ATR/ADR Support and Resistance LevelsATR/ADR Support and Resistance Levels Indicator
This script is designed to provide traders with precise ATR (Average True Range) and ADR (Average Daily Range) support and resistance levels. It can be effectively used to identify price breakouts or rejections near these critical lines and assist in confirming trend retests.
How It Works:
Support and Resistance Lines: The script plots ATR/ADR-based support and resistance lines, which can be toggled on or off.
Daily Data Integration: It incorporates daily open and close prices to enhance the accuracy of the support and resistance levels.
Clear Visuals: The indicator uses distinct colors for support (green) and resistance (red) levels, providing clear visual cues.
Default Settings: The default settings are optimized for most trading environments. Adjusting the ATR/ADR Length can fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness to market movements.
Key Features:
ATR & ADR Calculation: Choose between using ATR, ADR, or both. ATR is recommended for most scenarios.
Customizable Lengths: Adjust the ATR/ADR Length to refine the average calculation to your preference, with 14 being the standard value.
EMA for Market Bias: The EMA helps determine the ticker bias. It is colored green when the market is above the average price and red when it is below. This allows you to more easily determine whether or not the ADR/ATR levels are valid.
Versatile Usage: Suitable for various trading types, ensuring broad applicability across different market conditions.
How to Use:
ATR vs ADR: You should use ADR if you are day trading AND do not want to include gap data in the levels. It is recommended you use ATR.
Bounces off Levels: When price bounces off of a support/resistance level, it is very likely that price will respect this level. This indicates that price is unlikely to move beyond the ticker's average volatility. You should wait for an additional bounce to confirm.
Breakthroughs of Levels: When price breaks through a support/resistance level, it is very likely that price will continue beyond this level. This indicates that price has moved beyond that ticker's average volatility. You should wait for a bounce off the level to confirm.
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to enhance their technical analysis with support and resistance levels based on ATR and ADR calculations. It is perfect for identifying key price points and understanding market trends.

Day trading volume based levels by VhatkarThis script identifies dynamic support and resistance levels based on volume and price action analysis. It uses a unique algorithm that combines volume force calculations with pivot points to determine key levels where price is likely to react.
Originality and Usefulness :
Innovative Volume Force Calculation : The script calculates upforce and downforce based on volume and price movement, providing a novel insight into buying and selling pressure. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this approach offers a more nuanced understanding of market dynamics.
Dynamic Pivot Points : Pivot points are dynamically adjusted based on volume force and highest high calculations, unlike conventional static pivot points. This makes the levels more responsive to real-time market conditions, offering traders a competitive edge.
Adaptive Target Levels : The script sets target and stop prices for both long and short positions, with adjustable percentages based on the chosen timeframe. This feature is particularly useful for day traders looking for precise entry and exit points.
Unique Timeframe Adjustments : The script includes specific adjustments for different timeframes (e.g., 15m, 30m, 60m), optimizing the support and resistance levels for day trading strategies. This adaptability is not commonly found in existing open-source scripts.
Volume-Weighted Adjustments : The integration of VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) into the volume force calculation adds an extra layer of accuracy, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Comprehensive Visual Representation : The script offers clear visual plots of entry, target, and stop levels, along with color-coded fill areas that indicate different target zones. This visual clarity enhances user experience and decision-making.
Unique Features Compared to Open-Source Scripts :
Advanced Volume Force Algorithm : While many open-source scripts rely solely on price action or basic volume indicators, this script integrates a sophisticated volume force algorithm. This unique approach allows traders to identify more accurate support and resistance levels based on real market activity.
Dynamic and Adaptive Pivot Points : Unlike traditional open-source scripts that use static pivot points, this script dynamically adjusts pivot points based on the highest high and volume force. This dynamic adjustment provides a more precise and adaptable analysis suitable for various market conditions.
Integrated VWAP Calculation : Incorporating VWAP into volume force calculations adds an extra dimension of accuracy, allowing for more reliable trading signals. This feature differentiates the script from simpler open-source alternatives that may not include such advanced calculations.
How to Use :
Apply the Script : Add the "Vhatkar Dynamic S/R Levels" script to your chart. Make sure your chart has volume data as the script relies on volume calculations.
Select Timeframe : The script is designed for day trading timeframes such as 5m, 15m, and 30m. Ensure you are using one of these timeframes for optimal performance.
Adjust Parameters :
Target Lines : Set the number of target lines using the SLRange input. Increase the count if fewer lines are visible or decrease if too many lines are cluttering the chart.
Interpreting Signals :
Long Entries : When the close price is above the pivot point, the script plots potential long entry points and target levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) as well as a stop-loss level.
Short Entries : When the close price is below the pivot point, the script plots potential short entry points and target levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) as well as a stop-loss level.
Visual Aids : Use the color-coded fill areas to quickly identify target zones and stop levels.
Trade Management : Utilize the plotted entry, target, and stop levels to manage your trades. Adjust your trading strategy based on the levels provided by the script.
Usage :
Designed for day trading on timeframes such as 5m, 15m, and 30m.
Provides clear visual plots of entry, target, and stop levels.
Offers flexibility with adjustable parameters to suit different trading styles.
RSI Trail [UAlgo]The RSI Trail indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in making informed decisions by utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and various moving average calculations. This indicator dynamically plots support and resistance levels based on RSI values, providing visual cues for potential bullish and bearish signals. The inclusion of a trailing stop mechanism allows traders to adapt to market volatility, ensuring optimal entry and exit points.
🔶 Key Features
Multiple Moving Average Types: Choose from Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Running Moving Average (RMA), and McGinley Dynamic for diverse analytical approaches.
Configurable RSI Bounds: Tailor the RSI lower and upper bounds to your specific trading preferences, with default settings at 40 and 60.
Signals: The indicator determines bullish and bearish market states and plots corresponding signals on the chart.
Customizable Visualization: Options to display the midline and color candles based on market state enhance visual analysis.
Alerts: Integrated alert conditions notify you of bullish and bearish signals.
