The lengths for these calculations are adjustable via input fields, allowing users to customize the periods used for percentile calculations.
2. Percentile Levels:
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, R4): Plots resistance levels based on the 95th percentile of the high prices over different lengths (100, 200, 750, 4500).
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, S4): Plots support levels based on the 5th percentile of the low prices over different lengths (100, 200, 750, 4500).
3. High-Timeframe Average:
Calculates and plots the average of the 750-period high and low percentiles (htfavg), which acts as a pivot point on the chart.
How to Use This Indicator:
1. Identify Key Support and Resistance Levels:
Use the plotted resistance (R1, R2, R3, R4) and support (S1, S2, S3, S4) levels to identify key areas where price may reverse or consolidate.
2. Pivot Point Analysis:
The plotted pivot point (htfavg) can be used to identify potential areas of trend change or consolidation. It represents the average price level based on higher timeframe percentiles.
3. Trend Analysis:
By observing how price interacts with these percentile levels, traders can gain insights into market trends and potential reversal points.
Customization:
The input fields allow you to customize the lengths of the percentiles and the percentile plot values according to your trading strategy and timeframe preference.
In summary, this indicator can help traders identify significant support and resistance levels, potential pivot points, and overall market trends based on percentile calculations of high and low prices over various periods. This can be valuable for making informed trading decisions and setting entry and exit points.

Candle Riders CR1Overview
The **Candle Riders CR1** is an advanced trading tool designed to help traders anticipate potential market movements. It calculates three key levels – **Cpoint**, **Rpoint**, and **CRgap** – based on the high, low, and close values of the last 3 candles. These levels offer insights into possible price trends, reversals, and risk-to-reward scenarios, helping traders make more informed decisions.
This indicator is unique because it projects levels for the **next candle**, allowing traders to prepare for potential price movements rather than reacting to completed candles.
Key Features
1. **Cpoint**
- Indicates a potential price level for the next candle.
- If a **green signal** appears on the current candle, the upcoming candle might show an upward movement, with a tendency to reach the Cpoint.
- If a **red signal** appears, the next candle could show a downward movement towards the Cpoint.
2. **Rpoint**
- Represents a level where a trend reversal could occur.
- When the price reaches the Rpoint, it signals a potential change in direction.
- In case of a green signal, this could indicate a shift from an upward to a downward movement. Conversely, a red signal at the Rpoint might suggest a shift from downward to upward.
3. **CRgap**
- Reflects the distance between the last candle's closing price and the calculated Cpoint/Rpoint.
- It helps traders evaluate the risk-to-reward ratio for their potential trades.
- In case of a green signal, CRgap indicates the potential distance the price could move towards the Cpoint. If the price approaches the Rpoint, the same CRgap can guide target and stop levels.
- For a red signal, CRgap similarly represents the possible movement towards the Cpoint or a reversal at the Rpoint.
How It Works
The **Candle Riders CR1** uses a mathematical formula to calculate levels from the last 3 candles’ high, low, and close values. These levels provide a forward-looking view, projecting possible price movements for the **next candle**:
- **Green Signal on Current Candle**: Suggests a positive trend in the upcoming candle, with the price likely to move towards the Cpoint. The CRgap indicates the expected price movement, helping to set a risk-to-reward framework. If the price reaches the Rpoint, a reversal may occur, suggesting a change in direction.
- **Red Signal on Current Candle**: Implies a negative trend for the next candle, with the price tending to move towards the Cpoint. Here too, the CRgap helps assess risk and reward. If the price touches the Rpoint, a reversal might take place, indicating a potential upward movement.
- **Position Management**: If neither Cpoint nor Rpoint is reached, it is advisable to conclude the position when the current candle closes. However, if the same signal continues, the position can be carried forward to the next candle, although the levels for Cpoint, Rpoint, and CRgap will change.
Special Aspects
- **Predictive Analysis**: Unlike conventional indicators, CR1 calculates potential levels for the **next candle**, enabling traders to anticipate market movements.
- **Dynamic Updates**: Levels are recalculated with each new candle, ensuring relevance to evolving market conditions.
- **Multi-Time Frame Compatibility**: Suitable for all time frames, catering to intraday, swing, and positional traders.
