Enhanced Gap Up/Down AnalysisThis Pine Script indicator, titled "Enhanced Gap Up/Down Analysis", is designed to visually analyze the percentage gaps between the current day's opening price and the previous day's closing price. It provides valuable insights into market behavior by categorizing gaps and coloring them based on specific conditions.
Key Features:
Bar Coloring Based on Conditions:
Gap-Up Days:
Green if the day closes higher than it opens.
Red if the day closes lower than it opens.
Gap-Down Days:
Red if the day closes lower than it opens.
Green if the day closes higher than it opens.
The bar's position reflects the gap percentage (positive values for gap-ups above the X-axis, negative values for gap-downs below the X-axis).

Multiple Moving Average Deviation Composite IndicatorMulti-Moving Average Deviation Comprehensive Indicator
Indicator Name
Multi-Moving Average Deviation Comprehensive Indicator (Short Title: Multi-MA Deviation Indicator)
**Design Concept**
This indicator is based on the deviation rates of multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to analyze market trends, overbought/oversold regions, and potential buy/sell signals. By visualizing comprehensive deviations and MACD-like signals, it provides intuitive market dynamics and deeper insights into price behavior through divergence detection.
Logic and Implementation Details
1. **Calculation of Multiple EMAs**
- Four user-defined periods (default: 20, 50, 100, 200) are used to calculate EMAs.
- Each EMA reflects the price trend over a specific timeframe.
2. **Deviation Rate Calculation**
- **Types of Deviation:**
- Deviation between closing price and EMA20:
$dif20 = \frac{close}{EMA20} \times 100 - 100$
- Deviation between EMA20 and EMA50:
$dif25 = \frac{EMA20}{EMA50} \times 100 - 100$
- Deviation between EMA50 and EMA100:
$dif51 = \frac{EMA50}{EMA100} \times 100 - 100$
- Deviation between EMA100 and EMA200:
$dif120 = \frac{EMA100}{EMA200} \times 100 - 100$
- Comprehensive Deviation Indicator (difxx):
Combines the above deviations with equal weighting to reflect the overall trend deviation.
3. **Trend Determination**
- If the comprehensive deviation (`difxx`) is positive, the market is in an uptrend.
- If `difxx` is negative, the market is in a downtrend.
4. **MACD-Like Dynamic Analysis**
- Computes the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the comprehensive deviation (`difxx`) to generate MACD-like signals.
- The histogram difference reflects market momentum changes.
- Histogram crossing from negative to positive triggers a buy signal, while crossing from positive to negative triggers a sell signal.
5. **Overbought and Oversold Regions**
- Defines dynamic overbought (`difmax`) and oversold (`difmin`) levels based on historical lowest and highest values of `difxx`.
- Values above `difmax` indicate an overbought region, and values below `difmin` indicate an oversold region.
6. **Divergence Detection**
- **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes a new high, but `difxx` does not.
- **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes a new low, but `difxx` does not.
- Divergence signals are marked on the chart for clarity.
7. **Trend Labels**
- Displays the current trend state (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways) on the chart.
How to Use
Parameter Settings
- Users can customize the following parameters to adapt to different market conditions:
- EMA periods (default: 20, 50, 100, 200)
- Length for calculating overbought and oversold levels (default: 200)
Key Signals
1. **Buy Signal**
- Triggered when the MACD histogram crosses from negative to positive.
- Buy signals in the oversold region are more reliable.
2. **Sell Signal**
- Triggered when the MACD histogram crosses from positive to negative.
- Sell signals in the overbought region carry higher risk.
3. **Trend Determination**
- Background color indicates the current trend:
- **Green Background:** Uptrend.
- **Red Background:** Downtrend.
4. **Divergence Signals**
- Bullish divergence suggests potential upward reversals.
- Bearish divergence suggests potential downward reversals.
Application Scenarios
- **Short-Term Trading:** Capture short-term reversals using overbought/oversold signals.
- **Trend Following:** Use `difxx` to identify trends and confirm them with MACD momentum.
- **Divergence Analysis:** Spot turning points in the market.
Notes
1. **Market Adaptability:**
- This indicator works best in trending markets but may produce false signals in sideways markets.
2. **Parameter Optimization:**
- Adjust EMA periods and divergence detection windows based on the characteristics of the asset being traded.
