Moving Average Contrarian IndicatorThis indicator is designed to identify potential turning points in the market. By measuring the distance between the price and a moving average, and normalizing it, the MACI provides valuable insights into market sentiment and potential reversals. In this article, we will explore the calculation, interpretation, and practical applications of the MACI, along with its potential limitations.
The MACI is calculated in several steps. First, a moving average is computed using a user-defined length, representing the average price over the specified period. The distance between the current price and the moving average is then determined. This distance is normalized using the highest and lowest distances observed within the chosen length, resulting in a value between 0 and 100. Higher MACI values indicate that the price is relatively far from the moving average, potentially signaling an overextension, while lower values suggest price consolidation or convergence with the moving average.
Altering the parameters of the Moving Average Contrarian Indicator can provide traders with additional flexibility and adaptability to suit different market conditions and trading styles. By adjusting the length parameter, traders can customize the sensitivity of the indicator to price movements. A shorter length may result in more frequent and responsive signals, which can be useful for short-term traders aiming to capture quick price reversals. On the other hand, a longer length may provide smoother signals, suited for traders who prefer to focus on longer-term trends and are less concerned with minor fluctuations. Experimenting with different parameter values allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to align with their preferred trading timeframes and risk tolerance. However, it is essential to strike a balance and avoid excessive parameter adjustments that may lead to over-optimization or curve fitting. Regular evaluation and optimization based on historical data and real-time market observations can help identify the most suitable parameter values for optimal performance.
The coloration of the Moving Average Contrarian Indicator provides visual cues that assist traders in interpreting its signals. The background color, set based on the indicator's values, adds an additional layer of context to the chart. When the indicator is indicating bullish conditions, the background color is set to lime, suggesting a favorable environment for long positions. Conversely, when the indicator signals bearish conditions, the background color is set to fuchsia, indicating a potential advantage for short positions. In neutral or transitional periods, the background color is set to yellow, indicating caution and the absence of a clear bias.
The bar color complements the histogram and provides additional visual clarity. When the MACI value is greater than the MACI SMA value and exceeds the threshold of 30, the bars are colored lime, signaling potential bullish conditions. Conversely, when the MACI value is below the MACI SMA value and falls below the threshold of 70, the bars are colored fuchsia, indicating potential bearish conditions. For values that fall between these thresholds, the bars are colored yellow, highlighting a neutral or transitional state.
Practical Uses and Strategies:
The MACI offers traders and analysts valuable insights into market dynamics and potential reversal points. When the MACI is above its moving average and above a predefined threshold (e.g., 30), it suggests that prices have deviated significantly from the average and may be overbought. This could serve as an early indication for potential short-selling opportunities or taking profits on existing long positions. Conversely, when the MACI is below its moving average and below a predefined threshold (e.g., 70), it suggests oversold conditions, potentially signaling a buying opportunity. Traders can combine MACI with other technical indicators or price patterns to further refine their trading strategies.
The MACI can be a powerful tool for identifying potential market reversals. When the MACI reaches extreme levels, such as above 70 or below 30, it indicates overbought or oversold conditions, respectively. Traders can use these signals to anticipate price reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. For example, when the MACI enters the overbought zone, traders may consider initiating short positions or tightening stop-loss levels on existing long positions. Conversely, when the MACI enters the oversold zone, it may indicate a buying opportunity, prompting traders to consider initiating long positions or loosening stop-loss levels.
The MACI can also be used in conjunction with price action to identify potential divergence patterns. Divergence occurs when the MACI and price move in opposite directions. For instance, if the price is making higher highs while the MACI is making lower highs, it suggests a bearish divergence, indicating a potential trend reversal. Conversely, if the price is making lower lows while the MACI is making higher lows, it suggests a bullish divergence, signaling a potential trend reversal to the upside. Traders can use these divergence patterns as additional confirmation signals when making trading decisions.
Limitations:
-- Sideways and Choppy Markets : The MACI performs best in trending markets where price movements are more pronounced. In sideways or choppy markets with limited directional bias, the MACI may generate false signals or provide less reliable indications. Traders should exercise caution when relying solely on the MACI in such market conditions and consider incorporating additional analysis techniques or filters to confirm potential signals.