Recommended Time Frames
Based on our **observations and back-testing**, the **Candle Riders CR1** has shown **consistent and reliable performance on the 15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour time frames**. These intervals appear to provide a balanced view of market movements, capturing trends effectively while minimizing noise.
While the indicator is versatile and can be used across various time frames, these specific durations have demonstrated a **higher degree of accuracy** and **clearer signal interpretation**.
It is important to note that past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Traders are encouraged to explore and adapt the time frames according to their trading style and risk appetite.
How to Use on
1. **Trend Anticipation**: Observe the signal on the current candle:
- **Green Signal**: Anticipate an upward movement in the next candle towards the Cpoint. Use CRgap to evaluate the potential movement. If the price approaches the Rpoint, it signals a potential reversal.
- **Red Signal**: Expect a downward movement in the next candle towards the Cpoint, using CRgap for risk-to-reward assessment. A reversal may occur if the price reaches the Rpoint.
2. **Reversal Indication**: The Rpoint serves as a crucial level for identifying potential trend reversals.
3. **Risk Management**: Utilize CRgap to set target and risk levels, aligning trades with calculated risk-to-reward ratios.
4. **Position Closure and Carry Forward**:
- If no significant movement occurs, consider closing the position at the candle’s end.
- If the same signal persists, the position can be carried forward to the next candle, keeping in mind that levels will be recalculated.
Important Notes
- The levels (Cpoint, Rpoint, CRgap) are calculated for the **next candle**, not the current one.
- Once the current candle closes, new levels are calculated, ensuring that the indicator remains forward-looking.
- These levels are meant to provide context and should be used as a guiding tool along with other trading strategies.
Disclaimer
The **Candle Riders CR1** indicator uses mathematical calculations to project potential price levels. These projections are for **informational and educational purposes only** and are not recommendations or guarantees of future price movements.
- Cpoint and Rpoint levels are based on historical market data and indicate potential price movement or reversal areas.
- CRgap helps traders evaluate risk-to-reward scenarios but should not be the sole basis for trading decisions.
- All trading decisions should be made with independent analysis and proper risk management.
Why It’s Special
1. **Forward-Looking Projections**: It predicts potential levels for the next candle, offering an anticipatory trading advantage.
2. **Dynamic Adaptation**: The indicator adapts to changing market conditions, recalculating levels with each new candle.
3. **Comprehensive Risk Analysis**: By calculating CRgap, it provides a clear framework for evaluating risk-to-reward ratios.
4. **Versatile Application**: Compatible with all time frames and markets, making it adaptable for different trading strategies.
5. **Suggested Time Frames**: Based on our experience, the **15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour** time frames have shown consistent and reliable performance.
BPR [TakingProphets]The BPR (Balanced Price Range) Indicator by Taking Prophets is built for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and smart money strategies. In ICT methodology, a Balanced Price Range (BPR) occurs when price rapidly moves in one direction, creating an imbalance that often gets revisited before price continues its trend. These areas represent inefficiencies in the market where liquidity was not properly distributed, making them key zones for potential retracements and trade setups.
How the Indicator Works:
🔹 Automatically Detects BPRs – No need to manually mark imbalances; the indicator highlights them for you.
🔹 Helps Identify Smart Money Footprints – Spot areas where price is likely to retrace and rebalance liquidity.
🔹 Customizable Sensitivity – Adjust detection parameters based on your preferred trading style.
🔹 Works Across All Markets – Apply it to Forex, Futures, Crypto, and Stocks on TradingView.
🔹 Clean and Intuitive Interface – Designed to be simple yet powerful for both new and experienced traders.
The Ultimate Lot Size Calculator Backstory
I created this Pine Script tool to calculate lot sizes with precision. While there are many lot size calculators available on TradingView, I found that most had significant flaws. I started teaching myself Pine Script over three and a half years ago with the sole purpose of building this tool. My first version was messy and lacked accuracy, so I never published it. I wanted it to be better than any other available tool, but my limited knowledge back then held me back.
Recently, I received a request to create a similar tool, as the current options still fail to deliver the precision and reliability traders need. This inspired me to revisit my original idea. With improved skills and a better understanding of Pine Script, I redesigned the tool from scratch, making it as precise, reliable, and efficient as possible.