3. **Combination with Other Tools:**
- Enhance results by combining this indicator with other technical tools, such as Bollinger Bands or RSI.
This indicator allows traders to grasp market trends clearly, identify trading opportunities, and gain a deeper understanding of market behavior.
**多重移动平均线辑与使用说明**
**设计思路**
本指标基于多个指数移动平均线（EMA）的偏差率计算，用以分析市场的趋势、超买超卖区域、以及潜在的买卖信号。通过综合偏差和类似 MACD 的信号直观展现市场动态，并通过背离检测提供更深层次的价格行为洞察。
**逻辑与实现细节**
1. **多周期 EMA 计算**
- 使用四个用户自定义周期（默认分别为 20、50、100、200）计算 EMA。
- 每条 EMA 表示不同时间范围的价格趋势。
2. **偏差率计算**
- **偏差类型：**
- 收盘价与 EMA20 的偏差：$dif20 = \frac{close}{EMA20} \times 100 - 100$
- EMA20 与 EMA50 的偏差：$dif25 = \frac{EMA20}{EMA50} \times 100 - 100$
- EMA50 与 EMA100 的偏差：$dif51 = \frac{EMA50}{EMA100} \times 100 - 100$
- EMA100 与 EMA200 的偏差：$dif120 = \frac{EMA100}{EMA200} \times 100 - 100$
- 综合偏差指标（difxx）：对上述偏差赋予等权重并加总，用于反映综合趋势偏离程度。
3. **趋势判定**
- 若综合偏差 `difxx` 为正，则市场处于上升趋势。
- 若综合偏差 `difxx` 为负，则市场处于下降趋势。
4. **类似 MACD 的动态分析**
- 计算综合偏差的简单移动平均线（SMA）与指数移动平均线（EMA），形成类似 MACD 的信号。
- 差值直方图表示市场动能变化。
- 直方图由负转正触发买入信号，由正转负触发卖出信号。
5. **超买和超卖区域**
- 根据历史综合偏差最低和最高值定义动态超买（difmax）和超卖（difmin）水平。
- 超过 difmax 为超买区域，低于 difmin 为超卖区域。
6. **背离检测**
- **看跌背离：**价格创新高，但 `difxx` 没有创新高。
- **看涨背离：**价格创新低，但 `difxx` 没有创新低。
- 背离信号通过图形标记提示。
7. **趋势标签**
- 显示当前趋势状态（上升趋势、下降趋势或横向盘整）在图表上。
**使用方法**
**参数设置**
- 用户可调整以下参数以适应不同市场条件：
- EMA 周期（默认 20、50、100、200）
- 超买和超卖计算的参考长度（默认 200）
**主要信号**
1. **买入信号**
- 当 MACD 直方图由负转正，标记为“买入信号”。
- 超卖区域中出现买入信号具有更高可信度。
2. **卖出信号**
- 当 MACD 直方图由正转负，标记为“卖出信号”。
- 超买区域中出现卖出信号风险较高。
3. **趋势判断**
- 图表背景颜色指示当前趋势方向：
- **绿色背景：**上升趋势。
- **红色背景：**下降趋势。
4. **背离信号**
- 看涨背离提示可能的趋势反转向上。
- 看跌背离提示可能的趋势反转向下。
**应用场景**
- **短线交易：**结合超买超卖信号捕捉短期反转。
- **趋势跟踪：**利用 difxx 趋势判断并结合 MACD 动能确认趋势延续。
- **背离分析：**用于捕捉市场转折点。
**注意事项**
1. **市场适应性：**
- 指标适用于趋势明显的市场，震荡行情中可能出现较多虚假信号。
2. **参数优化：**
- 建议根据交易标的特性调整 EMA 周期与背离检测窗口长度。
3. **配合使用：**
- 与其他技术分析工具（如布林带、RSI）结合使用效果更佳。

Fibonacci Confluence Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Fibonacci Confluence Toolkit is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential price reversal zones by combining key market signals and patterns. It highlights areas of interest where significant price action or reactions are anticipated, automatically applies Fibonacci retracement levels to outline potential pullback zones, and detects engulfing candle patterns.
Its unique strength lies in its reliance solely on price patterns, eliminating the need for user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
The script begins by detecting CHoCH (Change of Character) points—key indicators of shifts in market direction. This script integrates the principles of pure price action as applied in Pure-Price-Action-Structures , where further details on the detection process can be found.
