Rally Base Drop Signals [LuxAlgo]The Rally Base Drop indicator is built around the Supply and Demand (SND) concept known as "Rally, Base & Drop" Candles. These candle types are commonly used in this trading approach to identify price structure.
This indicator highlights bars by labeling them as "Rally," "Drop," or "Base" candles. It also identifies specific sequence patterns formed by these candles.
🔶 USAGE
The Rally, Base, Drop candlestick approach is a straightforward method for identifying price action structure.
Candles are categorized into three types, which are then analyzed to understand market structure and Supply/Demand levels.
Rally: Two or more consecutive bullish candles.
Drop: Two or more consecutive bearish candles.
Base: A single bullish or bearish candle that breaks the previous trend.
🔹 Rally & Drop Candles
These candles show clear directional momentum and signal whether demand or supply is dominating. They are helpful when identifying trends, as they highlight strong price movement.
🔹 Base Candles
In most SND strategies, "Base" can have several interpretations.
Typically, base candles represent short periods of consolidation that test the trend before continuation. They can also be found at turning points (tops or bottoms).
For this indicator, a base candle is simply one that does not follow the direction of nearby candles or is where a Drop and Rally meet. Multiple base candles often reflect indecision in the market, suggesting a temporary balance between buyers and sellers.
🔹 Reversal Sequences
Rally-Base-Drop (RBD)
Drop-Base-Rally (DBR)
In Supply and Demand analysis, these sequences are considered reversals. They mark zones where buyer and seller activity has shifted, which can lead to future price reactions. These areas are known as "Supply or Demand Zones" and are often revisited by price, making them useful for trade setups.
🔹 Continuation Sequences
Rally-Base-Rally (RBR)
Drop-Base-Drop (DBD)
Continuation sequences show a brief pause in the trend, followed by further movement in the same direction. In SND terms, they represent zones where orders accumulate before a continuation move. These are typically used to join ongoing trends, as they indicate sustained interest from buyers or sellers.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Color Modes
The script includes three color modes. "No Color" is self-explanatory, while the other two options relate to how candles are detected.
A Rally or Drop requires at least two candles to be successfully identified. As a result, detection occurs on the second candle. However, the full Rally or Drop includes both candles.
Two coloring methods are available:
Full Color: Once a Rally or Drop is detected (on the second bar), both candles are colored, starting from the first. This reflects the full pattern.
Color on Detection: Only the second candle (where detection occurs) is colored. This avoids changing past bars and may be useful for live analysis.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sequences: Select which sequences to display on the chart.
Bar Color Logic: Choose the preferred bar coloring method.

Volume by Time [LuxAlgo]The Volume by Time indicator collects volume data for every point in time over the day and displays the average volume of the specific dataset collected at each respective bar.
The indicator overlays the current volume and the historical average to allow for better comparisons.
🔶 USAGE
Throughout the day, the volume of every bar is stored in groups organized by the time when each bar occurred.
Over time, the datasets accumulate, and from that, we can simply determine the average value at each specific time of the day.
The display is a histogram style, which consists of hollow bars and solid filled columns.
-Hollow bars represent the average volume at that time of the day.
-Solid columns display the current volume from the current bar.
By default, the entire history of data is used, but if desired, the number of days under analysis can be specified to provide a more relevant point of view.
A readout of the number of days being analyzed can be seen in the status bar at any time.
Note: Due to partial sessions, it is typical to see this value change throughout the day; this is simply due to the fact that not every trading session has the exact same schedule 100% of the time.
The analysis type can also be specified; these can be either Average (Default) or Median.
Additionally, a Bi-directional can be toggled for a distinct difference between upwards volume and downwards volume.
🔶 SETTINGS
Analysis Type: Choose between Average or Median analysis modes.
Length (Days): Set the number of days to use for analysis. Set to 0 for full data (Default 0).
Bi-Directional Toggle: Toggle between one-sided or two-sided display.
Standardized Cumulative Deltas [LuxAlgo]The Standardized Cumulative Deltas tool allows traders to compare the cumulative standardized open-close difference for up to 10 different tickers, allowing them to visualize the general sentiment for all selected tickers.
These results allow the construction of two areas showing the average or extreme bullish and bearish cumulative change for all enabled tickers, providing a summarized view of the overall ticker group sentiment.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is meant to give a full picture of the individuals and/or overall selected tickers, and unlike classical indicators, the displayed series of values is not meant to be directly interpreted over time.
Given the selected lookback period, a majority of observations being above 0 indicate an overall bullish market for the asset.
By default, the auto lookback period feature is enabled, allowing the tool to use all the visible bars for its calculations. Traders can also set the lookback period manually. The above chart uses a fixed lookback period of 500.
Up to 10 tickers can be used. While major cryptocurrencies are set by default, the users can set a specific basket of assets, such as US equities, forex pairs, commodities, etc.
🔹 Densities
The provided areas, here called densities, can be used to get an overall sentiment of the selected tickers. The upper density (bullish) processes positive deltas, while the lower one (bearish) processes negative ones.
Interpretation is subject to the selected "Density Mode".
Average: Densities track the average bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. For example, a more prominent bullish density would indicate that, on average, cumulative deltas were positive across the tickers.
Envelope: Densities track the extreme values made by bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. Here, a more prominent density would indicate more volatile bullish/bearish movements, depending on the density.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool features a dashboard with active tickers and their respective colors for traders' convenience.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Densities
Densities are obtained by applying a forward-backward exponential moving average on the average, or the highest/lowest cumulative series, depending on the selected Density Mode.
The resulting densities are smoothed by the "Smoothing" parameter located in the Settings panel, with higher values returning smoother envelopes with less variability.
Do note that the smoothing method used here is subject to repainting.
🔶 SETTINGS
Lookback: Select the lookback period and enable/disable the Auto Lookback feature
Tickers: Enable/disable and select up to 10 tickers and their colors

Trendlines Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines Oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum based on the normalized distances between the current price and the most recently detected bullish and bearish trend lines.
The indicator features bullish and bearish momentum, a signal line with crossings, and multiple smoothing options.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator displays three lines: two for momentum and one for the signal. When one of the momentum lines (bullish or bearish) crosses the signal line, the tool displays a dot to indicate which momentum is gaining strength.
As a general rule, when the green bullish momentum line is above the red bearish momentum line, it indicates buyer strength. This means that the actual prices are farther from the support trend lines than the resistance trend lines. The opposite is true for seller strength.
To calculate bullish momentum, the tool first identifies bullish trend lines acting as support below the price. Then, it measures the delta between the price and those trend lines and normalizes the reading into the displayed momentum values.
