Inputs:
• # of Candles to analyze (default = 20)
Pivot trend indicatorThis is a LAGGING indicator which can provide a good indication of trend. It require a certain (configurable) number of candles to have closed before it can determine whether a pivot has formed.
It provides a 20 period SMA for the timeframe of your choice which is color coded to show the trend according to confirmed pivots.
Anticipated usage:
Long / Short bias is determined by pivot trend
Trader seeks entries according to their strategy
Black consolidation areas may trigger a re-evaluation of the trade and can serve as good profit taking areas
The SMA colors:
Green -> Higher highs & Higher lows
Red -> Lower highs & Lowers lows
Black -> No clear trend from the pivots
Why the 20 SMA?
Feel free to adjust it for your purposes. I personally find that using a higher time frame 20 SMA is a better indication of trend than longer period MAs on shorter time frames. This can be seen from comparing the 20 daily SMA and 200 hourly SMA.
Pivot adjustment
The pivots use the selected time frame (not) the MA trend time frame. You can specify the left and right candles required to confirm a pivot
VIX reversion-Buschi
English:
A significant intraday reversion (commonly used: 3 points) on a high (over 20 points) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) can be a sign of a market bottom, because there is the assumption that some of the "big guys" liquidated their options / insurances because the worst is over.
This indicator shows these reversions (3 points as default) when the VIX was over 20 points. The character "R" is then shown directly over the daily column, the VIX need not to be loaded explicitly.
Deutsch:
Eine deutliche Intraday-Umkehr (3 Punkte im Normalfall) bei einem hohen (über 20 Punkte) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) kann ein Zeichen für eine Bodenbildung im Markt sein, weil möglicherweise einige "große Jungs" ihre Optionen / Versicherungen auflösen, weil das schlimmste vorbei ist.
Dieser Indikator zeigt diese Umkehr (Standardwert: 3 Punkte), wenn der VIX vorher über 20 Punkte lag. Der Buchstabe "R" wird dabei direkt über dem Tagesbalken angezeigt, wobei der VIX nicht explizit geladen werden muss.
Triple Moving Average HeatmapHi everyone
I didn't publish on Friday because I was working on an Expert Advisor in MT4. The day I don't publish, some scripts spamming guys published many (not useful) scripts the same to kick me out of the TOP #1 ranking.
So what I'm going to do about it? crying or sharing more quality scripts than before? :)
I guess you know the answer :) I'm gonna share a few quality scripts that I have in my library. I noticed that you guys tend to like more the scripts useful for your trading actually making you money rather than a copy-paste (of another copy-paste)
Alright, enough for the trolling now let's introduce the Three MA heatmap which is an upgrade of that script : MA-heatmap-Double-cross-edition/
The challenge was to keep the heatmap not rolling and to make it match with the MA cross. I did it using this
```
since_ma_buy = barssince(macrossover)
since_ma_sell = barssince(macrossunder)
heatmap_color() =>
since_ma_buy < since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.green, 20) : since_ma_buy > since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
This is a technique that I found after drinking three glasses of red wine (#french) to keep the heatmap stable and not rolling.
To get what I'm saying I invite you to replace the piece of code above by what everyone would normally do
```
heatmap_color() =>
macrossunder() ? color.new(color.green, 20) : macrossover() ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
Ah and I'm not done sharing for the day, a few scripts are coming also after that one and tonight !!!!! I want to live in a world where you guys can enjoy quality scripts (mostly) :)
PS

The 6 Line Death PunchIf you are looking to discover what trend you are in, you need to first what direction the price is going in...
I've been using and testing a mixture of EMA's and SMA's for a long time and I've found that these ones are by far the best.
EMA 3
EMA 8
MA 20
EMA 55
MA 100
MA 200
EMA 3 & 8 Crossover is a good method for confirming a coin going to the upside or to the downside.
EMA 8 is known as the Trigger Line (trademarked brand) as one of the fib numbers it shows good support or resistance of a trend.
MA 20 universal way of seeing trend direction in the stock market, works well with crypto too.
EMA 55, another trusty fib number. Works very well and could trade off that alone as support and resistance.
MA 100 and MA 200. Long ranged moving averages which govern the overall longer-term trend.
LONG ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles above EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles above MA 20
Option 4 - Candles Above EMA 55.
SHORT ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles below EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles below MA 20
Option 4 - Candles below EMA 55.

