TanHef RanksTanHef Ranks: A numeric compass to market tops and bottoms.
█ Simple Explanation:
This indicator is designed to signal 'buy low and sell high' opportunities through numerical rankings, where larger numbers represent stronger signals. These numbered rankings are negative for potential ‘buy’ opportunities and positive for possible ‘sell’ moments.
█ Understanding Numerical Rankings:
The numerical rankings (from +18 to -18) identify and take advantage of market tendencies of prices reverting back to their historical average, also known as mean reversion. It operates on a simple principle: smaller values signal a potential for short-term mean reversion, while larger values suggest a probable shift in both short and long-term mean reversion. These values are derived from a careful analysis of both short and long-term mean reversions, providing traders with a nuanced understanding of market movements.
█ Analyzing Numeric Ranking Extremes:
The historical occurrences of numeric rankings are recorded into a table to help identify the previous extreme rankings (for example anything -10/+10 is considered extreme), which historically signal key turning points in market movements. The previously extreme rankings offer insights into potential end-of trend scenarios or trend reversals, thereby attempting to make high-probability trading decisions.
█ Risk Management Integration:
This indicator combined with disciplined risk management, offers a more secure trading approach. Applying a stop-loss near lows after entries on the oversold side (negative rankings) protects from large losses. Additionally, once prices reach overbought territories (positive rankings) applying a tight stop-loss helps to lock in profits while continuing exposure to the aggressive upwards momentum.
█ Calculation Methodology:
The indicator evaluates market momentum by analyzing upward and downward movements. It does this by referencing the 10 'length' input parameters, where 'length' refers to the number of price bars referenced. Each 'length' increases in value to analyze trends from short to long-term. A numerical rank is given when these trends align, with higher ranks requiring agreement across both short and longer-term lengths. This alignment across different time periods helps to ensure the indicator's signals are robust.
█ Indicator Stability (No Repainting):
When a price bar closes, its associated ranking is fixed and remains unchanged (some other indicators repaint, which means signals can change after a bar closes). While a price bar is open, its numeric ranking may increase in absolute value but never decrease towards zero, ensuring further stability. This stability and consistency is crucial for reliable back-testing and real-time analysis. Notably, in the highly improbable scenario where a ranking may exhibit both a positive and negative value simultaneously during extreme volatility, both the positive and negative numeric ranking is displayed.
█ Practical Application:
Pro Tip: Use at a minimum -4/+4 rank as potential basic buy/sell signals. Higher absolute numeric rankings are ideal as they indicate stronger reversal potential due to higher rankings identifying longer period reversals.
Entry Scenario: Refer to the chart below. The -9 ranking (3 occurrences in the table) indicates potential oversold conditions, suggesting a buy. Add a stop-loss near recent lows to protect against losses.
Exit Scenario: Refer to the chart below. The +7 ranking (6 occurrences in the table) indicates potential overbought conditions, suggesting a sell. Place a stop-loss to protect profits and remain exposed to further gains.
█ Indicator Settings:
Additional Timeframe: Allows users to include an extra timeframe's data in the analysis for more nuanced insights.

LYFX-GOLD-15MIndicator Operation Method:
The indicator provides a buy signal when the price stabilizes above the moving averages. It should be close to the averages at the same time to ensure a close stop loss.
When the conditions are met, a long trade is opened, and the buy signal appears on the indicator. The stop loss is placed with the red line, and the targets are indicated with the blue balloons. Usually, the first target is twice the stop loss, and the second target is three times the stop loss.
This indicator is one of the most powerful indicators for monitoring price explosions in gold.
For clarification, this indicator is used (according to its default settings) exclusively for gold and only on the 15-minute timeframe. The indicator is created by Mr. Layth Al-Muhandis:
The indicator provides a very close stop loss compared to the first and second targets. I recommend adhering strictly to the stop loss and securing the trade after achieving profits.
This is a simple explanation of how the indicator works.

ProfitAlgoOverview
ProfitAlgo is a powerful and intuitive trading tool specifically developed to cater to the requirements of both beginners and experienced traders. It is designed to function in every timeframe and on all cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, forex, futures, currencies, ETF's, energy and commodities. This innovative tool provides real-time signals, comprehensive trend analysis, and advanced risk management features, making it an indispensable asset for traders of all levels. This cutting-edge tool generates 'BUY' and 'SELL' signals, complemented by an array of robust analytical tools. Empower your trading analysis with this all-in-one solution and add to your arsenal of indicators to make well-informed decisions.
This algorithm incorporates a sophisticated Fourier smoothing technique to effectively filter price data, reduce noise and reveal underlying patterns and trends. By utilizing multiple price series data and incorporating Price Volume Trend, it leverages volume analysis and price movement patterns. Furthermore, the algorithm employs relative and simple moving average calculations to enhance signal clarity and filter out outliers, resulting in a more refined and robust indicator.
Features
Buy/Sell signals: Visually illustrated by 'BUY' and 'SELL' labels, these signals provide indications to traders about optimal times to enter or exit positions in the market based on the particular asset they are trading. Traders may want to enter long positions when buy signals appear, and enter short positions when 'SELL' signals appear.
Stop Loss/Take Profit Levels: Stop loss and take profit levels are predefined price thresholds that allow traders to automatically exit trades to limit losses or secure profits, respectively. Stop loss and take profit levels are visually depicted through three dotted lines on the trading chart, including the entry price, take profit (TP), and stop loss (SL). Additionally, a table displays the corresponding price entries for all three levels, providing a comprehensive overview of the trade. Traders can effectively manage their risk and optimize their trading by implementing predefined threshold settings and establishing take profit levels, thus safeguarding their profits using a strategic approach.