🔶 Calculations
The RSI Trail indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using a combination of moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It starts by computing a chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or McGinley) over a period of 27 using the typical price (ohlc4).
The indicator then defines upper and lower bounds based on customizable RSI levels (default 40 and 60) and adjusts these bounds using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility. The upper bound is calculated by adding a volatility-adjusted value to the moving average, while the lower bound is found by subtracting this value. Bullish signals occur when the price crosses above the upper bound, and bearish signals when it falls below the lower bound.
The RSI Trail indicator also can be used to identify pullback opportunities. When the price high/low crosses above/below the calculated upper/lower bound, it indicates a potential pullback, suggesting a favorable point to enter a trade during a pullback.

Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantXThe "Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantX" is tool designed to identify and visualize significant order blocks in the market.
This script goes beyond traditional order block detection by integrating advanced features such as volume threshold filtering, ATR-based sizing, and higher timeframe considerations.
How It works:
A. General data :
- Order Block Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish order blocks based on swing highs and lows, with options to filter by volume thresholds to ensure significant levels.
- Volume Threshold: Only displays order blocks where the volume exceeds a user-defined threshold, ensuring the highlighted zones are of particular significance.
- ATR-Based Sizing: Offers the option to use the Average True Range (ATR) for sizing order blocks, allowing for dynamic adjustment based on market volatility.
- Higher Timeframe Integration: Includes the ability to display order blocks from a higher timeframe, providing a broader market perspective.
- Customizable Appearance: Users can customize the colors and transparency of the order blocks, ensuring they fit seamlessly with any chart setup.
B. Code explanation :
- The script allows you to set a minimum volume threshold. Order blocks are only shown if the volume during their formation exceeds this threshold, ensuring that only significant price levels are highlighted.
- When enabled, the ATR (Average True Range) is used to size the order blocks. This means the height of the blocks adjusts dynamically with market volatility, providing a more accurate representation of significant zones.
- The script can display order blocks from a higher timeframe on your current chart. This is useful for aligning shorter-term trading decisions with broader market trends.
C. How to Use:
a) Set the volume threshold to filter out less significant order blocks. Adjust the value according to the typical volume of your trading instrument;
b) Enable the ATR-based sizing and set the period and multiplier to match your trading style. This helps in identifying order blocks relative to market volatility;
c) Choose a higher timeframe if you want to see significant order blocks from a broader market perspective. This can help in making more informed trading decisions.

ICT Opening Range GapOpening Range Gap
The Opening Range Gap, also known as the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) Gap, is the distance between the first opening tick of a session and the previous session's close, when looking at a chart's Regular Trading Hours (not to be confused with Electronic Trading Hours). This gap is an important element for Futures Market traders that follow the works of The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). To be more specific, the Opening Range Gap occurs between 4:15pm and 9:30am of the next day.
The Opening Range Gap can be viewed easily when switching the session type to "Regular trading hours".
The image above shows an example of an RTH Gap for Wednesday, June 12, 2024 in CME_MINI:ES1!
How To Use Opening Range Gap
The Opening Range Gap can be used like any other form of a gap by extending it into future price action and looking for it to be filled on the same day or the upcoming days.
Looking for 50% of the gap to be filled as an initial target is one of the methodologies taught by ICT. Additionally, the high and low of the gap (as well as the midpoint) can be used as points of dynamic support & resistance, even if the gap is already filled. Therefore, these gaps do not "expire", and they can be used as key price levels extended through to the end of the week.
Disclaimer
This indicator is mainly intended to work for Futures markets, and specifically the following Index Futures markets: E-mini S&P 500 Futures, E-mini NASDAQ-100 Futures, E-mini DOW Futures.
Given that, the indicator still supports various other markets/assets out-of-the-box, such as other types of Futures Markets, Stocks, Options, and more. The main difference will be that other markets may have RTH Gaps forming at different times, rather than the 4:15pm-9:30am gap that occurs in the Index Futures (Regular trading hours).
Indicator Purpose
While RTH Gaps can be labeled by hand, this indicator allows you to quickly plot multiple RTH Gaps and get a quick glimpse at potential gaps that you may have missed, which could end up being useful in your analysis.
This indicator is 100% custom-built, not using code from any other existing indicators that may plot Opening Range Gaps. The main purpose of this indicator was to overcome many shortcomings from other existing indicators, most notably the problem of displaying RTH Gaps while using ETH as the chart session.
Therefore, this indicator has many UNIQUE features, such as:
Ability to maintain accuracy of the closing/opening prices even when changing chart settings (e.g., toggling ETH/RTH sessions, toggling BACK-ADJUSTMENT on futures contracts, toggling SETTLEMENT prices, etc.).
Draw up to 25 previous Opening Range Gaps, even on ultra-low timeframes like the 1-minute or 1-second chart.
Automatically or manually choose which Opening Range Gaps to hide/show on the chart.
Highly customizable, including a different color scheme to easily distinguish between the Current and Previous RTH Gaps.
Modified price values to correctly display prices that use a format like 109'32 (e.g., Bond Futures or Wheat Futures).
Helpful tooltips to provide more detailed information about the RTH Gaps or about the current Input Settings.
Error Messages
There are some conditions which can cause the script to fail and display an error message (by clicking the red exclamation mark next to the indicator.)
Error messages:
Use a Standard Chart Type : this will occur when using a non-standard chart such as Heikin Ashi, Renko, Point & Figure, etc.
Use a Daily or Lower Timeframe : this error will appear when using a higher timeframe chart like weekly or monthly, because it can clutter the chart since RTH Gaps can form every day.
RTH Gap was not detected : this means that no RTH gap was found, which will occur on markets that don't have the option to toggle between ETH and RTH sessions (e.g., Forex or Crypto).
Exceeded the maximum lookback for Bar Replay mode : when using bar replay mode; this can depend on the amount of historical bars available in different account subscription types.
Unable to Activate Bar Replay mode : if the indicator could not be used in Bar Replay mode.
