Katz Exploding PowerBand FilterUnderstanding the Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) v2.4
1. Indicator Overview
The Katz Exploding PowerBand Filter (EPBF) is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify moments of expanding bullish or bearish momentum, often referred to as "power." It operates as a standalone oscillator in a separate pane below the main price chart.
Its primary goal is to measure underlying market strength by calculating custom "Bull" and "Bear" power components. These components are then filtered through a versatile moving average and a dual signal line system to generate clear entry and exit signals. This indicator is not a simple momentum oscillator; it uses a unique calculation based on exponential envelopes of both price and squared price to derive its values.
2. On-Chart Lines and Components
The indicator pane consists of five main lines:
Bullish Component (Thick Green/Blue/Yellow/Gray Line): This is the core of the indicator. It represents the calculated bullish "power" or momentum in the market.
Bright Green: Indicates a strong, active long signal condition.
Blue: Shows the bull component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a potential sign of a reversal or weakening downtrend.
Yellow: A warning sign that bullish power is weakening and has fallen below the primary signal lines.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bullish power.
Bearish Component (Thick Red/Purple/Yellow/Gray Line): This line represents the calculated bearish "power" or downward momentum.
Bright Red: Indicates a strong, active short signal condition.
Purple: Shows the bear component is above the MA filter, but the filter itself is still pointing down—a sign of potential trend continuation.
Yellow: A warning sign that bearish power is weakening.
Gray: Represents neutral or insignificant bearish power.
MA Filter (Purple Line): This is the main filter, calculated using the moving average type and length you select in the settings (e.g., HullMA, EMA). The Bull and Bear components are compared against this line to determine the underlying trend bias.
Signal Line 1 (Orange Line): A fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the stronger power component. It acts as the first level of dynamic support or resistance for the power lines.
Signal Line 2 (Lime/Gray Line): A slower EMA that acts as a confirmation filter.
Lime Green: The line turns lime when it is rising and the faster Signal Line 1 is above it, indicating a confirmed bullish trend in momentum.
Gray: Indicates a neutral or bearish momentum trend.
3. On-Chart Symbols and Their Meanings
Various characters are plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane to provide clear, actionable signals.
L (Pre-Long Signal): The first sign of a potential long entry. It appears when the Bullish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
S (Pre-Short Signal): The first sign of a potential short entry. It appears when the Bearish Component rises and crosses above both signal lines for the first time.
▲ (Post-Long Signal): A stronger confirmation for a long entry. It appears with the 'L' signal only if the momentum trend is also confirmed bullish (i.e., the slower Signal Line 2 is lime green).
▼ (Post-Short Signal): A stronger confirmation for a short entry. It appears with the 'S' signal only if the momentum trend is confirmed bullish.
Exit / Take-Profit Symbols:
These symbols appear when a power component crosses below a line, suggesting that momentum is fading and it may be time to take profit.
⚠️ (Exit Signal 1): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the main MA Filter. This is the first and most sensitive take-profit signal.
☣️ (Exit Signal 2): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the faster Signal Line 1. This is a moderate take-profit signal.
🚼 (Exit Signal 3): The Bull/Bear component has crossed below the slower Signal Line 2. This is the slowest take-profit signal, suggesting the trend is more definitively exhausted.
4. Trading Strategy and Rules
Long Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an L to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bullish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a green ▲ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Entry Rules:
Initial Signal: Wait for an S to appear at the bottom of the indicator. This confirms that bearish power is expanding.
Confirmation (Recommended): For a higher-probability trade, wait for a maroon ▼ symbol to appear. This confirms the underlying momentum trend aligns with the signal.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position on the opening of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) Rules:
The indicator provides three levels of take-profit signals. You can choose to exit your entire position or scale out at each level.
For a long trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bullish Component.
For a short trade, exit when you see ⚠️, ☣️, or 🚼 appear below the Bearish Component.
Stop Loss (SL) Rules:
The indicator does not provide an explicit stop loss. You must use your own risk management rules. Common methods include:
Swing High/Low: For a long position, place your stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart. For a short position, place it above the most recent swing high.
ATR-Based: Use an Average True Range (ATR) indicator to set a volatility-based stop loss.
Fixed Percentage: Risk a fixed percentage (e.g., 1-2%) of your account on the trade.

you can get customer zigzag indicator by change short/long ma length and high-timeframe config(5m/15m/30m/1h/2h) in any symbol.