Support and Resistance Levels: Support and resistance levels are key price levels in the market that act as barriers or turning points for the price movement of an asset. Traders utilize these levels to identify potential areas of buying and selling opportunities. These can be depicted as red (resistance) and green (support) horizontal lines. These levels can serve as valuable complements to stop/loss and take profit levels, providing confirmation for profit-taking opportunities and facilitating effective risk management. Moreover, they can synergistically work alongside the price lines to identify potential reversal zones by visualizing market highs/lows in conjunction with areas of supply & demand.
Moving Average Bands: Moving average bands, plotted alongside the price data, dynamically change color based on the prevailing trend, with red indicating a downtrend and green representing an uptrend. This visual tool provides valuable insights to users, allowing them to quickly identify and interpret market trends. Integrating Moving Average bands with our buy/sell signals offers added confidence in identifying market trends, enabling traders to seek validation and enhance their decision-making process.
Trend Table: The trend table provides real-time information on the current trend of an asset, displaying three distinct outputs: "Uptrend," "Downtrend," and "Ranging Trend." This valuable tool enables users to assess the live trend of an asset, which may differ from the buy/sell signals. The primary objective of this feature is to analyze real-time trends in both ranging and trending market conditions. While the current signal may indicate a 'BUY' signal, the table can present an alternative output, providing valuable insights for traders and investors.
Price Lines: Price lines are depicted as two parallel grey lines running alongside the price data, representing the highs and lows of the market. This visual tool is utilized to identify patterns of higher highs and lower lows, enabling traders to gain insights into the overall trend and potential reversals in the market. When used in conjunction with our signals, MA bands and trend table, it may reinforce your interpretation of the underlying trend as well as provide insights into the trend strength.
*Note: These features are customizable via the settings menu in TradingView.
Calculations
How are buy/sell signals calculated?
The buy and sell signals are generated through a comprehensive calculation process that encompasses various types of analysis techniques. With permission from the author, wbburgin's Fourier transform is utilized to filter and extract relevant information from the price data, removing noise from the signals (filter is only applied in this feature). The buy and sell conditions are calculated based on a combination of volume-based analysis, and price movement patterns, employed to assess the direction and strength of market trends. The combination aims to produce a comprehensive view of both volume-based and price-based market dynamics. By integrating these analysis techniques, traders can gain insights into the relationship between volume, price, and market trends. This combined approach, as well as Fourier smoothing, can help identify potential market reversals, confirm trend strength, produce less noisy data and provide additional confirmation signals for trading decisions. By considering the insights provided by this analysis, the algorithm determines the appropriate actions, signaling the opportunities to enter or exit positions in the market. In summary, these calculations aim to identify favorable trading opportunities by considering factors such as trend strength, volume dynamics, and price patterns, ultimately assisting traders in making well-informed decisions in the market.
How are stop/loss and take/profit levels calculated?
The stop loss and take profit levels are calculated using a combination of technical factors, including the Average True Range (ATR) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The rationale for this combination is to enable dynamic risk management and align profit targets with the prevailing market conditions; ATR provides a measure of volatility and risk, while EMA helps identify the underlying trend, allowing for effective stop-loss and take-profit placement. These indicators are utilized to gauge market volatility and determine suitable levels for managing risk and securing potential profits. By incorporating ATR and EMA calculations, the algorithm generates dynamic stop loss and take profit levels that adapt to market conditions.
Calculating support and resistance levels
These levels help identify areas where the price tends to find support (support levels) or encounter resistance (resistance levels). This script utilizes pivot point calculations to determine these significant price levels, which can assist traders in trading decisions regarding potential price reversals, trend continuations, and entry/exit points in their strategies.
What are the moving average bands based on?
The moving average bands, based on VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average) calculations using OHLC4 price data, are visualized as unique bands on the chart. VWMA bands are chosen to find trends because they effectively combine volume-weighted calculations with moving averages, providing valuable insights into the strength and direction of price movements. These bands dynamically change color to reflect the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, the bands are represented by a green color, while in a downtrend, they appear in red. The VWMA bands utilize a unique counting method to capture trend movements and potential reversals.
How is the Trend Table calculated?
The underlying trends in the trend table are calculated based on counting methods applied to the VWMA bands. It utilizes specific thresholds to determine different trends, such as "Up Trend," "Down Trend," and "Ranging Trend." These thresholds are used to assess the current trend of the asset and provide valuable insights for traders.
Price Lines Calculation
The price lines are calculated based on the price data. They represent the range of prices, with one line plotted above the closing price and another line plotted below it. The space between these lines is filled to visualize the price volatility. Traders can utilize these lines to identify significant price levels and observe the overall price movement.

[DisDev] 12 Candle|Round#|Future SessionsThis indicator has many components; below, each component is explained and how it can be used as a trading tool.
1) Future Lines
a. Vertical lines are projected into the future to mark the beginning of each of the three major markets, Tokyo, London, and New York.
b. When major markets open, this can cause an increase in price action. So this component provides the trader with a reminder of when the next major market opens.
c. Also, the days of the week are displayed to allow the user to backtest price reaction for certain days of the week easily (e.g., Major Markets reopening after the weekend).
2) 12 Hour Candle Sessions High and Low
a. As price intersects with the beginning of the session, the vertical line disappears, and two corresponding horizontal lines begin. These horizontal lines dynamically adjust to mark each session's high and low, and a semi-transparent box fills the space between the high and low lines.
b. The duration of each session is a three-hour window, which each consists of 12 Fifteen-Minute Candles. This marks the hour prior to equity markets open, the opening hour, and the post-open hour.
c. The sessions highs and lows can be selected within the settings show for a 24 hour period. This assists the trader with session range breakouts; three examples of how this could be traded are below.
Example 1
d. The Tokyo and London session high kept the price action within a range. Once it broke the range, the Tokyo and London session highs were used as support, resulting in a range breakout.
Example 2
e. The below picture shows price action failing to break London Session Low and New York Session High; this is followed by Tokyo Low acting as resistance and price moving down 9%.