The detected CHoCH points serve as the foundation for defining an Area of Interest (AOI), a zone where significant price action or reactions are anticipated.
As new swing highs or lows emerge within the AOI, the tool automatically applies Fibonacci retracement levels to outline potential retracement zones. This setup enables traders to identify areas where price pullbacks may occur, offering actionable insights into potential entries or reversals.
Additionally, the toolkit highlights engulfing candle patterns within these zones, further refining entry points and enhancing confluence for better-informed trading decisions based on real-time trend dynamics and price behavior.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Market Patterns
Bullish Structures: Enable or disable all bullish components of the indicator.
Bearish Structures: Enable or disable all bearish components of the indicator.
Highlight Area of Interest: Toggle the option to highlight the Areas of Interest (enabled or disabled).
CHoCH Line: Choose the line style for the CHoCH (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted).
Width: Adjust the width of the CHoCH line.
🔹 Retracement Levels
Choose which Fibonacci retracement levels to display (e.g., 0, 0.236, 0.382, etc.).
🔹 Swing Levels & Engulfing Patterns
Swing Levels: Select how swing levels are marked (symbols like ◉, △▽, or H/L).
Engulfing Candle Patterns: Choose which engulfing candle patterns to detect (All, Structure-Based, or Disabled).
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS

Implied Leverage Ratio Between Current Symbol and BTCThis script calculates and visualizes the implied leverage ratio between the current symbol and Bitcoin (BTC). The implied leverage ratio is computed by comparing the cumulative price changes of the two symbols over a defined number of candles. The results provide insights into how the current symbol performs relative to BTC in terms of bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) movements.
Features
Cumulative Up and Down Ratios:
The script calculates the cumulative price increase (up) and decrease (down) ratios for both the current symbol and BTC. These ratios are based on the percentage changes relative to each candle's opening price.
Implied Leverage Ratio:
For bullish movements, the cumulative up ratio of the current symbol is divided by BTC's cumulative up ratio.
For bearish movements, the cumulative down ratio of the current symbol is divided by BTC's cumulative down ratio.
These values reflect the implied leverage of the current symbol relative to BTC in both directions.
Customizable Comparison Symbol:
By default, the script compares the current symbol to BINANCE:BTCUSDT. However, you can specify any other symbol to tailor the analysis.
Interactive Visualization:
Green Line: Represents the ratio of cumulative up movements (current symbol vs. BTC).
Red Line: Represents the ratio of cumulative down movements (current symbol vs. BTC).
A horizontal zero line is included for reference, ensuring the chart always starts from zero.
How to Use
Add this script to your chart from the Pine Editor or the public library.
Customize the number of candles (t) to define the period over which cumulative changes are calculated.
If desired, replace the comparison symbol with another asset in the input settings.
Analyze the green and red lines to identify relative strength and implied leverage trends.
Who Can Benefit
Traders and Analysts: Gain insights into the relative performance of altcoins, stocks, or other instruments against BTC.
Leverage Seekers: Identify assets with higher or lower implied leverage compared to Bitcoin.
Market Comparisons: Understand how various assets react to market movements relative to BTC.
This tool is particularly useful for identifying potential outperformers or underperformers relative to Bitcoin and can guide strategic decisions in trading pairs or market analysis.

squeeze candles with volume Function :
This indicator was designed to detect specific candles called “squeeze”. These candles are characterized by a relatively small body (the difference between the opening and closing price) and long shadows (the distance between the high and low prices), accompanied by significant volume. They often indicate a period of increased volatility or a potential trend reversal.
Use :
Visual detection:
Candles identified as "squeeze" are highlighted in red on the chart.
An “S” icon appears above each detected squeeze candle.
Alerts:
The indicator emits an audible and visual alert when a squeeze candle with high volume is detected (if alerts are enabled).
Market analysis:
This indicator is particularly useful for identifying trading opportunities during periods when the market is showing signs of compression or impending volatility.
Customizable settings:
Minimum volume: Defines the threshold at which the volume is considered high.
Maximum body/shadow ratio: Allows you to adjust the sensitivity to detect squeeze candles (the lower the ratio, the smaller the detected candles will have in relation to their shadows).
Benefits :
Provides accurate alerts on key market candles.
Helps anticipate large movements through analysis of volume and candle characteristics.
