Bjorgum Key Levels
Key Levels Aims to capture 3 of the most significant points in price action
Breakouts
False Breakouts (Traps)
Back Checks
These 3 points alone, if properly identified, can be some of the most significant points of movement in the price history of an asset and bring significant gains to traders, if capitalized on. Here are a few examples of these setups
Breakouts
Breakouts can bring significant rallies as the market swings one sided after key levels are breached. This entry type can bring large trending runs to follow. Momentum is on your side, but the trade off is a higher entry.
False Breakouts
Also known as a bull trap or a bear trap, false breaks can lead to swift and significant reversals and potential for a large and sudden move to the opposite side. When a key level breakout fails to hold, parties entering to capitalize on the "epic breakout" can get left holding the bag forcing them to exit at a loss, which can double the force of pressure. Traps can bring swift gains from good entry prices. However, price is still in a larger trend against you so momentum is weak, so price action is susceptible to roll over.
Backchecks
Back checks are pull backs in trend that find middle ground to the 2 areas already described. Both momentum and entry price are decent, but risk is defined as a key level has flipped offering entry with stops below demand, or above supply.
Combining these 3 methods helps to diversify risk, understand trend development, and bring steady gains. This script helps to identify these points to traders with analysis of key levels, price structure, and trend direction, while providing visual signals and alerts for when they occur.
Best of luck in your coding and trading and thank you for your support

False BreakoutA false breakout is when the price temporarily moves above or below a key support or resistance level, but then later retreats back to the same side as it started.
The “False Breakout” indicator reveals false breakouts in comparison to the previous candle.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for long this would mean that the price of the stock broke the previous low (support) and then got back above that low.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for short then a false breakout would mean the stock broke the previous high (resistance) and then got back below that high.
How to use the indicator?
First choose the direction you're looking to trade, meaning either long or short.
Then choose how strict you want to be about the Falls brakes.
There are three options:
The first option named “All“ means that it's enough that the stock broke the previous level and then get back to the original side.
The second option is “Supporting Change” meaning not only that the stock broke the previous key level (support or resistance), but also the change at the end of the candle is supporting the main direction - meaning the change is positive for long or negative for short.
The third option is “Engulfing”. This is a well-known candle, but to make it clear, in our case “Engulfing” means that not only the stock broke the previous level but it also ended the day on the other side of the candle - higher than the previous high, in case of long, and lower than the previous low, in case of short.
When you choose the level of strictness you determine how many indications you're going to get on the chart.
If you choose the highest level of strictness, meaning “Engulfing”, you would only see the red flags indicating engulfing candles.
If you choose the lowest level of strictness, meaning “All”, you will get more indications on your chart, including every false breakout.
When the direction you're looking for is long, all indications would appear below the candles.
When the direction you're looking for is short, then all indications would appear above the candles.
The Engulfing candles are represented by Red flags, and the Simple breakouts candles are represented by yellow. All colors may be adjusted to your preference.
Explaining the example above:
In the chart above we can see two consolidations. At the end of each consolidation, we can see a candle with an indication from the indicator that points out that this could be the end of the consolidation and the stock might continue its move.
In “consolidation 1” we can see that there is an orange flag below the candle right before the stock began to move up again.
In “consolidation 2” we can see that there is a red flag below the candle, right before the stock began another move.
Wishing you all the best :)
Soldiers Pattern ModifiedThis can be perceived as modified 3 soldiers, relaxed NR4 or even extended harami candlestick pattern.
Works for any instrument and any timeframe.
The idea is to find out any number of candles having their individual highs and lows, all within high and low range of base candle.
The count of soldiers and if they must be of same color, both can be configured.
Additional configurable settings is to add further check of having body of soldiers as well within body of base candle.
Trading strategy: Trade high or low breakout of base candle, having other as stop loss, for a risk reward ratio of 1:2.
