Red and Green Ignored Bar by Oliver VelezOn this occasion I present a script that detects Ignored Red Candles and Ignored Green Candles, basically it is a Price Action event that indicates a possible continuation of the current trend and gives the opportunity to climb it with a Very tight risk, before delving into detail I would like to leave this note:
Note: the detection of this event does not guarantee that the signal will be good, the trader must have the ability to determine its quality based on aspects such as trend, maturity, support / resistance levels, expansion / contraction of the market, risk / benefit, etc, if you do not have knowledge about this you should not use this indicator since using it without a robust trading plan and experience could cause you to partially or totally lose your money, if this is your case you should train before If you try to extract money from the market, this script was created to be another tool in your trading plan in order to configure the rules at your discretion, execute them consistently and have AUTOMATIC ALERTS when the event occurs, which is where I find more value because you can have many instruments waiting for the event to be generated, in the time frame you want and without having to observe the mer When the alert is generated, the Trader should evaluate the quality of the alert and define whether or not to execute it (higher timeframes, they can give you more time to execute the operation correctly).
Let's continue….
This event was created by Oliver Velez recognized trader / mentor of price action, the event has a very interesting particularity since it allows to take a position with a very limited risk in trend movements, this achieves favorable operations of good ratio and small losses when taking An adjusted risk, if the trade works, a good ratio is quickly achieved and we agree with a key point in the “Keep small losses and big profits” trading, this makes it easier to have a positive mathematical hope when your level of Success is not very high, so leave you in the field of profitability.
THE EVENT:
The event has a bullish configuration (Ignored Red Candle) and a bearish configuration (Ignored Green Candle), below I detail the “Hard” rules (later I explain why “Hard”):
1- Last 3 bars have to be GREEN-RED-GREEN (possible bullish configuration) or RED-GREEN-RED (possible bearish configuration), the first bar is called Control Bar, the second is called Ignored Bar and the third Signal Bar as shown in the following image:
2- Be in a trend determined by simple moving averages (Slow of 20 periods and Fast of 8 periods), as a general rule you can take the direction of MA20 but the Trader has to determine if there is a trend movement or not.
3- Control bar of good range, little tail and with a body greater than 55%.
4- Ignored bar preferably narrow range, little tail and that is located in the upper 1/3 of the control bar.
5- Signal bar cannot override the minimum of the ignored bar.
6- Activation / Confirmation of event by means of signal bar in overcoming the body of the ignored bar.
Some examples of ignored bars (with “Hard” and “Flexible” rules):

The following image shows the ignored bar and painted signal:
- Take profit / loss
The profit / loss taking varies depending on the trader and its risk / monetary plan, the proposal is a recommendation based on the nature of the event that is to have a small risk unit (stop below the minimum of the ignored bar), look for objectives in ratios greater than 2: 1 and eliminate the risk in 1: 1 by taking the stop to BE, all parameters are configurable and are the following:
• See recommended stop loss and take profit: trace the levels of Stop, BE, TP1 and TP2, as well as their prices to know them quickly based on the assumed risk
• To: select which event you want to draw the SL and TP (VRI, VVI)
• Extend stop loss line x bars: allows extending the stop line by x number of bars
• Extend take profit line x bars: allows extending the stop line by x number of bars
• Ratio to move to break even: allows you to select the minimum ratio to move stop to break even (default 1: 1)
• Take profit 1 ratio: allows you to select the ratio for take profit 1 (default 2: 1)
• Take profit 2 ratio: allows you to select the ratio for take profit 2 (default 4: 1)
- Alerts
• It is possible to configure the following alerts:
-VRI DETECTED
-VVI DETECTED
-VRI / VVI DETECTED
Final Notes:
- The term hard rules refers to the fact that an event is sought with the rules detailed above to obtain a high quality event but this brings 2 situations to consider, less
number of events and events that are generated in a strong impulse may be leaked, a very large control bar followed by an ignored narrow body away from moving averages, despite having a good chance of continuing, taking a stop very tight in a strong impulse you can touch it by the simple fact of the own volatility at that time.
- The setting of the parameters “Minimum body percentage% (control bar)”, “Above x% of the control bar (bar ignored)” and “Cannot override the minimum of the ignored bar” can bring large Benefits in terms of number of events and that can also be of high quality, feel free to find the best configuration for your instrument to operate.
- It is recommended to look for trending events, near moving averages and at an early stage of it.
- The display of several nearby VRIs or VVIs in an advanced trend may indicate a depletion of it.
- The alerts can be worked in 2 ways: at the closing of the candle (confirms event but the risk unit may be larger or smaller) or immediately the body of the ignored bar is exceeded, in case you are operating from the mobile and miss many events because of the short time I recommend that you operate in a superior time frame to have more time.
- The indicator is configured with “flexible” rules to have more events, but without any important criteria, each trader has to look for the best configuration that suits his instrument.
- It is recommended to partially close the operation based on the ratio and always keep a part of the position to apply manual trailing stop and try to maximize profits.
The code is open feel free to use and modify it, a mention in credits is appreciated.

