Order blocksHi all!
This indicator will show you found order blocks that can be used as supply or demand. It's my take on trying to create good order blocks and I hope it makes sense.
First off I suggest to verify the current trend before using an order block. This can be done in a variety of ways, one way could be to use my other script "Market structure" () which I use and suggest.
You can configure the indicator to behave differently depending on settings. These are the settings available:
• The order blocks created can be found in any higher timeframe defined in "Timeframe"
• The number of active order blocks are defined in "Count". If an order block is found the earliest order block will be replaced
• You can choose the type of order blocks that are found ("Bullish", "Bearish " or "Both") in "Type"
• The old order blocks can be kept if "Keep history" is checked
• Order blocks that are found are not removed when mitigated (entered) but when a new one appears. They can be removed when they are broken by price if "Remove broken zones" are checked
There is also a setting section called "Requirements" that defines what is required for an order block to be created. These are the settings:
• "Take out"
Check this if you want the base of the order block (the candle where the zone is drawn from (high and low)) to have to take out the previous candle (be higher or lower depending if the order block is bullish or bearish).
• "Consecutive rising/falling"
Each following candle in the reaction (the 3 reaction candles) needs to reach higher or lower (depending on bullish or bearish). Check this if you want that to be true.
• "Reaction"
Some sort of reaction is needed from the 3 candles creating the order block. This reaction is based on the value of the Average True Length (ATR) of length 14. You can here define a factor of the value from the ATR that these 3 candles needs to move in price. A higher need for a reaction (higher factor of the ATR) will create lesser zones. You can also choose to show this limit with the checkbox.
• "Fair Value Gap"
The reaction needs to create a gap (imbalance) in price. This gap is known as a "Fair Value Gap" and is created when the last candle's wick does not meet with the base candle's wick. Check this if you want this to be needed.
After these settings you can also choose the colors of the created zones. The ones that are active (called "Zones"), the ones that are replaced ("Replaced zones") and the ones that are broken ("Broken zones") (if this is enabled in "Remove broken zones").
I'm using my library "Touched" to be able to show you labels when the order blocks have a retest, false breakout and breakout. These labels can be hidden if you disable the labels under the style tab in the indicator settings.
The concept of order blocks is widely used among traders and can provide you with good supply or demand zones. I hope that this indicator makes sense.
My todo-list has a few things, but top of that list is adding alerts for zone interactions or creations. Please feel free to say what you want to be coded!
The order blocks in the publication chart are found in weekly timeframe but are shown on the daily timeframe. Other than that the image shows you zones from the default settings (which are based on the daily timeframe).
Best of luck trading!

Supply and Demand [tambangEA]Supply and Demand Indicator Overview
The Supply and Demand indicator on TradingView is a technical tool designed to help traders identify areas of significant buying and selling pressure in the market. By identifying zones where price is likely to react, it helps traders pinpoint key support and resistance levels based on the concepts of supply and demand. This indicator plots zones using four distinct types of market structures:
1. Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) : This structure represents a bullish continuation zone. It occurs when the price rallies (increases), forms a base (consolidates), and then rallies again. The base represents a period where buying interest builds up before the continuation of the upward movement. This zone can act as support, where buyers may step back in if the price revisits the area.
2. Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) : This structure marks a bullish reversal zone. It forms when the price drops, creates a base, and then rallies. The base indicates a potential exhaustion of selling pressure and a build-up of buying interest. When price revisits this zone, it may act as support, signaling a buying opportunity.
3. Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) : This structure signifies a bearish reversal zone. Here, the price rallies, consolidates into a base, and then drops. The base indicates a temporary balance before sellers overpower buyers. If price returns to this zone, it may act as resistance, with selling interest potentially re-emerging.
4. Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) : This structure is a bearish continuation zone. It occurs when the price drops, forms a base, and then continues dropping. This base reflects a pause before further downward movement. The zone may act as resistance, with sellers possibly stepping back in if the price revisits the area.
Features of Supply and Demand Indicator
Automatic Zone Detection : The indicator automatically identifies and plots RBR, DBR, RBD, and DBD zones on the chart, making it easier to see potential supply and demand areas.
Customizable Settings : Users can typically adjust the color and transparency of the zones, time frames for analysis, and zone persistence to suit different trading styles.
Visual Alerts : Many versions include alert functionalities, notifying users when price approaches a plotted supply or demand zone.
How to Use Supply and Demand in Trading
Identify High-Probability Reversal Zones : Look for DBR and RBD zones to identify potential areas where price may reverse direction.
Trade Continuations with RBR and DBD Zones : These zones can indicate strong trends, suggesting that price may continue in the same direction.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use it alongside trend indicators, volume analysis, or price action strategies to confirm potential trade entries and exits.
This indicator is particularly useful for swing and day traders who rely on price reaction zones for entering and exiting trades.

Average Up and Down Candles Streak with Predicted Next CandleThis indicator is designed to analyze price trends by examining the patterns of up and down streaks (consecutive bullish or bearish candles) over a defined period. It uses this data to provide insights on whether the next candle is likely to be bullish or bearish, and it visually displays relevant information on the chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Inputs and Parameters
Period (Candles): Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average length of bullish and bearish streaks. For example, if the period is set to 20, the indicator will analyze the past 20 candles to determine average up and down streak lengths.
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signal Toggle: These options allow users to show or hide visual signals (green or red circles) when there’s a bullish or bearish bias in the trend based on the indicator’s calculations.
2. Streak Calculation
The indicator looks at each candle within the period to identify if it closed up (bullish) or down (bearish).
Up Streak: The indicator counts consecutive bullish candles. When there’s a bearish candle, it resets the up streak count.
Down Streak: Similarly, it counts consecutive bearish candles and resets when a bullish candle appears.
Averages: Over the defined period, the indicator calculates the average length of up streaks and average length of down streaks. This provides a baseline to assess whether the current streak is typical or extended.
3. Current and Average Streak Display
The indicator displays the current up and down streak lengths alongside the average streak lengths for comparison. This data appears in a table on the chart, allowing you to see at a glance:
The current streak length (for both up and down trends)
The average streak length for up and down trends over the chosen period
4. Trend Prediction for the Next Candle
Next Candle Prediction: Based on the current streak and its comparison to the average, the indicator predicts the likely direction of the next candle:
Bullish: If the current up streak is shorter than the average up streak, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue.
Bearish: If the current down streak is shorter than the average down streak, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.
Neutral: If the current streak length is near the average, which could signal an upcoming reversal.
This prediction appears in a table on the chart, labeled as “Next Candle.”
5. Previous Candle Analysis
The Previous Candle entry in the table reflects the last completed candle (directly before the current candle) to show whether it was bullish, bearish, or neutral.
This data gives a reference point for recent price action and helps validate the next candle prediction.
6. Visual Signals and Reversal Zones
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signals: The indicator can plot green circles on bullish bias and red circles on bearish bias to highlight points where the trend is likely to continue.
Reversal Zones: If the current streak length reaches or exceeds the average, it suggests the trend may be overextended, indicating a potential reversal zone. The indicator highlights these zones with shaded backgrounds (green for possible bullish reversal, red for bearish) on the chart.
Summary of What You See on the Chart
Bullish and Bearish Bias Signals: Green or red circles mark areas of expected continuation in the trend.
Reversal Zones: Shaded areas in red or green suggest that the trend might be about to reverse.
Tables:
The Next Candle prediction table displays the trend direction of the previous candle and the likely trend of the next candle.
The Streak Information table shows the current up and down streak lengths, along with their averages for easy comparison.
Practical Use
This indicator is helpful for traders aiming to understand trend momentum and potential reversals based on historical patterns. It’s particularly useful for swing trading, where knowing the typical length of bullish or bearish trends can help in timing entries and exits.

