Fibonacci Grid [LuxAlgo]The following indicator returns multiple diagonal lines forming a grid. Each line has 45-degree and is set depending on Fibonacci ratios as well as the maximum and minimum price value over a certain lookback period. These can be used as potential support and resistance.
Users also have the option to set equidistant lines instead of having them determined by Fibonacci ratios.
Settings
Length: Lookback period for determining the maximum/minimum price value used for constructing the grid.
Resolution: Grid resolution, higher values will return more lines (only available when the "Use Fibonacci Ratios" is disabled)
Use Fibonacci Ratios: Set the lines based on Fibonacci Ratios, 6 ratios are used.
Usage
Each individual diagonal line can be used as support/resistance. Two Diagonal lines form channels where the price might evolve until a breakout.
The underlying logic of this grid determined by Fibonacci ratios is that price variations farther away from the main diagonals (in orange) would tend to move inside tighter channels.
Diagonals set using Fibonacci Ratios will form tighter channels when away from the center of the Lookback area. While equidistant lines will keep the same distance between each line.

Horizontal line for Market open price by NB(ENG)
Since meaningful movements starts based on the first bar of the market's opening time
(usually GMT + 0), this indicator is creat to be used as a tool to use it as support and resistance.
Look at the bar of just 15 minutes passed after market opened, and when the bar closed with positive candlestick then
draw horizontal line at high price, when the bar closed negative candlestick then draw horizontal line at low price.
I use diffrent colors to help visualization.
If you look these at from a distance, you can see sections that are tightly entangled and sections those are not.
This makes it possible to distinguish between strong and weak support/resistance sections.
For convenience, I put only color and transparency adjustments. No future upgrades are planned.
Thanks to ADOL_ for this great idea, and also to Bjorn Mistiaen for helping me to make the source code.

마켓의 오픈 시간(보통 GMT 0시)에 첫 바를 기준으로 의미 있는 움직임이 시작되기에
이를 지지와 저항으로 활용하는 도구로 쓰기 위하여 만든 지표입니다.
GMT 0시 15분 봉 마감 기준으로, 양봉이면 그 양봉의 고점을 이어 가로줄을 긋고,
음봉이면 저점을 이어 가로줄을 긋습니다. 서로 색을 달리하여 시각화를 돕습니다.
이를 멀리서 보면 촘촘히 얽힌 구간이 나오고 그렇지 않은 구간이 나옵니다.
이를 통해 지지/저항이 강한 구간과 약한 구간을 구별할 수가 있습니다.
편의를 돕기 위해 색과 투명도 조절까지만 넣어 놓았습니다.
추후 업그레이드는 예정되어 있지 않습니다.

On Chart Anticipated Moving Average Crossover IndicatorIntroducing the on chart moving average crossover indicator.
This is my On Chart Pinescript implementation of the Anticipated Simple Moving Average Crossover idea.
This indicator plots 6 user defined moving averages.
It also plots the 5 price levels required on the next close to cross a user selected moving average with the 5 other user defined moving averages
It also gives signals of anticipated moving average crosses as arrows on chart and also as tradingview alerts with a very high degree of accuracy
Much respect to the creator of the original idea Mr. Dimitris Tsokakis
Moving Averages
A moving average simplifies price data by smoothing it out by averaging closing prices and creating one flowing line which makes seeing the trend easier.
Moving averages can work well in strong trending conditions, but poorly in choppy or ranging conditions.
Adjusting the time frame can remedy this problem temporarily, although at some point, these issues are likely to occur regardless of the time frame chosen for the moving average(s).
While Exponential moving averages react quicker to price changes than simple moving averages. In some cases, this may be good, and in others, it may cause false signals.
Moving averages with a shorter look back period (20 days, for example) will also respond quicker to price changes than an average with a longer look back period (200 days).
Trading Strategies — Moving Average Crossovers
Moving average crossovers are a popular strategy for both entries and exits. MAs can also highlight areas of potential support or resistance.
The first type is a price crossover, which is when the price crosses above or below a moving average to signal a potential change in trend.
Another strategy is to apply two moving averages to a chart: one longer and one shorter.
When the shorter-term MA crosses above the longer-term MA, it's a buy signal, as it indicates that the trend is shifting up. This is known as a "golden cross."
Meanwhile, when the shorter-term MA crosses below the longer-term MA, it's a sell signal, as it indicates that the trend is shifting down. This is known as a "dead/death cross."
MA and MA Cross Strategy Disadvantages
Moving averages are calculated based on historical data, and while this may appear predictive nothing about the calculation is predictive in nature.
Moving averages are always based on historical data and simply show the average price over a certain time period.
Therefore, results using moving averages can be quite random.
At times, the market seems to respect MA support/resistance and trade signals, and at other times, it shows these indicators no respect.
One major problem is that, if the price action becomes choppy, the price may swing back and forth, generating multiple trend reversal or trade signals.
When this occurs, it's best to step aside or utilize another indicator to help clarify the trend.
The same thing can occur with MA crossovers when the MAs get "tangled up" for a period of time during periods of consolidation, triggering multiple losing trades.
Ensure you use a robust risk management system to avoid getting "Chopped Up" or "Whip Sawed" during these periods.

