pine script tradingbot - many ema oscillator## 🧭 **Many EMA Oscillator (TradingView Pine Script Indicator)**
*A multi-layer EMA differential oscillator for trend strength and momentum analysis*
---
### 🧩 **Overview**
The **Many EMA Oscillator** is a **TradingView Pine Script indicator** designed to help traders visualize **trend direction**, **momentum strength**, and **multi-timeframe EMA alignment** in one clean oscillator panel.
It’s a **custom EMA-based trend indicator** that shows how fast or slow different **Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)** are expanding or contracting — helping you identify **bullish and bearish momentum shifts** early.
This **Pine Script EMA indicator** is especially useful for traders looking to combine multiple **EMA signals** into one **momentum oscillator** for better clarity and precision.
---
### ⚙️ **How It Works**
1. **Multiple EMA Layers:**
The indicator calculates seven **EMAs** (default: 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300) and applies a **smoothing filter** using another EMA (default smoothing = 20).
This removes short-term noise and gives a smoother, professional-grade momentum reading.
2. **EMA Gap Analysis:**
The oscillator measures the **difference between consecutive EMAs**, revealing how trend layers are separating or converging.
```
diff1 = EMA(20) - EMA(50)
diff2 = EMA(50) - EMA(100)
diff3 = EMA(100) - EMA(150)
diff4 = EMA(150) - EMA(200)
diff5 = EMA(200) - EMA(300)
```
These gaps (or “differentials”) show **trend acceleration or compression**, acting like a **multi-EMA MACD system**.
3. **Color-Coded Visualization:**
Each differential (`diff1`–`diff5`) is plotted as a **histogram**:
- 🟢 **Green bars** → EMAs expanding → bullish momentum growing
- 🔴 **Red bars** → EMAs contracting → bearish momentum or correction
This gives a clean, compact view of **trend strength** without cluttering your chart.
4. **Automatic Momentum Signals:**
- **🟡 Up Triangle** → All EMA gaps increasing → strong bullish trend alignment
- **⚪ Down Triangle** → All EMA gaps decreasing → trend weakening or bearish transition
---
### 📊 **Inputs**
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `smmoth_emas` | 20 | Smoothing factor for all EMAs |
| `Length2`–`Length7` | 20–300 | Adjustable EMA periods |
| `Length21`, `Length31`, `Length41`, `Length51` | Optional | For secondary EMA analysis |
---
### 🧠 **Interpretation Guide**
| Observation | Meaning |
|--------------|----------|
| Increasing green bars | Trend acceleration and bullish continuation |
| Decreasing red bars | Trend exhaustion or sideways consolidation |
| Yellow triangles | All EMA layers aligned bullishly |
| White triangles | All EMA layers aligned bearishly |
This **EMA oscillator for TradingView** simplifies **multi-EMA trading strategies** by showing alignment strength in one place.
It works great for **swing traders**, **scalpers**, and **trend-following systems**.
---
### 🧪 **Best Practices for Use**
- Works on **all TradingView timeframes** (1m, 5m, 1h, 1D, etc.)
- Suitable for **stocks, forex, crypto, and indices**
- Combine with **RSI**, **MACD**, or **price action** confirmation
- Excellent for detecting **EMA compression zones**, **trend continuation**, or **momentum shifts**
- Can be used as part of a **multi-EMA trading strategy** or **trend strength indicator setup**
---
### 💡 **Why It Stands Out**
- 100% built in **Pine Script v6**
- Optimized for **smooth EMA transitions**
- Simple color-coded momentum visualization
- Professional-grade **multi-timeframe trend oscillator**
This is one of the most **lightweight and powerful EMA oscillators** available for TradingView users who prefer clarity over clutter.