-- Lagging Indicator : The MACI is a lagging indicator, as it relies on moving averages and historical price data. It may not provide timely signals for very short-term trading or capturing rapid price movements. Traders should be aware that there may be a delay between the occurrence of a signal and its confirmation by the MACI.
-- False Signals : Like any technical indicator, the MACI is not immune to false signals. It is essential to use the MACI in conjunction with other technical indicators, chart patterns, or fundamental analysis to increase the probability of accurate predictions. Combining multiple confirmation signals can help filter out false signals and enhance the overall reliability of trading decisions.
-- Market Conditions : It's important to consider that the effectiveness of the MACI may vary across different markets and asset classes. Each market has its own characteristics, and what works well in one market may not work as effectively in another. Traders should evaluate the performance of the MACI within their specific trading environment and adapt their strategies accordingly.
This indicator can be a valuable addition to a trader's toolkit, offering insights into potential entry and exit points. However, it should be used in conjunction with other analysis techniques and should not be relied upon as a standalone trading signal. Understanding its calculation, interpreting its values, and considering its limitations will empower traders to make more informed decisions in their pursuit of trading success.
Consolidation
Base Finder DailyThe Base Finder Daily is the companion tool to the original Base Finder which is used to identify consolidation periods in a stock's advance. The Base Finder Daily allows traders to zoom in from the weekly chart and get a more precise view of the daily price action during a basing period.
Base Finder Daily identifies three different types of bases (Flat Base, High Tight Flag, Consolidation) and provides key information about the consolidation such as the depth, length, and pivot point. This information allows traders to compare and analyze the best basing patterns quickly and easily.
This tool helps traders of all levels train their eye to identify potential trading opportunities that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Base Finder is a must-have tool for any trader, especially those that have studied the work of William O’Neil. Base Finder stacks up base for base with MarketSmith.
Easily customize the settings, from the look to the intricacies of a consolidation.
Default base settings:
Flat Base
length: 25 days minimum
depth: <= 15%
High Tight Flag
Flag Pole: up 80% or more in less than 40 days
Flag: Less than 25% correction in 10-20 days
Consolidation:
length: minimum 30 days
depth: <= 35%
Notes
This indicator is meant to be used on the daily timeframe.

[KL] Relative Volume + ATR StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position when (a) current volume is above the average volume, and when (b) volatility of prices (based on ATR) is relatively low.
Backtested on hourly timeframes, win rates range between 35% to 50% on stocks with positive drifts (i.e. tendency to move upwards). Default setups are as follows:
- Average volume is computed using simple moving average (sma) of 14 periods. By default, 1.4x ratio seems to work well on most large cap stocks. If it's too high, then amount of potential points for entry will decrease. But if it's too low, then this indicator becomes meaningless.
- ATR (for determining volatility), look back period is 14 (following conventions). I have noticed that the profits could change drastically when changed to different values for each individually security. Feel free to experiment around with this parameter.
Other information: This strategy is based off of one of my previous scripts; a script called "Relatively Volume Strategy". The objective of this new script is to simplify the process of determining periods of low volatility. In this new script, we assume prices are consolidating when current ATR is within its moving average value by +/- one standard deviation.
Braid Filter+OVERVIEW
The Braid Filter indicator was initially made by Robert Hill and published in the Stocks and Commodities Magazine in 2006. This version of the Braid Filter expands upon Hill's original one by adding much more customization and tweaking abilities. Instead of using a simple moving average to calculate the Braid Filter, this version allows you to choose between 43 different moving average calculation types to suit your needs. The original also just used the close price for calculating its moving averages, however, this version allows you to specify different source prices, including the close, median (hl2), typical (hlc3), mean (ohlc4), and weighted (hlcc4) prices. This version also allows you to edit the lookback period for the average true range calculation. It also renamed some arbitrarily named input fields to make them more readable and understandable. Finally, it includes multi-timeframe support and the ability to color bars based on signals.
The Braid Filter calculates 3 average prices:
A short-term average close price
A medium-term average open price
A long-term average close price
It then finds the minimum and maximum of these three average prices. Then it calculates the difference between the highest and lowest average price. This difference is what the histogram shows. Then the filter line is calculated based on the ATR.
CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used to determine the start of trends. It can also be used to determine when the market is consolidating.