Line breakI decided to help TradingView programmers and wrote code that converts a standard candles / bars to a line break chart. The built-in linebreak() and security() functions for constructing a Linear Break chart are bad, the chart is not built correctly, and does not correspond to the Line Breakout chart built into TradingView. I’m talking about simulating the Linear Break lines using the plotcandle() annotation, because these are the same candles without shadows. When you try to use the market simulator, when the gaps are turned on in the security() function, nothing is added to the chart, and when turned off, a completely different line break chart is drawn. Do not try to write strategies based on the built-in linebreak() function! The developers write in the manual: "Please note that you cannot plot Line Break boxes from Pine script exactly as they look. You can only get a series of numbers similar to OHLC values for Line Break charts and use them in your algorithms." However, it is possible to build a “Linear Breakthrough” chart exactly like the “Linear Breakthrough" chart built into TradingView. Personally, I had enough Pine Script functionality.
For a complete understanding of how such a graph is built, you can refer to Steve Nison's book “BEYOND JAPANESE CANDLES” and see the instructions for creating a “Three-Line Breakthrough” chart (the number of lines for a breakthrough is three):
Rule 1: if today's price is above the base price (closing the first candle), draw a white line from the base price to the new maximum price (before closing).
or Rule 2: if today's price is below the base price, draw a black line from the base price to the new low of prices (before closing).
Rule 3: if today's price is no different from the base, do not draw any line.
Rule 4: if today's price rises above the maximum of the first line, shift to the column to the right and draw a new white line from the previous maximum to the new maximum of prices.
Rule 5: if the price is below the low of the first line, move one column to the right and draw a new black line down from the previous low to the new low of prices.
Rule 6: if the price is kept in the range of the first line, nothing is applied to the chart.
Rule 7: if the market reaches a new maximum, surpassing the maximum of previous lines, move to the column to the right and draw a new white line up to a new maximum.
Rule 8: if today's price is below the low of previous lines (i.e. there is a new low), move to the right column and draw a new black line down to a new low.
Rule 9: if the price is in the range of the first two lines, nothing is applied to the chart.
Rule 10: if there is a series of three white lines, a new white line is drawn when a new maximum is reached (even if it is only one tick higher than the old one). Under the same conditions, for drawing a black reversal line, the price should fall below the minimum of the series of the last three white lines. Such a black line is called a black reversal line. It runs from the base of the highest white line to a new low of price.
Rule 11: if there is a series of three black lines, a new black line is drawn when a new minimum is reached. Under the same conditions, for drawing a white line, called a white reversal line, the price must exceed the maximum of the previous three black lines. This line is drawn from the top of the lowest black line to a new high of the price.
So, the script was not small, but the idea is extremely simple: if you need to break n lines to build a line, then among these n lines (or less, if this is the beginning of the chart), the maximum or minimum of closures and openings will be searched. If the current candles closed above or below these highs or lows, then a new line is added to the chart on the current candles (trend or breakout). According to my observations, this script draws a chart that is completely identical to the Line Breakout chart built into TradingView, but of course with gaps, as there is time in the candles / bar chart. I stuffed all the logic into a wrapper in the form of the get_linebreak() function, which returns a tuple of OHLC values. And these series with the help of the plotcandle() annotation can be converted to the "Linear Breakthrough" chart. I also want to note that with a large number of candles on the chart, outrages about the buffer size uncertainty are heard from the TradingView black box. Because of this, in the annotation study() set the value to the max_bars_back parameter.
In general, use it (for example, to write strategies)!
Force IndexWhat is the force index ?
The force index is an oscillator used to confirm price breakout strengths and identify potential trends.
It was popularized by A. Elder.
How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ) .
How to use the force index
An important change in the force index indicate a strong momentum in the price action.
You can read more about the force index interpretation on Investopedia
Customization
You can display the indicator as an histogram, or as a line chart.
You can change EMA length, although it's recommended to keep it at default value.
CME Equity Futures Price Limits
Breakers for CME's futures contracts. Should work on CST/EST/UTC charts.
