined levels (e.g., resistance or a risk-to-reward ratio).
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Label)
What it means: A bearish engulfing pattern is a signal of a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a red label (bearish engulfing) at the top of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a short position (sell).
Confirmation: Wait for the price to move below the low of the bearish engulfing candle to confirm the bearish trend.
Exit: Close the trade when the price reaches support levels or the trend shows signs of reversing.
Doji Pattern (Blue Circle)
What it means: A Doji candle signals market indecision. It represents a balance between buyers and sellers, often marking a potential reversal or consolidation point.
How to use it:
Entry: If the Doji appears after a strong trend (bullish or bearish), wait for the next candle to break above or below the Doji's high or low. This can signal a continuation or reversal.
Confirmation: You can look for additional indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD for confirmation before taking any action.
Exit: Exit when the price shows clear momentum in your entry direction.
Hammer Pattern (Orange Triangle)
What it means: The hammer pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that appears after a downtrend. It suggests that sellers pushed the price down during the session, but buyers managed to push the price back up.
How to use it:
Entry: When a hammer appears, consider entering a long position (buy). The price should move above the hammer's high for confirmation.
Confirmation: Look for strong volume and a follow-up bullish candle to confirm the reversal.
Exit: Set a target based on the next resistance level, or use a trailing stop to lock in profits.
Using Candlestick Patterns with Other Indicators
To increase your chances of success, combine candlestick patterns with other technical indicators.
Here are some ideas:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use RSI to check whether the market is overbought or oversold. A bullish engulfing in an oversold market could indicate a stronger buy signal, and a bearish engulfing in an overbought market could indicate a stronger sell signal.
Moving Averages (e.g., 50 EMA, 200 EMA): Confirm trend direction. If the candlestick pattern aligns with the direction of the moving averages, it can give a stronger signal.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Use MACD to confirm momentum and potential trend changes. If a candlestick pattern aligns with a MACD crossover, it strengthens the signal.
Volume: Look for higher-than-average volume when a pattern appears. This can give you additional confirmation that the market is reacting strongly.
Practice and Refine
It's important to practice using the candlestick patterns in a demo account or backtest them to see how they perform under different market conditions. Over time, you can adjust the settings and patterns to fit your trading style and preferences.
TradFi Fundamentals: Momentum Trading with Macroeconomic DataIntroduction
This indicator combines traditional price momentum with key macroeconomic data. By retrieving GDP, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates using security calls, the script automatically adapts to the latest economic data. The goal is to blend technical analysis with fundamental insights to generate a more robust momentum signal.
Original Research Paper by Mohit Apte, B. Tech Scholar, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, COEP Technological University, Pune, India
Link to paper
Explanation
Price Momentum Calculation:
The indicator computes price momentum as the percentage change in price over a configurable lookback period (default is 50 days). This raw momentum is then normalized using a rolling simple moving average and standard deviation over a defined period (default 200 days) to ensure comparability with the economic indicators.
Fetching and Normalizing Economic Data:
Instead of manually inputting economic values, the script uses TradingView’s security function to retrieve:
GDP from ticker "GDP"
Inflation (CPI) from ticker "USCCPI"
Unemployment rate from ticker "UNRATE"
Interest rates from ticker "USINTR"
Each series is normalized over a configurable normalization period (default 200 days) by subtracting its moving average and dividing by its standard deviation. This standardization converts each economic indicator into a z-score for direct integration into the momentum score.
Combined Momentum Score:
The normalized price momentum and economic indicators are each multiplied by user-defined weights (default: 50% price momentum, 20% GDP, and 10% each for inflation, unemployment, and interest rates). The weighted components are then summed to form a comprehensive momentum score. A horizontal zero line is plotted for reference.
Trading Signals:
Buy signals are generated when the combined momentum score crosses above zero, and sell signals occur when it crosses below zero. Visual markers are added to the chart to assist with trade timing, and alert conditions are provided for automated notifications.