🎲 Indicator design logic
🎯 entired logic is simple and code looks complex, I‘ll explain core logic here, code already equipped with detailed comments.
1. use close-in EMA's highest/lowest value mark as SWING High/Low when EMA crossover/under, not use func ta.pivothigh()/ta.pivotlow()
2. when EMA crossover/under plot a char as signal like ●/❄/▲, crossover get blue char crossunder get red char
3. latest zigzag line is not drawn until EMA is turned (crossover/under), but signal is realtime
4. you can see diff zigzag structure when you open high-timeframe config, then find regular pattern benefit your trading.
🎲 Settings
🎯 there are 3 group properties in script, just focus on 5 properties in 'GRP1' ,
'GRP2' and 'GRP3' are display config.
'GRP1':
MA_Type: MA type you can choose(EMA/RMA/SMA/HMA/WMA), default is EMA
short_ma_len: short MA length of your current timeframe on chart

• show_htf_ma_line • show_htf_ma_signal
🎲 Usage
🎯 As we know, MA based signal usually worked fine in trend market , low volatility is unprofitable.
🎯 One of pattern as the chart show below.
1. success example : after a blue ▲ signal, entry long when blue ● signal appear, marked with green box.
2. failed example: after a blue ▲ signal, a red ▼ signal appear, marked with white box.
🎯 BoS(Break of Structure) based on ma zigzag is a good idea I'm implementing, it will be published in next script.

- RSI/Second Signal Cross: Confirmation signals for stronger trends.
- Level Crossings: Crosses of Overbought 70, Oversold 30, and Midline 50.
- Divergence Detection: Hidden and regular divergences for reversal signals.
2. Alert Types
- Alert: RSI > Signal
Description: Bullish momentum is building.
Signal: Consider long positions.
- Alert: RSI < Signal
Description: Bearish momentum is building.
Signal: Consider short positions.
- Alert: RSI > 70
Description: Entering the overbought zone.
Signal: Prepare for a potential reversal.
- Alert: RSI < 30
Description: Entering the oversold zone.
Signal: Watch for a bounce opportunity.
- Alert: RSI crosses 50
Description: A shift in momentum.
Signal: Trend confirmation.
3. Visual Components

- Histogram: Visualizes momentum by showing the difference between RSI and the Signal line.
- Background Zones: Red overbought, Green oversold
- Markers: Up/down triangles to indicate crossovers.
- Info Table: Real-time RSI values and status.
Strategy 1: Classic Crossover
- Entry Long: RSI crosses above the Signal Line AND RSI is below 50.
- Entry Short: RSI crosses below the Signal Line AND RSI is above 50.
- Take Profit: On the opposite signal.
- Stop Loss: At the recent swing high/low.
Strategy 2: Extreme Zone Reversal
- Entry Long: RSI is below 30 and crosses above the Signal Line.
- Entry Short: RSI is above 70 and crosses below the Signal Line.
- Risk Management: Higher win rate but fewer signals. Use a minimum 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Strategy 3: Divergence Trading
- Setup: Enable divergence alerts and look for price/RSI divergence. Wait for an RSI crossover for confirmation.
- Entry: Enter on the crossover after the divergence appears. Place the stop loss beyond the starting point of the divergence.
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
1. Check the higher timeframe e.g. Daily to identify the main trend.
2. Use the current timeframe e.g. 4H/1H for your entry.
3. Only enter in the direction of the main trend.
4. Use the RSI crossover as the entry trigger.
Optimal Settings by Market
- Forex Major Pairs
RSI Length: 14, Signal Length: 9, Overbought/Oversold: 70/30
- Crypto High Volatility
RSI Length: 10-12, Signal Length: 6-8, Overbought/Oversold: 75/25

2. Stop Loss Placement: Place stops beyond the recent swing high/low for crossovers. Using an ATR-based stop is also effective.
3. Profit Taking: Take partial profits at a 1:1 risk-reward ratio. Switch to a trailing stop after reaching 2:1.
1. Filtering Signals
- Combine with volume indicators.
- Confirm the trend on a higher timeframe.
- Wait for candlestick pattern confirmation.
2. Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don't trade every single crossover.
- Avoid taking signals against a strong trend.
- Do not ignore risk management.
3. Market Conditions
- Trending Market: Focus on midline 50 crosses.
- Ranging Market: Look for reversals from overbought/oversold levels.
- Volatile Market: Widen the overbought/oversold levels.
- If you get too many false signals:
Increase the signal line period, add other confirmation indicators, or use a higher timeframe.
