Chart Patterns [ActiveQuants]The Chart Patterns indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to automatically identify a variety of common chart patterns directly on your price chart. By detecting sequences of pivot highs and lows , this indicator helps traders spot potential trend continuations , reversals , and key market structures such as Double Tops and Double Bottoms . Enhance your technical analysis by quickly recognizing these formations as they emerge.
How It Works
The indicator operates in a two-stage process:
Pivot Point Detection: It first identifies significant swing highs and swing lows (pivot points) based on a user-defined Period . These pivots form the fundamental building blocks for pattern recognition.
Pattern Recognition: Using the sequence of these detected pivot points, the script then applies logical rules to identify the following patterns:
Lower Low (LL)
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH)
Higher High (HH)
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL)
Double Tops
Double Bottoms
Patterns are drawn on the chart with connecting lines and labeled for easy identification. Double Tops and Double Bottoms also feature a status system: " Active " while forming, " Confirmed " upon neckline breakout, or " Invalid " if specific conditions negate the pattern before confirmation.
█ KEY FEATURES
Comprehensive Pattern Detection: Identifies six distinct types of chart patterns, offering insights into both trend continuation and potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Analysis: Uses a robust method of identifying pivot highs and lows as the foundation for pattern formation.
Pattern Status for Double Tops/Bottoms:
- Active: A Double Top or Double Bottom pattern has formed its two peaks/troughs and the intervening neckline point, but the price has not yet broken beyond the neckline. The pattern is developing .
- Confirmed: The price has decisively closed beyond the neckline (below for Double Top, above for Double Bottom), signaling a potential entry or validation of the pattern.
- Invalid: An " Active " Double Top or Double Bottom pattern can be invalidated if, before a neckline breakout occurs, a new pivot point forms that negates the pattern’s structural integrity. For example, if a new pivot low forms above or at the neckline of an Active Double Top, the pattern is considered invalid because the market failed to break down and instead showed relative strength.
Customizable Visuals: Allows users to define colors for bullish and bearish patterns, line widths, and the visibility of pivot points.
Selective Pattern Display: Users can choose to display all patterns or filter by status (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) for Double Tops/Bottoms. Individual pattern types can also be toggled on or off.
Historical Analysis Control: The Show Last History (Bars) input allows users to specify how far back the indicator should plot patterns, optimizing performance and chart readability.
Clear Labeling: Patterns are clearly labeled on the chart, with Double Tops/Bottoms also showing " Top 1 ," " Top 2 ," or " Bottom 1 ," " Bottom 2 " labels.
█ PATTERNS DETECTED
Lower Low (LL): Indicates a potential bearish continuation or the start of a downtrend. Forms when price makes a lower low during an uptrend.
Lower Low & Lower High (LL & LH): A stronger confirmation of a bearish trend, where the market forms a lower low followed by a lower high .
Higher High (HH): Signals a potential bullish continuation or the start of an uptrend. Forms when price makes a higher high during a downtrend.
Higher High & Higher Low (HH & HL): A stronger confirmation of a bullish trend, where the market forms a higher high followed by a higher low .
Double Top: A bearish reversal pattern characterized by two distinct peaks at roughly the same price level, separated by a trough (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks below the neckline.
Double Bottom: A bullish reversal pattern featuring two distinct troughs at roughly the same price level, separated by a peak (neckline). Confirmation occurs when price breaks above the neckline.
█ EXAMPLE: DOUBLE TOP INVALIDATION
Understanding how a Double Top or Double Bottom can be invalidated is crucial. Here's an example for a Double Top:
Formation: The indicator identifies two peaks (Top 1, Top 2) at a similar price level, with a corrective trough (Neckline Pivot P5) in between. The pattern is labeled " Double Top " and is in an " Active " state. ( Imagine points P4 and P6 are the two tops, and P5 is the low point of the neckline between them ).
Pre-Breakout Condition: The price action continues, but before it breaks decisively below the P5 neckline level, a new significant swing low (a new pivot low) forms.
Invalidation Check: The indicator checks the price level of this new pivot low. If this new pivot low occurs at a price equal to or higher than the P5 neckline level, the " Active " Double Top pattern is re-labeled as " Invalid Double Top ". ( See image below for a visual representation of this scenario )
In this example, the Double Top formed with Top 1 (P4) and Top 2 (P6). The neckline is at P5. Before price broke below P5, a new pivot low formed at the red circle. Since this new pivot low is above the P5 neckline, the Double Top is marked " Invalid ".
The logic is that the market failed to break the neckline support and instead established a higher low (or a low at the support level), suggesting that the immediate bearish pressure has waned, thus invalidating the bearish reversal implication of the Double Top before it could confirm. A similar logic applies to Double Bottoms (a new pivot high forming below or at the neckline before an upside breakout).

