RSI For LoopTitle: RSI For Loop
SurgeQuant’s RSI with Threshold Colors and Bar Coloring indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to identify overbought and oversold conditions using a customizable Relative Strength Index (RSI). By averaging RSI over a user-defined lookback period, this indicator provides clear visual signals for bullish and bearish market conditions. The RSI line and price bars are dynamically colored to highlight momentum, making it easier for traders to spot potential trading opportunities.
How It Works
RSI Calculation:
Computes RSI based on a user-selected price source (Close, High, Low, or Open) with a configurable length (default: 5). Optional moving average smoothing refines the RSI signal for smoother analysis.
Lookback Averaging:
Averages the RSI over a user-defined lookback period (default: 5) to generate a stable momentum indicator, reducing noise and enhancing signal reliability.
Threshold-Based Signals:
Long Signal: Triggered when the averaged RSI exceeds the upper threshold (default: 52), indicating overbought conditions.
Short Signal: Triggered when the averaged RSI falls below the lower threshold (default: 48), indicating oversold conditions.
Visual Representation
The indicator provides a clear and customizable visual interface: Green RSI Line and Bars: Indicate overbought conditions when the averaged RSI surpasses the upper threshold, signaling potential long opportunities.
Red RSI Line and Bars: Indicate oversold conditions when the averaged RSI drops below the lower threshold, signaling potential short opportunities.
Neutral Gray RSI Line: Represents RSI values between thresholds for neutral market conditions.
Threshold Lines: Dashed gray lines mark the upper and lower thresholds on the RSI panel for easy reference.
Customization & Parameters
The RSI with Threshold Colors and Bar Coloring indicator offers flexible parameters to suit
various trading styles: Source: Select the input price (default: Close; options: Close, High, Low, Open).
RSI Length: Adjust the RSI calculation period (default: 5).
Smoothing: Enable/disable moving average smoothing (default: enabled) and set the smoothing length (default: 10).
Moving Average Type: Choose from multiple types (SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HMA, LSMA, ALMA; default: ALMA).
ALMA Sigma: Configure the ALMA smoothing parameter (default: 5).
Lookback Period: Set the period for averaging RSI (default: 5).
Thresholds: Customize the upper (default: 52) and lower (default: 48) thresholds for signal generation.
Color Settings: Transparent green and red colors (70% transparency) for bullish and bearish signals, with gray for neutral states.
Trading Applications
This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various markets and strategies: Momentum Trading: Highlights strong overbought or oversold conditions for potential entry or exit points.
Trend Confirmation: Use bar coloring to confirm RSI-based signals with price action on the main chart.
Reversal Detection: Identify potential reversals when RSI crosses the customizable thresholds.
Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust parameters (e.g., RSI length, lookback) to suit short-term or longer-term strategies.
Final Note
SurgeQuant’s RSI with Threshold Colors and Bar Coloring indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to leverage RSI for momentum and reversal opportunities. Its combination of lookback-averaged RSI, dynamic threshold signals, and synchronized RSI and bar coloring offers a robust framework for informed trading decisions. As with all indicators, backtest thoroughly and integrate into a comprehensive trading strategy for optimal results.
Chart patterns
log.info() - 5 Exampleslog.info() is one of the most powerful tools in Pine Script that no one knows about. Whenever you code, you want to be able to debug, or find out why something isn’t working. The log.info() command will help you do that. Without it, creating more complex Pine Scripts becomes exponentially more difficult.
The first thing to note is that log.info() only displays strings. So, if you have a variable that is not a string, you must turn it into a string in order for log.info() to work. The way you do that is with the str.tostring() command. And remember, it's all lower case! You can throw in any numeric value (float, int, timestamp) into str.string() and it should work.
Next, in order to make your output intelligible, you may want to identify whatever value you are logging. For example, if an RSI value is 50, you don’t want a bunch of lines that just say “50”. You may want it to say “RSI = 50”.
To do that, you’ll have to use the concatenation operator. For example, if you have a variable called “rsi”, and its value is 50, then you would use the “+” concatenation symbol.
