This indicator compares buyers demand with sellers supply volumes and calculates which prevails. Therefore it only works if volume is published. Buyers demand is assumed for a period in which a higher high is reached with more volume . Sellers supply is recognized by a lower low combined with more volume .
The average of sellers supplies is subtracted from buyers demand, the result is graded because a statement like “The faith in this period was ## percent” has no meaning. We can conclude to more faith and less faith but not represent it in some exact number.
This indicator assigns the following grades:
Very high faith graduated as 8
High faith as 6
Good faith as 4
Some Faith as 2
Little Faith as 1
Neither Faith nor Distrust as zero
Self Protection Distrust graduated as -8
Fear Distrust as -6
Anxiety Distrust as -4
Suspicion Distrust as -2
Doubt Distrust as -1
It is presented as a histogram with blue staves pointing up (meaning faith) and red staves pointing down (meaning distrust)
The background is colored using the Hull Agreement Indicator (Hullag), which I published before. Hullag graduates price movements in five grades to which it assigns a background color. These are as follows:
grade 2: blue, clear upward movement
grade 1: green, some upward movement
grade 0: silver , neither upward nor downward movement
grade -1: maroon, some downward movement
grad -2: red, clear downward movement.
Use of the Faith Indicator:
The indicator shows price action/momentum as a background color and volume action analyzed as a grade of faith in the form of a histogram. Usually faith comes together with rising prices (blue/green background) and distrust with lowering prices (red/maroon background), however contrarian situations occur, e.g. lowering prices while the market has good faith. These can be explained by minority sellers who act contrary to the feelings in the market. You can then decide that this might be an unsustainable move of the quotes.
If the faith indicator confirms the price movement, you might assume that the move is meaningful and will go further. Also if you see faith diminishing you might assume that the move is coming to an end and the tide is going to turn.

Bitcoin Logarithmic Fractal Growth Model By ARUDDThis model, which I'm calling the Logarithmic Fractal Growth Mode (L.F.G) , uses Bitcoin's mathematical monetary policy to evaluate the future possible price valuation.
It takes into account fractal (and logarithmic) growth as well as how those who hold bitcoins might react to certain events such as changes in supply and demand. It also shows that it is mathematically logical that someday it must become stable.
The information gained from knowing this helps people make more informed decisions when buying bitcoin and thinking of its future possibilities.
The model can serve as some type of general guideline for determining how much bitcoins should be worth in the future if it follows a certain path from its current price.
Modeling Bitcoin's money supply mathematically, and knowing that there is a finite number of them, makes this whole process much more rational than just thinking about the possibilities in pure subjective terms.
Before going any further I want to say that no one can know with absolute certainty what will happen to bitcoins price in the future, but using mathematics gives us an idea of where things are headed.
The results presented here are based on very reasonable assumptions for how bitcoin might continue to grow (and then level out) once there are over 21 million bitcoins in existence.
The model shows that bitcoin's price can never go down to zero (thus creating the "death spiral" phenomenon), and as such, bitcoin has an extremely high probability of becoming stable as it approaches infinity.
Conversely, this model also shows that at some point there is a high probability that bitcoin will not continue to grow exponentially forever.

Support and Resistance Levels [racer8]One of the oldest concepts in trading. It's here guys. Drum roll please. Support & resistance baby! 🤣
So many requests from so many people asking me to build this. Finally. It is here guys 😀 Support and Resistance is here by racer8!
Indeed, S&R is used by so many traders. It is often one of the first concepts a trader will learn. I myself, can attest to this.
So what is support and resistance? 🤔
Good question, S&R are certain price levels that are created when a peak or trough has formed. Many traders use these peaks/troughs and extend lines out from them to create support & resistance levels.
Support levels are extended out from troughs. Resistance levels from peaks.
It is often believed that price bounces between these levels due to some unknown mysterious force known as supply and demand. 🙀
If you're a reversal trader, your strategy would likely be trying to short whenever price reaches a resistance level and vice versa for support levels.
If you're a trend trader, your strategy would likely be trying to go long whenever price breaks a resistance level and vice versa for support levels.
This Indicator...
Has one setting that controls which levels are formed. Higher settings equals less levels formed, but more important ones. Don't set it too high or too low. There is an optimal setting. Setting it too high will result in very few levels and thus, too little opportunities to trade. Setting it too low means the indicator will give you insignificant levels..also bad idea. So try to find something optimal like 10 to 20 periods for instance. 👍
Enjoy and have a blast!😀
Peace, I'm out! 🙏 💥
Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & MACD Crossover with Trail and Stop
This is a modification of @HPotter "Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & MACD Crossover" script.
