Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR BandsThe Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR Bands indicator is a dual-equilibrium concept that fuses price-range structure and traded-volume flow into one continuously updating hybrid model. Traditional VWAPs reset each session and reflect where trading occurred by volume, while midpoints used here reveal where price has structurally balanced between extremes. This script merges both ideas into a cohesive, dynamic system. The Rolling Price Midpoint (50 % of range) represents the structural fair-value line, calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected window. The Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Window) tracks the flow-based fair-value line by weighting each bar’s typical price by its volume. Together, these components form the Hybrid Equilibrium — the adaptive center of gravity that shifts as price and volume evolve. Surrounding this equilibrium, ATR Bands at ± 2.226 ATR and ± 5.382 ATR define volatility envelopes that expand and contract with market energy. The result is a living cloud that breathes with the market: compressing during phases of balance and widening during impulsive movements, offering traders a clear visual framework for understanding equilibrium, volatility, and directional bias in real time.
➖
⚙️ Auto-Preset System
The Auto-Preset System intelligently adjusts lookback windows for both the Price Midpoint and VWAP calculations according to the active chart timeframe.
This ensures that the indicator automatically adapts to any trading style — from scalping on 1-minute charts to swing trading on daily or weekly charts — without manual tuning.
🔹 How It Works
When Auto-Preset mode is enabled, the script dynamically selects the most effective lookback lengths for each timeframe.
These presets are optimized to balance responsiveness and stability, maintaining consistent real-world coverage (e.g., the same approximate duration of price data) across all intervals.
📊 Preset Mapping Table
| Chart Timeframe | Price Midpoint Lookback | VWAP Lookback |
|:----------------:|:-----------------------:|:--------------:|
| 1–3m | 13 bars | 21 bars
| 5–10m | 21 bars | 34 bars
| 15–30m | 34 bars | 55 bars
| 1–2 hr | 55 bars | 89 bars
| 4 hr-1D | 89 bars | 144 bars
| 1W | 144 bars | 233 bars
| 1M | 233 bars | 377 bars
⚡ Notes & Customization
- Manual Override: Turn off Auto-Preset Mode to specify your own custom lookback lengths.
- Consistency Across Scales: These adaptive values keep the indicator visually coherent when switching between timeframes — avoiding distortions that can occur with static lengths.
- Practical Benefit: Traders can maintain a single chart layout that self-tunes seamlessly, removing the need to manually recalibrate settings when shifting from short-term to long-term analysis.
In short, the Auto-Preset System is designed to make this hybrid equilibrium tool timeframe-aware — automatically scaling its logic so that the cloud behaves consistently, regardless of chart resolution.

🌐 Hybrid Equilibrium Envelope
The core hybrid midpoint acts as the mean of structural (price) and volumetric (VWAP) balance.
ATR-based bands project natural expansion zones:
🔸+2.226 / –2.226 ATR → inner equilibrium (controlled trend)
*🔸+5.382 / –5.382 ATR → outer volatility extension (over-stretch / reversion zones)
Color-coded fills show regime strength:
* 🟧 Upper Outer (+5.382) – strong bullish expansion
* 🟩 Upper Inner (+2.226) – trending equilibrium
* 🔴 Lower Inner (–2.226) – mild bearish control
* 🟣 Lower Outer (–5.382) – volatility exhaustion
➖
🧭 Higher-Timeframe Framework
Two macro anchors — Price length of 144 and VWAP length of 233 — outline higher-timeframe bias zones. These help confirm when local momentum aligns with (or fades against) long-term structure.
Labels on the right show active lookback values for quick readout:
`$(13) V(21)` → current rolling pair
`$144 / V233` → macro anchors

🧩 Chart Examples
**AMD 15m (Equilibrium Expansion)**
Price steadily rides above the hybrid midpoint as teal and orange (bullish) ATR zones widen, confirming a phase of controlled bullish volatility and healthy trend expansion.
BTCUSD 1m (Volatility Compression)
Bitcoin coils tightly inside the teal-to-maroon equilibrium bands before breaking out.
The hybrid midpoint flattens and ATR envelopes contract, signaling a state of balance before volatility expansion.
ETHUSD 15m (Transition from Compression → Impulse)
Ethereum transitions from purple-zone compression into a clear upper-band expansion.
The hybrid midpoint breaks above the macro VWAP 233, confirming the shift from equilibrium to directional momentum.
SOFI 1m (Micro Bias Reversal)
SOFI’s intraday structure flips as price reclaims the hybrid midpoint.
The macro VWAP 233 flattens, signaling a transition from oversold lower bands back toward equilibrium and early trend recovery.

Base Detector Pro [AletheiaTradeLab]This custom Trading View indicator combines William O’Neal “Base” patterns with several complementary tools—David Ryan’s ANT indicator, key pivot‐based price levels, index and earnings lines, relative strength (RS) line, and moving averages—to help you pinpoint base formations and validate whether each one merits a trade.
1. Bases (William O'Neal)
A “base” is simply a period of price consolidation following a significant run-up. During this phase, a stock moves mostly sideways within a defined trading range, forming clear support and resistance lines.
Key Criteria for a Valid Base
- Prior Uptrend
Before a base begins, the stock should already have a healthy advance—typically at least a 30% gain.
- Shapes of Bases
Bases can form in several distinct geometric patterns, each signaling a different kind of consolidation and potential breakout:
Flat Base
Shape : A horizontal rectangle bounded by nearly parallel support (bottom) and resistance (top) trendlines.
Minimum Length : 5 weeks
Maximum Length : 65 weeks
Depth : < 15%
Pivot Point : Left-side high of base
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
Cup Base
Shape : A smooth, rounded “U” curve.
Minimum Length : 6 weeks
Maximum Length : 65 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : Left-side high of base
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
Sauce Base
Shape : A very gradual, broad “U” curve, often taking more length than cup bases.
Minimum Length : 6 weeks
Maximum Length : 65 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : Left-side high of base
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
Cup with Handle Base
Shape : A “U”‐shaped cup followed by a smaller downward-sloping flag or channel (the handle).
Minimum Length : 6 weeks
Maximum Length : 65 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : High of the handle
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
Saucer with Handle Base
Shape : Similar to cup with handle, but cup looks like the saucer base.
Minimum Length : 6 weeks
Maximum Length : 65 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : High of the handle
i.ibb.co
Ascending Base
Shape : An upward-sloping channel or wedge with 3 pullbacks. Each pullback low should be higher than the previous one. It needs around 20% increase from a base to the other.
Minimum Length : 8 weeks
Maximum Length : 16 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : Left-side high of third base
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
Consolidation Base
Shape : Similar to flat base, but wider and fails to form any of the above bases.
Minimum Length : 8 weeks
Maximum Length : 16 weeks
Minimum Depth : 8%
Maximum Depth : 50%
Pivot Point : Left-side high of base
i.ibb.co i.ibb.co
- Base Stages
Once a stock has completed its initial 30% run-up and formed its first base, that pattern is labeled Stage 1.
After a breakout from Stage N, the stock must rally at least 20% above the Stage N pivot (the base’s resistance point). If it does, the next valid base becomes Stage N + 1.
When a breakout fails to advance at least 20% a base on base forms. This is considered an extension for the current base stage, and a letter is assigned after the stage number.
When a breakout fails and the price undercuts the low for the previous base, the base stages reset, and a rally of 30% will be needed to form a new stage 1 base.
Note that for IPO stocks, a 30% increase is not required to form the first base. As soon as it meets any of the shape of any of the available bases, it will be drawn.
- Base statistics
To help you determine how healthy is a base, some statistics are available when you hover on the small dot shown above the high-left side of each base.
i.ibb.co
Base : The specific pattern type (Flat, Cup, Sauce, etc.).
Stage : The stage number of the base (1, 2, 3 …) and, in parentheses, how many distinct bases have formed since the very first base (including base-on-base like 1a, 1b, etc.).
Pivot : The resistance level that defines the top of the base. A close above this price often signals a valid breakout and a potential entry point.
Length : The number of bars (days on a daily chart; weeks on a weekly chart) between the start of the base and the bar immediately before breakout. (The initial bar and the breakout bar themselves are not counted.)
Depth : How far, in percentage terms, the low of the base has fallen below its left-side high.
Prior Uptrend : The percent gain from the pivot of the previous base up to the start of the current base.
Blue/Red Count : The number of up days (Blue) and down days (Red) during the base where volume was above the 50-period moving average.
Price % : The percent change from the close at the end of the base to the close at the breakout bar.
Volume % : The percent difference between the volume on the breakout bar and the 50-period average volume at the end of the base.
2. ANT Indicator (David Ryan)
The ANT indicator, developed by David Ryan, is a momentum-based signal used to identify high-potential breakout candidates during a stock’s run-up phase. It complements the base patterns by flagging moments of unusually strong price and volume activity within an uptrend, helping confirm emerging strength before or during a base formation.
i.ibb.co
3. Key Price Levels (Pivots)
Plots recent pivot-based support and resistance levels.
i.ibb.co
4. Index Line Overlay
Overlays a chosen index (e.g. SPX) on the top portion of the chart to compare relative performance.
i.ibb.co
5. Relative Strength (RS) Line
Plots the price ratio of the symbol vs. an index (e.g. SPX) to identify outperformance.
i.ibb.co
6. Moving Averages (SMA & RS-MA)
Allows up to four simple (or exponential) moving averages on price (daily/weekly) and three on the RS line.
7. Earnings Line & EPS Change
Marks earnings events on daily/weekly charts and optionally plots YoY EPS change in a lower portion of the chart. The earnings line also shows a projection to estimated earnings. To maintain alignment with the price chart, the line and YoY EPS data are limited to the most recent 28 quarters on weekly charts and 8 quarters on daily charts. For analyzing older data, you can use the replay feature.
i.ibb.co
8. Bars
Since Trading View displays very thin bars when zoomed out, I added 2-pixel-wide vertical lines over the bars to make them easier to see.
9. Dark Theme
I added this for a quick workaround to adapt colors for dark theme. Enabling this overrides any custom settings. Uncheck to customize colors.