█ CONCLUSION
The Chart Patterns indicator is a versatile and powerful assistant for traders who utilize classical chart pattern analysis. By automating the detection of key formations and providing clear visual cues along with status updates for patterns like Double Tops and Bottoms, it allows traders to focus on strategy development and execution. With its customizable settings, it can be adapted to various instruments and timeframes, making it a valuable addition to any technical trader's toolkit.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Pivot Period Sensitivity: The Period setting for pivot detection is crucial. A shorter period will identify more frequent, smaller swings, while a longer period will focus on more significant turning points. Adjust this setting based on the asset's volatility, the timeframe you are trading and your trading style.
⚠ Confirmation is Key: While the indicator identifies patterns, always wait for pattern confirmation (e.g., neckline breaks for Double Tops/Bottoms) and consider other factors like volume and market context before making trading decisions.
⚠ Confirmed Bars for Detection: Patterns are identified based on confirmed pivot points, which means a pivot is recognized period bars after it has formed. Status updates for Double Tops/Bottoms (Active, Confirmed, Invalid) also occur on confirmed bars. This approach enhances reliability and reduces the likelihood of repainting based on intra-bar price fluctuations.
⚠ Not a Standalone System: Chart patterns provide valuable insights, but they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages, oscillators) and a sound risk management plan.
⚠ Lagging Nature: By their very definition, chart patterns are lagging indicators as they require a sequence of price action and several pivot points to complete their formation.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER

Buscar en scripts para "TRENDLINES"
Atlas BBTlevelsAtlas BBTlevels is a custom Bollinger Bands-based indicator that measures the momentum and strength of price trends using the difference between short- and long-period Bollinger Bands. Inspired by John Bollinger’s official tools like BBTrend, %b, and Bandwidth, this script adds adjustable horizontal threshold levels so traders can mark important reaction zones on their charts.
It visualizes when markets may be entering overheated or exhausted conditions — either for trend continuation or potential reversals — and works across crypto, stocks, forex, spot, or perpetual charts.
How I personally use it:
I apply Atlas BBTlevels across three timeframes:
Low timeframe (LTF): 5m–15m
Mid timeframe (MTF): 1h–6h
High timeframe (HTF): 1d–2d
I review where the indicator historically spiked during major moves. For example, if the 4-hour chart shows repeated spikes to +10 or −10, I’ll set my positive and negative thresholds near those levels. This lets me anticipate zones where the market may reverse, cool off, or break out. I then compare LTF, MTF, and HTF levels to look for confluence. When multiple timeframes align near key levels, it gives me higher confidence to prepare for a trade — but I always combine this with price action and other confirmation tools.
How others can use it:
Identify overbought/oversold zones by adjusting the thresholds to match historical extremes on your chosen asset.
Use it as a trend strength gauge: when the histogram is near or above the top threshold, the trend is likely strong; when it fades back toward zero, momentum is weakening.
Watch for volatility expansions or contractions as the indicator accelerates away from or returns toward zero.
Combine it with price action (support/resistance, trendlines, chart patterns) or other momentum tools to reduce false signals.
Apply it across multiple timeframes to look for confluence — this increases reliability compared to using it on just one chart.
Important tips:
Positive spikes (above zero) usually indicate strength or overextension upward; negative spikes (below zero) show weakness or downward exhaustion.
You can reverse the color logic if you want (for example, highlight negative spikes as green for buy interest and positive spikes as red for sell interest) — this is just a visual preference.
This is not a standalone buy/sell system. Always combine it with other tools, market context, and risk management.
Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filter📌 Triangle Breakout Strategy with TP/SL, EMA Filters, and Backtest – Explained.
✅ 1. Pattern Detection – Triangle Breakout
The script scans for triangle patterns by detecting local pivot highs and pivot lows.
It uses two recent highs and two recent lows to draw converging trendlines (upper and lower boundaries of the triangle).
If the price breaks above the upper trendline, a bullish breakout signal is generated.
🎯 2. TP (Take Profit) & SL (Stop Loss)
When a bullish breakout is detected:
A buy order is placed using strategy.entry.
TP and SL levels are calculated relative to the current close price:
TP = 3% above the entry price
SL = 1.5% below the entry price
These are defined using strategy.exit.
📊 3. EMA Filter
An optional filter checks if:
Price is above both EMA 20 and EMA 50
Only if this condition is met, the strategy allows a long entry.
You can toggle the filter on or off with useEMAFilter.
📈 4. Backtesting with Strategy Tester
This script uses strategy() instead of indicator() to enable TradingView’s built-in backtest engine.
Every buy entry and exit (based on TP or SL) is recorded.
📌 5. Visuals
EMA 20 and EMA 50 lines are plotted on the chart.
A label is shown when a breakout is detected: "Breakout Up"
Results (profit, win rate, drawdown, etc.) can be viewed in the Strategy Tester panel.
Engulfing Logic Candle Consolidation
The "Engulfing Logic Candle Consolidation" indicator is designed to visualize price zones where multiple candlesticks are engulfing each other. When candles meet specific engulfing conditions, the script merges them into a single "virtual" range and displays it using semi-transparent boxes on the chart.
- Engulfing Range Logic : Automatically detects and consolidates groups of candles that are fully engulfed by others, forming clear structural zones.
- Multi-Session Time Highlights : Marks major trading sessions (Asia, Europe, U.S.) with customizable colors and visibility settings, helping traders identify time-based market rhythms.
The indicator uses two engulfing conditions to form virtual zones:
1、 Short-after-Long (right-side engulfing) : If the current candle is engulfed by the previous candle, a virtual box begins from that pair.
2、 Long-after-Short (left-side engulfing) : If the current candle engulfs one or more previous candles (looping backward), it triggers zone formation.
The zone grows as long as new candles are completely inside the range of prior ones. When engulfing ends, the range is boxed and preserved visually.
This tool is ideal for traders who focus on price structure. By consolidating engulfing candles into zones, it filters out noise and emphasizes meaningful price behavior. Works well when combined with trendlines, support/resistance, and volume indicators.