Order Block Overlapping Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Technical analysis is a fundamental tool in financial markets, helping traders identify key areas on price charts to make informed trading decisions. The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style, developed by Michael Huddleston, is one of the most advanced methods in this field.
It enables traders to precisely identify and exploit critical zones such as Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs).
To streamline and simplify the use of these key areas, a library has been developed in Pine Script, the scripting language for the TradingView platform. This library allows you to automatically detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other similar areas, and visually display them on your chart.
This tool is particularly useful for creating indicators like Balanced Price Range (BPR) and ICT Unicorn Model.
🔵 How to Use
This section explains how to use the Pine Script library. This library assists you in easily identifying and analyzing overlapping areas between Order Blocks and other zones, such as Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps.
To add "Order Block Overlapping Drawing", you must first add the following code to your script.
import TFlab/OrderBlockOverlappingDrawing/1
🟣 Inputs
The library includes the "OBOverlappingDrawing" function, which you can use to detect and display overlapping zones. This function identifies and draws overlapping zones based on the Order Block type, trigger conditions, previous and current prices, and other relevant parameters.
🟣 Parameters
OBOverlappingDrawing(OBType , TriggerConditionOrigin, distalPrice_Pre, proximalPrice_Pre , distalPrice_Curr, proximalPrice_Curr, Index_Curr , OBValidGlobal, OBValidDis, MitigationLvL, ShowAll, Show, ColorZone) =>
OBType (string)
TriggerConditionOrigin (bool)
distalPrice_Pre (float)
proximalPrice_Pre (float)
distalPrice_Curr (float)
proximalPrice_Curr (float)
Index_Curr (int)
OBValidGlobal (bool)
OBValidDis (int)
MitigationLvL (string)
ShowAll (bool)
Show (bool)
ColorZone (color)
In this example, various parameters are defined to detect overlapping zones and draw them on the chart. Based on these settings, the overlapping areas will be automatically drawn on the chart.
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your Current order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerConditionOrigin : Input the condition under which you want the Current order block to be drawn in this parameter.
distalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Pervious "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Previous "Proximal" line.
distalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Current "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Current "Proximal" line.
Index_Curr : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the Current order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidGlobal : This parameter is a boolean in which you can enter the condition that you want to execute to stop drawing the block order. If you do not have a special condition, you should set it to True.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
MitigationLvL : This parameter is a string. Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal.
ShowAll : This is a boolean parameter, if it is "true" the entire order of blocks will be displayed, and if it is "false" only the last block order will be displayed.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🟣 Output
Mitigation Alerts : This library allows you to leverage Mitigation Alerts to detect specific conditions that could lead to trend reversals. These alerts help you react promptly in your trades, ensuring better management of market shifts.
🔵 Conclusion
The Pine Script library provided is a powerful tool for technical analysis, especially in the ICT style. It enables you to detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other significant areas like Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, improving your trading strategies. By utilizing this tool, you can perform more precise analysis and manage risks effectively in your trades.
Bitcoin Rainbow WaveBitcoin ultimate price model:
1. Power Law + 2. Rainbow Narrowing Bands + 3. Halving Cycle Harmonic Wave + 3. Wave bands
This powerful tool is designed to help traders of all levels understand and navigate the Bitcoin market. It works exclusively with BTC on any timeframe, but looks best on weekly or daily charts. The indicator provides valuable insights into historical price behavior and offers forecasts for the next decade, making it essential for both mid-term and long-term strategies.
How the Model Works
Power Law (Logarithmic Trend) : The green line represents the expected long-term price trajectory of Bitcoin based on a logarithmic regression model (power law). This suggests that Bitcoin's price generally increases as a power of 5.44 over time passed.
Rainbow Chart : Colored bands around the power law trend line illustrate a range of potential price fluctuations. The bands narrow esponentially over time, indicating increasing model accuracy as Bitcoin matures. This chart visually identifies overbought and oversold zones, as well as fair value zones.
Blue Zone : Below the power law trend, indicating an undervalued condition and a potential buying zone.
Green Zone : Around the power law trend, suggesting fair value.
Yellow Zone : Above the power law trend, but within the rainbow bands. Exercise caution, as the price may be overextended.
Red Zone : Far above the power law trend, indicating strong overbought conditions. Consider taking profits or reducing exposure.
Halving Cycle Wave : The fuchsia line represents the cyclical wave component of the model, tied to Bitcoin's halving events (approximately every four years). This wave accounts for the price fluctuations that typically occur around halvings, with price tending to increase leading up to a halving and correct afterwards. The amplitude of the wave decreases over time as the impact of halvings potentially lessens. Additional bands around the wave show the expected range of price fluctuations, aiding traders in making informed decisions.
Customizing Parameters
You can fine-tune the model's appearance by adjusting these input parameters:
show Power Law (true/false): Toggle visibility of the power law trend line.
show Wave (true/false): Toggle visibility of the halving cycle wave.
show Rainbow Chart (true/false): Toggle visibility of the rainbow bands.
show Block Marks (true/false): Toggle visibility of the 70,000 block interval markers.
Using the Model in Your Trading Strategy
Combine this indicator with technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and risk management techniques to develop a comprehensive Bitcoin trading strategy. The model can help you identify potential entry and exit points, assess market sentiment, and manage risk based on Bitcoin's position relative to the power law trend, halving cycle wave, and rainbow chart zones.
Bitcoin Wave RainbowThis Bitcoin Wave Rainbow model is a powerful tool designed to help traders of all levels understand and navigate the Bitcoin market. It works only with BTC in any timeframe, but better looks in dayly or weekly timeframes. It provides valuable insights into historical price behavior and offers forecasts for the next decade, making it an essential asset for both short-term and long-term strategies.
How the Model Works
The model is built on a logarithmic trend, also known as a power law, represented by the green line on the chart. This line illustrates the expected price trajectory of Bitcoin over time. The model also incorporates a range of price fluctuations around this trend, represented by colored bands.
The width of these bands narrows over time, indicating that the model becomes increasingly accurate as it progresses. This is due to the exponential decrease in the range of price fluctuations, making the model a reliable tool for predicting future price movements.
Understanding the Zones
Blue Zone: This zone signifies that the price is below its trend, making it a recommended area for buying Bitcoin. It represents a level where the price is unlikely to fall further, providing a potential opportunity for accumulation.
Green Zone: This zone represents a fair price range, where the price is relatively close to its trend. In this zone, the price may continue to go up or down, depending on the halving season. ransiting up around any halving and transiting down around 2 years after each halving.
Yellow Zone: This zone indicates that the price is somewhat overheated, often due to the hype following a halving event. While there may still be room for the price to rise, traders should exercise caution in this zone, as a price correction could occur.
Red Zone: This zone represents a strong overbought condition, where the price is significantly above its trend. Traders should be extremely cautious in this zone and consider reducing their positions, as the price is likely to revert back towards the trend or even lower.
Using the Model in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator can be used in conjunction with the Bitcoin Wave Model, which complements it by showing harmonic price fluctuations associated with halving events. Together, these indicators provide a comprehensive view of the Bitcoin market, allowing traders to make informed decisions based on both historical data and future projections.

