Cointegration Buy and Sell Signals [EdgeTerminal]The Cointegration Buy And Sell Signals is a sophisticated technical analysis tool to spot high-probability market turning points — before they fully develop on price charts.
Most reversal indicators rely on raw price action, visual patterns, or basic and common indicator logic — which often suffer in noisy or trending markets. In most cases, they lag behind the actual change in trend and provide useless and late signals.
This indicator is rooted in advanced concepts from statistical arbitrage, mean reversion theory, and quantitative finance, and it packages these ideas in a user-friendly visual format that works on any timeframe and asset class.
It does this by analyzing how the short-term and long-term EMAs behave relative to each other — and uses statistical filters like Z-score, correlation, volatility normalization, and stationarity tests to issue highly selective Buy and Sell signals.
This tool provides statistical confirmation of trend exhaustion, allowing you to trade mean-reverting setups. It fades overextended moves and uses signal stacking to reduce false entries. The entire indicator is based on a very interesting mathematically grounded model which I will get into down below.
Here’s how the indicator works at a high level:
EMAs as Anchors: It starts with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — one short-term and one long-term — to track market direction.
Statistical Spread (Regression Residuals): It performs a rolling linear regression between the short and long EMA. Instead of using the raw difference (short - long), it calculates the regression residual, which better models their natural relationship.
Normalize the Spread: The spread is divided by historical price volatility (ATR) to make it scale-invariant. This ensures the indicator works on low-priced stocks, high-priced indices, and crypto alike.
Z-Score: It computes a Z-score of the normalized spread to measure how “extreme” the current deviation is from its historical average.
Dynamic Thresholds: Unlike most tools that use fixed thresholds (like Z = ±2), this one calculates dynamic thresholds using historical percentiles (e.g., top 10% and bottom 10%) so that it adapts to the asset's current behavior to reduce false signals based on market’s extreme volatility at a certain time.
Z-Score Momentum: It tracks the direction of the Z-score — if Z is extreme but still moving away from zero, it's too early. It waits for reversion to start (Z momentum flips).
Correlation Check: Uses a rolling Pearson correlation to confirm the two EMAs are still statistically related. If they diverge (low correlation), no signal is shown.
Stationarity Filter (ADF-like): Uses the volatility of the regression residual to determine if the spread is stationary (mean-reverting) — a key concept in cointegration and statistical arbitrage. It’s not possible to build an exact ADF filter in Pine Script so we used the next best thing.
Signal Control: Prevents noisy charts and overtrading by ensuring no back-to-back buy or sell signals. Each signal must alternate and respect a cooldown period so you won’t be overwhelmed and won’t get a messy chart.
Important Notes to Remember:
The whole idea behind this indicator is to try to use some stat arb models to detect shifting patterns faster than they appear on common indicators, so in some cases, some assumptions are made based on historic values.
This means that in some cases, the indicator can “jump” into the conclusion too quickly. Although we try to eliminate this by using stationary filters, correlation checks, and Z-score momentum detection, there is still a chance some signals that are generated can be too early, in the stock market, that's the same as being incorrect. So make sure to use this with other indicators to confirm the movement.
How To Use The Indicator:
You can use the indicator as a standalone reversal system, as a filter for overbought and oversold setups, in combination with other trend indicators and as a part of a signal stack with other common indicators for divergence spotting and fade trades.
The indicator produces simple buy and sell signals when all criteria is met. Based on our own testing, we recommend treating these signals as standalone and independent from each other . Meaning that if you take position after a buy signal, don’t wait for a sell signal to appear to exit the trade and vice versa.
This is why we recommend using this indicator with other advanced or even simple indicators as an early confirmation tool.
The Display Table:
The floating diagnostic table in the top-right corner of the chart is a key part of this indicator. It's a live statistical dashboard that helps you understand why a signal is (or isn’t) being triggered, and whether the market conditions are lining up for a potential reversal.
1. Z-Score
What it shows: The current Z-score value of the volatility-normalized spread between the short EMA and the regression line of the long EMA.
Why it matters: Z-score tells you how statistically extreme the current relationship is. A Z-score of:
0 = perfectly average
> +2 = very overbought
< -2 = very oversold
How to use it: Look for Z-score reaching extreme highs or lows (beyond dynamic thresholds). Watch for it to start reversing direction, especially when paired with green table rows (see below)
2. Z-Score Momentum
What it shows: The rate of change (ROC) of the Z-score:
Zmomentum=Zt − Zt − 1
Why it matters: This tells you if the Z-score is still stretching out (e.g., getting more overbought/oversold), or reverting back toward the mean.
How to use it: A positive Z-momentum after a very low Z-score = potential bullish reversal A negative Z-momentum after a very high Z-score = potential bearish reversal. Avoid signals when momentum is still pushing deeper into extremes
3. Correlation
What it shows: The rolling Pearson correlation coefficient between the short EMA and long EMA.
Why it matters: High correlation (closer to +1) means the EMAs are still statistically connected — a key requirement for cointegration or mean reversion to be valid.