This tool features built-in error detection to minimize mistakes and ensure accuracy in lot size calculations. I've spent more time on this project than on any other, focusing on delivering a solution that stands out on TradingView. While I plan to add more features based on user feedback, the current version is already a powerful, dependable, and easy-to-use tool for traders who value precision and efficiency in their lot size calculations.
How to use the tool ?
At first it might seem complicated, but it is quite easy to use the tool. There are two modes: auto and manual. By default, the tool is set on manual mode. When you apply the tool on the chart, it will ask you to choose the entry price, then the stop-loss price, and at last the take-profit price. Select all of them one by one. These values can be changed later.
Settings
There are various setting given for making the tool as flexible as possible. Here is the explanation for some of most important settings. Play with them and make yourself comfortable.
General settings
Auto mode : Use this mode if you want the the risk reward to be fixed and stop loss to be based on ATR. However the stop loss can be changed to be based on user input.
Manual mode : Use this mode if you want full control over entry, stop loss and take profit.
Contract Size : The tool works perfectly for all forex pairs including gold and silver but as the contract size is different for different assets it is difficult to add every single asset into the script manually so i have provided this option. In case you want to calculate lot size for a asset other then forex, gold or silver make sure to change this. Contract size = Quantity of the asset in 1 standerd lot.
Account settings
Automatic mode settings and ATR stop settings
Manual mode settings
Table and risk-reward box settings are pretty much self-explanatory i guess.
Error handling
A lot size calculator is a complex program. There are numerous points where it may fail and produce incorrect results. To make it robust and accurate, these issues must be addressed and managed properly, which practically all existing lot size calculator scripts fail to do.
Golden tip
When the symbol is changed it will display a symbol change warning as the entry, stop loss and take profit price won't change.
There are 2 ways to get fix this. Either manually enter all three values which i hate the most or remove the script from the chart and re-apply the script on chart again.
So to re-apply the indicator in most easy way follow the following instructions:
Note : If you encounter any other error then read the instruction to fix it and if it is an unknow error pleas report it to me in comments or DM.
Boilerplate Configurable Strategy [Yosiet]This is a Boilerplate Code!
Hello! First of all, let me introduce myself a little bit. I don't come from the world of finance, but from the world of information and communication technologies (ICT) where we specialize in data processing with the aim of automating it and eliminating all human factors and actors in the processes. You could say that I am an algotrader.
That said, in my journey through trading in recent years I have understood that this world is often shown to be incomplete. All those who want to learn about trading only end up learning a small part of what it really entails, they only seek to learn how to read candlesticks. Therefore, I want to share with the entire community a fraction of what I have really understood it to be.
As a computer scientist, the most important thing is the data, it is the raw material of our work and without data you simply cannot do anything. Entropy is simple: Data in -> Data is transformed -> Data out.
The quality of the outgoing data will directly depend on the incoming data, there is no greater mystery or magic in the process. In trading it is no different, because at the end of the day it is nothing more than data. As we often say, if garbage comes in, garbage comes out.
Most people focus on the results only, on the outgoing data, because in the end we all want the same thing, to make easy money. Very few pay attention to the input data, much less to the process.
Now, I am not here to delude you, because there is no bigger lie than easy money, but I am here to give you a boilerplate code that will help you create strategies where you only have to concentrate on the quality of the incoming data.
To the Point
The code is a strategy boilerplate that applies the technique that you decide to customize for the criteria for opening a position. It already has the other factors involved in trading programmed and automated.
1. The Entry
This section of the boilerplate is the one that each individual must customize according to their needs and knowledge. The code is offered with two simple, well-known strategies to exemplify how the code can be reused for your own benefits.
For the purposes of this post on tradingview, I am going to use the simplest of the known strategies in trading for entries: SMA Crossing
// SMA Cross Settings
maFast = ta.sma(close, length)
maSlow = ta.sma(open, length)
The Strategy Properties for all cases published here:
For Stock TSLA H1 From 01/01/2025 To 02/15/2025
For Crypto XMR-USDT 30m From 01/01/2025 To 02/15/2025
For Forex EUR-USD 5m From 01/01/2025 To 02/15/2025
But the goal of this post is not to sell you a dream, else to show you that the same Entry decision works very well for some and does not for others and with this boilerplate code you only have to think of entries, not exits.