Example 3
f. Below price action with an increased volume of 323% (based on the average of the last 10 bar) fails to break the Tokyo High on the 1st attempt. The second attempt fails on 241% volume. The third attempt at 475% breaks the range, completing the range breakout seeing a move of 3.4% in price.
4) High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD)
a. As the trading day unfolds, we mark the HOD (d-High) and LOD (d-Low) with blue dotted horizontal lines. Then at the start of the next trading day, the former High and Low become the Previous Day High (pd-High) and Low (pd-Low) and are changed to dashes.
b. These high and low levels add extra confluence with the session high and lows for Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) and confirmation of trends.
5) Round Numbers
a. As humans, it's hard to use just any number to make sense of things. We prefer to use round numbers. This is important for trading as many traders will automatically use round numbers as their stop losses.
b. This indicator component reminds users of this fact and displays round numbers such as 00, 25, 50, and 75. The indicator automatically calculates and displays lines for the round numbers for as many as twelve levels above and below the current price.
c. Below are examples of how round numbers are broken to trigger stop losses; you may want to break the habit of using round numbers as your stop losses.
Below is the indicator in full swing, displaying all the elements described above.
Day Trading SPYThis script can be used to see a potential trend change, ride a trend and to scalp following the current trend.
Indicators:
- ATR (bright green/maroon) – is a longer term trend ATR line
- MA (green/red) - is a shorter term MA, where the fast MA is dotted and the long MA is a line
- Support and Resistance (white bold line) – long-term support and resistance areas
- Scalping signals (red/green) – small triangles above/below the candles bouncing off fast MA
- Black candles - oversized huge candles, which must be addressed carefully, especially when these candles change the trend per ATR, as with such huge candle – it is hard to determine where to place the stop-loss (if it is above/below the candle, since the candle is so big - it becomes a big risk). Also such candles may point to an unusual market moves. The size can be adjusted from 0.1 and up, it’s set to 1.4 by default, but it can be changed as needed. With such candles, it is best to wait and see what market does. If the black candle is following the ATR trend or changing the trend per ATR – wait for next 1-3 candles or so, usually those re-bounce in the opposite direction of the ATR trend, which allows you to open the position with a tighter stop-loss.
- Olive and Maroon candles – overbought and oversold candles per RSI (80/15 default) levels. At this levels just watch out for a potential soon reversal. Keep in mind, price may continue going oversold/overbought for a while, so look for additional confirmations.
1) ATR (long-term trend): The flag “Buy” and “Sell” signals (can set Alerts), which happens when the price is crossing through ATR line, marking a potential trend change. If ATR matches MA and ideally there is a breakout - open position in the direction of the signal and use the ATR line as your initial hard stop-loss until you reach the first price target / take first profit. It is best to use the most recent high/low pivot or a Fibonacci extension for the first price target. Once you take it – move SL to entry to secure the profits. If the trend continues and you take the next price target, you can use the fastMA (dotted line) as your dynamic stop-loss to ride the trend. Use the bold white line (long-term support and resistance) where price may certainly reverse where you can close your position completely if you day-trading Options.
2) MA (scalping): The small green and red triangles below/above the bars (can set Alerts), which appear when the price “touches” the fast MA (dotted line) and re-bounces from it with the candle matching the direction (bullish/bearish). Make sure ATR and MA are both going in the same direction for best results. This can be used to scalp for small profits or to jump into the trend. To minimize the risk, since you are jumping into the trend, I suggest placing your stop-loss slightly above/below the candle (the one which bounced off the fast MA). Price targets are similar – most recent high/low pivot or a Fibonacci extension. Same way, once you take the first profit/reach the first price target, move SL to entry and on the next price target – use the fast MA as your dynamic stop-loss.
If you don’t know how to divide up your position - here is an example on how I take profits between the price targets:
- Open position with buying a multiple of x4 contracts
- Sell ½ of the position at first price target and move my SL to entry
- Sell ½ of the remaining position at a second price target
- Sell the rest of the position at the third price target or sell ½ of it and use the fast MA as my dynamic stop-loss for the remaining of the position
Also, keep an eye on the breakouts, especially if they go along the ATR and MA trend and keep an eye on the volume, which may help confirming the direction of the price.

Trailing % StopTrailing % Stop is a simple Stop Loss indicator which users have to define a % percent rate to trail the price like MOVING STOP LOSS "MOST" Indicator.
The main difference is MOST refers to exponential moving averages although Trail % Stop refers to source price.
Default price of source is CLOSE price which can be optimized by the user.
"What is a Trailing Stop-Loss?
A trailing stop-loss order is a special type of trade order where the stop-loss price is not set at a single, absolute dollar amount, but instead is set at a certain percentage or a certain dollar amount below the market price. A trailing stop-loss is sometime referred to simply as a trailing stop.
How a Trailing Stop-Loss Works
When the price goes up, it drags the trailing stop-loss along with it, but when the price stops going up, the stop-loss price remains at the level it was dragged to.
A trailing stop-loss is a way to automatically protect yourself from an investment's downside while locking in the upside.
For example, you buy Company XYZ for $10. You decide that you don't want to lose more than 5% on your investment, but you want to be able to take advantage of any price increases. You also don't want to have to constantly monitor your trades to lock in gains.
You set a trailing stop on XYZ that orders your broker to automatically sell if the price dips more than 5% below the market price.
The benefits of the trailing stop are two-fold. First, if the stock moves against you, the trailing stop will trigger when XYZ hits $9.50, protecting you from futher downside.
But if the stock goes up to $20, the trigger price for the trailing stop comes up along with it. At a price of $20, the trailing stop will only trigger a sale if the stock drops below $19. This helps you lock in most of the gains from the stock's rally.
In the example, you could also decide you don't want to lose more than $2 on your $10 investment. If the stock goes up to $20, the trailing stop-loss would drag along behind the price and only trigger a sale if the stock falls to $18.