How to use it: Look for correlation > 0.7 for reliable signals. If correlation drops below 0.5, ignore the Z-score — the EMAs aren’t moving together anymore
4. Stationary
What it shows: A simplified "Yes" or "No" answer to the question:
“Is the spread statistically stable (stationary) and mean-reverting right now?”
Why it matters: Mean reversion strategies only work when the spread is stationary — that is, when the distance between EMAs behaves like a rubber band, not a drifting cloud.
How to use it: A "Yes" means the indicator sees a consistent, stable spread — good for trading. "No" means the market is too volatile, disjointed, or chaotic for reliable mean reversion. Wait for this to flip to "Yes" before trusting signals
5. Last Signal
What it shows: The last signal issued by the system — either "Buy", "Sell", or "None"
Why it matters: Helps avoid confusion and repeated entries. Signals only alternate — you won’t get another Buy until a Sell happens, and vice versa.
How to use it: If the last signal was a "Buy", and you’re watching for a Sell, don’t act on more bullish signals. Great for systems where you only want one position open at a time
6. Bars Since Signal
What it shows: How many bars (candles) have passed since the last Buy or Sell signal.
Why it matters: Gives you context for how long the current condition has persisted
How to use it: If it says 1 or 2, a signal just happened — avoid jumping in late. If it’s been 10+ bars, a new opportunity might be brewing soon. You can use this to time exits if you want to fade a recent signal manually
Indicator Settings:
Short EMA: Sets the short-term EMA period. The smaller the number, the more reactive and more signals you get.
Long EMA: Sets the slow EMA period. The larger this number is, the smoother baseline, and more reliable trend bases are generated.
Z-Score Lookback: The period or bars used for mean & std deviation of spread between short and long EMAs. Larger values result in smoother signals with fewer false positives.
Volatility Window: This value normalizes the spread by historical volatility. This allows you to prevent scale distortion, showing you a cleaner and better chart.
Correlation Lookback: How many periods or how far back to test correlation between slow and long EMAs. This filters out false positives when EMAs lose alignment.
Hurst Lookback: The multiplier to approximate stationarity. Lower leads to more sensitivity to regime change, higher produces a more stricter filtering.
Z Threshold Percentile: This value sets how extreme Z-score must be to trigger a signal. For example, 90 equals only top/bottom 10% of extremes, 80 = more frequent.
Min Bars Between Signals: This hard stop prevents back-to-back signals. The idea is to avoid over-trading or whipsaws in volatile markets even when Hurst lookback and volatility window values are not enough to filter signals.
Some More Recommendations:
We recommend trying different EMA pairs (10/50, 21/100, 5/20) for different asset behaviors. You can set percentile to 85 or 80 if you want more frequent but looser signals. You can also use the Z-score reversion monitor for powerful confirmation.
Trend Analysis

This indicator calculates and displays the trend angle (in degrees) based on the linear regression of the selected source (default: close) over a user-defined lookback period (default: 21 bars).
The trend angle gives a quick visual reference of the current market slope — positive (uptrend) or negative (downtrend).
A dashboard table shows the trend angle directly on the chart, with a background color:
🟩 Green background for positive angles (uptrend)
🟥 Red background for negative angles (downtrend)
🔧 Features:
Customizable Lookback Period: Set the number of candles to consider for trend calculation.
Source Selection: Apply the analysis to close, open, high, low, or any other price series.
Dashboard Positioning: Choose where the dashboard appears (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Clean Table Design: Minimalistic and easy-to-read dashboard with automatic background color highlighting based on trend direction.
⚙️ How It Works:
It uses Linear Regression to measure the slope between two consecutive points.
Converts the slope into degrees using the arctangent function (atan) for a geometric interpretation of trend strength and direction.
Updates the dashboard table live with the latest angle value.
✅ Script Highlights:
Non-repainting: Once a bar closes, its value is fixed.
Efficient performance: Lightweight table visualization with no heavy calculations.
Clear trading signals: Positive angles suggest bullish momentum, negative angles suggest bearish momentum.

Momentum Wave Oscillator📈 Momentum Wave Oscillator (MWO) 📈
The Momentum Wave Oscillator (MWO) is a precision-designed tool for traders who want early, reliable insight into market shifts — before they fully appear on price charts.
Instead of reacting late to moves, MWO is engineered to anticipate changes in momentum by tracking market pressure within a dynamic range.
Its built-in bands and visual cues make it simple to spot key moments where momentum exhaustion, reversals, or fresh breakouts are most likely to occur.
How to Use:
Buy Zones: When the oscillator moves up from lower regions (typically below 20), it may indicate momentum building to the upside.
Sell Zones: When the oscillator moves down from upper regions (typically above 80), it may suggest momentum starting to weaken.
Dynamic Bands:
Unlike conventional fixed levels like 20 and 80, MWO features dynamic adaptive bands that better reflect real-time changes in market behavior.
Markets are fluid — volatility and momentum strength vary from cycle to cycle. Static zones can miss important shifts or produce false signals.