When the bar turns green, the average close price is greater than the average open price, indicating bullish momentum. In addition, if the histogram is green, the difference between the highest average price and the lowest average price is high enough to surpass the filter line. This means that not only is there bullish momentum, but there is stronger than average bullish momentum. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the market will trend higher. When the histogram turns red, this situation plays out except in reverse, indicating that the market will trend lower.
If the histogram color is gray, the difference between the highest average price and the lowest average price used to calculate the Braid Filter is meager. Since the highest and lowest average is close together, the price is unlikely to travel far in one direction. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the market is consolidating when this happens.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR
The signals between the histogram and filter are calculated as follows:
If the histogram is above the filter line and the fast average close price is greater than the average open price, the histogram is colored green, indicating bullish conditions.
If the histogram is above the filter line and the fast average close price is less than the average open price, the histogram is colored red, indicating bearish conditions.
If the histogram is below the filter line, the histogram is colored gray, indicating neutral conditions.
range_statA basic statistic to describe "ranges". There are three inputs:
- short range
- long range
- moving average length
The output is a ratio of the short range to the long range. In the screenshot example, the short range is a single day (bar) and the long range is five days. A value near "1" would mean that every day entirely fills the five day range, and that a consolidation is likely present. A value near 0 would mean that each day fills only a small portion of the five day range, and price is probably "trending".
The moving average length is for smoothing the result (which also lags it of course).
The mean, and +- 2 standard deviations are plotted as fuchsia colored lines.
Average HL Range - SATThis indicator dynamically display consolidation range base on three series ( high, low and close). it also display range breakout when a close occurs outside of the range. HeikinAshi and Diffrent Timeframe data can be requested to reduce the noise from the market. All setting are configurable : entryprice, takeprofits, Risk: REward, Dark Mode
Trend Finder with Coefficient of VariationCoefficient of variation (“COV”) is a statistical measure used to describe the variability of values within a data set, it’s calculated by taking the standard deviation divided by the mean.
Traditionally, COV is applied to the expected returns of competing investment portfolios. A risk adverse investor prefers to accept a portfolio with a relatively lower COV value.
On the other hand, when applying COV to price charts, the difference is that instead of looking at expected returns, we now treat price as the source of data. We look at price from a moving average perspective. This script purely focuses on price.
What this indicator does:
Firstly, to go over the parameters:
Let ‘n’ be the lookback period for computing COV, and ‘m’ be the period for comparing the ranking of COVs.
Logics in a nutshell:
This program will (A) calculate the COV by dividing the moving standard deviation by moving average over ‘n’ bars, and then (B) illustrate the relationship of how COV at each bar ranks compared to COVs over past ‘m’ bars. We use a color scale (default black and yellow) for visualizing ranking in terms of percentiles. If COV is below its median value, then we assume that price is consolidating.
Hypothesis:
Using COV on top of regular SMA signals should reduce a lot of unwanted noise such as consecutive crossovers during ranging-periods. Traders want volatility, but not too much of it when sniping for entry opportunities (speaking of initial position; need to add to winning positions after, but this is for another topic). For this reason, the median value of COV is suitable as a metric for signals.
Applications:
We use the median value of COV to form a decision rule. A signal is generated when COV > median(COV,m), and the direction of trend is determined based on relative position of price with respect to sma(price,n). When the value of COV is increasing, it can also be thought of seeing Bollinger Bands beginning to bulge. When trends begin, this program will plot triangles to signify entry opportunities.
BE- InsideOut Explosion - Trade the Benefit Of DoubtDear Traders,
Here with presenting the new Indicator which is primarily built based on the the concept Contraction & Explosion.
Idea behind this Indicator: I am sure every trader would have heard about consolidation and Expansion. When we we look deep inside the consolidation zone it leaves a mark
on the direction most of the time and just explode breaking the consolidation zone. What if the explosion is to trap the retailers like me!!. That's why I call this as Benefit of doubt. If the direction of is right I just sail with the trade right inside the consolidation zone. If I am on the wrong side ! No worries My Money management rules and Protection Legs kicks in and saves my capital.
This Indicator Analyses the Volume, and Chart Patterns inside the Zones and if the price breaks the patterns, initiate the trades. You can trade with Dhan HQ or Algoji.
