OG Take OffThis indicator is put in place to help you identify the 3 market phases.
Consolidation can be indicated by either dots or color coded candlesticks . You can use both. Consolidation zones are represented by the dotted lines.
A green arrow indicates a buy signal. A red arrow indicates a sell signal.
Theme allows you to change the color of the background to whatever you like.
To change the color of the moving average, you must uncheck "Modern Theme Trend MA Color" under 'Style'.
When price is above 50 moving average on the higher timeframe and the color of the candle is green on the higher time frame, you are in a long market. When price is below the 50 moving average and the color of the candle is red on the higher timeframe, you are in a short market.
Trend puts a trend cloud on the chart. When green and above the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is long. Look for buys on the smaller time frame. When red and below the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is short on the smaller time frame. You can also draw an average price line through the middle of the consolidation box to tell you the directional bias.
The moving average is set to 50 by default but can be changed. You can also add 2 more moving averages to the chart. (Options: SMA , EMA , SWMA , WMA , VWMA , HMA )
Consolidation on the inputs page allows you to see when the market is consolidating with dots and color change of the candlesticks . Opacity of the dots can be changed under 'Style' (Upper Band Dots/Lower Band Dots) You can assume when the dots are below the candlestick , price is buying; when the dots ae above the candlesticks , price is selling.
't' and 'b' represent tops and bottoms and can help you recognize finding the top and bottom on the daily when doing top down analysis. It can also help you recognize double tops, double bottoms, triple tops, etc.
This indicator is best used on the 1 hr or 4 hr time frame. If you zoom out on the chart, you can notice when the market is consolidating, when the market is in expansion phase, and when the market is trending. When the market is in expansion phase, you may see a lot of 'swing low/swing high' action. When the market is trending, it takes off and doesn't look back.
If you enter on the 5 min and ride the 1 hr trend, that is a great idea. If you enter on the 15 min and ride the 4 hr trend, that is an even better idea.
The TP levels can be changed according to your risk reward ratio.
Contraction
Volume Contraction and ExpansionA simple indicator that shows volume expansion and contraction of a trend through colorization of the candles. It indicates the underlying volume support of a trend. This indicator might come in handy for any Elliott Wave analyst trying to incorporate volume into his analysis.
Exertion MeterHello traders, today I wanted to present you something special. I present you the Exertion Meter!
Created from scratch, this idea is based on a theory of mine called "Exertion".
Exertion occurs when price moves beyond the previous bar's range thus it has "exerted itself".
The idea is that when price moves a lot, it exerts a lot of energy which eventually leads to calmer motion, usually in the direction price has exerted itself.
Now, when price has exerted itself a lot in a particular direction, it's telling you that it will likely continue in that direction.
Once this happens, it will gradually calm down until price begins the cycle again, exerting itself in either the same or opposite direction.
This theory is similar to the theory of expansion & contraction phases.
This indicator attempts to show you where price has exerted itself by giving you a two lines cross signal.
The default settings are recommended, but experimentation is encouraged to fit your own personal system.
Both settings control the standard deviation line ( aka . Upper Bollinger Band ).

Keltner Channels WidthSimilar to bollinger bands width, but for keltner channels, designed to recognize when a move is exhausted and contraction is to be expected.
Would use it as a filter to stay out of any trades if the indicator peaks (red color).
R100 Volatility Combo Bands v1 (*v*)The Volatility Combo Bands are made from 4 separate volatility bands- two Bollinger Bands (10 and 20 period) and two Price Headley Acceleration Bands (10 and 20 period). The Volatility Combo Bands plot the innermost upper and lower points from these bands and then plots a mid-line. By default, only the standard 20 period Bollinger Bands and Combo Bands with mid-line are displayed, but can be configured however you want.
Try it out- see squeezes earlier, ride the bands earlier in trending markets, trade pullbacks to the Combo Bands and mid-line, trade the range of the band or use them to help identify potential support and resistance levels. Hopefully they can add another dimension to identifying volatility contraction patterns or whatever you currently use these things for!
I hope you get some value out of it. Only conditions of use are that if you improve it, let me know and if you publish something that uses it, don't hide the code! Enjoy!
Code for the Price Headley Acceleration Bands pinched and modified from LazyBear - thankyou.
SuperTrend Oscillator v3Version 3: Improved aesthetically, complete turnaround for the strategy with which to use this indicator.

Changes from v2 and looking forward: Indicator now uses a 14 length SuperTrend with no ATR multiplier. This my preferred use and I'd be grateful to hear your case for a different length/multiplier. Removed the Bollinger Bands and retracement dots due to these being gimmicky and marginally useful. There may be a version 4 should a similar concept using a rate of change analysis turn out to be useful. I have also tried -in vain- to plot internal trend peaks as horizontal S/R levels. Please pm if you are willing to help in that respect.
Strategy: The indicator will display the trend as a red/green area. It measures the spread between the closing price and the SuperTrend line, much like a CCI (close and ma). When the area contracts warning bars of the opposite trend color will warn of a reversal. When this happens, these areas will either be defended, reviving the trend, or will break, causing a trend flip. SuperTrend is unique in that breaks are typically large candles, and that its levels, especially on Weekly, Daily, Hourly, Minute timeframes, these levels will be defended (think similar to a 200sma or a 21ema). The STO making new highs within (internal) a trend is an overextension sign.
CVX Example: This is not a full analysis of CVX's stock , just an example potential trades. On the posted chart I used a weekly and a daily STO.
Long 1:The weekly showed warnings and then flipped. The daily made a double bottom, showed warnings and then flipped the daily STO at trendline support.
Long 2:The weekly still shows an uptrend, the daily made a weak break to downtrend and reversed back upwards at trendline support, forming a double bottom. Note the conservative exit when the STO made an internal new high.
Long 3: looking forward on CVX stock , the current downtrend made a weak break and is showing sings of reversal (pin bar) at horizontal support. Go long on flip of the daily (conservative) or flip of the hourly (aggressive).