The dynamic bands allow the indicator to adapt naturally to changing conditions, offering more precise context for overbought, oversold, or breakout environments.
Background Colors and Labels:
Automatic highlights appear when potential turning points are detected, allowing traders to act quickly without chart clutter.
Best Practices:
Use the MWO as a confirmation tool alongside your existing strategy (trendlines, support/resistance, volume spikes, etc.).
Look for agreement between the MWO and price action for higher probability entries.
Avoid relying on it in isolation during extremely low-volume periods, where momentum may appear artificially weak or strong.
Adjust sensitivity settings depending on your trading style (scalping vs swing trading).
Important Note:
The MWO is designed for educational and informational purposes. No indicator can predict the future with certainty. Always combine it with proper risk management and your personal trading plan.
Custom Performance TableThis script generates a table designed to provide a concise yet highly customizable overview of the performance of multiple financial instruments, displayed directly on the chart. The table can include up to 40 tickers, each individually configurable, with values updated in real time based on either the current chart timeframe or a specific user-selected timeframe.
NOTE : The update frequency of the table values depends on the refresh rate of the chart's main ticker to which the indicator is applied. To ensure a consistent and reliable data feed, especially when monitoring heterogeneous instruments, it is recommended to apply the indicator to a highly liquid and continuously traded asset, such as BTCUSD.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATION MODES
You can choose from three different performance calculation modes:
1) Change % (Percentage Change)
Displays the percentage change of the current price compared to the previous candle within the selected timeframe.
(Current Price - Previous Price) / Previous Price * 100
This mode provides an immediate and straightforward measure of each instrument's percentage movement, useful for quick visual comparisons of relative strength among assets.
2) Z-Score
The Z-Score measures how much the current price variation deviates from the historical average variation, relative to the standard deviation of those variations.
(Current Variation - Average Variation) / Standard Deviation of Variations
The result indicates how statistically unusual a movement is:
- Values near 0 suggest normal variations.
- Values above ±2 indicate statistically significant deviations.
This is a valuable tool for identifying overbought/oversold conditions or market stress events and is often used in mean reversion strategies.
NOTE : Due to technical constraints, Z-Score can only be calculated when the selected timeframe matches the chart's timeframe exactly.
3) RAROC (Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital)
RAROC expresses an asset's performance in relation to the risk taken, measured through its volatility (standard deviation of price).
Percentage Change / Standard Deviation of Price
It allows for an assessment of return efficiency in relation to volatility.
A high RAROC value indicates a high return relative to the risk, making it a useful tool for comparing assets with different risk profiles. It is especially suitable for portfolio selection and allocation purposes.
TABLE CONFIGURATION
Each ticker can be customized with its own label, colors, and position in the table.
Each row can display the ticker name or a custom label, which, at the user's discretion, can either replace the name or be shown as an informational tooltip.
The table can be placed anywhere on the chart using horizontal and vertical offset parameters. Thanks to offset support, you can, for example, create financial market overview layouts. This can be done by completely “cleaning” the chart from price and indicators using TradingView settings, and then displaying multiple tables simultaneously (see the example chart published here).
Advanced customization options are also available for the table's appearance, including font settings, colors, borders, and more.
CALCULATION TIMEFRAME
The indicator allows the user to force a specific timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) when applied to intraday charts.
However, for Z-Score mode, the selected timeframe must match the chart's timeframe exactly to ensure correct computation. Otherwise, the script will halt until settings are properly adjusted.
USAGE NOTES
Custom Performance Table is a flexible and adaptable tool, suitable for both intraday operations and medium- to long-term analysis. It is designed for traders and analysts who need to compare assets based on quantitative metrics, whether simple (like percentage change) or more advanced and risk-adjusted (such as Z-Score and RAROC).

PivotBox by Nadeem Al-QahwiPivotBox by Nadeem Al-Qahwi
General Idea of the Indicator: The PivotBox indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify key reversal points in the market based on pivot highs and pivot lows. The indicator helps traders to detect breakout and breakdown opportunities based on past price movements, guiding informed trading decisions.
Indicator Functions:
Key Reversal Points (Pivot Points):
The indicator identifies pivot highs and pivot lows over a user-defined period, helping traders spot significant price levels in the market.
These points are plotted on the chart, showing where market reversals may occur.
Breakouts and Breakdowns:
The indicator identifies breakouts when the price moves above a pivot high or breakdowns when the price falls below a pivot low.
Once these breakouts or breakdowns are detected, the indicator draws lines indicating the critical price levels for visual reference.
Trend Levels using Zero-Lag MA:
The indicator includes an option to add a Zero-Lag Moving Average (Zero-Lag MA) to display the overall trend in the market. This moving average helps filter out noise and identify the general market direction, improving trade decision-making.
Line Styles:
The pivot points (highs and lows) are displayed using different line styles, such as solid, dashed, or dotted lines. The user can customize the style based on their preference.
These lines represent the breakouts or breakdown levels in the market.