Potential Upcoming Trend ToolThis Script has the specific use of identifying when and how a new trend may start to take form, rather than focusing on how a trend has already formed on a longer term basis.
This Script is useful on it's own and not in conjunction with another. It works by taking on the most recent price data rather than a long term historical string.
It differs from standard trend following indicators because it's use is far less historical, and more present. It requires less pivot points than normal to be validated as a strong trend.
It works by taking local pivot points and fractals to form its parallel basis. The Trend lines will continually move as more recent price action data appears and the the channel will get thinner, until it is clear a trend has arrived and consolidated.
The idea really is to see a constantly evolving picture of a sudden change in movement, allowing you to have an earlier eye on what is potentially to come.
The faint mid-point line gives a reasonable reading of where you would find yourself halfway within a new trend and will also move inline with the shown trendlines.
This allows you to easily track when sentiment and therefore trends are about to change. It's much more useful on lower timeframes because they will often give the first indication something is changing.
Colours are fully customisable.
Farley's Accumulation-Distribution Accelerator (ADA)Farley's ADA (From The Master Swing Trader)
What it is :
ADA is designed to track volume oscillations in the market and reduce the impact of shock events.
It observes the supply-demand dynamics within the market, which can trigger natural levels of price reversals.
How It Works
Volume and Price Relationship: ADA measures the lag between price and volume movements. It highlights when volume leads or lags behind price changes, helping traders identify potential reversals or trends.
Signal Generation: ADA can generate faster and cleaner signals compared to traditional indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV).
Usage
Support and Resistance: ADA formations can help identify support and resistance levels and trendlines.
detect natural levels where price reversals might occur.
Trend Identification: Look for significant divergences between ADA and price action to identify potential trend reversals.
Volume Analysis: Use ADA to anticipate pauses in price movements when volume leads, and expect dynamic trends when ADA significantly moves ahead of price action.
Power Trends [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Power Trends Indicator is a versatile trading toolkit that offers unique insight into key price levels in the market. This script uses currently relevant price-action information to automatically detect pivot levels and use them to create powerful trendlines.
The aim of this script is to improve the trading experience of users by offering a versatile toolkit that can be used in a wide variety of trading strategies to help simplify the complexities of the market.
█ USAGE
The Power Trends Indicator will automatically identify pivot points in real-time using recent price-action information to ensure that all points being identified are relevant. Using these pivot points, the script then draws powerful trend lines that can be used as levels of resistance and support.
To ensure that only the most relevant information is being presented, only the most recent trend lines will be displayed on the user’s charts. As new trend lines are being drawn, older trend lines will become thinner so that traders can identify the most relevant lines at a glance.
The price of the most recent high and low pivot points will also be displayed on the chart and can be used as further levels of resistance and support.
When a recent pivot level is broken, it will be identified as a Break of Structure. This signifies that there may have been a change in market strength.
The Power Trends Indicator also supports multiple time frame mapping, allowing you to mirror the trend lines that would be drawn on higher time frame charts onto lower time frame charts. This feature allows traders to be aware of the market structure of multiple charts at a glance from a single chart.
When mirroring some higher time frame trend lines, lines may appear to not align properly with current time frame bars. This is done intentionally to ensure lines are being drawn accurately to their position on the higher time frame charts.

Universal RPPI Equities [SS Premium]Introducing the RPPI for Equities indicator.
Like its companion the RPPI for futures and indices, the RPPI for Equities is a compendium indicator of sorts, containing multiple different math based models for various equities tickers.
However, unlike the RPPI for futures and indices, the RPI for equities also has the ability to autogenerate a model that is tailored to the volatility of equities, if a base model does not exist within its compendium.
How Does it work and what does it do?
The RPPI contains multiple models that have been developed and corrected by myself, an example of which can be visualized in the above chart for the NYSE:DIS ticker. These models aim to forecast intraday, weekly and monthly price movements and help you to ascertain target prices that are realistic and achievable within your desired timeframe.
Which timeframes are availabe?
The indicator supports the following timeframes:
1. Daily
2. Weekly
3. Monthly
4. 3 Hour
5. 3 Month
What are some of the features?
So in addition to forecasting on the various timeframes, there are some innate functionalities and capabilities that have been programmed into the RPPI, in the same way they have been programmed into the futures version. These include:
1. Displaying Range Accumulation Zones & Standard Deviation
2. Performing autoregression assessments to help ascertain likely trajectory
3. Running Probability assessments on all timeframes
4. Displaying model performance via the demographic function.
While these features may not be new to you, I will go over them briefly below.
Displaying Range Accumulation Zones:
In the above example, you can see NVDA on the daily timeframe. The accumulation zones are displayed in blue and as a percentage value. We can see that the majority of the accumulation rested to the upside.
The prevailing theory with price accumulation is a ticker will frequently retrace and revisit areas of high accumulation, as these represent areas of demand and high volume.
Performing Autoregression Assessment
When you toggle on the autoregression assessment, you will get 3, trendlines. These represent the projected trajectory of the high, low and close. You can set your forecast length out as long or as short as you want.
The indicator will auto-select the best length and plot out the hypothesized trajectory based on the strongest identified trend.
Running Probabilities
To run probabilities, it is important to remember to be on the timeframe you wish to run the probabilities for. So, if you wish to run them on the daily timeframe, make sure your chart is on the daily and the indicator is set to "Daily" timeframe.
Once toggled on, you will get an assessment that looks like this:
This will display a breakdown of all previous instances of similar setups, and it will show you how many times each target were hit and give you an overall assessment of the likely sentiment, as well as the backtest results.
There are two types of probability options, "Momentum" and "Z-Score". The momentum is based on the underlying technicals, such as RSI and Stochastics; whereas, z-score is an assessment of standard deviation. If you want to know which one is "Best", you simply need look at the backtest results.
Displaying Model Performance:
To display model performance, go into the settings menu and select "Demographic Data".
As with the probabilities, please make sure you are set to the appropriate chart timeframe. If you are not, you will get an error message telling you to modify your timeframe.
This will break down how many times a ticker closes above or below its range, how many times the retracement target (GT) is hit and how many times, on average, a ticker hits the second high or second low target. This gives you some very useful stats to help you with your assessment (i.e. the TSLA example shows that, on the weekly timeframe, closing the week outside of the range only happens 11% of the time, so if we make a run outside of the range on a Monday or Tuesday, you know a good setup could be to short it and vice versa to the downside).
Warnings and Messages
This is not so much a feature of the indicator but just a reference to be aware of. In the settings menu, there is an option to "Show Warnings". This will prompt you with any warnings that exist on any ticker model. For example, if we look at the warnings for TSLA:
And AAPL:
Not all tickers have warnings, but the ones that you need to be aware of are programmed into the indicator for your reference.
Which models does this contain?
This contains over 30 different stock models, from LMT, BA, CSCO and GE to TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, GOOG, PCAR, META, ADBE and the list goes on.
As stated previously, it does have the ability to autofit.
WARNING
As a general warning, do not use this indicator to autofit to indices or futures. The parameters are set to what I find works best for equities and heightened volatility, it will not work great for indices. Please refer to other resources, such as the Universal Forecaster for such things as the equities RPPI will provide unreliable results if you are trying to cross use between different types of unintended equities (i.e. CFDs, Futures or Indicies)!