Elephant Bar by Oliver VelezThis script detects an event created by Oliver Velez, basically it is a wide-range candle, its range is noticeably larger than the previous candles, this event indicates a possible continuation of the movement, or the beginning of an extended movement. The candle has to be of good body, as a rule it can be taken that the body must be more than 70%. The stop goes below the minimum of the candle and the signal is given when the next candle followed by the elephant candle exceeds its body, this condition is not programmed so that the alert indicates that an elephant candle was generated and the trader has some time to visualize the graph and wait for the signal. Example below:
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE TRADER ANALYZE THE CONTEXT OF THE MARKET WHERE THE ELEPHANT BAR IS GENERATED AND DETERMINE ACCORDING TO ITS EXPERIENCE IF THE EVENT HAS A GOOD PROBABILITY OF PROJECTION, YOU MUST NOT TAKE AN ENTRY ONLY BY THIS EVENT, IF YOU DO YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY
.
One of the problems of the elephant bar is that it generates a fairly wide risk unit with respect to other narrow range events, so the risk / benefit ratio is not very large, but it is an event that deserves attention when it occurs in a good location since it generally generates continuation.
If you want to have a lower risk unit and improve the risk / benefit ratio, you can play the “Gift Zone”, when detecting an elephant bar you can wait for a step back inside the elephant bar area and take a position, this will give you a less distance to the stop, but this can lead to the event escaping if there is no recoil.
- The size of the candle is determined by comparing a range of previous candles (you can set the amount at your discretion)
- Search factor: by default 1.3, this means that all bars that have a range greater than the average range of previous candles + 30%, are considered elephant candles (can be configured at your discretion)
- Possibility to configure the percentage of the body that the elephant candle must have.
- Possibility of filtering up to 2 means with direction detection and color change (fully configurable)
- Possibility of filtering by mobile averages
- Alerts
- Additional features

The Fantastic Four of Oliver VelezThis script graphics the "fantastic 4" area, was created by oliver velez and is used in the opening of the american stock market, determined by:
1- ma200 at the closure of the previous day
2- ma20 at the closure of the previous day
3- price of previous day closure
4- activity of the last 30/60 min prior to the closure of the previous day (search the maximum and minimum)
Basically it is a very important support / resistance area the first hour from the opening, the trap area is an area in which it should be avoided to operate if the price opens within the same. In advance of being used as a support / resistance area if the price opens above the 4f is looking for longer opportunities (many more aspects should be evaluated) and if it is below.
Configuration:
- possibility to modify the amount of minutes of the activity of the previous day.
- possibility of hidding the "trap area" label.
- possibility of hidding the "change to temporary frame of 2 min" label.
Note: the temporary framework used is the 2 min, in the event of being in another temporary framework the indicator will not work and will be alerted with a label
Kay-Rules: Candlestick PatternsThis indicator will mark 5 different candlestick patterns:
(1) bullish & bearish engulfing
(2) hammer & shooting star doji
(3) dragonfly & gravestone doji
(4) morning & evening star doji
(5) bottom & top tweezer