Liquidity ToolkitKey Points:
Liquidity Toolkit is your liquidity companion for monitoring and anticipating price action.
Liquidity Toolkit combined the power of the Liquidity Status indicator with the potency of Price Triggers.
Liquidity Status indicates if the current current liquidity environment is bullish or bearish.
Price triggers highlight price levels where supports, resistances, and trend-changes are likely to occur.
Together, they create a comprehensive and actionable view of the market.
Summary
The Liquidity Toolkit (TK) is designed as a one-stop-shop indicator by combining novel liquidity metrics with traditional and impactful price measurements. In combination, TK grants unparalleled views of the market through effective yet simple displays.
The TK indicator contains two separate by synergistic algorithms: the Liquidity Status algorithm, which measures liquidity to determine if outlooks are bearish or bullish; and the Price Triggers algorithm which analyzes price-action to determine points of support and resistances.
Example 1 :
Example 2 :
Example 3 :
Details
Liquidity Status
Liquidity Status (LS) measures liquidity and produces either `Bullish` or `Bearish` indications depending on the current liquidity status.
Bullish indications indicate that the overall flow of liquidity is supportive of bullish price and bearish indications indicate that the overall flow of liquidity is supportive of bearish price action.
LS is displayed in two ways:
Candle-Coloring: if candles are green, liquidity status is bullish and if candles are red, liquidity status is bearish.
Text Display: Bearish and/or Bullish is displayed via text as well.
Price Triggers
Price Triggers (PT) measure price action and report their findings on several timeframes:
1-Minute
5-Minute
60-Minute
1-Day
1-Week
TK graphs the PTs based on the chart interval – only the higher PTs are display (i.e.: On the 1-Hour chart, the 5-, and 1-Min PTs will not be displayed).
Example 4
In additional to showing price-levels of support and resistance, Price Triggers also display the relative strength of these supports and resistances by displaying the Trigger Strengths. These represent areas of influence.
Opportunities often arise when PTs squeeze each other, often forcing spot to make a large move – as can be seen below:
Example 5
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get access to the Liquidity Toolkit?
Please see the Author’s Instructions section at the top of the page for more details and information.
How can I get additional information on the indicators used?
Please see the Author’s Instructions section at the top of the page for more details and information.
I added the Liquidity Toolkit but I do not see all of the PT lines – where are they?
Depending on the chart interval, not all PT lines will be displayed. Those lower than the chart’s timeframe are hidden for clarity.
I added Liquidity Toolkit but the chart’s candles are not being filled by LS.
The chart will try to color over LS’ candles if you do not disable them. To disable, go to the Chart Settings then to Symbol and de-select Body, Borders and Wick.
Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)
- AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures)
- USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures)
- USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures)
- USDCHF → CME:6S1! (Swiss Franc Futures)
- NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures)
**Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):**
- USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures)
- USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures)
- USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures)
- USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures)
**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation
### Visual Signals
**Visual Signals:**
- **Green "BUY" label** - Bullish MACD crossover confirmed by high volume
- **Red "SELL" label** - Bearish MACD crossunder confirmed by high volume
- **Green/Red candles** - Highlight bars with volume exceeding the threshold
- **Light green/red background** - Emphasizes signal bars on the chart
**Information Table:**
A detailed information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane, providing real-time transparency about the indicator's operation:
- **Chart:** Current symbol being analyzed
- **Exchange:** The exchange or data feed being used
- **Pair:** The currency pair or asset name extracted from the ticker
- **Volume From:** The actual symbol used for volume analysis
- Orange color indicates CME or COMEX futures are being used (automatic institutional volume)
- Yellow color indicates native volume from the chart symbol is being used
- Hover tooltip shows whether automatic futures mapping is active
- **High Volume:** Current status showing YES (green) when volume exceeds threshold, NO (gray) otherwise
This table ensures complete transparency and allows you to verify that the correct volume source is being used for your analysis.
**Volume Analysis:**
- Gray histogram bars = Normal volume
- Red histogram bars = High volume (exceeds threshold)
- Green line = Volume moving average baseline
**MACD Analysis:**
- Blue line = MACD line (momentum indicator)
- Orange line = Signal line (trend confirmation)
- Gray dotted line = Zero line (bullish above, bearish below)
### Parameter Customization
**MACD Parameters:**
- Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths for different sensitivities
- Shorter periods = More signals, faster response
- Longer periods = Fewer signals, less noise
**Volume Parameters:**
- **Volume MA Period:** Higher values smooth volume analysis
- **High Volume Ratio:** Lower values (1.5x) = More signals; Higher values (3.0x) = Fewer, stronger signals
- **Volume Lookback Bars:** Controls how recent the volume spike must be
**Direction Filters:**
- **Only Buy Signals:** Enables long-only strategy mode
- **Only Sell Signals:** Enables short-only strategy mode
### Alert Configuration
The indicator includes three alert types:
1. **Buy Signal Alert** - Triggers when bullish signal appears
2. **Sell Signal Alert** - Triggers when bearish signal appears
3. **High Volume Alert** - Triggers when volume exceeds threshold
To set up alerts:
1. Click the indicator name → "Add alert on Smart MACD Volume Trader"
2. Select desired alert condition
3. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

📚 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
▸ WHAT ARE ORDER BLOCKS?
Order Blocks represent zones where "smart money" (institutions, whales) accumulated or distributed positions. When price returns to these zones, there is high probability of reaction due to:
Pending limit orders
Psychological levels
Institutional value zones
▸ VOLUME DELTA VS NORMAL VOLUME
Normal volume shows only QUANTITY of trades.
Volume Delta shows DIRECTION (who is winning the battle):
High volume + Positive delta = Strong accumulation 🚀
High volume + Negative delta = Strong distribution 📉
▸ MARKET REGIME (ADX)
ADX measures TREND STRENGTH:
ADX > 25: Strong trend (best time to trade)
ADX < 20: Sideways/ranging market (avoid trades)

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
EMA CROSSOVER STRATEGY
The Exponential Moving Average crossover is a classical trend-following technique:
• Golden Cross: Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA (bullish signal)
• Death Cross: Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA (bearish signal)
• Widely used since the 1970s in various markets
• More responsive than SMA due to exponential weighting
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
Analyzing multiple timeframes helps traders:
• Identify alignment between short and long-term trends
• Reduce false signals from single-timeframe noise
• Understand market context across different horizons
• Make informed decisions about trade duration
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume confirmation adds reliability:
• High volume suggests institutional participation
• Low volume signals may indicate false breakouts
• Volume precedes price in many market theories
• Helps distinguish genuine moves from noise

Adaptive Pulse Frequency & Amplitude TrendAdaptive Pulse Frequency & Amplitude Trend Indicator
This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify strong bullish or bearish trends by analyzing volume dynamics on a lower timeframe than the one currently displayed on the chart. It operates on the principle of detecting significant spikes in buying or selling pressure, referred to as "pulses," and then evaluating their frequency, strength, and dominance over the opposing market forces.
Core Concepts
Lower Timeframe Volume Analysis: The script requests up-volume and down-volume data from a more granular, lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data when on a 15-minute chart). This provides a higher-resolution view of the flow of buy and sell orders.
Adaptive Pulse Detection: A "pulse" is defined as a bar with an unusually high net volume (up volume minus down volume). Instead of using a fixed value, the indicator calculates an adaptive threshold based on the 90th percentile of net volume over a 100-bar lookback period. Any bar with a net volume exceeding this dynamic threshold is flagged as a pulse, categorized as either bullish (positive net volume) or bearish (negative net volume).
Frequency and Amplitude: The indicator measures two key aspects of these pulses over user-defined lookback periods:
Net Frequency: The number of bullish pulses minus the number of bearish pulses. A positive value indicates more buying pulses, while a negative value indicates more selling pulses.
Net Amplitude : The cumulative volume of bullish pulses minus the cumulative volume of bearish pulses. This measures the overall strength and conviction behind the pulses.
Primary Trend Signal
The indicator's primary signal comes from a strict dominance condition. It doesn't just look for more buying or selling pulses; it checks if these pulses are powerful enough to overwhelm the total opposite pressure in the market.
Bullish Dominance (Green Background): A strong bullish signal is generated when the total volume of all bullish pulses within a lookback period is greater than the total down-volume from all bars (not just pulses) in that same period.
Bearish Dominance (Red Background): A strong bearish signal is generated when the total volume of all bearish pulses is greater than the total up-volume from all bars in that period.
The chart background is colored green for bullish dominance and red for bearish dominance, providing a clear visual cue for when one side has taken decisive control.
Plotted Data
In addition to the background coloring, the indicator plots several lines in its own pane for more detailed analysis:
Net Frequency: Shows the trend in the number of bull vs. bear pulses.
Net Amplitude: Shows the trend in the strength of bull vs. bear pulses.
Bullish/Bearish Amplitude: The individual cumulative volumes for bull and bear pulses.
Dynamic Threshold: The adaptive value used to identify pulses.
By combining an adaptive detection method with a strict dominance condition, this tool aims to filter out market noise and highlight periods of genuinely strong, volume-backed trends.