Settings
Price Momentum Lookback: Defines the period (in days) used to compute the raw price momentum.
Normalization Period for Price Momentum: Sets the window over which the price momentum is normalized.
Normalization Period for Economic Data: Sets the window over which each macroeconomic series is normalized.
Weights: Adjust the influence of each component (price momentum, GDP, inflation, unemployment, and interest rate) on the overall momentum score.
Conclusion
This implementation leverages TradingView’s economic data feeds to integrate real-time macroeconomic data into a momentum trading strategy. By normalizing and weighting both technical and economic inputs, the indicator offers traders a more holistic view of market conditions. The enhanced momentum signal provides additional context to traditional momentum analysis, potentially leading to more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.
The next script I release will be an improved version of this that I have added my own flavor to, improving the signals.
Moving Averages With Continuous Periods [macp]This script reimagines traditional moving averages by introducing floating-point period calculations, allowing for fractional lengths rather than being constrained to whole numbers. At its core, it provides SMA, WMA, and HMA variants that can work with any decimal length, which proves especially valuable when creating dynamic indicators or fine-tuning existing strategies.
The most significant improvement lies in the Hull Moving Average implementation. By properly handling floating-point mathematics throughout the calculation chain, this version reduces the overshoot tendencies that often plague integer-based HMAs. The result is a more responsive yet controlled indicator that better captures price action without excessive whipsaw.
The visual aspect incorporates a trend gradient system that can adapt to different trading styles. Rather than using fixed coloring, it offers several modes ranging from simple solid colors to more nuanced three-tone gradients that help identify trend transitions. These gradients are normalized against ATR to provide context-aware visual feedback about trend strength.
From a practical standpoint, the floating-point approach eliminates the subtle discontinuities that occur when integer-based moving averages switch periods. This makes the indicator particularly useful in systems where the MA period itself is calculated from market conditions, as it can smoothly transition between different lengths without artificial jumps.
At the heart of this implementation lies the concept of continuous weights rather than discrete summation. Traditional moving averages treat each period as a distinct unit with integer indexing. However, when we move to floating-point periods, we need to consider how fractional periods should behave. This leads us to some interesting mathematical considerations.
Consider the Weighted Moving Average kernel. The weight function is fundamentally a slope: -x + length where x represents the position in the averaging window. The normalization constant is calculated by integrating (in our discrete case, summing) this slope across the window. What makes this implementation special is how it handles the fractional component - when the length isn't a whole number, the final period gets weighted proportionally to its fractional part.
For the Hull Moving Average, the mathematics become particularly intriguing. The standard HMA formula HMA = WMA(2*WMA(price, n/2) - WMA(price, n), sqrt(n)) is preserved, but now each WMA calculation operates in continuous space. This creates a smoother cascade of weights that better preserves the original intent of the Hull design - to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness.
The Simple Moving Average's treatment of fractional periods is perhaps the most elegant. For a length like 9.7, it weights the first 9 periods fully and the 10th period at 0.7 of its value. This creates a natural transition between integer periods that traditional implementations miss entirely.
The Gradient Mathematics
The trend gradient system employs normalized angular calculations to determine color transitions. By taking the arctangent of price changes normalized by ATR, we create a bounded space between 0 and 1 that represents trend intensity. The formula (arctan(Δprice/ATR) + 90°)/180° maps trend angles to this normalized space, allowing for smooth color transitions that respect market volatility context.
This mathematical framework creates a more theoretically sound foundation for moving averages, one that better reflects the continuous nature of price movement in financial markets. The implementation recognizes that time in markets isn't truly discrete - our sampling might be, but the underlying process we're trying to measure is continuous. By allowing for fractional periods, we're creating a better approximation of this continuous reality.
This floating-point moving average implementation offers tangible benefits for traders and analysts who need precise control over their indicators. The ability to fine-tune periods and create smooth transitions makes it particularly valuable for automated systems where moving average lengths are dynamically calculated from market conditions. The Hull Moving Average calculation now accurately reflects its mathematical formula while maintaining responsiveness, making it a practical choice for both systematic and discretionary trading approaches. Whether you're building dynamic indicators, optimizing existing strategies, or simply want more precise control over your moving averages, this implementation provides the mathematical foundation to do so effectively.