Keltner ZonesThis is an indicator that draws support and resistance zones / levels based on price action in and around Keltner Channels.
There are 3 different modes;
Draw zones based on price breaking the upper band
Draw zones based on price breaking the lower band
Draw zones if price stays within the bands for a prolonged period of time.
You can also decide if you want the indicator to paint zones or levels. The Zones can grow rather large if there is a volatility shock since they are drawn using the true range around the trigger price.
Upper Band Zones
Lower Band Zones
Congestion Zone
Wick Delta Buy/Sell PressureIf you think of a perfect doji candle, where the wicks on top and bottom are exactly the same, that's a candle with a delta of 0. What this indicator does is show the delta/difference between wicks, if the top wick is longer than the bottom wick it show's sell pressure/bear interest, which is displayed as a red bar and vice versa for buy/bull pressure, which is shown as green bars. I added arrows for clarity.
It's a different way of visualising wicks, which can clarify sentiment and be a useful way to understand wicks better in general. One way to use it is to look for clusters of 3/4 larger bars in a row, which generally helps to determine future direction especially when seen at important levels.
RSI LabelAdds a purple label to the right of price if RSI is overbought or oversold, otherwise it doesn't show anything at all, nada. Handy for people (like me) who often focus on price action and forget to watch the RSI
IO_Volatility Quality Zero LineThis is the Volatility Quality Zero Line Indicator. This indicator measures volatility strength.

Grimes Modified MACD Supply DemandA follower of mine asked me if I could make a version of my www.tradingview.com script using the MACD. Well it just so happens I was making a few modifications to my MACD script: just as this question came up so I went ahead and threw this together.
The MACD that triggers the SR zones is pictured below, with key trigger points encircled to illustrate how it works.
The Center..some measure of “center” or average price is useful.
- Adam H. Grimes
This line off Adams blog inspired me to cook up a very simple indicator that just takes the High and Low of the time given (input in minutes), adds them together and divides it in half. This way we get a center based on the higher timeframe. Not only does it inform you of the dominating trend, but also works as a sort of momentum indicator if you measure the distance price is from the center.
Got the daily high/low calculations off www.tradingview.com
Swing PointsThis indicator gives a clear indication of price action swing-points as well as an indication of whether it is a higher, lower, or equal swing point relative to the last high/low.
Price Action with MACD Barcolor + Insidebar + Fakey + Key level EMA 89 and Hull MA 89 used to filter trading signals and working as support and resistance.
When both of them are red, market is bearisk, only short.
When both of them are green, market is bullish, only long.
when there is 1 green and 1 red, market is neutral, can short or long.
Enjoy and happy trading!

4Hours optimized CARHey!
I have been working on this script the lasts days, it's a collaboration with an uruguayan mate.
#####IMPORTANT#####
* It has been optimized for 4h charts, use it on other at your own risk.
* Always use Stop Loss, since it might give false signals after a long trend.
* I'm still working on it, I'm going to add candlestick pattern filtering.
Thanks for your support, greetings.
ZEC/ETH/XMR/DASH PORTFOLIO KRAKENPortfolio chart with total value.
I will try to optimize it, maybe add % option if I findout how ;p
Or maybe a normalization would be good, idk.
Cheers!
Range Filter [DW]This is an experimental study designed to filter out minor price action for a clearer view of trends.
Inspired by the QQE's volatility filter, this filter applies the process directly to price rather than to a smoothed RSI.
First, a smooth average price range is calculated for the basis of the filter and multiplied by a specified amount.
Next, the filter is calculated by gating price movements that do not exceed the specified range.
Lastly the target ranges are plotted to display the prices that will trigger filter movement.
Custom bar colors are included. The color scheme is based on the filtered price trend.
Percentile Trend Channel [DW]This is an experimental study designed to identify the trend of price action over a specified period using percentiles.
First, the 50th percentile is calculated over the sampling period using the nearest rank method. I've found that this calculation is useful as a proxy for moving averages and other filters of that class.
Next, the channel levels are calculated. In this study, there are three channel methods to choose from:
-Percentile Donchian, which calculates Donchian Channels using the 100th and 0th percentile ranks
-Percentile Keltner, which calculates the 50th percentile true range multiplied by a specified amount, then adds it to and subtracts it from the 50th percentile
-Percentile Bollinger, which calculates 50th percentile standard deviation multiplied by a specified amount, then adds it to and subtracts it from the 50th percentile
I also included a squeeze box option within this script, which is derived from my original Squeeze Box tool.
This option detects squeezes in the specified channel's range by a specific percentage, and plots the channel values where the squeeze begins.
The box also has a range multiplier, which can be used to expand or contract its range.
Custom bar colors are included. The color scheme is based on the perceived trend over the specified sampling period.