Strong Body Candle (80% of Range)You said:
Strong body candle 80% range
ChatGPT said:
A strong body candle with an 80% range typically refers to a candlestick on a price chart (usually used in technical analysis) where the real body of the candle (the open-to-close price movement) makes up 80% or more of the entire candle’s range (the high-to-low movement).
Breakdown:
Candle Range = High − Low
Body Size = |Close − Open|
Body-to-Range Ratio = (Body Size ÷ Candle Range) × 100
If this ratio is ≥ 80%, the candle is considered to have a strong body.
Interpretation:
A strong bullish candle: Close is near the high, open is near the low — strong buying pressure.
A strong bearish candle: Close is near the low, open is near the high — strong selling pressure.
These candles often signal momentum or trend continuation, especially when occurring after consolidation or at breakout points.
Would you like a script or formula to help detect these on a chart?

🔥 Strong Body Candle (80% Range) — Indicator Description
This indicator highlights candlesticks where the real body constitutes 80% or more of the entire candle's range (High − Low). These candles often represent strong momentum and are useful for identifying potential trend continuations, reversals, or breakout confirmations.
📌 Key Features:
✅ Detects both bullish and bearish strong body candles.
✅ Customizable threshold (default: 80%) for fine-tuning to your strategy.
✅ Visual markers make it easy to spot high-momentum candles on any timeframe.
📊 How It Works:
The script calculates the ratio of the candle's body size (|Close − Open|) to its total range (High − Low). If the ratio is equal to or above 80%, the candle is flagged:
Green Marker = Strong Bullish Candle (Close > Open)
Red Marker = Strong Bearish Candle (Open > Close)
🛠️ Use Cases:
Identify momentum shifts and breakout confirmations.
Use with support/resistance zones or trendlines for stronger signals.
Combine with volume indicators for enhanced precision.

Indicator Name: OBV by Randy_New
Overview:
This indicator is based on the traditional On-Balance Volume (OBV) concept, with an enhancement that integrates an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) smoothing of the OBV data. The indicator plots an OBV Oscillator, which is the difference between the raw OBV and its EMA, helping traders to better visualize momentum changes and potential trend reversals.
Key Features:
Instead of simply accumulating OBV values, this script calculates the difference between OBV and its EMA to create a more responsive oscillator.
Color-coded visualization: Red when the oscillator is above zero (indicating bullish momentum), Green when below zero (indicating bearish momentum).
Corrects initial offset issues caused by na values in volume changes to ensure a more accurate OBV calculation from the beginning.
How to Use:
When the OBV Oscillator is above zero, it suggests buying pressure is dominant — consider bullish strategies.
When the OBV Oscillator is below zero, it suggests selling pressure is dominant — consider bearish strategies.
For higher accuracy, combine it with other technical tools such as trendlines, support/resistance, MACD, or RSI for confirmation.
Target Users:
Traders who like to use volume-based indicators for momentum analysis.
Traders looking for a simplified and visually enhanced version of the traditional OBV.
Important Notice:
This script is closed-source to protect the specific improvements and proprietary adjustments made to the traditional OBV calculation and visualization method. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
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.
Radonezh Kir-Mary Beauty editionOverview
Dedicated to rev. Kirill and Mary of Radonezh.
This indicator uniquely combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and price momentum with dynamic normalization to identify trend strength, reversals, supported by a combination of more traditional signal logic. Unlike traditional momentum oscillators, it integrates volume dynamics and advanced directional index to filter false signals and adapts to market volatility through automated scaling, offering a holistic view of price-action reliability.
Core Innovations
Adapive Signals: Uses a proprietary correlation algorithm to weight momentum values, reducing noise in choppy markets.
Lower timeframe entry points: (currently 1 minute only) and HTF line statuses for timeframe synchronisation (currently only 15 minutes and 1 hour status) for super-precise entry points
Automatic drawing of resistance and support lines based on the proprietary algorithm for detecting volume/price synchronization and desynchronization levels.
"Victor-predictor": price chart pointing line that shows where the price supposedly goes based on the machine-learning simulation with pine script based on the main 3 traditional classical indicators. Works independently from the rest of the indicator. Developed by @Skorcez (same team).
Automatic recognition of possible long and short stop order placement levels. I do not filter them so use only within the general context of the indicator.
Key Features
Volume-Price Correlation: CVD reflects institutional order flow, while price momentum quantifies trend acceleration.
Auto-Scaling: Adjusts output range based on recent volatility (ATR), preventing overbought/oversold false positives.
Visual Alerts: Marks divergence zones with colored trendlines and labels (regular/hidden bullish/bearish).
Unique Value
By fusing volume delta dynamics with momentum filtering, this script addresses a critical gap in traditional indicators that treat price and volume in isolation. The closed-source logic focuses on institutional accumulation/distribution patterns, providing actionable signals without repainting.
Compatible with all assets and timeframes. No promotional content or external links included.