The same process is used for bearish momentum, but with bearish trendlines acting as resistance above the price.
🔹 Length & Memory
Modifying the Length and Memory values will cause the tool to display different momentum values.
Traders can adjust the length to detect larger trendlines and adjust the memory to indicate how many trendlines the tool should consider.
As the chart above shows, smaller values make the tool more responsive, while larger values are useful for detecting larger trends.
🔹 Smoothing
By default, the data is not smoothed, and the signal uses a triangular moving average with a length of 10. Traders can smooth both the data and the signal line.
Traders can choose from up to ten different methods, or none. Some examples are shown on the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
The steps for the calculations are as follows:
1. Gather the pivots, highs, and lows.
ph = fixnan(ta.pivothigh(lengthInput, lengthInput))
pl = fixnan(ta.pivotlow(lengthInput, lengthInput))
2. Calculate the slope and y-intercept for each trendline between contiguous lower highs (resistance) or higher lows (support).
if ph < ph
slope = (ph - ph )/(n-lengthInput - phx1)
res.unshift(l.new(ph - slope * phx1, slope))
if pl > pl
slope = (pl - pl )/(n-lengthInput - plx1)
sup.unshift(l.new(pl - slope * plx1, slope))
3. Calculate the value of each trendline on the current bar, then calculate the difference with the current price (delta). To calculate the relative sum of deltas, only consider trendlines below the price for support or above the price for resistance.
method get_point(l id, x)=>
id.slope * x + id.intercept
for element in sup
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput > point
sup_sum += sourceInput - point
sup_den += math.abs(sourceInput - point)
for element in res
point = element.get_point(n)
if sourceInput < point
res_sum += point - sourceInput
res_den += math.abs(point - sourceInput)
4. Normalize the value from 0 to 100 by taking the sum of the relative values of the deltas divided by the sum of the absolute values of the deltas.
float supportLine = sup_sum / sup_den * 100
float resistanceLine = res_sum / res_den * 100
5. Smooth both values, then calculate the signal line as the difference between them.
float smoothSupport = smooth(supportLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float smoothResistance = smooth(resistanceLine,dataSmoothingInput,dataSmoothingLengthInput)
float signal = math.abs(smoothSupport - smoothResistance)
float signalLine = smooth(signal,smoothingInput,smoothingLengthInput)
6. Calculate the crossing signals against the signal line, using only the first signal from each series of bullish or bearish crossings.
bullSignal = smoothSupport > signalLine and smoothSupport < signalLine
bearSignal = smoothResistance > signalLine and smoothResistance < signalLine
lastSignal := bullSignal and lastSignal == BEAR ? BULL : bearSignal and lastSignal == BULL ? BEAR : lastSignal
firstBull = ta.change(lastSignal) > 0
firstBear = ta.change(lastSignal) < 0
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: The size of the market structure used for trendline detection.
Memory: The number of trendlines used in calculations.
Source: The source for the calculations is closing prices by default.

Signal Smoothing: Choose the smoothing method and length
Bitcoin Expectile Model [LuxAlgo]The Bitcoin Expectile Model is a novel approach to forecasting Bitcoin, inspired by the popular Bitcoin Quantile Model by PlanC. By fitting multiple Expectile regressions to the price, we highlight zones of corrections or accumulations throughout the Bitcoin price evolution.
While we strongly recommend using this model with the Bitcoin All Time History Index INDEX:BTCUSD on the 3 days or weekly timeframe using a logarithmic scale, this model can be applied to any asset using the daily timeframe or superior.
Please note that here on TradingView, this model was solely designed to be used on the Bitcoin 1W chart, however, it can be experimented on other assets or timeframes if of interest.
🔶 USAGE
The Bitcoin Expectile Model can be applied similarly to models used for Bitcoin, highlighting lower areas of possible accumulation (support) and higher areas that allow for the anticipation of potential corrections (resistance).
By default, this model fits 7 individual Expectiles Log-Log Regressions to the price, each with their respective expectile ( tau ) values (here multiplied by 100 for the user's convenience). Higher tau values will return a fit closer to the higher highs made by the price of the asset, while lower ones will return fits closer to the lower prices observed over time.
Each zone is color-coded and has a specific interpretation. The green zone is a buy zone for long-term investing, purple is an anomaly zone for market bottoms that over-extend, while red is considered the distribution zone.
The fits can be extrapolated, helping to chart a course for the possible evolution of Bitcoin prices. Users can select the end of the forecast as a date using the "Forecast End" setting.
While the model is made for Bitcoin using a log scale, other assets showing a tendency to have a trend evolving in a single direction can be used. See the chart above on QQQ weekly using a linear scale as an example.
The Start Date can also allow fitting the model more locally, rather than over a large range of prices. This can be useful to identify potential shorter-term support/resistance areas.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 On Quantile and Expectile Regressions
Quantile and Expectile regressions are similar; both return extremities that can be used to locate and predict prices where tops/bottoms could be more likely to occur.
The main difference lies in what we are trying to minimize, which, for Quantile regression, is commonly known as Quantile loss (or pinball loss), and for Expectile regression, simply Expectile loss.
You may refer to external material to go more in-depth about these loss functions; however, while they are similar and involve weighting specific prices more than others relative to our parameter tau, Quantile regression involves minimizing a weighted mean absolute error, while Expectile regression minimizes a weighted squared error.
The squared error here allows us to compute Expectile regression more easily compared to Quantile regression, using Iteratively reweighted least squares. For Quantile regression, a more elaborate method is needed.
In terms of comparison, Quantile regression is more robust, and easier to interpret, with quantiles being related to specific probabilities involving the underlying cumulative distribution function of the dataset; on the other expectiles are harder to interpret.
🔹 Trimming & Alterations
It is common to observe certain models ignoring very early Bitcoin price ranges. By default, we start our fit at the date 2010-07-16 to align with existing models.
By default, the model uses the number of time units (days, weeks...etc) elapsed since the beginning of history + 1 (to avoid NaN with log) as independent variable, however the Bitcoin All Time History Index INDEX:BTCUSD do not include the genesis block, as such users can correct for this by enabling the "Correct for Genesis block" setting, which will add the amount of missed bars from the Genesis block to the start oh the chart history.
🔶 SETTINGS
Start Date: Starting interval of the dataset used for the fit.
Correct for genesis block: When enabled, offset the X axis by the number of bars between the Bitcoin genesis block time and the chart starting time.
🔹 Expectiles
Toggle: Enable fit for the specified expectile. Disabling one fit will make the script faster to compute.
Expectile: Expectile (tau) value multiplied by 100 used for the fit. Higher values will produce fits that are located near price tops.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast End: Time at which the forecast stops.
