Order Blocks Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Order Blocks Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest order blocks in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the order blocks and the styling of the screener.
Features of the new Order Blocks Screener :
Find Latest Order Blocks Accross 5 Tickers
Latest Status, Restests, Bullish & Bearish Volume
Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
This screener then finds order blocks accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the order block.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the order block, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the order block.
Retests -> Retest means the price to invalidate the order block, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the order block.
For the bullish / bearish volume, check the "How Does It Work" section.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest order blocks and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener shows the number of the retests of the order block as an unique trait. Another unique ability of the screener is that it shows the latest valid order block's bullish and bearish volume in the dashboard.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan order blocks here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Multitimeframe
Ninja Trend v2Ninja Trend V2 is best for swing, day trading and scalping using higher timeframe bias and executing in the lower timeframes. Uses MACD for the overall bias and paints a Heikin-Ashi chart.
Settings:
Firstly, go to chart settings, check (tick) the body, uncheck borders and wicks.
Secondly, go to the script settings and input the following;
Source close
Fast moving average 7
Slow moving average 13
Signal length 4
For day trading and scalping, change the script settings timeframe to 15 minutes and use a smaller chart timeframe (M5 or M1)
For swinging change the script settings timeframe to Daily and use H4 chart timeframe.
Behind the code:
When the higher timeframe MACD histogram crosses and closes above zero line, script goes to neutral and paints grey bars waiting for the signal line to cross and close above the zero line and then paints green bars and a buy signal is generated.
When the higher timeframe MACD histogram crosses and closes below zero line, script goes to neutral and paints grey bars waiting for the signal line to cross and close below the zero line and then paints red bars.
Advantage of this is to filter out the chart noise by painting Heikin Ashi charts.
Signals:
Grey means neutral. No entries should be made.
Red means sells only. And then hold until the trend changes to green or use your desired TP and SL.
Green means buys only. And then hold until the trend changes to red or use your desired TP and SL.
HTF CandlesHTF Candles Indicator (High Time Frame Candles for Low Time Frame Charts)
Overview:
This indicator plots High Time Frame (HTF) candle boxes on Lower Time Frame (LTF) charts. The purpose is to provide traders with a visual representation of (HTF) candlestick movements on a lower timeframe (LTF) within a specified interval.
Usage:
Traders can utilize this indicator to gain insights into HTF candle movements on LTF charts. It helps in identifying the range, direction, and bodies of candles from a higher timeframe perspective.
HTF Candle Box Formation:
The script identifies the start of a new interval on the HTF by monitoring changes in the specified timeframe (Interval).
For each new interval, it records key data points, including the open, high, low, and bar index.
The indicator then uses this information to draw a box on the LTF chart, encapsulating the HTF candle's high and low.
Candle Body Representation:
Users can choose to include the candle body in the box (BodyCandleBox).
If selected, the script draws an additional box representing the HTF candle body, from the open to the previous bar's close.
Color Customization:
Traders can customize box colors for long and short candles on the HTF.
Boxes can be transparent or filled with a specified color.
Multiple Timeframes:
The script supports multiple timeframes simultaneously, allowing traders to overlay HTF candle boxes from different intervals on the same chart.
Configurable options (Interval, Interval1, Interval2) provide flexibility in selecting additional timeframes.
Note:
Understanding the visual representation of HTF candles on LTF charts can aid traders in making more informed decisions, especially when considering the interplay between different timeframes.
Horizontal Lines from Current PriceThis indicator will help traders track price fluctuations in smaller time frames more conveniently than ever before.
Here's how it works:
Starting from the current price, the indicator will draw horizontal lines spaced 10% apart.
Now, whenever zooming in or out of the chart, traders can visually determine the level of price volatility more easily.
Additionally, we also provide volume display (measured in USD) at the current candle position to assist traders in keeping track of market momentum more closely.
Installation guide for indicators:
After installing the indicator, make sure that the indicator is merged with the price chart.
Secondly, ensure that the scale bar of the indicator merges with the scale bar of the price chart.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Tracker by Ox_kaliThis script, is trend Tracker that serves as an analytical tool for assessing market trends through the lens of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) across multiple timeframes.

There are options to turn on and off any of the AVWAPs, as well as turning on and off the display labels below the candles.