Trend Regularity Adaptive Moving Average [LuxAlgo]The following moving average adapt to the average number of highest high/lowest low made over a specific period, thus adapting to trend strength. Interesting results can be obtained when using the moving average in a MA crossover system or as a trailing support/resistance.
Settings
Length : Period of the indicator, with higher values returning smoother results.
Src : Source input of the indicator.
Usage
The trend regularity adaptive moving average (TRAMA) can be used like most moving averages, with the advantage of being smoother during ranging markets.
Notice how the moving closer to the price the longer a trend last, such effect can be practical to have early entry points when using the moving average in a MA crossover system, such effect is due to the increasing number of average highest high/lowest low made during longer trends. Note that in the case of a significant uptrend followed by a downtrend, the moving average might penalize the start of the downtrend (and vice versa).
The moving average can also act as an interesting trailing support/resistance.
Details
The moving average is calculated using exponential averaging, using as smoothing factor the squared simple moving average of the number of highest high/lowest low previously made, highest high/lowest low are calculated using rolling maximums/minimums.
Using higher values of length will return fewer highest high/lowest low which explains why the moving average is smoother for higher length values. Squaring allows the moving average to penalize lower values, thus appearing more stationary during ranging markets, it also allows to have some consistency regarding the length setting.
🧙 this moving average would not be possible without the existence of corn syrup 🦎
Fibonacci Moving AverageFibonacci extensions on a moving average. Useful for finding potential levels of support and resistance. Look for confluence with horizontal support/resistance and momentum oscillators.
Pivot S/RThis support/resistance indicator draws a horizontal line at historical Daily swing points.
I've found this to be a very accurate indicator for determining current levels of support and resistance. Double lines and clusters of lines provide particularly strong levels.
Most of the settings are changeable.
Price Trendlines + Break Signals█ OVERVIEW
The "Price Trendlines + Break Signals" indicator is a technical analysis tool that automatically draws trendlines based on price pivot points and detects breakout signals. Designed for traders seeking precise market signals, the indicator identifies key pivot points, draws trendlines (resistance and support), and generates breakout signals with background highlighting. It offers flexible settings and alerts for breakout signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to provide traders with an alternative source of signals based on trendlines. Breakouts and bounces from trendlines can signal a trend change or the end of a correction. Combining these signals with other technical analysis tools can form the basis for building diverse trading strategies.
█ FEATURES
-Pivot Point Calculation: The indicator identifies pivot points (pivot high and pivot low) based on the closing price, with configurable left and right bars for pivot detection. Setting a higher number of bars results in fewer but more significant trendlines, with a delay corresponding to the specified length. Lower values generate more trendlines, but they are less significant. Crossovers are signaled only after the trendline is drawn, so sometimes no signals appear on crossed trendlines—this indicates the price passed through the line before it was detected.
- Trendlines: Draws trendlines connecting price pivot points—upper lines for downtrends (resistance) and lower lines for uptrends (support). Lines can be extended by a specified number of bars (default: 50).
- Tolerance Margin: Trendlines are widened by a tolerance margin, calculated using the average candle body size over a specified period and its multiplier. Reducing the multiplier to zero leaves only the trendline without a margin. Breaking this zone is a condition for generating signals.
- Breakout Signals: Generates signals when the price breaks through a trendline (bullish for upper lines, bearish for lower lines), with background highlighting for signal confirmation.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for:
- Upper trendline breakout (bullish signal).
- Lower trendline breakout (bearish signal).
Customization: Allows adjustment of pivot parameters, trendline extension length, tolerance margin, line colors, fills, and signal background transparency.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding the Indicator: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configuring Settings:
- Left Bars for Pivot: Number of bars back for detecting pivots (default: 10).
- Right Bars for Pivot: Number of bars forward to confirm pivots (default: 10).
- Extend past 2nd pivot: Number of bars to extend the trendline after the second pivot (default: 50, 0 = no extension).
- Average Body Periods: Period for calculating the average candle body size used for the tolerance margin (default: 100).
- Tolerance Multiplier: Multiplier for the tolerance margin based on the average candle body size (default: 1.0).
Colors and Style:
- Upper trendline (resistance): default red.
- Lower trendline (support): default green.
- Line fills: colors with transparency (default 70).
- Signal background: green for bullish signals, red for bearish signals (default transparency 85).
Interpreting Signals:
- Trendlines: Upper lines (red) indicate a downtrend, lower lines (green) indicate an uptrend. Signals appear after a trendline breakout with the tolerance margin. Each trendline generates only one breakout signal, though it may still act as resistance or support for the price.
- Breakout Signals: Green background indicates an upper trendline breakout (bullish), red background indicates a lower trendline breakout (bearish).
- Alerts: Set up alerts in TradingView for trendline breakout signals.
Combining with Other Tools: Use with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci levels, RSI, pivot points, or FVG (Fair Value Gap) for signal confirmation.
█ APPLICATIONS
The "Price Trendlines + Break Signals" indicator is designed to identify trends and potential reversal points, supporting both trend-following and contrarian strategies:
- Trend Confirmation: Trendlines indicate the direction of the price trend, and bounces from them may signal the end of a correction.
- Reversal Strategies: Breakout signals can be used as cues to enter positions in anticipation of a trend change or correction.
- Noise Filtering: The tolerance margin reduces false signals, enhancing reliability.
█ NOTES
- Trendline crossovers are signaled only after the trendline is drawn, so sometimes no signals appear on crossed trendlines—this indicates the price passed through the line before it was detected.
- Each trendline generates only one breakout signal, though it may still act as a level of support or resistance for the price.
- Setting a higher number of bars for pivots results in fewer but more significant trendlines, with a delay corresponding to the specified length. Lower values generate more trendlines, but they are less significant.
- Adjust settings (e.g., number of bars for pivots, tolerance multiplier) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- Combine with other technical analysis tools, such as RSI, pivot points, or FVG, to enhance signal accuracy.
- For high-volatility markets, consider increasing the tolerance margin to reduce false signals.
Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)🟩 Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)
OVERVIEW
The Bull Market Support Band is a long-term trend indicator that combines the 20-week SMA and 21-week EMA.
When price is above the band → bullish trend.
When below → bearish trend.
When within → neutral or transition phase.
This v6 version adds full customization, dynamic coloring, event labels, candle coloring, and a configurable on-chart legend table with trend arrows.
HOW IT WORKS
Calculates the 20W SMA and 21W EMA from a user-selectable higher timeframe (weekly by default).
Plots both averages and shades the area between them to form the support band.
The fill and line colors change automatically based on the market phase:
🟩 Green = Bullish (price above)
🟥 Red = Bearish (price below)
⬜ Gray = Neutral (price within).
Labels appear only when the trend state changes.
Alerts trigger when price crosses the band or either moving average.
Optional candle coloring applies the same bull/bear/neutral logic to price bars.
A convenience legend table displays current 20W SMA and 21W EMA values, along with slope arrows (^, v, =).
INCLUDED FEATURES
Configurable calculation timeframe.
Automatic band fill and line coloring.
Optional candle coloring overlay.
Compact or detailed regime-change labels.
ATR-based label offset and spacing control.
Customizable legend table with background color.
Horizontal or vertical legend layout.
Custom arrow characters (ASCII or Unicode).
Built-in alerts for band and MA crosses.
Optimized for higher-timeframe accuracy using request.security().
USAGE TIPS
Keep the default weekly setting for macro trend context.
On lower chart timeframes, use the band as higher-level support/resistance.
Combine with momentum or volume indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV) for confirmation.
Adjust ATR multiplier to move labels further from price candles.
Increase “Min bars between labels” to reduce visual clutter.
Disable auto-coloring if you prefer a static color theme.
Toggle compact legend or switch between horizontal/vertical layouts for best fit.
INTERPRETATION GUIDE
🟩 Bullish: Price above the band → trend continuation likely.
⬜ Neutral: Price within the band → consolidation or potential reversal zone.
🟥 Bearish: Price below the band → downtrend continuation or distribution.
Sustained closes above or below the band typically align with major market cycle shifts.
NOTES
Uses request.security() for higher-timeframe precision — accurate even on smaller charts.
The legend table is screen-anchored and remains fixed as you pan or zoom.
Plots and labels are price-anchored and move with candles.
Lightweight and efficient for all markets and intervals.
CREDITS
Original concept: The Bull Market Support Band (popularized in crypto analysis).
Enhanced Pine Script v6 version: Ricco .
Modernized for clarity, flexibility, and multi-timeframe accuracy.
SUMMARY
A modern, customizable Bull Market Support Band indicator highlighting long-term market regimes with clean visuals, color logic, and convenience features.