MTF Advanced DMI [NexusSignals]The MTF Advanced DMI is a multi-timeframe (MTF) enhancement of the classic Directional Movement Index (DMI) and Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator. It provides traders with insights into trend strength, direction, and momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This version of DMI extends the single-timeframe analysis by incorporating two higher timeframes, allowing for better alignment of trends (e.g., confirming a short-term signal with longer-term context). It includes visual plots, a customizable data table showing MTF data, and expanded alert conditions for trend changes, consolidations, and reversals. Ideal for multi-timeframe strategies, trend confirmation, or avoiding false signals in volatile markets.
Key features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Displays DMI/ADX data for the current chart timeframe, plus two user-defined higher timeframes (e.g., 4H and 1D).
A trend strength metric that quantifies bullish/bearish dominance on each timeframe.
A dynamic table summarizing real-time MTF values, with color-coded signals, arrows, and buy/sell pressure percentages.
Visual fills and arrows for intuitive trend reading.
Built-in alerts for key events, including MTF-specific conditions (note: higher TF alerts may repaint due to live candle calculations via request.security).
How It Works
The indicator calculates DMI/ADX on three timeframes: the current chart TF, a mid-higher TF (default: 4H), and a highest TF (default: 1D).
For each:
+DI (Plus Directional Indicator): Upward movement strength.
-DI (Minus Directional Indicator): Downward movement strength.
ADX: Overall trend strength.
Trend Strength: ((+DI - -DI) / (+DI + -DI)) * ADX – positive for bullish, negative for bearish.
Buy/Sell %: Percentage of buyer/seller control in the candle based on HLC.
Plots focus on the current TF:
Strength Histogram: Color-coded (green bullish, red bearish).
ADX Line: White, with direction arrows.
+DI/-DI Lines: Green/red, with fills above 15 for strong trends.
Horizontal lines at 15 (consolidation) and 25 (strong trend).
The table (optional) shows data for the current timeframe candle, previous current timeframe candle, and the two higher TFs (if different from current), enabling quick cross-TF comparisons.
Inputs
General Settings:
DMI Length (default: 14): Period for +DI/-DI.
ADX Smoothing (default: 14): ADX period.
ADX Consolidation Threshold (default: 15): Low ADX suggests sideways.
ADX Stronger Trend Threshold (default: 25): High ADX indicates strong trends.
Higher Timeframe (default: 240/4H): Mid-level TF for MTF analysis.
Highest Timeframe (default: 1D): Top-level TF for broader context.
Threshold for Strong Bullish/Bearish DMI Strength (defaults: 10 / -10): For strength alerts.
Table Settings:
Show Table? (default: true): Toggle table visibility
Table Text Color, Header Color, Text Size (default: small)
Position (default: middle_right): Customize for your chart
Interpretation
Bullish Alignment: +DI > -DI across TFs, rising +DI (↑), Strength > 0 (green), Buy% > Sell%. Stronger if ADX > 25 on higher TFs.
Bearish Alignment: -DI > +DI, rising -DI (↑), Strength < 0 (red), Sell% > Buy%. Confirm with rising ADX on MTF.
Consolidation: +DI/-DI < 20 and ADX ≤ 15 (blue fill). Check if higher TFs show the same for range-bound confirmation.
Crossovers: +DI above -DI for bullish; reverse for bearish. MTF agreement reduces false signals.
Fills: Highlight dominant trends above 15 (green bullish, maroon bearish).
MTF Insight: Use the table to spot divergences (e.g., bullish current TF but bearish on daily) for potential reversals.
Combine with support/resistance or other momentum oscillators like macd, rsi, stochastic for robust strategies. Test on various assets and TFs to find the best settings that suit your trading style.
Alerts
Includes 20 alert conditions, with MTF extensions (higher TF alerts may repaint – use with caution for live trading):
Strength crossing 0 or bullish/bearish thresholds (on current and higher TFs).
+DI/-DI crossovers (bullish/bearish) on current TF.
ADX above strong threshold.
+DI/-DI above 25 or below 15.
Consolidation detection.
MTF-specific: Strength changes on higher TFs (e.g., "Strength Above Bullish Threshold on TF1").
Configure in TradingView by selecting from the alert dropdown.
Usage Tips
Select higher TFs that suit your strategy (e.g., 1H chart with 4H and Daily for day trading).
Use the table for at-a-glance MTF alignment without switching charts.
Customize appearance to avoid clutter on busy setups.
Backtest thoroughly, especially noting potential repainting on higher TFs.
Z-Score Momentum | MisinkoMasterThe Z-Score Momentum is a new trend analysis indicator designed to catch reversals, and shifts in trends by comparing the "positive" and "negative" momentum by using the Z-Score.
This approach helps traders and investors get unique insight into the market of not just Crypto, but any market.
A deeper dive into the indicator
First, I want to cover the "Why?", as I believe it will ease of the part of the calculation to make it easier to understand, as by then you will understand how it fits the puzzle.
I had an attempt to create a momentum oscillator that would catch reversals and provide high tier accuracy while maintaining the main part => the speed.
I thought back to many concepts, divergences between averages?
- Did not work
Maybe a MACD rework?
- Did not work with what I tried :(
So I thought about statistics, Standard Deviation, Z-Score, Sharpe/Sortino/Omega ratio...
Wait, was that the Z-Score? I only tried the For Loop version of it :O
So on my way back from school I formulated a concept (originaly not like this but to that later) that would attempt to use the Z-Score as an accurate momentum oscillator.
Many ideas were falling out of the blue, but not many worked.
After almost giving up on this, and going to go back to developing my strategies, I tried one last thing:
What if we use divergences in the average, formulated like a Z-score?
Surprise-surprise, it worked!
Now to explain what I have been so passionately yapping about, and to connect the pieces of the puzzle once and for all:
The indicator compares the "strength" of the bullish/bearish factors (could be said differently, but this is my "speach bubble", and I think this describes it the best)
What could we use for the "bullish/bearish" factors?
How about high & low?
I mean, these are by definitions the highest and lowest points in price, which I decided to interpret as: The highest the bull & bear "factors" achieved that bar.
The problem here is comparison, I mean high will ALWAYS > low, unless the asset decided to unplug itself and stop moving, but otherwise that would be unfair.
Now if I use my Z-score, it will get higher while low is going up, which is the opposite of what I want, the bearish "factor" is weaker while we go up!
So I sat on my ret*rded a*s for 25 minutes, completly ignoring the fact the number "-1" exists.
Surprise surprise, multiplying the Z-Score of the low by -1 did what I wanted!
Now it reversed itself (magically). Now while the low keeps going down, the bear factor increases, and while it goes up the bear factor lowers.
This was btw still too noisy, so instead of the classic formula:
a = current value
b = average value
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
I used:
a = average value over n/2 period
b = average value over n period
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
And then compared the Z-Score of High to the Z-Score of Low by basic subtraction, which gives us final result and shows us the strength of trend, the direction of the trend, and possibly more, which I may have not found.
As always, this script is open source, so make sure to play around with it, you may uncover the treasure that I did not :)
Enjoy Gs!