MG - Multiple Moving Averages & Candle Wick Alerts - 1.0Features:
- Each moving average has customizable length, type and source
- The ability to change the source of all moving averages with one input (changing an individual MA source will override the general for that MA)
- At a glance comparison of 20 SMA and 20 VWMA to gauge volume trend
- Wick alerts which can be toggled for each moving average.
- Bullish wick alerts are when the wick is the only part of the candle to drop below the moving average
- Bearish wick alerts are when the wick is the only part of the candle to reach above the moving average
- Simple candle closed alert if you want a notification, for example each hour.
Defaults: Four SMAs (20, 50, 100, 200) and a 20 VWMA .
Recommended Usage:
- Set the general source (sets the source of all moving averages) to 'low' when in an uptrend and 'high' in a downtrend to maximize Risk : Reward.
- Use Fibonacci levels, oscillators .etc for confluence
NOTE: The moving average component of this indicator is the same as the previous indicator ()

- Personally, I like to set overall source to low in uptrends, to high in downtrends and then set alerts for when the price crosses any of the averages. Then pay particular attention to the candlesticks and other indicators.
TODO:
- Add alerts option so that it send alert on crossing up or down any alert lines.
XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):

Trinity CCI Pro PlusWhat It Is
Trinity CCI Pro Plus is an innovative overlay indicator that reimagines the classic Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by plotting its levels directly on the price chart. No more separate oscillator panel—instead, you get dynamic price-based bands and lines for instant momentum insights.
What You See on the Chart
Orange line: The CCI zero line (20-period SMA of typical price, hlc3)—acts as the baseline.
Aqua line: Dynamic upper band at CCI = +100 (overbought threshold).
Purple line: Dynamic lower band at CCI = -100 (oversold threshold).
Optional thick purple line: The extra SMA of CCI (14-period smooth) scaled back to price—serves as a signal line for crossovers.
Optional outer zones: ±200 bands (aqua/purple extensions) for extreme momentum levels, often added as dotted or filled areas to spot blow-off tops/bottoms.
Key Differences from Regular CCI
Standard CCI lives in a lower pane with fixed horizontal lines at +100, 0, and -100, forcing you to split your focus. This version overlays everything on price: the bands curve with market volatility, the zero line becomes a moving average, and the extra SMA/signal line integrates seamlessly for price-action trading. Plus, it naturally supports outer ±200 zones without extra coding, making extremes visually pop.
How Traders Use It
Momentum breakouts: Buy when price closes above the +100 aqua band (or +200 for aggressive entries); sell below -100 purple (or -200).
Mean reversion: Fade touches on the bands—take profits if price rejects the +100/-100 levels, or watch for exhaustion at ±200.
Trend bias: Price above orange zero = bullish filter; below = bearish. Use the extra SMA for confirmation (e.g., price crossing above it signals upside).
Crossover signals: Price vs. the thick purple SMA line—bullish above, bearish below—pairs perfectly with band breaks.
Range trading: Treat ±100 bands as dynamic support/resistance; outer ±200 zones highlight potential breakout setups.
This setup shines in trending markets (e.g., stocks or forex on 1H/daily charts), turning CCI into a one-glance channel system. Start with the defaults, add the ±200 and extra SMA via simple code tweaks, and backtest for your style—it's versatile and reduces screen clutter dramatically.
More Info
The 20 period MA is the original and still the most common setting for CCI, and it is exactly what the creator of the CCI, Donald Lambert, published it in 1980 with these exact parameters:
Length: 20 periods
Constant: 0.015 (to make CCI fall between +100 and –100 about 70–80 % of the time)
Typical Price: hlc3 (or sometimes (high + low + close)/3)
Deviation measure: Mean Deviation (not standard deviation)
So the “Trinity CCI Pro Plus” you are using is 100 % faithful to Lambert’s original design when the length is set to 20.