CME says it uses the last 30 seconds of the session to grab a reference price, so I took the open of the last session's candle because it's easier.
Out of session breakers: +/-5%
Limit downs: -7%/-13%/-20%
There are some minor nuances for the later part of the NY session but I don't really care to add that in right now.
Options:
- Input a manual reference price to override the selected price for accuracy.
- Show only the current/last session's limits. This breaks the in session limit down lines.

Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0 Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0
This indicator helps identify spikes in market activity , typified by bars with extreme open / close or high / low prices.
This indicator plots 2 lines. The Blue line simply depicts extreme price movements with in that bar regardless of the initial opening price of the closing price of the bar. This allows you to get an insight into the current volatility of the price at that time in the market. Quite often big price swings with in bars are missed as people pend to tunnel vision on the open or close price - or other indicators derived from open / close.
The Red line is similar to the blue bar as it depicts extreme price movements with in the bar , but it will show the direction the market moved in by the close of the bar - and relatively how much the market moved. This is helpful for spotting breakout price action or short term spikes. Quite often after a breakout the market will restore itself to an equilibrium in the opposite direction. Sometimes this happens with an opposing aggressive spike , some times it makes a steady return to a known price level. Either way its a great time to place entry orders if you are looking to turn a fast profit or alternatively a good warning of forth coming price volatility.
Here are some tips for analysing the red and blue lines :
1)If the red line is pointing upwards , this indicates a sharp rise in the price.
2)If the red line is pointing downwards , this indicates a sharp fall in the price.
3)If the red line is flat but the blue line is spiked in either direction - this indicates the price was volatile with in the bar , but the price closed relatively near to the surrounding price bars. Perhaps a limit / stop triggered by this kind of activity - this is an easy way to determine why and re-enter.
4)If the red and the blue lines are flat - the price is steadily moving with a trend or trading sideways in a confined range.
Pops EMA Breakout Suite - PDH/PDL + PMH/PML + 13/48/200📘 How to Use the Pops EMA Breakout Suite
This script combines Previous Day Levels, Pre-Market Levels, and your EMA fan (13/48/200) into a repeatable trading framework. It’s designed for SPY, QQQ, IWM, and leading stocks — but can be applied anywhere.
🔹 Step 1: Check the Opening Condition
Price must open inside yesterday’s high (PDH) and yesterday’s low (PDL).
This tells you the market is “balanced” and ready for a breakout trade.
🔹 Step 2: Mark the Pre-Market Range (4:00–9:30 ET)
The script automatically plots:
PMH = Pre-Market High (blue line)
PML = Pre-Market Low (blue line)
These are your first breakout trigger levels.
🔹 Step 3: Wait for the Break
If price breaks above PMH, look for longs/calls targeting PDH.
If price breaks below PML, look for shorts/puts targeting PDL.
If price chops between PMH and PML → this is the No-Trade Zone. Sit on hands.
🔹 Step 4: Use the 2-Min EMA Fan for Entry
On a 2-minute chart:
Fast EMA (13, yellow) → entry trigger.
Mid EMA (48, purple) → short-term trend guide.
Slow EMA (200, red) → big-picture filter.
Entry Rule:
After breakout, wait for a pullback to the 13 EMA.
Enter when price rejects and continues in breakout direction.
Stop-loss = just past the 13 EMA.
🔹 Step 5: Manage the Trade
First targets = PDH/PDL zones.
Optional scaling = VWAP, Fib retrace, or major support/resistance.
Trail remainder with the 13 EMA.
🔹 Step 6: Alerts & Automation
The script has built-in alerts you can set:
“Break Above PM High” → signals breakout long.
“Break Below PM Low” → signals breakout short.
“2-min Long Entry” → confirms pullback long.
“2-min Short Entry” → confirms pullback short.
👉 In short: Levels (PDH/PDL, PMH/PML) give you the roadmap. EMAs give you the timing.