In the dynamic realm of long-term investing, the DKK, SKK1, and SKK2 strategies stand as valuable pillars. These strategies, meticulously designed to assist investors in building robust portfolios, combine the power of Super Trend, RSI (Relative Strength Index), Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and their crossovers. By providing clear alerts and buy signals on a daily time frame, they equip users with the tools needed to make well-informed investment decisions and navigate the complexities of the financial markets. These strategies offer a versatile and structured approach to both conservative and aggressive investment, catering to the diverse preferences and objectives of investors.
Each part of this strategy provides a unique perspective and approach to the accumulation of assets, making it a versatile and comprehensive method for investors seeking to optimize their portfolio performance. By diligently applying this multi-faceted approach, investors can make informed decisions and effectively capitalize on potential market opportunities.
DKK Strategy for ETFs and Funds:
The DKK system is a strategy designed for accumulating ETFs and Funds as long-term investments in your portfolio. It simplifies the process of identifying trend reversals and opportune moments to invest in listed ETFs and Funds, particularly during bull markets. Here's a detailed explanation of the DKK system:
Objective: The primary aim of the DKK system is to build a long-term investment portfolio by focusing on ETFs and Funds. It facilitates the identification of stocks that are in the process of reversing their trends, allowing investors to benefit from upward price movements in these financial instruments.
Stock Selection Criteria: The DKK system employs specific criteria for selecting ETFs and Funds:
• 200EMA (Exponential Moving Average): The system monitors whether the prices of ETFs and Funds are consistently below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average. This is considered an indicator of weakness, especially on a daily time frame.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): The system looks for an RSI value of less than 40. An RSI below 40 is often seen as an indication of a weak or oversold condition in a financial instrument.
Alert Signal: Once the DKK system identifies ETFs and Funds meeting these criteria, it provides an alert signal:
• Red Upside Triangle Sign: This signal is automatically generated on the daily chart of ETFs and Funds. It serves as a clear indicator to investors that it's an opportune time to accumulate these financial instruments for long-term investment.
It's important to note that the DKK system is specifically designed for ETFs and Funds, so it should be applied to these types of investments. Additionally, it's recommended to track index ETFs and specific types of funds, such as REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and INVITs (Infrastructure Investment Trusts), in line with the DKK system's approach. This strategy simplifies the process of identifying investment opportunities within this asset class, particularly during periods of market weakness.
SKK1 Strategy for Conservative Stock Investment:
The SKK 1 system is a stock investment strategy tailored for conservative investors seeking long-term portfolio growth with a focus on stability and prudent decision-making. This strategy is meticulously designed to identify pivotal market trends and stock price movements, allowing investors to make informed choices and capitalize on upward market trends while minimizing risk. Here's a comprehensive overview of the SKK 1 system, emphasizing its suitability for conservative investors:
Objective: The primary objective of the SKK 1 system is to accumulate stocks as long-term investments in your portfolio while prioritizing capital preservation. It offers a disciplined approach to pinpointing potential entry points for stocks, particularly during market corrections and trend reversals, thereby enabling you to actively participate in bullish market phases while adopting a conservative risk management stance.
Stock Selection Criteria: The SKK 1 system employs a stringent set of criteria to select stocks for investment:
• Correction Mode: It identifies stocks that have undergone a correction, signifying a decline in stock prices from their recent highs. This conservative approach emphasizes the importance of seeking stocks with a history of stability.
• 200EMA (Exponential Moving Average): The system diligently analyses daily stock price movements, specifically looking for stocks that have fallen to or below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average. This indicator suggests potential overselling and aligns with a conservative strategy of buying low.
Trend Reversal Confirmation: The SKK 1 system doesn't merely pinpoint stocks in correction mode; it takes an extra step to confirm a trend reversal. It employs the following indicators:
• Short-term Downtrends Reversal: This aspect focuses on identifying the reversal of short-term downtrends in stock prices, observed through the transition of the super trend indicator from the red zone to the green zone. This cautious approach ensures that the trend is genuinely shifting.
• Super Trend Zones: These zones are crucial for assessing whether a stock is in a bullish or bearish trend. The system consistently monitors these zones to confirm a potential trend reversal.
Alert & Buy Signals: When the SKK 1 system identifies stocks that have reached a potential bottom and are on the verge of a trend reversal, it issues vital alert signals, aiding conservative investors in prudent decision-making:
• Orange Upside Triangle Sign: This signal serves as a cautious heads-up, indicating that a stock may be poised for a trend reversal. It advises investors to prepare funds for potential investment without taking undue risks.
• Green Upside Triangle Sign: This is the confirmation of a trend reversal, signifying a robust buy signal. Conservative investors can confidently enter the market at this point, accumulating stocks for a long-term investment, secure in the knowledge that the trend is in their favor.
In summary, the SKK 1 system is a systematic and conservative approach to stock investing. It excels in identifying stocks experiencing corrections and ensures that investors act when there's a strong indication of a trend reversal, all while prioritizing capital preservation and risk management. This strategy empowers conservative investors to navigate the intricacies of the stock market with confidence, providing a calculated and stable path toward long-term portfolio growth.
Note: The SKK1 strategy, known for its conservative approach to stock investment, also provides an option to extend its methodology to ETFs and Funds for those investors who wish to accumulate assets more aggressively. By enabling this feature in the settings, you can harness the SKK1 strategy's careful criteria and signal indicators to accumulate aggressive investments in ETFs and Funds.
This flexible approach acknowledges that even within a conservative strategy, there may be opportunities for more assertive investments in assets like ETFs and Funds. By making use of this option, you can strike a balance between a conservative stance in your stock portfolio while exploring an aggressive approach in other asset classes. It offers the versatility to cater to a variety of investment preferences, ensuring that you can adapt your strategy to suit your financial goals and risk tolerance.
SKK 2 Strategy for Aggressive Stock Investment:
The SKK 2 strategy is designed for those who are determined not to miss significant opportunities within a continuous uptrend and seek a way to enter a trend that doesn't present entry signals through the SKK 1 strategy. While it offers a more aggressive entry approach, it is ideal for individuals willing to take calculated risks to potentially reap substantial long-term rewards. This strategy is particularly suitable for accumulating stocks for aggressive long-term investment. Here's a detailed description of the SKK 2 strategy:
Objective: The primary aim of the SKK 2 strategy is to provide an avenue for investors to identify short-term trend reversals and seize the opportunity to enter stocks during an uptrend, thereby capitalizing on a sustained bull run. It acknowledges that there may not always be clear entry signals through the SKK 1 strategy and offers a more aggressive alternative.
Stock Selection Criteria: The SKK 2 strategy utilizes a specific set of criteria for stock selection:
1. 50EMA (Exponential Moving Average): It targets stocks that are trading below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average. This signals a short-term reversal from the top and indicates that the stock is in a downtrend.
2. RSI (Relative Strength Index): The strategy considers stocks with an RSI of less than 40, which is an indicator of weakness in the stock.
Alert Signals: The SKK 2 strategy provides distinct alert signals that facilitate entry during an aggressive reversal:
• Red Downside Triangle Sign: This signal is triggered when the stock is below the 50EMA and has an RSI of less than 40. It serves as a clear warning of a short-term reversal from the top and a downtrend, displayed on the daily chart.
• Purple Upside Triangle Sign: This sign is generated when a reversal occurs through a bullish candle, and the RSI is greater than 40. It signifies the stock has bottomed out from a short-term downtrend and is now reversing. This purple upside triangle serves as an entry signal on the chart, presenting an attractive opportunity to accumulate stocks during a strong bullish phase, offering a chance to seize a potentially favorable long-term investment.
In essence, the SKK 2 strategy caters to aggressive investors who are willing to take calculated risks to enter stocks during a continuous uptrend. It focuses on identifying short-term reversals and provides well-defined signals for entry. While this strategy is more aggressive in nature, it has the potential to yield substantial rewards for those who are comfortable with a higher level of risk and are looking for opportunities to build a strong long-term portfolio.

