This tool helps traders: ✔ Assess Bitcoin's buying power relative to the available stablecoin liquidity. ✔ Detect periods of capital inflow or outflow from stablecoins. ✔ Identify market sentiment shifts based on stablecoin reserves. 🔶 CALCULATION The indicator aggregates the supply of key stablecoins and compares it to Bitcoin's market cap: Stablecoin Aggregation • Inputs: USDT, USDC, DAI, USDD (daily closing values). BUSD Market Cap (Glassnode data). • Total Stablecoin Supply: Sum of the listed stablecoins' market caps. Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) • Formula: SSR = Bitcoin Market Cap / Total Stablecoin Supply • Normalized SSR: Normalized by dividing SSR by its 200-day SMA. Bollinger Bands • Bands are applied to the normalized SSR using a configurable moving average type and 2 standard deviations. Example Calculation: ssr = btcmc / stablecoin_liq ratio = ssr / ta.sma(ssr, 200) basis = ta.sma(ratio, 200) dev = 2 * ta.stdev(ratio, 200) upper = basis + dev lower = basis - dev 🔶 DETAILS Visual Features: • Normalized SSR: Plotted as a light green line. • Upper Band: Red line indicating SSR overbought zone. • Lower Band: Green line signaling SSR oversold zone. Interpretation: • High SSR: Indicates stablecoin reserves are low relative to Bitcoin's market cap, reducing stablecoin buying power. • Low SSR: Suggests high stablecoin liquidity relative to Bitcoin's market cap, increasing potential buying pressure. • Band Crosses: Movements beyond the upper or lower bands may signal sentiment extremes. 🔶 EXAMPLES Market insights include: • Capital Outflows: SSR rising into the upper band may reflect decreasing stablecoin reserves, potentially signaling a liquidity drain. • Capital Inflows: SSR dropping near the lower band could indicate growing stablecoin reserves, potentially fueling Bitcoin demand. 🔶 SETTINGS Customization Options: • MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, and VWMA for band calculation. • Period: Adjust the 200-day smoothing period. • Deviation Multiplier: Modify the standard deviation multiplier (default: 2).

Pmax + T3Pmax + T3 is a versatile hybrid trend-momentum indicator that overlays two complementary systems on your price chart: 1. Pmax (EMA & ATR “Risk” Zones) Calculates two exponential moving averages (Fast EMA & Slow EMA) and plots them to gauge trend direction. Highlights “risk zones” behind price as a colored background: Green when Fast EMA > Slow EMA (up-trend) Red when Fast EMA < Slow EMA (down-trend) Yellow when EMAs are close (“flat” zone), helping you avoid choppy markets. You can toggle risk-zone highlighting on/off, plus choose to ignore signals in the yellow (neutral) zone. 2. T3 (Triple-Smoothed EMA Momentum) Applies three sequential EMA smoothing (the classic “T3” algorithm) to your chosen source (usually close). Fills the area between successive T3 curves with up/down colors for a clear visual of momentum shifts. Optional neon-glow styling (outer, mid, inner glows) in customizable widths and transparencies for a striking “cyber” look. You can highlight T3 movements only when the line is rising (green) or falling (red), or disable movement coloring.