2. Schedules, Days, Sessions
As you know, there are an infinite number of markets that are susceptible to the sessions of each country and the news that they announce during those sessions, so the code already offers parameters so that you can condition the days and hours of operation, filter the best time parameters for a specific market and time frame.
3. Data Filtering
The data offered in trading are numerical series presented in vectors on a time axis where an endless number of mathematical equations can be applied to process them, with matrix calculation and non-linear regressions being the best, in my humble opinion.
4. Read Fundamental Macroeconomic Events, News
The boilerplate has integration with the tradingview SDK to detect when news will occur and offers parameters so that you can enable an exclusion time margin to not operate anything during that time window.
5. Direction and Sense
In my experience I have found the peculiarity that the same algorithm works very well for a market in a time frame, but for the same market in another time frame it is only a waste of time and money. So now you can easily decide if you only want to open LONG, SHORT or both side positions and know how effective your strategy really is.
6. Reading the money, THE PURPOSE OF EVERYTHING
The most important section in trading and the reason why many clients usually hire me as a financial programmer, is reading and controlling the money, because in the end everyone wants to win and no one wants to lose. Now they can easily parameterize how the money should flow and this is the genius of this boilerplate, because it is what will really decide if an algorithm (Indicator: A bunch of math equations) for entries will really leave you good money over time.
7. Managing the Risk, The Ego Destroyer
Many trades, little money. Most traders focus on making money and none of them know about statistics and the few who do know something about it, only focus on the winrate. Well, with this code you can unlock what really matters, the true success criteria to be able to live off of trading: Profit Factor, Sortino Ratio, Sharpe Ratio and most importantly, will you really make money?
8. Managing Emotions
Finally, the main reason why many lose money is because they are very bad at managing their emotions, because with this they will no longer need to do so because the boilerplate has already programmed criteria to chase the price in a position, cut losses and maximize profits.
In short, this is a boilerplate code that already has the data processing and data output ready, you only have to worry about the data input.
“And so the trader learned: the greatest edge was not in predicting the storm, but in building a boat that could not sink.”
DISCLAIMER
This post is intended for programmers and quantitative traders who already have a certain level of knowledge and experience. It is not intended to be financial advice or to sell you any money-making script, if you use it, you do so at your own risk.

Smart ChannelThe "Smart Channel" indicator is designed to dynamically identify and plot price channels on a chart. It uses a statistical approach based on Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine the best-fit channel for both short-term and long-term trends. This allows traders to visualize potential support and resistance levels, identify trend direction, and potentially anticipate breakouts or reversals.
How it Works:
Data Input: The indicator takes a source input (typically the closing price) as the basis for its calculations.
Period Selection: It defines two sets of lookback periods: one for short-term analysis and one for long-term analysis. The code iterates through these periods, calculating a linear regression and standard deviation for each.
Pearson's Correlation: For each period, the indicator calculates Pearson's R, which measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between price and time. A higher absolute value of Pearson's R indicates a stronger trend.
Best Fit Channel: The indicator identifies the period with the highest Pearson's R for both short-term and long-term and uses the corresponding linear regression parameters (slope and intercept) to define the midline of the channel.
Standard Deviation: The standard deviation of the price data around the regression line is calculated. This is used to define the upper and lower boundaries of the channel. The channel width is controlled by a "Deviation Multiplier" input.
Channel Plotting: The indicator plots the midline, upper boundary, and lower boundary of the channel on the chart. Separate channels are plotted for the short-term and long-term best-fit periods, using different colors for easy visual distinction.
Dynamic Updates: The channel is dynamically updated as new price data becomes available, adjusting to the evolving market trend.
Key Inputs and Settings:
Source: The price data used for calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low, etc.).
Use Long-Term Channel: A boolean input to enable/disable the calculation and plotting of the long-term channel.
Deviation Multiplier: Controls the width of the channel (how many standard deviations away from the midline the boundaries are).
Channel/Midline Colors and Transparency: Customizable colors and transparency levels for the channel lines and fill.
Line Styles: Options for solid, dotted, or dashed lines for the channel boundaries and midline.
Extend Style: How the channel lines should extend (right, both, none, left).
Interpretation and Usage:
Trend Identification: The direction of the midline indicates the prevailing trend. An upward-sloping midline suggests an uptrend, while a downward-sloping midline suggests a downtrend.
Support and Resistance: The upper and lower channel boundaries can act as potential support and resistance levels.