EXAMPLE 1
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//@version=6
indicator("log.info()")
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
log.info(“RSI= ” + str.tostring(rsi))
Example Output =>
RSI= 50
Here, we use double quotes to create a string that contains the name of the variable, in this case “RSI = “, then we concatenate it with a stringified version of the variable, rsi.
Now that you know how to write a log, where do you view them? There isn’t a lot of documentation on it, and the link is not conveniently located.
Open up the “Pine Editor” tab at the bottom of any chart view, and you’ll see a “3 dot” button at the top right of the pane. Click that, and right above the “Help” menu item you’ll see “Pine logs”. Clicking that will open that to open a pane on the right of your browser - replacing whatever was in the right pane area before. This is where your log output will show up.
But, because you’re dealing with time series data, using the log.info() command without some type of condition will give you a fast moving stream of numbers that will be difficult to interpret. So, you may only want the output to show up once per bar, or only under specific conditions.
To have the output show up only after all computations have completed, you’ll need to use the barState.islast command. Remember, barState is camelCase, but islast is not!
EXAMPLE 2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//@version=6
indicator("log.info()")
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
if barState.islast
log.info("RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi))
plot(rsi)
However, this can be less than ideal, because you may want the value of the rsi variable on a particular bar, at a particular time, or under a specific chart condition. Let’s hit these one at a time.
In each of these cases, the built-in bar_index variable will come in handy. When debugging, I typically like to assign a variable “bix” to represent bar_index, and include it in the output.
So, if I want to see the rsi value when RSI crosses above 0.5, then I would have something like
EXAMPLE 3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//@version=6
indicator("log.info()")
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
bix = bar_index
rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,0.5)
if rsiCrossedOver
log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi))
plot(rsi)
Example Output =>
bix=19964 - RSI=51.8449459867
bix=19972 - RSI=50.0975830828
bix=19983 - RSI=53.3529808079
bix=19985 - RSI=53.1595745146
bix=19999 - RSI=66.6466337654
bix=20001 - RSI=52.2191767466
Here, we see that the output only appears when the condition is met.
A useful thing to know is that if you want to limit the number of decimal places, then you would use the command str.tostring(rsi,”#.##”), which tells the interpreter that the format of the number should only be 2 decimal places. Or you could round the rsi variable with a command like rsi2 = math.round(rsi*100)/100 . In either case you’re output would look like:
bix=19964 - RSI=51.84
bix=19972 - RSI=50.1
bix=19983 - RSI=53.35
bix=19985 - RSI=53.16
bix=19999 - RSI=66.65
bix=20001 - RSI=52.22
This would decrease the amount of memory that’s being used to display your variable’s values, which can become a limitation for the log.info() command. It only allows 4096 characters per line, so when you get to trying to output arrays (which is another cool feature), you’ll have to keep that in mind.
Another thing to note is that log output is always preceded by a timestamp, but for the sake of brevity, I’m not including those in the output examples.
If you wanted to only output a value after the chart was fully loaded, that’s when barState.islast command comes in. Under this condition, only one line of output is created per tick update — AFTER the chart has finished loading. For example, if you only want to see what the the current bar_index and rsi values are, without filling up your log window with everything that happens before, then you could use the following code:
EXAMPLE 4
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//@version=6
indicator("log.info()")
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
bix = bar_index
if barstate.islast
log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi))
Example Output =>
bix=20203 - RSI=53.1103309071
This value would keep updating after every new bar tick.
The log.info() command is a huge help in creating new scripts, however, it does have its limitations. As mentioned earlier, only 4096 characters are allowed per line. So, although you can use log.info() to output arrays, you have to be aware of how many characters that array will use.
The following code DOES NOT WORK! And, the only way you can find out why will be the red exclamation point next to the name of the indicator. That, and nothing will show up on the chart, or in the logs.
// CODE DOESN’T WORK
//@version=6
indicator("MW - log.info()")
var array rsi_arr = array.new()
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
bix = bar_index
rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,50)
if rsiCrossedOver
array.push(rsi_arr, rsi)
if barstate.islast
log.info("rsi_arr:" + str.tostring(rsi_arr))
log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi))
plot(rsi)
// No code errors, but will not compile because too much is being written to the logs.
However, after putting some time restrictions in with the i_startTime and i_endTime user input variables, and creating a dateFilter variable to use in the conditions, I can limit the size of the final array. So, the following code does work.