🔹 Model Fit
Iterations Number: Number of iterations performed during the reweighted least squares process, with lower values leading to less accurate fits, while higher values will take more time to compute.
On-Chain Signals [LuxAlgo]The On-Chain Signals indicator uses fundamental blockchain metrics to provide traders with an objective technical view of their favorite cryptocurrencies.
It uses IntoTheBlock datasets integrated within TradingView to generate four key signals: Net Network Growth, In the Money, Concentration, and Large Transactions.
Together, these four signals provide traders with an overall directional bias of the market. All of the data can be visualized as a gauge, table, historical plot, or average.
🔶 USAGE
The main goal of this tool is to provide an overall directional bias based on four blockchain signals, each with three possible biases: bearish, neutral, or bullish. The thresholds for each signal bias can be adjusted on the settings panel.
These signals are based on IntoTheBlock's On-Chain Signals.
Net network growth: Change in the total number of addresses over the last seven periods; i.e., how many new addresses are being created.
In the Money: Change in the seven-period moving average of the total supply in the money. This shows how many addresses are profitable.
Concentration: Change in the aggregate addresses of whales and investors from the previous period. These are addresses holding at least 0.1% of the supply. This shows how many addresses are in the hands of a few.
Large Transactions: Changes in the number of transactions over $100,000. This metric tracks convergence or divergence from the 21- and 30-day EMAs and indicates the momentum of large transactions.
All of these signals together form the blockchain's overall directional bias.
Bearish: The number of bearish individual signals is greater than the number of bullish individual signals.
Neutral: The number of bearish individual signals is equal to the number of bullish individual signals.
Bullish: The number of bullish individual signals is greater than the number of bearish individual signals.
If the overall directional bias is bullish, we can expect the price of the observed cryptocurrency to increase. If the bias is bearish, we can expect the price to decrease. If the signal is neutral, the price may be more likely to stay the same.
Traders should be aware of two things. First, the signals provide optimal results when the chart is set to the daily timeframe. Second, the tool uses IntoTheBlock data, which is available on TradingView. Therefore, some cryptocurrencies may not be available.
🔹 Display Mode
Traders have three different display modes at their disposal. These modes can be easily selected from the settings panel. The gauge is set by default.
🔹 Gauge
The gauge will appear in the center of the visible space. Traders can adjust its size using the Scale parameter in the Settings panel. They can also give it a curved effect.
The number of bars displayed directly affects the gauge's resolution: More bars result in better resolution.
The chart above shows the effect that different scale configurations have on the gauge.
🔹 Historical Data
The chart above shows the historical data for each of the four signals.
Traders can use this mode to adjust the thresholds for each signal on the settings panel to fit the behavior of each cryptocurrency. They can also analyze how each metric impacts price behavior over time.
🔹 Average
This display mode provides an easy way to see the overall bias of past prices in order to analyze price behavior in relation to the underlying blockchain's directional bias.
The average is calculated by taking the values of the overall bias as -1 for bearish, 0 for neutral, and +1 for bullish, and then applying a triangular moving average over 20 periods by default. Simple and exponential moving averages are available, and traders can select the period length from the settings panel.
🔶 DETAILS
The four signals are based on IntoTheBlock's On-Chain Signals. We gather the data, manipulate it, and build the signals depending on each threshold.
Net network growth
float netNetworkGrowthData = customData('_TOTALADDRESSES')
float netNetworkGrowth = 100*(netNetworkGrowthData /netNetworkGrowthData - 1)

Internal Pivot Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Internal Pivot Pattern indicator is a novel method allowing traders to detect pivots without excessive delay on the chart timeframe, by using the lower timeframe data from a candle.
It features custom colors for candles and zigzag lines to help identify trends. A dashboard showing the accuracy of the pattern is also included.
🔶 USAGE
We define a pivot as the occurrence where the middle candle over a specific interval (for example, the most recent 21 bars) is the highest (pivot high) or the lowest (pivot low). This method commonly allows for identifying swing highs/lows on a trader's chart; however, this pattern can only be identified after a specific number of bars has been formed, rendering this pattern useless for real-time detection of swing highs/lows.
This indicator uses a different approach, removing the need to wait for candles to form on the user chart; instead, we check the lower timeframe data of the current candle and evaluate for the presence of a pivot given the internal data, effectively providing pivot confirmation at the candle close.
An internal pivot low pattern is indicative of a potential uptrend, while an internal pivot high is indicative of a potential downtrend.
Candles are colored based on the last internal pivot detected, with blue candle colors indicating that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot low, indicating an uptrend, while an orange candle color indicates that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot high, indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Timeframes
The timeframe setting allows controlling the amount of lower timeframe data to consider for the internal pivot detection. This setting must be lower than the user's chart timeframe.
Using a timeframe significantly lower than the user chart timeframe will evaluate a larger amount of data for the pivot detection, making it less frequent, while using a timeframe closer to the chart timeframe can make the internal pivot detection more frequent, and more prone to false positives.
🔹 Accuracy Dashboard
The Accuracy Dashboard allows evaluating how accurate the detected patterns are as a percentage, with a pattern being judged accurate if subsequent patterns are detected higher or lower than a previous one.
For example, an internal pivot low is judged accurate if the following internal pivot is higher than it, indicating that higher highs have been made.
This dashboard can be useful to determine the timeframe setting to maximize the respective internal pivot accuracy.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Timeframe for detecting internal swings
Accuracy Dashboard: Enable or disable the Accuracy Dashboard.
🔹 Style
Internal Pivot High: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot high
Internal Pivot Low: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot low
Zig-Zag: Color of the zig-zag segments connecting each internal pivot
Candles: Enable candle coloring, with control over the color of the candles highlighting the detected trend
Multi Ranges Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Multi Ranges Volume Distribution tool allows traders to see the volume distribution by price for three different timeframes simultaneously. Each distribution can report the total amount of accumulated volume or the accumulated buy/sell volume separately.
Levels are displayed at the top and bottom of each timeframe's range, as well as the POC or level with the most volume.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays daily, weekly, and monthly volume distributions, highlighting the accumulated volume within each row.
Each distribution shows the volume at each price, as well as three lines: the top and bottom prices, and the price at which the most volume was traded.
The reported accumulated volume can be useful for highlighting which price areas are of the most interest to traders, with the specific timeframe specifying whether this interest is long-term or short-term.
🔹 Timeframes & Rows
Traders can adjust the timeframe and the number of rows for each volume distribution.
This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis of volume at the same price levels, or for obtaining detailed data within the same timeframe.