Fibonacci internal Break of Range PinescriptlabsThe uniqueness of this script lies in the synergy and dynamic interaction resulting from the advanced combination of key elements of technical analysis in the way it strategically merges Fibonacci Levels with the Linear Regression Channel and the internal price structure, creating a highly synergistic market analysis system.
The Linear Regression Channel, drawn from price regression and its standard deviation over a defined number of bars, offers a graphical representation of the prevailing market trend. The combination of this channel with Fibonacci Levels is deliberate and critical: the levels serve as additional filters to validate range breakouts within the channel, and vice versa, channel breakouts enhance the importance of Fibonacci levels by adjusting to the market context, represented by the specific length and displacement within the chart.
Fibonacci levels are updated with each new bar, and the detection of Break of Range (BoR) is integrated with the Fibonacci level plot to highlight significant breakout points. A unique aspect of this script is the way breakouts are identified not only by the price crossing certain Fibonacci levels but also by volume context and candlestick patterns, such as Engulfing patterns, which signal potential changes in market trends.
This interaction between the Linear Regression Channel and Fibonacci Levels, for example, a bullish price breakout above the upper channel boundary simultaneously crossing a significant Fibonacci level, suggests not only a possible continuation of the uptrend but also a strong support level established. Similarly, a bearish price breakout below the lower channel boundary, coinciding with a Fibonacci level, may signal a trend reversal confirmation and a new resistance level.
This script delves further into signal convergence, where the interaction between Break of Range and Fibonacci levels marks bullish and bearish breakouts, respectively, and when these signals coincide with breakouts of any Fibonacci level, they provide cross-confirmation that increases confidence in the generated signal. "BoR+Fib🔼" and "BoR+Fib🔽."
Additionally, the script introduces an innovative implementation of the Linear Regression Channel, which uses a customizable period and standard deviation to plot upper and lower trendlines. This approach allows traders to anticipate potential re-entry points after a breakout, as prices often retest the channel edges, providing low and high entry confirmation opportunities.
A differentiating technical aspect is the conditional logic implemented for bullish and bearish trend signal confirmation. For example, the script calibrates signals based on the intersection of price action with critical Fibonacci levels and confirmed candlestick patterns, enhancing signal reliability compared to using these indicators in isolation.
Key Features:
1. Dynamic calculation of Fibonacci levels.
2. Detection of internal price range breakouts (Break of Range).
3. Linear Regression Channel.
4. Detection of candlestick patterns (Engulfing Patterns).
Dynamic Fibonacci Level Calculation and Internal Range Breakout Detection (Break of Range):
The fusion of Fibonacci levels with the detection of internal range breakouts is crucial because it allows for precise identification of market turning points. Fibonacci levels act as initial filters, indicating potential support and resistance zones. When the price crosses a key Fibonacci level, especially in conjunction with an internal range breakout, the resulting signal is stronger and more reliable. This confluence significantly increases the probability of sustainable price movement.
Broken:
Function: The code identifies breakouts when the price crosses a key Fibonacci level (0%, 100%). A breakout is significant if the price crosses and holds beyond these levels.
Interaction: Breakouts validate Fibonacci levels. For example, a breakout above the 0% Fibonacci level can confirm an uptrend.
Structure Change:
Function: In the code, Structure Change can be interpreted through the detection of pivot patterns and price structure change signals, which we identify as Break of Range.
Interaction: This component acts as confirmation for range breakouts and Fibonacci levels. For example, if a range breakout is followed by a change in price structure (such as the formation of a new higher high), it strengthens the validity of the range breakout signal.
"BoR+Fib🔽": Indicates a bearish range breakout that has also crossed a Fibonacci level downward. This can be interpreted as a sell signal or a bearish trend indication.
"BoR+Fib🔼": Represents a bullish range breakout that has also crossed a Fibonacci level upward. It can be interpreted as a buy signal or a bullish trend indication.
Linear Regression Channel:
Function: The Linear Regression Channel is calculated and drawn using a defined number of bars to establish the overall market trend. Calculations involve summing and averaging closing prices and their products with the time index to calculate the regression line and its standard deviation. The script uses this channel to contextualize Fibonacci signals and range breakouts, with breakouts occurring in the direction of the channel's trend.
Interaction: Provides context to Fibonacci signals and range breakouts. For example, if a range breakout occurs in the same direction as indicated by the Linear Regression Channel, this adds credibility to the signal.
Integration Benefit: The Linear Regression Channel provides an overall trend context. When a range breakout signal and a Fibonacci level coincide within the direction indicated by the channel, the signal's validity is strengthened.
Signal Convergence: An ideal scenario occurs when all elements converge. For example, a good entry point could be when the price experiences a range breakout from a significant Fibonacci level, there is a change in price structure in the same direction, and all of this aligns with the trend indicated by the Linear Regression Channel.
Dynamic Volatility Visualization: Adjusts the width of the Linear Regression Channel based on market volatility.
Validation and Entry Confirmation after Linear Regression Channel Breakout:
Breakout Validation: The Linear Regression Channel breakout is validated not only by price crossing but also by an increase in volume, suggesting a significant breakout rather than a temporary fluctuation.
Entry Confirmation ('Low and High Entry Confirmation'):
Confirmation Bars: A specific number of bars (configurable entry) closing outside the channel are required to confirm an entry. This reduces the risk of false signals.
Channel Re-Test: After the breakout, the price often retests the channel's edge. An entry is confirmed if the price bounces from this area, validating the initial breakout.
Auxiliary Indicators: Oscillators or momentum indicators are used to confirm trend strength after the breakout.
Candlestick Pattern Detection (Engulfing Patterns):
Engulfing Pattern Identification: bullishEngulfing is activated in a bullish pattern with a previous bearish trend and a specific bullish candle. bearishEngulfing is activated in a bearish pattern with a previous bullish trend and a specific bearish candle.
Special Trend Signals:
Bullish signals are displayed as blue circles with "⬆️," while bearish signals are displayed as red circles with "⬇️."
Bullish Signals: Indicate that the price has crossed above certain Fibonacci levels, and the current trend is considered bullish, as the most recent closing price is higher than the closing price of a specific bar in the past.
Bearish Signals: Indicate that the price has crossed below certain Fibonacci levels, and the current trend is considered bearish, as the most recent closing price is lower than the closing price of a specific bar in the past.