It determines the zones where the price leaves with a big candle after going horizontal for a while as support or resistance zones according to the price movement direction. while doing this, it compares the size of the candles and the elapsed time.
how to use it?
Red zones represent resistance and green zones represent support. You can buy in the support zone or sell in the resistance zone. my advice is to make your own interpretation by taking into account the price movement with different indicators. they are considered useful if there is a closure beyond the zones. otherwise, they continue to be shifted to the right.
notice: As new zones are created, old ones may disappear. so it might be wise to draw boxes using drawing tools where the old zones are.
Support and resistance are very important concepts for technical analysis. so I am thinking of updating and improving this indicator many times in the long run. but I couldn't wait long to post it.
examples:
Trend ChannelMarket engineers can use channels to find out when a market has entered an undervalued or overvalued zone. Purchases and sales take place in these zones. Professionals use trending channels to find out when the market has overtaken itself and where it is likely to reverse.
Upper channel line = EMA + EMA x channel coefficient
Lower channel line = EMA - EMA x channel coefficient
The topline reflects the bulls' strength in raising prices above the average value consensus. This line marks the normal limit of optimism in the market.
The bottom line of the channel reflects the strength of the bears pushing prices below the average consensus of values. This line marks the normal limit of pessimism in the market.
The coefficient is used to correct the distance to the moving average until the channel contains 95% of all prices. Only the tips and the lowest bottoms are allowed to protrude. For these peaks and curves and sideways trends, I have added two more switchable lines to the border lines, with a distance of 23.6% (light blue).
The larger the time frame, the wider the channel.
If you buy near a rising moving average, you take profits near the upper line of the channel.
If you are short near a falling moving average, you should close out near the bottom of the channel.
If the moving average is essentially flat, then you should be long on the bottom of the channel and short on the top of the channel. You realize profits when the prices have returned to their moving average to normal.
Interesting for day traders:
Adjust the moving average so that it has the same slope as the quotes on the hourly chart. With the coefficient you set the distance between the border lines. Perhaps adding the 23.6% lines will help, where the sideways trends are starting. Set the resolution to "1 hour". If you want to trade with these settings in short time units, e.g. in the 3 minute chart or in the 1 minute chart, then you now have target marks and indications in which direction the prices will possibly move when the prices have reached the moving average or one of the border lines.

The indicator has an additional exponential moving average with adjustable period, adjustable shift and adjustable source for the narrow range of quotations and final determination of direction.
The chart shows how the trend channel and the Fibonacc trading indicator can complement each other.

Markttechniker können Kanäle verwenden um heraus zu finden, wann ein Markt eine unterbewertete oder überbewertete Zone erreicht hat. An diesen Zonen finden Käufe und Verkäufe statt. Profis benutzen Trendkanäle um herauszufinden, wann der Markt sich selbst überholt hat und wo er wahrscheinlich eine Umkehrbewegung vollziehen wird.
Obere Kanallinie = EMA + EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Untere Kanallinie = EMA - EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Die Oberlinie reflektiert die Kraft der Bullen, mit der sie die Kurse über den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens anheben. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Optimismus im Markt.
Die untere Linie des Kanals reflektiert die Kraft der Bären, mit der sie die Kurse unter den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens drücken. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Pessimismus im Markt.
Mit dem Koeffizienten wird der Abstand zum gleitenden Durchschnitt so lange korrigiert, bis der Kanal 95% aller Kurse enthält. Lediglich die Spitzen und die niedrigsten Böden dürfen herausragen. Für diese Spitzen und Bögen und Seitwärtstrends habe ich zu den Grenzlinien zwei weitere zuschaltbare Linien, mit einem Abstand von 23,6%, hinzugefügt (hellblau).
Je größer der Zeitrahmen ist, um so breiter ist der Kanal.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines ansteigenden gleitenden Durchschnitts kaufen, nehmen Sie die Gewinne in der Nähe der oberen Grenzlinie des Kanals mit.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines fallenden gleitenden Durchschnitts leerverkaufen, sollten Sie in der Nähe der unteren Grenzlinie des Kanals glattstellen.
Wenn der gleitende Durchschnitt im Wesentlichen flach ist, dann sollten Sie an der unteren Kanalbegrenzung eine Long-Position und an der oberen Kanalbegrenzung eine Short-Position einnehmen. Gewinne realisieren Sie jeweils, wenn die Kurse zu ihrem gleitenden Durchschnitt, zur Normalität zurückgekehrt sind.
Für Daytrader interessant:
Stellen Sie den gleitenden Durchschnitt so ein, dass er die gleiche Steigung wie die Notierungen im Stunden-Chart hat. Mit dem Koeffizienten Stellen Sie den Abstand der Grenzlinien ein. Vielleicht hilft die Zuschaltung der 23,6%-Linien, wo die Seitwärtstrends anstoßen. Stellen Sie die Auflösung auf „1 Stunde“. Wenn Sie mit diesen Einstellungen in niedrigen Zeiteinheiten traden wollen, z.B. im 3 Minuten-Chart oder im 1 Minuten-Chart, dann haben Sie jetzt Zielmarken und Hinweise in welche Richtung die Notierungen möglicherweise laufen werden, wenn die Notierungen den gleitenden Durchschnitt oder eine der Grenzlinien erreicht haben.
Der Text enthält Auszüge aus „Come into my Trading Room“ von Dr. Alexander Elder.
Der Indikator besitzt zur engen Umfang der Notierungen und endgültigen Richtungsbestimmung einen zusätzlichen exponentiellen gleitenden Durchschnitt mit einstellbarer Periode, einstellbarer Verschiebung und einstellbarer Quelle.
Der Chart zeigt wie sich Trendkanal und Fibonacc-Trading-Indikator ergänzen könne.