Understanding the Zones
Supply Zones (Red):
Created from bearish patterns (Tweezer Tops, Kangaroo Bears). Price made a high attempt to push higher, but was rejected. These become resistance areas where sellers may step in again.
Demand Zones (Green):
Created from bullish patterns (Tweezer Bottoms, Kangaroo Bulls). Price made a low with strong rejection. These become support areas where buyers may step in again.
Zone Quality Indicators:
• White border = Fresh zone, not tested yet
• Gray border = Zone expired or invalidated
• Thin zones (tight range) = Better risk/reward ratio
• Thick zones = Less precise, wider stop required
Trading Applications
Reversal Trading - Enter at pattern detection with tight stops
Zone Retest Trading - Wait for retests of established zones
Trend Confluence - Trade only when patterns align with trend
Risk Management - Use zone boundaries for stop placement
Target Setting - Opposite zones become profit targets
Pro Tips
Best signals occur when pattern + zone retest + trend all align
Lower timeframes = more signals but more noise
Higher timeframes = fewer but more reliable signals
Start with default settings, adjust based on your market
Combine with other analysis (structure, key levels, etc.)
Use alerts to avoid staring at charts all day
Important Notes
Not all patterns will lead to successful trades
Use proper risk management and position sizing
Patterns work best in trending or range-bound markets
Very choppy conditions may produce lower-quality signals
Always confirm with your own analysis before trading

📚 WHO WAS JESSE LIVERMORE?
Jesse Livermore (1877-1940) was one of the greatest traders in history.
His core insight: "Most traders do everything backward."
♦ "They deploy all capital at once" → Livermore entered with a small fraction of his capital (he started with a 'test position' to validate his trade idea and waited for market confirmation to deploy more, building positions in steps = "pyramiding")
♦ "They average down" (DCA) → Livermore added to trades showing good results only, and never to losing trades, as the trend kept aligning with his trade idea
♦ "They use arbitrary % stops" → Livermore exited when structure appeared broken (he trailed his stop loss to try to protect unrealized profit - if any)
♦ "They take profits too early or set arbitrary TP%" → Livermore let trades showing positive results run until proven wrong (trial take profit)
💬 "I always made money when I was sure I was right before I began. What beat me was not having enough brains to stick to my own game."
— Jesse Livermore
This indicator tries to translate his principles into a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK :
BO = Base Order (first order, base of the pyramid)
PO = Pyramid Orders (additional layers of capital deployed as long as the 'tape' does not invalidate the trade idea)
♦ Test First (BO - 20%) - Small entry to test your idea. If wrong, lose small. If right, can consider pyramiding into strength.
♦ Build Position Size (PO1-3 - 80%) - Add only as trend unfolds favorably (the indicator uses specific Fibonacci levels to track milestones - 0.618, 1.0, 1.272 - and looks for strong confluence among price, volume, trend, momentum, break of resistance/support levels to suggest and trigger actions: entries, exit)
♦ Attempt to Protect Capital - Dynamic stops: the indicator trails the stop loss, to try to protect potential gains from previous steps (if any)
♦ Discipline - Trades fire only when ALL conditions align

🎯 INDICATOR FEATURES
You map 3 points on the chart → The indicator generates a systematic trading plan structure based on your wave analysis.
✓ Auto-detects trade direction: Uptrend wave (A➚B➘C) = Long signals | Downtrend wave (A➘B➚C) = Short signals
✓ Entry/exit prices: BO, PO1, PO2, PO3, and dynamic EXIT (trailing stop)
✓ Real-time condition monitoring: Live ✓/✗ checks for each order (price closes + volume + trend + pivot breaks + candle quality + sequence)
✓ Visual trade execution: Green labels mark entries (BO/PO1/PO2/PO3), red labels mark EXIT
✓ Optional 3Commas automation: JSON webhooks for hands-free execution via Signal Bots
⏰ Recommended Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
(Lower timeframes like 15m/5m produce excessive noise and false signals)