Position Signals via DEMA Momentum Line Coloration
The main indicator line (orange/black) determines entry/exits based on its color intensity, which reflects trend strength and confirmation from filtered signals. Here's how it works:
Long Positions (Green/Teal)
Weak Long:
Dark Green = Price momentum rising without volume/Machine Learning (ML) confirmation.
Example: main line turns green but lacks volume spikes or ML buy signals.
Strong Long:
Bright Green = Momentum confirmed by:
Volume Surge: Volume exceeds 1.5x 20-period average.
ML Confirmation: ML score > 0.7 with price above EMA20.
Post-Drop Recovery: Price rebounds after a >1% drop on high volume. (not active as of now, will add a bit later, still working on it)
Short Positions (Red/Orange)
Weak Short:
Orange = Momentum declines without bearish confirmation.
Strong Short:
Bright Red = Confirmed by:
Volume Divergence: Rising price with falling CVD momentum.
ML Bearish: ML score > 0.7 + price below EMA20.
Overextension: RSI > 70 + price above upper Bollinger Band.
Neutral (Gray)
Flat Momentum:
Gray = Momentum near zero (±0.05) + low volatility (ATR < 1% of price).
Action: Avoid trades until color intensifies or stay in a position with a trailing stoploss until it's clear where the market goes (use HTF signal colour table to know what to expect).
Key Features
Adaptive Confirmation:
Colors brighten when signals align across:
Volume acceleration
RSI and a few other extremes (oversold/overbought)
Machine Learning predictions

Volume-Price Momentum IndicatorVolume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI)
Overview
The Volume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI), developed by Kevin Svenson , is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify strong bullish and bearish momentum in price movements, driven by volume dynamics. By analyzing price changes and volume surges over a user-defined lookback period, VPMI highlights potential trend shifts and continuation patterns through a smoothed histogram, optional labels, and background highlights. Ideal for traders seeking to capture momentum-driven opportunities, VPMI is suitable for various markets, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
VPMI calculates the difference between volume-weighted buying and selling pressure based on price changes over a specified lookback period. It amplifies signals during high-volume periods, applies smoothing to reduce noise, and uses momentum checks to detect sustained trends.
Indicator display:
A histogram that oscillates above (bullish) or below (bearish) a zero line, with brighter colors indicating stronger momentum and faded colors for weaker signals.
Optional labels ("Bullish" or "Bearish") to mark significant momentum shifts.
Optional background highlights to visually emphasize strong trend conditions.
Alerts to notify users when strong bullish or bearish momentum is detected.
Key Features
Customizable Settings:
Adjust the lookback period, volume threshold, momentum length, and smoothing to suit your trading style.
Volume Sensitivity:
Emphasizes price movements during high-volume surges, enhancing signal reliability.
Momentum Detection: Uses linear regression and momentum change to confirm sustained trends, reducing false signals.
Visual Clarity:
Offers a clear histogram with color-coded signals, plus optional labels and backgrounds for enhanced chart readability.
Alerts:
Configurable alerts for strong momentum signals, enabling timely trade decisions.

Faded Transparency (Default: 40):
Adjusts the transparency of weaker signals for visual distinction.
How to Use
Interpret Signals:
Above Zero (Green):
Indicates bullish momentum. Bright green suggests strong, sustained buying pressure.
Below Zero (Red):
Indicates bearish momentum. Bright red suggests strong, sustained selling pressure.
Faded Colors:
Weaker momentum, potentially signaling consolidation or trend exhaustion.
Enable Visuals:
Turn on "Show Labels" and "Show Backgrounds" in the settings for additional context on strong momentum signals.
Set Alerts:
Use the built-in alert conditions ("Strong Bullish Momentum" or "Strong Bearish Momentum") to receive notifications when significant trends emerge.
Combine with Other Tools:
Pair VPMI with support/resistance levels, trendlines, or other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for confirmation.
Best Practices
Timeframe:
VPMI works on all timeframes, but shorter timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) may produce more signals, while longer timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1D) offer higher reliability.
Market Conditions:
Most effective in trending markets. In choppy or sideways markets, consider increasing the smoothing length or momentum threshold to filter noise.
Risk Management:
Always use VPMI signals in conjunction with a robust trading plan, including stop-losses and position sizing.
Limitations
Lagging Nature:
As a momentum indicator, VPMI may lag in fast-moving markets due to smoothing and lookback calculations.
False Signals:
In low-volume or ranging markets, signals may be less reliable. Adjust the volume threshold or momentum settings to improve accuracy.
Customization Required:
Optimal settings vary by asset and timeframe. Experiment with inputs to align with your trading strategy.
Why Use VPMI?
VPMI offers a unique blend of volume and price momentum analysis, making it a versatile tool for traders seeking to identify high-probability trend opportunities.