CISD [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose: The "CISD - Change in State of Delivery" is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) conecpets. It detects critical shifts in delivery conditions after liquidity sweeps — helping you spot true smart money activity and optimal trade opportunities. This script is especially valuable for traders applying liquidity concepts, displacement recognition, and market structure shifts at both intraday and swing levels. 🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique: Unlike basic trend-following or scalping tools, CISD operates through a two-phase smart money logic: Liquidity Sweep Detection (sweeping Buyside or Sellside Liquidity). State of Delivery Change Identification (through bearish or bullish displacement after the sweep). It intelligently tracks candle sequences and only signals a CISD event after true displacement — offering a much deeper context than ordinary indicators. ⚙️ How the Indicator Works: Swing Point Detection: Identifies recent pivot highs/lows to map Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL) zones. Liquidity Sweeps: Watches for price breaches of these liquidity points to detect institutional stop hunts. Sequence Recognition: Finds series of same-direction candles before sweeps to mark institutional accumulation/distribution. Change of Delivery Confirmation: Confirms CISD only after significant displacement moves price against the initial candle sequence. Visual Markings: Automatically plots CISD lines and optional labels, customizable in color, style, and size. 🎯 How to Use It: Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for CISD levels plotted after a liquidity sweep event. Plan Entries: Look for retracements into CISD lines for high-probability entries. Manage Risk: Use CISD levels to refine your stop-loss and profit-taking zones. Best Application: After stop hunts during Killzones (London Open, New York AM). As part of the Flow State Model: identify higher timeframe PD Arrays ➔ wait for lower timeframe CISD confirmation. 🔎 Underlying Concepts: Liquidity Pools: Highs and lows cluster stop orders, attracting institutional sweeps. Displacement: Powerful price moves post-sweep confirm smart money involvement. Market Structure: CISD frequently precedes major Change of Character (CHoCH) or Break of Structure (BOS) shifts. 🎨 Customization Options: Adjustable line color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted). Optional label display with customizable color and sizing. Line extension settings to keep CISD zones visible for future reference. ✅ Recommended for: Traders studying ICT Smart Money Concepts. Intraday scalpers and higher timeframe swing traders. Traders who want to improve entries around liquidity sweeps and institutional displacement moves. 🚀 Bonus Tip: For maximum confluence, pair this with the HTF POI, ICT Liquidity Levels, and HTF Market Structure indicators available at TakingProphets.com! 🔥

NR4/NR7 + Trend + MACD + VWAP FilterThe Ultimate Momentum-Compression Strategy This strategy merges the power of price compression and trend confirmation, ensuring you're trading when the market is coiled and ready to move. By combining multiple filters—NR4/NR7, trend alignment, MACD momentum, and VWAP support—this setup identifies high-probability trade opportunities in dynamic, trending stocks. Here's how it works: NR4/NR7 Patterns: These are narrow-range days where the current price range is smaller than the previous 4 or 7 days. This signals potential breakout or continuation setups, as the market is compressing before making a move. Trend Confirmation: To ensure you're not trading against the current trend, the price must be above the 20 EMA, and the 10 EMA must be above the 20 EMA. This confirms a bullish structure, with the price trending in your favour. MACD Momentum: The fast MACD line must be above the slow MACD line, confirming the trend is not only intact but also gaining momentum. VWAP Filter: Price must be above the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). This is the final confirmation that the market is in a strong, bullish phase, with buyers dominating the market. By requiring all these conditions to align, this strategy takes the guesswork out of day trading. It ensures you're trading within a well-established trend, with compression patterns and momentum backing your trade. The result? You’re entering positions with confidence and clarity, poised to ride strong, sustained moves. This strategy is for the trader who values both flexibility and discipline—able to capture dynamic moves while staying aligned with market structure and momentum. It’s a refined, systematic approach that makes decisions clear, without the emotional second-guessing.