Volatility Cone Forecaster Lite [PhenLabs]📊 Volatility Cone Forecaster
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Volatility Cone Forecaster (VCF) is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a forward-looking perspective on market volatility. Instead of merely measuring past price fluctuations, the VCF analyzes historical volatility data to project a statistical “cone” that outlines a probable range for future price movements. Its core purpose is to contextualize the current market environment, helping traders to anticipate potential shifts from low to high volatility periods (and vice versa). By identifying whether volatility is expanding or contracting relative to historical norms, it solves the critical problem of preparing for significant market moves before they happen, offering a clear statistical edge in strategy development.
This indicator moves beyond lagging measures by employing percentile analysis to rank the current volatility state. This allows traders to understand not just what volatility is, but how significant it is compared to the recent past. The VCF is built for discretionary traders, system developers, and options strategists who need a sophisticated understanding of market dynamics to manage risk and identify high-probability opportunities.
🚀Points of Innovation
Forward-Looking Volatility Projection: Unlike standard indicators that only show historical data, the VCF projects a statistical cone of future volatility.
Percentile-Based Regime Analysis: Ranks current volatility against historical data (e.g., 90th, 75th percentiles) to provide objective context.
Automated Regime Detection: Automatically identifies and labels the market as being in a ‘High’, ‘Low’, or ‘Normal’ volatility regime.
Expansion & Contraction Signals: Clearly indicates whether volatility is currently increasing or decreasing, signaling shifts in market energy.
Integrated ATR Comparison: Plots an ATR-equivalent volatility measure to offer a familiar point of reference against the statistical model.
Dynamic Visual Modeling: The cone visualization directly on the price chart provides an intuitive guide for future expected price ranges.
🔧Core Components
Realized Volatility Engine: Calculates historical volatility using log returns over multiple user-defined lookback periods (short, medium, long) for a comprehensive view.
Percentile Analysis Module: A custom function calculates the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of volatility over a long-term lookback (e.g., 252 days).
Forward Projection Calculator: Uses the calculated volatility percentiles to mathematically derive and draw the upper and lower bounds of the future volatility cone.
Volatility Regime Classifier: A logic-based system that compares current volatility to the historical percentile bands to classify the market state.
🔥Key Features
Customizable Lookback Periods: Adjust short, medium, and long-term lookbacks to fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to different market cycles.
Configurable Forward Projection: Set the number of days for the forward cone projection to align with your specific trading horizon.
Interactive Display Options: Toggle visibility for percentile labels, ATR levels, and regime coloring to customize the chart display.
Data-Rich Information Table: A clean, on-screen table displays all key metrics, including current volatility, percentile rank, regime, and trend.
Built-in Alert Conditions: Set alerts for critical events like volatility crossing the 90th percentile, dropping below the 10th, or switching between expansion and contraction.
🎨Visualization
Volatility Cone: Shaded bands projected onto the future price axis, representing the probable price range at different statistical confidence levels (e.g., 75th-90th percentile).
Color-Coded Volatility Line: The primary volatility plot dynamically changes color (e.g., red for high, green for low) to reflect the current volatility regime, providing instant context.
Historical Percentile Bands: Horizontal lines plotted across the indicator pane mark the key percentile levels, showing how current volatility compares to the past.
On-Chart Labels: Clear labels automatically display the current volatility reading, its percentile rank, the detected regime, and trend (Expanding/Contracting).
📖Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Short-term Lookback: Default: 10, Range: 5-50. Controls the most sensitive volatility calculation.
Medium-term Lookback: Default: 21, Range: 10-100. The primary input for the current volatility reading.
Long-term Lookback: Default: 63, Range: 30-252. Provides a baseline for long-term market character.
Percentile Lookback Period: Default: 252, Range: 100-1000. Defines the period for historical ranking; 252 represents one trading year.
Forward Projection Days: Default: 21, Range: 5-63. Determines how many bars into the future the cone is projected.
✅Best Use Cases
Breakout Trading: Identify periods of deep consolidation when volatility falls to low percentile ranks (e.g., below 25th) and begins to expand, signaling a potential breakout.