Filtered Swing Pivot S&R )Pivot support and resis🔍 Filtered Swing Pivot S&R - Overview
This indicator identifies and plots tested support and resistance levels using a filtered swing pivot strategy. It focuses on high-probability zones where price has reacted before, helping traders better anticipate future price behavior.
It filters out noise using:
Customizable pivot detection logic
Minimum price level difference
ATR (Average True Range) volatility filter
Confirmation by price retesting the level before plotting
⚙️ Core Logic Explained
✅ 1. Pivot Detection
The script uses Pine Script's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to find local highs (potential resistance) and lows (potential support).
Pivot Lookback/Lookahead (pivotLen):
A pivot is confirmed if it's the highest (or lowest) point within a lookback and lookahead range of pivotLen bars.
Higher values = fewer, stronger pivots.
Lower values = more, but potentially noisier levels.
✅ 2. Pending Pivot Confirmation
Once a pivot is detected:
It is not drawn immediately.
The script waits until price re-tests that pivot level. This retest confirms the market "respects" the level.
For example: if price hits a previous high again, it's treated as a valid resistance.
✅ 3. Dual-Level Filtering System
To reduce chart clutter and ignore insignificant levels, two filters are applied:
Fixed Threshold (Minimum Level Difference):
Ensures a new pivot level is not too close to the last one.
ATR-Based Filter:
Dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on current volatility using the formula:
java
Copy
Edit
Minimum distance = ATR × ATR Multiplier
Only pivots that pass both filters are plotted.
✅ 4. Line Drawing
Once a pivot is:
Detected
Retested
Filtered
…a horizontal dashed line is drawn at that level to highlight support or resistance.
Resistance: Red (default)
Support: Green (default)
These lines are:
Dashed for clarity
Extended for X bars into the future (user-defined) for forward visibility
🎛️ Customizable Inputs
Parameter Description
Pivot Lookback/Lookahead Bars to the left and right of a pivot to confirm it
Minimum Level Difference Minimum price difference required between plotted levels
ATR Length Number of bars used in ATR volatility calculation
ATR Multiplier for Pivot Multiplies ATR to determine volatility-based pivot separation
Line Extension (bars) How many future bars the level line will extend for better visibility
Resistance Line Color Color for resistance lines (default: red)
Support Line Color Color for support lines (default: green)
📈 How to Use It
This indicator is ideal for:
Identifying dynamic support & resistance zones that adapt to volatility.
Avoiding false levels by waiting for pivot confirmation.
Visual guidance for entries, exits, stop placements, or take-profits.
🔑 Trade Ideas:
Use support/resistance retests for entry confirmations.
Combine with candlestick patterns or volume spikes near drawn levels.
Use in confluence with trendlines or moving averages.
🚫 What It Does Not Do (By Design)
Does not repaint or remove past levels once confirmed.
Does not include labels or alerts (but can be added).
Does not auto-scale based on timeframes (manual tuning recommended).
🛠️ Possible Enhancements (Optional)
If desired, you could extend the functionality to include:
Labels with “S” / “R”
Alert when a new level is tested or broken
Toggle for support/resistance visibility
Adjustable line width or style

Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.
Rolling ATR Momentum - EnhancedATR Rolling Momentum Indicator – User Manual
---
🔍 Overview
The ATR Rolling Momentum Indicator is a dynamic volatility tool built on the Average True Range (ATR). It not only tracks increasing or decreasing momentum but also provides early warnings and confirmation signals for potential breakout moves. It’s especially powerful for futures and options traders looking to align with expanding price action.
---
📊 Core Components
✅ ATR Delta (Rolling ATR)
- Definition: Difference between current ATR and past ATR (user-defined lookback).
- Use: Tells whether volatility is expanding (positive delta) or contracting (negative delta).
- Visual: Green line for rising momentum, red for declining.
🟣 ATR Delta Slope
- Definition: Measures acceleration in momentum.
- Use: Helps identify early signs of breakout buildup.
- Visual: Purple line. Watch for slope turning up from below.
🟡 Volatility Squeeze (Yellow Dot)
- Definition: Current ATR is significantly lower than its 20-period average.
- Use: Indicates the market is coiling—possible breakout ahead.
🔼 Momentum Start (Green Triangle)
- Definition: ATR Delta slope turns from negative to positive.
- Use: Early warning to prepare for volatility expansion.
🔷 Breakout Confirmation (Blue Label Up)
- Definition: ATR Delta exceeds its high of the last 10 candles.
- Use: Confirms volatility breakout—trade opportunity if direction aligns.
🟩/🟥 Background Color
- Green Background: Momentum rising (positive ATR delta)
- Red Background: Momentum falling (negative ATR delta)
- Yellow Tint: Active squeeze zone
---
✅ How to Use It (Futures/Options Focus)
Step-by-Step:
1. Squeeze Detected (Yellow Dot) → Stay alert. Market is coiling.
2. Green Triangle Appears → Momentum is starting to rise.
3. Background Turns Green → Confirmed rising momentum.
4. Blue Label Appears → Confirmed breakout (enter trade if trend aligns).
Directional Bias:
- Use your main chart setup (price action, EMAs, trendlines, etc.) to decide direction (Call or Put, Long or Short).
- ATR Momentum only tells you how strong the move is—not which way.
---
⚙️ Inputs & Settings
- ATR Period: Default 14 (core volatility measure)
- Rolling Lookback: Used to calculate delta (default 5)
- Slope Length: Used to measure acceleration (default 3)
- Squeeze Factor: Default 0.8 — lower = more sensitive squeeze detection
- Breakout Lookback: Checks ATR delta against last X bars (default 10)
---
🧠 Pro Tips
- Works great when paired with EMA stacks, price structure, or breakout patterns.
- Avoid taking trades based only on squeeze or momentum—combine with chart confirmation.
- If background turns red after a breakout, it may be losing momentum—book partials or tighten stops.
---
🧭 Ideal For:
- Nifty/BankNifty Futures
- Option directional trades (call/put buying)
- Index scalping and momentum swing setups
---
Use this tool as your volatility compass—it won't tell you where to go, but it'll tell you when the wind is strong enough to move fast.