EXAMPLE 5
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
// CODE DOES WORK
//@version=6
indicator("MW - log.info()")
i_startTime = input.time(title="Start", defval=timestamp("01 Jan 2025 13:30 +0000"))
i_endTime = input.time(title="End", defval=timestamp("1 Jan 2099 19:30 +0000"))
var array rsi_arr = array.new()
dateFilter = time >= i_startTime and time <= i_endTime
rsi = ta.rsi(close,14)
bix = bar_index
rsiCrossedOver = ta.crossover(rsi,50) and dateFilter // <== The dateFilter condition keeps the array from getting too big
if rsiCrossedOver
array.push(rsi_arr, rsi)
if barstate.islast
log.info("rsi_arr:" + str.tostring(rsi_arr))
log.info("bix=" + str.tostring(bix) + " - RSI=" + str.tostring(rsi))
plot(rsi)
Example Output =>
rsi_arr:
bix=20210 - RSI=56.9030578034
Of course, if you restrict the decimal places by using the rounding the rsi value with something like rsiRounded = math.round(rsi * 100) / 100 , then you can further reduce the size of your array. In this case the output may look something like:
Example Output =>
rsi_arr:
bix=20210 - RSI=55.6947486019
This will give your code a little breathing room.
In a nutshell, I was coding for over a year trying to debug by pushing output to labels, tables, and using libraries that cluttered up my code. Once I was able to debug with log.info() it was a game changer. I was able to start building much more advanced scripts. Hopefully, this will help you on your journey as well.

All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

[eLm] 0-1-2# 📈 Market Structure Indicator – Counter System
This indicator dynamically analyzes price action to detect key market structure shifts and trend strength using four essential formations:
## 🔍 Detected Structures
- **Higher High (HH):** A candle forming a new high above recent peaks
- **Lower Low (LL):** A candle forming a new low below recent bottoms
- **Higher Low (HL):** A higher dip, indicating potential trend continuation
- **Lower High (LH):** A lower peak, signaling potential weakness
## 🧠 Structure Protection Logic
After a HH or LL is formed, if price does not breach that level within a user-defined number of candles, the level is considered **"protected."**
This provides insight into trend strength and market reaction.
## 🔢 HL / LH Counter System
- Each HL or LH increases a counter.
- A new HH or LL **resets** the corresponding counter to zero.
> This helps visualize how many consecutive HL or LH structures have occurred — useful for measuring trend momentum.
## 🎯 Use Cases
- Trend following and confirmation
- Early trend reversal detection
- Building structure-based trading strategies
- Understanding price behavior and market intent

GeeksDoByte 15m & 30m ORB + Prev Day High/LowCME_MINI:NQ1!
How It Works
Opening Ranges
At 9:30 ET, the script begins tracking the high & low.
It uses two fixed sessions:
15 min from 09:30 to 09:45
30 min from 09:30 to 10:00
On the very first bar of each session it initializes the range, then continuously updates the high/low on each new intraday bar.
Dashed lines are drawn when the session opens and extended horizontally across subsequent bars.
Previous Day’s Levels
Independently, it fetches yesterday’s high and low via a daily security call.
These historic levels are plotted as simple horizontal lines for daily context.
How to Use
Breakout Entries
A close above the 15 min ORB high can signal an early breakout; a further push above the 30 min ORB high confirms extended momentum.
Conversely, breaks below the respective lows can indicate short setups.
Support & Resistance
Yesterday’s high/low often act as magnet levels. If price is near the previous high when the opening ranges break, you get a confluence zone worth watching.
Trade Management
Combine the two opening-range levels to tier your stops or scale in.
For example, you might place an initial stop below the 15 min low and a wider stop below the 30 min low.

Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.

X HL QA market structure tool designed to frame price action within a defined context of prior session dynamics. It accomplishes this by anchoring a set of reference levels to the high, low, and open prices of a user-specified higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D, etc.) and projecting those levels onto the current chart for ongoing analysis.
At its core, the indicator establishes a reference range—derived from the previous completed instance of the selected timeframe—and overlays this on the current timeframe. This range serves as a foundational structure for price interpretation in the current session.
