Pullback
VIX - SKEW DivergenceThe CBOE VIX is a well-known index representing market expectations for volatility over the next 30 days.
The CBOE SKEW is an index reflecting the perceived tail risk over the next 30 days.
When the SKEW rises over a certain level (~140/150), that means investors are hedging their exposure with options, because they are worried about an incoming market crash or a "black swan". If that happens when the VIX is very low and apparently there is no uncertainty, this can warn of a sudden change in direction of the market. You will see for yourself that an increasing divergence often anticipates a sharp fall of leading stock indexes, usually within two to four months.
This is probably not very relevant for the short-term trader but mid/long-term traders and market analysts may find it useful to clearly visualize the extent of the distance between the VIX and the SKEW. For that reason, I wrote this highly customizable script with which you can plot the two indexes and fill the space within them with a color gradient to highlight the maximum and minimum divergence. Additionally, you can fill the beneath VIX area with four different colors. It is also possible to plot the divergence value itself, so if you want you can draw trendlines and support/resistance levels on it.
Please note that the divergence per se doesn't predict anything and it's meant to be used synergistically with other technical analysis tools.

LNL Pullback ArrowsBuying the dip has never been easier! LNL Pullback Arrows are here to pinpoint the best possible entries for the trend following setups. With the Pullback Arrows, trader can pick his own approach and risk level thanks to four different types of arrows. The goal of these arrows is to force the traders to scale in & out of trades which is in my opinion crucial when it comes to trend following strategies. These arrows were designed primarily for the daily & weekly time frame (swing trading).
Four Types of Pullback Arrows:
1. Aggro Arrows - Ideal for aggresive approach during parabolic trends. Sometimes trends are so strong that the price barely revisits the daily 8 EMA. This is where the aggro arrows can perfectly pinpoint the aggresive high risk entries. Ideal for halfsize or 1/4 size of the full position. Aiming for quick 1-2 day moves targeting the recent high/low. These arrows could be also named as scalping arrows for the swing traders. A quick In & Out.
2. HalfSize Arrows - Medium risk approach. First arrows to scale in. HalfSize arrows are the first sign that the pullback might be ending, yet there is still some space left for an even deeper pullback. That is the reason why they are called half-size. Ideally taken with half-sized position. When trading the HalfSize Arrows, It is better to have some "spare ammo in the gun" ready to use.
3. FullSize Arrows - Regular risk approach. These arrows represent a zone where the core of the posititon should be taken. The point of validity for the trend is not that far away, meaning the risk can be kept tight. Ideal for scailing the other halfs or quarters of the full position. Also great for more conservative traders or environments with higher volatility.
4. Rare Arrows - Offer the best risk to reward entries during the trend. Rare Arrows should be the "last kick" of the retracement, therefore stops can be positioned really tight. They either trigger the stop immidiately or they provide another juicy leg up or down in the direction of the trend. However, they really do appear rarely.
Simple EMA Cloud:
A simple cloud based on 21 and 55 exponential moving averages. This default length creates a pullback zone that is wide enough for the conservative traders but also give the opportunities to more aggresive traders. Alternatives such as 8 & 21, or 21 & 34 are forming the zone that is too aggresive and usually too thin. Of course, cloud can be fully adjusted or turned off completely. The only role of the cloud is to gauge the trend.
Tips & Tricks:
1.Importance of the Scailing
- As already stated, scailing is crucial to this since there is no way of knowing the exact level at which the price magically bounce every time. It is hard to tell where and which EMA will be respected. How can we know it will be 21 EMA every time? or 34 EMA or 10 EMA or 100 SMA or 50 DMA ... Single MA does not make a trend. This is the reason why scailing is so important. Scailing can make a difference.
2. Nothing is Perfect
- Same as any other study, nothing works 100% perfectly. Sometimes the setup will go right against you and sometimes the price will fade away sideways and breaks off the structure of the trend. This is not a magic certainty tool. This is just another probability tool.
3. Point of Validity & Other Studies
- Even though the pullback arrows can be a stand-alone strategy. It is important to use other indicators that visualize the actual trend. Whether its EMA Cloud or EMAs or DMI Bars or Keltner Channels, there should be something that validates the trend, something that tells the trend is over. (Pullback Arrows are not showing the actual stops!).
Hope it helps.