Volume Analysis
Detects unusual volume spikes that indicate large players entering
Compares current volume to 20-period average
Institutional trades create volume 2-5x normal levels
Order Flow
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume
Positive delta = More buying pressure
Negative delta = More selling pressure
Institutions leave "footprints" in order flow
Price Action Patterns
Bullish Rejection Wicks:
| <- Small upper wick
|
███ <- Small body
███
|
|
| <- Large lower wick (rejection)
Indicates institutions bought aggressively at lower prices
Bearish Rejection Wicks:
|
|
| <- Large upper wick (rejection)
|
███ <- Small body
███
| <- Small lower wick
Indicates institutions sold aggressively at higher prices
Liquidity Grabs
Institutions often:
Push price above resistance or below support
Trigger stop losses (grab liquidity)
Reverse direction and trade the other way
Dark Pool Activity
Large block trades executed off-exchange:
High volume with minimal price movement
Indicates institutional accumulation/distribution without moving price
3. Signal Interpretation {#signals}
Signal Types:
🟢 INSTITUTIONAL BUY Signal
Appears as green triangle below candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively accumulating (buying)

4: High confidence - Strong institutional interest
5: Maximum confidence - Multiple factors aligned
🔴 INSTITUTIONAL SELL Signal
Appears as red triangle above candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively distributing (selling)
Higher strength = More confirmation factors
🟠 Dark Pool (DP) Marker
Small orange diamond
What it means:
Large block trade executed
Accumulation/distribution happening quietly
Often precedes significant moves
Liquidity Zones
Red boxes above price = Resistance/sell liquidity