What this indicator is providing:
Based on the chart patterns and using the inputs provided for RISK and Money Management options, Indicator continuously scans for trading opportunities and provides alerts for possible trades. I have tried to capture some analytical inputs for one to think and take control over the Reward, Risk and Money management parameters to tweak the indicator accordingly.
Note: Indicated PNL is calculated on the Futures Chart with 2 Lots taken per trade.
If you are a Options Traders:
1. Auto Strike is inbuilt and can be traded only if you are trading via AlgoJi.
You will constantly be informed about trade summary, PNL and SL updates as per your preferred choice.
Enjoy!

Consolidation and Breakout (Inside Bars)Consolidation indicates moments of market indecision when there is no shift in price. It is neither positive nor negative. Usually, after a price burst or strong trend movement that market falls back into a phase when traders are cautious about possible overbought or oversold positions. During this period, market reconciles before another breakout or trend emerges. Once you have identified consolidation, the next step is to keep an eye on a possible breakout.
This indicator would be useful for Breakout traders.
A candle's high and low is marked and if consequent candle fails to close above or below the marked candle, it's considered as an inside bar.
This can help breakout traders in tackling fakeouts since the wick above or below the initial candle are neglected and only the candle close above or below the range are considered as breakout.
Day Trade Indicator [by KN Lo]Design for LONG and Day Trade only
=============================
features (this indicator is able to):
- show EMA 9, 50, 200 & VWAP
- show Candle Pattern (e.g. Engulfing, Shooting Star)
- show HMA fast(10) / slow(50) lines
- show Breakout Signal (Blue triangle)
- show RSI Divergence
- find Volitility Decreasing
- find Consolidation stage
- change Background color (green) when positive figures
- show indicator table
=============================
indicator table:
- Price over VWAP
- Price over EMA200
- EMA9 > EMA50 > EMA200
- RSI < 80
- EMA9 > VWAP
- MACD fast > slow
- HMA fast > slow
- RSI Divergence (compare with previous higher high)
- Breakout Signal when the price is higher than previous high
- Volitility: the difference between previous high (9 periods) and previous low (9 periods), average by SMA, if lower than -30, show in green color.
- Consolidation: consider previous 7 periods to find consolidation stage.
Flag DetectorThis script attempts to find consolidations or retracements within the context of a previous uptrend - basically looking for flag type patterns. It first measures an initial move (referred to as the flag pole in this script) and then looks for consolidation after that move within a certain range. If the consolidation is within the rage, it plots a dot under the candle to show you the consolidation areas. It's not fool proof, but seems to do a decent job of identifying pullbacks and sideways consolidations reasonably well.
Highs/Lows difference [OrganicPunch]Highs/Lows difference indicator
To visually evaluate the difference between highs and lows of a price range.
This handsome indicator shows:
difference between highs of 2 candles by displaying it in green histogram
difference between lows of 2 candles by displaying it in red histogram
difference between both highs and lows by displaying a circle at the level of the difference
To read the numerical value, point at the circle of the relevant bar you are interested in, and see the scale.
Indicator is useful in creating strategies where you want to filter out consolidations/ranges (or to locate them), e.g. "Open trade when H/L difference is larger than 200", or "Look for candles with H/L difference lesser than 50".
The exact value of needed H/L difference can be found using this indicator.

Glow-NodeThis indicator uses multiple different indicators in confluence to identify the direction of the trend, pullback zones, accurate entry points and even exit points to give you a simpler trading experience!
Colour Changing Candles
Our first focus was to identify the direction of the trend so we created an indicator to do just that. Instead of having lots of indicators covering your screen we have set the candles to change colour when the trend changes direction! This means you can focus on taking buy trades when the candles are blue and sell trades when the candles are purple.
Glow Cloud
Our unique cloud works as a support and resistance zone, as well as giving you additional confirmation of the direction of the trend. When the price is above the cloud we’re in a buying market and when the price is below the cloud we’re in a selling market. We can also use breakouts and retests of the cloud to find good trade ideas.
Integrated Volume Indicators
Our volume indicators are working hard in the background to give us a better understanding of the market bias. Although you cannot see the indicators, they are used in confluence with the rest of the features to give us more accurate signals. You can also see whether the volume indicates bullish or bearish momentum using the confirmation table.