Liquidity Heatmap SwiftEdgeDescription
Liquidity Heatmap with Buy/Sell Side (Blue/Red) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential liquidity zones in the market by combining swing high/low detection with volume analysis, visualized as a heatmap overlay on the chart. This script highlights areas where significant buying or selling pressure may exist, often acting as support or resistance levels, and provides a clear visual representation of these zones using color-coded heatmap boxes and labeled bubbles.
What It Does
The script identifies key price levels (swing highs and lows) where liquidity is likely to be concentrated, such as stop-loss clusters or pending orders. These levels are then grouped into a heatmap, with blue zones representing potential buy-side liquidity (below the current price) and red zones indicating sell-side liquidity (above the current price). Each zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount, derived from volume data, to help traders gauge the strength of the level.
How It Works
The script combines three main components to create a comprehensive liquidity visualization:
Swing Highs and Lows Detection:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify swing highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period (Swing Length). These levels often represent areas where price has reversed, indicating potential liquidity zones where stop-losses or pending orders may be placed.
Volume Analysis:
Volume data at each swing high/low is captured and averaged over a specified period (Volume Average Length). This volume is then scaled using a multiplier (Volume Multiplier for Liquidity) to estimate the liquidity amount at each level, displayed in thousands (e.g., "10K") on the chart via labeled bubbles.
Heatmap Visualization:
The identified levels are grouped into price bins to form a heatmap. The price range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (Number of Heatmap Bins), and each bin is drawn as a colored box (blue for buy-side, red for sell-side). The transparency of the heatmap boxes can be adjusted (Heatmap Transparency) to ensure they do not obscure the price action.
Why Combine These Components?
The combination of swing highs/lows, volume analysis, and a heatmap provides a powerful way to visualize liquidity in the market. Swing highs and lows are natural points where liquidity tends to accumulate, as they often coincide with areas where traders place stop-losses or pending orders. By incorporating volume data, the script quantifies the potential strength of these levels, giving traders insight into the magnitude of liquidity present. The heatmap visualization then aggregates these levels into a clear, color-coded overlay, making it easy to see where buy-side and sell-side liquidity is concentrated without cluttering the chart.
This mashup is particularly useful because it bridges price action (swing levels), market activity (volume), and visual clarity (heatmap), offering a holistic view of potential support and resistance zones that might influence price movements.
How to Use It
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Apply the script to your chart by adding it from the Pine Script library. It will overlay directly on your price chart.
Interpret the Heatmap:
Blue Zones (Buy-Side Liquidity): These appear below the current price and indicate levels where buying pressure or stop-losses from short positions may be located.
Red Zones (Sell-Side Liquidity): These appear above the current price and indicate levels where selling pressure or stop-losses from long positions may be located.
The intensity of the color is controlled by the Heatmap Transparency setting—lower values make the zones more opaque, while higher values make them more transparent.
Analyze the Bubbles:
Each liquidity zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount in thousands (e.g., "10K"). The size of the bubble is scaled by the Bubble Size Multiplier, with larger bubbles indicating higher liquidity.
Adjust Settings for Your Needs:
Liquidity Settings:
Swing Length: Controls the lookback period for detecting swing highs and lows. A smaller value (e.g., 10) is better for shorter timeframes like 1-minute charts, while a larger value (e.g., 50) suits higher timeframes.
Liquidity Threshold: Defines how close two levels must be to be considered the same, preventing duplicate zones.
Volume Average Length: Sets the period for averaging volume data at swing points.
Volume Multiplier for Liquidity: Scales the volume to estimate liquidity amounts shown in the bubbles.
Lookback Period (Hours): Limits how far back the script looks for liquidity zones.
Use Price Window Filter: If enabled, only shows zones within a price range defined by Liquidity Window (Points per Side).
Heatmap Settings:
Number of Heatmap Bins: Determines how many price bins the heatmap is divided into. More bins create a finer resolution but may clutter the chart.
Heatmap Bin Height (Points): Sets the vertical height of each heatmap box in price points.
Heatmap Transparency: Adjusts the transparency of the heatmap boxes (0 = fully opaque, 100 = fully transparent).
Display Settings:
Bubble Size Multiplier: Scales the size of the bubbles showing liquidity amounts.
Trading Application:
Use the heatmap to identify potential support (blue zones) and resistance (red zones) levels where price may react.
Pay attention to zones with larger bubbles, as they indicate higher liquidity and may have a stronger impact on price.
Combine with other analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, indicators) to confirm trade setups.
What Makes It Original?
This script stands out by integrating swing high/low detection with volume-based liquidity estimation and a heatmap visualization in a single tool. Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that only plot static lines, this script dynamically aggregates liquidity zones into a heatmap, making it easier to see clusters of potential buying or selling pressure. The addition of volume-derived liquidity amounts in labeled bubbles provides a unique quantitative measure of each zone's strength, helping traders prioritize key levels. The color-coded buy/sell distinction further enhances its utility by visually separating zones based on their likely market impact.
Example Use Case
On a 1-minute chart of EUR/USD, you might set Swing Length to 10 to capture short-term pivots, Lookback Period (Hours) to 4 to focus on recent data, and Liquidity Window to 200 points (20 pips) to show only nearby zones. The heatmap will then display blue zones below the current price where buy-side liquidity may act as support, and red zones above where sell-side liquidity may act as resistance. A bubble showing "50K" at a blue zone indicates significant buy-side liquidity, suggesting a potential bounce if the price approaches that level.