- If you are missing major moves:
Decrease the RSI length, shorten the signal line period, or check your alert settings.
Recommended Combinations
1. RSI + MACD: For dual momentum confirmation.
2. RSI + Bollinger Bands: For volatility-adjusted signals.
3. RSI + Volume: To confirm the strength of a signal.
4. RSI + Moving Averages: To use as a trend filter.
This indicator provides a comprehensive RSI analysis. Success depends on proper configuration, risk management, and combining signals with the overall market context. Start with the default settings, then optimize based on your trading style and market conditions.
50/100 EMA Crossover with Candle Confirmation📘 **50/100 EMA Crossover with Candle Confirmation – Strategy Description**
The **50/100 EMA Crossover with Candle Confirmation** is a trend-following strategy designed to filter high-probability entries by combining exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers with strong price action confirmation. This strategy aims to reduce false signals commonly associated with EMA-only systems by requiring a **candle close confirmation in the direction of the trend**, making it more reliable for intraday or swing trading across Forex, crypto, and stock markets.
---
### 🔍 **Core Logic**
* The strategy is based on the interaction of the **50 EMA** (fast-moving average) and the **100 EMA** (slow-moving average).
* **Trend direction** is determined by the crossover:
* **Bullish Trend**: When the 50 EMA crosses **above** the 100 EMA.
* **Bearish Trend**: When the 50 EMA crosses **below** the 100 EMA.
* To **filter out false breakouts**, a **candle confirmation** is used:
* For a **Buy signal**: After a bullish crossover, wait for a strong bullish candle (e.g., full-body green candle) to **close above both EMAs**.
* For a **Sell signal**: After a bearish crossover, wait for a strong bearish candle to **close below both EMAs**.
---
### ✅ **Entry Conditions**
**Buy Entry:**
* 50 EMA crosses above 100 EMA.
* Latest candle closes **above both EMAs**.
* Candle must be bullish (green/full body preferred).
**Sell Entry:**
* 50 EMA crosses below 100 EMA.
* Latest candle closes **below both EMAs**.
* Candle must be bearish (red/full body preferred).
---
### 🛑 **Exit or Take-Profit Options**
* **Fixed TP/SL**: 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward.
* **Trailing Stop**: Based on recent swing highs/lows or ATR.
* **EMA Exit**: Exit trade when the candle closes on the opposite side of 50 EMA.
---
### ⚙️ **Best Settings**
* **Timeframes**: 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H (works well on most).
* **Markets**: Forex, Crypto (e.g., BTC/ETH), Indices (e.g., NASDAQ, NIFTY50).
* **Recommended filters**:
* Use with RSI divergence or volume confirmation.
* Avoid using during high-impact news (especially on lower timeframes).
---
### 🧠 **Why This Works**
The 50/100 EMA crossover provides a **medium-term trend signal**, reducing noise seen in fast EMAs (like 9 or 21). The candle confirmation adds a **momentum filter**, ensuring price supports the directional bias. This makes it suitable for traders who want a balance of trend and entry precision without overcomplicating with too many indicators.
---
### 📈 **Advantages**
* Simple yet effective for identifying trends.
* Filters out fakeouts using candle confirmation.
* Easy to automate in Pine Script or other trading bots.
* Can be combined with support/resistance or SMC zones for better confluence.
---
### ⚠️ **Limitations**
* May lag slightly in ranging markets.
* Late entries possible due to confirmation candle.
* Works best with additional volume or volatility filter.
PulseWave + DivergenceOverview
PulseWave + Divergence is a momentum oscillator designed to optimize the classic RSI. Unlike traditional RSI, which can produce delayed or noisy signals, PulseWave offers a smoother and faster oscillator line that better responds to changes in market dynamics. By using a formula based on the difference between RSI and its moving average, the indicator generates fewer false signals, making it a suitable tool for day traders and swing traders in stock, forex, and cryptocurrency markets.
How It Works
Generating the Oscillator Line
The PulseWave oscillator line is calculated as follows:
RSI is calculated based on the selected data source (default: close price) and RSI length (default: 20 periods).
RSI is smoothed using a simple moving average (MA) with a selected length (default: 20 periods).
The oscillator value is the difference between the current RSI and its moving average: oscillator = RSI - MA(RSI).