The chart above shows three volume distributions with the same monthly timeframe but a different number of rows; each is more detailed than the previous one.
🔹 Total vs Buy & Sell Volume
Traders can choose to display either the total volume or the buy and sell volumes.
As we can see on the above chart, the background of each row uses a gradient that is a function of the delta between the buy and sell volumes.
This is useful to determine which areas attract buyers and sellers.
🔶 SETTINGS
Volume Display: Select between total volume and buy and sell volume.
Distance between each box: Adjust the spacing of the volume distributions.
Period A: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period B: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period C: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Internal Candle Strength [LuxAlgo]The Internal Candle Strength tool allows traders to divide each chart bar into multiple rows of custom size and inspect the strength of the lower timeframes trends located within each row.
This tool effectively helps traders in identifying the power dynamic between bulls and bears within multiple areas within each bar, providing the ability to conduct LTF analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The strength displayed within each row ranges from 0% to 100%, with 0% being the most bearish and 100% being the most bullish.
Traders should be aware of the extreme probabilities located at the higher/lower end of the bars, as this can signal a change in strength and price direction.
Traders can select the lower timeframe to pull the data from or the row size in the scale of the chart. Selecting a lower timeframe will provide more data to evaluate an area's strength.
Do note that only a timeframe lower than the chart timeframe should be selected.
🔹 Row Size
Selecting a smaller row size will increase the number of rows per bar, allowing for a more detailed analysis. A lower value will also generally mean that less data will be considered when calculating the strength of a specific area.
As we can see on the chart above (all BTCUSD 30m), by selecting a different row size, traders can control how many rows are displayed per bar.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to calculate the candle strength.
Row Size: Size of each row on the chart scale, expressed as a fraction of the candle range.
Chandelier Exit Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Chandelier Exit Oscillator is a technical analysis tool that provides insights into potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and trend continuation patterns, helping traders pinpoint optimal exit points for both long and short positions.
By calculating trailing stop levels based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR), the oscillator visually indicates when prices move above or below these critical stop levels.
This script uniquely combines the Chandelier Exit indicator with an oscillator format, equipping traders with a versatile tool that leverages ATR-based levels for enhanced trend analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Displaying the Chandelier Exit as an oscillator allows traders to gauge trend momentum and strength, recognize potential reversals, and refine their market insights.
The Timeframe option specifies the timeframe used for calculations, enabling multi-timeframe analysis and allowing traders to align the indicator’s signals with broader or narrower market trends.
The Chandelier Exit Oscillator allows users to select between a Regular or Normalized oscillator type. The Regular option displays raw oscillator values, while the Normalized version smooths values and scales them from 0 to 100.
The Chandelier Exit Overlay allows users to enable or disable the display of Chandelier Exit levels directly on the price chart. When enabled, this overlay plots trailing stop levels for both long and short positions, helping traders visually monitor potential exit points and trend boundaries alongside the price action.
The Trend-based Bar Color feature allows users to color the bars on the price chart according to the current trend direction. This visual differentiation aids in quicker decision-making and provides a clearer understanding of market dynamics.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Chandelier Exit Settings
Timeframe: Sets the timeframe for calculations, allowing multi-timeframe analysis.
ATR Length: Defines the number of bars used for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), which helps in setting Chandelier Exit levels.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Chandelier Exit lines based on the ATR. Higher values make the indicator more conservative, while lower values make it more responsive.
🔹 Chandelier Exit Oscillator
Chandelier Exit Oscillator: Allows users to choose between a Regular or Normalized oscillator type. The Regular option displays raw oscillator values, while the Normalized version smooths values and scales them from 0 to 100.
Oscillator Smoothing: Controls the level of smoothing applied to the oscillator. Higher smoothing values filter out minor fluctuations.
🔹 Chandelier Exit Overlay
Chandelier Exit Overlay: Enables or disables the display of Chandelier Exit levels directly on the price chart.
Trend-based Bar Colors: Allows users to color bars based on trend direction, enhancing the visual analysis of market direction.

Expanded Cloud [LuxAlgo]The Expanded Cloud tool allows traders to identify and follow trends accurately. It is based on the well-known Donchian Channels, but with enhanced features.
It features a trailing cloud that expands with the price and a trading stats dashboard.
🔶 USAGE
The tool is super easy to use. Traders can identify bigger or smaller trends just by adjusting the length from the settings panel.
Trend identification is based on Donchian Channels. An uptrend is indicated when the cloud is located below the price, while a downtrend is indicated when the cloud is above it.
Dots signal the start of a new trend, and the width of the clouds identifies the strength of the price expansion. The wider the cloud, the bigger the move.
The expanded cloud, due to its visual, can also act as a trailing stop.
🔹 Trend Identification
As we can see in the chart above, different length values identify different trends on the same BTC daily chart. Larger values identify larger trends.
🔹 Cloud Expansion
From the settings panel, traders can adjust how the clouds expand based on the Expansion % parameter. It accepts values from 0 to 100, which controls how much of the expansion is taken into account. Higher values will make the cloud expand and get closer to the price faster.
When the cloud moves opposite to the direction of the indicated trend (e.g: the cloud decreases while being below the price), it is often indicative of the end of a retracement, and we can expect the price to move with the indicated trend.
The chart above shows the effect of different Expansion % values.
🔹 Dashboard
The trading statistics dashboard informs traders of key metrics derived from the tool. The following are notable:
PNL: Theoretical profit or loss from all trends identified by the tool in the right scale units.
EXPECT.: Expected value of each trade. It is derived from win rate and risk-to-reward metrics.
AVG: 1st TOUCH: The average number of bars from the beginning of a new trend until the price touches the cloud for the first time.

Bitcoin Power Law Clock [LuxAlgo]The Bitcoin Power Law Clock is a unique representation of Bitcoin prices proposed by famous Bitcoin analyst and modeler Giovanni Santostasi.
It displays a clock-like figure with the Bitcoin price and average lines as spirals, as well as the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hour marks as key points in the cycle.
🔶 USAGE
Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D., is the creator and discoverer of the Bitcoin Power Law Theory. He is passionate about Bitcoin and has 12 years of experience analyzing it and creating price models.
As we can see in the above chart, the tool is super intuitive. It displays a clock-like figure with the current Bitcoin price at 10:20 on a 12-hour scale.
This tool only works on the 1D INDEX:BTCUSD chart. The ticker and timeframe must be exact to ensure proper functionality.
According to the Bitcoin Power Law Theory, the key cycle points are marked at the extremes of the clock: 12, 3, 6, and 9 hours. According to the theory, the current Bitcoin prices are in a frenzied bull market on their way to the top of the cycle.