Universal Global SessionUniversal Global Session
This Script combines the world sessions of: Stocks, Forex, Bitcoin Kill Zones, strategic points, all configurable, in a single Script, to capitalize the opening and closing times of global exchanges as investment assets, becoming an Universal Global Session .
It is based on the great work of @oscarvs ( BITCOIN KILL ZONES v2 ) and the scripts of @ChrisMoody. Thank you Oscar and Chris for your excellent judgment and great work.
At the end of this writing you can find all the internet references of the extensive documentation that I present here. To maximize your benefits in the use of this Script, I recommend that you read the entire document to create an objective and practical criterion.
All the hours of the different exchanges are presented at GMT -6. In Market24hClock you can adjust it to your preferences.
After a deep investigation I have been able to show that the different world sessions reveal underlying investment cycles, where it is possible to find sustained changes in the nominal behavior of the trend before the passage from one session to another and in the natural overlaps between the sessions. These underlying movements generally occur 15 minutes before the start, close or overlap of the session, when the session properly starts and also 15 minutes after respectively. Therefore, this script is designed to highlight these particular trending behaviors. Try it, discover your own conclusions and let me know in the notes, thank you.
Foreign Exchange Market Hours
It is the schedule by which currency market participants can buy, sell, trade and speculate on currencies all over the world. It is open 24 hours a day during working days and closes on weekends, thanks to the fact that operations are carried out through a network of information systems, instead of physical exchanges that close at a certain time. It opens Monday morning at 8 am local time in Sydney —Australia— (which is equivalent to Sunday night at 7 pm, in New York City —United States—, according to Eastern Standard Time), and It closes at 5pm local time in New York City (which is equivalent to 6am Saturday morning in Sydney).
The Forex market is decentralized and driven by local sessions, where the hours of Forex trading are based on the opening range of each active country, becoming an efficient transfer mechanism for all participants. Four territories in particular stand out: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, where the highest volume of operations occurs when the sessions in London and New York overlap. Furthermore, Europe is complemented by major financial centers such as Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Each day of forex trading begins with the opening of Australia, then Asia, followed by Europe, and finally North America. As markets in one region close, another opens - or has already opened - and continues to trade in the currency market. The seven most traded currencies in the world are: the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.
Currencies are needed around the world for international trade, this means that operations are not dominated by a single exchange market, but rather involve a global network of brokers from around the world, such as banks, commercial companies, central banks, companies investment management, hedge funds, as well as retail forex brokers and global investors. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except during the weekend, therefore, there is continuously at least one open market and there are some hours of overlap between the closing of the market of one region and the opening of another. The international scope of currency trading means that there are always traders around the world making and satisfying demands for a particular currency.
The market involves a global network of exchanges and brokers from around the world, although time zones overlap, the generally accepted time zone for each region is as follows:
Sydney 5pm to 2am EST (10pm to 7am UTC)
London 3am to 12 noon EST (8pm to 5pm UTC)
New York 8am to 5pm EST (1pm to 10pm UTC)
Tokyo 7pm to 4am EST (12am to 9am UTC)
Trading Session
A financial asset trading session refers to a period of time that coincides with the daytime trading hours for a given location, it is a business day in the local financial market. This may vary according to the asset class and the country, therefore operators must know the hours of trading sessions for the securities and derivatives in which they are interested in trading. If investors can understand market hours and set proper targets, they will have a much greater chance of making a profit within a workable schedule.
Kill Zones
Kill zones are highly liquid events. Many different market participants often come together and perform around these events. The activity itself can be event-driven (margin calls or option exercise-related activity), portfolio management-driven (asset allocation rebalancing orders and closing buy-in), or institutionally driven (larger players needing liquidity to complete the size) or a combination of any of the three. This intense cross-current of activity at a very specific point in time often occurs near significant technical levels and the established trends emerging from these events often persist until the next Death Zone approaches or enters.
Kill Zones are evolving with time and the course of world history. Since the end of World War II, New York has slowly invaded London's place as the world center for commercial banking. So much so that during the latter part of the 20th century, New York was considered the new center of the financial universe. With the end of the cold war, that leadership appears to have shifted towards Europe and away from the United States. Furthermore, Japan has slowly lost its former dominance in the global economic landscape, while Beijing's has increased dramatically. Only time will tell how these death zones will evolve given the ever-changing political, economic, and socioeconomic influences of each region.
Financial Markets
New York
New York (NYSE Chicago, NASDAQ)
7:30 am - 2:00 pm
It is the second largest currency platform in the world, followed largely by foreign investors as it participates in 90% of all operations, where movements on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) can have an immediate effect (powerful) on the dollar, for example, when companies merge and acquisitions are finalized, the dollar can instantly gain or lose value.
A. Complementary Stock Exchanges
Brazil (BOVESPA - Brazilian Stock Exchange)
07:00 am - 02:55 pm
Canada (TSX - Toronto Stock Exchange)
07:30 am - 02:00 pm
New York (NYSE - New York Stock Exchange)
08:30 am - 03:00 pm
B. North American Trading Session
07:00 am - 03:00 pm
(from the beginning of the business day on NYSE and NASDAQ, until the end of the New York session)
New York, Chicago and Toronto (Canada) open the North American session. Characterized by the most aggressive trading within the markets, currency pairs show high volatility. As the US markets open, trading is still active in Europe, however trading volume generally decreases with the end of the European session and the overlap between the US and Europe.
C. Strategic Points
US main session starts in 1 hour
07:30 am
The euro tends to drop before the US session. The NYSE, CHX and TSX (Canada) trading sessions begin 1 hour after this strategic point. The North American session begins trading Forex at 07:00 am.
This constitutes the beginning of the overlap of the United States and the European market that spans from 07:00 am to 10:35 am, often called the best time to trade EUR / USD, it is the period of greatest liquidity for the main European currencies since it is where they have their widest daily ranges.
When New York opens at 07:00 am the most intense trading begins in both the US and European markets. The overlap of European and American trading sessions has 80% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during US business hours and 70% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during European business hours. The intersection of the US and European sessions are the most volatile overlapping hours of all.
Influential news and data for the USD are released between 07:30 am and 09:00 am and play the biggest role in the North American Session. These are the strategically most important moments of this activity period: 07:00 am, 08:00 am and 08:30 am.
The main session of operations in the United States and Canada begins
08:30 am
Start of main trading sessions in New York, Chicago and Toronto. The European session still overlaps the North American session and this is the time for large-scale unpredictable trading. The United States leads the market. It is difficult to interpret the news due to speculation. Trends develop very quickly and it is difficult to identify them, however trends (especially for the euro), which have developed during the overlap, often turn the other way when Europe exits the market.
Second hour of the US session and last hour of the European session
09:30 am
End of the European session
10:35 am
The trend of the euro will change rapidly after the end of the European session.
Last hour of the United States session
02:00 pm
Institutional clients and very large funds are very active during the first and last working hours of almost all stock exchanges, knowing this allows to better predict price movements in the opening and closing of large markets. Within the last trading hours of the secondary market session, a pullback can often be seen in the EUR / USD that continues until the opening of the Tokyo session. Generally it happens if there was an upward price movement before 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm.
End of the trade session in the United States
03:00 pm
D. Kill Zones
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
New York Kill Zone. The United States is still the world's largest economy, so by default, the New York opening carries a lot of weight and often comes with a huge injection of liquidity. In fact, most of the world's marketable assets are priced in US dollars, making political and economic activity within this region even more important. Because it is relatively late in the world's trading day, this Death Zone often sees violent price swings within its first hour, leading to the proven adage "never trust the first hour of trading in America. North.