📊 MARKET ANALYSIS & TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Support & Resistance Trading
POC as Key Level:
- Price tends to return to POC (magnetic effect)
- Strategy :
- When price is above POC → Look for pullbacks to POC for long entries
- When price is below POC → Look for rallies to POC for short entries
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
Value Area Trading:
- Inside Value Area (between VAH & VAL):
- Market is in balance/equilibrium
- Range-bound trading strategies
- Look for mean reversion
- Outside Value Area :
- Price accepted above VAH = Bullish breakout
- Price accepted below VAL = Bearish breakdown
- Trend-following strategies
Example Setup:
Price above VAH + Strong buying delta = Bullish trend
→ Wait for pullback to VAH
→ Enter long with stop below VAH
→ Target: Next HVN or previous session high
2. Volume Node Trading
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Characteristics : Strong support/resistance, consolidation zones
- Trading Strategy :
- Price approaching HVN from above → Potential support
- Price approaching HVN from below → Potential resistance
- Breakout from HVN → Strong momentum move
- Setup : Place limit orders at HVN boundaries
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Characteristics : Low liquidity, fast price movement
- Trading Strategy :
- Price in LVN = Don't chase, wait for next HVN
- LVN breakout = Rapid moves, use wider stops
- Price rejection from LVN = Quick return to HVN
- Setup : Avoid placing stops in LVN zones
Example:
Price consolidating at HVN (yellow) near $50,000
→ Breakout above with volume
→ Fast move through LVN (orange) gap
→ Next target: Upper HVN at $51,500
3. Delta Analysis for Entry Timing
Strong Buying Delta (Green zones):
- Δ > +20% = Buyers in control
- Bullish Signal : Accumulation zone
- Strategy : Look for long entries on pullbacks
- Confirmation : Rising price + positive delta
Strong Selling Delta (Red zones):
- Δ < -20% = Sellers in control
- Bearish Signal : Distribution zone
- Strategy : Look for short entries on rallies
- Confirmation : Falling price + negative delta
Delta Divergence (Advanced):
- Bullish Divergence : Price making lower lows, but delta improving (less negative)
- Indicates selling pressure weakening
- Potential reversal signal
- Bearish Divergence : Price making higher highs, but delta weakening (less positive)
- Indicates buying pressure exhausting
- Potential reversal signal
4. Imbalance Zone Trading
Buy Imbalance (Bright Green):
- 70%+ buying pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of buyers
- Smart money distribution
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bearish candles, resistance)
- Take profits on long positions
- Consider short entries with confirmation
Sell Imbalance (Bright Red):
- 70%+ selling pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of sellers
- Smart money accumulation
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bullish candles, support)
- Take profits on short positions
- Consider long entries with confirmation
Example:
```
Price at VAH with 80% sell imbalance
→ Selling exhaustion likely
→ Wait for bullish reversal candle
→ Enter long with stop below VAL
```
5. Multi-Session Analysis
When "Separate Profiles Per Session" is enabled:
Session-Specific Levels:
- Each session creates its own POC and value area
- Compare sessions to identify:
- Where institutions accumulated/distributed
- Which levels each session respected
- Unfinished business from previous sessions
Trading Strategies:
A. Session POC Confluence
London POC: $49,500
NY POC: $49,550
→ Strong support zone at $49,500-$49,550
→ High probability long setup on pullback
B. Value Area Overlap
London VAH: $50,000
NY VAL: $49,800
→ Overlap creates strong consolidation zone
→ Breakout strategy: Enter on break above $50,000
C. Unfinished Business
London session rejected $51,000 (sell imbalance)
NY session hasn't tested this level yet
→ Watch for NY session to revisit $51,000
→ Potential reversal zone
D. Session Handoff
Tokyo session: Sideways, low volume
London session: Strong buying delta, break above VAH
NY session: Continuation or reversal?