Alerts:
The indicator can activate alerts when a breakout or breakdown occurs. Users can customize the alerts to notify them when specific conditions are met, ensuring that they do not miss significant price movements.
Input Variables:
Period (prd): The time period over which the pivot highs and lows are calculated. The user can define this period based on their trading strategy.
Max Breakout Length (bo_len): The maximum time duration for a breakout or breakdown to occur. This variable helps determine the relevance of the price movement.
Threshold Rate (cwidthu): The width percentage that helps to define the price area for breakouts and breakdowns.
Line Style (lstyle): Allows the user to choose the style of lines used to display the pivot points (solid, dashed, or dotted).
Minimum Number of Tests (mintest): The minimum number of tests required before a breakout or breakdown is considered valid.
How the Indicator Works:
The indicator first calculates the pivot highs and lows based on the user-defined period (Period).
It then tracks price movements to detect if a breakout or breakdown occurs.
When a breakout or breakdown is confirmed, the indicator draws lines at these levels and shows the user the new price direction.
Alerts can be triggered based on predefined conditions such as when a breakout or breakdown occurs.
The Zero-Lag MA helps the user visualize the trend, adding another layer of analysis to the market movements.
Key Benefits:
Accurate Reversal Point Analysis: Helps traders identify key entry and exit points based on precise technical analysis.
Breakout and Breakdown Detection: Allows traders to spot breakout and breakdown opportunities in real-time.
Customizable Alerts: Users can set up alerts to notify them when a breakout or breakdown happens, ensuring they don't miss important market moves.
Flexible Customization: The indicator offers various options to customize the display (line styles, alerts, trendlines), catering to different trading strategies.
DMM Face-Melter Pro v2🔧 Core Components & Functionality
📐 Dynamic Fibonacci Levels (Slow)
Five ultra-reliable zones based on extended Fibonacci sequences (think 377, 610, 987, etc.).
Specifically designed to remain hidden until price proximity matters.
When price action moves within ~10% of one of these levels, it’s automatically activated and displayed.
As price moves away, the level enters a cooldown phase and stops printing on the chart.
Especially powerful in swing setups and macro timeframes, where these levels often mark major turning points or hidden support/resistance, yet are not routinely tracked due their long length.
🧊 Cool 9 + Gradient Suite (Fast to Medium)
Cool 9: A fast-reacting line with a smooth visual gradient stretching to the Fibonacci 34. The gradient visually communicates momentum decay and near-term exhaustion.
Cool 21 and Cool 55: Optional overlays that round out this trio of reactive lines. These mid-length Fib levels are ideal for spotting rhythm-based reversals and continuation patterns.
All three have proven effectiveness across all timeframes, from intraday to monthly charts, with an emphasis on oscillation structure.
🌫 Death Metal Bands (Candle Coloring Logic)
Candle colors shift dynamically based on interaction with a Bollinger Bands–inspired cloud.
Candles get brighter or darker as they close deeper into the upper or lower cloud, giving an intuitive sense of price extremes without extra lines.
The color sequence resets when price enters the middle zone.
Choose between:
Standard Mode: Green/red candles shift toward white/gray.
Low-Stress Mode: Cream/gray candles shift toward purple/blue—for reduced screen fatigue and clearer judgment in high-volatility conditions.
🟨 200-Day Cloud
A cloud-based visualization of the 200-period moving average, enhanced with an embedded Fibonacci level.
Helps identify high-confluence zones that institutional traders often react to, but which are rarely marked with this level of refinement.
🧠 How to Use It
This script was built for traders who need high-signal input and low chart noise:
Swing traders can use the dynamic Fibonacci levels to monitor hidden zones where price often pivots.
Trend followers can lean on the Cool 9 suite to confirm direction and strength in real time.
Visual and discretionary traders will benefit from candle color cues that highlight exhaustion without clashing with other systems or charts.
Paul_BDT Osc. CHOPOverview:
This indicator is an advanced multi-timeframe Choppiness Index tool, designed to help assess market conditions across various timeframes simultaneously. It assists in identifying whether the market is in a trending or ranging (choppy) phase, enhancing decision-making for both scalping and intraday strategies.
This script integrates:
• Choppiness Index computation (with EMA smoothing and Bollinger Bands).
• Multi-timeframe analysis (preset scalping/intraday setups or manual selection).
• Visual aids (color-coded plots, labels, and background highlights).
• Alert mechanisms for key conditions (choppy breakouts and trends).
⸻
Key Features & Functionalities:
1. Choppiness Index Calculation:
• The Choppiness Index (CHOP) quantifies market volatility—whether price action is consolidating (high CHOP values) or trending (low CHOP values).
• Formula:
\text{CHOP} = 100 \times \frac{\log\left(\frac{\sum \text{True Range}}{\text{High}{\text{max}} - \text{Low}{\text{min}}}\right)}{\log(\text{Period})}
• It is smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for stability.
• Bollinger Bands are applied to the CHOP for dynamic range visualization.
⸻
2. Multi-Timeframe Support:
• Preset Modes:
• Scalping Setups: 1min, 3min, 5min, 15min.