Triple MA HTF Indicator - Dynamic SmoothingThe indicator version of the "Triple MA HTF Strategy - Dynamic Smoothing" strategy script. In summary the indicator consist of 3 higher time frame moving averages. In which the highest timeframe is used for confirmation on the trend (filter). Moving average 1 and 2 are used to enter and exit the trade (crossover / crossunder). The main principle is to detect momentum when the faster MA 1 crosses the slower MA 2 and only trade with the trend (MA3). The dynamic smoothing in the code makes the indicator suitable to trade on lower tramecharts. The indicator script comes with the following features:
options for different types of MA.
options to choose from different timeframes & select # bars of that timeframe to calculate the MA value.
visualizations of the MA using Dynamic Smoothing calculations on lower timecharts. Note that the chart opened should be lower than the selected timeframes in the configurations.
Alerts for entry long, shorts and exits.
For more details on the script and possibility for backtesting the Triple MA HTF indicator I refer to my earlier published strategy script:
It's All MidsIt's All Mids extends mid-lines of a candle forward until the price revisits (covers) the midpoint. A higher timeframe can be used for the mid candles than the chart (but not the reverse). There is no data to support this is a meaningful concept.
While this script is intended to be functional, correct and useful it is important that you understand that not only is this the first script I've written but also that "I am an idiot."(tm) Using a stranger's indicator is questionable, but using a self-proclaimed idiot's indicator to trade real money is unquestionably stupid. Don't be like me. Be smart. You are responsible for what you do with this script. The source is unlocked, so feel free to copy and modify it.
Terms:
- A "mid" is the (high+low)/2 price of a previous candle that has not been auctioned since the candle close. All candles will initially have a mid unless they close on exactly their midpoint.
- A "covered" mid is a mid for which the midpoint has been auctioned since the candle closed. There is an option to display a number of these so that when a mid is hit the line doesn't just disappear from the chart and you forget what you were doing.
- A "low priority" mid is the mid of a candle which was auctioned in the previous candle(s) (chart's timeframe, not the mid's timeframe)-- chopchopchop. I have no data to show that this matters, or really, that anything matters at all.
My use: I chart a 60m mid on ES on a 5 or 15 minute chart. I am lying. I use it for something else but if I tell you that then I give away my incredible alpha that has made me so rich I can spend my time crying in corner about all the money I've lost.
Triple MA HTF strategy - Dynamic SmoothingThe triple MA strategy is a simple but effective method to trade the trend. The advantage of this script over the existing triple MA strategies is that the user can open a lower time frame chart and select higher time frame inputs for different MA types mainting the visibility on the chart. The dynamic smoothing code makes sure the HTF trendlines are not jagged, but a fluid line visiable on the lower time frame chart. The script comes with a MA crossover and crossunder strategy explained below.
Moving Averages (MA) Crossover for Entry:
Long Entry: A long entry signal is triggered when the moving average line 1 crosses above the moving average line 2. This crossover indicates a potential shift in market sentiment towards the upside. However, to validate this signal, the strategy checks if the moving average 3 on a higher time frame (eg. 4 hour) is in an upward trend. This additional filter ensures that the trade aligns with the prevailing trend on a broader time scale, increasing the probability of success.
Short Entry: Conversely, a short entry signal occurs when the moving average line 1 crosses below the moving average line 2. This crossover suggests a possible downturn in market momentum. However, for a short trade to be confirmed, the strategy verifies that the moving average 3 on the higher time frame is in a downward trend. This confirmation ensures that the trade is in harmony with the overarching market direction.
Exit from Long Position: The strategy triggers an exit signal from a long position when the moving average line 1 crosses below the moving average line 2. This crossover indicates a potential reversal in the market trend, prompting the trader to close their long position and take profits or minimize losses.
Exit from Short Position: Similarly, an exit signal from a short position occurs when the moving average line 1 crosses above the moving average line 2. This crossover suggests a potential shift in market sentiment towards the upside, prompting the trader to exit their short position and manage their risk accordingly.
Features of the script
This Triple MA Strategy is basically the HTF Trend Filter displayed 3 times on the chart. For more infomation on how the MA with dynamic smoothing is calculated I recommend reading the following script:
For risk management I included a simple script to opt for % of eauity or # of contracts of in the instrument. For explanation on how the risk management settings work I refer to my ealier published script:
The strategy is a simplified example for setting up an entry and exit logic based on multiple moving avarages. Hence the script is meant for educational purposes only.