→ Monitor NY open for direction confirmation
6. Market Profile Analysis
Profile Shape Interpretation:
A. P-Shape (Peak at Top)
- High volume at top of range
- Interpretation : Distribution, potential reversal down
- Strategy : Look for shorts at resistance
B. b-Shape (Peak at Bottom)
- High volume at bottom of range
- Interpretation : Accumulation, potential reversal up
- Strategy : Look for longs at support
C. D-Shape (Peak in Middle)
- Balanced profile, POC in center
- Interpretation : Equilibrium, neutral market
- Strategy : Range trading between VAH/VAL
D. Thin Profile (LVN Gap)
- Low volume throughout
- Interpretation : Trending market, little acceptance
- Strategy : Trend following, avoid counter-trend trades

- Stop loss: $49,700 (below breakout level + buffer)
- Target 1: $50,500 (next HVN from previous day)
- Target 2: $51,000 (measured move)
Management:
- Enter 50% position on breakout
- Add remaining 50% on successful retest

🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING & OPTIMIZATION
If profiles look too compressed:
- Increase "Bins" to 40-50
- Reduce "LookBack" period
- Adjust "Horizontal Offset"
If too cluttered:
- Disable "Delta Labels"
- Disable "Volume Bars"
- Keep only POC and Value Area
- Use "Session Background Overlay" instead of separate profiles
For scalping (1-5 min):
- LookBack: 300-500 bars
- Bins: 20-30
- Enable separate session profiles
- Focus on imbalance zones
For swing trading (1H-4H):
- LookBack: 100-200 bars
- Bins: 25-35
- Focus on VAH/VAL and HVN
- Disable session features
For position trading (Daily):
- LookBack: 50-100 bars
- Bins: 30-40
- Focus on weekly/monthly POC
- Compare with previous week profiles
---
📚 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
1. Composite Profiles
- Build profiles across multiple days
- Increase LookBack to 500+ bars on 15-min chart

3. Failed Auctions
- Price briefly leaves value area but quickly returns
- Failed auction high : Bearish signal
- Failed auction low : Bullish signal
- Indicates rejection of new price levels
4. Overnight Inventory
- Compare previous day's close to value area
- Close above VAH : Bullish bias for next day
- Close below VAL : Bearish bias for next day
- Close in value area : Neutral, range expected
5. Volume Delta Momentum
- Track cumulative delta across time
- Rising cumulative delta + rising price : Strong trend
- Falling cumulative delta + rising price : Weak/topping
- Rising cumulative delta + falling price : Potential reversal

📊 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER INDICATORS
Complementary Indicators:
1. Moving Averages (20/50/200 EMA)
- Use with POC and VAH/VAL
- Confluence with EMAs = stronger levels
2. RSI/Stochastic
- Overbought at resistance (VAH/HVN) = strong short
- Oversold at support (VAL/HVN) = strong long
3. VWAP
- POC often aligns with VWAP
- Deviation from VWAP + Volume Profile = trade setup
4. Order Flow/Footprint Charts
- Confirm delta analysis
- Detailed buyer/seller pressure
5. Market Profile (TPO)
- Similar concept, different visualization
- Use together for complete picture
Example Multi-Indicator Setup:
Price at VAL ✓
+ 200 EMA support ✓
+ RSI oversold (30) ✓
+ Positive delta zone ✓
+ Bullish engulfing candle ✓
= High probability long entry

💡 PRO TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. COMBINE WITH MINERVINI INDICATOR
Use BOTH indicators together:
✓ VCP Detector = Base quality
✓ Minervini = Trend + RS + Volume
Result = Best high-probability setups
2. PREFER ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ QUALITY BASES
Don't trade ⭐⭐ or ⭐ quality bases
Only trade ⭐⭐⭐+ (ideally ⭐⭐⭐⭐+)
Higher quality = Higher win rate
3. WAIT FOR VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Base must show "Vol Dry: YES"
Breakout must have 1.3x+ volume
Low volume breakouts fail often
4. USE 1D TIMEFRAME ONLY
This indicator optimized for daily charts
Intraday = Too many false signals
Weekly = Misses good setups
5. MONITOR MULTIPLE BASES (VCP PATTERN)
Multiple bases getting tighter = VCP pattern
Each base should be better quality than last
Tightest base = Biggest breakout
6. COMBINE WITH 52W CONTEXT
Dashboard shows "From 52W Hi" and "From 52W Lo"
Price should be in sweet zone:
< 25% from 52W high (uptrend territory)
> 30% above 52W low (not oversold)
7. BACKTEST FIRST
Use TradingView Replay
Go back 6-12 months
See how many bases appeared
See which were profitable
❌ BASES TO SKIP (Lower Probability)
Skip if:
❌ Quality rating < ⭐⭐⭐ (only 1-2 stars)
❌ Tightness > 1.5% (too loose)
❌ Duration < 10 days (too short, weak)
❌ Duration > 50 days (too long, may break down)
❌ Vol Dry: NO (volume not contracting)
❌ Range > 10% (not tight consolidation)
❌ Price < 30% from 52W low (too weak)
❌ Price > 30% from 52W high (too far up, late entry)
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
✓ This indicator is for educational purposes only
✓ Past performance does not guarantee future results
✓ Always use proper risk management (position sizing, stop loss)
✓ Never risk more than 2% of your account on one trade
✓ Base detection is technical analysis, not investment advice
✓ Losses can occur - trade at your own risk
✓ Combine with other indicators for best results

Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿
A Multi-Layer Market Structure Engine for Professional Price Analysis
Support & Resistance Pro is a next-generation price structure algorithm designed to identify the most meaningful support and resistance levels across any market or timeframe.