Why a Trailing Stop-Loss Matters
A trailing stop-loss can be good for investors who may not have enough discipline to lock-in gains or cut losses. It removes some of the emotion from the trading process and offers some capital protection automatically.
There are some drawbacks to consider. First, you need to consider your trailing stop percentage or amount very carefully. If you're investing in a particularly volatile stock, you could find the stop level triggered fairly frequently."
Long Short signals and alarms are also included.
™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator is an easy to use indicator that plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on the chart along with an optional dynamic trigger line for SELL and BUY which can be used as a reference for Stop Loss/ Trailing Stop Loss.
What does the ™TradeChartist Entry/Exit Indicator do?
Plots very high probability BUY and SELL signals on chart
Plots dynamic BUY or SELL trigger lines that can be used to
---------1. Set Stop Loss reference or Trailing Stop Loss.
---------2. Anticipate change in trend/momentum when price breaches the trigger line.
Plots BUY and SELL price lines which are Candle open prices when BUY/SELL signals are posted.
Alert traders when BUY/SELL signal is generated and Trigger for BUY/SELL is breached.
Plots Background vertical Signal break lines at BUYs in green and at SELLs in red.
Plots % Gains based on candle close in real-time and based on candle high for BUY/candle low for SELL on previous candles calculated from the candle open price at BUY/SELL.
Plots RSI colour candles based on user preferred Overbought and Oversold RSI levels from indicator settings.
Paints background colour for BUY and SELL zones which can be changed from indicator settings under Style tab to personalise the chart screen.
What markets can this indicator be used on?
Forex
Stocks
Commodities
Cryptocurrencies
and almost any asset on Trading View
Works really well when there is good volume, volatility or both in the asset observed/traded.
Does this indicator repaint?
No and Yes
Once the confirmed BUY (in green) and SELL (in red) signals are posted after a candle close, it doesn't repaint.
Repainting happens for real time BUY and SELL trigger plots on the current candle as price tries to breach the trigger line.
For confirmed BUY and SELL alerts, use alerts on candle close. Real-time BUY and SELL trigger alerts can also be set.
Does the indicator send alerts when a signal is generated?
Yes, traders can get alerts by setting Trading View alerts for BUY/SELL Signals and BUY/SELL Triggers. For confirmed BUY/SELL alerts, 'Once per bar close' must be used.
Why are there two Signal Generator types in the indicator settings?
The two types of signal generators cater to almost all types of traders and trade types. Some assets perform well with Type 1 and some assets with Type 2. Also some traders prefer Type 1 and some prefer Type 2 based on variation in frequency of signals on the asset observed. Both types can be used along with 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from the indicator settings to have more combinations to test on an asset for maximising gains.
Type 1 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 2 on GBPUSD 1hr chart
Type 1 normally works well with most types of assets.
Should the indicator be used on normal candles or Heikin Ashi candles?
The indicator can be used on either of the candle types. If signals from Heikin Ashi chart needs to be plotted on normal chart, just check 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' from indicator settings. It may not be exact, but very close as it mimics Heikin Ashi chart trend.
Heikin Ashi charts are recommended to spot trends and reversals but they don't reflect real OHLC values in the candles, so BUY/SELL entry price points may not be ideal using Heikin Ashi charts especially when there are gaps in price action (example Stocks, FOREX, Commodities). For real OHLC prices and to know exact price points for entering/exiting trade, use normal candlestick charts. It is purely for this reason Heikin Ashi chart signals can be mimicked on normal candles using 'Use Heikin Ashi Candles' option from settings without having to switch between the two.
It can be seen from the GOLD 1hr charts above (Heikin Ashi on left and normal candlestick chart on right), the indicator mimics signals sensibly (not copy) and doesn't use same entry values as Heikin Ashi chart to aid the trader with practical trade execution.
How do the Trigger Lines work and should they be used?
Trigger for BUY/SELL lines are coded to adapt to bull and bear power in the asset trading environment and helps the trader to anticipate change in trend based on direction of price momentum when enabled from indicator settings (On by default). Traders can use trigger lines as reference for Stop Loss points. For example, when a BUY signal is posted, the 'Trigger for SELL' can be used as initial Stop Loss reference and as price starts going up, the trigger line starts moving up enabling the trader to use it as a trailing stop loss point which helps secure or lock profits as they act as ideal support/resistance lines based on the type of trade too. BUY/SELL Trigger lines can be enabled or disabled from indicator settings 'Inputs' tab.
Also, the trigger lines can alert traders to anticipate change in trend/momentum when price hits them and it helps them take a position, either Long or Short when confirmed BUY/SELL signal is posted. As price tries to breach the trigger lines, they change from 'Trigger to BUY/SELL' to 'BUY/SELL Triggered' as shown below on 1hr Gold chart. This feature is coded purely to signal the trader a potential change in trend/momentum. The trigger lines also act as strong support/resistance so only a confirmed close above them will ensure a High Probability Trade.
It should also be noted that price tends to test the BUY/SELL trigger lines to see if a breach is possible. A rejection at trigger lines could mean trend continuation in the signal direction. Traders could use other trend indicators like Ichimoku cloud, stoch, TRIX etc. to make an informed trade decision here. In the chart below, the 'BUY triggered' label has changed back to 'Trigger for BUY' as price failed to close above it.
What is the use of 'Plot BUY/SELL Price Line'?
Enabling BUY/SELL price line from settings (On by default) plots the price line corresponding to candle open when BUY/SELL signals were posted on the chart by the indicator. Open price is used as it is close to the trigger lines and is a fair reference point for indicator to calculate the gains plot on chart since BUY/SELL signals.
Can trade gains be plotted on chart and how are they calculated?
To show percentage gains on chart, just enable 'Show % Gains on Chart' from indicator settings (Off by default). As explained above, % gains are calculated from BUY/SELL candle Open price to high (for Long trades) or low (for Short trades) and to current candle close (for both Long and Short trades) as it helps see real-time gains from BUY/SELL candle Open price. The % gains are plotted as below.