CANDLE FILTER Todays scripts is based on my Pullback And Rally Candles with other meaningful candles such as Hammers and Dojis.
You can choose which Candles to show on the cart and if you want to candles to appear above or below a moving average.
If you follow my work, you may recognise some of these candles which I'm about to show you however these candles are 1) more refined and 2) has moving average filters.
Ive included a D,6H,1H Candle in this script as on different timeframes - each swing low on average has a different amount of bars within the swing low / swing high so the DPB and RD will only work on the Daily
//Pullback candle
This candle is very powerful when used with simple Price Action such as Market Structure//Demand zones and support zones. (((((WORKS BEST IN UPTRENDS AND BOTTOM OF RANGES)))))
Ive included a D,6H,1H Pullback Candle in this script as on different timeframes - each swing low on average has a different amount of bars within the swing low so the DPB will only work on the Daily
//DAILY PULLBACK (Swing Traders)
snapshot
//4H PULLBACK (Swing Traders)
snapshot
- this signal will produce more signals due to the swing low filter on the 4H
//1H PULLBACK
snapshot
- this signal has been refined due to too many candle displaying in weak areas
!!!IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE PULLBACKS DURING DOWNTRENDS THEN USE THE EMA FILTER TO TURN OFF THE PULLBACKS WHEN PRICE IS BELOW THE MOVING AVERAGE!!!
//Rally candle (My personal Favourite) (((((WORKS BEST IN DOWNTRENDS AND TOP OF RANGES)))))
This candle is very powerful when used with simple Price Action such as Market Structure//Supply zones and Resistance zones.

//POWERFUL DOJIS (INDECISION)
snapshot
We look for indecision in key areas to see if momentum is shifting. When combined with Pullbacks or Rallys - this will enhance the odds of a probably area.
//HAMMERS

Short EMA = 50
Long EMA = 200
This filter can be used when the market is trending - look out for rejections off the moving averages
Also you can chance the Short And Long EMA to choose which MA cross you want to use

Hulk Strategy x35 Leverage 5m chart w/Alerts This strategy is a pullback strategy that utilizes 2 EMAs as a way of identifying trend, MACD as an entry signal, and RSI and ADX to filter bad trades. By using the confirmation of all of these indicators the strategy attempts to catch pullbacks, and it is optimized to wait for high probability setups. Take not that the strategy is optimized for use on BTCUSDT along with 35 times leverage(Using leverage is risky). The Hulk Strategy waits for strong trend confirmation and then attempts to identify pullbacks using MACD and RSI. By using these it identifies strong short term movement against the trend(hence the name Hulk). To use the strategy wait for the strategy to make an entry, and then enter with a stop loss of 1.1% and a take profit of 1.35% with respect to if it is a long or short position. The trade frequency of this strategy is high as it is made for use on the 5m timeframe. But this does not mean you will have to be staring at your computer constantly as an average of 1 trade takes place each day. This will vary a lot though, somedays the strategy enters up to 4 times. I wish you good trading and hope that you like this strategy!
P.S. The indicators on my chart are visualizations of the indicators used in the strategy, they are not necessary for the strategy to work though. Also the colored in cloud on the price chart is an EMA cloud and it comes with the strategy when you add it to your chart. This EMA cloud consists of two EMAs a 50 and a 200 EMA.
IsPullbackPivotRetested experimentThe indicator counts how often a pullback that starts outside the Keltner Channel resolves or fails.
Resolves: the pullback high or low is retested.
Fails: price goes outside the oppositie side of the Keltner Channel.

Price Target Pullback Correction or BearPrice Target percent drop is an indicator that allows you to set default percentage down from the 52 week high.
A pullback, correction, bear and a bear market is marked as a 5%, 10%, 20% or 40% drop from the 52 week highest price, so this will show the target price to buy at if these thresholds are hit.
You can change the default values of 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% to any percentage and the price will reflect the change of the default value. Furthermore, the default to use 52 weeks can be changed to find the highest price from the last 26 weeks or 104 weeks.
EMA deviation & Range with barcolor changeThis indicator includes an EMA, a range and outer lines similar to the Bollinger Bands, but with a different calculation (which also becomes apparent once you compare the two). This indicator fits very well with the EMA pullback strategy.
The color of the candles changes depending on where it is located.