La singularidad de este script radica en la sinergia y la interacción dinámica que resulta de la combinación avanzada de elementos clave del análisis técnico en la forma en que fusiona estratégicamente los Niveles de Fibonacci con el Canal de Regresión Lineal y la estructura interna del precio creando un sistema de análisis de mercado altamente sinérgico.
El Canal de Regresión Lineal, dibujado a partir de la regresión de precios y su desviación estándar sobre un número definido de barras, ofrece una representación gráfica de la tendencia predominante del mercado. La combinación de este canal con los Niveles de Fibonacci es deliberada y crítica: los niveles sirven como filtros adicionales para validar las rupturas de rango dentro del canal, y viceversa, las rupturas del canal potencian la importancia de los niveles de Fibonacci ajustándose al contexto del mercado, representado por la longitud y desplazamiento específicos dentro del gráfico.
Los niveles de Fibonacci se actualizan con cada nueva barra, La detección de rupturas de rango (Break of Range) se integra con la trama de niveles de Fibonacci para destacar los puntos de ruptura significativos. Un enfoque único de este script es la manera en que las rupturas no solo se identifican por el cruce de precios de ciertos niveles de Fibonacci sino también por el contexto de volumen y patrones de velas, como los patrones Engulfing, que señalan cambios potenciales en la tendencia del mercado.
Esta interacción entre el Canal de Regresión Lineal y los Niveles de Fibonacci Por ejemplo: una ruptura alcista del precio a través del límite superior del canal al mismo tiempo que cruza un nivel de Fibonacci significativo sugiere no solo una posible continuación de la tendencia alcista sino también un fuerte nivel de soporte establecido. Similarmente, una ruptura bajista del precio a través del límite inferior del canal, coincidiendo con un nivel de Fibonacci, puede señalar una confirmación de cambio de tendencia y un nuevo nivel de resistencia.
Este script profundiza aún más en la confluencia de señales, donde la interacción entre Break of Range y los niveles de Fibonacci marcan rupturas alcistas y bajistas respectivamente, y cuando estas señales coinciden con rupturas del de cualquier nivel de Fibonacci, proporcionan una confirmación cruzada que aumenta la confianza en la señal generada. "BoR+Fib🔼" y "BoR+Fib🔽"
Además, el script presenta una innovadora implementación de Canal de Regresión Lineal, que utiliza un periodo personalizable y una desviación estándar para trazar las líneas de tendencia superior e inferior. Este enfoque permite a los traders anticipar posibles puntos de reentrada después de una ruptura, con el precio a menudo retestando los bordes del canal, proporcionando así oportunidades de confirmación de entrada baja y alta.
Un aspecto técnico diferenciador es la lógica condicional implementada para la confirmación de señales de tendencia alcista y bajista. Por ejemplo, el script calibra señales basadas en la intersección de la acción del precio con los niveles críticos de Fibonacci y los patrones de velas confirmados, mejorando la confiabilidad de las señales en comparación con el uso de estos indicadores de forma aislada.
Características Principales:
1. Cálculo dinámico de niveles de Fibonacci.
2. Detección de rupturas internas del rango de precios (Break of Range).
3. Canal de regresión lineal.
4. Detección de patrones de velas (Patrones Engulfing).
Cálculo Dinámico de Niveles de Fibonacci y Detección de Rupturas Internas (Break of Range):
La fusión de los niveles de Fibonacci con la detección de rupturas internas del rango es crucial porque permite identificar con precisión los puntos de inflexión del mercado. Los niveles de Fibonacci funcionan como filtros iniciales, indicando potenciales zonas de soporte y resistencia. Cuando el precio cruza un nivel clave de Fibonacci, especialmente en conjunto con una ruptura interna del rango, la señal resultante es más robusta y fiable. Esta confluencia incrementa significativamente la probabilidad de que el movimiento del precio sea sostenible
Broken:
Función: El código identifica las rupturas cuando el precio cruza un nivel de Fibonacci clave (0%, 100%). Una ruptura es significativa si el precio cruza y se mantiene más allá de estos niveles.
Interacción: Las rupturas validan los niveles de Fibonacci. Por ejemplo, una ruptura por encima del nivel de Fibonacci del 0% puede confirmar una tendencia alcista.
Cambio de Estructura:
Función: En el código, el Cambio de Estructura se puede interpretar a través de la detección de patrones de pivote y señales de cambio en la estructura de precios, que identificamos como Break of Range.
Interacción: Este componente actúa como una confirmación de las rupturas de rango y los niveles de Fibonacci. Por ejemplo, si una ruptura de rango es seguida por un cambio en la estructura de precios (como la formación de un nuevo máximo más alto), esto refuerza la validez de la señal de ruptura de rango.
"BoR+Fib🔽": Indica una ruptura bajista del rango que también ha cruzado un nivel de Fibonacci hacia abajo. Esto puede interpretarse como una señal de venta o una indicación de tendencia bajista.
"BoR+Fib🔼": Representa una ruptura alcista del rango que también ha cruzado un nivel de Fibonacci hacia arriba. Puede interpretarse como una señal de compra o una indicación de tendencia alcista.
Canal de Regresión Lineal:
Función: El Canal de Regresión Lineal se calcula y dibuja utilizando un número definido de barras para establecer la tendencia general del mercado. Los cálculos involucran la suma y el promedio de los precios de cierre y sus productos con el índice de tiempo, para calcular la línea de regresión y su desviación estándar, el script utiliza este canal para contextualizar las señales de Fibonacci y las rupturas de rango, con rupturas que ocurren en la dirección de la tendencia del canal.
Interacción: Proporciona contexto a las señales de Fibonacci y rupturas de rango. Por ejemplo, si una ruptura de rango ocurre en la misma dirección que la tendencia indicada por el Canal de Regresión Lineal, esto añade credibilidad a la señal.
Beneficio de la Integración:El Canal de Regresión Lineal proporciona un contexto de tendencia general. Cuando una señal de ruptura de rango y un nivel de Fibonacci coinciden dentro de la dirección de la tendencia indicada por el canal, se fortalece la validez de la señal.
Convergencia de Señales: Un escenario ideal ocurre cuando todos los elementos convergen. Por ejemplo, un buen punto de entrada podría ser cuando el precio experimenta una ruptura de rango desde un nivel de Fibonacci importante, hay un cambio de estructura en la misma dirección, y todo esto ocurre en línea con la tendencia indicada por el Canal de Regresión Lineal.
Visualización de Volatilidad Dinámica: Ajusta el ancho del canal de regresión lineal en función de la volatilidad del mercado.
Validación y Confirmación de la Entrada después de la Ruptura del Canal de Regresión:
Confirmación de Ruptura: La ruptura del canal de regresión se valida no solo por el cruce del precio, sino también por un aumento en el volumen, lo que sugiere una ruptura significativa en lugar de una fluctuación temporal.
Confirmación de Entrada ('Confirmación de Entrada Baja y Alta'):
Barras de Confirmación: Se requiere un número específico de barras (entrada configurable) que cierren fuera del canal para confirmar una entrada. Esto reduce el riesgo de señales falsas.
Re-Test del Canal: Después de la ruptura, el precio a menudo vuelve a probar el borde del canal. Una entrada se confirma si el precio rebota desde esta área, validando la ruptura inicial.
Indicadores Auxiliares: Se utilizan osciladores o indicadores de impulso para confirmar la fuerza de la tendencia después de la ruptura.
Detección de Patrones de Velas (Patrones Engulfing):
Identificación de Patrones Engulfing: bullishEngulfing se activa en un patrón alcista con una tendencia bajista previa y una vela alcista específica. bearishEngulfing se activa en un patrón bajista con una tendencia alcista previa y una vela bajista específica.
Señales Especiales de Tendencia:
Las señales alcistas se muestran como círculos azules con "⬆️", mientras que las señales bajistas se muestran como círculos rojos "⬇️".
Señales Alcistas: Indican que el precio ha cruzado por encima de ciertos niveles de Fibonacci y la tendencia actual se considera alcista, ya que el precio de cierre más reciente es mayor que el precio de cierre de una barra específica en el pasado.
Señales Bajistas: Indican que el precio ha cruzado por debajo de ciertos niveles de Fibonacci y la tendencia actual se considera bajista, ya que el precio de cierre más reciente es menor que el precio de cierre de una barra específica en el pasado.
Integración con 3Commas para Automatización:
Automatización de Señales: La capacidad de integrar con plataformas como 3Commas permite la ejecución automática de estrategias basadas en las señales del script donde un bot podría ejecutar operaciones basadas en las señales generadas por el gráfico., facilitando un trading más eficiente y reduciendo el tiempo de reacción y como un script automatizado solo necesitamos poner en la alerta del mensaje previamente cargado nuestro short Bot Id o nuestro Long Bot ID.
TrendGuard Flag Finder - Strategy [presentTrading]
Introduction and How It Is Different
In the vast world of trading strategies, the TrendGuard Flag Finder stands out as a unique blend of traditional flag pattern detection and the renowned SuperTrend indicator.
- A significant portion of the Flag Pattern detection is inspired by the "Flag Finder" code by @Amphibiantrading, which serves as one of foundational element of this strategy.
- While many strategies focus on either trend-following or pattern recognition, this strategy harmoniously combines both, offering traders a more holistic view of the market.
- The integration of the SuperTrend indicator not only provides a clear direction of the prevailing trend but also offers potential stop-loss levels, enhancing the strategy's risk management capabilities.