⚙️ SETUP IN 3 STEPS
🟡 STEP 1: Map Your Wave (Points A → B → C)
Identify a completed wave pattern:
For LONGS:
♦ Point A = Swing low (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing high (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback low (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
For SHORTS:
♦ Point A = Swing high (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing low (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback high (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
How to set points:
Settings → Enter dates manually OR drag the vertical lines directly on the chart (easier - just click and drag the pre-mapped A/B/C lines)
Requirements (auto-validated by code):
✓ All dates must be in the past (Point C = completed retrace, not forming)
✓ Clear impulse A→B (minimum 5% move)
✓ Clear retrace B→C (minimum 3% pullback)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 2: Set Budget & Allocation
Settings → "TRADE PARAMETERS"
♦ Total Budget: $10,000 (example - capital for THIS trade only, not your entire account)
♦ Allocation (must total 100%):
BO = 20% ($2,000) - test position
PO1 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 0.618
PO2 = 30% ($3,000) @ Fib 1.0
PO3 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 1.272
💬 "It was never my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 3: Monitor Your Trade Plan Table
The table (top-right corner) has 4 sections that guide your execution:
BUDGET DEPLOYMENT
♦ Trigger prices for each order (BO auto-calculated at 0.5 Fib between B-C)
♦ Dollar amount per entry
♦ Fibonacci level assigned to each PO
ENTRY/EXIT CONDITIONS
Each column (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3) shows live status (✓ or ✗) for:
♦ Price: 2 consecutive closes (BO) | 3 consecutive closes (POs)
♦ Volume: OBV directional alignment OR volume spike above average
♦ Trend: Normal or Strong Bull/Bear (no entries in Uncertain trend)
♦ Pivot: Nearest resistance (longs) or support (shorts) broken
♦ Clean Candle: Momentum without reversal wicks <30% (POs only)
♦ Sequence: Prior order must have fired first (POs only - no skipping levels)
TRIGGERED?
Shows execution status for each order (✓ = fired, ✗ = waiting)
If using 3Commas: ✓ confirms JSON alert was sent to your bot for real execution
VALIDATIONS
✓ Green = All checks passed, setup is valid
⚠️ Yellow = Warning (e.g., budget doesn't equal 100%, deep retrace)
✗ Red = Error (e.g., dates in wrong order, invalid wave structure)
⚠️ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in a column before that order fires at bar close

📊 CHART VISUALS - READING THE INDICATOR
Fibonacci Extension Lines
After mapping A-B-C, horizontal lines extend to the right:
♦ Solid green/red lines = Active PO entry levels (0.618, 1.0, 1.272)
♦ Dotted gray lines = Reference Fib levels used for exit tracking (2.0, 2.618, 3.0, etc.)
♦ Labels on right = Show level and price: "Fib 0.618 / $67,324 "
Entry/Exit Price Lines
♦ Thick green line (longs) / red line (shorts) = BO entry price with direction label
♦ Dashed red line = Current EXIT price (your trailing stop loss - appears after BO fires and moves as price extends)
Trade Execution Labels
Visual confirmation when orders fire on the chart:
♦ Green labels (below/above candles) = BO, PO1, PO2, PO3 entries executed
♦ Red label = EXIT triggered (position closed)
Trend Strength Indicator (EMA Line)
The thick colored line shows real-time trend status:
♦ Bright lime = Strong bullish trend
♦ Light green = Normal bullish trend
♦ Bright red = Strong bearish trend
♦ Light red = Normal bearish trend
♦ Gray = Uncertain/weak trend (no entries fire in this state)
Entries require at least Normal trend strength aligned with your trade direction.