Above the EMA - green
Below it - red
Inside the range - black
All colors as well as lines are customizable under the Style tab.
The "Deviation" can be set to 0, here there are only slight deviations.
The EMA range can be adjusted in 0.1 steps to achieve the highest possible accuracy of the pullbacks.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
8 Day Extended Runs Inspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.
Strategy suited to the US T-note (ZN1!) with a t-test of 4.06.
The 5 day SMA is vital to Linda’s trend identification system. She’s done extensive testing and research using this indicator and has built models based on it. Linda used the 5 day SMA to determine that large outlier price moves happen in the direction of the trend in each market about 9-10 times per year. The powerful part about that number is that when the trend does persist, it can go on a long run, making this a trade with a high expected value.
Note: the current exit criteria is sell 10 days after entry, users should experiment with different stop placements.
Retracer Barcolor With LuckyNickVaFibonacci Input Preset Retracer. This for highlighting your favorite Fibonacci retracement levels. Before using this indicator you should already have knowledge of what Fibonacci is & how to use it. These are levels where it said to be that the market may or may not reverse at. This is more used for anticipation, confluence & should be used in combination with other tools to confirm price action & your own analysis of your expectations. But quickly explained Fibonacci levels are Price Reversal levels that are self fulfilled due to mass trading at these price reversal levels. So the correct way to find opportunity with this script is to use these levels to analyze price action for Pullbacks in the market.
Stochastic & RSIThis script is a simple extension of the Built-In Stochastic RSI that also plots the RSI and prints the values of ATR and ADX of the last bar of the current timeframe to a small table in the corner.
The script can be used to define the entry for a trade when the stochastics crossed and RSI is below or above 0.50 (for going long or short).
OANDA:BTCUSD
I like to use the Stochastics and RSI indicators for pullback strategies, and with this inidcator you dont have to add both indicators to your setup. The ATR can be used to define the value of your stop-loss and the ADX (e.g. > 25) give you a hint for the strength of the current trend.
LSMA CrossoverThis is a simple script designed to help filter out bad trades. LSMA is a trend king and by using the 21,200 and 1000 length lines traders can get a clear view of where price action is travelling. This indicator is the perfect companion to the LSMA Wave Rider indicator. Once a pullback is discovered (price action crosses under blue or white line) Traders can use LSMA Wave Rider to locate perfect entry point.
Least Squares Moving Average follows these rules:
When price crosses over it signals a bull trend.
When price crosses under it signals bear trend.
When price stays close or on the line sideways action is to be expected.
The direction of the line shows the direction of the trend.
Here is an example of finding good trades. Price action pulls below white or blue line.
Another example of what a pullback looks like.
This example shows how to find trend using crossovers.
Another example how trend can be found but by using line direction.
LSMA Wave Rider can be found here:
Pull Back Strategy SignalPull back strategy based on moving averages. The scripts will show buy or sell signal based on moving averages - exponential.
Trend ResumptionWe again keep it really simple.
This indicator just plots the combination of RGRR and GRGG candlesticks. (R = Red / Bearish, G = Green / Bullish)
When either pattern occurs, trade the combined high and combined low of recent 2 RR or recent 2 GG candles. I.e.,
Buy above GG's high with SL at GG's low.
Sell below RR's low with SL at RR's high.
Refer the shared chart for example. The signals were plotted on both the sides, and wherever triggered - gave rewards.
Only 1 at 05-Apr, 10:50 a.m. did not trigger, but that must then be ignored. Do not hurry to enter the trade, wait for breakout / breakdown above combined high / low.
Entry master RSI pullbackSimply using a single RSI and placing a signal after it crosses the 50 level after being overbought or oversold in the same direction.
scalping against trapped countertrendAbstract
This script attempts to find the end of countertrend.
This script uses oscillators to measure long term and short period trends. When the long term trend keeps positive and clear short term period is over, this script provides a buy signal.
This script does not contain pullback, cut loss and re-enter. You need to add it manually.
Introduction
Many traders want to buy when long term trend is bullish and short term pullback is over.
This is because we can take advantage to the emotion of countertrend traders.
Countertrend traders realizes their profit is finite and therefore want to protect their profit well and limit their loss.
This script is inspired by a searchable trading strategy video.
The video mentioned 4 points.