SPY 0DTE Scalper - Auto AlertsTimeframes: Main chart: 1-minute (for precision entries) Confirmations: 3-minute or 5-minute (to avoid fakeouts) Indicators I Use: VWAP – Orange line → Institutional fair value EMA 9 – Green line → Short-term momentum EMA 21 – Red line → Trend filter Custom Pullback Signal Script – Marks buy/sell/pullback signals with labels (triangles) Above VWAP = Bullish Bias Below VWAP = Bearish Bias Institutions treat this as the "fair price" — so I do too. EMA 9 (Green): If price hugs or bounces off EMA 9 = 🔥 strong continuation move. I use this as my guide for momentum. EMA 21 (Red): Great for trend confirmation. Above EMA 21 = Trend building to the upside. Below EMA 21 = Weakness or possible reversal. 💸 Step 3: How I Read the Signals ✅ BUY Signal: Price breaks above VWAP with volume 1.5x+ average Candle must close strong (not a wickfest) EMA 9 becomes my trailing stop for the move 🚨 SELL Signal: Price breaks below VWAP with strong volume Clean body close below → momentum shift to the downside EMA 9 again = trailing resistance guide 🔵 Pullback Long (Blue Triangle Under Candle): Bullish continuation entry Price pulls back to EMA 9 or 21, but stays above VWAP Low-risk re-entry after a breakout 🟣 Pullback Short (Purple Triangle Above Candle): Bearish continuation entry Price retraces into EMA 9, but stays below VWAP & EMA 21 Ideal for catching second legs after breakdowns

ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50I created this indicator inspired by RealSimpleAriel (a swing trader I recommend following on X) who does not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA and uses extensions from the 50 SMA at 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% to take profits with a 20% position trimming. RealSimpleAriel's strategy (as I understood it): -> Focuses on leading stocks from leading groups and industries, i.e., those that have grown the most in the last 1-3-6 months (see on Finviz groups and then select sector-industry). -> Targets stocks with the best technical setup for a breakout, above the 200 SMA in a bear market and above both the 50 SMA and 200 SMA in a bull market, selecting those with growing Earnings and Sales. -> Buys stocks on breakout with a stop loss set at the day's low of the breakout and ensures they are not extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA. -> 3-5 day momentum burst: After a breakout, takes profits by selling 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after a 3-5 day upward move. -> 20% trimming on extension from the 50 SMA: At 7 ADR% (ADR% calculated over 20 days) extension from the 50 SMA, takes profits by selling 20% of the remaining position. Continues to trim 20% of the remaining position based on the stock price extension from the 50 SMA, calculated using the 20-period ADR%, thus trimming 20% at 8-9-10-11 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA. Upon reaching 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA, considers the stock overextended, closes the remaining position, and evaluates a short. -> Trailing stop with ascending SMA: Uses a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50) as the definitive stop loss for the position, depending on the stock's movement speed (preferring larger SMAs for slower-moving stocks or for long-term theses). If the stock's closing price falls below the chosen SMA, the entire position is closed. In summary: -->Buy a breakout using the day's low of the breakout as the stop loss (this stop loss is the most critical). --> Do not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA. --> Sell 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after 3-5 days of upward movement. --> Trim 20% of the position at each 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA. --> Close the entire position if the breakout fails and the day's low of the breakout is reached. --> Close the entire position if the price, during the rise, falls below a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50, depending on your preference). --> Definitively close the position if it reaches 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA. I used Grok from X to create this indicator. I am not a programmer, but based on the ADR% I use, it works. Below is Grok from X's description of the indicator: Script Description The script is a custom indicator for TradingView that displays extension levels based on ADR% relative to the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Below is a detailed description of its features, structure, and behavior: 1. Purpose of the Indicator Name: "ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50". Objective: Draw horizontal blue lines above and below the 50-period SMA, corresponding to specific ADR% multiples (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). These levels represent potential price extension zones based on the average daily percentage volatility. Overlay: The indicator is overlaid on the price chart (overlay=true), so the lines and SMA appear directly on the price graph. 2. Configurable Inputs The indicator allows users to customize parameters through TradingView settings: SMA Length (smaLength): Default: 50 periods. Description: Specifies the number of periods for calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA). The 50-period SMA serves as the reference point for extension levels. Constraint: Minimum 1 period. ADR% Length (adrLength): Default: 20 periods. Description: Specifies the number of days to calculate the moving average of the daily high/low ratio, used to determine ADR%. Constraint: Minimum 1 period. Scale Factor (scaleFactor): Default: 1.0. Description: An optional multiplier to adjust the distance of extension levels from the SMA. Useful if levels are too close or too far due to an overly small or large ADR%. Constraint: Minimum 0.1, increments of 0.1. Tooltip: "Adjust if levels are too close or far from SMA". 3. Main Calculations 50-period SMA: Calculated with ta.sma(close, smaLength) using the closing price (close). Serves as the central line around which extension levels are drawn. ADR% (Average Daily Range Percentage): Formula: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1). Details: dhigh and dlow are the daily high and low prices, obtained via request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high/low) to ensure data is daily-based, regardless of the chart's timeframe. The dhigh / dlow ratio represents the daily percentage change. The simple moving average (ta.sma) of this ratio over 20 days (adrLength) is subtracted by 1 and multiplied by 100 to obtain ADR% as a percentage. The result is multiplied by scaleFactor for manual adjustments. Extension Levels: Defined as ADR% multiples: 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Stored in an array (levels) for easy iteration. For each level, prices above and below the SMA are calculated as: Above: sma50 * (1 + (level * adrPercent / 100)) Below: sma50 * (1 - (level * adrPercent / 100)) These represent price levels corresponding to a percentage change from the SMA equal to level * ADR%. 