Previous swing high or resistance
6. Best Practices {#best-practices}
✅ DO's:
1. Use Multiple Timeframes
Check higher timeframe for trend direction
Trade signals that align with higher timeframe
Example: 15m signals in direction of 1H trend
2. Combine with Key Levels
Support/resistance
Supply/demand zones
Previous day high/low
Round numbers (psychological levels)
3. Wait for Confirmation
Don't rush into trades
Let the signal candle close
Watch next candle for follow-through
4. Check the Metrics Table
Look at Relative Volume (should be >2.0)
Check Delta % (should be strong positive/negative)
Verify Order Flow aligns with signal
5. Consider Market Context
News events can override signals
Low liquidity times (lunch, overnight) less reliable
Major economic releases need caution
6. Paper Trade First
Test the indicator for 2-4 weeks
Learn how it behaves on your chosen assets
Develop confidence before using real money
Best Times to Trade:
Stock Market Hours:
9:30-11:30 AM EST (high volume, strong moves)
2:00-4:00 PM EST (institutional positioning)
Avoid: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM (lunch, low volume)
Forex:
London Open: 3:00-6:00 AM EST
New York Open: 8:00-11:00 AM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST
Crypto:
24/7 market, but highest volume during US/European hours
Watch for weekend low liquidity
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid {#mistakes}
❌ DON'T:
1. Trade Every Signal
Not all signals are equal
Focus on strength 4-5 signals
Wait for optimal setups
2. Ignore Market Structure
Don't buy into strong downtrends (catch falling knife)
Don't sell into strong uptrends (fight the tape)
Respect major support/resistance
3. Use Too Small Timeframes
1m and 2m charts are too noisy
Minimum recommended: 5m for scalping
Better: 15m, 30m, 1H for reliability
4. Overtrade
Quality over quantity
2-5 good trades per day is excellent
Forcing trades leads to losses
5. Ignore Risk Management
Always use stop losses
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Don't revenge trade after losses
6. Trade During Low Volume
Signals less reliable with low volume
Check Relative Volume metric (should be >1.5)
Avoid pre-market/after-hours for stocks
7. Misread Liquidity Grabs
Not every wick is a liquidity grab
Need volume confirmation
Must have institutional signal
Advanced Tips:
Filtering False Signals:
Use Signal Strength Filter:
Minimum strength 3 = Balanced
Minimum strength 4 = Conservative (recommended)
Minimum strength 5 = Ultra conservative
Confluence Checklist:
Signal strength ≥ 4
Relative volume > 2.0
At key support/resistance
Aligns with higher timeframe trend
Delta % strongly positive/negative
Clean price action setup
If 4+ boxes checked = High probability trade
Setting Up Alerts:
Click the three dots on the indicator
Select "Create Alert"
Choose condition:
"Institutional Buy Signal"
"Institutional Sell Signal"
"Dark Pool Activity"
Set up notification (email, SMS, app)
Save alert
Alert Strategy:
Set minimum strength to 4 for fewer, better alerts
Use for assets you can't watch constantly
Don't rely solely on alerts - check chart context
Practice Exercise:
Week 1-2: Observation
Add indicator to your favorite assets
Watch how signals develop
Note which ones lead to profitable moves
Don't trade yet - just observe
Week 3-4: Paper Trading
Use TradingView's paper trading
Trade only strength 4-5 signals
Record results in a journal
Note: entry, exit, profit/loss, what worked/didn't
Week 5+: Small Live Positions
Start with smallest position size
Trade only your best setups
Gradually increase size as you gain confidence
Keep detailed journal
Quick Reference Card:
Signal Quality Ranking:
🔥 Best Setups (Take These):
Strength 5 + Liquidity grab + Key level
Strength 4-5 + Volume >3.0 + Trend alignment
Dark Pool markers + Strength 4+ signal
✅ Good Setups:
Strength 4 at support/resistance
Strength 3-4 with strong delta
Liquidity grab + Strength 3+

HM2 - Murrey Math Levels# Murrey Math Indicator - Comprehensive Description
## **What is Murrey Math?**
Murrey Math is a trading system developed by T.H. Murrey that divides price action into 8 equal segments (octaves) based on Gann and geometry principles. It automatically identifies key support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, making it a powerful tool for determining entry/exit points and price targets.
## **How It Works**
The indicator:
1. **Analyzes price history** over a lookback period (default 64-200 bars)
2. **Finds the highest high and lowest low** in that period
3. **Calculates a "fractal"** - a geometric scaling factor based on price magnitude
4. **Creates 8 equal divisions** between key levels, plus 4 overshoot levels (total 13 levels)
5. **Labels each level** from -2/8 to +2/8 with their trading significance
## **The 13 Murrey Math Levels**
### **Core Levels (0/8 to 8/8):**
- ** - Ultimate Support** (Blue)
- Extreme oversold condition
- Strong buying opportunity
- Price rarely breaks below this
- ** - Weak, Stall & Reverse** (Orange)
- Weak support level
- Price often stalls and reverses here
- ** - Pivot/Reverse Level** (Red)
- Major support that can become resistance
- Important reversal zone
- ** - Bottom of Trading Range - BUY Zone** (Green)
- Bottom boundary of normal trading
- **Premium BUY zone** - 40% of trading happens between 3/8 and 5/8
- ** - Major Support/Resistance** (Blue)
- **THE MOST IMPORTANT LEVEL**
- The midpoint - best entry/exit level
- Strong pivot point that price respects
- ** - Top of Trading Range - SELL Zone** (Green)
- Top boundary of normal trading
- **Premium SELL zone**
- ** - Pivot/Reverse Level** (Red)
- Major resistance that can become support
- Important reversal zone
- ** - Weak, Stall & Reverse** (Orange)
- Weak resistance level
- Price often stalls and reverses here
- ** - Ultimate Resistance** (Blue)