RSI & DPO support/resistanceThis indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions with the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to highlight support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that display these metrics in a separate window, this tool integrates them directly onto the main price chart.
This allows for a more cohesive analysis, enabling traders to easily visualize the relationship between price movements and momentum indicators in one unified view.
How to Use It:
Identify Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
Look for RSI values above 70 to identify overbought conditions, suggesting a potential price reversal or pullback. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate oversold conditions, which may signal a potential price bounce or upward movement.
Analyze Support and Resistance Levels:
Observe the DPO lines on the main chart to identify key support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these levels, it can provide insights into potential price reversals or breakouts.
Combine Signals for Trading Decisions:
Use the RSI and DPO signals together to make informed trading decisions. For example, if the RSI indicates an overbought condition while the price is near a resistance level identified by the DPO, it may be a good opportunity to consider selling or taking profits.
Monitor Divergences:
Watch for divergences between the RSI and price movements. If the price is making new highs while the RSI is not, it could indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Set Alerts:
Consider setting alerts for when the RSI crosses above or below the overbought or oversold thresholds, or when the price approaches significant support or resistance levels indicated by the DPO.
Practice Risk Management:
Always use proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital while trading based on these indicators.
By following these steps, traders can effectively utilize this indicator to enhance their market analysis and improve their trading strategies.
Pivot Points High Low - JVersion**Indicator Name**: Pivot Points High Low (Without Price Labels)
**Overview**
The Pivot Points High Low indicator is designed to identify and mark local highs and lows (or “pivot” points) on a price chart. Unlike other pivot-based indicators that label each pivot with its exact price, this version displays only small circular markers—removing clutter and focusing attention on the pivot locations themselves.
**Key Features**
1. **Pivot Detection**
- The script uses TradingView’s built-in `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()` functions to determine when the market has formed a pivot high or pivot low.
- You can define how many bars to the left and right are required to confirm a pivot, helping you tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
2. **Clean Markers**
- Each confirmed pivot high or low is represented by a circle placed precisely on the candle where the pivot is detected.
- No numeric labels are shown, keeping your chart visually uncluttered while still highlighting important turning points in price.
3. **Customization**
- **Left/Right Pivot Length**: Choose how many bars to the left and right must be lower (for highs) or higher (for lows) to validate a pivot. Larger values mean fewer but more significant pivots; smaller values mean more frequent pivots.
- **Marker Colors**: Independently customize the colors of the high-marker circles and low-marker circles to easily distinguish between local tops and bottoms.
4. **Usage and Interpretation**
- **Identifying Reversals**: As soon as a circle appears at a local high or low, it may indicate a short-term trend reversal or the beginning of a new swing in price.
- **Combine with Other Tools**: Pivot points are more informative when used alongside broader trend analysis, support/resistance identification, or other momentum indicators.
- **Adjusting Sensitivity**: By increasing or decreasing the left/right pivot lengths, you can make the indicator more or less sensitive to small market fluctuations.
5. **Practical Tips**
- **Swing Trading**: Shorter lengths can be used by swing traders looking for quick reversals in lower timeframes.
- **Longer-Term Trends**: Larger lengths are better for position traders or those who prefer to see only major turning points in the market.
- **Clean Chart Layout**: Because text labels are removed, you can visually focus on the circles—especially helpful if you use multiple indicators and prefer a less cluttered chart.
---
By pinpointing local highs and lows without price labels, the **Pivot Points High Low** indicator keeps charts neat yet informative, allowing traders to quickly recognize potential turning points in the market and make more informed decisions.
Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy leverages the combination of candlestick pattern Bullish Reversal Bar (description in Methodology and Justification of Methodology), Williams Alligator indicator and Williams Fractals to create the high probability setups. Candlestick pattern is used for the entering into trade, while the combination of Williams Alligator and Fractals is used for the trend approximation as close condition. Strategy uses only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator or the candlestick pattern invalidation to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Trend Trade Filter: strategy uses Alligator and Fractal combination as high probability trend filter.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1.Current candle's high shall be below the Williams Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)(all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
2.Price shall create the candlestick pattern "Bullish Reversal Bar". Optionally if MFI and AO filters are enabled current candle shall have the decreasing AO and at least one of three recent bars shall have the squat state on the MFI (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3.If price breaks through the high of the candle marked as the "Bullish Reversal Bar" the long trade is open at the price one tick above the candle's high
4.Initial stop loss is placed at the Bullish Reversal Bar's candle's low
5.If price hit the Bullish Reversal Bar's low before hitting the entry price potential trade is cancelled
6.If trade is active and initial stop loss has not been hit, trade is closed when the combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend change from upward to downward.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
Enable MFI (if true trades are filtered using Market Facilitation Index (MFI) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Enable AO (if true trades are filtered using Awesome Oscillator (AO) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. The first and key concept is the Bullish Reversal Bar candlestick pattern. This is just the single bar pattern. The rules are simple:
Candle shall be closed in it's upper half
High of this candle shall be below all three Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
How we can use all these indicators in this strategy? This strategy is a counter trend one. Candle's high shall be below all Alligator's lines. During this market stage the bullish reversal bar candlestick pattern shall be printed. This bar during the downtrend is a high probability setup for the potential reversal to the upside: bulls were able to close the price in the upper half of a candle. The breaking of its high is a high probability signal that trend change is confirmed and script opens long trade. If market continues going down and break down the bullish reversal bar's low potential trend change has been invalidated and strategy close long trade.
If market really reversed and started moving to the upside strategy waits for the trend change form the downtrend to the uptrend according to approximation of Alligator and Fractals combination. If this change happens strategy close the trade. This approach helps to stay in the long trade while the uptrend continuation is likely and close it if there is a high probability of the uptrend finish.
Optionally users can enable MFI and AO filters. First of all, let's briefly explain what are these two indicators. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
This indicator is filtering signals in the following way: if current AO bar is decreasing this candle can be interpreted as a bullish reversal bar. This logic is applicable because initially this strategy is a trend reversal, it is searching for the high probability setup against the current trend. Decreasing AO is the additional high probability filter of a downtrend.
Let's briefly look what is MFI. The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential reversal bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.

Triple CCI Strategy MFI Confirmed [Skyrexio]Overview
Triple CCI Strategy MFI Confirmed leverages 3 different periods Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator in conjunction Money Flow Index (MFI) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability setups. Fast period CCI is used for having the high probability to enter in the direction of short term trend, middle and slow period CCI are used for confirmation, if market now likely in the mid and long-term uptrend. MFI is used to confirm trade with the money inflow/outflow with the high probability. EMA is used as an additional trend filter. Moreover, strategy uses exponential moving average (EMA) to trail the price when it reaches the specific level. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Four layers trade filtering system: Strategy utilizes two different period CCI indicators, MFI and EMA indicators to confirm the signals produced by fast period CCI.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Fast period CCI shall crossover the zero-line.
Slow and Middle period CCI shall be above zero-lines.
Price shall close above the EMA. Crossover is not obligatory
MFI shall be above 50
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.75)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 2.25)
CCI Fast Length (by default = 14, used for calculation short term period CCI)
CCI Middle Length (by default = 25, used for calculation short term period CCI)
CCI Slow Length (by default = 50, used for calculation long term period CCI)
MFI Length (by default = 14, used for calculation MFI
EMA Length (by default = 50, period of EMA, used for trend filtering EMA calculation)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is CCI, MFI and EMA.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based technical indicator that measures the deviation of a security's price from its average price over a specific period. It helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and potential trend reversals.