Adaptable to different strategies thanks to adjustable parameters.
Ideal for:
Traders who want to identify areas of potential volatility or reversal signals in the market, regardless of the asset or time frame used.
FXC NQ Opening Range Breakout Strategy V2.4Mechanical Strategy that trades breakouts on NQ futures on the 15min timeframe during the NYSE session. It's designed to manage Apex and Top Step accounts with the lowest risk possible.
Risk Disclaimer:
Past results as well as strategy tester reports do not indicate future performance. Guarantees do not exist in trading. By using this strategy you risk losing all your money.
Important:
It only trades on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and takes usually only 1 trade per trading day.
It works on the 15min timeframe only.
The settings are optimised already for NQ but feel free to change them.
How it works:
Every selected trading day it measures the range of the first 15min candle after the NYSE open. As soon as price closes above on the 15min timeframe, it will trade the breakout targeting a set risk to reward ratio. SL on the opposite side of the range. It will trail the SL after a set amount of points and uses a buffer of the set amount of points to trail it.
Settings:
Opening Range Time : This is the time of the day in hours and minutes when the strategy starts looking for trades. It's in the EST/ NY Timezone and set to 9:30-09:45 by default
because that's the NYSE open.
Session Time : This is the time of the day in hours and minutes until the strategy trades. It's in the EST/ NY Timezone and set to 09:45-14:45 by default.
because that's what gave the best results in backtesting. Open trades will get closed automatically once the end of the session is reached. No matter if win or loss. This is just to prevent holding positions over night.
Session Border This setting is to select the border color in which the session box will be plotted.
Opening Range Box This setting is to select the fill color of the opening range box.
Opening Range Border This setting is to select the border color of the session box.
Trade Timeframe This setting determines on which timeframe candle has to close outside the opening range box in order to take a trade. It's set to 15min by default because this is what worked by far the best in backtests and live trading.
Stop Loss Buffer in Points: This is simply the buffer in points that is added to the SL for safety reasons. If you have it on 0, the SL will be at the exact price of the opposite side of the range. By default it's set to 0 pips because this is what delivered the best results in backtests.
Profit Target Factor: This is simply the total SL size in points multiplied by x.
Example: If you put 2, you get a 1:2 Risk to Reward Ratio. By Default it's set to 4 because this gave the best results in backtests, because trades always get closed either by trailing SL or because the end of the session is reached.
Use Trailing Stop Loss: This setting is to enable/ disable the trailing stop loss. It's enabled by default because this is a fundamental part of the strategy.
Trailing Stop Buffer: This setting determines after how many points in profit the trailing SL will be activated.
Risk Type: You can chose either between Fixed USD Amount, Risk per Trade in % or Fixed Contract Size. By default it's set to fixed contract size.
Risk Amount (USD or Contracts): This setting is to set how many USD or how many contracts you want to risk per trade. Make sure to check which risk type you have selected before you chose the risk amount.
Use Limit Orders If enabled, the strategy will place a pending order x points from the current price, instead of a market order. Limit orders are enabled by default for a better performance. Important: It doesn't actually place a limit order. The strategy will just wait for a pullback and then enter with a market order. It's more like a hidden limit order.
Limit Order Distance (points): If you have limit orders enabled, this setting determines how many points from the current price the limit order will be placed.
Trading Days: These checkboxes are to select on which week days the strategy has to trade. Thursday is disabled by default because backtests have shown that Thursday is the least profitable day
Backtest Settings:
For the backtest the commissions ere set to 0.35 USD per mini contract which is the highest amount Tradeovate charges. Margin was not accounted for because typically on Apex accounts you can use way more contracts than you need for the extremely low max drawdown. Margin would be important on personal accounts but even there typically it's not an issue at all especially because this strategy runs on the 15min timeframe so it won't use a lot of contracts anyways.
What makes it unique:
This script is unique because it's designed to be used on Apex and Top Step accounts with extremely strict drawdown rules.
The strategy is optimised to be traded with a fixed contract size instead of using % risk. The reason for that is that the drawdown rules of these Futures Prop Accounts are very strict and the fact that the smallest trade-able contract size is 1.
Why the source code is hidden:
The source code is hidden because I invested a lot of time and money into developing this strategy and optimising it with paid 3rd party software. Also since I use it myself on my Apex accounts and prop firms don't allow copy trading I don't want it to be used by too many traders.