0 - 0.75% - ↑ in green
0.75-1.5% - 1% in green
1.51-2.5% - 2% in green
2.51-3.5% - 3% in green
3.51-4.5% - 4% in green
4.51-5.5% - 5% in green
5.51-10.5% - 5+% in green

What are RSI Colour Candles?
RSI Colour Candles are visual candle plots in colour (Blue when RSI>60, Yellow when RSI<30 and On by default) that help trades spot RSI levels at a glance visually from the chart in real-time without the need for another indicator on screen. Traders can also choose the source to be used for plotting RSI colour candles from indicator settings input tab and change candle colours from indicator settings style tab. The length for RSI calculation is 14 and works well for almost any trading scenario and cannot be changed from indicator settings. The default overbought RSI is set at 60 as it helps spot momentum increase and big moves happen above 60 RSI. When deciding to sell or buy, RSI can be tuned from settings to spot decent entry or exit. For example, RSI>80 on a red Heikin Ashi candle (blue body and red border) after an uptrend could signal potential sell-off or RSI<30 on a green Heikin Ashi candle (yellow body and green border) after a down trend could signal a good move up. In the example daily chart of RVN-BTC below, RSI>75 on a red Heikin Ashi candle signalled a potential sell off way before the actual SELL signal plot on chart.
What is the use of Signal Break Line Plot and Paint Background options from indicator settings?
Signal break lines can be useful if traders prefer to switch off BUY/SELL signals from indicator settings to show where previous signals were generated. (On by default)
Paint Background is just a nice to have feature that paints the signal zones to personalise the chart screen. (Off by default). The background paint colours can be changed from indicator settings style tab.
4hr SPX chart below showcases the difference when the Signal Break Lines and Background Paint options are used with BUY/SELL signals switched off.

TrendMaster Pro with Dynamic ATROverview
TrendMaster Pro with Dynamic ATR is a comprehensive trend-following indicator designed for traders seeking to identify entry and exit points in trending markets while incorporating volatility-based risk management. Built on a multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Average (EMA) system, it combines short-term momentum signals with long-term trend filters, enhanced by a Volatility-Adjusted Moving Average (VMA) for confirmation and Average True Range (ATR) for adaptive stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This indicator overlays directly on your chart, providing visual cues for buy/sell signals, dynamic stops/targets, and optional EMA lines. It's ideal for swing trading, day trading, or scalping across various assets like stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and commodities. The system emphasizes trend alignment to reduce false signals, with customizable options for trailing mechanisms and filters to suit different market conditions.
Key benefits:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Incorporates higher timeframe EMAs for robust trend detection without needing to switch charts.
Volatility Adaptation: Uses ATR for dynamic positioning of stops and targets, helping manage risk in volatile environments.
Flexible Customization: Toggles for displaying EMAs, using trailing stops/targets, and applying VMA filters for entries/exits.
Alert Integration: Built-in alerts for entries, exits, stop breaches, and target hits to automate notifications.
Core Components
The indicator revolves around four EMAs, a VMA, and ATR calculations:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Fast EMA (Default: 12 periods): Captures short-term momentum and quick price changes.
Slow EMA (Default: 27 periods): Identifies medium-term trends, providing a smoother view than the Fast EMA.
Stop EMA (Default: 48 periods on 15-minute timeframe): Acts as dynamic support/resistance for risk management and exit signals.
Trend EMA (Default: 288 periods on 5-minute timeframe): Serves as a long-term trend filter to ensure trades align with the overall market direction.
Volatility-Adjusted Moving Average (VMA):
A dynamic moving average that adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility (using a Directional Movement Index-inspired calculation).
Length: Default 6 periods.
Colored green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or blue (neutral/sideways).
Optionally filters entries and exits to confirm trend direction.
Average True Range (ATR):
Measures volatility over a specified period (Default: 14).
Used to set adaptive stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Multipliers allow customization: Stop (Default: 1.5x ATR), Fixed Target (Default: 3.0x ATR), Trailing Target (Default: 2.0x ATR).
Supports trailing options for stops (based on highest/lowest since entry) and targets (ratcheting with price movement).
Signal Generation
Entry Signals
Buy (Long) Signal: Triggered when the price is above the Trend EMA (bullish alignment) and one of the following occurs:
Price crosses above the Trend EMA.
Price crosses above the Fast EMA, with Fast EMA > Slow EMA > Trend EMA.
Price crosses above the Slow EMA, with Fast EMA > Slow EMA > Trend EMA.
Filtered optionally by VMA being green (uptrend confirmation).
Visual: Green "BUY" label below the bar.
Sell (Short) Signal: Triggered when the price is below the Trend EMA (bearish alignment) and one of the following occurs:
Price crosses below the Trend EMA.
Price crosses below the Fast EMA, with Fast EMA < Slow EMA < Trend EMA.
Price crosses below the Slow EMA, with Fast EMA < Slow EMA < Trend EMA.
Filtered optionally by VMA being red (downtrend confirmation).
Visual: Red "SELL" label above the bar.
Exit Signals
Exit Long: Occurs when the position is active and:
Price crosses below the Stop EMA, or
Price hits the ATR stop-loss (fixed or trailing), or
Price reaches the ATR take-profit (fixed or trailing).
Filtered optionally by VMA > Stop EMA and VMA red (downtrend shift).
Visual: Green "E" label (exit) or "TP" label (if target hit).
Exit Short: Occurs when the position is active and:
Price crosses above the Stop EMA, or
Price hits the ATR stop-loss (fixed or trailing), or
Price reaches the ATR take-profit (fixed or trailing).
Filtered optionally by VMA < Stop EMA and VMA green (uptrend shift).
Visual: Red "E" label (exit) or "TP" label (if target hit).