Relative Strength Scoring SystemRelative Strength Scoring System :
Important prerequisite :
This indicator can be loaded on any forex chart, i.e. a currency pair, but must not be loaded on any other asset due to certain market closures.
The chart timeframe must be less than or equal to the trading timeframe, which is the indicator's first parameter. A timeframe equal to that of the "Trading Timeframe" parameter is preferable.
Introduction :
This indicator measures the relative strength of a currency against all other currencies using spread formulas. It gives an indication of which currencies are bullish, neutral or bearish. The ultimate aim of this indicator is to find out which pair will generate a higher probability of gain than the others by pairing the most bullish pair with the most bearish pair.
Spread formulas :
To find the relative strength of a currency compared with others, we use the following spreads formulas :
USD = (FX:USDJPY/100+SAXO:USDEUR+FX:USDCHF+SAXO:USDGBP+FX:USDCAD+SAXO:USDAUD+FX_IDC:USDNZD)/7
JPY = (SAXO:JPYUSD/100+FX_IDC:JPYAUD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCAD/100+FX_IDC:JPYNZD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCHF/100+SAXO:JPYEUR/100+FX_IDC:JPYGBP/100)/7
CHF = (FX:CHFJPY/100+SAXO:CHFUSD+SAXO:CHFEUR+FX_IDC:CHFGBP+FX_IDC:CHFCAD+SAXO:CHFAUD+FX_IDC:CHFNZD)/7
EUR = (FX:EURJPY/100+FX:EURUSD+FX:EURCHF+FX:EURGBP+FX:EURCAD+FX:EURAUD+FX:EURNZD)/7
GBP = (FX:GBPJPY/100+FX:GBPUSD+FX:GBPCHF+SAXO:GBPEUR+FX:GBPCAD+FX:GBPAUD+FX:GBPNZD)/7
CAD = (FX:CADJPY/100+SAXO:CADUSD+FX:CADCHF+FX_IDC:CADGBP+SAXO:CADEUR+FX_IDC:CADAUD+FX_IDC:CADNZD)/7
AUD = (FX:AUDJPY/100+FX:AUDUSD+FX:AUDCHF+SAXO:AUDGBP+FX:AUDCAD+SAXO:AUDEUR+FX:AUDNZD)/7
NZD = (FX:NZDJPY/100+FX:NZDUSD+FX:NZDCHF+SAXO:NZDGBP+FX:NZDCAD+SAXO:NZDAUD+SAXO:NZDEUR)/7
CRYPTO = (BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:ETHUSD+BITSTAMP:LTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BCHUSD)/4
Timeframes :
As mentioned in the prerequisites, the chart timeframe must not be greater than the trading timeframe. The latter corresponds to the timeframe chosen by the trader to enter a position, and is the indicator's first parameter. Once this has been chosen, the algorithm selects the timeframes of the "Trend" and "Velocity" charts. Here's how it allocates them :
Trading TF => ("Velocity TF", "Trend TF")
"5min" => ("15min ", "60min")
"15min" => ("60min ", "4h")
"30min" => ("2h ", "8h")
"60min" => ("4h ", "12h")
"4h" => ("12h", "1D")
"6h" => ("1D", "3D")
"8h" => ("1D", "4D")
"12h" => ("2D", "1W")
"1D" => ("3D", "1W")
Trend Scoring System :
When the timeframe of the trend graph has been allocated, the algorithm will establish this graph's score using three criteria :
Trend chart pivot points: if the last two pivots, high and low, are increasing, the score is 1; if they are decreasing, the score is -1; else the score is 0.
SMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the SMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
MACD: if the MACD is positive, the score is 1, if it is negative, the score is -1; else it's 0.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the trend score.
Velocity Scoring System :
In the same way, we analyze the score of the "velocity" graph with its corresponding timeframe using three criteria :
The EMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the EMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
The RSI: if the RSI's EMA has an increasing slope with an RSI strictly greater than the value of this EMA, the score is 1; and if the RSI's EMA has a decreasing slope with an RSI strictly less than this EMA, the score is -1; otherwise it is 0.
SAR parabolic: if the SAR is below the price, the score is 1; if it is above the price, the score is -1.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the velocity score.
Relative Strength Scoring System :
Once the trend score and velocity score have been calculated, we determine the relative strength score of each currency using the following algorithm :
If trend score >=2 and velocity score >=2, the currency is bullish.