I've added a trail stop, basic leverage simulation and stop loss.
Below is HPotter's explanation of the script principals.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence. The MACD is calculated
by subtracting a 26-day moving average of a security's price from a
12-day moving average of its price. The result is an indicator that
oscillates above and below zero. When the MACD is above zero, it means
the 12-day moving average is higher than the 26-day moving average.
This is bullish as it shows that current expectations (i.e., the 12-day
moving average) are more bullish than previous expectations (i.e., the
26-day average). This implies a bullish , or upward, shift in the supply/demand
lines. When the MACD falls below zero, it means that the 12-day moving average
is less than the 26-day moving average, implying a bearish shift in the
supply/demand lines.
A 9-day moving average of the MACD (not of the security's price) is usually
plotted on top of the MACD indicator. This line is referred to as the "signal"
line. The signal line anticipates the convergence of the two moving averages
(i.e., the movement of the MACD toward the zero line).
Let's consider the rational behind this technique. The MACD is the difference
between two moving averages of price. When the shorter-term moving average rises
above the longer-term moving average (i.e., the MACD rises above zero), it means
that investor expectations are becoming more bullish (i.e., there has been an
upward shift in the supply/demand lines). By plotting a 9-day moving average of
the MACD , we can see the changing of expectations (i.e., the shifting of the
supply/demand lines) as they occur.

90% DaysIndicator from the paper "IDENTIFYING BEAR MARKET BOTTOMS AND NEW BULL MARKETS"
This paper was the winner of the prestigious 2002 Charles H. Dow Award. Each year the Market Technicians Association, in alliance with Dow Jones and Company, presents an award for excellence in the field of Technical Analysis. The recipient of that award in 2002 was Paul Desmond, President of Lowry Research Corporation.
"Important market bottoms are preceded by, and result from, important market declines.
And, important market declines are, for the most part, a study in the extremes of human emotion.
The intensity of their emotions can be statistically measured through their purchases and sales. To
clarify, as prices initially begin to weaken, investor psychology slowly shifts from complacency to
concern, resulting in increased selling and an acceleration of the decline. As prices drop more
quickly, and the news becomes more negative, the psychology shifts from concern to fear. Sooner
or later, fear turns to panic, driving prices sharply lower, as investors strive to get out of the market
at any price. It is this panic stage that drives prices down to extreme discounts – often well below
book values – that is needed to set the stage for the next bull market. Thus, if an investor had a
method for identifying and measuring panic selling, at least half the job of spotting major market
bottoms would be at hand.
Over the years, a number of market analysts have attempted to define panic selling (often
referred to as a selling climax, or capitulation) in terms of extreme activity, such as unusually
active volume, a massive number of declining stocks, or a large number of new lows. But, those
definitions do not stand up under critical examination, because panic selling must be measured in
terms of intensity, rather than just activity. To formulate our definition of panic selling, we
reviewed the daily history of both the price changes and the volume of trading for every stock
traded on the New York Stock Exchange over a period of 69 years, from 1933 to present. We
broke the volume of trading down into two parts – Upside (buyers) Volume and Downside (sellers)
Volume. We also compiled the full and fractional dollars of price change for all NYSE-listed
stocks that advanced each day (Points Gained), as well as the full and fractional dollars of price
change for all NYSE-listed stocks that declined each day (Points Lost). These four daily totals –
Upside Volume and Points Gained, Downside Volume and Points Lost – represent the basic
components of Demand and Supply, and have been an integral part of the Lowry Analysis since
1938. (Note: an industrious statistician can compile these totals from the NYSE stock tables in
each day’s Wall Street Journal.)
In reviewing these numbers, we found that almost all periods of significant market decline
in the past 69 years have contained at least one, and usually more than one, day of panic selling in
which Downside Volume equaled 90.0% or more of the total of Upside Volume plus Downside
Volume, and Points Lost equaled 90.0% or more of the total of Points Gained plus Points Lost.
...