Restart Bar Replay : if the indicator works in Bar Replay but it detected an error that would cause RTH Gaps to be plotted incorrectly.
This is an example of what a script error would look like.
Indicator Settings
Most settings are self-explanatory or have a tooltip with information on what the setting does, but this section will only briefly cover the available settings.
Extend to End of Day : This setting is enabled by default. It will extend each RTH Gap only up to the end of its day (specifically, to the RTH close of the day). The option can be toggled OFF to automatically extend all RTH Gaps to the right-most candle on the chart.
Previous RTH Gaps : Between 1 and 25 previous RTH Gaps can be displayed. The checkbox can be toggled to quickly hide all previous RTH Gaps (but the same effect would be reached by setting the value to 0).
Hide Current RTH Gap : The Current RTH Gap (most recent one), can be optionally hidden from being plotted.
Beginning Anchor Point : Choose the beginning anchor point for all RTH Gaps. The default is "RTH Close", which means that each gap will be drawn on the chart starting from their previous session's RTH close @ 4:15pm. But it will be a more transparent version of the actual gap; this ghost-like image will extend from 4:15pm all the way up to 9:30am where the gap will then be drawn normally from 9:30am onwards. The other option for this setting is "RTH Open" which means that the gap will be drawn starting from the actual 9:30am opening.
Current RTH Gap Style
These settings are used to customize the visual style of the most recent RTH Gap (also known as the "Current" RTH Gap). Note: the exact same set of settings are available for the Previous RTH Gaps. The text label next to each gap can be optionally hidden to clean the chart a little.
Price Table
These are settings to customize the appearance of the Price Table on the right, including the ability to hide it completely. Note: to actually use the color configurations, you must select "Custom Style" in one of the dropdowns, otherwise it will use "Default Style" which means that the Price Table is automatically styled based on the colors chosen in the Current RTH Gap Style and Previous RTH Gap Style settings.
Overlap Handling
One of 7 available overlap handling options can be used to filter which RTH Gaps are plotted on the chart. By default, the "None" option will be selected, meaning that all valid RTH Gaps are plotted on the chart.
Formatting
Date Format : select the format of the date that is shown next to each RTH Gaps.
Timezone : choose the timezone for the RTH Gap closing/opening date-times that are displayed (only in tooltips when you hover over an RTH Gap label).
RTH Gap Label : choose the details to display next to each gap (e.g., date, or gap number, or both).
Price Format : only two options: Auto/Decimal. "Auto" uses custom processing to allow displaying values such as 109'32 for Bond futures.
Tooltips
The indicator provides additional details about an RTH Gap when you hover over a row in the Price Table.
Note: the same information can be found by hovering over the Text Label that is to the right of each RTH Gap (even when the Text Label is disabled via the Settings).
Overlap Handling
The tooltip next to "Select a Strategy" in the options will provide details on each overlap handling strategy. Additionally, when a strategy is selected, a new row in the Price Table will appear; hovering over that will show details about the currently selected strategy, as well as any suggestions in case the inputs were invalid. When a strategy hides an RTH Gap, the number in the Price Table will be replaced with an "Eye" icon, indicating that it is not currently plotted on the chart.
Available strategies are:
Option 1 (Gradients) : select the percentage opacity to shade RTH Gaps in. The more recent RTH Gaps will be closer to the maximum opacity defined, while the older RTH Gaps will appear more transparent, closer to the minimum opacity defined. Note: only affects previous RTH Gaps, not the current RTH Gap.
Option 2 (Day Extension) : select the number of days to extend each RTH Gap up to. Note: this will override the "Extend to End of Day" setting, regardless whether it is toggled ON or OFF.
Option 3 (Nested Gaps) : hides nested gaps, i.e., RTH Gaps that are enclosed within another RTH Gap. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Day" setting is disabled .
Option 4 (Intersecting Gaps) : hides intersecting/overlapping gaps, i.e., RTH Gaps that overlap one another (this may also include, but is not limited to, nested gaps). The drop-down next to this option allows choosing the priority of which RTH Gaps to hide first. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Day" setting is disabled .
Option 5 (Gap Width) : the chart will only show RTH Gaps that have a width/size between the defined parameters.
Option 6 (Close Proximity) : the chart will only show the RTH Gaps that are within a certain range from the market price. This can be useful when plotting multiple RTH Gaps while using auto-scaling on the chart. By only showing nearby RTH Gaps, it will prevent the auto-scaling from having to compress the candles to fit the far-away RTH Gaps onto the screen.
Option 7 (CSV) : this option is used if none of the others suit you well; it allows specifically choosing which RTH Gaps to hide or show on the chart.
This is an example that chooses the Overlap Handling Strategy Option 6. Note that in this example, the tooltip in the price table shows a warning that the Input Number should be increased to plot some RTH Gaps on the chart.
Tips
Chart settings can be toggled to "Scale price chart only" to prevent the auto-scaling of TradingView from compressing the chart if there are RTH Gaps that are far away from the current market action.
If you change a lot of indicator settings such as RTH Gap color schemes, you can save the settings as the Default to prevent your settings from resetting the next time you use the indicator.

ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) [UAlgo]The "ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) " designed for traders who utilize the concept of Order Blocks in their trading strategy. Order Blocks are significant price levels where institutions or smart money have placed their trades, leading to potential future price reactions when these levels are revisited. This indicator focuses on identifying and highlighting Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOBs), allowing traders to visually analyze key price levels on their charts.
🔶 What is Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) ?
A Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) is a specific type of Order Block that is identified based on a single candlestick pattern. These patterns indicate potential areas where significant buying or selling interest has occurred, often leading to a notable price reaction when revisited. In the context of this indicator, a bullish SCOB is identified when a specific bullish candlestick pattern is met, and a bearish SCOB is identified based on a bearish candlestick pattern.
Bullish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is higher than its close, the close price of the previous bar is higher than its open, the current close price is higher than the open, the low of the previous bar is lower than the low of two bars ago, and the current close is higher than the high of the previous bar.