Realistic backtesting using commissions and slippage
Pre-optimized profiles for scalpers, intraday, swing, and long-term traders
🧠 How It Works:
🔧 Strategy Settings Image:
beeimg.com
The strategy dynamically identifies trend direction by using swing high/low pivots. When a new pivot forms: It draws a trendline from the last significant pivot
Detects whether the trend is up (based on pivot lows) or down (based on pivot highs)
Waits for price to break above/below the trendline
Confirms with HTF price direction (HTF close > previous HTF close = bullish)
Only then it triggers a long or short trade
It exits either at TP, SL, or a manual trendline break
🛠️ Adjustable Parameters:
Trend Period: Length for pivot detection (affects sensitivity of trendlines)
HTF Timeframe: Aligns lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe direction
SL% and TP%: Customize your risk-reward profile
Commission & Slippage: Make backtests more realistic
Trade Direction: Choose to trade: Long only, Short only, or Both
🎛️ Trade Direction Control:
In settings, you can choose: Bullish Only: Executes only long entries
Bearish Only: Executes only short entries
Both: Executes both long and short entries when conditions are met
This allows you to align trades with your own market bias or external analysis.
📈 Entry Logic: Long Entry:
• Price crosses above trendline
• HTF is bullish (HTF close > previous close)
• Latest pivot is a low (trend is considered up)
Short Entry:
• Price crosses below trendline
• HTF is bearish (HTF close < previous close)
• Latest pivot is a high (trend is considered down)
📉 Exit Logic: Hit Take Profit or Stop Loss
Manual trendline invalidation: If price crosses opposite of the trend direction
⏰ Best Timeframes & Recommended Settings:
Scalping (1m to 5m):
HTF = 15m | Trend Period = 7
SL = 0.5% | TP = 1% to 2%
Intraday (15m to 30m):

SL = 0.75% | TP = 2% to 3%
6 Hour Trading (30m to 1H):
HTF = 4H | Trend Period = 20
SL = 1% | TP = 4% to 6%
Swing Trading (4H to 1D):
HTF = 1D | Trend Period = 35
SL = 2% | TP = 8% to 12%
Long-Term Investing (1D+):
HTF = 1W | Trend Period = 50
SL = 3% | TP = 15%+
Note: These are recommended base settings. Adjust based on volatility, asset class, or personal trading style.

📍 Asset Behavior Insight:
This strategy works on multiple assets, including BTC, ETH, etc.
Performance varies by trend strength:
Sometimes BTC performs better than ETH
Other times ETH gives better results
That’s normal as both assets follow different volatility and trend behavior
It’s a trend-following setup. Longer and clearer the trend → better the results.
✅ Best Practices: Avoid ranging markets
Use proper SL/TP for each timeframe
Use directional filter if you already have a directional bias
Always forward test before going live

1. Volume Flow: Indicates whether volume is above or below the average.
2. Smart Money: Shows whether institutional activity is bullish or bearish.
3. Acc/Dist: Displays whether the market is in accumulation or distribution.
4. Volatility: Provides the current volatility level.
5. Signals: Highlights whether there are volume spikes or significant moves.
How to Use the Indicator:
Identify Institutional Activity:
1. Look for confluences between volume spikes, significant price movements, and the direction of the SMFI and Acc/Dist slope.
2. For example, a volume spike combined with a positive SMFI and accumulation may indicate bullish institutional activity.
Confirm Market Trends:
1. Use the indicator to confirm trends by analyzing the direction of the SMFI and Acc/Dist slope.
2. A rising SMFI and positive Acc/Dist slope suggest a strong uptrend, while the opposite indicates a downtrend.
Monitor Volatility:
1. High volatility combined with volume spikes may signal potential breakouts or reversals.
2. Use the volatility metric on the dashboard to gauge market conditions.
Set Alerts:
1. Use the built-in alert conditions to get notified of volume spikes and significant price movements.
2. Alerts can help you stay informed about potential market opportunities.
Important Notes:
1. This is not a buy or sell recommendation. The IAA indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into market activity. Always use it in conjunction with other tools and strategies.
2. The indicator works best when combined with other forms of analysis, such as support/resistance levels, trendlines, and candlestick patterns.
3. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always practice proper risk management and trade responsibly.
Customization:
The indicator includes several customizable settings:
1. Volume Spike Threshold: Adjust the sensitivity for detecting volume spikes.
2. Smoothing Period: Change the period for calculating SMFI and Acc/Dist.
3. Price Movement Threshold: Modify the sensitivity for detecting significant price movements.
4. Dashboard Position: Move the dashboard to any corner of the chart or turn it off.
5. Visual Settings: Customize the colors and transparency of the dashboard and signals.
Example Use Case:
Imagine you're analyzing a stock that has been consolidating for several days. Suddenly, the IAA indicator detects:
1. A volume spike (yellow circle),
2. A significant price movement (green triangle),
3. A positive SMFI (bullish smart money flow),
4. And an accumulation phase (positive Acc/Dist slope).
This confluence of signals may indicate that institutional buyers are entering the market, potentially leading to a breakout. You can then use this information to plan your trade, such as setting alerts or monitoring for confirmation from other indicators.