The indicator tracks only one active position at a time (long or short), resetting on exit. Trailing stops update based on the highest high (long) or lowest low (short) since entry.
Visual Elements
How to Use ?
Setup: Add to your chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe (e.g., shorter lengths for intraday, longer for swings).

ICT Smart Money Trading Suite [SwissAlgo]ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite - Technical Analysis Indicator
----------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
The ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite is a technical analysis indicator that implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology and Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
ICT methodology was developed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT) and focuses on understanding Institutional market behavior.
Smart Money Concepts builds upon these ideas to analyze how large Financial Institutions and/or Market Makers seem to operate in the markets.
This indicator combines multiple analytical tools into a single package for market structure analysis, imbalance detection, and the observation of institutional order flow.
----------------------------------------------------------
CORE COMPONENTS
Market Structure Analysis:
- External Structure : Major swing highs and lows that define broader price movement (these are the most significant structural points that institutions reference for their positioning and typically require substantial volume and momentum to break)
- Internal Structure : Shorter-term pivots showing micro-trend developments within the External Structure (these internal pivot highs and lows often represent areas where retail traders may be positioned on the wrong side of the market as they frequently form just before major structural breaks or trend continuations, creating liquidity that institutions can utilize)
- Structural Breakout Detection : Identification of structure breaks and potential trend changes ( 'Change of Character' which occurs when the External Structure shifts from bullish to bearish bias or vice-versa indicating a potential major trend reversal, and 'Break of Structure' which happens when price decisively takes out previous significant highs in a bearish trend or previous significant lows in a bullish trend confirming trend continuation or acceleration)
- EMA Cloud : Dynamic support and resistance zones with trend context (additional reference point)
Imbalance Zone Detection:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Price inefficiencies that occur between candles when sudden price moves create gaps in price delivery
Typically formed when the low of a bullish candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods prior, or when the high of a bearish candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods prior
These gaps represent areas where price moved too quickly without adequate two-way auction process
Institutions may return to fill these inefficiencies at a later time for proper price discovery
The theory suggests that all price ranges should eventually be traded through to complete the auction process
Gaps are automatically removed from the chart when price fully retraces back through the inefficient area
Order Blocks (OBs):
Specific candles that occur immediately before significant market moves and represent institutional decision points
Identified as the last opposing candle before a strong directional move (final bearish candle before major bullish move or final bullish candle before major bearish move)
These candles contain the orders and liquidity that institutions used as a foundation for their market manipulation
Represent areas where large institutional players positioned themselves to move the market significantly
Price may return to these levels to collect additional liquidity or test institutional resolve
The candle's full range (high to low) is considered the active zone where institutional interest may remain
Vector Candle Recovery:
Zones created by high-activity candles that demonstrate unusually large range and volume characteristics
These candles are interpreted as manipulative price pushes designed to hunt liquidity and trigger stop losses
Often used by institutions to induce retail traders into poor positions before reversing direction
Recovery zones represent the full range of these vector candles where price may retrace
The concept assumes that extreme moves often get partially retraced as the market corrects from artificial price displacement
Zones are invalidated when a significant portion of the vector candle range is retraced (typically 50% or more)
Support & Resistance:
Key price zones based on historical price reactions and pivot clustering analysis
Calculated through algorithmic identification of areas where price has repeatedly found buyers (support) or sellers (resistance)
Strength is determined by the number of times price has reacted from these levels and the volume of activity at these zones
Represent psychological and algorithmic reference points where institutional systems are likely to place orders
Create areas of increased probability for price reactions due to concentration of pending orders and decision-making activity
Zones are color-coded based on current price position: green for support (price above), red for resistance (price below), yellow for neutral (price within)
Liquidity Analysis:
- Liquidity Pools : Areas above or below key levels where stop orders may cluster
- Kill Zones : Time-based periods associated with increased market activity
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly Price Levels : Key institutional reference points (price highs/lows)
Vector Candles/Price Manipulation:
Advanced algorithm identifying statistically significant candles using volume delta analysis, range statistics, and persistence scoring.
----------------------------------------------------------
VISUAL INTERPRETATION - DETAILED GUIDE
MARKET STRUCTURE
External Structure (Thick Lines):
- Green thick lines: Major support levels (external lows) that define bullish structure
- Red thick lines: Major resistance levels (external highs) that define bearish structure
- These lines represent significant swing points that institutions may reference
- Lines extend from the swing point and update as the structure evolves
Internal Structure (Thin Lines):

- Trading Allocation: 20%
- Risk per Trade: 0.1%
**Risk Amount = $100,000 × 20 × 0.1 ÷ 10,000 = $20**
This means you would risk $20 per trade, which is 0.1% of your $20,000 trading allocation.