If trend score <=2 and velocity score <=2, currency is bearish
If (trendScore>=2 or velocityScore>=2) and (trendScore=1 or velocityScore=1) the currency is not yet bullish
If (trendScore<=2 or velocityScore<=2) and (trendScore=-1 or velocityScore=-1) the currency is not yet bearish.
Otherwise the currency is neutral
Parameters :
Trading Timeframe: the trading timeframe chosen by the trader for which he makes his position entry and exit decisions. Default is 1h
Pivot Legs: Parameter used for the chart "Trend" setting the pivot strength to the right and left of high/low. Default is 2
SMA Length: SMA length of the chart "Trend". Default is 20
MACD Fast Length: Length of the MACD fast SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 12
MACD Slow Length: Length of the MACD slow SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 26
MACD Signal Length: Length of the MACD signal SMA calculated on the chart "Trend". Default is 9
EMA Length: EMA length of the "Velocity" graph. Default is 13
RSI Length: RSI length of the "Velocity" graph. Default is 14
RSI EMA Length: Length of the RSI EMA. Default is 9
Parabolic SAR Start: Start of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.02
Parabolic SAR Increment: Increment of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.02
Parabolic SAR Max: Maximum of the SAR parabola in the "Velocity" graph. Default is 0.2
Conclusion :
This indicator has been designed to determine the relative strength of the major currencies against each other. The aim is to know which pair to trade at the right time in order to maximize the probability of a successful trade. For example, if the USD is bullish and the NZD bearish, we'll short the NZDUSD pair.
Enjoy this indicator and don't forget to take the trade ;)

Asset capital flows - multi-timeframeIndicator for use on the any timeframe to show net capital flows into an asset of your choosing, to allow the user to track potential buy and selling pressure.
Net volume is derived from lower timeframe data (5 minute chart by default for daily timeframe) and multiplied by the average price for the same LTF period (defined by the mean of the high, low + close values). This gives the net capital inflow or outflow for the asset per bar. The cumulative sum of all previous bars is also calculated each period/day and available to be plotted as a line chart.
This might be preferred to other similar indicators as it uses low time frame bars to calculate the up/down volumes and price, thus accuracy is improved.
It should be borne in mind that the values of capital flows displayed are specific to the asset and the volume/price feed origin (ie the listed exchange used), and thus correlated with the total underlying flows, but there are other external factors influencing the volume/price data feed beyond the buy/sell volume of the specified exchange (such as spot and futures trading on other locations/exchanges)
Candlestick Bias OscillatorCandlestick Bias Oscillator (CBO)
The Candlestick Bias Oscillator (CBO) with Signal Line is a pioneering indicator developed for the TradingView platform, designed to offer traders a nuanced analysis of market sentiment through the unique lens of candlestick patterns. This indicator stands out by merging traditional concepts of price action analysis with innovative mathematical computations, providing a fresh perspective on trend detection and potential market reversals.
Originality and Utility
At the core of the CBO's originality is its method of calculating the bias of candlesticks. Unlike conventional oscillators that may rely solely on closing prices or high-low ranges, the CBO incorporates both the body and wick of candlesticks into its analysis. This dual consideration allows for a more rounded understanding of market sentiment, capturing both the directional momentum and the strength of price rejections within a single oscillator.
Mathematical Foundations
1. Body Bias: The CBO calculates the body bias by assessing the relative position of the close to the open within the day's range, scaled to a -100 to 100 range. This calculation reflects the bullish or bearish sentiment of the market, based on the day's closing momentum.
Body Bias = (Close−Open)/(High−Low) x 100
Wick Bias: Similarly, the wick bias calculation takes into account the lengths of the upper and lower wicks, indicating rejection levels beyond the body's close. The balance between these wicks is scaled similarly to the body bias, offering insight into the market's indecision or rejection of certain price levels.
Wick Bias=(Lower Wick−Upper Wick)/(Total Wick Length) × 100
3. Overall Bias and Oscillator: By averaging the body and wick biases, the CBO yields an overall bias score, which is then smoothed over a user-defined period to create the oscillator. This oscillator provides a clear visual representation of the market's underlying sentiment, smoothed to filter out the noise.
4. Signal Line: A secondary smoothing of the oscillator creates the signal line, offering a trigger for potential trading signals when the oscillator crosses this line, indicative of a change in market momentum.
How to Use the CBO:
The CBO is versatile, suitable for various trading strategies, including scalping, swing trading, and long-term trend following. Traders can use the oscillator and signal line crossovers as indications for entry or exit points. The relative position of the oscillator to the zero line further provides insight into the prevailing market bias, enabling traders to align their strategies with the broader market sentiment.