London
London (LSE - London Stock Exchange)
02:00 am - 10:35 am
Britain dominates the currency markets around the world, and London is its main component. London, a central trading capital of the world, accounts for about 43% of world trade, many Forex trends often originate from London.

02:00 am - 11:00 am
(from the opening of the Frankfurt session to the close of the Order Book on the London Stock Exchange / Euronext)
It is a very liquid trading session, where trends are set that start during the first trading hours in Europe and generally continue until the beginning of the US session.
C. Middle East Trading Session
12:00 am - 06:00 am
(from the opening of the Dubai session to the end of the Riyadh session)
D. Strategic Points

London, Frankfurt and Zurich Stock Exchange enter the market, overlap between Europe and Asia begins.
End of the Singapore and Asia sessions
03:00 am
The euro rises almost immediately or an hour after Singapore exits the market.
Middle East Oil Markets Completion Process
05:00 am
Operations are ending in the European-Asian market, at which time Dubai, Qatar and in another hour in Riyadh, which constitute the Middle East oil markets, are closing. Because oil trading is done in US dollars, and the region with the trading day coming to an end no longer needs the dollar, consequently, the euro tends to grow more frequently.
End of the Middle East trading session
06:00 am
E. Kill Zones
5:00 am - 7:00 am
London Kill Zone. Considered the center of the financial universe for more than 500 years, Europe still has a lot of influence in the banking world. Many older players use the European session to establish their positions. As such, the London Open often sees the most significant trend-setting activity on any trading day. In fact, it has been suggested that 80% of all weekly trends are set through the London Kill Zone on Tuesday.
F. Kill Zones (close)
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
London Kill Zone (close).

Tokyo
Tokyo (JPX - Tokyo Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
It is the first Asian market to open, receiving most of the Asian trade, just ahead of Hong Kong and Singapore.
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
Singapore (SGX - Singapore Exchange)
07:00 pm - 03:00 am
Hong Kong (HKEx - Hong Kong Stock Exchange)

India (NSE - India National Stock Exchange)
09:45 pm - 04:00 am
B. Asian Trading Session
06:00 pm - 03:00 am
From the opening of the Tokyo session to the end of the Singapore session
The first major Asian market to open is Tokyo which has the largest market share and is the third largest Forex trading center in the world. Singapore opens in an hour, and then the Chinese markets: Shanghai and Hong Kong open 30 minutes later. With them, the trading volume increases and begins a large-scale operation in the Asia-Pacific region, offering more liquidity for the Asian-Pacific currencies and their crosses. When European countries open their doors, more liquidity will be offered to Asian and European crossings.
C. Strategic Points
Second hour of the Tokyo session
07:00 pm
This session also opens the Singapore market. The commercial dynamics grows in anticipation of the opening of the two largest Chinese markets in 30 minutes: Shanghai and Hong Kong, within these 30 minutes or just before the China session begins, the euro usually falls until the same moment of the opening of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Second hour of the China session
08:30 pm
Hong Kong and Shanghai start trading and the euro usually grows for more than an hour. The EUR / USD pair mixes up as Asian exporters convert part of their earnings into both US dollars and euros.
Last hour of the Tokyo session
11:00 pm
End of the Tokyo session
12:00 am
If the euro has been actively declining up to this time, China will raise the euro after the Tokyo shutdown. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore remain open and take matters into their own hands causing the growth of the euro. Asia is a huge commercial and industrial region with a large number of high-quality economic products and gigantic financial turnover, making the number of transactions on the stock exchanges huge during the Asian session. That is why traders, who entered the trade at the opening of the London session, should pay attention to their terminals when Asia exits the market.
End of the Shanghai session
01:00 am
The trade ends in Shanghai. This is the last trading hour of the Hong Kong session, during which market activity peaks.
D. Kill Zones
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Asian Kill Zone. Considered the "Institutional" Zone, this zone represents both the launch pad for new trends as well as a recharge area for the post-American session. It is the beginning of a new day (or week) for the world and as such it makes sense that this zone often sets the tone for the remainder of the global business day. It is ideal to pay attention to the opening of Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney.

Sidney
Sydney (ASX - Australia Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
New Zealand (NZX - New Zealand Stock Exchange)
04:00 pm - 10:45 pm
It's where the global trading day officially begins. While it is the smallest of the megamarkets, it sees a lot of initial action when markets reopen Sunday afternoon as individual traders and financial institutions are trying to regroup after the long hiatus since Friday afternoon. On weekdays it constitutes the end of the current trading day where the change in the settlement date occurs.
B. Pacific Trading Session
04:00 pm - 12:00 am
(from the opening of the Wellington session to the end of the Sydney session)
Forex begins its business hours when Wellington (New Zealand Exchange) opens local time on Monday. Sydney (Australian Stock Exchange) opens in 2 hours. It is a session with a fairly low volatility, configuring itself as the calmest session of all. Strong movements appear when influential news is published and when the Pacific session overlaps the Asian Session.
C. Strategic Points
End of the Sydney session
12:00 am
---------------
Conclusions
The best time to trade is during overlaps in trading times between open markets. Overlaps equate to higher price ranges, creating greater opportunities.
Regarding press releases (news), it should be noted that these in the currency markets have the power to improve a normally slow trading period. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, especially when it goes against the predicted forecast, the coin can lose or gain value in a matter of seconds. In general, the more economic growth a country produces, the more positive the economy is for international investors. Investment capital tends to flow to countries that are believed to have good growth prospects and subsequently good investment opportunities, leading to the strengthening of the country's exchange rate. Also, a country that has higher interest rates through its government bonds tends to attract investment capital as foreign investors seek high-yield opportunities. However, stable economic growth and attractive yields or interest rates are inextricably intertwined. It's important to take advantage of market overlaps and keep an eye out for press releases when setting up a trading schedule.