• Intraday Setups: 15min, 30min, 1H, 4H.
• Manual Configuration: Three customizable timeframes (e.g., daily, 3-day, weekly).
• Dynamic Display: Traders can choose which timeframes to visualize and whether to display labels with timeframe identifiers.
⸻
3. Visualization Aids:
• Plots:
• Primary CHOP with Bollinger Bands on the current chart’s timeframe (UT).
• Additional CHOP plots across selected timeframes, color-coded for easy differentiation.
• Labels:
• Labels are displayed on the chart for each timeframe, showing the CHOP value and its corresponding timeframe.
• These labels refresh every bar for clarity.
• Background Highlights:
• Signals choppy breakouts with a yellow overlay when the CHOP crosses below both its EMA and a set threshold (default: 50).
⸻
4. Alert System:
Two main alert types are built-in:
• Choppy Trend Alerts: Triggered when the CHOP crosses below the threshold (e.g., 50), signaling a potential shift toward a trending market.
• Choppy Spike Alerts: Activated when CHOP crosses below both its EMA and the threshold within a single candle—indicative of sudden shifts in market conditions.
• Alerts include:
• Directional bias (Long or Short based on candle close).
• Open/close levels.
• Stop-loss reference (previous bar’s high/low).
• Timestamp in the chosen time zone.
⸻
Strategic Application:
• Ranging Markets:
• CHOP values above threshold indicate high choppiness (consolidation).
• Suitable for range-bound strategies (mean reversion, scalping inside ranges).
• Trending Markets:
• CHOP values below threshold signal trending phases.
• Optimal for momentum or breakout strategies.
• Multi-Timeframe Edge:
• Cross-referencing CHOP conditions across multiple timeframes helps confirm higher probability setups.
• E.g., alignment between intraday and higher timeframes enhances confidence in trend continuations or reversals.
• Choppy Spikes:
• The spike detection (cross below both EMA and threshold within one candle) flags rapid transitions—potential breakout or breakdown scenarios.
⸻
Customization :
• Adapt CHOP period length and threshold based on asset volatility.
• Configure specific timeframes matching your strategy (scalping, intraday, swing).
• Enable or disable visual components (labels, background highlights, alerts) for a cleaner interface.
⸻
Conclusion:
This indicator provides a comprehensive and adaptable tool to monitor market structure dynamics across multiple timeframes. It’s particularly effective in discerning the right trading environment—whether to engage in trend-following or range-bound strategies. The integration of visual cues and proactive alerts ensures being informed of critical market transitions, enhancing timing and risk management.
Death Metal Fire & IceA dynamic support/resistance system built from modified Fibonacci-based moving averages, designed to assist with structure identification in trending markets — particularly when price is moving into uncharted territory.
🧠 Core Logic
Twelve Fibonacci-based moving averages are mathematically adjusted by the square root of a standard trading Fibonacci ratio to create projected zones above and around price. These dynamic levels are labeled L1 to L12 and automatically adjust with trend velocity and volatility.
Faster levels (L1–L5) often serve as immediate reaction zones in volatile markets and provide ceilings for rising price action.
Slower levels (L6–L12) tend to behave as longer-term structure — both above and below current price.
These levels are dynamic, non-static, and provide forward-looking structure that adapts as markets move. Price tends to range between these levels until conditions change, which becomes visually apparent through the breaking of support/resistance.
⚙️ Features
Smart Mode: Hides levels that are not relevant to current price proximity. Price action needs to get within 10% of the level for it to appear. If price action moves away from the level, there will be a cooldown period for the line to cease printing on the chart.
Gradient Mode: Fills space between levels with a visual overlay to help visualize distance and potential volatility.
Levels can be toggled on/off individually.
🧩 Use Case
Designed for trending markets where traditional support/resistance is unavailable or unreliable.
Applicable across all assets and timeframes — stocks, crypto, futures, etc.

NR4/NR7 + Trend + MACD + VWAP FilterThe Ultimate Momentum-Compression Strategy
This strategy merges the power of price compression and trend confirmation, ensuring you're trading when the market is coiled and ready to move. By combining multiple filters—NR4/NR7, trend alignment, MACD momentum, and VWAP support—this setup identifies high-probability trade opportunities in dynamic, trending stocks. Here's how it works:
NR4/NR7 Patterns: These are narrow-range days where the current price range is smaller than the previous 4 or 7 days. This signals potential breakout or continuation setups, as the market is compressing before making a move.
Trend Confirmation: To ensure you're not trading against the current trend, the price must be above the 20 EMA, and the 10 EMA must be above the 20 EMA. This confirms a bullish structure, with the price trending in your favour.
MACD Momentum: The fast MACD line must be above the slow MACD line, confirming the trend is not only intact but also gaining momentum.
VWAP Filter: Price must be above the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). This is the final confirmation that the market is in a strong, bullish phase, with buyers dominating the market.