## Portfolio Structure Example
Let's say you have a $100,000 portfolio:
### Allocation Structure:
- **Total Portfolio**: $100,000
- **Trading Allocation (20%)**: $20,000
- **Long-term Investments (80%)**: $80,000
### Risk Management:
- **Risk per Trade (0.1% of trading)**: $20
- **Maximum trades at risk**: Could theoretically have 1,000 trades before risking entire trading allocation
## How Position Size is Calculated
### Trade Direction Detection
- **Long Trade**: Entry price > Stop loss price
- **Short Trade**: Entry price < Stop loss price
### Position Size Formulas
#### For Long Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Stop Loss × (1 - Fee) - Entry Price × (1 + Fee))
```
#### For Short Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Entry Price × (1 - Fee) - Stop Loss × (1 + Fee))
```

## Best Practices
### Portfolio Management
1. **Keep trading allocation reasonable** (typically 10-30% of total portfolio)
2. **Use conservative risk percentages** (0.05-0.2% per trade)
3. **Don't risk more than you can afford to lose**
### Risk Management
1. **Start with small risk factors** (1.0 or less) until comfortable
2. **Monitor your total exposure** across all open positions
3. **Adjust risk based on market conditions**
### Trade Execution
1. **Always validate calculations** before placing trades
2. **Account for slippage** in volatile markets
3. **Consider position size relative to liquidity**
## Risk Management Guidelines
### Conservative Approach
- Trading Allocation: 10-20%
- Risk per Trade: 0.05-0.1%
- Risk Factor: 0.5-1.0
### Moderate Approach
- Trading Allocation: 20-30%
- Risk per Trade: 0.1-0.15%
- Risk Factor: 1.0-1.5
### Aggressive Approach
- Trading Allocation: 30-40%
- Risk per Trade: 0.15-0.25%
- Risk Factor: 1.5-2.0
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Position Size shows 0**
- Verify all portfolio inputs are greater than 0
- Check that entry price differs from stop loss
- Ensure calculated risk amount is positive
2. **Very small position sizes**
- Increase risk percentage or risk factor
- Check if your risk amount is too small for the price difference
3. **Large risk deviation**
- Normal for very small positions
- Consider adjusting entry/stop loss levels
### Validation Checklist
- Total portfolio value is realistic
- Trading allocation percentage makes sense
- Risk percentage is conservative
- Entry and stop loss prices are valid
- Trade direction matches your intention
## Advanced Features
### Risk Factor Usage
- **Scaling up**: Use risk factors > 1.0 for high-confidence trades
- **Scaling down**: Use risk factors < 1.0 for uncertain trades
- **Never exceed**: Risk factors that would risk more than your comfort level
### Multiple Timeframe Analysis
- Use different risk factors for different timeframes
- Consider correlation between positions
- Adjust trading allocation based on market conditions

Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.

TitanGrid L/S SuperEngineTitanGrid L/S SuperEngine
Experimental Trend-Aligned Grid Signal Engine for Long & Short Execution
🔹 Overview
TitanGrid is an advanced, real-time signal engine built around a tactical grid structure.
It manages Long and Short trades using trend-aligned entries, layered scaling, and partial exits.
Unlike traditional strategy() -based scripts, TitanGrid runs as an indicator() , but includes its own full internal simulation engine.
This allows it to track capital, equity, PnL, risk exposure, and trade performance bar-by-bar — effectively simulating a custom backtest, while remaining compatible with real-time alert-based execution systems.
The concept was born from the fusion of two prior systems:
Assassin’s Grid (grid-based execution and structure) + Super 8 (trend-filtering, smart capital logic), both developed under the AssassinsGrid framework.
🔹 Disclaimer
This is an experimental tool intended for research, testing, and educational use.
It does not provide guaranteed outcomes and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
Use with demo or simulated accounts before considering live deployment.
🔹 Execution Logic
Trend direction is filtered through a custom SuperTrend engine. Once confirmed:
• Long entries trigger on pullbacks, exiting progressively as price moves up
• Short entries trigger on rallies, exiting as price declines
Grid levels are spaced by configurable percentage width, and entries scale dynamically.
🔹 Stop Loss Mechanism
TitanGrid uses a dual-layer stop system:
• A static stop per entry, placed at a fixed percentage distance matching the grid width
• A trend reversal exit that closes the entire position if price crosses the SuperTrend in the opposite direction
Stops are triggered once per cycle, ensuring predictable and capital-aware behavior.
🔹 Key Features
• Dual-side grid logic (Long-only, Short-only, or Both)
• SuperTrend filtering to enforce directional bias
• Adjustable grid spacing, scaling, and sizing
• Static and dynamic stop-loss logic
• Partial exits and reset conditions
• Webhook-ready alerts (browser-based automation compatible)
• Internal simulation of equity, PnL, fees, and liquidation levels
• Real-time dashboard for full transparency
🔹 Best Use Cases
TitanGrid performs best in structured or mean-reverting environments.
It is especially well-suited to assets with the behavioral profile of ETH — reactive, trend-intraday, and prone to clean pullback formations.
While adaptable to multiple timeframes, it shows strongest performance on the 15-minute chart , offering a balance of signal frequency and directional clarity.

• Available Cash – Capital not currently allocated to any position
• Used Margin – Capital locked in open trades, based on position size and leverage
• Net Profit – Realized gain/loss after commissions and fees
• Raw Net Profit – Gross result before trading costs
• Floating PnL – Unrealized profit or loss from active positions
• ROI – Return on initial capital, including realized and floating PnL. Leverage directly impacts this metric, amplifying both gains and losses relative to account size.
• Long/Short Size & Avg Price – Open position sizes and volume-weighted average entry prices
• Leverage & Liquidation – Simulated effective leverage and projected liquidation level
• Hold – Best-performing hold side (Long or Short) over the session
• Hold Efficiency – Performance efficiency during holding phases, relative to capital used

• Win Rate: 80% – 95%
• Expectancy: 0.01% – 0.05%
• Volume / Month: Very high
Breakout Strategies
• Profit Factor: 1.4 – 2.2
• Payoff Ratio: 1.2 – 2.0
• Win Rate: 35% – 60%
• Expectancy: 0.2% – 0.6%
• Drawdown: Can be sharp after failed breakouts
🔹 Note on Performance Simulation
TitanGrid includes internal accounting of fees, slippage, and funding costs.
While its logic is designed for precision and capital efficiency, performance is naturally affected by exchange commissions.
In frictionless environments (e.g., zero-fee simulation), its high-frequency logic could — in theory — extract substantial micro-edges from the market.
However, real-world conditions introduce limits, and all results should be interpreted accordingly.
Pucci Trend EMA-SMA Crossover with TolerancePucci Trend EMA-SMA Crossover with Tolerance
This indicator helps identify market trends and generates trading signals based on the crossover between an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with an adjustable tolerance threshold. The signals work as follows:
Buy Signal (B) -> Triggers when the EMA crosses above the SMA, exceeding a user-defined tolerance (in basis points). Optionally, a price filter can require the high or low to be below the EMA for confirmation.