Building upon this framework, the script constructs a set of symmetrical quadrants (or deviation zones) both inside and outside of the prior range. These include:
The midpoint (EQ) of the prior range
Levels at ±0.25x, ±0.75x, ±1.0x, ±1.5x, and ±2.0x the range height
These levels act as contextual zones that traders can use to interpret price behavior—whether it's consolidating within the prior range, approaching fair value (EQ), or expanding into directional continuation or reversal zones beyond the range.
The script operates in both real-time and historical contexts. On live bars, it dynamically updates the key levels to provide an evolving view of current price positioning. Simultaneously, it supports the display of historical levels for past sessions, enabling robust backtesting and comparative analysis of price behavior relative to previous quadrant structures.
Ultimately, this tool serves as a positional map, helping traders assess where price is trading relative to significant levels from the prior session, offering insights into potential support/resistance, overextension, or mean reversion scenarios.
Key Technical Features
Multi-Timeframe Support:
request.security() is used to pull data from a user-defined higher timeframe regardless of the current chart interval.
Visual Flexibility:
Toggle between "line" and "channel" mode.
Line color, width, and visibility are all user-controlled.
Anchoring Options:
Deviation levels can be calculated from either the previous period's open or its EQ (midpoint), giving flexibility depending on analytical preference.
Efficient Labeling:
Labels are only rendered on the last bar and are automatically cleared and redrawn to prevent duplication.
Label style, size, text color, and background color are all user-configurable.
Trading Application
This indicator is especially suited for:
1. Mean Reversion Strategies
When price moves beyond +1.0 or +1.5 deviations from the EQ or open, it may signal overextension and a potential snap back to the midpoint or range.
2. Breakout Confirmation
Sustained price action beyond ±1.0 levels may indicate trend strength or continuation beyond historical balance zones.
3. Contextual Range Awareness
EQ and Open provide structure from which traders can judge whether price is in a state of balance or imbalance.
Labels offer at-a-glance interpretation of key levels across any chosen timeframe.
4. Fractal and Multi-Session Analysis
Analysts can layer daily, weekly, and monthly versions of this indicator to observe confluence or divergence of higher timeframe structure.
Boomerang Trading Indicator# Boomerang News Trading Indicator
## Overview
The Boomerang Trading Indicator is designed to identify potential reversal opportunities following major economic news releases. This indicator analyzes the initial market reaction to news events and provides visual cues for potential counter-trend trading opportunities based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
## How It Works
### News Event Detection
- Automatically detects major news release times (NFP, CPI, FOMC, etc.)
- Analyzes the first significant price movement following news releases
- Requires minimum candle size threshold to filter out weak reactions
### First Move Analysis
The indicator employs multiple analytical methods to determine the initial market direction:
**Simple Analysis (High Confidence):**
- When the news candle has ≥70% body-to-total ratio, uses straightforward bullish/bearish classification
**Advanced Analysis (Complex Cases):**
- Volume-weighted direction analysis
- Momentum and wick pattern analysis
- Market structure and gap analysis
- Weighted voting system combining all methods
### Entry Signal Generation
Based on the "boomerang" concept where markets often reverse after initial news reactions:
**For Bullish First Moves (Price Up Initially):**
- Generates SHORT entry signals when price retraces to 1.25-1.5 Fibonacci levels
- Visual: Red triangles above price bars
**For Bearish First Moves (Price Down Initially):**
- Generates LONG entry signals when price retraces to -0.25 to -0.5 Fibonacci levels
- Visual: Green triangles below price bars
## Key Features
### Visual Elements
- **Fibonacci Levels**: Displays key retracement levels based on the initial reaction range
- **Entry Zones**: Clear visual marking of optimal entry areas
- **Direction Arrows**: Shows the initial market reaction direction
- **Target Levels**: Displays profit target zones at 50% and 100% retracement levels
### Information Panel
Real-time display showing:
- Current setup status
- First move direction and body percentage
- Recommended trade direction
- Key price levels (reaction high/low)
- Profit targets with historical success rates
### Alert System
- Pre-news warnings (customizable timing)
- News event notifications
- Setup activation alerts
- Entry signal notifications
### Success Tracking
- Visual "BOOM!" animations when targets are hit
- Target 1 (50% level): ~95% historical success rate
- Target 2 (Main target): ~80% historical success rate
## Configuration Options
### Time Settings
- News release hour and minute (customizable for different events)
- Pre-news alert timing
- Setup duration (default 60 bars after news)
### Fibonacci Levels
- Adjustable retracement percentages
- Customizable target levels
- Mid-level importance weighting
### Risk Management
- Minimum reaction candle size filter
- Maximum risk point setting
- Visual risk/reward display
### Display Options

## Applicable News Events
This indicator is designed for high-impact economic releases:
- Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) - First Friday, 8:30 AM ET
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) - Monthly, 8:30 AM ET
- Producer Price Index (PPI) - Monthly, 8:30 AM ET
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - Quarterly, 8:30 AM ET
- FOMC Interest Rate Decisions - 8 times yearly, 2:00 PM ET
## Trading Strategy Framework
### Core Principle
Markets often overreact to news initially, then reverse toward more rational price levels. This "boomerang effect" creates short-term trading opportunities.