Mean Reversion Strategies: Target trades when volatility reaches extreme high percentile ranks (e.g., above 90th), as these periods are often unsustainable and lead to contraction.
Options Strategy: Use the cone’s projected upper and lower bounds to help select strike prices for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Risk Management: Widen stop-losses and reduce position sizes when the indicator signals a transition into a ‘High’ volatility regime.
⚠️Limitations
Probabilistic, Not Predictive: The cone represents a statistical probability, not a guarantee of future price action. Extreme, unpredictable news events can drive prices outside the cone.
Lagging by Nature: All calculations are based on historical price data, meaning the indicator will always react to, not pre-empt, market changes.
Non-Directional: The indicator forecasts the *magnitude* of future moves, not the *direction*. It should be paired with a directional analysis tool.
💡What Makes This Unique
Forward Projection: Its primary distinction is projecting a data-driven, statistical forecast of future volatility, which standard oscillators do not do.
Contextual Analysis: It doesn’t just provide a number; it tells you what that number means through percentile ranking and automated regime classification.
🔬How It Works
1. Data Calculation:
The indicator first calculates the logarithmic returns of the asset’s price. It then computes the annualized standard deviation of these returns over short, medium, and long-term lookback periods to generate realized volatility readings.
2. Percentile Ranking:
Using a 252-day lookback, it analyzes the history of the medium-term volatility and determines the values that correspond to the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. This builds a statistical map of the asset’s volatility behavior.
3. Cone Projection:
Finally, it takes these historical percentile values and projects them forward in time, calculating the potential upper and lower price bounds based on what would happen if volatility were to run at those levels over the next 21 days.
💡Note:
The Volatility Cone Forecaster is most effective on daily and weekly charts where statistical volatility models are more reliable. For lower timeframes, consider shortening the lookback periods. Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes other forms of analysis.
Stacey Burke Signal Day LTE“Previously published as ‘Day Zero Fakeout Detector MTF’”
Stacey Burke Signal Day LTE
Automatic detection of Day Zero, Inside Days, and Outside Days for Stacey Burke’s intraday playbook
🔎 Stacey Burke’s Signal Days
This indicator highlights the key daily patterns that often lead to high-probability intraday setups in Stacey Burke’s methodology:
1️⃣ Day Zero
The reset days within a 3-day cycle (e.g. breakout → continuation → exhaustion/reversal).
Can mark the beginning of a new directional phase.
Trades back inside the prior range after a Peak Formation High (PFH) or Peak Formation Low (PFL).
Bias: Look for measured parabolic session moves. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
2️⃣ Inside Day
A day where the entire range is contained within the prior day’s range.
Signals consolidation and energy build-up.
Often leads to explosive breakouts in the next session.
Bias: Trade breakouts of the inside day’s high/low or breakout reversal in the session at key timings in the direction of higher timeframe bias. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
3️⃣ Outside Day (Engulfing Day)
`
A day where the range is larger than the prior day’s range, engulfing both high and low.
Marks trapped traders and fakeouts on both sides.
Often precedes strong continuations or sharp reversals from outside of the ranges.
Bias: Align trades with the true continuation move. When combined with trend following indicators, these signal days can be very powerful.
📌 How They Work Together
Day Zero → Signals the new cycle after PFH/PFL.
Inside Day → Signals compression → expect breakout setups.
Outside Day → Signals exhaustion/fakeouts → expect reversals or continuations.
Together, they give traders a clear daily roadmap for where liquidity sits and when to expect the highest-probability setups.
✅ Example in Practice
Market rallies for 3 days → PFH forms → Day Zero short bias.
Next day prints an Inside Day → watch for breakout continuation short, and breakout reversals.
Later, an Outside Day traps both longs and shorts → the following session offers a clean intraday reversal or continuation trade in line with the underlying MTF trend/bias.

Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.