4. Visualization Horizontal Blue Lines: For each level (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ADR%), two lines are drawn: One above the SMA (e.g., +4 ADR%). One below the SMA (e.g., -4 ADR%). Color: Blue (color.blue). Style: Solid (style=line.style_solid). Management: Each level has dedicated variables for upper and lower lines (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1 for 4 ADR%). Previous lines are deleted with line.delete before drawing new ones to avoid overlaps. Lines are updated at each bar with line.new(bar_index , level, bar_index, level), covering the range from the previous bar to the current one. Labels: Displayed only on the last bar (barstate.islast) to avoid clutter. For each level, two labels: Above: E.g., "4 ADR%", positioned above the upper line (style=label.style_label_down). Below: E.g., "-4 ADR%", positioned below the lower line (style=label.style_label_up). Color: Blue background, white text. 50-period SMA: Drawn as a gray line (color.gray) for visual reference. Diagnostics: ADR% Plot: ADR% is plotted in the status line (orange, histogram style) to verify the value. ADR% Label: A label on the last bar near the SMA shows the exact ADR% value (e.g., "ADR%: 2.34%"), with a gray background and white text. 5. Behavior Dynamic Updating: Lines update with each new bar to reflect new SMA 50 and ADR% values. Since ADR% uses daily data ("D"), it remains constant within the same day but changes day-to-day. Visibility Across All Bars: Lines are drawn on every bar, not just the last one, ensuring visibility on historical data as well. Adaptability: The scaleFactor allows level adjustments if ADR% is too small (e.g., for low-volatility symbols) or too large (e.g., for cryptocurrencies). Compatibility: Works on any timeframe since ADR% is calculated from daily data. Suitable for symbols with varying volatility (e.g., stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies). 6. Intended Use Technical Analysis: Extension levels represent significant price zones based on average daily volatility. They can be used to: Identify potential price targets (e.g., take profit at +7 ADR%). Assess support/resistance zones (e.g., -4 ADR% as support). Measure price extension relative to the 50 SMA. Trading: Useful for strategies based on breakouts or mean reversion, where ADR% levels indicate reversal or continuation points. Debugging: Labels and ADR% plot help verify that values align with the symbol’s volatility. 7. Limitations Dependence on Daily Data: ADR% is based on daily dhigh/dlow, so it may not reflect intraday volatility on short timeframes (e.g., 1 minute). Extreme ADR% Values: For low-volatility symbols (e.g., bonds) or high-volatility symbols (e.g., meme stocks), ADR% may require adjustments via scaleFactor. Graphical Load: Drawing 16 lines (8 upper, 8 lower) on every bar may slow the chart for very long historical periods, though line management is optimized. ADR% Formula: The formula 100 * (sma(dhigh/dlow, Length) - 1) may produce different values compared to other ADR% definitions (e.g., (high - low) / close * 100), so users should be aware of the context. 8. Visual Example On a chart of a stock like TSLA (daily timeframe): The 50 SMA is a gray line tracking the average trend. Assuming an ADR% of 3%: At +4 ADR% (12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 1.12. At -4 ADR% (-12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 0.88. Other lines appear at ±7, ±8, ±9, ±10, ±11, ±12, ±13 ADR%. On the last bar, labels show "4 ADR%", "-4 ADR%", etc., and a gray label shows "ADR%: 3.00%". ADR% is visible in the status line as an orange histogram. 9. Code: Technical Structure Language: Pine Script @version=5. Inputs: Three configurable parameters (smaLength, adrLength, scaleFactor). Calculations: SMA: ta.sma(close, smaLength). ADR%: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1) * scaleFactor. Levels: sma50 * (1 ± (level * adrPercent / 100)). Graphics: Lines: Created with line.new, deleted with line.delete to avoid overlaps. Labels: Created with label.new only on the last bar. Plots: plot(sma50) for the SMA, plot(adrPercent) for debugging. Optimization: Uses dedicated variables for each line (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1) for clear management and to respect TradingView’s graphical object limits. 10. Possible Improvements Option to show lines only on the last bar: Would reduce visual clutter. Customizable line styles: Allow users to choose color or style (e.g., dashed). Alert for anomalous ADR%: A message if ADR% is too small or large. Dynamic levels: Allow users to specify ADR% multiples via input. Optimization for short timeframes: Adapt ADR% for intraday timeframes. Conclusion The script creates a visual indicator that helps traders identify price extension levels based on daily volatility (ADR%) relative to the 50 SMA. It is robust, configurable, and includes debugging tools (ADR% plot and labels) to verify values. The ADR% formula based on dhigh/dlow

Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based) This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes. What Does It Do? Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior. Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals: SC (Selling Climax) AR (Automatic Rally) ST (Secondary Test) BC (Buying Climax) DAR (Automatic Reaction) DST (Secondary Test - Distribution) Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement. Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals. Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals. How Does It Work? RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable). Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable). Trend Box Drawing: When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range. If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution). Wyckoff Structural Points: SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold. AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC. ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR. How to Use It Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise. Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology. Box colors help quickly identify market phase: Green box: Likely Accumulation Red box: Likely Distribution Triangular markers show key signals: SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases. image.binance.vision image.binance.vision What Is the Wyckoff Method? The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements. Wyckoff’s 5 Phases: Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices. Markup: Price begins trending upwards. Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders. Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand. Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations. This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution). Extra Notes Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles. Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style. Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates. This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.

Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX --- ### OVERVIEW **Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision. --- ### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle. The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar. --- ### ALGORITHM DETAIL 1. **ANCHOR BAR** *You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**. 2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7** • `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance. • `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance. 3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14** • Price must stay inside ` `. • Any violation aborts the test; no box is created. 4. **ARMED STATE** • If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear: – **Green** at `rangeHigh` – **Red** at `rangeLow` • The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout. 5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION** • **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**. • **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**. • Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again. • Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge. 6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN** • After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it. --- ### INPUT PARAMETERS • **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence. • **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows. • **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks. • **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable). • **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box. --- ### USER WORKFLOW 1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open). 2. Watch live as the script: – Paints the seven-bar range. – Draws validation lines. – Locks in the box on breakout. 3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades. --- ### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS • **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break. • **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility. • **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket. • **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk. --- ### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS • **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open). • **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile). • **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data. --- ### FINAL THOUGHTS Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.

Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES --- ### OVERVIEW **Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology. The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout. Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows. --- ### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND * Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world. * Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent. * His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.” * Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box. * This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe. --- ### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE) **STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**  • Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).  • Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.  • Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.  • Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).  • Immediately transition to STATE 1. **STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**  • Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).  • If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.  • If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2. **STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**  • Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.  • Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.  • Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.  • Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:   – **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.   – **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`. **STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**  • Upon breakout the script:   1. Deletes the live range lines.   2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.     ◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.     ◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.   3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:     ◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.     ◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.  • After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles. --- ### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL) * **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments. * **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise. * **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes. * **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge. --- ### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION * During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold. * When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction. * This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag. --- ### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS * **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box. * **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals. * **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative. * **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples. * **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset. --- ### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS * **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility. * **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned. * **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets. * **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation. --- ### FINAL THOUGHTS **Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.