Breakouts: A price move outside of the channel boundaries may signal a potential breakout or reversal.
Overbought/Oversold: Prices touching or exceeding the upper boundary might suggest an overbought condition, while prices touching or exceeding the lower boundary might suggest an oversold condition.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term: Comparing the short-term and long-term channels can provide insights into the overall market context. For example, a short-term uptrend within a long-term downtrend might suggest a potential buying opportunity before the larger trend resumes.
IPO Date ScreenerThis script, the IPO Date Screener, allows traders to visually identify stocks that are relatively new, based on the number of bars (days) since their IPO. The user can set a custom threshold for the number of days (bars) after the IPO, and the script will highlight new stocks that fall below that threshold.
Key Features:
Customizable IPO Days Threshold: Set the threshold for considering a stock as "new." Since Pine screener limits number bars to 500, it will work for stocks having trading days below 500 since IPO which almost 2 years.
Column Days since IPO: Sort this column from low to high to see newest to oldest STOCK with 500 days of trading.
Since a watchlist is limited to 1000 stocks, use this pines script to screen stocks within the watch list having trading days below 500 or user can select lower number of days from settings.
This is not helpful to add on chart, this is to use on pine screener as utility.
IronCondor 10am 30TF by RMThe IronCondor 10am 30TF indicator shows Iron Condor trades win rate over a large number of days.
The default ETFs in this indicators are "QQQ", "SPY", "RUT" , "CBTX" and "SPX", other entries have not been tested.
Iron Condor quick explanation:
- Iron Condors trades have four options, generally, are based around a Midpoint price (Current Market Price Strike) and
- Two equally distances Strikes for the SELL components (called the Body of the Iron Condor)
- Further away from the two SELLs, another Two BUYs for protection (not considered in this indicator)
- Iron Condors are used for Passive Income based on small gains most of the time.
The IronCondor 10am 30TF has its logic created based on the premises that:
- Most days the market prices stay within a range.
- As example the S&P market prices would stay within 1% on about 80% of the time
- The moving markets (bullish or bearish) occur about 20% of the time
- The biggest market price volatility generally occurs before market opens and then around the first hour or so of trade in the day.
- After the first hour or so of the market the prices would be most likely to stay within a range.
The operation is simple:
- At the Trade Star time in the day (say 10:30 Hrs.) draws a vertical yellow line, then
- Creates two blue horizontal lines for the SELL limits in the Iron Condor Body, at +/- 1% price boundary (check Ticker list below for values)
- At the Trade End time (say 16:00 Hrs.) checks that none of the SELL limits have been broken by highs or lows during the trade day
(The check is done calculating at Trade End time the high/lows 10 bars back for 30 min TF - timeframe)
- There is a label at each Trade End time with Win/Loss and Body value.
- There is one final label with overall calculated past performance in Win percentage out of 'n' trades
Defaults and User Entries:
- The User can modify the Midpoint price called 'IronCondor Midpoint STRIKE' (default is the Candle Close at the selected time)
- The User can modify the Body value called 'IronCondor Body' (default is the Ticker's selected value as per list below)
"QQQ" or "SPY" Body = 5
"RUT" or "CBTX" Body = 20
"SPX" Body = 60

[TehThomas] - Market Open StatusThe Market Open Status indicator is designed to help traders quickly determine whether the major financial markets—London, New York, and Asia—are currently open or closed. It does this by displaying a table on the chart with real-time status updates based on the UTC offsets you configure in the settings.
Key Features:
✅ Automatic Time Adjustments – The indicator automatically updates the displayed market times when you adjust the Chart UTC Offset in the settings.
✅ Configurable UTC Offsets – You can manually set both the Chart UTC Offset (for the trading pair's timezone) and your Local UTC Offset to ensure accurate time conversions.
✅ Live Market Status Display – The table clearly indicates whether the London, New York, and Asia markets are currently Open (green) or Closed (red).
✅ Daylight Savings Time (DST) Adjustments – The indicator automatically detects if any market is in DST and adjusts the market times accordingly.
✅ Real-Time Local Time Display – It also provides a live clock showing the current time based on your local UTC offset.
How to Set Up the Indicator Correctly
It is important to select the correct UTC offset that matches the market’s timezone for the asset you are trading.