Tight Close Detection:
ATR-Based Analysis: Uses 14-period ATR to define "tight" price movement
Dual-Bar Confirmation: Requires both current and previous bar to have closing ranges ≤ 20% of ATR
Consolidation Identification: Highlights periods of reduced volatility that often precede significant moves
Customizable Color: Default amber/orange highlighting for easy visual identification
Volume Breakout Detection:
Multi-Criteria Volume Analysis: Triggers when volume exceeds any of three thresholds:
150% of 20-period volume SMA
150% of recent 3-bar average volume
150% of 50-period volume SMA
Price Action Filter: Requires bullish price action (close > previous close OR close in upper 75% of range)
Smart Volume Handling: Automatically detects and works only with instruments that have volume data
Customizable Color: Default teal highlighting for volume-driven moves
Technical Analysis Applications:
Consolidation Patterns: Identify tight trading ranges before potential breakouts
Volume Confirmation: Spot high-volume moves with supportive price action
Entry Timing: Use tight closes to identify potential accumulation zones
Breakout Validation: Volume-colored bars confirm legitimate breakout attempts
Risk Management: Tight closes often indicate lower immediate volatility
How to Use:
Amber/Orange Bars: Indicate tight closing ranges - potential accumulation or consolidation
Teal Bars: Show significant volume with bullish price action - potential breakout confirmation
Normal Bars: Standard market conditions without special highlighting
Pattern Recognition: Look for clusters of tight closes followed by volume breakouts
Technical Requirements:
Works on any timeframe
Automatically adapts to instruments with or without volume data
Compatible with all chart types and drawing tools
CleanBreak Lines (Break + First Retest)CleanBreak lines draws one robust support line (green) from swing lows and one robust resistance line (red) from swing highs, then optionally signals a confirmed break and the first clean retest back to that line. Lines are scored with a transparent W-Score (0–100) so traders can judge quality at a glance. The script is non-repainting and uses only confirmed bar data.
What it does
Auto-builds two trendlines that aim to represent meaningful support and resistance.
Uses a median-based slope so outliers and single spikes do not distort the line.
Computes a W-Score per line from three things: touches, span (how long it held), and respect (staying on the correct side).
Optionally triggers a single, tightly-gated signal on Break + First Retest.
How it works (plain English)
Detect recent swing highs and swing lows.
Fit one line through highs and one through lows using a robust, median-style slope estimate.
Score each line: more clean touches and longer span raise the W-Score; frequent violations lower it.
A break requires a candle close beyond the line by a small ATR margin.
A first retest requires price to come back to the line within a limited number of bars and hold on close.
A single arrow may print on that confirmed retest, with optional alerts.
What it is not
Not a prediction model and not a promises-of-profit tool.
Not a multi-signal spammer: by design it aims to allow one retest entry per break.
Not a regression channel or machine-learning system.
How to use
At a glance: treat the green line as candidate support and the red line as candidate resistance.
Conservative approach: wait for a break on close and then the first retest to hold; use the arrow as a prompt, not a command.
Context-only mode: hide arrows in Style if you want the lines and W-Score only.
Inputs (brief)
Core: Swing Length, Max Pivots, Min Touches, Min Span Bars.
Scoring: Touches Max (cap), Weights for touches vs span, Min W-Score to arm.
Break and Retest: Break Margin x ATR, Retest Tolerance x ATR, Retest Window (bars).
Visuals: Show Labels, Show Table, Line Width, Fade When Refit.
Recommended presets
Cleaner, fewer signals: Min Touches 4–5, Min Span Bars 100–150, Min W-Score 70–80, Break Margin 0.40–0.60 ATR, Retest Tolerance 0.10–0.15 ATR, Retest Window 8–12 bars.
Lines-only: keep defaults and uncheck the two plotshapes in Style.
Alerts
CB Long Retest: break above the red line and first retest holds.
CB Short Retest: break below the green line and first retest holds.
Use “Once per bar close” for consistency.