Sell Signal (S) -> Triggers when the SMA crosses above the EMA, exceeding the tolerance. The optional price filter may require the high or low to be above the EMA.
The tolerance helps reduce false signals by requiring a minimum distance between the moving averages before confirming a crossover. The price filter adds an extra confirmation layer by checking if price action respects the EMA level.
Important Notes:
1º No profitability guarantee: This tool is for analysis only and may generate losses.
2º "As Is" disclaimer: Provided without warranties or responsibility for trading outcomes.
3º Use Stop Loss: Users must determine their own risk management.
4º Parameter adjustment needed: Optimal MA periods and tolerance vary by timeframe.
5º Filter impact varies: Enabling/disabling the price filter may improve or worsen performance.

Position Size CalculatorPosition Size Calculator - User Guide
A simple tool to calculate optimal position size based on your risk preferences, visualize trade levels, and automatically determine trade direction.
Introduction
The Position Size Calculator is a TradingView indicator designed to help traders calculate the optimal position size for their trades based on account size and risk tolerance. This tool visually represents entry, stop loss, and take profit levels while automatically calculating the appropriate position size to maintain consistent risk management.
Getting Started
Setting Up Your Account Parameters
Setting Price Levels
Understanding the Visual Elements
Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart
Reading the Information Panel
1. Getting Started
After adding the indicator to your chart, you'll see three horizontal lines representing:
Yellow line: Entry price
Green line: Take profit price
Red line: Stop loss price
The indicator automatically detects whether you're planning a Long or Short trade based on the position of your take profit relative to your entry.
2. Setting Up Your Account Parameters
In the "Position Calculator" settings group:
Account Size : Enter your total account balance
Account Currency : Set your account currency (USD, EUR, etc.)
Risk (%) : Enter the percentage of your account you're willing to risk per trade (e.g., 2%)
Instrument Type : Select your trading instrument (Forex, Futures, Stocks, or Crypto)
Value per 0.01 lot per tick : Enter the value of 0.01 lots per tick (for most Forex pairs, this is $1 per pip for 0.01 lot)
Minimum Lot Size : Set the minimum lot size allowed by your broker (usually 0.01 for Forex)
3. Setting Price Levels
In the "Price Levels" section:
Entry Price : The price at which you plan to enter the trade
Stop Loss Price : Where you'll exit if the trade goes against you
Take Profit Price : Your target price where you'll take profits
If you set Entry Price to 0, it will default to the current price. If Stop Loss or Take Profit are set to 0, they'll default to 5% below or above entry price respectively.
4. Understanding the Visual Elements
Yellow line : Your entry price
Green line : Your take profit level
Red line : Your stop loss level
Green zone : The profit zone (between entry and take profit)
Red zone : The loss zone (between entry and stop loss)
Information panel : Shows all calculations and trade details
5. Adjusting Your Trade on the Chart
The beauty of this tool is its interactivity:
You can drag any of the lines directly on the chart to adjust entry, stop loss, or take profit
If you drag the take profit above the entry , the indicator automatically sets up for a Long trade
If you drag the take profit below the entry , it automatically configures for a Short trade
All calculations and visuals update in real-time as you adjust the lines
This means you can quickly test different scenarios and see how they affect your position size and potential profit/loss.
6. Reading the Information Panel
The information panel displays:
Account details : Your account size and currency
Risk information : Your percentage risk and the equivalent monetary amount
Position Size : The optimal lot size calculated based on your risk parameters
Price levels : Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit with distances in ticks
Risk/Reward ratio : Shown as 1:X (where X is the reward relative to 1 unit of risk)
Potential outcomes : The exact amount you stand to gain or lose on this trade
Trade direction : Whether this is a Long or Short trade
Visual Settings
You can customize the appearance in the "Visual" settings group:
Adjust colors for profit and loss zones
Change the transparency of colored zones
Toggle the filling of spaces between lines
Adjust how far the lines extend beyond the last candle
Practical Tips
Always double-check your "Value per 0.01 lot per tick" setting for the specific instrument you're trading
For Forex major pairs, the standard is usually $1 per pip for 0.01 lots
For other instruments, consult your broker's specifications
The indicator works best when you place your stop loss at a logical market level (support/resistance, swing high/low) rather than a fixed percentage
Final Thoughts
This Position Size Calculator helps remove emotion from your trading by objectively calculating your position size based on your predefined risk parameters. It ensures that you maintain consistent risk across all your trades, regardless of the stop loss distance, which is a key component of successful risk management.
Remember: The most important goal in trading is capital preservation. This tool helps you ensure that each trade risks only what you've decided is acceptable for your trading strategy.
EMA Cross Pro v2.5 | True PnL Tracking + Break Even SystemEMA Cross Pro v2.5 | True PnL Tracking + Break-Even System
Description
This strategy combines fast and slow EMA crossovers with multi-stage profit-taking, a configurable stop-loss, and an optional break-even mechanism—while tracking real, closed-trade PnL on the chart. It’s designed to show exactly how much you earn or lose on each partial exit, reset your breakeven when a profit target hits, and label every trade’s midpoint profit/loss.
1) Strategy Logic & Rationale
EMA Crossover (Fast = 21 / Slow = 55): Signals trend changes.
Partial Profit-Taking:
TP1 at +0.5% on 60% of position
TP2 at +1.0% on 30%
TP3 at +1.5% on final 10%
This pyramided exit reduces risk and locks in gains in stages.
Stop-Loss at 1.0% ensures maximum risk per trade.
Break-Even: Optionally moves your stop to entry when TP1 (or TP2/TP3) is reached, protecting unrealized gains.
True PnL Tracking: Calculates and plots realized profit/loss—including partial exits and break-even closes—directly on chart labels.
Alerts: Flexible alarms for entry, each TP, SL, and break-even activation.