Bearish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is lower than its close, the close price of the previous bar is lower than its open, the current close price is lower than the open, the high of the previous bar is higher than the high of two bars ago, and the current close is lower than the low of the previous bar.
🔶 Key Features
Show Single Candle Order Block (SCOB): Toggle the visibility of the Single Candle Order Blocks on the chart.
Mitigation Method: Choose between "Close" and "Wick" methods for determining whether a SCOB has been mitigated (price has interacted with the block).
Show Last X SCOBs: Control the number of most recent SCOBs displayed on the chart, allowing you to focus on the most relevant price levels.
Volatility Filter: Enable or disable the volatility filter, which uses the Average True Range (ATR) to filter out less significant SCOBs. When enabled, only SCOBs with an ATR above the mean value of the ATR are displayed.
Customizable Colors: Configure the colors for bullish and bearish SCOBs to enhance visual clarity. The indicator uses cooler RGB values to ensure the blocks are distinct and easily noticeable.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Trading involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users should use this indicator in conjunction with their own research and trading strategy.
ICT New Day Opening GapNew Day Opening Gap
The New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) is defined by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) as the separation in time/price that is caused by the 1-hour break that occurs each day in the futures market. The opening price of the gap is the very first tick that occurs at the 6:00pm restart; then we look at the 5:00pm closing price of the previous session. This New Day Opening Gap forms every day from Monday to Friday, but it does not include the gap between Friday's close and Sunday's open (because that is instead referred to as a New Week Opening Gap).
This is an example of a New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) for Wednesday, May 22, 2024 in CME_MINI:ES1!
How To Use NDOG
When an NDOG forms, it can be extended into future price action. One way to use these gaps is to look for it to be filled in by price action. Another usage for these gaps is to look for support & resistance to come in at the high and low of these NDOGs (as well as the midpoint).
Disclaimer
This indicator is mainly intended to work for Futures markets, and specifically the following Index Futures markets: E-mini S&P 500 Futures, E-mini NASDAQ-100 Futures, E-mini DOW Futures.
Given that, the indicator still supports various other markets/assets out-of-the-box, such as other types of Futures Markets, Forex markets, Stocks, Options, and more. The main difference will be that other markets may have NDOGs forming at different times, rather than the 5pm-6pm gap that occurs in the Index Futures.

NDOG was not detected : this means that no NDOG was found, for example if the chart did not have enough bars/candles (e.g., some Options markets).
Exceeded the maximum lookback for Bar Replay mode : when using bar replay mode; this can depend on the amount of historical bars available in different account subscription types.
Unable to Activate Bar Replay mode : if the indicator could not be used in Bar Replay mode.
Restart Bar Replay : if the indicator works in Bar Replay but it detected an error that would cause NDOGs to be plotted incorrectly.
NDOG was not detected. Toggle "Error Handling" Option at your own discretion : this is more of a warning message that will appear when the indicator does not detect any actual gap between the days (e.g., Forex markets where it is continuously traded through each day, without any gap forming in between). But the warning can be dismissed by toggling the checkbox at the bottom of the Indicator's Input Settings.
This is an example of what a script error would look like.
Indicator Settings
Most settings are self-explanatory or have a tooltip with information on what the setting does, so this section will only briefly cover the available settings.
The "Extend to End of Week" option is enabled by default, which will extend each NDOG only up to the end of the week that it belongs to. This option can be toggled OFF to automatically extend all NDOGs to the right-most candle on the chart.
Previous NDOGs: Between 1 and 25 previous NDOGs can be displayed. The checkbox can be toggled to quickly hide all previous NDOGs (but the same effect would be reached by setting the value to 0).
Hide Current NDOG: the current NDOG (colored in Green in the example above), can be optionally hidden from being plotted.
These settings are used to customize the visual style of the most recent NDOG (also known as the "Current" NDOG). Note: the exact same set of settings are available for the Previous NDOGs. The text next to each NDOG can be optionally hidden to clean the chart a little.

NDOG Label : choose the details to display next to each NDOG (e.g., date, or NDOG number, or both).
Price Format : only two options: Auto/Decimal. "Auto" uses custom processing to allow displaying values such as 109'32 for Bond futures.
This option can be toggled to allow displaying NDOGs for markets that may not have an actual gap between days, such as Forex markets, or BTC/USD (which is traded 24/7). Note: this option must be used at your own discretion because the opening/closing times for the NDOGs are not guaranteed to be accurate.
Tooltips
The indicator provides additional details about an NDOG when you hover over a row in the Price Table.
Note: the same information can be found by hovering over the Text Label that is to the right of each NDOG.
Overlap Handling
The tooltip next to "Select a Strategy" in the options will provide details on each overlap handling strategy. Additionally, when a strategy is selected, a new row in the Price Table will appear; hovering over that will show details about the currently selected strategy, as well as any suggestions in case the inputs were invalid. When a strategy hides an NDOG, the number in the Price Table will be replaced with an "Eye" icon, indicating that it is not currently plotted on the chart.
Available strategies are:
Option 1 (Gradients) : select the percentage opacity to shade NDOGs in. The more recent NDOGs will be closer to the maximum opacity defined, while the older NDOGs will appear more transparent, closer to the minimum opacity defined. Note: only affects previous NDOGs, not the current NDOG.
Option 2 (Week Extension) : select the number of weeks to extend each NDOG up to. Note: this will override the "Extend to End of Week" setting, regardless whether it is toggled ON or OFF.
Option 3 (Nested Gaps) : hides nested gaps, i.e., NDOGs that are enclosed within another NDOG. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Week" setting is disabled .
Option 4 (Intersecting Gaps) : hides intersecting/overlapping gaps, i.e., NDOGs that overlap one another (this may also include, but is not limited to, nested gaps). The drop-down next to this option allows choosing the priority of which NDOGs to hide first. Note: this option is only available when the "Extend to End of Week" setting is disabled .