🔹 Enable/Disable Elements
All of the elements on the clock can be disabled. If you disable them all, only an empty space will remain.
The different charts above show various combinations. Traders can customize the tool to their needs.
🔹 Auto scale
The clock has an auto-scale feature that is enabled by default. Traders can adjust the size of the clock by disabling this feature and setting the size in the settings panel.
The image above shows different configurations of this feature.

Bitcoin Power Law [LuxAlgo]The Bitcoin Power Law tool is a representation of Bitcoin prices first proposed by Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D. It plots BTCUSD daily closes on a log10-log10 scale, and fits a linear regression channel to the data.
This channel helps traders visualise when the price is historically in a zone prone to tops or located within a discounted zone subject to future growth.
🔶 USAGE
Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D. originated the Bitcoin Power-Law Theory; this implementation places it directly on a TradingView chart. The white line shows the daily closing price, while the cyan line is the best-fit regression.
A channel is constructed from the linear fit root mean squared error (RMSE), we can observe how price has repeatedly oscillated between each channel areas through every bull-bear cycle.
Excursions into the upper channel area can be followed by price surges and finishing on a top, whereas price touching the lower channel area coincides with a cycle low.
Users can change the channel areas multipliers, helping capture moves more precisely depending on the intended usage.
This tool only works on the daily BTCUSD chart. Ticker and timeframe must match exactly for the calculations to remain valid.
🔹 Linear Scale
Users can toggle on a linear scale for the time axis, in order to obtain a higher resolution of the price, (this will affect the linear regression channel fit, making it look poorer).
🔶 DETAILS
One of the advantages of the Power Law Theory proposed by Giovanni Santostasi is its ability to explain multiple behaviors of Bitcoin. We describe some key points below.
🔹 Power-Law Overview
A power law has the form y = A·xⁿ , and Bitcoin’s key variables follow this pattern across many orders of magnitude. Empirically, price rises roughly with t⁶, hash-rate with t¹² and the number of active addresses with t³.
When we plot these on log-log axes they appear as straight lines, revealing a scale-invariant system whose behaviour repeats proportionally as it grows.
🔹 Feedback-Loop Dynamics
Growth begins with new users, whose presence pushes the price higher via a Metcalfe-style square-law. A richer price pool funds more mining hardware; the Difficulty Adjustment immediately raises the hash-rate requirement, keeping profit margins razor-thin.
A higher hash rate secures the network, which in turn attracts the next wave of users. Because risk and Difficulty act as braking forces, user adoption advances as a power of three in time rather than an unchecked S-curve. This circular causality repeats without end, producing the familiar boom-and-bust cadence around the long-term power-law channel.
🔹 Scale Invariance & Predictions
Scale invariance means that enlarging the timeline in log-log space leaves the trajectory unchanged.
The same geometric proportions that described the first dollar of value can therefore extend to a projected million-dollar bitcoin, provided no catastrophic break occurs. Institutional ETF inflows supply fresh capital but do not bend the underlying slope; only a persistent deviation from the line would falsify the current model.
🔹 Implications
The theory assigns scarcity no direct role; iterative feedback and the Difficulty Adjustment are sufficient to govern Bitcoin’s expansion. Long-term valuation should focus on position within the power-law channel, while bubbles—sharp departures above trend that later revert—are expected punctuations of an otherwise steady climb.
Beyond about 2040, disruptive technological shifts could alter the parameters, but for the next order of magnitude the present slope remains the simplest, most robust guide.
Bitcoin behaves less like a traditional asset and more like a self-organising digital organism whose value, security, and adoption co-evolve according to immutable power-law rules.

FVG Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The FVG Trailing Stop indicator tracks unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVG) data to produce a Trailing Stop indicator able to determine if the market is uptrending or downtrending easily.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Trailing Stop is intended to identify trend directions through its position relative to the closing price:
Bullish: Price is located above the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bearish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue upwards.
Bearish State: Price is located below the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bullish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue downwards.
The Trailing Stop originates from two extremities obtained from the average of respective unmitigated FVGs. The specific directional average is also displayed as a more transparent secondary line, however, the trailing stop is derived from this value and a new trend will not be detected until the opposite directional average is crossed.
Price reaching the Trailing Stop is caused by retracements and can lead to the following scenarios:
Outcome 1: The directional average is crossed next, indicating a new trend direction.
Outcome 2: The directional average is held as support or resistance, leading to a new impulse and a continuation of the trend.
🔹 Reset on Cross
While price crossing the Trailing Stop should be considered as a sign of an upcoming trend change; it is possible for the price to still evolve outside it.
As a solution, we have included the "Reset on Cross" feature, which (as the name suggests) hides and resets the Trailing Stop each time it is crossed, leading to a "Neutral" state.
This opens the opportunity for the Trailing Stop to be displayed again once the price moves again in the direction of the pre-established trend. A trader might use this to accumulate positions within a specific trend.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects the point of the FVG farthest from the current price when formed.
For Upwards FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Downwards FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed only to use the last input lookback of FVGs. If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the lookback is full, the oldest will be deleted.
From there, it uses a "trailing" logic only to move the Trailing Stop in one direction until the trailing stop resets or the direction flips.
The extremities used to calculate the Trailing Stop are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent-obtained averages.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVGs that the script will use.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the Trailing Stop to reduce erratic results.
Reset on Cross: When enabled, hide and reset the Trailing Stop until the price starts moving in the pre-established trend direction again.
Candle Breakout Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Candle Breakout Oscillator tool allows traders to identify the strength and weakness of the three main market states: bullish, bearish, and choppy.
Know who controls the market at any given moment with an oscillator display with values ranging from 0 to 100 for the three main plots and upper and lower thresholds of 80 and 20 by default.
🔶 USAGE
The Candle Breakout Oscillator represents the three main market states, with values ranging from 0 to 100. By default, the upper and lower thresholds are set at 80 and 20, and when a value exceeds these thresholds, a colored area is displayed for the trader's convenience.
This tool is based on pure price action breakouts. In this context, we understand a breakout as a close above the last candle's high or low, which is representative of market strength. All other close positions in relation to the last candle's limits are considered weakness.
So, when the bullish plot (in green) is at the top of the oscillator (values above 80), it means that the bullish breakouts (close below the last candle low) are at their maximum value over the calculation window, indicating an uptrend. The same interpretation can be made for the bearish plot (in red), indicating a downtrend when high.