(1) long term trend. The video did not spend much ink on this point. You can use any method to observe.
(2) clear pullback bar (at least 50% body)
(3) weak bar after clear pullback
(4) entry trigger buy stop
This script attempts to quantize these points to determine trading direction.
This script is originally designed for timeframes lower than examples in the video but you can apply it on any timeframe.
Computing and Adjusting
(1) long term trend
This script uses smoothed stochastic.
(2) clear pullback bar
Since this script is originally designed for timeframes lower than examples in the video, so the condition becomes:
RSI is low enough
(3) weak bar after clear pullback
RSI goes back from low level.
(4) entry trigger buy stop
This script does not include this condition.
You can decide enter when buy stop or pullback.
Parameters
x_src : the value for computing oscillators
x_len_a : how many bars for measuring short term trend
x_len_b : how many bars for measuring long term trend
x_k_b : smooth long term trend, the average value of stochastic values
x_changk = check if clear short term pullback appears recently. 1 means do not use, larger numbers means how long of periods to check.
x_rsi_ct : threshold of short term pullback clear
x_rsi_ft : threshold of short term pullback end
Reading numbers in Strategy Tester
Most possible loss :
(1) to find rational pullback. Generally 1/3 to 2/3 atr.
(2) to find cut loss distance. Generally 1 to 2 atr.
Most possible profit :
to find if trading the opposite direction against this script is profitable.
Conclusion
This script can suggest us trading direction.
Waiting for pullback can reduce risk, compared to buy stop.
This script does not provide good signals in sideways markets.

Excellent ADXThe Average Directional movement indeX (ADX) is an indicator that helps you determine the trend direction, pivot points, and much more else! But it looks not so easy as other famous indicators. It seems strange or even terrible, but don't be afraid. Let's understand how it works and get its power into your analysis tactics.
In the beginning, imagine a drunk man goes through a ladder: step by step. Up, up, down, up, down, down, up...
How can we understand which direction he goes? Exactly! We can count the number of steps in each direction. In the above example, in the upward – 4, in the downward – 3. So, it looks like he goes in an upward direction.
The ADX indicator counts the same steps, but for price. The size of each step equals 1 ATR for "DI Length" candles. On the indicator chart, we have the green and red lines. The green line represents a number of steps upward. The red line shows one downward. When the red line upper green, then the price goes below, then the trend is directed down. Later the green line comes above the red one, and then the trend changes the direction to upward. Wow? After that, you can easy detect the trend direction on the market!
But it is still not the end. On the chart, we also have the fat blue line. This is the ADX line, and it represents the power of the trend. It is calculated from a distance between the green and red curves. The ADX line value grows if the distance is increased. If the movement is really powerful, then a number of steps into a direction much more prominent than one in an opposed direction. Then the blue line grows faster. But if the growth has stopped and the blue line turns back or already had changed self-direction, then it is a signal that the trend has ended too. It's an excellent sign to close the position (but not always). Easy? Not quite. Thresholds help you there. The indicator has two additional parameters: upper and lower thresholds to evaluate the trend-over signal strength. An u-turn of the ADX line above the upper threshold sends a strong signal. If one occurs between both thresholds, it is a bit weak signal. But if the blue line goes below the lower threshold, it looks like there is no trend, and the price goes side. We can also say that the price goes side when the ADX value gradually falls down.
The Excellent ADX indicator helps you catch pivot/pullback signals based on green, red, and blue lines. Each such signal is highlighted as a green (buy) or red (sell) dot on the plot. The size of the dot represents the strength of the signal. You can also check the position of green and red lines from each other to determine the trend direction and the place where it has been changed. The Excellent ADX indicator helps you there too. It highlights the trend direction by the background-color, so you'll never miss it! The Excellent ADX good compliance with the Price Channel indicator built for the same length. You can use them together to be on a trend wave always!
EMA Pullback StudyA colored EMA (period can be chosen via inputs).
A signal is generated on the first price touch of the EMA following the price floating above or below it for several bars.
- If EMA is green and a green up arrow appears (price touch), look for buys.
- If EMA is red and a red down arrow appears look for sells.
Can be used with a longer period MA to confirm overall direction, MTF, chop zone, etc.
May wish to enter on the signal, or wait for price to turn back in direction of the trend.
Still in development!