Main Signals
Our main signals work best between the 15m-4h timeframes. This feature will send you trading signals based on a few different strategies including MA crossovers. Glow Node will only send the signal when all of the confirmations align, giving you an extremely accurate trade set up. The confirmations consist of the market being in an uptrend, bullish volume, above the cloud and then a cross over signal with our secret tool for a buy trade and vice versa for a sell trade.
Scalping Signals
We know how much you all love scalping! When you drop to a 5 minute timeframe or lower, the main signals disappear and you will only be able to see the scalping signals. The scalping signals are triggered when the market pulls back to the cloud and rejects it meaning you can catch all the pullbacks and continuation as you trade with the trend! We’re honestly extremely excited about this feature!
Confirmation Table
Our confirmation table will tell you if all of the features above are in confluence with each other giving you great trading opportunities. It will also show you what direction the market is trending on higher timeframes. This means you can trade with a higher timeframe trend without having to change your screen. You also don’t have to put lots of effort into adding more confirmations if you miss a signal you can use your own strategy and the confirmations from this table to create your own trade ideas.
Stop Loss Indicators
Stop losses are always a topic of conversation when it comes to trading, do you place your stop loss below the previous low? Previous candle? Below a moving average? There’s so much confusion when it comes to where to put your stop loss so we added 2 different stop loss features which you can decide between. We are always optimising our stop loss settings with the current market conditions so that you can take less losing trades and focus more on winners!
Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,
// Terms \\
Feel free to use the script, If you do use the script could you please just tag me as I am interested to see how people are using it. Good Luck!
Accumulation_&_Distribution_Aka_ConsolidationZone - BasicDear Traders,
It so happens to the traders that once in their lifetime journey they be sure to here the below statement.
1. I got struck in the consolidation zone
2. Signals from technical indicators failed because prices were consolidating.
3. Its pretty tuff to detect consolidation zone. (programmatically)
I don't know about other but I have heard this throughout my trading journey. Hence I started to debug the above 3 statements and came up with this indicator which detects consolidation zones in the chart.
there are 3 inputs settings
1. ATR multiplier = can be used to filter the consolidation box height. higher the value bigger the box (vertical view) and smaller the value smaller the box height.
2. Show Last No of Zones = set the No of previous zones you would like to see.
3. Consolidation Size = If set to small. all kind of sizes will be plotted ( majorly works for day trading) if set to wide, script looks for major consolidation zones (majorly works for higher timeframes). if set to medium, script looks medium size to wide size zones majorly for timeframe with more than 30 min.
What's this indicator is taking into account?
1. Moving Averages
2. Linear Regression curves
3. ATR
4. BB
5. BBW
6. Couple of Math calculation to support the zone identification.
Note: Plz do suggest for any kind of improvements or feedbacks.

Consolidation Zone Hunter NPR BasedThis script will search for zones where the range between the high and low is lower than avg % nearest rank of last X bars.
After X(=30) bars of consolidating range it will signal that the market is in a range and draw the top, bottom and middle of that range.
When price breaks the consolidating range the range is cleared, this is where you long/short the breakout. After this it will look for the next range and do the same.
Visual Explanation
Ex's DMI DivergenceThis indicator I am posting open for everyone to see and use.
This is a modified DMI indicator, It has a DMI+ and DMI- and a 3rd line that is the average divergance/convergance of the two.
This indicator is used to recognize periods of consolidation, directional strength and retracements/reversal
There are some key things to watch for:
-When the Div/Conv line is yellow it means that the DMI+/- average distance is moving closer together(converging)
-When the Div/Conv line is aqua it means that the DMI+/- average distance is moving further apart(diverging)
-One DMI must be below the top threshold and other DMI must be below at least the Top threshold(or bottom if you prefer) to be considered valid
Signs of condolidation/possible reversal/weak strength:
-When the DMI+/- are crossing at any location stay mindful of entries
-If both DMI's are above the threshold there is no clear direction
-When the DMI Div/Conv is yellow it means trend is slowing down and aqua means it is picking up
Price Action: Inside Bar BoxesThis script automatically draws rectangles around bars inside IB pattern.
Note :: because Pinescript does not allow changes to already drawn charts on historical bars, checkbox "show only last box" doesn't work for arrows
Three Week Tight Pattern IndicatorThree Week Tight Pattern is a consolidation indicator which give extra buy point on strong fundamental stocks. You can read about it from IBD here: www.investors.com