Option 5 (Gap Width) : the chart will only show NDOGs that have a width between the defined parameters. This can be useful to filter out NDOGs that are deemed "insignificant". For example, the Inner Circle Trader will generally filter out of his analysis any NDOGs that are less than a point (4 ticks) for Index futures.
Option 6 (Close Proximity) : the chart will only show the NDOGs that are within a certain range from the market price. This can be useful when plotting multiple NDOGs while using auto-scaling on the chart. By only showing nearby NDOGs, it will prevent the auto-scaling from having to compress the candles to fit the far-away NDOGs onto the screen.
Option 7 (CSV) : this option is used if none of the others suit you well; it allows specifically choosing which NDOGs to hide or show on the chart.
This is an example that chooses the Overlap Handling Strategy Option 6. Note that in this example, the tooltip in the price table shows a warning that the Input Number should be increased to plot some NDOGs on the chart.
Tips
Chart settings can be toggled to "Scale price chart only" to prevent the auto-scaling of TradingView from compressing the chart if there are NDOGs that are far away from the current market action.
If you change a lot of indicator settings such as NDOG color schemes, you can save the settings as the Default to prevent your settings from resetting the next time you use the indicator.
Double FVG-BPR [QuantVue]The Double FVG BPR Indicator is a versatile tool that helps traders identify potential support and resistance levels through the concept of balanced price ranges.
A Balanced Price Range (BPR) is a zone on a price chart where the market has found equilibrium after a period of price imbalance.
It is identified by detecting a Fair Value Gap (FVG) in one direction, followed by an overlapping Fair Value Gap in the opposite direction.
Components of a Balanced Price Range
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A FVG occurs when there is a rapid price movement, creating a gap in the price chart where minimal trading occurs. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand.
Bullish FVG: A bullish FVG is identified when the low of a candle is higher than the high of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is higher than the high of that same period.
Bearish FVG: A bearish FVG is identified when the high of a candle is lower than the low of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is lower than the low of that same period.
Overlapping Fair Value Gap: For a BPR to be formed, an initial FVG must be followed by an overlapping FVG in the opposite direction. This creates a balanced zone where the price has moved up (or down) quickly and then moved down (or up) with similar intensity, suggesting a temporary equilibrium.
The area between the high and low points of these overlapping FVGs forms the BPR. This zone represents a temporary market equilibrium where supply and demand have balanced out after a period of significant price movement in both directions.
How to Use
Support and Resistance Levels: The upper and lower boundaries of the BPR act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can use these levels to place buy and sell orders, anticipating that the price may find support or face resistance within these zones.
Trend Reversal and Continuation: The BPR can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
If the price moves back into the BPR after a breakout, it may indicate a reversal. Conversely, if the price breaks out of the BPR with strong momentum, it may signal a trend continuation.
Supports & Resistances [UAlgo]The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key support and resistance levels on the price chart. It utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) and Pivot Points to define the boundaries of S & R zones and considers historical price action to assess the strength of these zones.
🔶 How to Obtain Zones
The script continuously analyzes the price action and identifies potential support and resistance zones based on the following criteria:
Zone Creation: For swing highs, a zone is created with the high price at the zone length as the top and the top minus the Average True Range (ATR) as the bottom. Conversely, for swing lows, the zone is created with the low price at the zone length as the bottom and the low plus the ATR as the top.
Zone Strength Calculation: The script iterates through historical bars within the zone and counts how many times the price (low for support, high for resistance) touched but failed to break entirely through the zone. This count is assigned as the zone's "strength".
Zone Display and Removal: It identifying zones by assigning a "strength" value based on how many times the price has approached but failed to break the zone. This helps prioritize stronger potential support/resistance levels. Only zones exceeding the defined "strength threshold" are visually displayed on the chart. Weaker zones or those broken by price are automatically removed.
🔶 Parameters
Zone Length: Traders can adjust S & R detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Strength Threshold: Set the minimum number of times the price needs to touch but fail to break a zone for it to be considered "strong" and displayed.
Visual Settings: Tailor the appearance of the support/resistance zones by defining separate colors and text size for borders, backgrounds, and zone text.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "Supports & Resistances " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
The use of this indicator involves inherent risks, and users should employ their own judgment and conduct their own research before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Fibonacci Period Range [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Period Range Indicator is a powerful trading tool that draws levels of support and resistance that are based on key Fibonacci levels. The script will identify the high and low of a range that is specified by the user, then draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels.
The script will also draw extension levels outside of the specified range that are also based on Fibonacci levels. These extension levels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
Each level is also labelled to help traders understand what each line represents. These labels can be turned off in the indicator settings.
The purpose of this script is to simplify the trading experience of users by giving them the ability to customize the time period that is identified, then draw levels of support and resistance that are based on the price action during this time.
█ USAGE
In the indicator settings, the user has access to a setting called Session Range. This gives users control over the range that will be used.
The script will then identify the high and low of the range that was specified and draw several levels of support and resistance based on Fibonacci levels between this range. The user can also choose to have extension levels that display more levels outside of the range.
These lines will extend until the end of the current trading day at 5:00 pm EST.

Supply and Demand StrategyOverview
This strategy is designed to identify key supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones on a price chart. These zones represent areas where the price has historically shown a significant reaction, either bouncing up from a demand zone or dropping down from a supply zone. The strategy provides clear entry and exit points for trades based on these zones.
Key Components
Supply and Demand Zones:
Supply Zone: An area where the price has reversed from an uptrend to a downtrend. It represents a high concentration of sellers.
Demand Zone: An area where the price has reversed from a downtrend to an uptrend. It represents a high concentration of buyers.
Time Frames:
Use higher time frames (like daily or weekly) to identify key supply and demand zones.
Use lower time frames (like 1-hour or 4-hour) to pinpoint precise entry and exit points within these zones.
Confirmation:
Use price action and candlestick patterns (like pin bars or engulfing patterns) to confirm potential reversals in these zones.