Strategy: How It Works
The TrendGuard Flag Finder is primarily built on two pillars:
1. Flag Pattern Detection : At its core, the strategy identifies flag patterns, which are continuation patterns suggesting that the prevailing trend will resume after a brief consolidation. The strategy meticulously detects both bullish and bearish flags, ensuring traders can capitalize on opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern consists of two main components:
1.1 The Pole : This is the initial strong price move, which can be either upwards (for bullish flags) or downwards (for bearish flags). The pole represents a strong surge in price in a particular direction, driven by significant buying or selling momentum.
1.2 The Flag : Following the pole, the price starts consolidating, moving against the initial trend. This consolidation forms a rectangular shape and is characterized by parallel trendlines. In a bullish flag, the consolidation will have a slight downward tilt, while in a bearish flag, it will have a slight upward tilt.
How the Strategy Detects Flags:
Identifying the Pole: The strategy first identifies a strong price movement over a user-defined number of bars. This movement should meet a certain percentage change to qualify as a pole.
Spotting the Flag: After the pole is identified, the strategy looks for a consolidation phase. The consolidation should be counter to the prevailing trend and should be contained within parallel lines. The depth (for bullish flags) or rally (for bearish flags) of this consolidation is calculated to ensure it meets user-defined criteria.
2. SuperTrend Integration : The SuperTrend indicator, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, is integrated into the strategy. It provides a dynamic line on the chart, signaling the prevailing trend. When prices are above the SuperTrend line, it's an indication of an uptrend, and vice versa. This not only confirms the flag pattern's direction but also offers a potential stop-loss level for trades.
When combined, these components allow traders to identify potential breakout (for bullish flags) or breakdown (for bearish flags) scenarios, backed by the momentum indicated by the SuperTrend.
Usage
To use the SuperTrend Enhanced Flag Finder:
- Inputs : Begin by setting the desired parameters. The strategy offers a range of user-controlled settings, allowing for customization based on individual trading preferences and risk tolerance.
- Visualization : Once the parameters are set, the strategy will identify and visually represent flag patterns on the chart. Bullish flags are represented in green, while bearish flags are in red.
- Trade Execution : When a breakout or breakdown is identified, the strategy provides entry signals. It also offers exit signals based on the SuperTrend, ensuring that traders can capitalize on the momentum while managing risk.
Default Settings
The strategy comes with a set of default settings optimized for general use:
- SuperTrend Parameters: Length set to 10 and Factor set to 5.0.
- Bull Flag Criteria: Max Flag Depth at 7, Max Flag Length at 10 bars, Min Flag Length at 3 bars, Prior Uptrend Minimum at 9%, and Flag Pole Length between 7 to 13 bars.
- Bear Flag Criteria: Similar settings adjusted for bearish patterns.
- Display Options: By default, both bullish and bearish flags are displayed, with breakout and breakdown points highlighted.
GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Stochastic [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Stochastic is a Metamorphosis module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Stochastic
The Adaptive-Lookback Stochastic uses a swing pivot lookback algorithm to adjust the periiod input bar-bar-bar thereby converting the regular Stochasitc oscillator into an adaptive Stochatic oscillator.
What is the Adaptive Lookback Period?
The adaptive lookback period is a technique used in technical analysis to adjust the period of an indicator based on changes in market conditions. This technique is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals.
The concept of the adaptive lookback period is relatively simple. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals. This can help traders to enter and exit trades at the right time and improve the profitability of their trading strategies.
The adaptive lookback period works by identifying potential swing points in the market. Once these points are identified, the lookback period is calculated based on the number of swings and a speed parameter. The swing count parameter determines the number of swings that must occur before the lookback period is adjusted. The speed parameter controls the rate at which the lookback period is adjusted, with higher values indicating a more rapid adjustment.
The adaptive lookback period can be applied to a wide range of technical indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines. By adjusting the period of these indicators based on changes in market conditions, traders can reduce the impact of noise and false signals, leading to more profitable trades.
The adaptive lookback period is a powerful technique for traders and analysts looking to optimize their technical indicators. By adjusting the period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades. While there are various ways to implement the adaptive lookback period, the basic concept remains the same, and traders can adapt and customize the technique to suit their individual needs and trading styles.
What is the Stochastic Oscillator?
The Stochastic Oscillator is a popular technical analysis indicator developed by George Lane in the 1950s. It is a momentum indicator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specified period. The main idea behind the Stochastic Oscillator is that, in an upward trending market, prices tend to close near their high, while in a downward trending market, prices tend to close near their low. The Stochastic Oscillator ranges from 0 to 100 and is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions or potential trend reversals.
The Stochastic Oscillator is calculated using the following formula:
%K = ((C - L14) / (H14 - L14)) * 100
Where:
%K: The Stochastic Oscillator value.
C: The most recent closing price.
L14: The lowest price of the last 14 periods (or any other chosen period).
H14: The highest price of the last 14 periods (or any other chosen period).
Additionally, a moving average of %K, called %D, is calculated to provide a signal line:
%D = Simple Moving Average of %K over 'n' periods
The Stochastic Oscillator generates signals based on the following conditions:
1. Overbought and Oversold Levels: The Stochastic Oscillator typically uses 80 and 20 as overbought and oversold levels, respectively. When the oscillator is above 80, it is considered overbought, indicating that the market may be overvalued and a price decline is possible. When the oscillator is below 20, it is considered oversold, indicating that the market may be undervalued and a price rise is possible.
2. Bullish and Bearish Divergences: A bullish divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the Stochastic Oscillator makes a higher low, suggesting a potential trend reversal to the upside. A bearish divergence occurs when the price makes a higher high, but the Stochastic Oscillator makes a lower high, suggesting a potential trend reversal to the downside.
3. Crosses: Buy signals are generated when %K crosses above %D, indicating upward momentum. Sell signals are generated when %K crosses below %D, indicating downward momentum.
The Stochastic Oscillator is commonly used in combination with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of predictions.
When using the Stochastic Oscillator, it's important to consider a few best practices and additional insights:
1. Confirmation with other indicators: While the Stochastic Oscillator can provide valuable insights into potential trend reversals and overbought/oversold conditions, it is generally more effective when used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), or MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). This can help confirm signals and reduce the chances of false signals or whipsaws.
2. Timeframes: The Stochastic Oscillator can be applied to various timeframes, such as daily, weekly, or intraday charts. Adjusting the lookback period for the calculation can also alter the sensitivity of the indicator. A shorter lookback period will make the oscillator more sensitive to price movements, while a longer lookback period will make it less sensitive. Traders should choose a timeframe and lookback period that aligns with their trading strategy and risk tolerance.
3. Variations: There are two primary variations of the Stochastic Oscillator: Fast Stochastic and Slow Stochastic. The Fast Stochastic uses the original %K and %D calculations, while the Slow Stochastic smooths %K with an additional moving average and uses this smoothed %K as the new %D. The Slow Stochastic is generally considered to generate fewer false signals due to the additional smoothing.
4. Overbought and Oversold: It's important to remember that overbought and oversold conditions can persist for an extended period, especially during strong trends. This means that the Stochastic Oscillator alone should not be relied upon as a definitive buy or sell signal. Instead, traders should wait for additional confirmation from other indicators or price action before entering or exiting a trade.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a valuable momentum indicator that helps traders identify potential trend reversals and overbought/oversold conditions in the market. However, it is most effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and should be adapted to suit the specific needs of the individual trader's strategy and risk tolerance.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Full GKD Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Composite RSI
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Vortex
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Fisher Transform, Universal Oscillator, Aroon, Vortex .. combined
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

█ GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Variety RSI
What is the Adaptive Lookback Period?
The adaptive lookback period is a technique used in technical analysis to adjust the period of an indicator based on changes in market conditions. This technique is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals.
The concept of the adaptive lookback period is relatively simple. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals. This can help traders to enter and exit trades at the right time and improve the profitability of their trading strategies.
The adaptive lookback period works by identifying potential swing points in the market. Once these points are identified, the lookback period is calculated based on the number of swings and a speed parameter. The swing count parameter determines the number of swings that must occur before the lookback period is adjusted. The speed parameter controls the rate at which the lookback period is adjusted, with higher values indicating a more rapid adjustment.
The adaptive lookback period can be applied to a wide range of technical indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines. By adjusting the period of these indicators based on changes in market conditions, traders can reduce the impact of noise and false signals, leading to more profitable trades.
In summary, the adaptive lookback period is a powerful technique for traders and analysts looking to optimize their technical indicators. By adjusting the period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades. While there are various ways to implement the adaptive lookback period, the basic concept remains the same, and traders can adapt and customize the technique to suit their individual needs and trading styles.