By requiring all these conditions to align, this strategy takes the guesswork out of day trading. It ensures you're trading within a well-established trend, with compression patterns and momentum backing your trade. The result? You’re entering positions with confidence and clarity, poised to ride strong, sustained moves.
This strategy is for the trader who values both flexibility and discipline—able to capture dynamic moves while staying aligned with market structure and momentum. It’s a refined, systematic approach that makes decisions clear, without the emotional second-guessing.
Godfather of Support & Resistance Godfather of Support & Resistance
Overview
The Godfather of Support & Resistance script is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify critical support and resistance levels on their charts. These price levels are vital for understanding market behavior, as they often act as turning points where prices reverse, consolidate, or break through. By automating the detection of these levels, this script simplifies your trading decisions and enhances your technical analysis.
How It Works
Pivot Points for Level Detection:
The script uses pivot points to identify potential support (lows) and resistance (highs) levels:
A pivot high is a local peak (a high surrounded by lower highs).
A pivot low is a local trough (a low surrounded by higher lows).
You can adjust the Pivot Length (pivotLen) input to control the sensitivity of detection. Smaller values detect more levels, while larger values focus on major levels.
Dynamic Grouping with Tolerance:
The script dynamically groups nearby price levels using a tolerance percentage. This tolerance is based on the level's price, making it adaptive to all types of assets (low- and high-priced).
For example, if the tolerance is set to 1% and a level is at $100, levels within $1 are grouped together.
Touch Count for Significance:
The script tracks how many times the price interacts with each level (touch count). Only levels that meet or exceed the Minimum Touches (minTouches) input are displayed on the chart. This ensures only meaningful levels are highlighted.
Clear Visual Representation:
Resistance Levels (Red Lines): Represent areas where the price tends to reverse downward.
Support Levels (Green Lines): Represent areas where the price tends to reverse upward.
Labels are added to each level (optional) to display the price and the number of touches for better decision-making.
Inputs You Can Customize
Minimum Touches to Show Level:
Set the minimum number of price interactions required for a level to be displayed.
Maximum Lines to Keep:
Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed to keep your chart clean and focused.
Pivot Length:
Customize the sensitivity of pivot point detection. Smaller values detect more levels, while larger values focus on key levels.
Tolerance for Touch Detection (%):
Adjust the grouping tolerance as a percentage of the price. For example, 1% groups levels that are within 1% of each other.
How to Use
Apply the Script:
Add the script to your TradingView chart, and it will automatically detect and plot support and resistance levels.
Analyze the Levels:
Use Resistance Levels (red lines) as potential sell zones or areas to place stop-loss orders above.
Use Support Levels (green lines) as potential buy zones or areas to place stop-loss orders below.
Customize for Your Trading Style:
Adjust the inputs to match your preferred strategy and the timeframe or asset you're analyzing.
Example Use Case
Imagine you're analyzing a stock:
Resistance Level: The script identifies resistance at $150 with 3 touches. This might be a potential sell zone if the price struggles to break through.
Support Level: The script identifies support at $130 with 4 touches. This might be a potential buy zone if the price shows signs of bouncing upward.
Key Features
Automatically detects and plots support and resistance levels.
Tracks the number of price touches to filter out weak levels.
Adapts dynamically to price ranges using a percentage-based tolerance.
Fully customizable to suit different trading styles and assets.
Clean and professional chart display with a limit on the number of lines.

Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals [Bitwardex]⚙️🧠Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals
🔷Overview
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals is a Pine Script™ v6 indicator designed to visualize market trends and generate signals through a combination of volatility clustering, Gaussian smoothing, and adaptive trend calculations. Built as an overlay indicator, it integrates advanced techniques inspired by machine learning concepts, such as K-Means clustering, to adapt to changing market conditions. The script is highly customizable, includes a backtesting module, and supports alert conditions, making it suitable for traders exploring trend-based strategies and developers studying volatility-driven indicator design.
🔷Functionality
The indicator performs the following core functions:
• Volatility Clustering: Uses K-Means clustering to categorize market volatility into high, medium, and low states, adjusting trend sensitivity accordingly.
• Trend Calculation: Computes adaptive trend lines (SmartTrend) based on volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX filters.
• Signal Generation: Identifies potential buy and sell points through trend line crossovers and directional confirmation.
• Backtesting Module: Tracks trade outcomes based on the SmartTrend3 value, displaying win rate and total trades.
• Visualization: Plots trend lines with gradient colors and optional signal markers (bullish 🐮 and bearish 🐻).
• Alerts: Provides configurable alerts for trend shifts and volatility state changes.
🔷Technical Methodology
Volatility Clustering with K-Means
The indicator employs a K-Means clustering algorithm to classify market volatility, measured via the Average True Range (ATR), into three distinct clusters:
• Data Collection: Gathers ATR values over a user-defined training period (default: 100 bars).
• Centroid Initialization: Sets initial centroids at the highest, lowest, and midpoint ATR values within the training period.
• Iterative Clustering: Assigns ATR data points to the nearest centroid, recalculates centroid means, and repeats until convergence.