### Entry Strategy
1. Wait for significant initial reaction (>10 points minimum)
2. Identify the initial direction using multi-factor analysis
3. Trade opposite to the initial reaction when price reaches sweet spot zones
4. Use Fibonacci retracement levels as entry triggers
### Risk Management
- Always use appropriate position sizing
- Set stop losses beyond recent swing levels
- Consider market volatility and news importance
- Monitor for setup invalidation signals
## Important Notes
### Educational Purpose
This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes. Users should:
- Thoroughly test strategies in demo environments
- Understand the risks involved in news trading
- Consider market conditions and volatility
- Use proper risk management techniques
### Market Considerations
- High volatility during news events increases both opportunity and risk
- Spreads may widen significantly during news releases
- Different brokers may have varying execution conditions
- Economic calendar timing may vary between sources
### Limitations
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Market conditions can change, affecting strategy effectiveness
- News events may have unexpected outcomes affecting normal patterns
- Technical analysis should be combined with fundamental analysis
## Version Information

X PD&FVVisualizes the price's premium or discount relative to a moving average benchmark, highlighting mean-reversion and trend-continuation opportunities. While the underlying math is simple, the application is nuanced and can enhance decision-making in both trending and ranging market conditions.
Core Logic:
This tool calculates a custom **spread value**, defined as the distance between the current price and a chosen exponential moving average (EMA). Specifically:
When the current price is **above** the EMA, the spread is calculated as `low - EMA`.
When the price is **below** the EMA, the spread is calculated as `high - EMA`.
This approach creates a dynamic spread that reflects deviation from the EMA, with histogram bars:
Green when the spread is positive (suggesting a price premium),
Red when the spread is negative (suggesting a discount).
A secondary EMA (default 9-period) is applied to the spread itself, plotted as a smoother line over the histogram. This "EMA of spread" line can be interpreted as a moving reference level for detecting directional shifts in momentum.
Interpretation:
Zero Line = Fair Value: The horizontal zero axis represents equilibrium relative to the moving average. Movement toward or away from this line signals potential shifts in market bias.
Trend Following Use: In trending markets, traders can:
Buy when the spread dips below its EMA (discount within uptrend),
Sell when the spread rises above its EMA (premium within downtrend).
Mean Reversion Use: A return to the zero line (fair value) often acts as an **inflection point**, which traders can monitor for either:
Trend continuation (bounce away from zero), or
Reversal (cross through zero).
Customization:
EMA length (default 50) is adjustable to fit different timeframes or asset volatility.

Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1# Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 - Complete Description
Overview
The Multi-Confluence Swing Hunter V1 is a sophisticated low timeframe scalping strategy specifically optimized for MSTR (MicroStrategy) trading. This strategy employs a comprehensive point-based scoring system that combines optimized technical indicators, price action analysis, and reversal pattern recognition to generate precise trading signals on lower timeframes.
Performance Highlight:
In backtesting on MSTR 5-minute charts, this strategy has demonstrated over 200% profit performance, showcasing its effectiveness in capturing rapid price movements and volatility patterns unique to MicroStrategy's trading behavior.