To find the correct offset, look at the top left of your TradingView chart, where the market open symbol (green or red dot) is displayed.
The timezone displayed there corresponds to the asset’s market timezone—enter this value as your Chart UTC Offset in the indicator settings.
(You can't see the red or green dot on the screenshot but it should be displayed in that location.)
Set Your Local UTC Offset
Enter the UTC offset for your location to enable proper local time conversion in the table.
The Indicator Will Adjust the Market Open/Close Times Automatically
Once the correct UTC offsets are set, the indicator will automatically update and display the correct market times relative to your local time.
This tool is extremely useful for traders who want to stay informed about global market sessions and plan their trades accordingly. Proper setup ensures accurate market hours, reducing confusion and helping with time-sensitive trading strategies. 🚀
Forward Curve Visualization ToolProvide the spot symbol and the futures product root, and the script automatically scans all relevant contracts for you—no more tedious manual searches. The result is a clean, intuitive chart showing the live forward curve in real time.
It also detects contango or backwardation conditions (based on spot < F1 < F2 < F3).
Future Features:
Plot historical snapshots of the curve (1 day, 1 week, or 1 month ago) to understand market trends over time.
Display additional metrics such as annualized basis, cost of carry (CoC), and even volume or open interest for deeper insights.

Son Model ICT [TradingFinder] HTF DOL H1 + Sweep M15 + FVG M1🔵 Introduction
The ICT Son Model setup is a precise trading strategy based on market structure and liquidity, implemented across multiple timeframes. This setup first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe to validate the trend. After confirmation, the price forms a new swing in the 5-minute timeframe, absorbing liquidity.
Once this level is broken, traders typically drop to the 30-second (30s) timeframe and enter trades based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). However, since access to the 30-second timeframe is not available to most traders, we take the entry signal directly from the 5-minute timeframe, using the same liquidity zones and confirmed breakouts to execute trades. This approach simplifies execution and makes the strategy accessible to all traders.
This model operates in two setups :
Bullish ICT Son Model and Bearish ICT Son Model. In the bullish setup, liquidity is first accumulated at the lows of the 1-hour timeframe, and after confirming a market structure shift, a long position is initiated. Conversely, in the bearish setup, liquidity is first drawn from higher levels, and upon confirmation of a bearish trend, a short position is executed.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Son Model setup is designed around liquidity analysis and market structure shifts and can be applied in both bullish and bearish market conditions. The strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe.
After this shift, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity. When this level is broken in the 5-minute timeframe, the trader enters based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). While the ideal entry is in the 30-second (30s) timeframe, due to accessibility constraints, we take entry signals directly from the 5-minute timeframe.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish ICT Son Model, the 1-hour timeframe first identifies liquidity at the market lows, where price sweeps this level to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bullish shift.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a higher level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a long position, placing the stop-loss below the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish ICT Son Model, liquidity at higher market levels is identified in the 1-hour timeframe, where price sweeps these levels to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bearish trend.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a lower level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a short position, placing the stop-loss above the FVG.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Son Model setup is a structured and precise method for trade execution based on liquidity analysis and market structure shifts. This strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe and then confirms a trend shift using the 5-minute timeframe.
Trade entries are executed based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which highlight optimal entry points. By applying this model, traders can leverage existing market liquidity to enter high-probability trades. The bullish setup activates when liquidity is swept from market lows and a market structure shift confirms an upward trend, whereas the bearish setup is used when liquidity is drawn from market highs, confirming a downtrend.
This approach enables traders to identify high-probability trade setups with greater precision compared to many other strategies. Additionally, since access to the 30-second timeframe is limited, the strategy remains fully functional in the 5-minute timeframe, making it more practical and accessible for a wider range of traders.

Stochastic-Dynamic Volatility Band ModelThe Stochastic-Dynamic Volatility Band Model is a quantitative trading approach that leverages statistical principles to model market volatility and generate buy and sell signals. The strategy is grounded in the concepts of volatility estimation and dynamic market regimes, where the core idea is to capture price fluctuations through stochastic models and trade around volatility bands.
Volatility Estimation and Band Construction
The volatility bands are constructed using a combination of historical price data and statistical measures, primarily the standard deviation (σ) of price returns, which quantifies the degree of variation in price movements over a specific period. This methodology is based on the classical works of Black-Scholes (1973), which laid the foundation for using volatility as a core component in financial models. Volatility is a crucial determinant of asset pricing and risk, and it plays a pivotal role in this strategy's design.