The CCI formula is:
CCI = (Typical Price − SMA) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation)
Typical Price (TP): This is calculated as the average of the high, low, and closing prices for the period.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): This is the average of the Typical Prices over a specific number of periods.
Mean Deviation: This is the average of the absolute differences between the Typical Price and the SMA.
The result is a value that typically fluctuates between +100 and -100, though it is not bounded and can go higher or lower depending on the price movement.
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the strength of money flowing into and out of a security. It combines price and volume data to assess buying and selling pressure and is often used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The formula for MFI involves several steps:
1. Calculate the Typical Price (TP):
TP = (high + low + close) / 3
2. Calculate the Raw Money Flow (RMF):
Raw Money Flow = TP × Volume
3. Determine Positive and Negative Money Flow:
If the current TP is greater than the previous TP, it's Positive Money Flow.
If the current TP is less than the previous TP, it's Negative Money Flow.
4. Calculate the Money Flow Ratio (MFR):
Money Flow Ratio = Sum of Positive Money Flow (over n periods) / Sum of Negative Money Flow (over n periods)
5. Calculate the Money Flow Index (MFI):
MFI = 100 − (100 / (1 + Money Flow Ratio))
MFI above 80 can be considered as overbought, below 20 - oversold.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that places greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. It is widely used in technical analysis to smooth price data and identify trends more quickly than the Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Formula:
1. Calculate the multiplier
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1) , Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
This strategy leverages Fast period CCI, which shall break the zero line to the upside to say that probability of short term trend change to the upside increased. This zero line crossover shall be confirmed by the Middle and Slow periods CCI Indicators. At the moment of breakout these two CCIs shall be above 0, indicating that there is a high probability that price is in middle and long term uptrend. This approach increases chances to have a long trade setup in the direction of mid-term and long-term trends when the short-term trend starts to reverse to the upside.
Additionally strategy uses MFI to have a greater probability that fast CCI breakout is confirmed by this indicator. We consider the values of MFI above 50 as a higher probability that trend change from downtrend to the uptrend is real. Script opens long trades only if MFI is above 50. As you already know from the MFI description, it incorporates volume in its calculation, therefore we have another one confirmation factor.
Finally, strategy uses EMA an additional trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements. It’s also important to make a note, that script uses another one EMA (by default = 20 period) as a trailing profit level.
Backtest Results
Operating window: Date range of backtests is 2022.04.01 - 2024.11.25. It is chosen to let the strategy to close all opened positions.

Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions.
This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior.
By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics.
Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints.
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases.
Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation.
The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis:
Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context.
Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur.
Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases.
Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective.
Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior.
🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance.
Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond.
Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure.
The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example:
- Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts.
- Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited.
By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators.
🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers various customizable settings to help users tailor its visualization to their specific trading style and market conditions. These settings allow adjustments to sensitivity, level projection, and the source of price calculations (e.g., wicks or closing prices). Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality.
Custom Settings
Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements.
Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment.
Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart.
Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries.
Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary.
Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions.
Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization:
- Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action.
- Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis.
- Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends.
- Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions.
Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis.
Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios.

This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time.
Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics.
This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action.
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges.
Visual Range Dependency :
The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range.
Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility :
Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view.
Box Limitations in Pine Script :
The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments.
Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings :
When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges.
Live Segment Caution :
The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework.
Cross-Market Versatility :
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation.
Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly.
These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action.
The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals.
This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions.
🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator, like other xxattaxx indicators , is designed with education and community collaboration in mind. Its open-source nature encourages exploration, experimentation, and the development of new approaches to price analysis. By focusing on structural price behavior rather than psychological or time-based factors, this indicator introduces a fresh perspective for users to study.
Beyond its visual utility, the indicator serves as an educational framework for understanding the concept of non-psychological analysis. It offers traders an opportunity to explore price dynamics in a purely mechanical way, challenging conventional methods and fostering deeper insights into structural behavior. This approach is especially valuable for those interested in exploring new concepts or seeking alternative perspectives on market analysis.