On the other hand, weakness is indicated when values are below the lower threshold (20), indicating that breakouts are at their minimum over the last 100 candles. Below are some examples of the possible main interpretations:
There are three main things to look for in this oscillator:
Value reaches extreme
Value leaves extreme
Bullish/Bearish crossovers
As we can see on the chart, before the first crossover happens the bears come out of strength (top) and the bulls come out of weakness (bottom), then after the crossover the bulls reach strength (top) and the bears weakness (bottom), this process is repeated in reverse for the second crossover.
The other main feature of the oscillator is its ability to identify periods of sideways trends when the sideways values have upper readings above 80, and trending behavior when the sideways values have lower readings below 20. As we just saw in the case of bullish vs. bearish, sideways values signal a change in behavior when reaching or leaving the extremes of the oscillator.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Data Smoothing
The tool offers up to 10 different smoothing methods. In the chart above, we can see the raw data (smoothing: None) and the RMA, TEMA, or Hull moving averages.
🔹 Data Weighting
Users can add different weighting methods to the data. As we can see in the image above, users can choose between None, Volume, or Price (as in Price Delta for each breakout).
🔶 SETTINGS
Window: Execution window, 100 candles by default
🔹 Data
Smoothing Method: Choose between none or ten moving averages
Smoothing Length: Length for the moving average
Weighting Method: Choose between None, Volume, or Price
🔹 Thresholds
Top: 80 by default
Bottom: 20 by default
Long Wick Detector [LuxAlgo]The Long Wick Detector tool allows traders to identify candle wicks longer than a user-defined volatility threshold. This makes it useful for spotting zones with high supply or demand.
The tool displays mitigated and unmitigated levels and changes the color of the candles based on wick size and level breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays long mitigated and unmitigated candle wicks, with a maximum duration for an unmitigated long wick of 1,000 bars. What does all this mean?
🔹 Wick Threshold
Traders can adjust the volatility threshold to identify long wicks, with a higher threshold detecting more significant wicks.
As we can see in the image above, the tool detects more wicks with a smaller threshold compared to a higher one.
🔹 Level %
Traders can choose the percentage of the wick at which the level is located. By default, the level is displayed at the extremes of the wick. This parameter accepts values between 0 and 100.
100: extreme of the wick
50: middle of the wick
0: start of the wick
🔹 Max Duration
This parameter allows traders to specify the number of bars for the levels. The tool will only display mitigated or unmitigated levels up to the specified number of bars.
As shown in the above image, a longer duration allows more room for mitigation, displaying more levels.
🔹 Colored Candles
The tool allows for color customization using two parameters from the settings panel. The chart shows the different outputs.
The setting "Wick-Based Transparency" makes candles with smaller wicks less visible and candles with longer wicks more visible.
On the other hand, "Breakout-Based Color" changes the base color of the candles based on the mitigation of long wicks. When the price breaks above a detected top wick, the bullish color is used. When the price breaks below a detected bottom wick, the bearish color is used.
🔶 SETTINGS
Wick Threshold: The volatility threshold for wick detection. Use a smaller value to detect smaller wicks.
Level %: Placement of the plotted level relative to the wick.
Max Duration: The maximum duration in bars of mitigated wicks.
Mitigated Wicks: Enable or disable mitigated wicks.
🔹 Style
Wick Based Transparency: Make candles with smaller wicks more transparent and candles with longer wicks more solid.
Breakout Based Color: Change the base color based on wick mitigation.
Bullish & Bearish Colors
Market Breadth Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Market Breadth Toolkit allows traders to use up to 6 different market breadth measures on two different exchanges, for a total of 12 different views of the market.
This toolkit includes divergence detection and allows setting custom fixed levels for traders who want to experiment with them.
🔶 USAGE
The main idea behind Breadth is to measure the number of advancing and declining issues and/or volume by exchange to have an idea of the underlying strength of the whole exchange.
On the other hand, thrusts represent big impulses in the breadth, as it is described by technicians to be the start of a new bullish trend.
By default, the Toolkit is set to "Breadth Thrust Zweig", with divergences enabled.
We will now explain all the different breadth measures available in the toolkit.
🔹 Deemer Breakaway Momentum
The "Breakaway Momentum" is a concept related to market breadth introduced by legendary technical analyst Walter Deemer.
As stated on his website:
We coined the term "breakaway momentum" in the 1970's to describe this REALLY powerful upward momentum
and:
We now know that the stock market generates breakaway momentum when the 10-day total advances on the NYSE are greater than 1.97 times the 10-day total NYSE declines OR the 20-day total advances on the NYSE are greater than 1.72 times the 20-day total NYSE declines.
As we can see in the chart above, which shows both methods, momentum is identified when the ratio of advancing issues to declining issues is greater than 1.97 for the 10-day average or 1.72 for the 20-day average.
🔹 Zweig Breadth Tools
Legendary trader and author Marting Zweig, best known as the author of "Winning on Wall Street" and the creator of the Put/Call Ratio.
In this toolkit, we feature two of his other tools:
Breadth Thrust: Number of Advancing / (Number of Advancing + Number of Declining Stocks)
Market Thrust: (Number of Advancing × Advancing Volume) — (Number of Declining Stocks × Declining Volume)
As we can see on the above chart, the Breadth Thrust printed a new signal on April 24, 2025, which is a bullish signal on the daily chart that can last several months, considering the previous signals.
On the right side, we have the Market Thrust as the delta between advancing minus declining volume weighted.
🔹 Whaley Measures
Wayne Whaley received the 2010 Charles Dow Award from the CMT Association, as stated on their website: "In 1994, the CMT Association established the Charles H. Dow Award to recognize outstanding research in technical analysis."
We include two of the tools from this paper:
Advance Decline Thrust: Number of Advancing / (Number of Advancing + Number of Declining Stocks)
Up/Down Volume Thrust Advancing Volume / (Advancing Volume + Declining Volume)
The chart above shows Thrust signals at extreme readings as described in the paper.
🔹 Divergences
The divergence detector is enabled by default, traders can disable it and fine-tune the detection length in the settings panel.
🔹 Fixed Levels
Traders can adjust the Thrust detection thresholds in the settings panel.
In the image above, we can see the Deemer Breakaway Momentum 10 with the original threshold (below) and with the 3.0 threshold (above).
🔶 SETTINGS
Breadth: Choose between 6 different breadth thrust measurement methods.
Data: Choose between NYSE or NASDAQ exchanges.
Divergences: Enable/Disable divergences and select the length detection.
🔹 Levels
Use Fixed Levels: Enable/Disable Fixed Levels.
Top Level: Select the top-level threshold.
Bottom Level: Select bottom level threshold.
Levels Style: Choose between dashed, dotted, or solid style.