Entry and Exit Conditions
The entry conditions are based on the price’s relationship with the volatility bands. A long entry is triggered when the price crosses above the lower volatility band, indicating that the market may have been oversold or is experiencing a reversal to the upside. Conversely, a short entry is triggered when the price crosses below the upper volatility band, suggesting overbought conditions or a potential market downturn.
These entry signals are consistent with the mean reversion theory, which asserts that asset prices tend to revert to their long-term average after deviating from it. According to Poterba and Summers (1988), mean reversion occurs due to overreaction to news or temporary disturbances, leading to price corrections.
The exit condition is based on the number of bars that have elapsed since the entry signal. Specifically, positions are closed after a predefined number of bars, typically set to seven bars, reflecting a short-term trading horizon. This exit mechanism is in line with short-term momentum trading strategies discussed in literature, where traders capitalize on price movements within specific timeframes (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).
Market Adaptability
One of the key features of this strategy is its dynamic nature, as it adapts to the changing volatility environment. The volatility bands automatically adjust to market conditions, expanding in periods of high volatility and contracting when volatility decreases. This dynamic adjustment helps the strategy remain robust across different market regimes, as it is capable of identifying both trend-following and mean-reverting opportunities.
This dynamic adaptability is supported by the adaptive market hypothesis (Lo, 2004), which posits that market participants evolve their strategies in response to changing market conditions, akin to the adaptive nature of biological systems.

Moneyball EMA-MACD indicator [VinnieTheFish]Summary of the Moneyball EMA-MACD Indicator Script
Author: VinnieTheFish
Purpose:
This indicator helps traders identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and potential trade signals based on EMA and MACD crossovers.
This Pine Script is a custom indicator that combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) to analyze price trends and momentum. The script uses a custom 9/50 MACD with a 16 smoothing period. The script is written in a way that you can create your own custom MACD settings and create alerts based on those parameters. The chart bars are color coded based on the relative position of the MACD and Signal line primarily for bullish long trade setups.
Bar color coding helps the trader spot potential reversals based on where the price currently resides in relation to the custom 9/50 EMA based MACD and the 16 period smoothing period for the signal line. Indicator also has custom alerts to notify the trader when a potential trade setup exists that correspond with the bar color change.
Question: So why is this called the Moneywell EMA-MACD Indicator?
Answer: In the movie Moneyball the Oakland A's broke down how to win a championship based on data. To make the playoffs you needed so many wins, then broken down by runs and then broken down to base hits. A base hit was good as a walk. With trading often times we look too often for home runs and ignore the importance of getting on base with small wins. This indicator was designed on shorter timeframes to identify those base hits, but can also be adapted to higher timeframes for swing trading.
Key Features:
User Inputs:
Configurable fast and slow lengths for MACD calculation.
Choice between SMA and EMA for oscillator and signal line smoothing.
Customizable signal smoothing length.
EMA Calculation:
Computes 3 EMA, 9 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA to track short-term and long-term trends.
MACD Calculation:
Computes MACD using either SMA or EMA based on user selection.
Generates the MACD signal line for comparison.
Crossover Conditions:
Detects MACD and Signal line crossovers above and below the zero line.
Identifies price momentum shifts.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Green: MACD is above 0 and above the signal line.
White: MACD is below the signal line.
Orange: MACD is below 0 but above the signal line.
Fuchsia: Bullish EMA 3/9 cross but price is still below the 20/50 EMA.
Alerts for Key Trading Signals:
MACD crossing above/below the zero line.
Signal line crossing above/below the zero line.
MACD reaching new highs/lows.
Alerts for colored bar conditions.
Candlestick Color Change AlertIt is an alert for change of candlestick color.
Identifies Candle Type
A candle is bullish if the closing price is higher than the opening price.
A candle is bearish if the closing price is lower than the opening price.
Detects a Color Change
The script checks if the current candle is bullish while the previous candle was bearish, or vice versa.
If a change is detected, an alert is triggered.
Triggers an Alert
Users receive an alert notification whenever a candlestick color change occurs.
Alerts can be set for popup, email, mobile push, or webhook notifications.