This approach ensures high responsiveness to short-term momentum changes while reducing market noise. Unlike other oscillators, such as standard RSI or MACD, which rely on direct price values or more complex formulas, PulseWave focuses on the dynamics of the difference between RSI and its moving average. This allows it to better capture short-term trend changes while minimizing the impact of random price fluctuations. The oscillator line fluctuates around zero, making it easy to identify bullish trends (positive values) and bearish trends (negative values).
Divergences
The indicator optionally detects bullish and bearish divergences by comparing price extremes (swing highs/lows) with oscillator extremes within a defined pivot window (default: 5 candles left and right). Divergences are marked with "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels on the oscillator chart.
Signals
Depending on the selected signal type, PulseWave generates buy and sell signals based on:
Crosses of the overbought and oversold levels.
Crosses of the oscillator’s zero line.
A combination of both (option "Both").
Signals are displayed as triangles above or below the oscillator, making them easy to identify.
Input Parameters
RSI Length: Length of the RSI used in calculations (default: 20).
RSI MA Length: Length of the RSI moving average (default: 20).
Overbought/Oversold Level: Oscillator overbought and oversold levels (default: 12.0 and -12.0).
Pivot Length: Number of candles used to detect extremes for divergences (default: 5).
Signal Type: Type of signals to display ("Overbought/Oversold", "Zero Line", "Both", or "None").
Colors and Gradients: Full customization of line, gradient, and label colors.
How to Use
Adjust Parameters:
Increase RSI Length (e.g., to 30) for high-volatility markets to reduce noise.
Decrease Pivot Length (e.g., to 3) for faster divergence detection on short timeframes.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: The oscillator crosses above the oversold level or zero line, especially with a bullish divergence.
Sell Signal: The oscillator crosses below the overbought level or zero line, especially with a bearish divergence.
Combine with Other Tools:
Use PulseWave alongside moving averages or support/resistance levels to confirm signals.
Monitor Divergences:
"Bull" and "Bear" labels indicate potential trend reversals. Set up alerts to receive notifications for divergences.
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks indicator detects order blocks that can be turned into breaker blocks on the chart automatically once mitigated.
Users can determine the amount of bullish and bearish order/breaker blocks that display on their chart from within the settings menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Lookback period used for the detection of the swing points used to create order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.
🔶 USAGE
We have published several scripts covering the detection of order blocks previously, however, the concept of breaker blocks was not yet introduced.
When price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
We can see that this is similar to a change in polarity, where a support becomes a resistance after a breakout and vice versa.
This script highlights regular order blocks as solid extended areas on the chart and breaker blocks as dashed lines with dual-colored areas. The color change and dashed line starts at the location where the order block was mitigated.
Using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting will return longer term order/breaker blocks on the chart.
Users can optionally enable "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have provided an effective trade setup previously.
The "Historical Polarity Changes" setting is disabled by default & is most effective using replay mode as the labels are backpainted.
The order blocks & breaker blocks themselves can be used in real-time as they are detected based on the swing length & previous breaker blocks being mitigated.
Moving Average Signals : Support ResistanceThis indicator plots a Simple Moving Average (default 50-period, adjustable) and highlights potential bounce or rejection signals when price interacts with the SMA.
It is designed to identify moments when price tests the moving average from one side and then continues in the prior direction, signaling a possible continuation trade.
🔴 Red Triangle (Bearish Rejection)
A red triangle is plotted above the bar when:
Price has been trading below the SMA.
Price tests the SMA from below (the high touches or pierces the SMA but closes back below it).
Price then continues lower on the next bar.
This suggests the SMA acted as resistance and the downtrend may resume.
🟢 Green Triangle (Bullish Rejection)
A green triangle is plotted below the bar when:
Price has been trading above the SMA.
Price tests the SMA from above (the low touches or pierces the SMA but closes back above it).
Price then continues higher on the next bar.
This suggests the SMA acted as support and the uptrend may resume.
⚡ HOW TO USE IN TRADING
Trend Confirmation
Use this indicator in trending markets (not choppy ranges).
A rising SMA suggests bullish trend bias; a falling SMA suggests bearish trend bias.
Signal Entry
Green Triangle: Consider long entries when the SMA supports price and a bullish continuation is signaled.
Red Triangle: Consider short entries when the SMA rejects price and a bearish continuation is signaled.
Stop-Loss Placement
Place stops just beyond the SMA or the rejection candle’s high/low.
Example: For a red signal, stop above the SMA or rejection candle’s high.
Take-Profit Ideas
Target prior swing highs/lows or use risk/reward multiples (e.g., 2R, 3R).
