Consolidation Zones - LiveHello Traders!
This is the script that finds Consolidation Zones in Realtime.
How it works?
- The script finds highest/lowest bars by using "Loopback Period"
- Then it calculates direction
- By using the direction and highest/lowest bar info it calculates consolidation zones in realtime
- If the length of consolidation area is equal/greater than user-defined min length then this area is shown as consolidation zone
- Then Consolidation Zone extends automatically if there is no breakout
if you increase the Loopback Length then you get bigger consolidation zones:
You have option to "Paint Consolidation Area" or not:
Enjoy!

Bayesian BBSMA OscillatorSometime ago (very long ago), one of my tinkering project was to do a spam or ham classification type app to filter news I'd wanna read. So I built myself a Naive Bayes Classifier to feed me my relevant articles. It worked great, I can cut through the noise.
The hassle was I needed to manually train it to understand what I wanna read. I trained it using 50 articles and to my surprise, it's enough.
Complexity Theory
I've been reading a book called The Road to Ruin by Jim Rickards. He described how he got to his conclusion of how the stock market works by using Complexity Theory. Bill Williams would agree. Jim tells us that by using just enough data, we calculate the probability of an event to occur. We can't say for sure when but we know it's coming. This was my light bulb moment.
While Jim talks much about Bayesian Inference in which a probability of an event can always be updated as more evidence comes to light, I had my eyes set on binary probabilities of when prices are going up and down.
Assumptions
These are my assumptions:
Prices breaking up a Bollinger basis line will have fuel to go up even higher
Prices will go down when prices have broken up a Bollinger upper band
Scalping is the main method so we should use a lower period Moving Average (MA)
When prices are above MA, it's likelier a correction to the downside is imminent
When prices are below MA, it's likelier a correction to the upside is imminent
Optimize parameters for 1 hour timeframe which will give us time to react while still having more opportunities to trade
Building Blocks
Jim Rickards started with limited data (events) while in technical trading, data are plentiful. I decided to classify 2 events which are:
Next candles would be breaking up
Next candles would be breaking down
Key facts:
We won't know for sure when prices are going to break
We won't know for sure how much the prices movements are going to be
Formulas
Breaking up:
Pr(Up|Indicator) = Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up) / Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up) + Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down)
Breaking down:
Pr(Down|Indicator) = Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down) / Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down) + Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up)
Reading The Oscillator
Green is the probability of prices breaking up
Red is the probability of prices breaking down
When either green or red is flatlining ceiling, immediately on the next candle when the probability decreases go short or long based on which direction you're observing - Strong Signal
When either green or red is flatlining ceiling, take no action while it's ceiled
Usually when either green or red is flatlining bottom, the next candle when the probability increases, immediately take a short long position based on the direction you're observing - Weak Signal
When either green or red is flatlining bottom, take no action while it's bottomed

Opening Range Breakout LinesDisclaimer: Use proper risk management and remember that all trading involves risk.
Based on RicardoSantos' "Open Session Breakout Trader Strategy"
I turned it into a study and tweaked it for trading Silver
My goal when creating this was to help visualize breakout lines for multiple trading days at the same time without having to always draw them in.
Breakout Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy goes long when highs are broken and uses a trailing stop that follows swing lows. User can configure a back test date range and choose whether or not to only take trades above a selected moving average.
The desire for me to make this script was to try to capture those extreme breakouts that can occur after a consolidation/equilibrium pattern. This catches those using stop-buys as the entry. Out of all the scripts I have made thus far, this one is the one that has the best results. Time frames might vary due to commission structures, etc. I currently use this strategy on stocks on the 30-min time frame and crypto (with Coinbase's high fees) on the 2-hr time frame.
cATRpillerThis indicator is used to identify range breakouts using an ATR multiplier. My first script, Im sure there are indies out there like this, but this my favorite way to identify breakouts and trends.
ATR Break-Out - evoThis script measures candle length and average true range (ATR). A break out occurs when a candle is larger than the given ATR value. You can choose to calculate length from wicks or from the body (open & close).
You can use this as trend direction indicator by following the last break out candle or open a position after a break out with a stop just above or below the candle. Enjoy!
Ranged Candle Length - evoSimilar to one of my previous scripts 'Ranged Volume', but instead of using volume, this script uses candle length mirrored. It creates a range using highest and lowest of a given period. When the range gets larger, it means the current candle is bigger than the largest candle of your given period (break-out).
Yellow = Bullish break out
Red = Bearish break out
A good way to use this is to follow the direction of the last break-out candle or open a position with a stop just below or above the candle (that's how I tested it real time).
Good luck!
Renko AccelerationRenko is a very useful charting method for analyzing stock movement. It does a great job of filtering out all the excess noise so that all we're left with is pure price action. But, what about time? Time is a fundamental part of chart analysis and we are only seeing part of the picture. After all, shouldn't we take a very different approach to trading signals from a block that renders in 2 seconds as opposed to a block that renders in 30 minutes?
This indicator provides the best of both worlds, enabling us to correlate the passing of time with price movement and clearly see when squeezes and breakouts occur.