First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)Okay, here's a description of the "First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)" TradingView indicator:
Indicator Name: First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)
Core Purpose:
This indicator is designed to visually highlight on the chart the exact moment when the price (specifically, the high/low range of a price bar) makes contact with a specified Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the first time within a defined recent lookback period (e.g., the last 20 bars).
How it Works:
EMA Calculation: It first calculates a standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the user-defined EMA Length and EMA Source (e.g., close price). This EMA line is plotted on the chart, often serving as a dynamic level of potential support or resistance.
"Touch" Detection: For every price bar, the indicator checks if the bar's range (from its low to its high) overlaps with or crosses the calculated EMA value for that bar. If low <= EMA <= high, it's considered a "touch".
"First Touch" Logic: This is the key feature. The indicator looks back over a specified number of preceding bars (defined by the Lookback Period). If a "touch" occurs on the current bar, and no "touch" occurred on any of the bars within that preceding lookback window, then the current touch is marked as the "first touch".
Visual Signal: When a "first touch" condition is met, the indicator plots a distinct shape (by default, a small green triangle) below the corresponding price bar. This makes it easy to spot these specific events.
Key Components & Settings:
EMA Line: The calculated EMA itself is plotted (typically as an orange line) for visual reference.
First Touch Signal: A shape (e.g., green triangle) appears below bars meeting the "first touch" criteria.
EMA Length (Input): Determines the period used for the EMA calculation. Shorter lengths make the EMA more reactive to recent price changes; longer lengths make it smoother and slower.
Lookback Period (Input): Defines how many bars (including the current one) the indicator checks backwards to determine if the current touch is the first one. A lookback of 20 means it checks if there was a touch in the previous 19 bars before signalling the current one as the first.
EMA Source (Input): Specifies which price point (close, open, high, low, hl2, etc.) is used to calculate the EMA.
Interpretation & Potential Uses:
Identifying Re-tests: The signal highlights when price returns to test the EMA after having stayed away from it for the duration of the lookback period. This can be significant as the market re-evaluates the EMA level.
Potential Reversal/Continuation Points: A first touch might indicate:
A potential area where a trend might resume after a pullback (if price bounces off the EMA).
A potential area where a reversal might begin (if price strongly rejects the EMA).
A point of interest if price consolidates around the EMA after the first touch.
Filtering Noise: By focusing only on the first touch within a period, it can help filter out repeated touches that might occur during choppy or consolidating price action around the EMA.
Confluence: Traders might use this signal in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., horizontal support/resistance, trendlines, candlestick patterns, other indicators) to strengthen trade setups.
Limitations:
Lagging: Like all moving averages, the EMA is a lagging indicator.
Not Predictive: The signal indicates a specific past event (the first touch) occurred; it doesn't guarantee a future price movement.
Parameter Dependent: The effectiveness and frequency of signals heavily depend on the chosen EMA Length and Lookback Period. These may need tuning for different assets and timeframes.
Requires Confirmation: It's generally recommended to use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and not rely solely on its signals for trade decisions.
In essence, the "First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)" indicator provides a specific, refined signal related to price interaction with a moving average, helping traders focus on potentially significant initial tests of the EMA after a period of separation.

TR FVG & Swing High Low FinderTR FVG & Swing Level Finder
Overview:
The TR FVG & Swing Level Finder is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for traders who want to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Swing Highs/Lows on their charts. This indicator combines two essential technical analysis tools into one, helping traders spot potential areas of support, resistance, and trend reversals. FVGs are price gaps that often act as areas of interest for price to return to, while swing highs and lows help identify key turning points in the market. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust colors, limits, and display options to suit their trading style.
Key Features:
1: Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
- Identifies Bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of two candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a potential upward price movement.
- Identifies Bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of two candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a potential downward price movement.
- Displays FVGs as colored boxes on the chart, with customizable border and fill colors based on the timeframe.
- Labels each FVG box with the corresponding timeframe (e.g., "1m FVG", "1h FVG", "Daily FVG").
2: Swing High and Swing Low Detection:
- Detects Swing Highs: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles on either side.
- Detects Swing Lows: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles on either side.
- Draws a solid black line with 50% opacity at each swing high and low, extending 5 bars to the right for better visibility.
- Adds a small Swing High or Swing Low label at the right end of each line, colored according to user-defined settings.
3: Timeframe-Specific FVG Visualization:
- FVGs are color-coded based on the chart's timeframe, making it easy to distinguish between FVGs on different timeframes.
- Each timeframe has its own fill color for bullish and bearish FVGs, with adjustable transparency for better chart clarity.
- A dashed black line is drawn in the middle of each FVG box to highlight the midpoint of the gap.
4: Customizable Display Options:
- FVG Limit: Control the maximum number of FVGs displayed on the chart (from 1 to 20).
- Extend Options for FVG Boxes:
- "None": FVG boxes extend only 2 bars to the right.
- "Limited": FVG boxes extend a user-defined number of candles to the right (1 to 100 candles).
- "Default": FVG boxes extend 3 bars to the right of the current bar.
- Color Customization:
- Set border colors for bullish and bearish FVGs.
- Adjust fill colors for FVGs on different timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Customize the colors of swing high and swing low labels.
5: Performance Optimization:
- The indicator only plots FVGs and swings on the last confirmed bar (barstate.islastconfirmedhistory), ensuring efficient performance and reducing chart clutter.

The label inside each box indicates the timeframe of the FVG.
- Swing Highs and Lows: Identify key turning points with solid black lines (50% opacity) at swing highs and lows. Each line extends 5 bars to the right, with an "SH" (Swing High) or "SL" (Swing Low) label at the end. Swing highs can act as resistance levels, while swing lows can act as support levels.
4: Combine with Your Strategy:
- Use FVGs to identify areas where price might return to fill the gap, often acting as support or resistance.
- Use swing highs and lows to spot potential trend reversals or to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- Combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages) for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Notes:
- The indicator works on all timeframes, but the appearance of FVGs and swings will vary depending on the chart's timeframe.
- For best results, use the indicator on a clean chart to avoid visual clutter, especially if you increase the fvgLimit.
- The swing high/low lines are drawn with 50% opacity to ensure they don’t overpower other chart elements, but they are still clearly visible.