You can also trail stops behind the SMA in a strong trend.
Filters for Higher Accuracy (optional)
Confirm signals with volume, momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD), or higher-timeframe trend.
Avoid trading signals against strong higher-timeframe bias.

This indicator combines key ICT price action concepts with practical execution tools to help traders spot high-probability setups faster and more objectively. It’s designed for scalpers and intraday traders who want to keep their chart clean but never miss critical market structure events.
🔑 Features
Liquidity Pools (HTF)
• Auto-detects recent swing highs/lows from higher timeframes (5m/15m).
• Draws both lines and optional rectangles/zones for clear liquidity areas.
Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL)
• Identifies when price sweeps above/below liquidity pools and rejects back.
• Optional Grade-A sweep filter (wick size + strong re-entry).
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
• Highlights bullish/bearish imbalances.
• Optional midline (50%) entry for precision.
• Auto-invalidation when price fully closes inside the gap.
Killzones (New York)
• Highlights AM (9:30–11:30) and PM (14:00–15:30) killzones.
• Option to block signals outside killzones for higher strike rate.
Bias Badge (DR50)
• Displays if price is trading in a Bull, Bear, or Range context based on displacement range midpoint.
SMT Assist (NQ vs ES)
• Detects simple divergences between indices:
Bearish SMT → NQ makes HH while ES doesn’t.
Bullish SMT → NQ makes LL while ES doesn’t.
SL/TP Helper & R:R Label
• Automatically draws stop loss (at sweep extreme) and target (opposite pool or recent swing).
• Displays expected Risk:Reward ratio and blocks entries if below your chosen minimum.
Filters
• ATR filter ensures signals only appear in sufficient volatility.
• Sweep quality filter avoids weak wicks and fake-outs.
🎯 How to Use
Start on HTF (5m/15m) → Identify liquidity zones and bias.
Drop to LTF (1m) → Wait for a liquidity sweep confirmation.
Check for FVG in the sweep’s direction → Look for retest entry.
Use the SL/TP helper to validate your risk/reward before taking the trade.
Focus entries during NY Killzones for maximum effectiveness.
✅ Why this helps
This tool reduces screen time and hesitation by automating repetitive ICT concepts:
Liquidity pools, sweeps, and FVGs are marked automatically.
Killzone timing and SMT divergence are simplified.
Clear visual signals for entries with built-in RR filter help keep your trading mechanical.

ICT Sweep + FVG Entry (v6) • Antoine📌 ICT Sweep + FVG Entry (Antoine)
This indicator is designed for price action traders who follow ICT concepts and want a mechanical tool to spot liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps (FVGs), and precise entry signals.
🔎 Key Features
Liquidity Pools (HTF)
• Automatically plots recent swing highs/lows from a higher timeframe (5m/15m).
• These act as Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) levels where stop orders accumulate.
Sweep Detection
• Identifies when price breaks a pool (BSL/SSL) but closes back inside → a classic liquidity grab.
• Plots a triangle on the chart when a sweep is confirmed.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Highlighting
• Detects bullish and bearish FVGs on the execution timeframe (ideal for 1m).
• Option to display active FVG zones with shaded boxes.
Entry Signals
• A signal (cross) appears when:
A liquidity sweep occurs.
An FVG forms in the direction of the rejection.
Price retests the FVG (entry at the 50% mid-level or edge).
Alerts Ready
• Get alerted for sweeps (bullish/bearish) and for entry confirmations (long/short FVG retests).
🎯 How to Use
Choose your HTF (5m or 15m) → The indicator maps major liquidity pools.
Drop to LTF (1m) → Wait for a sweep signal at one of the pools.
Confirm with FVG → If an FVG appears in the sweep’s direction, the indicator waits for a retest.
Entry → Enter on the retest of the FVG (edge or 50%).
Risk Management
Stop loss: just beyond the sweep’s wick.
Target: opposite liquidity pool.
Minimum recommended R:R: 1:2.
✅ Why this helps
This tool makes it easier to trade ICT-style setups without missing opportunities:
No need to manually draw every swing high/low.
Automatic FVG detection saves time.
Clear sweep + FVG + retest logic keeps your entries mechanical and disciplined.

Breakout + Retest StrategyThe Breakout + Retest Strategy is a proven price action approach used by professional traders to catch high-probability market moves after key levels are broken. This strategy aims to enter the market after confirmation — reducing false breakouts and improving entry accuracy.