1. **Consolidation Trading Area** (0/8 to 3/8)
- Price is in a bearish zone
- Look for BUY opportunities near support levels
2. **Normal Trading Area** (3/8 to 5/8)
- **40% of trading occurs here**
- Price oscillates between these boundaries
- Range-bound trading strategies work best
3. **Premium Trading Area** (5/8 to 8/8)
- Price is in a bullish zone
- Look for SELL opportunities near resistance levels
## **Trading Strategies**
### **Buy Signals:**
- Price bounces off 0/8 (ultimate support)
- Price pulls back to 3/8 in an uptrend
- Price breaks above 4/8 after consolidation
### **Sell Signals:**
- Price rejects at 8/8 (ultimate resistance)
- Price rallies to 5/8 in a downtrend
- Price breaks below 4/8 after consolidation
### **Range Trading:**
- Buy near 3/8, sell near 5/8 when price is ranging
- Use 4/8 as the pivot to determine trend direction
## **Key Advantages**
✅ **Objective levels** - No subjective placement
✅ **Self-adjusting** - Automatically recalculates based on recent price action
✅ **Clear trading zones** - Easy to identify support/resistance
✅ **Works on all timeframes** - From 1-minute to monthly charts
✅ **Combines with other indicators** - Works well with RSI, MACD, etc.
## **Important Notes**
- The indicator is **dynamic** - levels update as new highs/lows form
- **4/8 is the most critical level** - price above = bullish, below = bearish
- When price reaches overshoot levels (±1/8, ±2/8), expect strong reversals
- Works best in trending markets; can give false signals in choppy conditions
This geometric approach to support/resistance has been used by traders for decades and remains popular due to its objective, mathematical nature!
Ichimoku Cloud Indicator [TradingFinder] Kinko Hyo Cross Alerts🔵 Introduction
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is one of the most powerful and complete trading indicators in technical analysis. Originally developed by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, the Ichimoku system combines multiple tools in one indicator, providing traders with instant insights into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum. Unlike simple moving averages (SMA – Simple Moving Average), the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo – Cloud) integrates dynamic elements that help traders forecast potential price action with greater clarity.
The Ichimoku Indicator (Ichimoku Signal System) is widely used across global markets, from Forex trading (FX – Foreign Exchange) to stocks, indices, and even cryptocurrencies. Its popularity comes from its ability to generate clear buy signals and sell signals based on the interaction of its components: Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line), Kijun Sen (Base Line), Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B, and Chikou Span (Lagging Line). When combined, these lines create the Ichimoku Cloud, which visually represents the balance between price action and market structure.
Ichimoku Cloud Lines Formulas :
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen / Conversion Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 9 periods => (9-PH + 9-PL) ÷ 2
Base Line (Kijun Sen / Base Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 26 periods => (26-PH + 26-PL) ÷ 2
Leading Span A (Senkou Span A / Leading Span A) : Average of the Conversion Line and Base Line, plotted 26 periods ahead => (Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) ÷ 2
Leading Span B (Senkou Span B / Leading Span B) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 52 periods, plotted 26 periods ahead => (52-PH + 52-PL) ÷ 2
Lagging Span (Chikou Span / Lagging Span) : Current closing price, plotted 26 periods behind.
One of the biggest advantages of the Ichimoku Trading Strategy (Ichimoku Cloud Trading System) is that it allows traders to identify the market condition at a glance. When the price is above the Kumo (Cloud), it indicates a bullish trend (uptrend). When the price is below the Kumo, the market is in a bearish trend (downtrend). And when the price is inside the cloud, the market is ranging (sideways trend). This simplicity and visual clarity make Ichimoku an essential indicator for both beginner traders and professional analysts.
The Ichimoku Cloud Indicator (Ichimoku Technical Analysis Tool) continues to be one of the most reliable charting methods. Traders often consider it superior to basic moving averages (MA – Moving Average) or exponential moving averages (EMA – Exponential Moving Average), because it not only shows trend direction but also highlights potential future support and resistance levels. With its unique combination of trend analysis, price forecasting, and trading signals, Ichimoku remains a core strategy in modern trading systems.
🔵 How to Use
The Ichimoku Cloud is more than just a set of lines; it’s a complete trading system that helps traders identify trends, momentum, and key support and resistance levels. By combining its five lines Conversion Line, Base Line, Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and Lagging Span traders can develop clear buy and sell strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Direction
Bullish Trend (Uptrend) : Price is above the cloud (Kumo), and the cloud is green. Leading Span A is above Leading Span B, signaling strong upward momentum.
Bearish Trend (Downtrend) : Price is below the cloud, and the cloud is red. Leading Span A is below Leading Span B, confirming a downward momentum.
Ranging / Sideways Market : Price is inside the cloud, indicating indecision and consolidation. Traders often avoid opening strong positions during these periods.
🟣 Buy Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A buy signal occurs when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses above the Base Line (Kijun Sen). The signal is strongest when this crossover happens above the cloud.
Price Above Base Line : If the price moves above the Base Line while in an uptrend, it confirms bullish momentum and provides a favorable entry point.
Cloud Support Pullback : During a pullback in an uptrend, the price may touch or slightly enter the cloud. Traders can use the cloud as a dynamic support zone for buying opportunities.
Lagging Span Confirmation : Ensure the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is above the price of 26 periods ago to confirm the strength of the bullish trend.
🟣 Sell Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A sell signal is generated when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses below the Base Line (Kijun Sen). This signal is strongest when it occurs below the cloud.
Price Below Base Line : If the price falls below the Base Line in a downtrend, it confirms bearish momentum and strengthens the sell setup.
Cloud Resistance Pullback : During a bounce in a downtrend, the cloud acts as a resistance zone. Traders can enter sell positions when price approaches or touches the cloud from below.
Lagging Span Confirmation : The Lagging Span should be below the price of 26 periods ago, confirming downward momentum.
🟣 Cloud Breakout Signals
A strong buy occurs when the price breaks above the cloud from below, signaling a potential trend reversal.
A strong sell occurs when the price breaks below the cloud from above, indicating a shift toward a bearish trend.
🟣 Combining Signals for Stronger Entries
For higher probability trades, combine multiple signals : trend direction (cloud color and position), crossovers (Tenkan/Kijun), and Lagging Span position.
Avoid trading against the overall trend. For example, avoid buying when price is below a red cloud or selling when price is above a green cloud.
🔵 Setting
Tenkan Sen Period : Lookback period for Conversion Line (default: 9).
Kijun Sen Period : Lookback period for Base Line (default: 26).
Span B Period : Lookback period for Leading Span B, forms one Cloud boundary (default: 52).
Shift Lines : Periods forward for Cloud / backward for Lagging Span (default: 26).
Cross Tenkan/Kijun Alert : Alert on Conversion/Base Line crossover.
Cross Price/Tenkan Alert : Alert when price crosses Tenkan Sen.
Cross Price/Kijun Alert : Alert when price crosses Kijun Sen
🔵 Conclusion
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is much more than a simple indicator it is a complete trading system that combines trend detection, momentum analysis, and support/resistance identification in one view. By interpreting the position of price relative to the cloud, the interaction between Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun Sen (Base Line), the leading spans (Senkou Span A and B), and the Chikou Span (Lagging Line), traders can identify potential buy and sell opportunities with higher confidence.
The main advantage of the Ichimoku Cloud is its ability to provide a “one-look equilibrium” snapshot of the market. It highlights bullish trends when the price is above the cloud, bearish conditions when the price is below it, and indecision or transition when the price is inside the cloud. Crossovers, cloud breakouts, and confirmations by the Chikou Span strengthen the trading signals.
However, traders should keep in mind the limitations of the Ichimoku system. It is based on historical data and should not be used in isolation. Combining it with other tools such as RSI, volume analysis, or candlestick patterns can significantly improve accuracy and reduce false signals.