Liquidity Trap Detector Pro [PyraTime]The Problem: Why You Get Stopped Out
90% of retail traders place their stop-losses at obvious swing highs and lows. Institutional algorithms ("Smart Money") are programmed to push price through these levels to trigger liquidity, fill their heavy orders, and then immediately reverse the market.
If you have ever had your stop hit right before the market moves exactly where you predicted—you were the victim of a Liquidity Trap.
The Solution: Visualizing the "Stop Hunt"
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro is not just a support/resistance indicator. It is a comprehensive Reversal Scoring Engine.
Unlike standard indicators that spam signals on every wick, this tool uses a proprietary 5-Star Scoring System to analyze the quality of the trap. It validates every signal using Wick Symmetry, RSI Divergence, and Volume Analysis to separate a true reversal from a trend continuation.
Key Features (USP)
- 5-Star Scoring Engine: Every signal is rated from 1 to 5 stars. Stop guessing if a signal is valid; let the algorithm check the confluence for you.
- Glassmorphism Visuals: Gone are the messy lines. We use modern, semi-transparent "Liquidity Zones" that keep your chart clean and professional.
- Smart Terminology: Automatically identifies Bull Traps (Buyers trapped at highs) and Bear Traps (Sellers trapped at lows).
- Heads-Up Display (HUD): A professional dashboard monitors the market state, active filters, and recent trap statistics in real-time.
- Strict Non-Repainting: (Technical Note) This script uses strict non-repainting logic. All Higher Timeframe (HTF) data is confirmed and closed before a signal is generated, ensuring historical accuracy.
---
Tutorial: How to Trade This Indicator
1. Understanding the Signals
We use correct institutional terminology to describe the market mechanics:
GREEN Signal (BEAR TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing Low, enticing sellers (Bears) to enter. The candle then reversed and closed back inside the range, trapping those sellers.
- The Trade: This is a Bullish Reversal setup (Long).
RED Signal (BULL TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing High, enticing buyers (Bulls) to breakout. The candle reversed and closed lower, trapping the buyers.
- The Trade: This is a Bearish Reversal setup (Short).
2. The 5-Star Scoring System
Not all traps are created equal. The stars tell you how much "Confluence" exists:
- 1 Star: A basic structure sweep. Risky.
- 3 Stars: A solid setup backed by either Volume or Divergence.
- 5 Stars: The "Perfect" Trap. Structure Sweep + RSI Divergence + Volume Spike + Wick Symmetry. High Probability.
3. The Strategy
- Wait for the Zone: Watch price approach a coloured Liquidity Zone.
- Observe the Reaction: Do not trade blindly. Wait for the candle to close.
- Check the Stars: Look for at least 3 Stars before considering an entry.
- Confirm with HUD: Glance at the Dashboard to ensure the "RSI Filter" and "Vol Filter" agree with your analysis.
---
Settings Guide
Structure Settings:
- Pivot Lookback: Adjusts how sensitive the zones are (Default: 10/5).
- HTF Confirmation: Optional filter to only show traps that align with Higher Timeframe structure (e.g., 1H or 4H).
Quality Filters:
- RSI Divergence: Requires momentum to disagree with price (classic reversal sign).
- Volume Spike: Requires volume to be higher than average (Smart Money footprint).
Visuals:
- Clean Mode: A presenter-favorite feature. Hides all historical zones and leaves only the active setup—perfect for taking screenshots or sharing analysis.
Disclaimer
This tool is designed to assist with technical analysis and identifying potential areas of interest. It does not guarantee profits. Trading involves significant risk; always use proper risk management.
Pivot Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Pivot Levels indicator automatically detects and draws key market pivot levels across multiple sensitivity settings. Each pivot level represents a significant local high or low in price structure, acting as potential zones of support and resistance. Traders can visualize short-, medium-, and long-term pivot layers simultaneously, helping to identify where price may react, reverse, or break out.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Different pivot lengths provide multi-length sensitivity on the same timeframe — shorter lengths detect local micro-swings, while longer lengths capture broader swing structure within the current chart.
ATR-based color logic marks active, bullish, or bearish pivot zones dynamically.
Lines can extend to the right or both sides to track reactions over time.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects up to four custom pivot levels simultaneously.
Each pivot level has independent settings for length , style , and extension mode .
Auto-colors each pivot as support (green), resistance (orange), or active zone (blue).
Displays dual-width line layers: a solid base and a transparent overlay for visual depth.
Dynamic price labels show exact pivot levels for clarity.
Fully customizable line styles: dashed (--), solid (-), or dotted (..).
Extends lines to the right for future reaction tracking or both directions for structure alignment.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Enable or disable pivot levels (1–4) to control how many layers of structure you want visible.
Use shorter pivot lengths for intraday turning points and longer ones for macro structure.
Watch for multiple pivot lines clustering in the same region — these often mark strong reversal zones.
Observe color changes: green = support, orange = resistance, blue = active neutral zone.
Combine with price action or volume analysis to confirm reactions near major pivots.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Pivot Levels indicator provides a clean, multi-layered visualization of market structure.
By tracking pivots of varying lengths, traders can easily identify overlapping support and resistance regions, gauge breakout strength, and align trades with the dominant structural zones visible across multiple time horizons.
Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0 - Complete Trading Guide
Overview
This indicator combines W.D. Gann's time-tested principles of market geometry with modern technical analysis. It identifies key market structures and projects precise support/resistance levels along with angular momentum lines to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities.
________________________________________
Core Concepts
1. Gann's Octave Division (The Rule of 8)
W.D. Gann discovered that markets move in harmonic divisions based on the number 8. This indicator divides any swing movement into 8 equal parts (octaves):
• 0% - Swing extreme (High for bearish, Low for bullish)
• 12.5% - First octave
• 25% - Quarter level
• 37.5% - Three-eighths level
• 50% - Midpoint (most critical level)
• 62.5% - Five-eighths level
• 75% - Three-quarter level
• 87.5% - Seventh octave
• 100% - Swing extreme (opposite end)
Why 8? Gann believed natural market cycles follow mathematical harmonics. The octave division provides precise entry and exit points that frequently act as support/resistance zones.
2. Gann Angles (Price-Time Relationship)
Gann angles represent the relationship between price movement and time. Each angle shows different momentum levels:
• 1x1 (Black) - 45° angle, perfect balance between price and time. Most important Gann angle. Represents the natural trend line.
• 2x1 (Red) - Steeper angle, 2 units of price per 1 unit of time. Shows strong momentum.
• 1x2 (Red) - Flatter angle, 1 unit of price per 2 units of time. Shows weak momentum.
• 4x1 & 1x4 (Blue) - Even more extreme angles indicating very strong or very weak trends.
• 8x1 & 1x8 (Orange) - Most extreme angles, parabolic moves or complete consolidation.
Key Principle: When price is above the 1x1 angle = bullish. Below 1x1 = bearish. When price crosses from one angle to another, it signals a change in momentum.
________________________________________
How the Indicator Works
Structure Detection
The indicator automatically identifies market swings using pivot points:
1. Bullish Structure (Green): Detected when price makes a higher high
o Octave levels calculated from swing low (0%) to swing high (100%)
o Gann angles project upward from the swing low
2. Bearish Structure (Red): Detected when price makes a lower low
o Octave levels calculated from swing high (0%) to swing low (100%)
o Gann angles project downward from the swing high
Dynamic Updates
• Swing Tracker ON: Levels update continuously as the swing evolves
• Swing Tracker OFF: Levels lock at the initial swing detection (cleaner charts)
Historical Structures
The indicator maintains previous swing structures based on "Number of Swings to Show":
• Set to 1: Only current structure (cleanest)
• Set to 2-3: Current + recent history (recommended for context)
• Set to 4+: Multiple historical structures (may overlap but shows pattern)