🔧 ENTRY LOGIC - TECHNICAL DETAILS
💬 "The big money was never made in the buying or the selling. The big money was made in the waiting."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟢 BASE ORDER (BO) - TEST POSITION
BO Price Calculation
Auto-calculated at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement between Point B and Point C
Formula: (Price B + Price C) / 2
Why this level?
♦ Midpoint between impulse end (B) and retrace end (C)
♦ Breakout above/below suggests retrace may be complete
♦ Designed to help position BO below all Fib extensions (to control sequence issues)
───────────────────────────────────────────
BO Entry Conditions - ALL 5 Must Align:
1️⃣ PRICE: 2 Consecutive Closes Beyond BO
♦ Longs: close > BO AND close > BO
♦ Shorts: close < BO AND close < BO
♦ Why: Designed to confirm breakout commitment and filter fakeouts
2️⃣ TREND: Normal OR Strong Trend Aligned
♦ Detection: 18-period EMA + ADX/DMI + higher timeframe slope
♦ States: Strong Bull/Bear (ADX>30), Normal Bull/Bear (price vs EMA), Uncertain
♦ Confirmation: Requires 3 consecutive bars in the same state (to reduce flip-flop)
♦ BO accepts: Normal OR Strong (you're testing early, basic alignment sufficient)
3️⃣ PIVOT: Nearest Resistance/Support Broken
♦ Storage: 60 most recent pivot highs/lows (dynamic lookback per timeframe)
♦ Longs: Nearest pivot HIGH above BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Shorts: Nearest pivot LOW below BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Price Discovery: If no pivot exists beyond BO = auto-pass
♦ Why: Aims to confirm momentum has overcome previous rejection zones
4️⃣ VOLUME: OBV Aligned OR Spike
♦ Directional OBV: OBV > 20-EMA (longs) OR OBV < 20-EMA (shorts)
♦ OR Volume Spike: Current volume > 20-period SMA
♦ Why: Checks for institutional participation signals
5️⃣ VALIDATIONS: Setup Valid (✅)
♦ Dates valid (A < B < C, all in past)
♦ Wave structure valid (min 5% impulse, min 3% retrace)
♦ Budget allocation = 100%
♦ Prices detected at all points
⚠️ BO fires once per bar close. Flag set permanently until trade resets.
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔺 PYRAMID ORDERS (PO1-3) - PYRAMIDING INTO STRENGTH
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high. The big money was never made in the stock market by buying on declines."
— Jesse Livermore
PO Price Calculation
Fixed Fibonacci extensions from Point C:
Formula: Price C ± (Impulse Range × Fib Level)
Where: Impulse Range = |Price B - Price A|
Default Levels:
♦ PO1 @ Fib 0.618 (Golden Ratio)
♦ PO2 @ Fib 1.000 (Full impulse repeat)
♦ PO3 @ Fib 1.272 (Fibonacci sequence extension)
───────────────────────────────────────────
PO Entry Conditions - ALL 6 Must Align (STRICTER):
1️⃣ PRICE: 3 Consecutive Closes Beyond PO
♦ Longs: close > PO AND close > PO AND close > PO
♦ Shorts: close < PO AND close < PO AND close < PO
♦ Why: Higher conviction needed when adding capital (3 vs 2 closes for BO)
2️⃣ TREND: Same as BO
Normal OR Strong trend must remain aligned with trade direction
3️⃣ PIVOT: Per-Level Pivot Break
♦ Each PO checks its OWN nearest pivot (not shared with BO)
♦ Same 2-close break requirement
♦ PO3 Exception: Price discovery allowed (no pivot required if already profitable)
4️⃣ VOLUME: Same as BO
Sustained confirmation required (not weakening)
5️⃣ CLEAN CANDLE: <30% Reversal Wick (NEW)
♦ Filter: Uses ATR(14) - candles < ATR auto-pass (consolidation noise)
♦ Longs: Upper wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at top)
♦ Shorts: Lower wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at bottom)
♦ Why: Don't pyramid into weakness/rejection - only add on clean momentum
♦ Not checked for BO: Test position tolerates some wick risk
6️⃣ SEQUENCE: Prior Order Fired
♦ PO1 requires: BO fired
♦ PO2 requires: PO1 fired
♦ PO3 requires: PO2 fired
♦ Why: No skipping levels - disciplined building only
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY DIFFERENCE:
BO (20% capital) = Lighter requirements, testing your idea early
POs (80% capital) = Stricter requirements, adding only to confirmed winners
♦ BO: 2 closes | POs: 3 closes
♦ BO: No candle check | POs: Clean candle required
♦ BO: Independent | POs: Sequential (must follow order)
♦ BO: No price discovery | PO3: Allows price discovery when profitable

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚪 EXIT LOGIC - TECHNICAL DETAILS
🔴 EXIT PHILOSOPHY
The indicator uses TWO INDEPENDENT EXIT TRIGGERS (whichever fires first):
1) Structural Breakdown
Price breaks through the EXIT level with confirmation
2) Trend Reversal
Trend flips against your position AND price breaks EXIT level
Why two methods?
♦ Structure = price-based protection (hard stop)
♦ Trend = momentum-based exit (early warning when market character changes)
♦ Combined: Exit either when proven wrong (structure) or when conditions no longer favor your direction (trend)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT PRICE CALCULATION
The EXIT price (your stop loss) adjusts dynamically based on position size:
BEFORE PO3 Fires (Fixed Stops):
♦ BO only = Stop at Point C (small position, tight stop near entry)
♦ PO1 fired = Stop at Fib 0.5 (moved to breakeven zone)
♦ PO2 fired = Stop at Fib 0.786 (protecting partial profits)
AFTER PO3 Fires (Trailing Stops):
♦ Tracking: Monitors the highest Fib reached (longs) or the lowest Fib reached (shorts)
♦ Placement: EXIT moves 1-2 Fib levels below the highest (longs) or above the lowest (shorts)
♦ Example: Price reaches Fib 2.618 → EXIT trails up to Fib 2.0
♦ Purpose: Designed to protect accumulated profits while allowing room for normal pullbacks
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT CONDITIONS
Exit Speed (Based on Risk Exposure):
♦ Full position (PO3 fired) = 1 close required (fast exit - more capital at risk)
♦ Partial position (BO/PO1/PO2 only) = 2 closes required (confirmation - less urgency)
METHOD 1: Structural Breakdown
Price violates the EXIT level with clean momentum:
For Longs:
♦ Price closes BELOW EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (lower wick < 50% of range - no false breakdown)
For Shorts:
♦ Price closes ABOVE EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (upper wick < 50% of range - no false breakout)
Why clean candle check?
Designed to reduce exits on wicks/fakeouts. If there's a large reversal wick (>50%), it suggests buyers/sellers are defending the level - not a true breakdown.
METHOD 2: Trend Reversal
Market character shifts against your position:
For Longs:
♦ Trend shifts from Bull → Normal Bear OR Strong Bear
♦ AND price breaks below EXIT level (same close requirements)
For Shorts:
♦ Trend shifts from Bear → Normal Bull OR Strong Bull
♦ AND price breaks above EXIT level (same close requirements)
Why this matters?
♦ Proactive exit before structural stop is hit
♦ If the trend that confirmed your entries reverses, the setup is invalidated
♦ Livermore principle: Exit when market proves you wrong, don't wait for max pain
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ EXIT BEHAVIOR
♦ Fires once per bar close (same as entries)
♦ Resets all tracking after exit (ready for fresh trade setup)
♦ Clears flags: boSignalFired, po1/po2/po3SignalFired, highestFib/lowestFib tracking
♦ If using 3Commas: Sends exit_long or exit_short JSON (market order closes 100% position)