Dynamic EMA Stack Support & ResistanceEvery trader needs reliable support and resistance — but static zones and lagging indicators won't cut it in fast-moving markets. This script combines a Fibonacci-based 5-EMA stacking system and left/right pivots that create dynamic support & resistance logic to uncover real-time structural shifts & momentum zones that actually adapt to price action. This isn’t just a mashup — it’s a complete built-from-the-ground-up support & resistance engine designed for scalpers, intraday traders, and trend followers alike.
🧠 🧠 🧠What It Does🧠 🧠 🧠
This script uses two powerful engines working in sync:
1️⃣ EMA Stack (5-EMA Framework)
Built on Fibonacci-based lengths: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, (configurable) this stack identifies:
🔹 Bullish Stack: EMAs aligned from fastest to slowest (uptrend confirmation)
🔹 Bearish Stack: EMAs aligned inversely (downtrend confirmation)
🟡 Narrowing Zones: When EMAs compress within ATR thresholds → possible breakout or reversal zone
🎯 Labels identify key transitions like:
✅"Begin Bear Trend?"
✅"Uptrend SPRT"
✅"RES?" (resistance test)
2️⃣ Pivot-Based Projection Engine
Using classic Left/Right Bar pivot logic, the script:
📌 Detects early-stage swing highs/lows before full confirmation
📈 Projects horizontal S/R lines that adapt to market structure
🔁 Keeps lines active until a new pivot replaces them
🧩 Syncs beautifully with EMA stack for confluence zones
🎯🎯🎯Key Features for Traders🎯🎯🎯
✅ Trend Detection
→ EMA order reveals real-time bias (bullish, bearish, compression)
✅ Dynamic S/R Zones
→ Historical support/resistance levels auto-draw and extend
✅ Smart Labeling

These zones highlight where major institutional activity, trap setups, or real breakouts/reversals are most likely, removing guesswork and giving you a clear reference for entries, exits, and stop placements.
5. Clear Action/Direction
Intent:
Traders need certainty—what does the market want right now? Most indicators are vague.
In this Indicator:
Your dashboard always displays in plain words (like “BUY”, “SELL”, or “WAIT”) what action makes sense in the current market phase. Whether it’s a bull trap, volume spike, wick reversal, or exhaustion—it’s interpreted and explained clearly. No more confusion—just direct, real-time advice.
6. For Everyone (Beginner to Pro)
Intent:
Most advanced indicators are overwhelming for new traders; simple ones lack depth for professionals.
In this Indicator:
It is simple enough for a beginner—just add it to the chart and instantly see what action to consider. At the same time, it includes advanced adaptive analysis, multi-timeframe logic, and customizable settings so professional traders can fine-tune it for their strategies.
7. Ideal Usage and User Benefits
Instant Decision Support:
Whenever you’re unsure about a trade, just look at the indicator’s suggestion for clarity.
Entry Learning:
Beginners get real-time “practice” by not only seeing signals, but also the reason behind them—improving your chart reading and market understanding.
Screen Time & Stress Reduction:
Clear, relevant information only; no noise, less fatigue, faster decisions.
Makes Trading Confident & Simple:
The smart dashboard splits actionable levels (HTF, LTF, action) so you never miss a move, avoid traps, and stay aligned with high-probability trades.
8. Advanced Input Settings (Smart Customization)
Explained with Examples:
Enable Wick Analysis:
Finds candles with strong upper/lower wicks (signs of rejection/buying/selling force), alerting you to hidden reversals and protecting from FOMO entries.
Enable Absorption:
Detects when heavy order flow from one side is “absorbed” by the other (shows where institutional buyers/sellers are likely active, helps spot fake breakouts).
Enable Unusual Breakout:
Highlights real breakouts—large volatility plus high volume—so you catch genuine moves and avoid random spikes.
Enable Range/Expansion:
Smartly flags sudden range expansions—when the market goes from quiet to volatile—so you can act at the start of real trends.