Why It Adds Value:
The CBO's innovative approach to analyzing candlestick patterns fills a gap in the existing array of TradingView indicators. By providing a detailed analysis of both candle bodies and wicks, the CBO offers a more comprehensive view of market sentiment than traditional oscillators. This can be particularly useful for traders looking to gauge the strength of price movements and potential reversal points with greater precision.
Conclusion:
The Candle Bias Oscillator with Signal Line is not just another addition to the plethora of indicators on TradingView. It represents a significant advancement in the analysis of market sentiment, combining traditional concepts with a novel mathematical approach. By offering a deeper insight into the dynamics of candlestick patterns, the CBO equips traders with a powerful tool to navigate the complexities of the market with increased confidence.
Explore the unique insights provided by the CBO and integrate it into your trading strategy for a more informed and nuanced market analysis.
Multi-Time AVWAP_BEARConcept
Collaboration Highlight:
This was a collaboration with @Chart_School and @KioseffTrading Thank you to both, along with Ricardo Santos for his awesome library we used.
Overview
See how you view different time frame charts with one indicator and little to no adjustment.
Innovation:
The concept of using Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) with time events is a powerful technique in trading and technical analysis. Anchored VWAP differs from the traditional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) by allowing traders to select a specific starting point or "anchor," from which the VWAP calculation begins. This approach is particularly useful for assessing price movements in relation to significant market events or specific periods of interest.
Utility and Flexibility:
Explaining the flexibility in turning on and off different time slices without much adjustment showcases a user-friendly design.
Key Uses and Benefits
Comparative Performance:
Anchoring the VWAP at the start of different time frames (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly) enables traders to compare the current price performance against previous periods. This comparison can highlight trends or shifts in trading momentum relative to past activity.
Support and Resistance Levels:
AVWAP lines can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. When anchored to significant time events, these levels gain additional relevance as they reflect the market's valuation of an asset since a notable point in time. Traders often watch for price interactions with these levels to make informed trading decisions.
Risk Management:
Anchored VWAP can serve as a benchmark for setting stop-loss orders or profit targets. By considering the price's relation to the AVWAP of a specific period or after a key event, traders can define exit points that are aligned with market-generated information.
Trend Confirmation: The direction and stability of the price relative to an anchored VWAP can indicate the strength of a trend. If the price consistently remains above an AVWAP anchored at a bullish event (or below for a bearish event), it may confirm the trend's continuation.
Further Reading
Educational Resource:
Becuase we are using Volume with a relation to price AVWAP is very powerful to show data that cannot be eye balled on its own. Brian Shannon's book "Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP - The Perfect Combination of Price, Time & Volume", is an excellent guide to best practices on how to use AVWAP to your advatage while trading. His book goes into depth about the best way to use this indicator to its fullest potencial.
Tips for Using This Indicator
Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly Settings:
All the settings for the lower timeframe charts are similar. Here is an example of seeing a Weekly AVWAP for 6 weeks, showing:
1. The start of the 6-week AVWAP is using a High Low Close source for the first candle of the 6 weeks.
2. The lines are colored "Red" for the AVWAPs.
3. The line thickness is "1".
Yearly Settings
Simlair to the other settings with the Yearly we give you a couple more options along with 3 years to toggle on and off. The idea was to allow the user to see which AVWAP most effected by price and quickly toggle them on and off to unclutter their chart.
Watch for how and if the labels over lap and choose the one you feel is most in play. In Shannon's Book he talks about "Hand off's" and "Pinches". These concepts are easy to spot with being able to see all the Major Time Events, then simply toggle off the one you dont need.
A great benefit to how we coded this script you can buzz through a watch list without having to re-adjust the Anchor points. This will save you time if following a basket of symbols and show coorlations in the overall market.
Secret Feature
When looking at these becuase the user doesn't need to hand plot the anchor points and we are fouced on major time slices, I encourge you to use the Trading View "Bar Replay" Feature. You think that you are missing a high or low AVWAP but what is happening is the indicator is re-plotting a level that is super hard to see, then you will see the hand-offs like Shannon discusses in his book. This blew me away while we were discussing it post development.
Conclusion
There are so many uses of how to use VWAP and therories on its best practice. We are only using "TIME EVENTS". For more ways to use AVWAP, I would encourge you to also handplot them with Trading View's new "Anchored VWAP", as seen in the standard toolbar.