Instead of relying on simple fractals, random pivots, or fixed-distance lines, this script analyzes the way price interacts with historical levels — including wick reactions, close rejections, structural pivots, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
The result is a clean, intelligent, and highly accurate market structure map that adapts to every style of trading.
🚀 Key Features
1. Multi-Layer S/R Engine (Up to 20 Dynamic Levels)
The algorithm computes and ranks up to 20 unique levels , from strongest to weakest.
Each level is scored using:
Structural pivot strength
Number of historical touches
Closeness of each interaction
Market memory & reaction weight
Breakout and retest behavior
This produces an objective hierarchy of price levels — ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing analysis.
2. Smart Strength Filter
To remove noise, the Smart Strength Filter evaluates how often price has interacted with each level and hides the ones that lack significance.
You can customize:
Lookback range
Minimum touch count
Touch tolerance sensitivity
This ensures your chart displays only the most relevant and reliable structural zones for the current environment.
3. Heat Map Intensity Coloring
Levels automatically change opacity based on their strength:
More touches → stronger color
Fewer touches → lighter color
This creates a natural visual heat map that highlights where market memory is strongest — perfect for identifying high-probability breakout or reversal zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
Project higher timeframe S/R onto lower timeframe charts to enhance confluence:
Day traders: render 4H levels on 5m–15m
Swing traders: render 1D levels on 1H
Scalpers: render 1H levels on 1m–3m
This gives you powerful structural awareness without switching charts.
5. Clean Visual Design
Every element has been designed to stay out of your way:
Choose your preferred level count (8–20)
Adjustable line thickness
Label sizing and offset controls
Optional price tags
Light or dark color-friendly styling
The visual layout is clean, modern, and tailored for long chart sessions.
6. Profile Presets for Every Trader
Four built-in trading profiles are included:
Scalp Mode
Reactive levels
Tight tolerance
Best for 1m–5m
Day Trade Mode
Balanced structure
Ideal for 5m–1H
Swing Mode
Broad pivots
Higher significance
Perfect for 4H–1D
Custom Mode
Full control over every parameter.
🎯 How Traders Use This
Identify major reversal zones
Find liquidity pockets before they form
Improve breakout accuracy
Locate fair-value areas for entries
Combine HTF structure with LTF setups
Simplify noise-heavy charts
Whether you’re looking for scalping precision or long-term structure, the indicator adapts instantly.

Minervini VCP Pattern -Indian ContextThis script implements Mark Minervini's Trend Template and VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) pattern, specifically adapted for Indian stock markets (NSE). It helps identify stocks that are in strong uptrends and ready to break out.
Core Concepts Explained
1. What is the Minervini Trend Template?
Mark Minervini's method identifies stocks in Stage 2 uptrends - the sweet spot where institutional money is accumulating and stocks show the strongest momentum. Think of it as finding stocks that are "leaders" rather than "laggards."
2. What is VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)?
A VCP occurs when:
Stock price consolidates (moves sideways) after an uptrend
Price swings get tighter and tighter (like a coiled spring)
Volume dries up (fewer people trading)
Then it breaks out with force.
You can customize the strategy settings without editing code.
Key Settings:
Minimum Price (₹50): Filters out penny stocks that are too volatile
Min Distance from 52W Low (30%): Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low
Max Distance from 52W High (25%): Stock should be within 25% of its yearly high (showing strength)
Moving Average Periods: 10, 50, 150, 200 days (industry standard)
Minimum Volume (100,000 shares): Ensures the stock is liquid enough to trade
Indian Market Adaptation: The default values (₹50 minimum, volume thresholds) are adjusted for NSE stocks, which behave differently than US markets.
The script pulls weekly chart data even when you're viewing daily charts.
Why it matters: Weekly trends are more reliable than daily noise. Professional traders use weekly charts to confirm the bigger picture.
What are Moving Averages (MAs)?