• Dynamic Adjustment: Assigns a volatility state (high, medium, or low) based on the closest centroid, adjusting the trend factor (e.g., tighter for high volatility, wider for low volatility).
This approach allows the indicator to adapt its sensitivity to varying market conditions, providing a data-driven foundation for trend calculations.
🔷Gaussian Smoothing
To enhance signal clarity and reduce noise, the indicator applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to:
• RSI: Smooths the Relative Strength Index (calculated from OHLC4) to filter short-term fluctuations.
• SmartTrend: Smooths the primary trend line for a more stable output.
The Gaussian kernel uses a sigma value derived from the user-defined smoothing length, ensuring mathematically consistent noise reduction.
🔷SmartTrend Calculation
The pineSmartTrend function is the core of the indicator, producing three trend lines:
• SmartTrend: The primary trend line, calculated using a volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX conditions.
• SmartTrend2: A secondary trend line with a wider factor (base factor * 1.382) for signal confirmation.
SmartTrend3: The average of SmartTrend and SmartTrend2, used for plotting and backtesting.
Key components of the calculation include:
• Dynamic Standard Deviation: Scales based on ATR relative to its 50-period smoothed average, with multipliers (1.0 to 1.4) applied according to volatility thresholds.
• RSI and ADX Filters: Requires RSI > 50 for bullish trends or < 50 for bearish trends, alongside ADX > 15 and rising to confirm trend strength.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands around price action, adjusted by the volatility cluster’s dynamic factor.
🔷Signal Generation
The generate_signals function generates signals as follows:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses above SmartTrend2 and the price is above SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses below SmartTrend2 and the price is below SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
Directional Logic: Tracks trend direction to filter out conflicting signals, ensuring alignment with the broader market context.
Signals are visualized as small circles with bullish (🐮) or bearish (🐻) emojis, with an option to toggle visibility.
🔷Backtesting
The get_backtest function evaluates signal outcomes using the SmartTrend3 value (rather than closing prices) to align with the trend-based methodology.
It tracks:
• Total Trades: Counts completed long and short trades.
• Win Rate: Calculates the percentage of trades where SmartTrend3 moves favorably (higher for longs, lower for shorts).
Position Management: Closes opposite positions before opening new ones, simulating a single-position trading system.
Results are displayed in a table at the top-right of the chart, showing win rate and total trades. Note that backtest results reflect the indicator’s internal logic and should not be interpreted as predictive of real-world performance.
🔷Visualization and Alerts
• Trend Lines: SmartTrend3 is plotted with gradient colors reflecting trend direction and volatility cluster, accompanied by a secondary line for visual clarity.
• Signal Markers: Optional buy/sell signals are plotted as small circles with customizable colors.
• Alerts: Supports alerts for:
• Bullish and bearish trend shifts (confirmed on bar close).
Transitions to high, medium, or low volatility states.
🔷Input Parameters
• ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation, used in volatility clustering.
• Period (default: 21): Common period for RSI, ADX, and standard deviation calculations.
• Base SmartTrend Factor (default: 2.0): Base multiplier for volatility-adjusted bands.
• SmartTrend Smoothing Length (default: 10): Length for Gaussian smoothing of the trend line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals? (default: true): Enables/disables signal markers.
• Bullish/Bearish Color: Customizable colors for trend lines and signals.
🔷Usage Instructions
• Apply to Chart: Add the indicator to any TradingView chart.
• Configure Inputs: Adjust parameters to align with your trading style or market conditions (e.g., shorter ATR length for faster markets).
• Interpret Output:
• Trend Lines: Use SmartTrend3’s direction and color to gauge market bias.
• Signals: Monitor bullish (🐮) and bearish (🐻) markers for potential entry/exit points.
• Backtest Table: Review win rate and total trades to understand the indicator’s behavior in historical data.
• Set Alerts: Configure alerts for trend shifts or volatility changes to support manual or automated trading workflows.
• Combine with Analysis: Use the indicator alongside other tools or market context, as it is designed to complement, not replace, comprehensive analysis.
🔷Technical Notes
• Data Requirements: Requires at least 100 bars for accurate volatility clustering. Ensure sufficient historical data is loaded.
• Market Suitability: The indicator is designed for trend detection and may perform differently in ranging or volatile markets due to its reliance on RSI and ADX filters.
• Backtesting Scope: The backtest module uses SmartTrend3 values, which may differ from price-based outcomes. Results are for informational purposes only.
• Computational Intensity: The K-Means clustering and Gaussian smoothing may increase processing time on lower timeframes or with large datasets.
🔷For Developers
The script is modular, well-commented, encouraging reuse and modification with proper attribution.
Key functions include:
• gaussianSmooth: Applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to any data series.
• pineSmartTrend: Computes adaptive trend lines with volatility and momentum filters.
• getDynamicFactor: Adjusts trend sensitivity based on volatility clusters.
• get_backtest: Evaluates signal performance using SmartTrend3.