The strategy's parameters have been fine-tuned for MSTR's unique volatility characteristics, though they can be optimized for other high-volatility instruments as well.
## Key Innovation & Originality
This strategy introduces a unique **dual scoring system** approach:
- **Entry Scoring**: Identifies swing bottoms using 13+ different technical criteria
- **Exit Scoring**: Identifies swing tops using inverse criteria for optimal exit timing
Unlike traditional strategies that rely on simple indicator crossovers, this system quantifies market conditions through a weighted scoring mechanism, providing objective, data-driven entry and exit decisions.
## Technical Foundation
### Optimized Indicator Parameters
The strategy utilizes extensively backtested parameters specifically optimized for MSTR's volatility patterns:
**MACD Configuration (3,10,3)**:
- Fast EMA: 3 periods (vs standard 12)
- Slow EMA: 10 periods (vs standard 26)
- Signal Line: 3 periods (vs standard 9)
- **Rationale**: These faster parameters provide earlier signal detection while maintaining reliability, particularly effective for MSTR's rapid price movements and high-frequency volatility
**RSI Configuration (21-period)**:
- Length: 21 periods (vs standard 14)
- Oversold: 30 level
- Extreme Oversold: 25 level
- **Rationale**: The 21-period RSI reduces false signals while still capturing oversold conditions effectively in MSTR's volatile environment
**Parameter Adaptability**: While optimized for MSTR, these parameters can be adjusted for other high-volatility instruments. Faster-moving stocks may benefit from even shorter MACD periods, while less volatile assets might require longer periods for optimal performance.
### Scoring System Methodology
**Entry Score Components (Minimum 13 points required)**:
1. **RSI Signals** (max 5 points):
- RSI < 30: +2 points
- RSI < 25: +2 points
- RSI turning up: +1 point
2. **MACD Signals** (max 8 points):
- MACD below zero: +1 point
- MACD turning up: +2 points
- MACD histogram improving: +2 points
- MACD bullish divergence: +3 points
3. **Price Action** (max 4 points):
- Long lower wick (>50%): +2 points
- Small body (<30%): +1 point
- Bullish close: +1 point
4. **Pattern Recognition** (max 8 points):
- RSI bullish divergence: +4 points
- Quick recovery pattern: +2 points
- Reversal confirmation: +4 points
**Exit Score Components (Minimum 13 points required)**:
Uses inverse criteria to identify swing tops with similar weighting system.
## Risk Management Features
### Position Sizing & Risk Control
- **Single Position Strategy**: 100% equity allocation per trade
- **No Overlapping Positions**: Ensures focused risk management
- **Configurable Risk/Reward**: Default 5:1 ratio optimized for volatile assets
### Stop Loss & Take Profit Logic
- **Dynamic Stop Loss**: Based on recent swing lows with configurable buffer
- **Risk-Based Take Profit**: Calculated using risk/reward ratio
- **Clean Exit Logic**: Prevents conflicting signals
## Default Settings Optimization
### Key Parameters (Optimized for MSTR/Bitcoin-style volatility):
- **Minimum Entry Score**: 13 (ensures high-conviction entries)
- **Minimum Exit Score**: 13 (prevents premature exits)
- **Risk/Reward Ratio**: 5.0 (accounts for volatility)
- **Lower Wick Threshold**: 50% (identifies true hammer patterns)
- **Divergence Lookback**: 8 bars (optimal for swing timeframes)
### Why These Defaults Work for MSTR:
1. **Higher Score Thresholds**: MSTR's volatility requires more confirmation
2. **5:1 Risk/Reward**: Compensates for wider stops needed in volatile markets
3. **Faster MACD**: Captures momentum shifts quickly in fast-moving stocks
4. **21-period RSI**: Reduces noise while maintaining sensitivity
## Visual Features
### Score Display System
- **Green Labels**: Entry scores ≥10 points (below bars)
- **Red Labels**: Exit scores ≥10 points (above bars)
- **Large Triangles**: Actual trade entries/exits
- **Small Triangles**: Reversal pattern confirmations
### Chart Cleanliness
- Indicators plotted in separate panes (MACD, RSI)
- TP/SL levels shown only during active positions
- Clear trade markers distinguish signals from actual trades
## Backtesting Specifications
### Realistic Trading Conditions
- **Commission**: 0.1% per trade

**Important Disclaimer**: This strategy is designed for experienced scalpers and is optimized for MSTR trading. The high-frequency nature of scalping involves significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own analysis, consider your risk tolerance, and be aware of commission/slippage costs that can significantly impact scalping profitability.