Simple averages of closing prices over X days
They smooth out price action to show trends
Think of them as the "average cost" of buyers over different time periods
The 4 Key MAs:
10 MA (Fast): Very short-term trend
50 MA: Short to medium-term trend
150 MA: Medium to long-term trend
200 MA: Long-term trend (the "grandfather" of all MAs)
Why Weekly MAs?
The script also calculates 10 and 50 MAs on weekly data for additional confirmation of the bigger trend.
The script Finds the highest and lowest prices over the past 52 weeks (1 year).
Why it matters:
Stocks near 52-week highs are showing strength (institutions buying)
Stocks far from 52-week lows have "room to run" upward
This is a psychological level that influences trader behaviour.
What is Volume here ?
The number of shares traded each day
High volume = many traders interested (conviction)
Low volume = lack of interest (weakness or consolidation)
Volume in VCP:
During consolidation (sideways movement), volume should dry up - this shows sellers are exhausted and buyers are holding. When volume spikes on a breakout, it confirms the move.
NSE Context: Indian stocks often have different volume patterns than US stocks, so the 50-day average is used as a baseline.
Relative Strength vs Nifty:
Example:
If your stock is up 20% and Nifty is up 10%, your stock has strong RS
If your stock is up 5% and Nifty is up 15%, your stock has weak RS (avoid it!)
Why it matters: The best performing stocks almost always have strong relative strength before major moves.
The 13 Minervini Conditions:-
Condition 1: Price > 50/150/200 MA
Meaning: Current price must be above ALL three major moving averages.
Why: This confirms the stock is in a clear uptrend. If price is below these MAs, the stock is weak or in a downtrend.
Condition 2: MA 50 > 150 > 200
Meaning: The moving averages themselves must be in proper order.
Analogy: Think of this like layers in a cake - short-term on top, long-term at bottom. If they're tangled, the trend is unclear.
Condition 3: 200 MA Rising (1 Month)
Meaning: The 200 MA today must be higher than it was 20 days ago.
Why: This confirms the long-term trend is UP, not flat or down. The means "20 bars ago."
Condition 4: 50 MA Rising
Meaning: The 50 MA today must be higher than 5 days ago.
Why: Confirms short-term momentum is accelerating upward.
Condition 5: Within 25% of 52-Week High
Meaning: Current price should be within 25% of its 1-year high.
Example:
52-week high = ₹1000
Current price must be above ₹750 (within 25%)
Why: Strong stocks stay near their highs. Weak stocks fall far from highs.
Condition 6: 30%+ Above 52-Week Low (OPTIONAL)
Meaning: Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low.
Note: The script marks this as "SECONDARY - Optional" because the other conditions are more important. However, it's still a good confirmation.
Condition 7: Price > 10 MA
Meaning: Very short-term strength - price above the 10-day moving average.
Why: Ensures the stock hasn't just rolled over in the immediate term.
Condition 8: Price >= ₹50
Meaning: Filters out stocks below ₹50.
Why: In Indian markets, stocks below ₹50 tend to be penny stocks with poor liquidity and higher manipulation risk.
Condition 9: Weekly Uptrend
Meaning: On the weekly chart, price must be above both weekly MAs, and they must be properly aligned.
Why: Confirms the bigger picture trend, not just daily fluctuations.
Condition 10: 150 MA Rising
Meaning: The 150 MA is trending upward over the past 10 days.
Why: Another confirmation of medium-term trend health.
Condition 11: Sufficient Volume
Meaning: Average volume must exceed 100,000 shares (or your custom setting).
Why: Ensures you can actually buy/sell the stock without moving the price too much (liquidity).
Condition 12: RS vs Nifty Strong
Meaning: The stock's relative strength vs Nifty must be improving.
Why: You want stocks that are outperforming the market, not underperforming.
Condition 13: Nifty in Uptrend
Meaning: The Nifty 50 index itself must be above its 50 MA.
Why: "A rising tide lifts all boats." It's easier to make money in individual stocks when the overall market is bullish.
VCP Requirements:
Volatility Contracting: Price swings getting tighter (coiling spring)
Volume Drying Up: Fewer shares trading + trending lower
The Setup: When volatility contracts and volume dries up WHILE all 13 trend conditions are met, you have a VCP setup ready to explode.