Using your ideas along with this indicator i think its a powerful combination.

To adjust timeframe the user must open the indicator configuration by clicking the gear icon for "Timeframe Pivots", depending on screen resolution scrolling with mouse may need to occur in order to find the input labeled "Timeframe", use the mouse or equivalent human interface device select the drop down and select timeframe suitable to users application.
How the extension width and extensions are calculated:
The exact process takes the new timeframe change open price calculates the difference between prior open, once that has been completed then it's divided in half to build extensions.
Code example:
Extension Width = (Open - Open ) / 2
How the extensions are calculated:
// +1 for positive extension, -1 for negative extension
(Extension Width * (Configured Multiplier * 1)) + Pivot Open Price
+1 Extension:
$5 * (1.0 * 1) + $400 = $405
-1 Extension:
$5 * (1.0 * -1) + $400 = $395
So it should be established how each projected extension, either positive or negative, is created.
Range bound market detection and notes:
One note regarding the ranges, sometimes the open prices of each period can be close in proximity to their predecessor, there's not enough range to build meaningful projections. In these situations this means the market is most likely range bound and prior range data is utilized to continue providing guidance. This addresses an issue with other pivot indicators that will instead blindly follow price and present useless pivot ranges.
It does this through detection of average half range widths, the last 14 ranges to be exact, if the current, (open - open / 2), half range width is smaller than the average, prior half range width will be used.
Code example:
// assume past half range widths are 10, 8, 9, 5, 14, 7, 7, 9, 10, 10, 4, 7, 7, 8
float v_halfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions = na
v_priorHalfRangeWidth = 10
v_avgHalfRangeWidth = 8.2 // past range widths sum = 115 / 14
v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions = 2 // new open - open is tiny compared to avg
if v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions < v_avgHalfRangeWidth
// replace new half range width with previous one
v_newHalfRangeWidthToUseForExtensions := v_priorHalfRangeWidth
In the code example above if the new half range width was above or equal to the rolling average, no adjustment would be made by the indicator.
VWAP
Additional feature of showing vwap, anchored to the same timeframe as the pivot, provides a trend and volume analysis within the confines of the pivots range.
The user must open the indicator configuration by clicking the gear icon for "Timeframe Pivots", scroll using mouse to the "VWAP" section and click the checkbox next to the "Source" field, past the color plots. They are not enabled by default!
The user can also add the bands for VWAP by clicking the checkbox next to the "Bands" field, past the color plots. They are not enabled by default!
VWAP calculations begin from open price of new timeframe change, then afterwards the "Source" set is utilized, the default is HLC3 which is standard for VWAP indicators.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis (MTFA)
It's simple to create a unique combination of favored timeframes for multiple timeframe analysis, consider daily, weekly and monthly combined analysis for powerful indications of market sentiment and directional bias.
Example MTFA demonstration:
Why was this created?
I created this while investigating the efficacy of open price ranges, it became apparent that these pivot ranges are some of the more price respecting pivots I've ever observed. I also grew tired of lack of price adherence to other pivot indicators widely available.
There exists a relationship between each timeframes open price in comparison to prior open price, if the market is willing to navigate to a prior lower open price from higher open price, it could be perceived as bearish and the extensions (if enabled as instructed above), could be suitable range based projections for future price movements.
Example comparison:
As can be seen, and there are many examples, where Timeframe Pivots provides more discreet levels and potential explanations for price movements.
Advanced VolumeThe "Advanced Volume" indicator is a versatile tool designed for traders who need a detailed analysis of market volume dynamics. It provides three unique modes of volume analysis: Simple, Complex, and Analytics, each offering distinct insights for various trading styles.
Key Features:
Modes of Operation:
Simple Mode: Displays traditional volume data for a quick overview of market activity.
Complex Mode: Reveals the differential volume between buyers and sellers in a lower time frame. This mode features two average lines - one showing the current average volume level and another depicting the past average, based on the chosen length. These lines provide a comparative view of current and historical market dynamics.
Analytics Mode: Combines buyers' and sellers' volume in a lower time frame with their average. The average line in this mode changes color based on the dominant volume: it turns blue (default color for positive volume) if the average buy volume is higher, and switches to the sell volume color if the average sell volume is predominant.
Customizable Settings:
Average Length: Allows you to adjust the length for moving average calculations.