Volume Overbought/Oversold Zones📊 What You’ll See on the Chart
Red Background or Red Triangle ABOVE a Candle
🔺 Means: Overbought Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much higher than average (as defined by your settings).
→ Suggests strong activity, possible exhaustion in the trend or an emotional spike.
→ It’s a warning: consider watching for signs of reversal, especially if price is already stretched.
Green Background or Green Triangle BELOW a Candle
🔻 Means: Oversold Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much lower than normal.
→ Suggests the market may be losing momentum, or few sellers are left.
→ Could signal an upcoming reversal or recovery if confirmed by price action.
Orange Line Below the Candles (Volume Moving Average)
📈 Shows the "normal" average volume over the last X candles (default is 20).
→ Helps you visually compare each bar’s volume to the average.
Gray Columns (Actual Volume Bars)
📊 These are your regular volume bars — they rise and fall based on how active each candle is.
🔍 What This Indicator Does (In Simple Words)
This indicator looks at trading volume—which is how many shares/contracts were traded in a given period—and compares it to what's considered "normal" for recent history. When volume is unusually high or low, it highlights those moments on the chart.
It tells you:
• When volume is much higher than normal → market might be overheated or experiencing a buying/selling frenzy.
• When volume is much lower than normal → market might be quiet, potentially indicating lack of interest or indecision.
These conditions are marked visually, so you can instantly spot them.
💡 How It Helps You As a Trader
1. Spotting Exhaustion in Trends (Overbought Signals)
If a market is going up and suddenly volume spikes way above normal, it may mean:
• The move is getting crowded (lots of buyers are already in).
• A reversal or pullback could be near because smart money may be taking profits.
Trading idea: Wait for high-volume up bars, then look for price weakness to consider a short or exit.
2. Identifying Hidden Opportunities (Oversold Signals)
If price is falling but volume drops unusually low, it might mean:
• Panic is fading.
• Sellers are losing energy.
• A bounce or trend reversal could happen soon.
Trading idea: After a volume drop in a downtrend, watch for bullish price patterns or momentum shifts to consider a buy.
3. Confirming or Doubting Breakouts
Volume is critical for confirming breakouts:
• If price breaks a key level with strong volume, it's more likely to continue.
• A breakout without volume could be a fake-out.
This indicator highlights volume surges that can help you confirm such moves.
📈 How to Use It in Practice
• Combine it with candlestick patterns, support/resistance, or momentum indicators.
• Use the background colors or shapes as a visual cue to pause and analyze.
• Adjust the sensitivity to suit fast-moving markets (like crypto) or slow ones (like large-cap stocks).
Closed Market / Back-Test Filter x 'Bull_Trap_9'Hello TradingView Traders!
This is a very valuable tool that I believe all traders will find useful.
This indicator / filter is '1 of 2'. I prefer it as a filter because it is not meant for live trade analysis. It is designed to make a trader aware of their individual trade sessions and to help aid in static chart candlestick back-testing.
Also, look for my indicator / filter, '2 of 2': 'Red Report Filter'
There are two functions to this filter.
Primary use: It allows a trader to set a session window: Open / Close.
During a trade session, like YM, I only trade 9:30 - 15:00. Without the filter, many times I have traded past my cutoff because I was focused on the chart and not the time.
With this filter on as close nears with an open trade and the filter starts to apply, I know I am at session close with no more trades upon exit. Otherwise, I know the session is done with no further trades.
It is also nice to have the filter on during the session open as a demarcation boundary.
Secondary use: It is used as a chart back-test tool.
When applied to a traders back-test chart, the trader can control their trade session envelopes for easier and more precise evaluation. The filter will allow only the candles per session that the trader wants to focus on and will filter all other non-session candles.
I can easily compare a whole week of 30m session data, concentrating solely on the filtered trade windows.
Please Note: The filter will be active as far back as the historic data prints.
Thanks for viewing!