What You See on Chart:
Colored Lines: 10 MA (green), 50 MA (blue), 150 MA (orange), 200 MA (red)
Blue Background: Trend template conditions met (watch zone)
Green Background: Full VCP setup detected (buy zone)
↟ Symbol Below Price: New VCP buy signal just triggered
Information Table:
What it does: Creates a checklist table on your chart showing the status of all conditions.
Table Structure:
Column 1: Condition name
Column 2: Status (✓ green = met, ✗ red = not met)
Final Row: Shows "BUY" (green) or "WAIT" (red) based on full VCP setup status.
Dos:
Example:
Account size: ₹5,00,000
Risk per trade: 1% = ₹5,000
Entry: ₹1000
Stop loss: ₹920 (8% below)
Distance to stop: ₹80
Shares to buy: ₹5,000 / ₹80 = 62 shares
Exit Strategy:
Sell 1/3 at +20% profit
Sell another 1/3 at +40% profit
Let the final 1/3 run with a trailing stop
Always exit if price closes below 10 MA on heavy volume
What This Script Does NOT Do:
Guarantee profits - No strategy works 100% of the time
Account for news events - Earnings, regulatory changes, etc.
Consider fundamentals - Company financials, debt, management quality
Adapt to market crashes - Works best in bull markets
Best Market Conditions:
✅ Nifty in uptrend (above 50 MA)
✅ Market breadth positive (more stocks advancing)
✅ Sector rotation happening
❌ Avoid in bear markets or high volatility periods

DarkPool's Gann High Low Activator DarkPool's Gann High-Low Activator.
It enhances the traditional trend-following logic by integrating Heikin Ashi smoothing, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis, and volatility filtering. It is designed to filter out market noise and provide clearer trend signals during volatile conditions.
Underlying Concepts
Heikin Ashi Smoothing: Standard price candles can produce erratic signals due to wicks and short-term volatility. This script includes a "Calculation Mode" setting that allows the Gann logic to run on Heikin Ashi average prices. This smoothes out price data, helping traders stay in trends longer by ignoring temporary pullbacks.
Gann High-Low Logic: The core algorithm tracks the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of Highs and Lows over a user-defined period.
Bullish Trend: Price closes above the trailing SMA of Highs.
Bearish Trend: Price closes below the trailing SMA of Lows.
Volatility & Trend Filtering: To reduce false signals during sideways markets, this tool employs two filters:
ADX Filter (Choppiness): Uses the Average Directional Index to detect low-volatility environments. If the ADX is below the defined threshold (default 20), the indicator identifies the market as "choppy" and suppresses signals to preserve capital.
EMA Filter (Baseline): An optional Exponential Moving Average filter ensures trades are only taken in the direction of the longer-term trend (e.g., Longs only above the 200 EMA).
Features
Dual Calculation Modes: Switch between Standard price logic and Heikin Ashi smoothing logic.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Calculate the trend based on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-Hour) while viewing a lower timeframe chart (e.g., 15-Minute).
Automated JSON Alerts: Generates machine-readable JSON alert payloads compatible with external trading bots and webhooks.
Live Dashboard: A data table displaying the current Trend State, Calculation Mode, ADX Value, and risk percentage.
How to Use
Buy Signal: Generated when the trend flips Bullish, provided the ADX indicates sufficient momentum and the price satisfies the EMA filter (if enabled).
Sell Signal: Generated when the trend flips Bearish, subject to the same momentum and trend filters.
Neutral State (Gray Cloud): When the cloud fill turns gray, the market is in consolidation. It is recommended to avoid entering new positions during this state.
Trailing Stop: The Gann Line serves as a dynamic trailing stop-loss level. A close beyond this line invalidates the current trend.
Settings Configuration
Calculation Mode: Select "Standard" for raw price action or "Heikin Ashi" for smoothed trend following.
Gann Length: Lower values (3-5) are suitable for short-term scalping; higher values (10+) are better for swing trading.
MTF Mode: Enable to lock the calculation to a specific higher timeframe.
ADX Threshold: Adjust based on asset volatility. Recommended: 20-25 for Crypto, 15-20 for Forex/Indices.

Student Wyckoff Target Shooter
**Target Shooter — Equal Move Target Tool (Larry Williams idea)**
**1. What this indicator does**
Target Shooter is a tool that measures the last meaningful price swing and projects an **equal move target** in the direction of the breakout.
The logic is simple:
* The market makes a move from point A to point B (a swing high to a swing low, or vice versa).
* Then price breaks out above or below this swing range.