10. Jurik RSX
Regular RSI
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely used technical indicator in the field of financial market analysis. Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978, the RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It helps traders identify potential trend reversals, overbought, and oversold conditions in a market.
The RSI is calculated based on the average gains and losses of an asset over a specified period, typically 14 days. The formula for calculating the RSI is as follows:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Where:
RS (Relative Strength) = Average gain over the specified period / Average loss over the specified period
The RSI ranges from 0 to 100, with values above 70 generally considered overbought (potentially indicating that the asset is overvalued and may experience a price decline) and values below 30 considered oversold (potentially indicating that the asset is undervalued and may experience a price increase).
Slow RSI
Slow RSI is a modified version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator that aims to provide a smoother, more consistent signal than the traditional RSI. The Slow RSI is designed to be less sensitive to sudden price movements, which can cause false signals.
To calculate Slow RSI, we first calculate the up and down values, just like in traditional RSI and Ehlers RSI. The up and down values are calculated by comparing the current price to the previous price, and then adding up the positive and negative differences.
Next, we calculate the Slow RSI value using the formula:
SlowRSI = 100 * up / (up + dn)
where "up" and "dn" are the total positive and negative differences, respectively.
This formula is similar to the one used in traditional RSI, but the dynamic lookback period based on the average of the up and down values is used to smooth out the signal.
Finally, we apply smoothing to the Slow RSI value by taking an exponential moving average (EMA) of the Slow RSI values over a specified period. This EMA helps to reduce the impact of sudden price movements and provide a smoother, more consistent signal over time.
Ehler's Smoothed RSI
Ehlers RSI is a modified version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator created by John Ehlers, a well-known technical analyst and author. The purpose of Ehlers RSI is to reduce lag and improve the responsiveness of the traditional RSI indicator.
To calculate Ehlers RSI, we first smooth the prices by taking a weighted average of the current price and the two previous prices. This smoothing helps to reduce noise in the data and produce a more accurate signal.
Next, we calculate the up and down values differently than in traditional RSI. In traditional RSI, the up and down values are based on the difference between the current price and the previous price. In Ehlers RSI, the up and down values are based on the difference between the current price and the price two bars ago. This approach helps to reduce lag and produce a more responsive indicator.
Finally, we calculate Ehlers RSI using the formula:
EhlersRSI = 50 * (up - down) / (up + down) + 50
The result is a more timely signal that can help traders identify potential trends and reversals in the market. However, as with any technical indicator, Ehlers RSI should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools and should not be relied on as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Cutler's RSI
Cutler's RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a variation of the traditional RSI, a popular technical analysis indicator used to measure the speed and change of price movements. The main difference between Cutler's RSI and the traditional RSI is the calculation method used to smooth the data. While the traditional RSI uses an exponential moving average (EMA) to smooth the data, Cutler's RSI uses a simple moving average (SMA).
Here's the formula for Cutler's RSI:
1. Calculate the price change: Price Change = Current Price - Previous Price
2. Calculate the average gain and average loss over a specified period (usually 14 days):
If Price Change > 0, add it to the total gains.
If Price Change < 0, add the absolute value to the total losses.
3. Calculate the average gain and average loss by dividing the totals by the specified period: Average Gain = Total Gains / Period, Average Loss = Total Losses / Period
4. Calculate the Relative Strength (RS): RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
5. Calculate Cutler's RSI: Cutler's RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Cutler's RSI is not necessarily better than the regular RSI; it's just a different variation of the traditional RSI that uses a simple moving average (SMA) instead of an exponential moving average (EMA) quantifiedstrategies.com. The main advantage of Cutler's RSI is that it is not data length dependent, meaning it returns consistent results regardless of the length of the period, or the starting point within a data file quantifiedstrategies.com.
However, it's worth noting that Cutler's RSI does not necessarily outperform the traditional RSI. In fact, backtests reveal that Cutler's RSI is no improvement compared to Wilder's RSI quantifiedstrategies.com. Additionally, using an SMA instead of an EMA in Cutler's RSI may result in the loss of the "believed" advantage of weighting the most recent price action aaii.com.
Both Cutler's RSI and the traditional RSI can be used to identify overbought/oversold levels, support and resistance, spot divergences for possible reversals, and confirm the signals from other indicators investopedia.com. Ultimately, the choice between Cutler's RSI and the traditional RSI depends on personal preference and the specific trading strategy being employed.
Rapid RSI
Rapid RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a modified version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It was developed by Andrew Cardwell and was first introduced in the October 2006 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine.
The Rapid RSI improves upon the regular RSI by modifying the way the average gains and losses are calculated. Here's a general breakdown of the Rapid RSI calculation:
1. Calculate the upward change (when the price has increased) and the downward change (when the price has decreased) for each period.
2. Calculate the simple moving average (SMA) of the upward changes and the SMA of the downward changes over the specified period.
3. Divide the SMA of the upward changes by the SMA of the downward changes to get the relative strength (RS).
4. Calculate the Rapid RSI by transforming the relative strength (RS) into a value ranging from 0 to 100.
By using the simple moving average (SMA) instead of the slow exponential moving average (RMA) as in the regular RSI, the Rapid RSI tends to be more responsive to recent price changes. This can help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions more quickly, potentially leading to earlier entry and exit points. However, it is important to note that a faster indicator may also produce more false signals.
Harris' RSI
Harris RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a technical indicator used in financial analysis to measure the strength or weakness of a security over time. It was developed by Larry Harris in 1986 as an alternative to the traditional RSI, which measures the price change of a security over a given period.
The Harris RSI uses a slightly different formula from the traditional RSI, but it is based on the same principles. It calculates the ratio of the average gain to the average loss over a specified period, typically 14 days. The result is then plotted on a scale of 0 to 100, with high values indicating overbought conditions and low values indicating oversold conditions.
The Harris RSI is believed to be more responsive to short-term price movements than the traditional RSI, making it useful for traders who are looking for quick trading opportunities. However, like any technical indicator, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to make informed trading decisions.
The calculation of the Harris RSI involves several steps:
1. Calculate the price change over the specified period (usually 14 days) using the following formula:
Price Change = Close Price - Prior Close Price
2. Calculate the average gain and average loss over the same period, using separate formulas for each:
Average Gain = (Sum of Gains over the Period) / Period
Average Loss = (Sum of Losses over the Period) / Period
Gains are calculated as the sum of all positive price changes over the period, while losses are calculated as the sum of all negative price changes over the period.
3. Calculate the Relative Strength (RS) as the ratio of the Average Gain to the Average Loss:
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
4. Calculate the Harris RSI using the following formula:
Harris RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
The resulting Harris RSI value is a number between 0 and 100, which is plotted on a chart to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the security. A value above 70 is generally considered overbought, while a value below 30 is generally considered oversold.
DEMA RSI
DEMA RSI is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) technical indicator that incorporates the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) for smoothing. Like the regular RSI, the DEMA RSI is a momentum oscillator used to measure the speed and change of price movements, and it ranges from 0 to 100. Readings below 30 typically indicate oversold conditions, while readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions.
The DEMA RSI aims to improve upon the regular RSI by addressing its limitations, such as lag and false signals. By using the DEMA, a more responsive and faster RSI can be achieved. Here's a general breakdown of the DEMA RSI calculation:
1. Calculate the price change for each period, as well as the absolute value of the change.
2. Apply the DEMA smoothing technique to both the price change and its absolute value, separately. This involves calculating two sets of exponential moving averages and combining them to create a double-weighted moving average with reduced lag.
3. Divide the smoothed price change by the smoothed absolute value of the price change.
4. Transform the result into a value ranging from 0 to 100 to obtain the DEMA RSI.
The DEMA RSI is considered an improvement over the regular RSI because it provides faster and more responsive signals. This can help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions more accurately and potentially avoid false signals.
In summary, the main advantages of these RSI variations over the regular RSI are their ability to reduce noise, provide smoother lines, and be more responsive to price changes. This can lead to more accurate signals and fewer false positives in different market conditions.
TEMA RSI
TEMA RSI is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) technical indicator that incorporates the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) for smoothing. Like the regular RSI, the TEMA RSI is a momentum oscillator used to measure the speed and change of price movements, and it ranges from 0 to 100. Readings below 30 typically indicate oversold conditions, while readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions.
The TEMA RSI aims to improve upon the regular RSI by addressing its limitations, such as lag and false signals. By using the TEMA, a more responsive and faster RSI can be achieved. Here's a general breakdown of the TEMA RSI calculation:
1. Calculate the price change for each period, as well as the absolute value of the change.
2. Apply the TEMA smoothing technique to both the price change and its absolute value, separately. This involves calculating two sets of exponential moving averages and combining them to create a double-weighted moving average with reduced lag.
3. Divide the smoothed price change by the smoothed absolute value of the price change.
4. Transform the result into a value ranging from 0 to 100 to obtain the TEMA RSI.
The TEMA RSI is considered an improvement over the regular RSI because it provides faster and more responsive signals. This can help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions more accurately and potentially avoid false signals.
T3 RSI
T3 RSI is a variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) technical indicator that incorporates the Tilson T3 for smoothing. Like the regular RSI, the T3 RSI is a momentum oscillator used to measure the speed and change of price movements, and it ranges from 0 to 100. Readings below 30 typically indicate oversold conditions, while readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions.
The T3 RSI aims to improve upon the regular RSI by addressing its limitations, such as lag and false signals. By using the T3, a more responsive and faster RSI can be achieved. Here's a general breakdown of the T3 RSI calculation:
1. Calculate the price change for each period, as well as the absolute value of the change.
2. Apply the T3 smoothing technique to both the price change and its absolute value, separately. This involves calculating two sets of exponential moving averages and combining them to create a double-weighted moving average with reduced lag.
3. Divide the smoothed price change by the smoothed absolute value of the price change.
4. Transform the result into a value ranging from 0 to 100 to obtain the T3 RSI.
The T3 RSI is considered an improvement over the regular RSI because it provides faster and more responsive signals. This can help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions more accurately and potentially avoid false signals.
Jurik RSX
The Jurik RSX is a technical indicator developed by Mark Jurik to measure the momentum and strength of price movements in financial markets, such as stocks, commodities, and currencies. It is an advanced version of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI), designed to offer smoother and less lagging signals compared to the standard RSI.
The main advantage of the Jurik RSX is that it provides more accurate and timely signals for traders and analysts, thanks to its improved calculation methods that reduce noise and lag in the indicator's output. This enables better decision-making when analyzing market trends and potential trading opportunities.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
It's important to note that, like any other technical analysis tool, Heiken Ashi "better" candles are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Adaptive-Lookback Variety RSI as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Adaptive-Lookback Variety RSI
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

]█ Setting up the GKD
The GKD system involves chaining indicators together. These are the steps to set this up.
Use a GKD-C indicator alone on a chart
1. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Simple"
Use a GKD-V indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Use a GKD-B indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Baseline (Baseline, Backtest)
1. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
2. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Baseline"
Volatility/Volume (Volatility/Volume, Backte st)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Solo"