Definition: Select from 'Maximum', 'High', or 'Medium' for time frame granularity.
Visual Preferences: Customize the width and colors of the volume bars and average lines to suit your visual preference.
Dynamic Calculations and Plots:
Differentiates between up-volume and down-volume for nuanced market sentiment analysis.
Includes various plots such as volume bars, moving averages, and dynamic lines for comprehensive analysis.
Usage Tips:
Utilize 'Simple Mode' for a quick market overview.
Engage 'Complex Mode' to assess buying vs. selling pressures and compare current volume trends against historical averages.
Apply 'Analytics Mode' for an in-depth analysis of volume trends, with color-coded average lines indicating dominant market forces.
Order Blocks Finder [TradingFinder] Major OB | Supply and Demand🔵 Introduction
Drawing all order blocks on the path, especially in range-bound or channeling markets, fills the chart with lines, making it confusing rather than providing the trader with the best entry and exit points.
🔵 Reason for Indicator Creation
For traders familiar with market structure and only need to know the main accumulation points (best entry or exit points), and primary order blocks that act as strong sources of power.
🟣 Important Note
All order blocks, both ascending and descending, are identified and displayed on the chart when the structure of "BOS" or "CHOCH" is broken, which can also be identified with "MSS."
🔵 How to Use
When the indicator is installed, it plots all order blocks (active order blocks) and continues until the price reaches them. This continuation happens in boxes to have a better view in the TradingView chart.
Green Range : Ascending order blocks where we expect a price increase in these areas.
Red Range : Descending order blocks where we expect a price decrease in these areas.
🔵 Settings
Order block refine setting : When Order block refine is off, the supply and demand zones are the entire length of the order block (Low to High) in their standard state and cannot be improved. If you turn on Order block refine, supply and demand zones will improve using the error correction algorithm.
Refine type setting : Improving order blocks using the error correction algorithm can be done in two ways: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive method, the largest possible range is considered for order blocks.
🟣 Important
The main advantage of the Aggressive method is minimizing the loss of stops, but due to the widening of the supply or demand zone, the reward-to-risk ratio decreases significantly. The Aggressive method is suitable for individuals who take high-risk trades.
In the Defensive method, the range of order blocks is minimized to their standard state. In this case, fewer stops are triggered, and the reward-to-risk ratio is maximized in its optimal state. It is recommended for individuals who trade with low risk.
Show high level setting : If you want to display major high levels, set show high level to Yes.
Show low level setting : If you want to display major low levels, set show low level to Yes.
🔵 How to Use
The general view of this indicator is as follows.
When the price approaches the range, wait for the price reaction to confirm it, such as a pin bar or divergence.
If the price passes with a strong candle (spike), especially after a long-range or at the beginning of sessions, a powerful event is happening, and it is outside the credibility level.
An Example of a Valid Zone
An Example of Breakout and Invalid Zone. (My suggestion is not to use pending orders, especially when the market is highly volatile or before and after news.)
After reaching this zone, expect the price to move by at least the minimum candle that confirmed it or a price ceiling or floor.
🟣 Important : These factors can be more accurately measured with other trend finder indicators provided.
🔵 Auxiliary Tools
There is much talk about not using trend lines, candlesticks, Fibonacci, etc., in the web space. However, our suggestion is to create and use tools that can help you profit from this market.
• Fibonacci Retracement
• Trading Sessions
• Candlesticks
🔵 Advantages
• Plotting main OBs without additional lines;
• Suitable for timeframes M1, M5, M15, H1, and H4;
• Effective in Tokyo, Sydney, and London sessions;
• Plotting the main ceiling and floor to help identify the trend.
MTF MA ChaserThis is my own Moving Averages analysis tool, if anyone else will find it useful.
How It Works:
Upon adding the indicator to the chart, it calculates the selected Moving Averages for the defined timeframes. The main chart will display these MAs according to the user's chosen timeframe and type (default is the chart timeframe). Simultaneously, a table is generated on the chart, showcasing the percentage difference of the current price from these MAs across various timeframes. This table is color-coded to indicate different market states, such as proximity to MA/price crossovers.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Users can view Moving Average data from different timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W) on their current chart. This allows for quick and efficient analysis without the need to switch between different timeframe charts.
Variety of Moving Averages: The indicator supports different types of MAs, including EMA (Exponential Moving Average), SMA (Simple Moving Average), and others, providing flexibility in analysis.