* Target Shooter takes the size of that swing and **adds it in the direction of the breakout**, showing a logical **price target zone** where the move may:
* slow down,
* react,
* or potentially reverse.
This is a practical implementation of the “Equal Moves” idea often referenced by Larry Williams.
---
**2. Core idea (example)**
Example from the classic explanation:
* Price drops from **80 down to 20** → the move is **60 points**.
* The swing range is now: **High = 80, Low = 20**.
* Later, price **breaks above 80**.
Target Shooter assumes:
> “If the market could move 60 points in one direction, after a breakout it may travel another 60 points in the opposite direction.”
So the upside target becomes:
* Move size: 80 − 20 = 60
* Breakout above 80
* **Target = 80 + 60 = 140**
The indicator finds such swings automatically and draws:
* **UT (Upper Target)** on upside breakouts
* **DT (Down Target)** on downside breakouts
---
**3. What you see on the chart**
1. **Target lines**
* When price breaks **above** a previous swing range, the indicator plots a horizontal **UT (Upper Target)** line — the projected equal move target.
* When price breaks **below** the previous swing range, it plots a **DT (Down Target)** line — the downside target.
* Each line is drawn from the breakout bar and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars.
2. **Price labels**
* A small label “UT” or “DT” is shown at the end of the line with the exact target price.
* This makes it easy to see where the projected target is without checking the scale.
3. **Optional swing range (debug view)**
* There is an option to display the **swing range** that the target is based on (similar to a Donchian channel on previous bars).
* This shows the upper (swing high) and lower (swing low) boundaries the indicator used to define the last move.
---
**4. Key inputs (plain language)**
* **Swing window length (bars)**
How many bars back the indicator looks to find the last meaningful swing (highest high and lowest low).
This is like the length of a Donchian channel used to define the previous range.
Smaller values → more frequent, shorter targets.
Larger values → bigger swings and more distant targets.
* **Minimum move size (in ticks)**
This is a noise filter.
If the distance between the swing high and swing low is smaller than this threshold, no targets are drawn.
The indicator will only react to moves that are big enough to matter for your trading.
* **Breakout type: Close vs High/Low**
* **Breakout by Close**:
The target appears only when the **bar closes** above/below the swing range.
More conservative and fewer false signals.
* **Breakout by High/Low**:
The target appears as soon as the **high** or **low** of the bar breaks the swing range.
Faster and more aggressive, but more sensitive to noise.
* **Target line length (bars)**
How far to the right the UT/DT lines should be extended.
Shorter length → local target zones.
Longer length → important levels visible far into the future.
* **Appearance settings**
* Separate color, width and style for **UT** and **DT** lines.
* Option to show or hide labels with price and “UT/DT” text.
---
**5. How to use Target Shooter in trading**
> Important: this is **not** an entry signal indicator.
> Target Shooter is a **targeting and context tool**, not a standalone system.
Typical uses:
1. **Planning take-profit zones**
* You already have an entry signal from your own strategy (Wyckoff, Larry Williams patterns, levels, volume, whatever you use).
* Target Shooter shows a **logical equal move target** where the current wave can reasonably “shoot”.
* You can:
* place your main take-profit around the target,
* scale out part of the position,
* tighten stops when price approaches the target.
2. **Finding potential reaction / reversal areas**
* Equal move targets often act as **zones of interest**.
* If price reaches a UT/DT level and then shows weakness/absorption/volume spikes or reversal candles, this might be a good place to take profits or look for counter-trend opportunities (for experienced traders).
3. **Assessing trend strength**
* If price **easily exceeds** the equal move target and keeps going without any reaction, it suggests a very strong trend.
* If price **fails to reach** the target and reverses early, the move is weaker than expected.
---
**6. Timeframes**
Target Shooter can be used on:
* **Intraday** (M5, M15, M30, H1) — for shorter-term targets within the day,
* **Higher timeframes** (H4, D1 and above) — for swing and position trades.
General rule:
The **higher the timeframe and the larger the swing**, the **more important** the target level tends to be.
---
**7. Notes and limitations**
* The indicator does **not** predict the future.
It simply projects a geometric equal move from the last swing.
* It should be combined with your own trading framework:
* support/resistance,
* Wyckoff / VSA,
* trend tools,
* volume/flow, etc.
* Always keep proper risk management.
A target is a **scenario**, not a guarantee.