ICT Propulsion Block [LuxAlgo]The ICT Propulsion Block indicator is meant to detect and highlight propulsion blocks, which are specific price structures introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
Propulsion Blocks are essentially blocks located where prices interact with preceding order blocks. Traders often utilize them when analyzing price movements to identify potential turning points and market behavior or areas of interest in the market.
🔶 USAGE
An order block is a significant area on a price chart where there was a notable accumulation or distribution of orders, often identified by a strong move in price followed by a consolidation or sideways movement. Traders use order blocks to identify potential support or resistance levels.
A Propulsion Block, on the other hand, is a concept taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and refers to a specific type of order block that interacts with the preceding order block. Traders often analyze propulsion blocks to identify potential turning points and areas of interest in the market.
A mitigated order block refers to an order block that has been invalidated or nullified due to subsequent market movements or developments. It no longer holds the same significance or relevance in the current market context.
Let's explore a bearish order block and propulsion block scenario commonly utilized by ICT traders in their trading strategies.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Order & Propulsion Blocks
Swing Detection Length: Lookback period used to detect swing points for creating order blocks and/or propulsion blocks.

Fundur - Easy ZonesFundur Easy Zones Trading Indicator
The Fundur Easy Zones trading indicator is designed to simplify market analysis by visually marking critical trading zones. This tool helps traders identify optimal buy and sell areas based on historical price action, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
Calculation Methodology
The Easy Zones indicator employs pivot point calculations combined with price action analysis and the Average True Range (ATR) to determine key trading zones. These zones are calculated by analyzing market volatility and price movements within each timeframe, allowing the identification of significant discount and premium levels.
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot points based on the average of high, low, and close prices from previous periods. These pivot points serve as the foundational levels from which discount and premium zones are derived.
Price Action Analysis: Historical price data is scrutinized to identify patterns and behaviors that signify potential reversal points. This analysis helps in pinpointing zones where the market is likely to experience significant support (discount) or resistance (premium).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is used to measure market volatility. By incorporating ATR into the calculations, the indicator adjusts the zone boundaries to reflect current market conditions, ensuring that the zones remain relevant and accurate. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility and wider zones, while lower ATR values result in narrower zones.
Discount and Premium Levels: Based on the pivot points and ATR, the indicator calculates various tiers of discount and premium levels. These tiers (D1, D2, D3 for discounts and P1, P2, P3 for premiums) represent increasing levels of price deviation from the mean, providing traders with clear entry and exit points.
Features Overview

ACD Indicator [TradingFinder] M Fisher Pivots Methodology Signal🔵 Introduction
The book "The Logical Trader" begins with a comprehensive review of the ACD Methodology principles, which include identifying specific price points related to the opening range.
This method allows you to set reference points for trading and use points "A" and "C" for trade entry. You will also learn about the "Pivot Range" and how to combine them with the ACD method to maximize position size and minimize risk.
In this indicator, the strategy is implemented to make it easier to use.
🔵 How to Use
The "ACD" strategy can be applied to various markets such as stocks, commodities, or forex, providing buy and sell signals that allow you to set your price targets and stop losses.
This strategy is based on the assumption that the opening range of trades is statistically significant each day, meaning the initial market fluctuations influence the market until the end of the day.
The ACD trading strategy is known as a breakout strategy and performs best in volatile or strongly trending markets, such as crude oil and stocks.
Some of the rules for using the ACD strategy include the following :
Consider points A and C as reference points and continuously pay attention to these points during trades. These points serve as entry and exit points for trades.
Examine daily and multi-day pivot ranges to analyze market trends. If the price is above the pivots, the trend is upward, and if below the pivots, the trend is downward.
Trading with the ACD strategy in forex is possible using the ACD indicator. This indicator is a technical tool used to measure the balance between supply and demand in the market. By analyzing trading volume and price, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength and suitable entry and exit points.
To use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying strong trends: The ACD indicator can help you identify strong and stable trends in the market.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD provides buy and sell signals to enter or exit trades at the best possible time.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is below the "A down" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is above the "A up" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.

Dinapoli Objective Points (OPs)The DiNapoli Objective Points (OPs) is a drawing tool that computes potential exit targets to a market. It does so by drawing Fibonacci ABC Extensions which form Areas that might condition future market moves. This is a Leading Indicator created by Joe DiNapoli.
Let’s dive into what this tool does.
HOW TO READ THE DINAPOLI OPs
First, let’s review the basic concepts. In the chart below you’ll see a market Up Swing and a Down Swing. Both charts show a significant Retracement within the scope of a larger Swing, and therefore are suitable for this tool.
A Point : That’s the base Reaction Point. In up swings, it’s usually a significant pivot low, while in down swings it’s a pivot high.
B Point : That’s the Focus Point that will define the extent of the extensions. In up swings, it’s usually a significant pivot high, while in down swings it’s a pivot low.
C Point : That’s the Retracement Point from where the extensions will be drawn. The C Point is contained within the A-B Price Range, and often coincides with a Fibonacci Node.
On adding the tool to the chart, it will pop up a message asking the user to click for the 3 Points: A, B and C. Then, the tool will compute the Objective Points. Let’s review them:
COP : It’s the 61.8% Fibonacci Extension. It’s called COP as an acronym for Contracted Objective Point. It’s commonly used as an early Take Profit level or also as a point at which to enable a Trailing Stop Loss.
OP : It’s the 100% Fibonacci Extension. It’s called OP as an acronym for the main Objective Point. It’s usually used as a level where to Take Profit.
XOP : It’s the 161.8% Fibonacci Extension. It’s called XOP as an acronym for Extended Objective Point. It’s usually employed as a Take Profit target in which to close the position or significantly reduce the position weight.
By combining Objective Points with Dinapoli Levels, one can define Areas of Interest that might act as reinforced Support or Resistance levels. The Agreement Area happens where there’s a convergence between a Fibonacci Node and an Objective Point.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
This version of Dinapoli Levels has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Combine Objective Points with D-Levels!
This tool allows you to quickly compute the Objective Points and display them in a minimalistic non-intrusive fashion.