On-chart table (if enabled)
RES / SUP: W-Score and distance from price in ATR terms.
Status: “Waiting Long RT”, “Waiting Short RT”, or “Idle”.
Thresholds: MinScore and Retest bars for quick context.
Timeframes
Works well on 1h to 1D. On very low timeframes, raise Break Margin x ATR to reduce whipsaw effects. On higher timeframes, increase Min Touches and Min Span Bars.
Non-repainting policy
All logic uses confirmed pivots and confirmed bar closes.
Breaks and retests are validated on close; alerts reference only confirmed conditions.
No lookahead in any request.security call.
Original implementation focused on a median-based robust slope for auto trendlines, plus a transparent W-Score and a single retest gate.

Smart Money Breakout Moving Strength [GILDEX]🟠OVERVIEW
This script draws breakout detection zones called “Smart Money Breakout Channels” based on volatility-normalized price movement and visualizes them as dynamic boxes with volume overlays. It identifies temporary accumulation or distribution ranges using a custom normalized volatility metric and tracks when price breaks out of those zones—either upward or downward. Each channel represents a structured range where smart money may be active, helping traders anticipate key breakouts with added context from volume delta, up/down volume, and a visual gradient gauge for momentum bias.
🟠CONCEPTS
The script calculates normalized price volatility by measuring the standard deviation of price mapped to a scale using the highest and lowest prices over a set lookback period. When normalized volatility reaches a local low and flips upward, a boxed channel is drawn between the highest and lowest prices in that zone. These boxes persist until price breaks out, either with a strong candle close (configurable) or by touching the boundary. Volume analysis enhances interpretation by rendering delta bars inside the box, showing volume distribution during the channel. Additionally, a real-time visual “gauge” shows where volume delta sits within the channel range, helping users spot pressure imbalances.

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

CTA-min D1 — Donchian 55/20 Trend Breakout (ATR Risk)What it is
A clean, daily trend-following breakout inspired by classic CTA/Turtle logic. It buys strength and sells weakness, then lets winners run with a channel-based trailing stop. No curve-fitting, no clutter—just rules.
How it trades
Timeframe: Daily (D1)
Entry: Close breaks the previous 55-bar Donchian channel (above for longs, below for shorts).
Exit/Trail: Trailing stop at the 20-bar Donchian channel on the opposite side (no fixed TP).
Risk: Initial stop = ATR(N) × stopMult (ATR is smoothed). Position size risks riskPct% of equity based on stop distance.
Labels: “BUY/SELL” only on the entry bar; “STOP BUY/STOP SELL” only on the exit bar.
Pyramiding: Off (one position at a time).
Regime Alignment with EMAs (recommended filter, not enforced by code)
Add EMA 50 and EMA 200 to the D1 chart.
Long bias: take BUY signals only when EMA50 > EMA200 (bullish regime).
Short bias: take SELL signals only when EMA50 < EMA200 (bearish regime).
Optional: for extra selectivity, require the H4 EMAs (50/200) to align with D1 before acting on a signal.
Inputs
entryN (55), exitN (20), atrLen (20), atrSmooth (10), stopMult (2.0), riskPct (0.5%–1.0% recommended).
Works well on (tested by user)
BTCUSD (Bitcoin), EURUSD, GBPJPY, NAS100/US100, USDJPY, AUDUSD, XAGUSD (Silver), US30 (Dow), JP225 (Nikkei), EURGBP, NZDUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF.
How to use
Apply to D1 charts. Review once per day after the daily close and execute next session open to mirror backtest assumptions. Best used as a portfolio strategy across multiple uncorrelated markets. Use the EMA alignment above as a discretionary regime filter to reduce false breakouts.

Recent Range DetectorOverview
The Recent Range Detector is a specialized indicator designed to identify when an asset is currently range-bound, providing traders with clear support and resistance levels for range trading strategies. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on trend detection, this tool specifically answers the question: "Is the price range-bound right now, and what are the exact trading levels?"