But, there is a second key ingredient to every major market bottom. It is essential to
recognize that days of panic selling cannot, by themselves, produce a market reversal, any more
than simply lowering the sale price on a house will suddenly produce an enthusiastic buyer. As the
Law of Supply and Demand would emphasize, it takes strong Demand, not just a reduction in
Supply, to cause prices to rise substantially. It does not matter how much prices are discounted; if
investors are not attracted to buy, even at deeply depressed levels, sellers will eventually be forced
to discount prices further still, until Demand is eventually rejuvenated. Thus, our 69-year record
shows that declines containing two or more 90% Downside Days usually persist, on a trend basis,
until investors eventually come rushing back in to snap up what they perceive to be the bargains of
the decade and, in the process, produce a 90% Upside Day (in which Points Gained equal 90.0% or
more of the sum of Points Gained plus Points Lost, and on which Upside Volume equals 90.0% or
more of the sum of Upside plus Downside Volume). These two events – panic selling (one or more
90% Downside Days) and panic buying (a 90% Upside Day, or on rare occasions, two back-toback 80% Upside Days)
– produce very powerful probabilities that a major trend reversal has
begun, and that the market’s Sweet Spot is ready to be savored."
Includes an option to display 90% days for NASDAQ, but these are much rarer and, oddly, there are no Upside Days.
*Includes an option for repainting -- default value is true, meaning the script will repaint the current bar.
False = Not Repainting = Value for the current bar is not repainted, but all past values are offset by 1 bar.
True = Repainting = Value for the current bar is repainted, but all past values are correct and not offset by 1 bar.
In both cases, all of the historical values are correct, it is just a matter of whether you prefer the current bar to be realistically painted and the historical bars offset by 1, or the current bar to be repainted and the historical data to match their respective price bars.
As explained by TradingView,`f_security()` is for coders who want to offer their users a repainting/no-repainting version of the HTF data.
[PX] Lookback LevelHey guys,
this indicator detects support and resistance level based on the number of times a level got tested in a certain range.
How does it work?
In the user input settings, you will be able to choose between two modes "Tested Level" and "Untested Level".
"Tested Level" will be detected by the number of times a certain low or high got tested in the "Lookback"-range, while fitting in the "Deviation"-range of the specific high or low. A crossing of the level is allowed. The "Untested Level" work the same way, but crossings of the level will eliminate it.
The indicator is highly dependent on which input you will use. Please play around with the settings and see how it works on different timeframes and symbols.
As always, it comes with styling options for the levels.
If some of you find it useful, please leave a like and hit the follow button :)
Happy trading,
paaax
[PX] VWAP Gap LevelHello guys,
another day, another method for detecting support and resistance level. This time it's all about the VWAP and daily gaps it might produce.
How does it work?
The indicator detects when a new daily candle begins and the VWAP makes a big move in either direction. Often it produces a gap and this is where the support or resistance level will be plotted. The idea behind it is, that those gaps get filled at some point in time. You can control how big a VWAP movement ("gap") has to be with the "VWAP Movement %" -setting. Also, you can adjust the style of the level.
If you find this indicator useful, please leave a "like" and hit that "follow" button :)
Have fun and happy trading :)))
[PX] MTF Standard Deviation LevelHello guys,
once again, I want to show you a different method for detecting support and resistance level. Today's approach is similar to the one I posted recently, but the way the level will be detected is different. I call it the multi-timeframe standard deviation level.
How does it work?
The method is similar to the way Bollinger Bands work. First, the indicator calculates the standard deviation, which can be influenced by the "Sensitivity"- and "Length"-setting.
Sensitiitiy - the higher the value, the fewer level will be shown
Length - simply the length for the standard deviation formula
Second, the detected value will be added (for resistance level) or substracted (for support level) from the current close. Once the upper or lower boundaries are crossed, a level will appear and keeps moving until the up- or downward movement finishes. Then the level will settle and stay in place.
Again, as seen in my previous indicator, you can control all the different styles and colors for the levels. The best part is, the whole thing works in a multi-timeframe fashion. In an example, you could select the "Daily" level and plot them on a 4-hour chart.
If you find this indicator useful, please leave a "like" and hit that "follow" button :)
Have fun, happy trading and once again Merry Christmas :)))

MACD Crossover Backtest MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence. The MACD is calculated
by subtracting a 26-day moving average of a security's price from a
12-day moving average of its price. The result is an indicator that
oscillates above and below zero. When the MACD is above zero, it means
the 12-day moving average is higher than the 26-day moving average.
This is bullish as it shows that current expectations (i.e., the 12-day
moving average) are more bullish than previous expectations (i.e., the
26-day average). This implies a bullish, or upward, shift in the supply/demand
lines. When the MACD falls below zero, it means that the 12-day moving average
is less than the 26-day moving average, implying a bearish shift in the
supply/demand lines.