Trading Strategy
Entry Signals
BUY SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up ▲)
Signal 1: Bounce from Support Levels
• Price drops to 0%, 50%, or 100% level and reverses
• Best when combined with bullish candlestick pattern (hammer, engulfing)
• Entry: On signal confirmation

Advanced Trading Techniques
1. The 50% Rule (Most Powerful)
The 50% octave level is the most critical in Gann theory:
• In Uptrend: Price should not break below 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go long.
• In Downtrend: Price should not break above 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go short.
• Reversal: Breaking and closing beyond 50% often signals trend reversal.
2. Gann Angle Confluence
When multiple Gann angles converge with octave levels = HIGH probability zone:
• Look for price to bounce or reverse at these zones
• Example: 1x2 angle meets 50% level = strong support/resistance
• These zones often become pivot points
3. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
• Use higher timeframe (daily) for major structure
• Use lower timeframe (5min, 15min) for precise entries
• Take trades when both timeframes align
4. Swing Failure Pattern
• Price breaks a key level (e.g., 50%) but quickly reverses back
• This "false breakout" often leads to strong move in opposite direction
• Wait for signal in the reversal direction

Common Patterns to Watch
Bullish Reversal Setup
1. Price in bearish structure (red levels)
2. Price drops to 100% level (swing low)
3. Buy signal appears (green triangle)
4. Price breaks back above 50% level
5. Action: Go long with stop below 100%
Bearish Reversal Setup
1. Price in bullish structure (green levels)
2. Price rises to 100% level (swing high)
3. Sell signal appears (red triangle)
4. Price breaks back below 50% level
5. Action: Go short with stop above 100%
Trend Continuation
1. Price respects 1x1 Gann angle
2. Small pullback to 25% or 37.5% level
3. Buy/sell signal appears
4. Action: Enter in trend direction

Final Words
This indicator is a powerful tool, but remember:
"The market is never wrong. Opinions are." - W.D. Gann
• No indicator is 100% accurate
• Always combine with price action and volume
• Backtest on your instrument and timeframe
• Keep learning and adapting your strategy
• Discipline and risk management are more important than the perfect setup
Happy Trading! 📈
Market Efficiency Ratio [Interakktive]The Market Efficiency Ratio decomposes price movement into two components: net progress vs wasted movement. This tool exposes the underlying math that most traders never see, helping you understand when price is moving efficiently versus chopping sideways.
Unlike simple trend indicators, this shows you WHY price movement matters — not just whether it's up or down, but how much of that movement was useful directional progress versus noisy oscillation.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Calculates Efficiency Ratio (0–1 or 0–100) measuring directional progress
• Exposes Net Displacement (how far price actually moved)
• Exposes Path Length (total distance price traveled)
• Calculates Chop Cost (wasted movement)
• Visual zones for high/mid/low efficiency states
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO signals, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell
• NO performance claims
• NO predictions — purely diagnostic
• This is a tool for understanding price behavior
█ HOW IT WORKS
The efficiency ratio answers one question: "Of all the movement price made, how much was useful progress?"
🔹 THE MATH
Over a lookback period of N bars:
Net Displacement = |Close - Close |
Path Length = Σ |Close - Close | for all bars
Efficiency Ratio = Net Displacement / Path Length
🔹 INTERPRETATION
• Efficiency = 1.0 (100%): Price moved in a straight line — every tick was progress
• Efficiency = 0.5 (50%): Half the movement was wasted in back-and-forth chop
• Efficiency = 0.0 (0%): Price ended exactly where it started — all movement was noise
🔹 CHOP COST
This is the "wasted movement" — how much price traveled without making progress:
Chop Cost = Path Length - Net Displacement
Chop % = Chop Cost / Path Length
High chop cost means lots of effort for little result — a warning sign for trend traders.
█ VISUAL GUIDE
Three efficiency zones:
• GREEN (≥70): High efficiency — strong directional movement
• YELLOW (30-70): Mixed efficiency — some progress, some chop
• RED (<30): Low efficiency — mostly noise, little progress
█ INPUTS
Lookback Length (default: 14)
Number of bars to calculate efficiency over. Higher values produce smoother readings but respond slower to changes.
Smoothing Length (default: 5)
EMA smoothing applied to the output. Reduces noise in the efficiency reading.
Apply Smoothing (default: true)
Toggle EMA smoothing on/off.
Scale Mode (default: 0–100)
Display as percentage (0-100) or decimal ratio (0-1).
Show Reference Bands (default: true)
Display the high/low efficiency threshold lines.
Low/High Efficiency Level (default: 30/70)
Thresholds for classifying efficiency zones.
Overlay Effect (default: None)
• None: No overlay
• Background Tint: Subtle chart background color in high/low zones
• Bar Highlight: Color bars during low efficiency periods
Show Data Window Values (default: true)
Export all raw values (Net Displacement, Path Length, Efficiency, Chop Cost, Chop %) to the data window for analysis.
█ USE CASES
This indicator helps traders understand:
• Why some trends are "clean" and others are "messy"
• When price is consolidating vs trending (without using volume)
• The relationship between movement and progress
• Why high-chop environments are difficult to trade
This is the foundational concept behind more advanced regime detection systems.