🔍 Strategy Logic:
Identify a Key Support or Resistance Level
These could be recent swing highs/lows, consolidation zones, or session highs.
Wait for a Clean Breakout
Price must decisively break above resistance or below support with strong momentum.
Watch for the Retest
After the breakout, wait for the price to pull back to the broken level (now flipped support/resistance).
Enter on Retest Confirmation
Look for signs like rejection wicks, bullish/bearish engulfing candles, or strong volume on the retest.
Set Risk-Managed Stops and Targets
Stop loss goes below (for long) or above (for short) the retested level.
Target is usually set at a 1:2 or higher risk-to-reward ratio, or based on structure.
✅ Why It Works:
Filters out fake breakouts
Uses market structure and liquidity traps to your advantage
Combines both momentum and confirmation
⚙️ Best Timeframes:
15-minute to 1-hour for intraday setups
4-hour and daily for swing trades
📊 Ideal for:
Futures (NQ, ES, Gold)
Forex pairs

MSS BoxesWhat it is
The MSS Boxes indicator finds Market Structure Shifts (a decisive break in structure with displacement) and draws actionable zones (“boxes”) from the candle that caused the shift. Those boxes then act as mitigation / continuation areas for the rest of the session (or until they’re invalidated). It’s designed to be clean, non-repainting, and to work as a confluence layer with your SD and ATR Trigger grids.
What you’ll see on the chart
Green boxes for bullish MSS (demand); red boxes for bearish MSS (supply).
A compact label at the box origin (e.g., BOS↑ / BOS↓, or CHOCH) with the time-frame tag if you enable MTF.
Optional status badge on the right edge:
active (untouched), mitigated (tapped and respected), invalid (closed through), expired.
Clean behavior: once a box is printed it does not slide; coordinates are fixed to the confirmed signal candle.
Inputs (quick guide)
Swing detection
Swing length (for swing highs/lows), lookback for break validity, strict wick rule on/off.
Displacement factor (0 = off; typical 1.2–2.0).
Box recipe
Use full wick vs. use body for top/bottom.
Minimum box height (ticks), auto-merge overlapping (joins adjacent boxes of the same side).
Max lifetime (bars), session reset (e.g., clear on NY 18:00).
MTF alignment
Toggle H1 / M15 filters; choose “Plot only when aligned” vs “Plot all but alert only when aligned.”
Visuals
Fill/outline colors, opacity, label size, extend style (full-width vs to last bar).
Canuck Trading Projection IndicatorCanuck Trading Projection Indicator
Overview
The Canuck Trading Projection Indicator is a powerful PineScript v6 tool designed for TradingView to project potential bullish and bearish price trajectories based on historical price and volume movements. It provides traders with actionable insights by estimating future price targets and assigning confidence levels to each outlook, helping to identify probable market directions across any timeframe. Ideal for both short-term and long-term traders, this indicator combines momentum analysis, RSI filtering, support/resistance detection, and time-weighted trend analysis to deliver robust projections.
Features
Bullish and Bearish Projections: Forecasts price targets for upward (bullish) and downward (bearish) movements over a user-defined projection period (default 20 bars).
Confidence Levels: Assigns percentage confidence scores to each outlook, reflecting the likelihood of the projected price based on historical trends, volatility, and volume.
RSI Filter: Incorporates a 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to validate trends, requiring RSI > 50 for bullish and RSI < 50 for bearish signals.
Support/Resistance Detection: Adjusts confidence levels when projections are near key swing highs/lows (within 2% of average price), boosting confidence by 5% for alignments.
Time-Based Weighting: Prioritizes recent price movements in trend analysis, giving more weight to newer bars for improved relevance.
Customizable Inputs: Allows users to tailor lookback period, projection bars, RSI period, confidence threshold, colors, and label positioning.
Forced Label Spacing: Prevents overlap of bullish and bearish text labels, even for tight projections, using fixed vertical slots when price differences are small (<2% of average price).
Timeframe Flexibility: Works seamlessly across all TradingView timeframes (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), adapting projections to the chart’s resolution.
Clean Visualization: Displays projections as green (bullish) and red (bearish) dashed lines, with non-overlapping text labels at the projection endpoints showing price targets and confidence levels.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes historical price and volume data over a user-defined lookback period (default 50 bars) to calculate:
Momentum: Combines price changes and volume to assess trend strength, using a weighted moving average (WMA) for directional bias.