Pivot Point SupertrendHello All,
There are many types of SuperTrend around. Recently I thought about a Supertrend based on Pivot Points then I wrote "Pivot Point SuperTrend" script. It looks it has better performance on keeping you in the trend more.
The idea is behind this script is finding pivot point, calculating average of them and like in supertrend creating higher/lower bands by ATR. As you can see in the algorithm the script gives weigth to past pivot points, this is done for smoothing it a bit.
As I wrote above it may keep you in the trend more, lets see an example:
As an option the script can show main center line and I realized that when you are in a position, this line can be used as early exit points. (maybe half of the position size)
While using Pivot Points, I added support resistance lines by using Pivot Point, as an option the script can show S/R lines:
And also it can show Pivot Points:
When you changed Pivot Point Period you can see its reaction, in following example PP period is 4 (default value is 2). Smaller PP periods more sensitive trendlines.
Alerts added for Buy/Sell entries and Trend Reversals. (when you set alerts use the option " Once Per Bar Close ")
ENJOY!
[LAVA] Relative Price DifferenceThis script shows the relative price difference based off the last high and low, so many bars ago. Bollinger bands are also included by default for closer inspection on the intensity of the movement or the lack thereof. Bollinger bands will follow the smoothed line which will allow the reactionary line to cross the boundary during an intense movement. With the colors selected, a gray color will appear after the color to the zero line to announce a deep correction is possible. Buy/Sell indicators show up as crosses to indicate when the price is moving in a certain direction. Sideways stagnation will have several crosses due to the close proximity to the zero line.
I use 21 in the demo here without the bollinger bands or buy/sell indicators to show the power of the script to identify bottoms and tops using the tips and hand drawn trendlines.
(This script is actually the same script as before, but listed here as the final version. Hopefully this will be my last update with this script.)
If you use and enjoy this script, please like it!
LETHINH Pinbar📌 PinBar Minimal Detector — Description (English)
PinBar Minimal Detector is a clean and efficient tool designed to detect high-quality pin bars based purely on candle geometry.
This script focuses on the core characteristics of a true pin bar: a long rejection wick and a small candle body, without adding unnecessary complexity. It is ideal for traders who want fast, reliable signal detection without noise.
⸻
✨ Key Features
• Detects both bullish and bearish pin bars.
• Fully configurable wick/body ratio.
• Optional filter for maximum opposite wick size.
• Option to ignore candles with extremely small bodies.
• Clean chart display with simple labels (“PIN”).
• Includes alert conditions for automated notifications (webhook, popup, email, etc.).
• Lightweight and optimized for fast execution on any timeframe.
⸻
🔍 Detection Logic
A candle qualifies as a bullish pin bar when:
• The lower wick is at least X times larger than the body.
• The upper wick is relatively small (optional filter).
• The body is above the minimum body threshold.
A candle qualifies as a bearish pin bar when:
• The upper wick is at least X times larger than the body.
• The lower wick is relatively small.
• The body meets the minimum size requirement.
This ensures that only candles showing strong rejection are highlighted.
⸻
⚙️ Input Parameters
1. wick/body ratio
Defines how many times longer the main wick must be compared to the candle body.
For example:
• 3.0 → wick must be at least 3× the body
• 4.0–5.0 → only very strong pin bars
2. opposite wick max (factor)
The maximum allowed size of the wick on the opposite side, relative to the body.
Example:
• 0.5 → opposite wick ≤ 50% of body
• Lower values = stricter filtering
3. min body px
Filters out candles with bodies that are too small (low volatility candles).
4. show labels
Enable or disable the “PIN” labels on the chart.
⸻
🚨 Alerts
The script includes two built-in alert conditions:
• Bullish PinBar Detected
• Bearish PinBar Detected
These alerts can be paired with:
• TradingView notifications
• Webhooks (for bots / automation)
• Email or SMS alerts
⸻
🎯 Use Cases
• Identify high-probability reversal points
• Enhance price action strategies
• Combine with S/R zones, supply & demand, trendlines, or order blocks
• Filter entries on lower timeframes while following higher-timeframe trend bias
⸻
📘 Notes
This is a minimalistic version by design.
If you want a more advanced version (confirmation candle, volume filter, multi-timeframe filtering, trend direction filtering, etc.), this script can be expanded easily
VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.
Part of the VCAI Lite Series.
Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels.
This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons.
It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior.
Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison.
As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool.
"Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility.
🔹 Comparing different assets
This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar.
Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels.
In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology.
In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200.
In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down.
Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range.
As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy.
As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings.
Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user.
🔹 Displaying Elements
Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points.
Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility.
There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs.
The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets:
The chart asset's average of all swing points
The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points
The custom asset's z-score for each swing point
Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example.
Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Trendlines
Ticker: Select the custom ticker.
Timeframe: Select a custom timeframe.
Show Last: Select how many swing points to display.
Pivot Length: Select the size for swing point detection.

Trend Vector Pro v2.0Trend Vector Pro v2.0
👨💻 Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
💡 Strategy Overview & Coherence
Trend Vector Pro (TVPro) is a momentum-based trend & reversal strategy that uses a custom smoothed oscillator, an optional ADX filter, and classic Pivot Points to create a single, coherent trading framework.
Instead of stacking random indicators, TVPro is built around these integrated components:
A custom momentum engine (signal generation)
An optional ADX filter (trend quality control)
Daily Pivot Points (context, targets & S/R)
Swing-based “Golden Bar” trailing stops (trade management)
Optional extended bar detection (overextension alerts)
All parts are designed to work together and are documented below to address originality & usefulness requirements.
🔍 Core Components & Justification
1. Custom Momentum Engine (Main Signal Source)
TVPro’s engine is a custom oscillator derived from the bar midpoint ( hl2 ), similar in spirit to the Awesome Oscillator but adapted and fully integrated into the strategy. It measures velocity and acceleration of price, letting the script distinguish between strong impulses, weakening trends, and pure noise.
2. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Validation – Optional)
Uses Average Directional Index (ADX) as a gatekeeper.
Why this matters: This prevents the strategy from firing signals in choppy, non-trending environments (when ADX is below the threshold) and keeps trades focused on periods of clear directional strength.
3. Classic Pivot Points (Context & Targets)
Calculates Daily Pivot Points ( PP, R1-R3, S1-S3 ) via request.security() using prior session data.
Why this matters: Momentum gives the signal, ADX validates the environment, and Pivots add external structure for risk and target planning. This is a designed interaction, not a random mashup.
🧭 Trend State Logic (5-State Bar Coloring)
The strategy uses the momentum's value + slope to define five states, turning the chart into a visual momentum map:
🟢 STRONG BULL (Bright Green): Momentum accelerating UP. → Strong upside impulse.
🌲 WEAK BULL (Dark Green): Momentum decelerating DOWN (while positive). → Pullback/pause zone.
🔴 STRONG BEAR (Bright Red): Momentum accelerating DOWN. → Strong downside impulse.
🍷 WEAK BEAR (Dark Red): Momentum decelerating UP (while negative). → Rally/short-covering zone.
🔵 NEUTRAL / CHOP (Cyan): Momentum is near zero (based on noise threshold). → Consolidation / low volatility.
🎯 Signal Logic Modes
TVPro provides two selectable entry styles, controlled by input:
Reversals Only (Cleaner Mode – Default): Targets trend flips. Entry triggers when the current state is Bullish (or Bearish) and the previous state was not. This reduces noise and over-trading.
All Strong Pulses (Aggressive Mode): Targets acceleration phases. Entry triggers when the bar turns to STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR after any other state. This mode produces more trades.
📌 Risk Management Tools
🟡 Golden Bars – Trailing Stops: Yellow “Trail” Arrows mark confirmed Swing Highs/Lows. These are used as logical trailing stop levels based on market structure.
Extended Bars: Detects when price closes outside a 2-standard-deviation channel, flagging overextension where a pullback is more likely.
Pivot Points: Used as external targets for Take Profit and structural stop placement.
⚙️ Strategy Defaults (Crucial for Publication Compliance)
To keep backtest results realistic and in line with House Rules, TVPro is published with the following fixed default settings:
Order Size: 5% of equity per trade ( default_qty_value = 5 )
Commission: 0.04% per order ( commission_value = 0.04 )

Advanced Breakout System v2.0Advanced Breakout System v2.0
Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
This script hunts for high-probability breakouts by combining price consolidation zones, volume spikes vs. average volume, smart money flow (OBV), and a Momentum Override for explosive moves that skip consolidation. Additionally, it automatically identifies and plots Support and Resistance levels with price labels to help you visualize market structure.
The system follows a "Watch & Confirm" logic: it first prints a WATCH setup, then a BUY only if price confirms strength.
💡 JUSTIFICATION OF CONCEPTS (MASHUP & ORIGINALITY)
This script is an original mashup combining several analytical concepts to address common breakout failures:
Volatility Compression Engine: Uses built-in functions like ta.highest() and ta.lowest() to mathematically define the setup phase where price volatility is compressed below a user-defined threshold.
Volume Spike Confirmation: The breakout must be confirmed by a volume increase greater than a moving average of volume, signaling strong market interest.
Smart Volume Filter (OBV): This is the key component. By checking if ta.obv is above its own Moving Average, we confirm that accumulation has been occurring during the consolidation period, suggesting institutional positioning before the price break.
Multi-Exit Risk System: Employs dynamic exits (EMA cross, volume dump, bearish pattern) instead of static stop-losses to manage risk adaptively based on real-time market action.
Market Structure Visualization: The script also includes a Support & Resistance engine to plot key swing pivots and price labels for visual context.
✅ STRATEGY RESULTS & POLICY COMPLIANCE
To ensure non-misleading and transparent backtesting results, this strategy is published with the following fully compliant properties:
Dataset Compliance: The backtest is performed on the CMTL Daily (1D) chart across a long history, generating 201 total trades. This significantly exceeds the minimum requirement of 100 trades, providing a robust test dataset.
Risk Control: The strategy uses a conservative order size set to 2% of equity (default_qty_value=2), strictly adhering to the sustainable risk recommendation of 5-10% of equity per trade.
Transaction Costs: Realistic trading conditions are modeled using 0.07% commission and 3 ticks slippage to prevent the overestimation of profitability.
⚙️ VISUAL GUIDE & SIGNAL LOGIC
Key Color Legend (Visual Guide):
WATCH – Setup (Yellow Arrow Down): Potential breakout setup detected.
BUY – Confirmation (Green Arrow Up): Confirmed breakout, triggered when price trades above the high of the WATCH candle.
SELL – Break (Orange Arrow): Short-term trend weakness, triggered when price closes below the Fast EMA (9).
SELL – Dump (Dark Red Arrow): Distribution / volume dump, triggered by a bearish candle with abnormally high volume.
SELL – Pattern (Purple Arrow): Bearish price-action pattern (such as a bearish engulfing).
Support & Resistance Lines (Red/Green): Small horizontal lines plotted at key swing points with exact price labels.
⌨️ INPUTS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
Entry settings: Consolidation Lookback (default 20) = bars used to detect consolidation. Consolidation Range % (default 12%) = max allowed range size. Volume Spike Multiplier (default 1.2) = factor above average volume to count as a spike. Force Signal on Big Moves (default ON) = forces a WATCH signal on high-momentum moves.
Exit settings: Enable Fast Exit (EMA 9) toggles the SELL – Break signal. Dump Volume Multiplier defines what counts as “dump” volume.
Support & Resistance: Adjustable Pivot Left/Right bars control the sensitivity of the support and resistance lines.