🤖 3COMMAS AUTOMATION (OPTIONAL)
💬 "There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is also the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time."
— Jesse Livermore
Automation designed to help remove emotion and support disciplined execution.
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚡ QUICK SETUP IN 5 STEPS
STEP 1: Create Your Signal Bots
You need 2 SEPARATE BOTS (one for Longs, one for Shorts):
Go to 3Commas → Bots → Create Bot → Select "Signal Bot"
Basic Settings:
♦ Bot Name: "Livermore Long - " (example: "Livermore Long - BTCUSDT")
♦ Exchange: Your connected exchange
♦ Trading Pair: Must match TradingView chart exactly
♦ Strategy: Custom Signal
♦ Direction: LONG (for first bot) or SHORT (for second bot)
♦ Max Active Deals: 1
⚠️ CRITICAL SETTINGS:
Entry Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Entry Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "Send in webhook, quote"
♦ Why: This lets the indicator control exact $ amounts per order (BO=$2K, PO1=$2.5K, etc.)
♦ If you skip this: Orders will use wrong sizes and break your allocation plan
Exit Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Exit Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "100 Position %"
♦ Why: Closes your entire position when EXIT signal fires
♦ Toggle OFF: "Take Profit" (managed by indicator)
♦ Toggle OFF: "Stop Loss" (managed by indicator)
Click "Start Bot" for both Long and Short bots.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: Get Your Bot Credentials
For EACH BOT (Long and Short):
♦ Open the bot → Click "Orders" tab
♦ Scroll down to "Webhook Messages" section
♦ Copy these 3 values:
bot_uuid (long string like: a362cbcf-7e68-4379-a83d-ae6e47dba656)
secret (very long token starting with: eyJhbGciOiJ...)
webhook URL (refer to 3commas to get exact webhook - signal bots)
Note: The secret is usually the same for both bots, but the bot_uuid is different.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: Enter Credentials in Indicator
Back in TradingView:
♦ Open indicator Settings
♦ Find section: "1️⃣ INTEGRATE 3COMMAS"
♦ Paste:
Long = Your Long bot UUID
Short = Your Short bot UUID
Secret = Your secret token (same for both)
♦ Click "OK"
The indicator now has everything needed to build JSON payloads.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: Create TradingView Alert
This alert bridges TradingView → 3Commas. ONE ALERT HANDLES ALL SIGNALS (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3, EXIT).
How to create:
♦ Right-click chart → "Add Alert" (or click clock icon)
♦ Condition: Select this indicator from dropdown
♦ Trigger: "Any alert() function call"
♦ Alert Name: "Livermore Pyramiding - "
♦ Message: Leave default (indicator sends its own JSON)
♦ Webhook URL: Paste your 3Commas webhook URL from Step 2
♦ ⚠️ Alert Frequency: "Once Per Bar Close" (CRITICAL - controls duplicate orders)
♦ Expiration: Open-ended (or set specific date)
♦ Click "Create"
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 5: Test Before Going Live
🧪 NEVER TEST WITH REAL CAPITAL FIRST. Use one of these methods:
Test 1: Check Bot Status
♦ 3Commas → Bots → Both bots show "Active" (green)
♦ Click into each bot → Orders tab → Should say "Waiting for signal"
Test 2: Verify Alert Active
♦ TradingView → Alerts panel (bell icon)
♦ Your alert should show "Active" status
Test 3: Paper Trade / Tiny Position
♦ Use 3Commas paper mode if available, OR
♦ Set Total Budget to $10-50 for first real test
♦ Map a wave that's about to trigger
♦ Watch if orders actually appear on 3Commas
Test 4: Check JSON Format
♦ When alert fires → TradingView Alerts → Click your alert
♦ Look at "History" or "Log"
♦ Verify JSON has: bot_uuid, secret, action, price, amount
───────────────────────────────────────────
🛠️ COMMON ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
✗ Problem: Orders not appearing on 3Commas
Possible causes:
♦ Wrong webhook URL → Must be exact 3Commas URL (check for typos)
♦ Bot paused → Check bot status must be "Active" (green)
♦ Wrong bot UUID → Verify you copied Long UUID for longs, Short UUID for shorts
♦ Secret mismatch → Double-check secret is correct
♦ Exchange API issues → Verify exchange connection in 3Commas settings
How to debug:
♦ 3Commas → Your Signal Bot → Orders tab
♦ Look for "Rejected Signals" section
♦ Should show error messages if webhook failed
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Orders executing at wrong prices
Possible causes:
♦ Limit order not filled → Price gapped through your level before order filled
♦ Slippage on exits → Exits use market orders (intentional - speed over exact price)
♦ Exchange minimums → Some exchanges have minimum order sizes
Solution:
♦ Entries use limit orders (wait for exact price - may not fill if price gaps)
♦ Exits use market orders (prioritize fast execution when structure breaks)
♦ This is INTENTIONAL DESIGN following Livermore's principle: exit when proven wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: PO orders firing out of sequence or skipping
Possible causes:
♦ Alert not set to "Once Per Bar Close" → Change alert frequency setting
♦ Multiple alerts running → Delete old/duplicate alerts for this indicator
♦ Conditions changed mid-bar → Indicator only fires at bar close (protective feature)
Solution:
♦ Keep only 1 active alert per indicator instance
♦ Always use "Once Per Bar Close" frequency
♦ Wait for full bar to close before signals can fire
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Bot not closing position on EXIT
Possible causes:
♦ Exit order setting wrong → Check bot settings
♦ Wrong JSON action → Should be "exit_long" or "exit_short"
♦ No position open → Can't close what doesn't exist
Solution:
♦ Verify: Bot Settings → Exit Orders → Volume per Order = "100 Position %"
♦ Check alert history for correct JSON payload
♦ If stuck: Manually close position in 3Commas, then fix settings
♦ Delete and recreate alert if JSON format is wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔒 SECURITY BEST PRACTICES
♦ Never share bot UUID or Secret - Treat them like passwords
♦ Use restricted API keys - Limit to specific pairs, disable withdrawals
♦ Start small - Test with $10-50 first, scale up only after success
♦ Monitor first trades - Don't set-and-forget immediately
♦ Delete old alerts - If you change A/B/C points, delete old alert and create new one
───────────────────────────────────────────
📊 PREFER MANUAL TRADING?
Skip 3Commas entirely and use the indicator for planning only:
♦ Watch Trade Plan table for ✓✓✓✓✓ alignment
♦ Manually place limit orders at displayed prices
♦ Manually move stop loss as EXIT price updates
♦ Manually close when EXIT signal fires
Benefits: Full control, no API concerns, can override based on context
Drawbacks: Must watch chart constantly, emotions can interfere, may miss signals
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ FINAL CHECKLIST BEFORE LIVE TRADING
✓ Both Signal Bots created (Long + Short)
✓ Entry Orders: Volume = "Send in webhook, quote"
✓ Exit Orders: Volume = "100 Position %"
✓ Take Profit and Stop Loss disabled in bots
✓ Bot UUIDs and Secret entered in indicator
✓ TradingView alert created with correct webhook
✓ Alert frequency = "Once Per Bar Close"
✓ Alert status shows "Active"
✓ Tested with small amounts successfully
✓ Trade Plan table shows ✅ (no validation errors)
✓ Understand your risk per trade
Once all checked: You're ready for automated pyramiding execution.