Realtime Data Option: Users can choose to display real-time data for MAs, enabling them to make timely trading decisions based on the most current market information.
Customizable Display: The indicator features a customizable table that displays the MA values and their differences from the current price in percentages. Users can show or hide this table and adjust its position and text size according to their preference.
Limited Timeframe Support: The indicator is designed to work on equal or higher timeframes relative to the current chart's timeframe. It specifically supports 5-minute (5m), 15-minute (15m), 1-hour (1H), 4-hour (4H), 1-day (1D), and 1-week (1W) timeframes. This means if your current chart is set to a 1-hour timeframe, the indicator will only show MA data for 1-hour and longer timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W), but not for shorter ones like 5m or 15m.
Yet, you can go down to a 1 - 4 minute chart for scalping purposes if necessary.
Time Range zoneThis TradingView script displays two time zones on the chart. The first zone starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 1:00 PM, while the second zone starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 10:00 PM. If the current time is within either of these two zones, a green or red background is drawn on the chart, respectively. This script is set by default for my personal XRP strategy.
[CS] HTF Candle Start MarkerHello Traders!
I was using this script personally and thought it may be helpful to others that trade much lower timeframes. This script is particularly useful for traders who monitor price movements across multiple timeframes or need to synchronize their strategies with the start of new candle open.
Features:
User-Selectable Timeframe : Users can select the desired timeframe for the candle start marker, ranging from 1 to 60 minutes.
Start-of-Period Visualization : The indicator works by highlighting the background color at the start of each new candle for the chosen timeframe. This visual cue is particularly helpful for identifying the commencement of new trading intervals on lower timeframe charts.
Intelligent Timeframe Adaptation : A unique feature of this indicator is its ability to disable the marking on charts where the selected timeframe is equal to or higher than the chart's current timeframe. This ensures that the marker is only active when it provides meaningful information, avoiding redundancy on higher timeframe charts.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for low time frame traders and those employing multi-timeframe analysis. It helps in quickly identifying the start of new time intervals. For example I trade the 15 second timeframe and mark the start of every 5 minute candle.
Volume Footprint Voids [BigBeluga]Volume Footprint Voids is a unique tool that uses lower timeframe calculation to plot different styles of single candle POC.
This indicator is very powerful for scalping and finding very precise entry and exits, spotting potential trapped traders, and more.
Unlike many other volume profiles, this aims to plot single candle profiles as well as their own footprints.
🔶 FEATURES
The script includes the following settings:
Windows: Plotting style and calculations
Coloring modes
Display modes
lower-timeframe calculations
🔶 CALCULATION
In the image above we can see how the script calculates each level position that will serve as a calculation process to see how much volume/closes there are within the levels.
In the image above, we can have a more clear example of how we count each candle close.
We use the prior screenshot as an example, after setting each level we will use the lower-timeframe input to measure the amount of closes within the ranges.
Depending on the lot size, the box will be larger or smaller, usually the POC will always have the highest box size.
NOTE: Size is the starting point, always from the low of the candle.
To find more voids, select a closer LTF to the current one you're using.
To find fewer voids, select a timeframe away from your current one.
Due to Pine Script limitations, we are only able to plot a certain amount of footprints, and we can't plot the whole history chart.
POC will be the largest block displayed, indicating the time point of control
Gray areas are closes above the average
Black are Void or imbalance that price will fill in the future, like FVG
The image above shows an incorrect size input that will lead to bad calculations, while on the other side, a correct size input that will lead to a clear vision and better calculation.
🔶 WINDOWS
The "▲▼" Mode will display delta buyers and delta sellers coloring with voids as black.
It also offers a gradient mode for a beautier visualization
The "Total Volume" mode will display the net volume within the lot size (closes within the levels).
This is useful to spot possible highest net volume within the same highest lot size.
The "POC + Gaps" will show both POC and Gaps as the highest block while all the rest will be considered as the smaller block.
This is useful to see where the highest lot were and if there are higher or lower imbalances within the candle
The last option "Gaps" will simply display the gaps as the highest block, while the POC as the lowest block.
This is useful to have a better view of the gaps areas
🔶 EXAMPLE
This is one of the most basic examples of how this script can be used. POC at the bottom creating a strong support area as price holds and creates higher voids gap that price fills while rising.
🔶 SETTINGS
Users have full control over the script, from colors to choosing the lower-timeframe inputs to disabling the lot size.