Holding VolumeThe Holding Volume indicator calculates and visualizes the volume that corresponds specifically to the body of each candle, excluding the wicks (the upper and lower shadows of the candle).
This indicator can help traders better understand the strength of price movement during the trading session, as it isolates the volume that occurs when the price is moving within the body of the candle (between the open and close prices).
Key Features:
Volume Calculation: The indicator calculates the holding volume by taking the ratio of the candle's body range to its total range (including the wicks), and then multiplies that by the total volume of the candle.
Main Chart Display: The indicator is designed to be overlaid on the main chart, displaying the holding volume in a style similar to the default volume indicator.
Customizable Label Color: Customize the text color of the volume labels displayed on each candle.
Volume as Columns: The holding volume is shown as columns at the bottom of the chart, similar to the default volume display, for easy comparison and analysis.
How It Helps:
By focusing on the volume within the candle body, this indicator helps you see where the actual price movement and market participation occurred.
It can be useful for identifying candles with strong momentum or distinguishing between significant price movements and those driven by minor fluctuations or wicks.
Ideal Use Case:
Day traders, swing traders, and volume-focused traders can use this indicator to identify trends and analyze the strength of price moves.
This indicator is particularly useful when combined with other technical analysis tools to validate breakouts or reversals, based on the volume within the body of the candles.
Instructions:
No additional setup required: Simply add the indicator to your chart, and it will automatically display the holding volume on the main chart.
Adjust the label text color via the settings to match your chart's theme.
Square Numbers Horizontal LinesTrading with square numbers is a unique approach to technical analysis, where square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.) are used to guide the identification of potential levels of support, resistance, and price targets. These numbers are often considered in a more mathematical or geometric context, and they can be applied in trading strategies, chart patterns, and psychological market analysis.

Alternative Price [OmegaTools]The Alternative Price script is a sophisticated and flexible indicator designed to redefine how traders visualize and interpret price data. By offering multiple unique charting modes, robust customization options, and advanced features, this tool provides a comprehensive alternative to traditional price charts. It is particularly useful for identifying market trends, detecting patterns, and simplifying complex data into actionable insights.
This script is highly versatile, allowing users to choose from five distinct charting modes: Candles, Line, Channel, Renko, and Bubbles. Each mode serves a unique purpose and presents price information in an innovative way. When using this script, it is strongly recommended to hide the platform’s default price candles or chart data. Doing so will eliminate redundancy and provide a clearer and more focused view of the alternative price visualization.
The Candles mode offers a traditional candlestick charting style but with added flexibility. Users can choose to enable smoothed opens or smoothed closes, which adjust the way the open and close prices are calculated. When smoothed opens are enabled, the opening price is computed as the average of the actual open price and the closing prices of the previous two bars. This creates a more gradual representation of price transitions, particularly useful in markets prone to sudden spikes or irregularities. Similarly, smoothed closes modify the closing price by averaging it with the previous close, the high-low midpoint, and an exponential moving average of the high-low-close mean. This technique filters out noise, making trends and price momentum easier to identify.
In the Line mode, the script displays a simple line chart that connects the smoothed closing prices. This mode is ideal for traders who prefer minimalism or need to focus on the overall trend without the distraction of individual bar details. The Channel mode builds upon this by plotting additional lines representing the highs and lows of each bar. The resulting visualization resembles a price corridor that helps identify support and resistance zones or price compression areas.
The Renko mode introduces a more advanced and noise-filtering method of visualizing price movements. Renko charts, constructed using the ATR (Average True Range) as a baseline, display blocks that represent a specific price range. The script dynamically calculates the size of these blocks based on ATR, with separate thresholds for upward and downward movements. This makes Renko mode particularly effective for identifying sustained trends while ignoring minor price fluctuations. Additionally, the open and close values of Renko blocks can be smoothed to further refine the visualization.
The Bubbles mode represents price activity using circles or bubbles whose size corresponds to relative volume. This mode provides a quick and intuitive way to assess market participation at different price levels. Larger bubbles indicate higher trading volumes, while smaller bubbles highlight periods of lower activity. This visualization is particularly valuable in understanding the relationship between price movements and market liquidity.