Vagas-dctang(8~13)Overview
The Vegas Tunnel EMA 8-13 is a refined technical analysis indicator that utilizes two key exponential moving averages (8-period and 13-period EMAs) to create a dynamic tunnel system for identifying trend direction and potential support/resistance zones. This indicator is specifically designed to help traders visualize price action within the context of short-term trend dynamics.
Key Features
✅ Dual EMA Tunnel System: Creates a visual tunnel between 8 EMA (fast) and 13 EMA (slow) to identify trend channels ✅ Dynamic Support Detection: The tunnel acts as dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends ✅ Trend Confirmation: Price position relative to the tunnel helps confirm the current market trend ✅ Entry/Exit Signals: Tunnel crossovers and price interactions provide clear trading signals ✅ Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works effectively across various timeframes from scalping to swing trading
How It Works
The Vegas Tunnel EMA 8-13 operates on the principle that shorter-period EMAs react more quickly to price changes, creating a responsive tunnel system:
Bullish Tunnel: When 8 EMA > 13 EMA, the tunnel indicates an upward trend with potential support zones
Bearish Tunnel: When 8 EMA < 13 EMA, the tunnel indicates a downward trend with potential resistance zones
Tunnel Width: The distance between EMAs indicates trend strength and volatility
Price Interaction: Bounces off the tunnel boundaries suggest trend continuation, while breaks may signal reversals
Trading Applications
Trend Following: Use tunnel direction to align trades with the prevailing trend
Support/Resistance Trading: Enter long positions when price bounces off tunnel support, short when rejected at resistance
Breakout Strategy: Trade tunnel breaks as potential trend continuation or reversal signals
Risk Management: Use tunnel boundaries as dynamic stop-loss levels
Advantages Over Traditional Moving Averages
Reduced Noise: The tunnel system filters out minor price fluctuations
Visual Clarity: Easy identification of trend channels and key levels
Faster Response: 8-13 period combination provides quicker signals than longer-term systems
Versatile Application: Suitable for various trading styles and market conditions
Best Practices
Combine with volume analysis for stronger signal confirmation
Consider higher timeframe tunnel direction for context
Use proper risk management with position sizing
Backtest on your preferred instruments and timeframes
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking a clean, effective tool for trend analysis and dynamic support/resistance identification in fast-moving markets.

Description: Controls sensitivity of volume spike detection for zone identification, higher values require more significant volume increases
Volume MA Length
Default: 15, Range: 1+
Description: Period for volume moving average baseline calculation, affects volume spike sensitivity
Max Zone Height %
Default: 0.5%, Range: 0.05%+
Description: Filters out wide price bars, keeping only thin liquidity zones as percentage of current price
Confidence Logic Settings
Test Observation Window
Default: 20 bars, Range: 2+
Description: Number of bars to monitor zone tests for confidence calculation, longer windows provide more stable readings
Clean Break Threshold
Default: 1.5 ATR, Range: 0.1+
Description: ATR multiple required for zone invalidation, higher values make zones more persistent
Visual Settings
Smoothing Method
Default: EMA, Options: SMA/EMA/WMA/ALMA
Description: Algorithm for signal smoothing, EMA responds faster while SMA provides more stability
Smoothing Length
Default: 5, Range: 1-50
Description: Period for smoothing calculation, higher values create smoother lines with more lag
✅ Best Use Cases
Trending market analysis where institutional zones provide reliable support/resistance levels
Breakout confirmation by validating zone strength before position entry
Divergence analysis when confidence shifts between support and resistance levels
Risk management through identification of high-confidence institutional backing
Market structure analysis for understanding institutional sentiment changes
⚠️ Limitations
Performs best in liquid markets with clear institutional participation
May produce false signals during low-volume or holiday trading periods
Requires sufficient price history for accurate confidence calculations
Confidence readings can fluctuate rapidly during high-impact news events
Manual fallback zones may not reflect actual institutional activity
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Detection: First Pine Script indicator to automatically identify thin liquidity zones using sophisticated volume analysis
Dual-Sided Analysis: Simultaneously tracks institutional confidence for both support and resistance levels
Mathematical Precision: Uses sigmoid functions for enhanced accuracy in confidence percentage calculations
Real-Time Processing: Continuously evaluates institutional defense patterns as market conditions change
Visual Innovation: Advanced smoothing options and gradient visualization for superior chart clarity
🔬 How It Works
1. Zone Identification Process:
Scans for high-volume bars that exceed the volume threshold multiplier
Filters bars by maximum zone height percentage to identify thin liquidity conditions
Stores qualified zones with proximity threshold filtering for relevance
2. Confidence Calculation Process:
Monitors price interaction with identified zones during observation windows
Measures volume ratios and adverse excursions during zone tests
Applies sigmoid function processing to normalize raw data into confidence percentiles
3. Real-Time Analysis Process:
Continuously updates confidence readings as new market data becomes available
Tracks institutional defense success rates and zone validation patterns
Provides visual and numerical feedback through the oscillator display
💡 Note:
The ICO works best when combined with traditional technical analysis and proper risk management. Higher confidence readings indicate stronger institutional backing but should be confirmed with price action and volume analysis. Consider using multiple timeframes for comprehensive market structure understanding.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
PDH/PDL (prev RTH) + Current ETH High/LowDescription:

Smarter Money Concepts - Wyckoff Springs & Upthrusts [PhenLabs]📊Smarter Money Concepts - Wyckoff Springs & Upthrusts
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
Discover institutional manipulation in real-time with this advanced Wyckoff indicator that detects Springs (accumulation phases) and Upthrusts (distribution phases). It identifies when price tests support or resistance on high volume, followed by a strong recovery, signaling potential reversals where smart money accumulates or distributes positions. This tool solves the common problem of missing these subtle phase transitions, helping traders anticipate trend changes and avoid traps in volatile markets.
By combining volume spike detection, ATR-normalized recovery strength, and a sigmoid probability model, it filters out weak signals and highlights only high-confidence setups. Whether you’re swing trading or day trading, this indicator provides clear visual cues to align with institutional flows, improving entry timing and risk management.
🚀Points of Innovation
Sigmoid-based probability threshold for signal filtering, ensuring only statistically significant Wyckoff patterns trigger alerts
ATR-normalized recovery measurement that adapts to market volatility, unlike static recovery checks in traditional indicators
Customizable volume spike multiplier to distinguish institutional volume from retail noise
Integrated dashboard legend with position and size options for personalized chart visualization
Hidden probability plots for advanced users to analyze underlying math without chart clutter
🔧Core Components
Support/Resistance Calculator: Scans a user-defined lookback period to establish dynamic levels for Spring and Upthrust detection
Volume Spike Detector: Compares current volume to a 10-period SMA, multiplied by a configurable factor to identify significant surges
Recovery Strength Analyzer: Uses ATR to measure price recovery after breaks, normalizing for different market conditions
Probability Model: Applies sigmoid function to combine volume and recovery data, generating a confidence score for each potential signal
🔥Key Features
Spring Detection: Spots accumulation when price dips below support but recovers strongly, helping traders enter longs at potential bottoms
Upthrust Detection: Identifies distribution when price spikes above resistance but falls back, alerting to possible short opportunities at tops
Customizable Inputs: Adjust lookback, volume multiplier, ATR period, and probability threshold to match your trading style and market
Visual Signals: Clear + (green) and - (red) labels on charts for instant recognition of accumulation and distribution phases
Alert System: Triggers notifications for signals and probability thresholds, keeping you informed without constant monitoring
🎨Visualization
Spring Signal: Green upward label (+) below the bar, indicating strong recovery after support break for accumulation
Upthrust Signal: Red downward label (-) above the bar, showing failed breakout above resistance for distribution
Dashboard Legend: Customizable table explaining signals, positioned anywhere on the chart for quick reference
📖Usage Guidelines
Core Settings
Support/Resistance Lookback
Default: 20
Range: 5-50
Description: Sets bars back for S/R levels; lower for recent sensitivity, higher for stable long-term zones – ideal for spotting Wyckoff phases
Volume Spike Multiplier
Default: 1.5
Range: 1.0-3.0
Description: Multiplies 10-period volume SMA; higher values filter to significant spikes, confirming institutional involvement in patterns
ATR for Recovery Measurement
Default: 5
Range: 2-20
Description: ATR period for recovery strength; shorter for volatile markets, longer for smoother analysis of post-break recoveries
Phase Transition Probability Threshold
Default: 0.9
Range: 0.5-0.99
Description: Minimum sigmoid probability for signals; higher for strict filtering, ensuring only high-confidence Wyckoff setups
Display Settings

✅Best Use Cases
Swing Trading: Identify Springs for long entries in downtrends turning to accumulation
Day Trading: Catch Upthrusts for short scalps during intraday distribution at resistance
Trend Reversal Confirmation: Use in conjunction with other indicators to validate phase shifts in ranging markets
Volatility Plays: Spot signals in high-volume environments like news events for quick reversals
⚠️Limitations
May produce false signals in low-volume or sideways markets where volume spikes are unreliable
Depends on historical data, so performance varies in unprecedented market conditions or gaps
Probability model is statistical, not predictive, and cannot account for external factors like news
💡What Makes This Unique
Probability-Driven Filtering: Sigmoid model combines multiple factors for superior signal quality over basic Wyckoff detectors
Adaptive Recovery: ATR normalization ensures reliability across assets and timeframes, unlike fixed-threshold tools
User-Centric Design: Tooltips, customizable dashboard, and alerts make it accessible yet powerful for all trader levels
🔬How It Works
Calculate S/R Levels:
Uses the highest high and the lowest low over the lookback period to set dynamic zones
Establishes baseline for detecting breaks in Wyckoff patterns
Detect Breaks and Recovery:
Checks for price breaking support/resistance, then recovering on volume
Measures recovery strength via ATR for volatility adjustment
Apply Probability Model:
Combines volume spike and recovery into a sigmoid function for confidence score
Triggers signal only if above threshold, plotting visuals and alerts
💡Note:
For optimal results, combine with price action analysis and test settings on historical charts. Remember, Wyckoff patterns are most effective in trending markets – use lower probability thresholds for practice, then increase for live trading to focus on high-quality setups.
Dynamic Support and Resistance V2 | AnonycryptousThe Dynamic Support and Resistance V2 indicator, an easy tool to identify key support, resistance, trendline levels, pivot points and volume data.
Pivot Points.
Calculates support, resistance and trendline levels using pivot points, which are derived from the high, low, and close prices of previous trading periods.
Customize the pivot calculation by using Close' or 'High/Low' and adjusting the lookback periods for both the left and right sides of the pivot calculation.
Pivot points are crucial for forecasting potential market turning points, so it allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
By using pivot points, traders can spot reversal and consolidation levels or trendlines early on, allowing them to react to them in time.
Volume Levels.
This option focuses on identifying support and resistance levels based on volume data, specifically the Point of Control.
The POC is the highest traded volume price level during a time period.
This POC calculation, allow traders to areas of significant trading levels as support or resistance zones.
Volume-based levels gives insights into market sentiment and showes strong support and resistance based on trading volume.
Traders can choose between pivot-based and volume-based levels or use both simultaneously, depending on their analysis.
The indicator offers custom colors, so the trader can customize their visual analysis to their own style.
It calculates the importance of each level based on the number of touches and the duration it holds.