🔹 Style
Breadth: Select breadth colors
Divergence: Select divergence colors
Adaptive Momentum Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Adaptive Momentum Oscillator tool allows traders to measure the current relative momentum over a given period using the maximum delta in price.
It features a histogram with gradient color, divergences, and an adaptive moving average that allows traders to clearly see the smoothed trend direction.
🔶 USAGE
This unbounded oscillator has positive momentum when values are above 0 and negative momentum when values are below 0. The adaptive moving average is used as a minimum lag smoothing tool over the momentum histogram.
🔹 Signal Line
There are two main uses for the signal line drawn on the chart above.
Momentum crosses above or below the signal line: acceleration in momentum.
Signal line crosses the 0 value: positive or negative momentum.
🔹 Data Length
On the chart above, we can compare different length sizes and how the tool values change, allowing traders to get a shorter or longer-term view of current market strength.
🔹 Smoothing Length
In the previous figure, we can compare how different Smoothing Length values affect the oscillator output.
🔹 Divergences
The divergence detector is disabled by default. Traders can enable it and adjust the divergence length from the settings panel.
As we can see in the chart above, by changing the length of the divergences, traders can fine-tune their detection, a small number will detect smaller divergences, and use a larger number for larger divergences.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select data source, close price by default
Data Length: Select the length for data gathering
Smoothing Length: Select the length for data smoothing
Divergences: Enable/Disable divergences detection and length
NR4 & NR7 with Breakouts [LuxAlgo]NR4 & NR7 with Breakouts is a simple indicator that utilizes the NR4 and NR7 candle patterns to display candle ranges and signals from range breakouts.
🔶 USAGE
The Narrow Range Patterns are candle formations determined by the last candle having a narrower (high-low) range than the previous number. This indicator showcases the 2 most recognized Narrow Range Patterns, which are the 4 and 7 bar variants (NR4 and NR7).
These patterns, introduced by Toby Crabel, are thought to provide insight for potential market breakouts by identifying periods of low volatility indicated by a candle with a small range. This is due to the idea that markets often move from periods of low volatility (contraction) to high volatility (expansion), and the NR4 and NR7 patterns help spot these transitions.
By utilizing these patterns, traders are better able to anticipate and respond to market shifts for better decision-making and risk management.
NOTE: These patterns have traditionally been studied on the Daily Timeframe Chart. This indicator allows the user to select a timeframe to generate these patterns from. It is suggested to be mindful of this when considering these patterns.
In this indicator, on the bar after the pattern is detected, the Narrow Range Bar will be highlighted with a zone, and lines displaying the range will extend from it. These ranges are helpful for providing levels to set limit orders and for managing risk.
Users are able to adjust which pattern they want visualized on their chart, please note;
All NR7s are NR4s but not all NR4s are NR7s.
Because of this, you will notice that when selecting "NR4" to display, the colors will change, but the detected ranges will not change.
🔹 Signals
When a Narrow Range Bar is detected, the script will wait for the price to close outside of the Range, then a signal will fire indicating the direction of exit. The signals are produced from the last NR4 or NR7 and will have the potential to fire from that range until a new NR4 or NR7 is detected.
After a signal fires, the logic goes into a "reset" period where it will wait for the price to reach the Range Mean before firing another signal.
These signals can be anticipated by considering the underlying logic and watching price approach the range extremities, and can be improved by utilizing other market information for confluence.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Choose which timeframe to identify the NR4 and NR7 Pattern on. This must be Higher than the chart timeframe.
Pattern Type: Choose which (or all) patterns to display.
RSI Candlestick Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The RSI Candlestick Oscillator displays a traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) as candlesticks. This indicator references OHLC data to locate each candlestick point relative to the current RSI Value, leading to a more accurate representation of the Open, High, Low, and Close price of each candlestick in the context of RSI.
In addition to the candlestick display, Divergences are detected from the RSI candlestick highs and lows and can be displayed over price on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
Translating candlesticks into the RSI oscillator is not a new concept and has been attempted many times before. This indicator stands out because of the specific method used to determine the candlestick OHLC values. When compared to other RSI Candlestick indicators, you will find that this indicator clearly and definitively correlates better to the on-chart price action.
Traditionally, the RSI indicator is simply one running value based on (typically) the close price of the chart. By introducing high, low, and open values into the oscillator, we can better gauge the specific price action throughout the intrabar movements.
Interactions with the RSI levels can now take multiple forms, whether it be a full-bodied breakthrough or simply a wick test. Both can provide a new analysis of price action alongside RSI.
An example of wick interactions and full-bodied interactions can be seen below.
As a result of the candlestick display, divergences become simpler to spot. Since the candlesticks on the RSI closely resemble the candlesticks on the chart, when looking for divergence between the chart and RSI, it is more obvious when the RSI and price are diverging.
The divergences in this indicator not only show on the RSI oscillator, but also overlay on the price chart for clearer understanding.
🔹 Filtering Divergence
With the candlesticks generating high and low RSI values, we can better sense divergences from price, since these points are generally going to be more dramatic than the (close) RSI value.
This indicator displays each type of divergence:
Bullish Divergence
Bearish Divergence
Hidden Bullish Divergence
Hidden Bearish Divergence
From these, we get many less-than-useful indications, since every single divergence from price is not necessarily of great importance.
The Divergence Filter disregards any divergence detected that does not extend outside the RSI upper or lower values.
This does not replace good judgment, but this filter can be helpful in focusing attention towards the extremes of RSI for potential reversal spotting from divergence.
🔶 DETAILS
In order to get the desired results for a display that resembles price action while following RSI, we must scale. The scaling is the most important part of this indicator.
To summarize the process:
Identify a range on Price and RSI
Consider them as equal to create a scaling factor
Use the scaling factor to locate RSI's "Price equivalent" Upper, Lower, & Mid on the Chart
Use those prices (specifically the RSI Mid) to check how far each OHLC value lies from it
Use those differences to translate the price back to the RSI Oscillator, pinning the OHLC values at their relative location to our anchor (RSI Mid)
🔹 RSI Channel
To better understand, and for your convenience, the indicator includes the option to display the RSI Channel on the chart. This channel helps to visualize where the scaled RSI values are relative to price.
If you analyze the RSI channel, you are likely to notice that the price movement throughout the channel matches the same movement witnessed in the RSI Oscillator below. This makes sense since they are the exact same thing displayed on different scales.
🔹 Scaling the Open
While the scaling method used is important, and provides a very close view of the real price bar's relative locations on the RSI oscillator… It is designed for a single purpose.
The scaling does NOT make the price candles display perfectly on the RSI oscillator.
The largest place where this is noticeable is with the opening of each candle.
For this reason, we have included a setting that modifies the opening of each RSI candle to be more accurate to the chart's price candles.