The fact that the Objective Points get drawn on the right hand side of the chart combines perfectly with the Dinapoli Levels tools.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean and visually appealing. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same information. On the right it uses the DiNapoli Objective Points to print the Extensions, whilst on the right it uses the standard Fibonacci Extension tool.
The DiNapoli Objective Points use a view concentrated into the empty right side of the chart, which contributes to a more comprehensive display of information. There are no lines crossing over the price candles. It’s just a better tool. It keeps your charts free of messy lines.
EACH MARKET IN ITS OWN CHART
This tool somehow enhances the functionality of a Fibonacci Extension Drawing Tool. Being in nature a drawing tool, it has been developed as an indicator because that’s the only way it can be done at the present moment in this platform.
Therefore it’s recommended to structure Each Market in its Own Chart . Being coded as an indicator, this tool benefits by displaying over a chart dedicated to a single market.
If you trade on multiple markets, then it’s convenient to set up separate charts for each one. Otherwise, you would need to apply, delete and reapply the tool every time you shift markets.
SETTINGS
Now let’s dive into the settings of this indicator.
ABC Points : This section contains the ABC price points selected and its label visualization controls.
A-Point, B-Point and C-Point : These fields contain the prices that were selected when clicking on the chart. One can change their value by hand, and the indicator will do its best to accommodate the drawing.

Dinapoli Levels (5 Reaction Points)The Dinapoli Levels is a drawing tool that adds context to the Location in which a market is trading. It does so by drawing Fibonacci Nodes which form Confluence Areas and Agreement Areas that might condition future market moves. This is a Leading Indicator created by Joe DiNapoli.
This version enables you to draw a series of 5 Sets of Fibonacci Nodes in one go . Therefore, you will make use of this tool whenever you find a market swing with 5 clear Reaction Points.
All these terms will be clarified on the sections down below. Next, you’ll learn how to read this tool.
HOW TO READ THE DINAPOLI LEVELS
Firstly, let’s tackle the basic concepts. In the chart below you’ll see both a market Up Swing and a Down Swing. They both show 5 significant Reaction points, and therefore are suitable for this tool.
Here’s a Line Chart to highlight its specific points of interest.
Reaction Points : They are the succession of reversal price points that happen within a market swing. In the case of an up swing, they are the higher lows that stand out. And in down swings, they are the lower highs that stand out.
Focus Point : The Focus Point is the most extreme Price Point of the swing. In the case of an up swing, it’s the extreme high. In a down swing it’s the extreme low.
To use this tool effectively, it needs to be drawn over a market swing that has at least 5 Distinct Reaction Points .
On adding the tool to the chart, it will pop up a message asking the user to click 5 Reaction Points. For proper display, one would select the reaction points from the bottom up in an up swing, and for a down swing they would be selected in descending order.
The final point to be selected is the Focus Point. Then, it’ll display a Fibonacci tree-like structure containing multiple Fibonacci Nodes.
But first, let’s display a simple Fibonacci Node to define its component parts.
Here’s the meaning for each Fibonacci Node:
F3 : It’s the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F3 because originally Fibonacci Nodes were expressed in fractional format. In this case, it’s the 3 /8 Node.
F4 : It’s the 50% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F4 because its fractional expression is 4 /8 Node.
F5 : It’s the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F5 because its fractional expression is 5 /8 Node.
F8 : It’s the 100% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F8 because its fractional expression is 8 /8 Node.
By combining close Fibonacci Nodes, one can define Areas of Interest that might act as Support or Resistance, and that might be employed in a wide variety of setups to define entries, take profit levels and stop-loss price levels .
Here are the main Areas to be identified:
Confluence : It’s a price range in which there’s convergence between an F3 Node and an F5 Node.
Agreement : It’s the convergence between a Fibonacci Node and a Fibonacci Expansion level, also called Objective Point.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
This version of Dinapoli Levels has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Display 5 sets of Fibonacci Levels in One Go!
This tool excels on consolidated trends because it allows the user to plot 5 sets of Fibonacci Levels at once. That happens to be really useful when focusing on the longer term view. It clearly identifies where the market is trading with regards to key Confluence and Agreement areas.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same information. On the right it uses the DiNapoli Levels to print 5 sets of Fibonacci Nodes, whilst on the right it uses the standard Fibonacci Retracement.
The DiNapoli Levels use a tree-like view which contributes to a more minimalistic and comprehensive display of information. Moreover, placing the Fibonacci Nodes to the right of the price candles enhances its visibility. There are no lines crossing over the price candles. It’s just a better tool. It keeps your charts free of messy lines.

By combining close Fibonacci Nodes, one can define Areas of Interest that might act as Support or Resistance, and that might be employed in a wide variety of setups to define entries, take profit levels and stop-loss price levels .
Here are the main Areas to be identified:
Confluence : It’s a price range in which there’s convergence between an F3 Node and an F5 Node.
Agreement : It’s the convergence between a Fibonacci Node and a Fibonacci Expansion level, also called Objective Point.
WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
This version of Dinapoli Levels has been designed to address the needs of dedicated traders. Let’s review its main features.
Display 4 sets of Fibonacci Levels in One Go!
This tool excels on consolidated trends because it allows the user to plot 4 sets of Fibonacci Levels at once. That happens to be really useful when focusing on the longer term view. It clearly identifies where the market is trading with regards to key Confluence and Agreement areas.
Keep your Chart Clean!
Disciplined traders keep their charts clean. One needs proper focus to trade in the zone.
Please check how the chart on the left looks compared to the one on the right. Both display exactly the same information. On the right it uses the DiNapoli Levels to print 4 sets of Fibonacci Nodes, whilst on the right it uses the standard Fibonacci Retracement.
The DiNapoli Levels use a tree-like view which contributes to a more minimalistic and comprehensive display of information. Moreover, placing the Fibonacci Nodes to the right of the price candles enhances its visibility. There are no lines crossing over the price candles. It’s just a better tool. It keeps your charts free of messy lines.