Trading Session IL7 Session-Based Intraday Momentum IndicatorOverview
This indicator is designed to support discretionary traders by highlighting intraday momentum phases based on price behavior and trading session context.
It is intended as a confirmation tool and not as a standalone trading system or automated strategy.
Core Concept
The script combines multiple market observations, including:
- Directional price behavior within the current timeframe
- Structural consistency in recent price movement
- Session-based filtering to focus on periods with higher activity and liquidity
Signals are only displayed when internal conditions align, helping traders avoid low-quality setups during sideways or low-momentum market phases.
How to Use
This indicator should be used to confirm existing trade ideas rather than generate trades on its own.
It can help traders:
- Identify periods where momentum is more likely to continue
- Filter out trades during unfavorable market conditions
- Align intraday execution with higher-timeframe bias
Best results are achieved when used alongside key price levels, higher-timeframe structure and proper risk management.
Limitations
This indicator does not predict future price movements.
Signals may change during active candles.
Market conditions may reduce effectiveness during extremely low volatility periods.

LVN Smart Liquidity📊 LVN SMART LIQUIDITY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 OVERVIEW
LVN Smart Liquidity is an advanced Market Profile-based indicator that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, this tool uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculations to detect price levels where minimal trading activity occurred, revealing potential breakout zones and rapid price movement areas.
These LVN zones often behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money Concepts, representing "thin air" areas where price tends to move quickly with minimal resistance. The indicator provides dynamic zone management with an immunity period system to prevent premature zone closure.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 HOW IT WORKS
MARKET PROFILE TPO METHODOLOGY:
The indicator analyzes each higher timeframe period by:
1. Dividing the price range into 20 equal levels
2. Counting how many bars touched each level (TPO count)
3. Identifying levels with TPO counts below the threshold (default 30% of maximum)
4. Creating horizontal zones that extend until price touches them
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS:
• Supports up to 5 independent timeframes simultaneously
• Each timeframe generates its own LVN zones with unique colors
• Auto-timeframe mode adapts to your chart period
• Zones project from historical sessions onto current price action
SMART ZONE MANAGEMENT:
• Immunity Period: New zones are protected for N bars after creation (default 20)
• This prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within them
• Zones extend right until price touches them, then stop extending
• Historical zones remain visible for reference (optional)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
💡 WHY LVN ZONES MATTER
Low Volume Nodes represent price levels where:
✓ Price spent minimal time (rejection zones)
✓ Few market participants were active
✓ Inefficient price discovery occurred
✓ Similar to Fair Value Gaps in ICT/SMC methodology
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
• Breakout Acceleration: Price moves rapidly through LVN zones
• Profit Targets: Place targets beyond LVN zones where momentum slows
• Stop Loss Placement: Avoid placing stops inside LVN zones (price likely to continue)
• Confluence with FVG: LVN zones often align with Fair Value Gaps
• Retest Opportunities: When price revisits LVN, expect quick moves
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY FEATURES
TIMEFRAME FLEXIBILITY:
• 5 independent timeframe slots with enable/disable toggles
• Auto-mode intelligently selects higher timeframes
• Preset options: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, 4H, D, W, 2W, M, 3M, 6M, 12M
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION:
• Individual color settings for each timeframe
• Adjustable box transparency and border width
• Toggle timeframe labels and period dates on/off
• Four text size options: tiny, small, normal, large
ADVANCED CONTROLS:
• LVN Threshold: 0-50% (default 30%) - lower = fewer, stronger zones
• Immunity Period: 0-50 bars (default 20) - prevents premature closure
• Show/Hide old boxes for clean chart appearance
• Maximum 500 boxes supported per timeframe
PROFESSIONAL DISPLAY:
• Zones show timeframe label (5m, 1H, D, etc.)
• Optional period dates (dd.MM-dd.MM format)
• Boxes extend right dynamically until price touch
• Clean visual hierarchy with bordered zones
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📈 HOW TO USE
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart
2. Enable desired timeframes (TF1, TF2, etc.)
3. Adjust LVN threshold based on your trading style:
• 20-25% = Very selective (only thinnest zones)
• 30-35% = Balanced (recommended for most markets)
• 40-50% = More zones (higher sensitivity)
INTERPRETATION:
• RED/DARK ZONES = Low trading activity occurred here
• Price tends to move THROUGH these zones quickly
• Similar behavior to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money theory
• Expect acceleration when price enters LVN zones
TRADING STRATEGIES:
1. BREAKOUT TRADING:
- Wait for price to approach LVN zone
- Enter when price breaks into the zone
- Expect rapid movement through the zone
- Target next support/resistance beyond LVN
2. CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS:
- Combine with other SMC concepts (Order Blocks, FVG, Liquidity)
- LVN + FVG overlap = high-probability acceleration zone
- Use higher timeframe LVN as directional bias
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME:
- Daily LVN = major breakout zones
- 4H LVN = intraday momentum areas
- 15m LVN = scalping opportunities

📊 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUENESS
This indicator is original because:
1. TPO-BASED CALCULATION: Uses Market Profile Time-Price-Opportunity methodology instead of traditional volume analysis, making it work on all markets including those without real volume data (Forex, some indices).
2. IMMUNITY SYSTEM: Unique protection mechanism prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within zone boundaries at creation time.
3. TRUE MULTI-TIMEFRAME: Independent calculation for each timeframe with separate zone management, not simple higher timeframe projection.
4. SMART ZONE LIFECYCLE: Zones dynamically extend until price touch, then become static historical references.
5. FVG-LIKE BEHAVIOR: Bridges traditional Market Profile analysis with modern Smart Money Concepts by identifying zones that behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps.
Unlike existing LVN indicators that rely on volume data, this tool uses time-based analysis, making it universal across all market types and compatible with brokers that don't provide accurate volume information.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📚 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
MARKET PROFILE THEORY:
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile analyzes market behavior by examining price and time relationships. Low Volume Nodes in traditional profile represent areas where market participants showed minimal interest.
TPO (TIME PRICE OPPORTUNITY):
Instead of counting volume, TPO counts how many time periods (bars) touched each price level. This approach:
• Works on all markets regardless of volume data quality
• Reflects actual time-based market acceptance/rejection
• Reveals psychological price levels through time distribution
CONNECTION TO SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in ICT methodology represent similar inefficiencies:
• Areas where price moved too quickly
• Imbalances in buying/selling pressure
• Zones that price may revisit or accelerate through
• LVN zones often overlap with FVG locations
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎓 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
To maximize this indicator's effectiveness, study:
• Market Profile fundamentals (TPO, POC, Value Area)
• Smart Money Concepts (FVG, Order Blocks, Liquidity)
• Multi-timeframe analysis techniques
• Volume Profile comparison (understand the difference)
COMPANION INDICATOR:
Consider using "HVN Smart Liquidity" (opposite concept) to identify both high and low volume zones for complete Market Profile analysis.

Dan Zanger Master Trading System [Premium]
Dan Zanger Master Trading System
Overview
This indicator implements the legendary trading methodology of Dan Zanger, who famously turned $10,775 into over $42 million using pattern recognition and volume analysis. The system combines professional-grade pattern detection, volume analysis, and risk management into a comprehensive trading solution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Features
1. Zanger Volume Ratio (ZVR)
The cornerstone of Zanger's methodology—volume confirms everything.
- Dynamic volume classification: Extreme (≥2x), High (≥1.65x), Moderate (≥1.25x), Low
- Bar coloring by volume intensity for instant visual feedback
- Volume dry-up detection: Identifies when volume contracts to <50% of average—Zanger's key signal that precedes explosive breakouts
2. Pattern Detection Engine
Automatically detects Zanger's favorite chart patterns:
🚩 Bull Flag - 15%+ pole with orderly 20-50% retracement, downward-sloping flag, declining volume
☕ Cup & Handle - U-shaped recovery (12-35% depth), handle in upper half, no undercut of cup low
△ Ascending Triangle - Flat resistance with higher lows, converging range, multiple resistance touches
▽ Descending Triangle - Flat support with lower highs (bearish warning)
◇ Symmetrical Triangle - Converging trendlines with contracting volume
▬ Flat Base - Tight consolidation (<15% range), price near highs, volume drying up
═ Channel - Up/Down/Horizontal channels with parallel bounds
3. Trend Analysis
Four Moving Averages: 10/20/50/200-period (selectable: SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA)
Trend Score (0-100): Quantifies trend strength based on MA positioning and direction
Golden Cross/Death Cross detection with visual markers
4. Zanger-Style Breakout Detection
Breakouts require ALL of these conditions:
- ✅ Price exceeds resistance with conviction
- ✅ Volume confirms (≥1.5x average)
- ✅ Strong close (upper 25% of bar range)
- ✅ Above rising 50-day MA
- ✅ Preceded by volume dry-up (ideal)
5. "Never Chase" Protection
Zanger's #1 rule implemented: Warns you when price is >5% above breakout level. This prevents costly chasing entries.
6. Risk Management System
Built-in position management following Zanger's rules:
Stop Loss: Default 7% (Zanger uses 5-7%)
Profit Target 1: 15% (take partial profits)
Profit Target 2: 30% (let winners run)
Trailing Stop: Activates after PT1, trails at 10% from highs