A 9-day moving average of the MACD (not of the security's price) is usually
plotted on top of the MACD indicator. This line is referred to as the "signal"
line. The signal line anticipates the convergence of the two moving averages
(i.e., the movement of the MACD toward the zero line).
Let's consider the rational behind this technique. The MACD is the difference
between two moving averages of price. When the shorter-term moving average rises
above the longer-term moving average (i.e., the MACD rises above zero), it means
that investor expectations are becoming more bullish (i.e., there has been an
upward shift in the supply/demand lines). By plotting a 9-day moving average of
the MACD, we can see the changing of expectations (i.e., the shifting of the
supply/demand lines) as they occur.

VPT_OBVThis is a derivation of the On Balance Volume Indicator.
The idea behind it is that volume consists of two parts. The driving theory is the basic law of supply and demand.
Part 1: Volume consists of shares traded at an equilibrium price. An equal number of buyers and sellers are present during this volume. This area is displayed as the upper and lower shadows on a single candlestick. For this indicator, volume traded in equilibrium is not included in the display.
Part 2: Volume consists of shares that are not traded at an equilibrium price, driving price up or down for the time period. In this volume, buyers or sellers are not present in equal numbers. This area is displayed as the body of the candlestick. This indicator focuses on this part of volume.
VPT_OBV plots only the volume that occurs at the difference in price between the open and the close. To achieve this, volume is divided by the difference between the high and the low (in pennies). Next, the difference between the open and close is calculated (in pennies). Volume is then divided by the difference in the high and low, to get the amount of volume needed to move the asset up or down by $0.01 during the time period. This number is then multiplied by the difference between the open and close.
VPT_OBV plots the outcome as a cumulative total. A simple moving average of the VPT_OBV is thrown in to provide smoothing.

Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones
Overview
The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities.
Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise.
Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price.
This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility.
This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios:
Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges.
Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength.
Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance.
By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets.
How It Works
The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process:
Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression.
Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity).
Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance.
Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity.
Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision.
Interpretation
The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution.
Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure.
Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios.
By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts.
Strategy Integration
The Volume Order Block Scanner integrates naturally into advanced structural and order-flow methodologies:
Liquidity Mapping : Identify high-volume regions that are likely to influence future price reactions.
Break-of-Structure Confirmation : Validate BOS and CHOCH signals through aligned order block behavior.
Volume Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves volume or momentum indicators to confirm real institutional intent.
Smart-Money Frameworks : Utilize order block retests as precision entry zones within SMC-based setups.
Trend Continuation : Filter zones in line with higher-timeframe bias to maintain directional integrity.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Dual-filter mechanism using Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) and Body-ATR Ratio (BAR).
Volatility Framework : ATR-based scaling for cross-asset proportionality.
Zone Composition : Body and wick regions plotted independently for visual clarity of imbalance.
Lifecycle Logic : Real-time monitoring of reaction, mitigation, and invalidation states.
Directional Coloring : Distinct bullish and bearish shading with adjustable transparency.
Computation Efficiency : Lightweight structure suitable for multi-timeframe or multi-asset environments.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
5m - 15m : Reactive intraday zones for short-term liquidity engagement.
1H - 4H : Medium-term structures for swing or intraday trend mapping.
Daily - Weekly : Macro accumulation and distribution footprints.
Suggested Configuration:
Relative Volume Threshold : 1.5× - 2.0× average volume.
Body-ATR Threshold : 0.8× - 1.2× for valid displacement.
Zone Expiry : 5 - 10 bars for intraday use, 15 - 30 for swing/macro contexts.
Parameter optimization should be asset-specific, tuned to volatility conditions and liquidity depth.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets exhibiting clear displacement and directional flow.
Environments with consistent volume expansion and liquidity inefficiencies.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Range-bound markets with frequent false impulses.
Low-volume sessions lacking institutional participation.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with structure-based BOS or liquidity tools for validation.
Risk Management : Treat active order blocks as contextual areas of interest, not guaranteed reversal points.
Multi-Timeframe Logic : Derive bias from higher-timeframe blocks and execute from refined lower-timeframe structures.
Volume Verification : Confirm each reaction with concurrent volume acceleration to avoid false liquidity cues.
Disclaimer
The Volume Order Block Scanner is a quantitative mapping framework designed for professional traders and analysts. It is not a predictive or guaranteed system of profit.
Performance depends on correct configuration, market conditions, and disciplined risk management. BOSWaves recommends using this indicator as part of a comprehensive analytical process - integrating structural, volume, and liquidity context for accurate interpretation.