Visual Highlighting (Optional)
The script can also apply a background color (blue) on the chart to visually mark color changes.

Features:
✅ 1-Hour Trailing Stop: Uses an ATR-based trailing stop mechanism to track trend direction and dynamic support/resistance.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Approach: The trailing stop is calculated on the 1-hour timeframe, while the ZigZag and Fibonacci retracement levels are based on the 15-minute chart.
✅ ZigZag Structure Detection: Helps filter market swings and trend reversals dynamically.
✅ Fibonacci Levels (0.5 & 0.786): Key retracement levels to watch for price reactions.
✅ Alerts for Key Levels: Get notified when the price crosses important levels (1H trailing stop, Fib 0.5, Fib 0.786).
How It Works:
The trailing stop adapts dynamically based on ATR values and determines trend direction.
ZigZag detection filters out minor price movements to highlight major swing points.
Fibonacci levels are calculated based on ZigZag swings, helping traders spot potential reversal zones.
This tool is useful for trend-following traders, breakout traders, and Fibonacci-based strategies.

HTF Trend IdentificationThis indicator identifies higher timeframe (HTF) trends and plots them on the chart. It uses a fixed higher timeframe input and a selectable source to calculate the HTF value. The indicator also plots an EMA and colors the candles based on the HTF trend and EMA crossover.
**Features:**
* **HTF Trend Identification:** Calculates and plots a higher timeframe trend based on a user-defined source and fixed timeframe. This allows you to visualize the larger trend context on your current chart.
* **Repainting Option:** Provides a toggle to control whether the HTF calculation repaints. Disabling repainting ensures that past HTF signals remain fixed, but may introduce a slight lag. Enabling repainting provides more up-to-date signals, but can cause past signals to change.
* **Customizable Colors:** Allows users to set custom colors for uptrends and downtrends.
* **EMA Plot:** Includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) plot with a customizable length and offset. The EMA color changes based on the HTF trend.
* **Candle Coloring:** Colors the candles based on the HTF trend, providing a clear visual representation of the overall trend direction.
* **Alerts:** (This would require adding alert conditions to the code, which I can do if you'd like) Could be extended to include alerts for HTF trend changes or EMA crossovers.
**Inputs:**
* **Repainting:** On/Off toggle to control repainting of the HTF calculation.
* **Source:** Select the source for HTF calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low, etc.).
* **Fixed Higher Timeframe:** Set the higher timeframe for trend calculation (e.g., 1D, 4H, 1W). *Note: Timeframes smaller than the current chart's timeframe are not allowed.*
* **Up Color:** Color for uptrends.
* **Down Color:** Color for downtrends.
* **EMA Length 1:** Length of the EMA.

Candle Momentum ExhaustionCandle Momentum Exhaustion
The Candle Momentum Exhaustion indicator is designed to help traders spot potential turning points in a trend by identifying when the prevailing momentum may be “running on empty.” The indicator works by comparing the size of each candle’s body (the absolute difference between the open and close) to the average body size over a recent period. When a candle’s body exceeds a user‐defined multiple of this average, it is flagged as an “exhaustion” candle.
• A bullish exhaustion (shown with a red down–facing triangle above the bar) occurs when a very large bullish candle (close > open) is detected, suggesting that buyers may have pushed the price too far and the rally could be near its end.
• A bearish exhaustion (shown with a green up–facing triangle below the bar) occurs when a very large bearish candle (close < open) is detected, implying that selling pressure might be overdone.
These signals can alert you to a potential reversal or consolidation point. The script also includes alert conditions so that you can set up notifications whenever an exhaustion signal is generated.
How It Works
1. Average Candle Body:
The script computes a simple moving average (SMA) of the absolute candle bodies over a user-defined period (default is 14 bars).
2. Exhaustion Candidate:
A candle is flagged as an exhaustion candidate if its body size exceeds the average by more than the set multiplier (default is 2.0).
3. Signal Identification:
• If the exhaustion candle is bullish (close > open), it is marked with a red down–facing triangle above the bar.
• If it is bearish (close < open), it is marked with a green up–facing triangle below the bar.
4. Alerts:
The built-in alertcondition() calls allow you to set alerts (via TradingView’s alert system) so that you can be notified when an exhaustion event occurs.