EACH MARKET IN ITS OWN CHART
This tool somehow enhances the functionality of a Fibonacci Retracement Drawing Tool. Being in nature a drawing tool, it has been developed as an indicator because that’s the only way it can be done at the present moment in this platform.
Therefore it’s recommended to structure Each Market in its Own Chart . Being coded as an indicator, this tool benefits by displaying over a chart dedicated to a single market.
If you trade on multiple markets, then it’s convenient to set up separate charts for each one. Otherwise, you would need to apply, delete and reapply the tool every time you shift markets.
SETTINGS
Now let’s dive into the settings of this indicator.

Dinapoli Levels (3 Reaction Points)The Dinapoli Levels is a drawing tool that adds context to the Location in which a market is trading. It does so by drawing Fibonacci Nodes which form Confluence Areas and Agreement Areas that might condition future market moves. This is a Leading Indicator created by Joe DiNapoli.
This version enables you to draw a series of 3 Sets of Fibonacci Nodes in one go . Therefore, you will make use of this tool whenever you find a market swing with 3 clear Reaction Points.
All these terms will be clarified on the sections down below. Next, you’ll learn how to read this tool.
HOW TO READ THE DINAPOLI LEVELS
Firstly, let’s tackle the basic concepts. In the chart below you’ll see both a market Up Swing and a Down Swing. They both show 3 significant Reaction points, and therefore are suitable for this tool.
Here’s a Line Chart to highlight its specific points of interest.
Reaction Points : They are the succession of reversal price points that happen within a market swing. In the case of an up swing, they are the higher lows that stand out. And in down swings, they are the lower highs that stand out.
Focus Point : The Focus Point is the most extreme Price Point of the swing. In the case of an up swing, it’s the extreme high. In a down swing it’s the extreme low.
To use this tool effectively, it needs to be drawn over a market swing that has at least 3 Distinct Reaction Points .
On adding the tool to the chart, it will pop up a message asking the user to click 3 Reaction Points. For proper display, one would select the reaction points from the bottom up in an up swing, and for a down swing they would be selected in descending order.
The final point to be selected is the Focus Point. Then, it’ll display a Fibonacci tree-like structure containing multiple Fibonacci Nodes.
But first, let’s display a simple Fibonacci Node to define its component parts.
Here’s the meaning for each Fibonacci Node:
F3 : It’s the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F3 because originally Fibonacci Nodes were expressed in fractional format. In this case, it’s the 3 /8 Node.
F4 : It’s the 50% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F4 because its fractional expression is 4 /8 Node.
F5 : It’s the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F5 because its fractional expression is 5 /8 Node.
F8 : It’s the 100% Fibonacci Retracement Node. It’s called F8 because its fractional expression is 8 /8 Node.
By combining close Fibonacci Nodes, one can define Areas of Interest that might act as Support or Resistance, and that might be employed in a wide variety of setups to define entries, take profit levels and stop-loss price levels .
Here are the main Areas to be identified:
Confluence : It’s a price range in which there’s convergence between an F3 Node and an F5 Node.

Market Structure Targets Model [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Targets Model indicator provides an algorithmic approach to setting targets from market structure shifts (MSS) and market structure breaks (MSB), two popular Smart Money Concept (SMC) concepts. Depending on the target % settings, they can be used as take profit, confirmation levels, or potential reversal points.
🔶 USAGE
Our Market Structure Targets Model scripts provide automated and customizable targets from MSS and MSB. Each displayed target can be used in several ways described in the sub-sections below:
🔹 Take Profit
The targets can be used as take profit levels, where the target distance can be set separately for bullish/bearish MSS/MSB respectively.
🔹 Confirmation Levels
Alternatively, targets can be used as an additional confirmation level of a trend reversal when set at a lower percentage, filtering out fake signals that might be given from market structures. In this way, targets can be used as potential entry levels.
🔹 Potential Reversal Points
In some circumstances, targets being reached can be indicative of trend reversals. The percentage of the targets would be typically set higher to allow for trend exhaustion.
The above examples highlight this usage for bearish reversal scenarios, while the image below highlights it for bullish reversal scenarios.
🔹 Support/Resistance Levels
The targets, being horizontal levels, can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends. It is important to remain observant of the market structure. An MSS or MSB in the opposite direction provides essential information to be included in future decisions.
Using multiple timeframes can help detect longer-term trends. Depending on the user's preference, they can choose the appropriate timeframe for their needs.
Note that Target lines will only be drawn when the Target Level exceeds the close value when it is drawn.
🔹 Maximum Target Duration
The Maximum Target Duration setting removes unreached target levels when the amount of bars since the associated market structure of that target exceeds the user set limit. This effectively allows the removal of any target that might no longer be relevant to newer trends.
🔹 Type: Switch/Hold
This setting is another way to control unreached target levels.
Switch: When a new MSS/MSB is found, the previous target level associated with a market structure with the same direction (bullish/bearish) is deleted if it hasn't been reached.
Hold: Target levels are retained and continuously evaluated when a new MSS/MSB is formed.
The target level will be removed in both cases when the Maximum Target Duration condition is applied.
The above example shows the case when the Type setting is set to Switch , while in the example below, it is set to Hold .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structure
Market structures are commonly classified as follows:
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as Change of Character (CHoCH)
Market Structure Break (MSB), also referred to as Break of Structure (BOS)
MSS indicates a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Conversely, MSB occurs once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
🔹 Targets
A: Highest/lowest between the extremities of the MSS/MSB line
B: Price value of the MSS/MSB line
The distance between A and B is projected on the opposite side of the MSS/MSB line, adjusted with a percentage that can be set by the user. The above example used 100% of the distance between A and B.
The Target Percentage of MSS and MSB can be set separately for bullish or bearish market structures.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Type: the Switch/Hold setting controls unattained target levels
Maximum Target Duration: removes the target lines when the amount of bars since the drawing of the target exceeds the limit and the target has not been reached
🔹 Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Bullish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
Bearish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
🔹 Market Structure Break (MSB)
Bullish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
Bearish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