Trend Analysis: Counts bullish (price up, volume above average, RSI > 50) and bearish (price down, volume above average, RSI < 50) trends, weighting recent bars more heavily.
Projections:
Bullish Slope: Positive or flat when momentum is upward, scaled by price change and momentum intensity.
Bearish Slope: Negative or flat when momentum is downward, amplified by bearish confidence for stronger projections.
Projects prices forward by 20 bars (default) using current close plus slope times projection bars.
Confidence Levels:
Base confidence derived from the proportion of bullish/bearish trends, with a 5% minimum to avoid zero confidence.
Adjusted by volatility (lower volatility increases confidence), volume trends, and proximity to support/resistance levels.
Visualization:
Draws projection lines from the current close to the 20-bar future target.
Places text labels at line endpoints, showing price targets and confidence percentages, with forced spacing for readability.
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 50): Number of bars for historical analysis (minimum 10).
Projection Bars (default: 20): Number of bars to project forward (minimum 5).
Confidence Threshold (default: 0.6): Minimum confidence for strong trend indication (0.1 to 1.0).
Bullish Projection Line Color (default: Green): Color for bullish projection line and label.
Bearish Projection Line Color (default: Red): Color for bearish projection line and label.
RSI Period (default: 14): Period for RSI momentum filter (minimum 5).
Label Vertical Offset (%) (default: 1.0): Base offset for labels as a percentage of price range (0.1% to 5.0%).
Minimum Label Spacing (%) (default: 2.0): Minimum vertical spacing between labels for tight projections (0.5% to 10.0%).
Usage Instructions
Add to Chart: Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, save, and add the indicator to your chart.
Select Timeframe: Apply to any timeframe (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) to match your trading strategy.
Interpret Outputs:
Green Line/Label: Bullish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bullish: 414.37, Confidence: 35%").
Red Line/Label: Bearish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bearish: 279.08, Confidence: 41.3%").
Higher confidence indicates a stronger likelihood of the projected outcome.
Adjust Inputs:
Modify Lookback Period to focus on shorter/longer historical trends (e.g., 20 for short-term, 100 for long-term).
Change Projection Bars to adjust forecast horizon (e.g., 10 for shorter, 50 for longer).
Tweak RSI Period or Confidence Threshold for sensitivity to momentum or trend strength.
Customize Colors for visual preference.
Increase Minimum Label Spacing if labels overlap in volatile markets.
Combine with Analysis: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., moving averages, Bollinger Bands) or fundamental analysis to confirm signals, as projections are probabilistic.
Example: TSLA Across Timeframes
Using live TSLA data (close ~346.46 USD, May 31, 2025), the indicator produces:
30-Minute: Bullish 341.93 (13.3%), Bearish 327.96 (86.7%) – Strong bearish sentiment due to intraday volatility.
1-Hour: Bullish 342.00 (33.9%), Bearish 327.50 (62.3%) – Bearish but less intense, reflecting hourly swings.
4-Hour: Bullish 345.52 (73.4%), Bearish 344.44 (19.0%) – Flat outlook, indicating consolidation.
Daily: Bullish 391.26 (68.8%), Bearish 302.22 (31.2%) – Bullish bias from recent uptrend, bearish tempered by longer lookback.
Weekly: Bullish 414.37 (35.0%), Bearish 279.08 (41.3%) – Wide range, reflecting annual volatility.
Monthly: Bullish 396.70 (54.9%), Bearish 296.93 (10.2%) – Long-term bullish optimism.
These results align with market dynamics: short-term intervals capture volatility, while longer intervals smooth trends, providing balanced outlooks.
Notes
Accuracy: Projections are estimates based on historical data and should be used with other analysis tools. Confidence levels indicate likelihood, not certainty.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Short-term intervals (e.g., 30-minute) show larger price swings and higher confidence due to volatility, while longer intervals (e.g., monthly) are more stable.
Customization: Adjust inputs to match your trading style (e.g., shorter lookback for day trading, longer for swing trading).
Performance: Tested on volatile stocks like TSLA, NVIDIA, and others, ensuring robust performance across markets.
Limitations: May produce conservative bearish projections in strong uptrends due to momentum weighting. Adjust lookback or projection_bars for sensitivity.
Feedback
If you encounter issues (e.g., label overlap, projection mismatches), please share your timeframe, settings, or a screenshot. Suggestions for enhancements (e.g., additional filters, visual tweaks) are welcome!

DTFX Algo Zones [LuxAlgo]DTFX Algo Zones are auto-generated Fibonacci Retracements based on market structure shifts.