Developers can extend these functions for custom indicators or strategies, leveraging the volatility clustering and smoothing methodologies. The K-Means implementation is particularly useful for adaptive volatility analysis.
🔷Limitations
• The indicator is not predictive and should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.
• Performance varies by market, timeframe, and parameter settings, requiring user experimentation.
• Backtest results are based on historical data and internal logic, not real-world trading conditions.
• Volatility clustering assumes sufficient historical data; incomplete data may affect accuracy.

Introduction
A trendline indicator that plots bands around a set trendline is a technical analysis tool used in financial markets to identify potential support and resistance levels. This indicator typically consists of a central trendline, which represents the general direction of the market (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways), and two bands plotted above and below this trendline. These bands are usually set at a fixed percentage or standard deviation from the trendline, creating a channel within which the price is expected to move
The bands help traders visualize the volatility of the asset and identify overbought or oversold conditions. When the price touches or moves outside the upper band, it may indicate that the asset is overbought and could be due for a correction. Conversely, when the price touches or moves outside the lower band, it may suggest that the asset is oversold and could be poised for a rebound.
Institutions might use similar but more sophisticated methods to buy and sell in a trend.
Settings
To set up your trendline indicator, follow these steps:
Begin by selecting two points on the chart. These points will serve as your coordinates, representing both time and price.
Choose your price source, which will be used to calculate the trendline.
Finally, configure the z-scores for your bands to determine their distance from the central trendline.
Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based)
This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes.
What Does It Do?
Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior.
Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals:
SC (Selling Climax)
AR (Automatic Rally)
ST (Secondary Test)
BC (Buying Climax)
DAR (Automatic Reaction)
DST (Secondary Test - Distribution)
Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement.
Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals.
Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals.
How Does It Work?
RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable).
Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable).
Trend Box Drawing:
When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range.
If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution).
Wyckoff Structural Points:
SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold.
AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC.
ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR.
How to Use It
Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise.
Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology.
Box colors help quickly identify market phase:
Green box: Likely Accumulation
Red box: Likely Distribution
Triangular markers show key signals:
SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points
BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points
Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases.

What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements.
Wyckoff’s 5 Phases:
Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices.
Markup: Price begins trending upwards.
Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders.
Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand.
Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations.
This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution).
Extra Notes
Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles.
Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style.
Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates.
This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.
MAD Trend Detector ~ C H I P AMAD Trend Detector ~ C H I P A is a custom trend detection tool designed to identify meaningful price deviations using Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) logic layered over a smoothed price baseline.
It uses:
A user-selectable source (Close, High, Low, etc.)
A configurable EMA or SMA as the core smoothing layer
Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) to measure typical price dispersion
A user-adjustable MAD multiplier to fine-tune trend sensitivity
Trend bands that expand dynamically based on local volatility
This setup highlights breakout conditions when price detaches meaningfully from its typical behavior — helping traders detect trend acceleration, volatility breakouts, and directional shifts with minimal lag and reduced noise.
Candle coloring responds directly to trend status, with electric blue and red visuals for clear on-chart recognition.
Euclidean VWATROverview
Dual-Centroid ATR Cluster Bands is an on-chart indicator that dynamically clusters price around two evolving centroids and builds volatility-based bands around each. By combining an online Euclidean update with average true range (ATR) and volume weighting, it creates two adaptive support/resistance zones and highlights which cluster price belongs to on each bar.
Key Features
- Two adaptive centroids that move toward price based on proximity and volume
- ATR-based upper and lower bands around each centroid to show volatility zones
- Volume weighting so high-volume bars shift centroids faster
- Background shading to show whether the current bar belongs to the red or green cluster
- Optional breakout flags for when price crosses each band (not tied to automated entries or exits)
Inputs
Learning Rate: speed at which centroids adapt to new price (0–1). Default = 0.025
Init Centroid 1 / Init Centroid 2: starting value for each centroid (0 uses the first bar’s close). Default = 0.0
ATR Length: lookback period for ATR calculation. Default = 14
ATR Band Multiplier: multiple of ATR used for upper and lower bands. Default = 1.5
Volume SMA Length: lookback period for smoothing volume to compute relative weight. Default = 20
Interpretation & Usage
- Trend vs. mean-reversion: price oscillating inside a colored zone suggests mean-reversion to that centroid.
- Equilibrium shifts: a move toward the midpoint between centroids may signal a cluster change.
- Breakout signals: use price crosses of the ATR bands as potential momentum entries (combine with volume or other filters).
- Dynamic support/resistance: treat the centroids and their bands as floating levels that adapt to market conditions.
- Volume sensitivity: high-volume moves will pull the centroids more strongly, making zones more responsive during heavy trading.
Recommended Tips
- Increase Learning Rate for faster adaptation in volatile markets.
- Raise ATR Band Multiplier in choppy conditions to reduce false breakouts.
- Adjust Volume SMA Length to emphasize recent or longer-term volume trends.
- Combine with other indicators (pivot points, VWAP, trend filters) for filtered entries.
Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX
---
### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES
---
### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.

### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.

### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.

### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.

### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.