The coloring of candles and other chart elements is a core feature of this script. Users can select between two color modes: Normal and Volume. In Normal mode, bullish candles are displayed in the user-defined bullish color, while bearish candles use the bearish color. Neutral elements, such as midpoints or undecided price movements, are shaded with a neutral color. In Volume mode, the candle colors are dynamically adjusted based on trading volume. A gradient color scale is applied, where the intensity of the bullish or bearish colors reflects the volume for that particular bar. This feature allows traders to visually identify periods of heightened activity and associate them with specific price movements.
Engulfing patterns, a popular technical analysis tool, are automatically detected and marked on the chart when the corresponding setting is enabled. The script identifies long engulfing patterns, where the current bar's range completely encompasses the previous bar’s range and indicates a potential bullish reversal. Similarly, short engulfing patterns are identified where the current bar fully engulfs the previous bar in the opposite direction, suggesting a bearish reversal. These patterns are visually highlighted with circular markers to draw the trader’s attention.
Each feature and mode is highly customizable. The colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral movements can be personalized, and the thresholds for patterns or smoothing can be fine-tuned to match specific trading strategies. The script's ability to toggle between various modes makes it adaptable to different market conditions and analysis preferences.
In summary, the Alternative Price script is a comprehensive tool that redefines the way traders view price charts. By offering multiple visualization modes, customizable features, and advanced detection algorithms, it provides a powerful way to uncover market trends, volume relationships, and significant patterns. The recommendation to hide default chart elements ensures that the focus remains on this innovative tool, enhancing its usability and clarity. This script empowers traders to gain deeper insights into market behavior and make informed trading decisions, all while maintaining a clean and visually appealing chart layout.
Keep in mind that some of the modes of this indicator might not reflect the actual closing price of the underlying asset, before opening a trade, check carefully the actual price!
Period Separator & Candle OHLCThis script combines two powerful tools for traders: period separators and custom timeframe-based OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data visualization. Here's what it does:
Period Separators:
The script draws vertical lines to indicate the start of new time periods based on a user-defined timeframe (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Users can customize the separator color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width to suit their preferences.
Fetches OHLC data from a higher or custom timeframe (e.g., 4 hours) and overlays it on the current chart.
Users can choose to display the open, high, low, and close prices as dots or circles for easy visualization.
Optionally, the open and close dots can be visually connected with a filled bar for a candlestick-like effect.
The script color-codes the close price relative to the open (green if higher, red if lower) to highlight price direction at a glance.
Fully Customizable:
Users have full control over which OHLC values to display and whether the dots should be filled.
Transparency settings for plotted dots and fills are also adjustable for optimal visibility on different chart styles.
How It Is Useful for Trading:
Timeframe Analysis:
The period separators make it easy to distinguish trading activity across custom time intervals. This is crucial for intraday, swing, and long-term traders who analyze price movements within specific periods.
Multi-Timeframe Insights:
By overlaying OHLC data from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart, traders can identify key support and resistance levels, pivots, and trends that are not immediately visible on the current timeframe.
Trend Recognition:
The color-coded close dots (green for bullish, red for bearish) provide an instant visual cue of market sentiment, helping traders confirm or refute their bias.
Whether you're a scalper, day trader, or position trader, the flexibility in timeframe selection, styling, and data presentation ensures this tool can adapt to your trading strategy.

Blue Sniper V.1Overview
This Pine Script indicator is designed to generate Buy and Sell signals based on proximity to the 50 EMA, stochastic oscillator levels, retracement conditions, and EMA slopes. It is tailored for trending market conditions, making it ideal for identifying high-probability entry points during strong bullish or bearish trends.
Key Features:
Filters out signals in non-trending conditions.
Focuses on retracements near the 50 EMA for precise entries.
Supports alert notifications for Buy and Sell signals.
Includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent signal spamming.
Allows time-based filtering to restrict signals to a specific trading window.
How It Works
Trending Market Conditions
The indicator is most effective when the market exhibits a clear trend. It uses two exponential moving averages (50 EMA and 200 EMA) to determine the overall market trend:
Bullish Trend: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have upward slopes.
Bearish Trend: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have downward slopes.
Buy and Sell Conditions
Buy Signal:
The market is in a bullish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the oversold zone.
Price retraces upwards, breaking away from the recent low by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA (within the defined proximity percentage).
Sell Signal:
The market is in a bearish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the overbought zone.
Price retraces downwards, breaking away from the recent high by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA.