We actively encourage your feedback and contributions, which will directly help us refine and improve the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. We look forward to seeing the creative ways in which you use and enhance this tool. MVS
SuperATR 7-Step Profit - Strategy [presentTrading] Long time no see!
█ Introduction and How It Is Different
The SuperATR 7-Step Profit Strategy is a multi-layered trading approach that integrates adaptive Average True Range (ATR) calculations with momentum-based trend detection. What sets this strategy apart is its sophisticated 7-step take-profit mechanism, which combines four ATR-based exit levels and three fixed percentage levels. This hybrid approach allows traders to dynamically adjust to market volatility while systematically capturing profits in both long and short market positions.
Traditional trading strategies often rely on static indicators or single-layered exit strategies, which may not adapt well to changing market conditions. The SuperATR 7-Step Profit Strategy addresses this limitation by:
- Using Adaptive ATR: Enhances the standard ATR by making it responsive to current market momentum.
- Incorporating Momentum-Based Trend Detection: Identifies stronger trends with higher probability of continuation.
- Employing a Multi-Step Take-Profit System: Allows for gradual profit-taking at predetermined levels, optimizing returns while minimizing risk.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The strategy revolves around detecting strong market trends and capitalizing on them using an adaptive ATR and momentum indicators. Below is a detailed breakdown of each component of the strategy.
🔶 1. True Range Calculation with Enhanced Volatility Detection
The True Range (TR) measures market volatility by considering the most significant price movements. The enhanced TR is calculated as:
TR = Max
Where:
High and Low are the current bar's high and low prices.
Previous Close is the closing price of the previous bar.
Abs denotes the absolute value.
Max selects the maximum value among the three calculations.
🔶 2. Momentum Factor Calculation
To make the ATR adaptive, the strategy incorporates a Momentum Factor (MF), which adjusts the ATR based on recent price movements.
Momentum = Close - Close
Stdev_Close = Standard Deviation of Close over n periods
Normalized_Momentum = Momentum / Stdev_Close (if Stdev_Close ≠ 0)
Momentum_Factor = Abs(Normalized_Momentum)
Where:
Close is the current closing price.
n is the momentum_period, a user-defined input (default is 7).
Standard Deviation measures the dispersion of closing prices over n periods.
Abs ensures the momentum factor is always positive.
🔶 3. Adaptive ATR Calculation
The Adaptive ATR (AATR) adjusts the traditional ATR based on the Momentum Factor, making it more responsive during volatile periods and smoother during consolidation.
Short_ATR = SMA(True Range, short_period)
Long_ATR = SMA(True Range, long_period)
Adaptive_ATR = /
Where:
SMA is the Simple Moving Average.
short_period and long_period are user-defined inputs (defaults are 3 and 7, respectively).
🔶 4. Trend Strength Calculation
The strategy quantifies the strength of the trend to filter out weak signals.
Price_Change = Close - Close
ATR_Multiple = Price_Change / Adaptive_ATR (if Adaptive_ATR ≠ 0)
Trend_Strength = SMA(ATR_Multiple, n)
🔶 5. Trend Signal Determination
If (Short_MA > Long_MA) AND (Trend_Strength > Trend_Strength_Threshold):
Trend_Signal = 1 (Strong Uptrend)
Elif (Short_MA < Long_MA) AND (Trend_Strength < -Trend_Strength_Threshold):
Trend_Signal = -1 (Strong Downtrend)
Else:
Trend_Signal = 0 (No Clear Trend)
🔶 6. Trend Confirmation with Price Action
Adaptive_ATR_SMA = SMA(Adaptive_ATR, atr_sma_period)
If (Trend_Signal == 1) AND (Close > Short_MA) AND (Adaptive_ATR > Adaptive_ATR_SMA):
Trend_Confirmed = True
Elif (Trend_Signal == -1) AND (Close < Short_MA) AND (Adaptive_ATR > Adaptive_ATR_SMA):
Trend_Confirmed = True
Else:
Trend_Confirmed = False