Key Features
✅ Smart Range Detection - Uses a multi-factor scoring system to identify legitimate ranges
✅ Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels - Automatically calculates and displays key trading levels
✅ Range Quality Scoring - Provides confidence levels (Strong/Moderate/Weak Range)
✅ Touch Validation - Counts actual price touches to confirm range reliability
✅ Breakout Detection - Alerts when price exits the established range
✅ Visual Clarity - Clean boxes, lines, and labels for easy interpretation
How It Works
The indicator analyses recent price action using three core metrics:
Touch Quality (40%) - How many times price has respected support/resistance levels
Containment Quality (40%) - What percentage of recent bars stayed within the range
Recent Respect (20%) - Whether the latest price action confirms the range
These combine into a Range Score (0-1) that determines range strength and reliability.
Settings & Parameters
Range Lookback Period (Default: 15)
Number of bars to analyse for range detection
Shorter periods = more responsive to recent ranges
Longer periods = more stable, fewer false signals
Range Tolerance (Default: 2.0%)
Tolerance for price touches around exact highs/lows
Lower values = stricter range requirements
Higher values = more flexible range detection
Minimum Touches (Default: 3)
Required number of support/resistance touches for valid range
Higher values = more confirmed ranges, fewer signals
Lower values = more sensitive, earlier detection
Visual Options
Show Range Box: Displays the range boundaries
Show Support/Resistance Lines: Extends levels into the future
Understanding the Output
Range Score (0.000 - 1.000)
0.7+ = Strong Range (Green) - High confidence range trading setup
0.5-0.7 = Moderate Range (Yellow) - Decent range with some caution
0.3-0.5 = Weak Range (Orange) - Low confidence, be careful
<0.3 = Not Ranging - Avoid range trading strategies
Range Status Classifications
Strong Range - Perfect for range trading strategies
Moderate Range - Good range with normal risk
Weak Range - Marginal range, use smaller positions
Not Ranging - Price is trending or too choppy for range trading
Key Metrics in Info Table
Range Size (%) - Size of the range relative to price level
5-15% = Ideal range size for most strategies
<5% = Tight range, lower profit potential
>15% = Wide range, higher profit potential but more risk
Support/Resistance Levels - Exact price levels for entries/exits
Use these as your key trading levels
Support = potential buy zone
Resistance = potential sell zone
Total Touches - Number of times price respected the levels
3-5 touches = Newly formed range
6-10 touches = Well-established range
10+ touches = Very strong, reliable range
Price Position (%) - Current location within the range
0-20% = Near support (potential long opportunity)
80-100% = Near resistance (potential short opportunity)
40-60% = Middle of range (wait for better entry)
Visual Elements
Range Box
Green Box = Strong Range (Score ≥ 0.7)

Opening Range BreakoutThis indicator is designed for Opening Range Breakout (ORB) traders who want automatic calculation of breakout levels and multiple price targets.
It is optimised for NSE intraday trading, capturing the first 15-minute range from 09:15 to 09:30 and plotting key breakout targets for both long and short trades.
✨ Features:
Automatic daily reset — fresh levels are calculated every trading day.
Opening Range High & Low plotted immediately after 09:30.
Two profit targets for both Buy & Sell breakouts based on the opening range size:
T1 = 100% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
T2 = 200% of range added/subtracted from OR high/low.
Clear breakout signals (BUY / SELL labels) when price crosses the OR High or Low.
Custom alerts for both buy and sell triggers.
Designed to work on any intraday timeframe (1min, 3min, 5min, etc.).
📊 How it works:
From 09:15 to 09:30, the script records the highest and lowest prices.
At 09:30, the range is locked in and breakout targets are calculated automatically.
Buy and Sell signals are generated when price breaks above the OR High or below the OR Low.
Targets and range lines automatically reset for the next day.
⚠️ Notes:
This script is tuned for NSE market timings but can be adapted for other markets by changing the session input.
Works best on intraday charts for active traders.