Outputs
Signals:
Buy Signal: Green "BUY" label below the price bar.
Sell Signal: Red "SELL" label above the price bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered for Buy and Sell signals if conditions are met within the specified time window (if enabled).
EMA Visualization:
50 EMA (blue line).
200 EMA (red line).
Limitations
Not Suitable for Non-Trending Markets: This script is designed for trending conditions. Sideways or choppy markets may produce false signals.
Proximity Tolerance: Adjust the proximityPercent to prevent signals from triggering too frequently during minor oscillations around the 50 EMA.
No Guarantee of Accuracy: As with any technical indicator, it should be used in conjunction with other tools and analysis.

Primary Buy Signals (B1-B10)
Special Indicators (HH, ED)
Understanding Buy Signals
B1: Follow-Through Day (FTD)
Buy on the initial FTD with volume higher than the previous day. You may use an FTD from an index other than the NASDAQ:IXIC , but if you do, you must stay within that index for future Buy and Sell Signals.
B2: Additional Follow-Through
Buy on all additional follow-through days within 25 days from a rally day that closes above the low of the initial follow-through day.
B3: Low Above EMA21
Buy on an up or flat day when the intraday low is at or above the EMA21. Note: Once you have a B3 or B4, you can't have another until it is reset by an S5.
Special Buy Indicators
HH: Higher High (No FTD after Rally)
Triggers when current close exceeds highest point since last confirmed rally. Must not have a Follow-Through Day (FTD). Buy switch turns on when close exceeds last rally's high and turns off if close drops below that high.
ED: Expired Days
Tracks Distribution and Stalling days that have aged out. Days are tracked for a specific trading period and expired days are removed from the count.
Index Rise Settings
Index Rise 6% from DD & SD
Toggle to enable/disable monitoring of price rises above Distribution and Stalling Days. Default value of 6% (adjustable) for monitoring rises above these days.
Understanding Index Rise
This feature tracks significant market recoveries by monitoring when the index rises substantially above Distribution Days (DD) or Stalling Days (SD). When the index rises 6% or more above the closing price of any DD or SD, it indicates a strong market recovery. This is an important signal because it helps identify when the market has shown enough strength to potentially overcome previous distribution periods. When triggered, this signal reduces the distribution day count, effectively acknowledging that the previous distribution pattern may no longer be as relevant due to the market's strong recovery.

FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.
James Gordon StrategyThis strategy is designed to identify potential bullish “bounce” points off a long-term moving average, specifically the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), on a 4-hour chart. The logic behind the strategy assumes that when price action interacts with this key support level and then closes above it, buyers are showing renewed interest and strength at that price level.
How It Works:
1. Focus on the 200 EMA:
The 200 EMA is often considered a long-term trend indicator. Price trading above the 200 EMA generally suggests an uptrend, while price trading below it suggests a downtrend. By targeting bounces on this EMA, the strategy looks for moments when price is demonstrating a willingness to hold or reclaim a pivotal support level.
2. Bounce Condition:
A “bounce” is defined by two key criteria:
- Test of Support: During the chosen candle (4-hour timeframe), the low price of the candle reaches the 200 EMA or dips just below it, indicating the market is testing that support zone.
- Close Above the EMA: By the end of that same candle, the price closes above the 200 EMA, signaling that buyers stepped in and defended that level.
3. Why This Matters:
When a candle’s low touches or moves below an important moving average, it might appear that the price could break down further. However, if the candle still manages to close above this moving average, it indicates resilience and potential bullish momentum. This can be an early sign of a price rebound, potentially offering a trading opportunity for those looking to go long.
4. Practical Use:
- Entry Signals: Traders may use these bounce signals to time entries, betting on the idea that price could move higher now that key support has held.
- Stop Placement and Risk Management: Traders can define their risk by placing stops just below the recent low or slightly under the 200 EMA.
- Market Context: To maximize its usefulness, traders should combine the bounce condition with other indicators, market structure analysis, and fundamental insights.
Traders should consider the overall trend, momentum indicators, volume profiles, or macro events to increase confidence in the signal.
In essence, the strategy aims to highlight moments when price action “bounces” off a crucial support level, potentially signaling a favorable entry point for bullish trades.