This setting positions the current bar's opening RSI candlestick value accurately relative to the price's open location to the previous closing price. As seen below.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 RSI Candles
RSI Length: Sets the Length for the RSI Oscillator.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Sets the Overbought and Oversold levels for the RSI Oscillator.
Scale Open for Chart Accuracy: As described above, scales the open of each candlestick bar to more accurately portray the chart candlesticks.
🔹 Divergence
Show on Chart: Choose to display divergence line on the chart as well as on the Oscillator.
Divergence Length: Sets the pivot width for divergence detection. Normal Fractal Pivot Detection is used.

Statistical Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The Statistical Trailing Stop tool offers traders a way to lock in profits in trending markets with four statistical levels based on the log-normal distribution of volatility.
The indicator also features a dashboard with statistics of all detected signals.
🔶 USAGE
The tool works out of the box, traders can adjust the data used with two parameters: data & distribution length.
By default, the tool takes volatility measures of groups of 10 candles, and statistical measures of the last 100 of these groups then traders can adjust the base level to use as trailing, the larger the level, the more resistant the tool will be to moves against the trend.
🔹 Base Levels
Traders can choose up to 4 different levels of trailing, all based on the statistical distribution of volatility.
As we can see in the chart above, each higher level is more resistant to market movements, so level 0 is the most reactive and level 3 the least.
It is up to the trader to determine the best level for each underlying, time frame and market conditions.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool provides a dashboard with the statistics of all trades, making it very easy to assess the performance of the parameters used for any given market.
As we can see on the chart, all Daily BTC signals with default parameters but different base levels, level 2 is the best performing of all four, giving a positive expectation of $2435 per trade, taking into account all long and short trades.
Of note are the long trades with a win rate of 76.47% and a risk-to-reward of 3.34, giving a positive expectation of $4839 per trade, with winners having an average duration of 210 days and losers 32 days.
This, compared to short trades with negative expectation, speaks to the uptrend bias of this particular market.
🔶 SETTINGS

Probability Grid [LuxAlgo]The Probability Grid tool allows traders to see the probability of where and when the next reversal would occur, it displays a 10x10 grid and/or dashboard with the probability of the next reversal occurring beyond each cell or within each cell.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays deciles (percentiles from 0 to 90), users can enable, disable and modify each percentile, but two of them must always be enabled or the tool will display an error message alerting of it.
The use of the tool is quite simple, as shown in the chart above, the further the price moves on the grid, the higher the probability of a reversal.
In this case, the reversal took place on the cell with a probability of 9%, which means that there is a probability of 91% within the square defined by the last reversal and this cell.
🔹 Grid vs Dashboard
The tool can display a grid starting from the last reversal and/or a dashboard at three predefined locations, as shown in the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Raw Data vs Normalized Data
By default the tool displays the normalized data, this means that instead of using the raw data (price delta between reversals) it uses the returns between each reversal, this is useful to make an apples to apples comparison of all the data in the dataset.
This can be seen in the left side of the chart above (BTCUSD Daily chart) where normalize data is disabled, the percentiles from 0 to 40 overlap and are indistinguishable from each other because the tool uses the raw price delta over the entire bitcoin history, with normalize data enabled as we can see in the right side of the chart we can have a fair comparison of the data over the entire history.
🔹 Probability Beyond or Within Each Cell
Two different probability modes are available, the default mode is Probability Beyond Each Cell, the number displayed in each cell is the probability of the next reversal to be located in the area beyond the cell, for example, if the cell displays 20%, it means that in the area formed by the square starting from the last reversal and ending at the cell, there is an 80% probability and outside that square there is a 20% probability for the location of the next reversal.
The second probability mode is the probability within each cell, this outlines the chance that the next reversal will be within the cell, as we can see on the right chart above, when using deciles as percentiles (default settings), each cell has the same 1% probability for the 10x10 grid.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing
Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations

Trendline Breakout Navigator [LuxAlgo]The Trendline Breakout Navigator indicator shows three trendlines, representing trends of different significance between Swing Points.
Dots highlight a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) that pierces through the Trendline without the closing price breaking the Trendline.
A bar color and background color option is included, which offers insights into the price against the trendlines.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines (TL) are drawn, starting as a horizontal line from a Swing Point.
When an HL (in the case of a bullish TL) or an LH (bearish TL) is found, this Swing Point is connected to the first Swing Point. In both cases, the TL can be optimized when one or more historical close prices breach the TL (see DETAILS).
A solid-styled long-term trendline represents the overall market direction, while a dashed-styled medium-term trendline captures medium-term movements within the long-term trend. Finally, a dotted-styled short-term trendline tracks short-term fluctuations.
🔹 Swing Points vs. Trend
A "Higher High" (HH) or "Lower Low" (LL) will initialize a new trendline, respectively, starting from the previous "Swing Low" or Swing High".
To spot the trend shift, "HH/LL" labels and an optional background color are included. They can be enabled/disabled or set at "Long, Medium, or Short" term TL (Settings—"MS", "HH/LL" and "Background Color").
These features are linked to one Trendline of choice only.
Where the "HH/LL" labels can show a potential trend shift, the background color is:
Green from the moment the close price breaks above a bearish trendline or when an HH occurs
Red from the moment the close price breaks below a bullish trendline or when an LL occurs
🔹 Bar Color
The bar color will depend on the location of the closing price against the three trendlines. When a trendline is unavailable (for example, if the close price breaks the TL and there is no HH/LL), the last known trendline value will be considered.
All three trendlines influence the bar color.
If the close price is above the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of green, darker when the close price is below the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
On the other hand, when the close price is below the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of red, which becomes darker when the close price is above the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
To keep the above example simple, only the "Long Term" TL is considered. The white line (not included in the script) resembles the actual value of the TL at each bar, where you can see the effect on the bar color.
Combined with the trendlines and dots, the bar color can provide extra depth and insights into the underlying trends.
🔹 Tested Trendlines
If a new HL/LH pierces the Trendline without the close price breaking the Trendline, the Trendline will be updated.
The exact location where the price exceeded the Trendline is visualized by a dot, colored blue on a bullish trendline and orange when bearish.
These dots can be indicative of a potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Higher TimeFrame Option
The "Period" setting enables users to visualize higher-timeframe trendlines as long as the line length doesn't exceed 5000 bars.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new trendline is drawn, the script first draws a preliminary line and then checks whether a historical close price exceeded this line above (in the case of a bearish TL) or below (in a bullish case).
Subsequently, the most valid point in between is chosen as the starting point of the Trendline.
🔶 SETTINGS