These retracement levels are intended to be used as support and resistance levels to look for price to bounce off of to confirm direction.
🔶 USAGE
Due to the retracement levels only being generated from identified market structure shifts, the retracements are confined to only draw from areas considered more important due to the technical Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The simple action that causes a market structure shift occurs is price breaking above or below a specific swing point. When a market structure shift happens, a retracement is drawn from the point of break to the highest or lowest point since that point. Due to the price action necessary for a market structure shift, these retracements will not always be immediately actionable.
These retracement levels are intended to be used as points to watch for price to retrace to and bounce from, confirming the current direction of price.
In the example below, after the retracement is initiated, by bouncing off of the retracement levels formed from the previous market structure shift it would further confirm the bias of the market structure shift. A break going through these levels would display a weakness from the current market structure shift, implying that it could simply be noise.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses standard SMC Market structure identification to determine Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH). The specific swing points can be identified by the shapes placed above or below the specific swing high/low candle.
By unchecking the "Display All Zones" setting, users are able to specify the exact number of retracement zones to display using the "Show Last" parameter. This is handy for cleaning up the chart to stay focused on the most recent retracements.
Additionally, when displaying multiple zones, the "Clean-Up Level Overlap" setting may be helpful for decluttering as well. This option optimizes the display of retracement levels to minimize their overlap on other adjacent zones.
The script allows for up to 5 Fib levels to be displayed from each zone, with options for display, value, line style, and color for each of the 5.
The calculation for Fib Levels changes depending on the direction of market structure shifts. When an upwards (Bullish) zone is generated, the retracement is drawn with the bottom of the zone being 0 and the top of the zone being 1. This is reversed for downwards (Bearish) zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Structure Length: Sets the SMC structure length to use for finding MMS.
Show Last: Displays this number of retracement zones. (Display All Zones Must be Unchecked)
Display All Zones: Ignores "Show Last" number and displays all historical MMS Retracement Zones.
Zone Display: Choose which zones to display, only bearish, only bullish, or both.
Clean-Up Level Overlap: Minimizes overlap between adjacent zones and levels.
Fib Levels: Settings to display and customize up to 5 Fib levels for each zone.
Trend ScalperThe Trend Scalper is a simple EMA-based trend-following and scalping indicator designed to help traders identify potential long and short trading opportunities on any timeframe. It uses a three-EMA strategy to filter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend while refining entry signals based on price reactions to the EMAs.
Here’s how it works:
It calculates three Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with customizable lengths (default: 9, 21, and 89).
A long signal is generated when the EMAs align in bullish order (EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3) and the price low dips into the zone between EMA1 and EMA2. This indicates a pullback into short-term support while the broader trend remains bullish.
A short signal is generated when the EMAs align in bearish order (EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3) and the price high rises into the zone between EMA1 and EMA2. This indicates a pullback into resistance within a bearish trend.
The EMAs are plotted on the chart for visual guidance, while buy and sell signals are displayed as up and down triangles directly on price bars.
Best use practices:
The indicator works best as a trend continuation scalping tool, aiming to join established market direction after minor pullbacks.
It is most effective on liquid assets and in trending market conditions. Avoid relying on signals during sideways or choppy markets.
For confirmation, combine with volume, momentum oscillators, or higher timeframe trend analysis.
Risk management is critical: consider setting stop losses beyond EMA zones or recent swing highs/lows, and use take profits that match your risk-reward plan.
This indicator provides clean, rule-based signals that help traders time entries within the broader context of the trend. It is not a standalone strategy but a tool to assist in disciplined trade execution.
Visualizing Displacement [TFO]An easy and basic way to visualize displacement (energetic moves) in single bars/candles. This is determined by comparing the bar range (either from high to low, or from open to close) to its standard deviation over some specified length. The strength parameter applies some multiple to the standard deviation, which can help to filter out only the strongest indications of potential displacement.
Displacement is a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially when anticipating potential changes in trend. Although it's fairly easy to see "displacement candles" with large ranges, the bar coloring in this script can help remind us of who is in control (buyers or sellers) based on what side is creating those energetic moves most recently. Once we see signs of displacement, we can then apply concepts like premium/discount, order blocks, optimal trade entries, etc. to look for reasonable trade opportunities in the direction of the current trend.
A lack of displacement can be just as telling - if an effort to displace through a key swing high/low has failed, it's possible that a reversal may be underway.