Enigma End Game Indicator
Enigma End Game Indicator Description
The Enigma End Game indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance the way traders approach support and resistance, combining mainstream technical analysis with a unique, dynamic perspective. At its core, this indicator enables traders to adapt to market conditions in real time by applying a blend of classic and modern interpretations of support and resistance levels.
In traditional support and resistance analysis, we recognize the significant price points where the market has historically reversed or consolidated. However, the *Enigma End Game* indicator takes this one step further by analyzing each individual candle's high as a potential resistance level and each low as support. This allows the trader to stay more agile, as the market constantly updates and evolves. The dynamic nature of this method acknowledges that price movements are fractal in nature, meaning that these levels are not static but adjust in response to price action on multiple timeframes.
### How It Works:
When using the *Enigma End Game* indicator, it doesn't simply plot buy and sell signals automatically. Instead, the indicator highlights key levels based on the interaction between price and historical price action. Here's how it operates:
1. **Buy Logic:**
The indicator identifies bullish signals based on the *Enigma* logic, but it does not trigger an immediate buy. Instead, it plots arrows above or below the candles, indicating the key price levels where price action has shifted. Traders then focus on these areas, particularly looking for buy opportunities *below* these levels during key market sessions (such as London or New York) while aligning with both mainstream support and resistance and *Enigma* levels.
2. **Sell Logic:**
Similarly, when the indicator identifies a sell signal, it plots an arrow above the candle where price action has reversed. This does not immediately suggest selling. Traders wait for a price retracement back to the previously breached low (for a sell order) or high (for a buy order), observing price action closely on lower timeframes (such as the 1-minute chart) to refine entry points. The entry is triggered when price starts to show signs of reversing at these levels, further validated by mainstream and *Enigma* support/resistance.
### Practical Example – XAU/USD (Gold):
For instance, in the settings of the *Enigma End Game* indicator, if we select the 5-minute (5MN) timeframe as the key level, the indicator will only plot the first 3 arrows following the *Enigma* logic. The arrows will appear above or below the candle that was breached, indicating a potential trend reversal. In this scenario, the first arrow marks the point where price broke a significant support or resistance level. Afterward, the trader watches for a subsequent candle to close below (in the case of a sell) the previous candle’s low, confirming a bearish bias.
Now, the trader does not rush into a sell order. Instead, they wait for the price to pull back towards the previously breached low. At this point, the trader can use a lower timeframe (like the 1-minute chart) to identify both mainstream support and resistance levels and *Enigma* levels above the main 5-minute key level. These additional levels provide a clearer understanding of where price might reverse and give the trader a stronger edge in refining their entry point.
The trader then sets a sell order *above* the price level of the previous low, but only once signs show that price is retracing and ready to fall again. The price point where this retracement occurs, confirmed by both mainstream and *Enigma* levels, becomes the entry signal for the trade.
### Summary:
The *Enigma End Game* indicator combines time-tested principles of support and resistance with a more modern, adaptive view, empowering traders to read the market with greater precision. It guides you to wait for optimal entries, based on dynamic support and resistance levels that change with each price movement. By combining signals on higher timeframes with refined entries on lower timeframes, traders gain a unique advantage in navigating both obvious and hidden levels of support and resistance, ultimately improving their ability to time trades with higher probability of success.
This indicator allows for a more calculated, strategic approach to trading—highlighting the right moments to enter the market while providing the flexibility to adjust to different market conditions.
The *ENIGMA Signals with Retests* indicator is a versatile trading tool that combines key market sessions with dynamic support and resistance levels. It uses logic to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of recent price swings (highs and lows) and offers flexibility with the number of arrows plotted per session. The user can customize settings like arrow frequency, line styles, and session times, allowing for personalized trading strategies.
The indicator detects buy and sell signals by checking if the price breaks the previous swing high (for buy signals) or swing low (for sell signals). It then stores these levels and draws horizontal lines on the chart, representing critical price levels where traders can expect potential price reactions.
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to limit the number of arrows per session, ensuring a cleaner chart and reducing signal clutter. Horizontal lines are drawn at the identified buy or sell levels, with the option to display labels like "BUY - AT OR BELOW" and "SELL - AT OR ABOVE" to further clarify entry points.
The indicator also incorporates session filtering, allowing traders to focus on specific market sessions (Asia, London, and New York) for more relevant signals, and it ensures that no more than a user-defined number of arrows are plotted within a session.