💡 KEY REMINDERS - BEFORE YOU TRADE
💬 "The speculator's chief enemies are always boring from within. It is inseparable from human nature to hope and to fear."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES (AVOID THESE)
Mapping Incomplete Waves
♦ Point C must be in the PAST (completed retrace, not currently forming)
♦ Don't map a wave that's still developing - wait for confirmation
♦ Minimum requirements: 5% impulse (A→B), 3% retrace (B→C)
Ignoring Validation Warnings
♦ Never create alerts when status shows ✗ (red) or ⚠️ (yellow)
♦ Fix all errors first: dates in order, budget = 100%, valid wave structure
♦ Common issues: dates in future, Point C above B (longs) or below B (shorts)
Premature Manual Entries
♦ Don't enter just because price touched the level
♦ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in Trade Plan table
♦ Patience pays - partial confluence = partial edge = higher risk of losing trades
Wrong Timeframe Selection
♦ Avoid: 15m, 5m, 1m (too much noise, false signals)
♦ Use: 1H, 4H, Daily (cleaner structure, better confluence)
♦ Lower timeframes require faster decisions and produce more whipsaws
Over-Risking Capital
♦ Trade budget ≠ Account size
♦ Never risk capital you can't afford to lose
♦ One bad trade should NOT destroy your account
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ LIVERMORE PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
Confirmation > Prediction
♦ Don't predict where price will go
♦ Wait for price to INDICATE direction via pivots + volume + trend
♦ Test first (BO 20%), build only when confirmed (POs 80%)
💬 "A man must believe in himself and his judgment if he expects to make a living at this game."
Pyramid on Strength, Never Weakness
♦ Add only when: 3 closes + clean candles + volume + pivot breaks
♦ Never average down (DCA into losers)
♦ If BO wrong, take small loss fast - don't hope and add more
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high."
Respect Market Structure
♦ Pivots = where smart money previously acted (support/resistance)
♦ Breaking them = momentum overcoming barriers
♦ Entering before pivot break = entering into known rejection zones
Trend is Your Friend
♦ Never pyramid against the trend
♦ If trend shifts to Uncertain or reverses → no new entries
♦ Exit when trend proves you wrong (don't fight it)
💬 "I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn't get you anywhere."
Discipline > Emotion
♦ Can't "almost" have all conditions met
♦ Either 100% aligned (all ✓) or you wait
♦ No exceptions, no "this time is different"
♦ Automation designed to help remove emotion - consider using 3Commas
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting."
───────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 FINAL THOUGHT
This indicator is a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK, not a magic solution. It translates Livermore's century-old principles into actionable rules:
♦ Test small, build big
♦ Add to winners, cut losers fast
♦ Let structure guide exits
♦ Stay disciplined when emotions scream
The market will test your patience, discipline, and conviction. The indicator aims to reduce guesswork - but YOU still need to:
♦ Find valid wave structures
♦ Choose appropriate market conditions
♦ Size positions properly
♦ Accept losses as part of the game
💬 "The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer."

How It Works:
The script fetches candle data using the request.security() function for the selected timeframe and type (Normal or Heikin Ashi).
Each candle’s buyer and seller strength is calculated as:
Buyer Strength (%) = ((Close - Low) / (High - Low)) * 100
Seller Strength (%) = ((High - Close) / (High - Low)) * 100
Candles are drawn as boxes with wicks on the chart at the specified horizontal offset.
The dominant strength is displayed above each candle, colored green for bullish dominance or red for bearish dominance.
Daily candles can optionally show the day of the month as a label.
Use Cases:
Quickly identify recent bullish or bearish trends on daily and weekly timeframes.
Compare strength of buyers vs sellers across multiple periods.

RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Strategy 1: Mean Reversion Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Ranging or choppy markets with no clear directional trend
Timeframe: Works best on lower timeframes (5m-1H) or during consolidation phases
Band Characteristic: Normal to narrow band width
Entry Rules:
Long Entry: RSI touches or crosses below lower band, wait for RSI to start rising back toward basis before entry

Prepare bracket orders for both directions
Wait for band expansion to begin
Entry Execution:
Breakout Confirmation: Enter in direction of RSI band breakout (RSI breaks above upper band or below lower band)
Price Confirmation: Ensure price also breaks corresponding technical level
Volume Confirmation: Look for volume expansion supporting the breakout
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Place beyond consolidation pattern opposite extreme
Position Sizing: Use smaller size due to false breakout risk

📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)