As the indicator turns up to green we can see that volatility is on the move and the market is accelerating (breakout), and as it turns down to red the market is stagnating (squeeze). There is also an alternate 'Precise' view which renders the exact time per block for more granular analysis.
Ranged Volume - evoA simple script that shows mirrored regular volume bars with the purpose to show break-outs and low volume ranges, using highest and lowest of a few bars back.
Use Heikin Ashi function to smooth the colors with the trend.
Force IndexWhat is the force index ?
The force index is an oscillator used to confirm price breakout strengths and identify potential trends.
It was popularized by A. Elder.
How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ) .
How to use the force index
An important change in the force index indicate a strong momentum in the price action.
You can read more about the force index interpretation on Investopedia
Customization
You can display the indicator as an histogram, or as a line chart.
You can change EMA length, although it's recommended to keep it at default value.
[PX] ADX BoxesHello guys,
today I would like to share an indicator that I had in my mind for quite some time. I call it ADX Boxes.
How does it work?
What the indicator does is very simple. Whenever the ADX falls below a certain threshold (which can be managed in the user input settings) a box will appear. The box will continue to grow as long as the ADX stays below the threshold. Once the ADX goes back above the threshold, the box will stop growing and will set its right border.
There are two modes, which can be used to determine the upper and lower border of the box. The first one is called "Extremes", which plots the borders the highest high and lowest low for the range below the threshold. The second one is called "Avg. High/Low", which plots the borders at the average high and average low within the range.
Furthermore, the indicator contains an option to show the average value of the detected range below the ADX threshold.
Just like all my other indicator scripts, this one comes with different styling options for boxes in progress, settled boxes and the average value.
Hopefully, some of you find it useful.
Make sure you leave a follow and a like :)
Happy trading!!
[RS]The Breakout IndicatorSignals when there is a breakout from the trading range(donchian channel up to 300 bars back).
Fractal Breakout StrategyFractal
A type of pattern used in technical analysis to predict a reversal in the current trend. A fractal pattern consists of five bars and is identified when the price meets the following characteristics:
1. A shift from a downtrend to an uptrend occurs when the lowest bar is located in the middle of the pattern and two bars with successively higher lows are positioned around it.
2. A shift from an uptrend to a downtrend occurs when the highest bar is located in the middle of the pattern and two bars with successively lower highs are positioned around it.
Pascal's 4h Compression BreakoutThis indicator aims to identify areas of price compression, by looking for two consecutive "inside candles" on the 4h chart.
An inside candle is simply when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low.
Once price compression is identified, the indicator draws a range based on the highest high and the lowest low of the two inside candles.
1) A break above the range is bullish.
2) A break below the range is bearish.
The script ALSO paints candles in blue that are likely to become strong horizontal S/R levels. This is, again, based on a candle pattern.
Please note:
1) This indicator is only meant to be used on BITMEX:XBTUSD (on the 4h or 1h chart).
2) You will have to apply some discretion to profitably trade with this indicator. Use SFPs and horizontal S/R levels to judge if a breakout is worth trading.
Finally, use the indicator at your own risk. I am not responsible for any losses you may incur.
My objective with this indicator g is to hopefully give you something that you can build upon, and NOT a script to blindly copy trade.
The concept of market compression is powerful. There are countless ways in which you can build a system around it.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Cheers.
ChannelsBreakoutThis script allows you to intercept price channel breakouts (Donchian channel) in a bullish perspective. Applicable both on Equities/ETFs and on Futures (Index Futures).
We open a position when closes crosses the upper channel. The trade ends with a trailing associated with a fast lower Donchian or a monetary stop loss.
It is an educational code and does not constitute a solicitation for public savings.
Reversal finderThis script is used to visually highlight candles which may signal a reversal following a false break of a support or resistance level.
Inputs are:
Lookback period: look for the highest high and the lowest low of the prior x bars.
SMA length: used for a simple moving average of the range (high minus low) of the prior x bars.
Range multiple: used to filter out signals for any bars with a range smaller than the average range of the preceding bars (determined by SMA length above) e.g. a range multiple of 2 will only show signals for bars with a range twice of that of the average range of the preceding bars.
Range threshold: used to filter signals for bars both the open and close of the bar are at the extreme end of the bar e.g. a threshold setting of 33% will only show buy signals for bars which open and close within the upper 1/3rd of the bar’s high/low range (vice versa for sell signals). This helps highlight, for example, bars with a high which exceeds resistance in a current range but which close back inside the range.
Highlight signal bars?: This will highlight bars with a buy signal in green, sell signal bars in red, and all other bars in grey. The script was designed for use with a dark background, so you will need to play around with the bar colours in the style settings to suit your preferences.
Settings used in the example chart are not the default – they are lookback: 5, SMA length: 20, range multiple: 1.2, range threshold: 33%.
Enjoy!
Trend Following BreakoutEasy Trend Following Strategy using Highs and Lows breakout of the last X candles to enter and exit trades.
You can easily change the ENTRY and EXIT value in order to find the best settings.
This strategy seems to be working well for $BTC and $ETH on the 4H and 1D.
I didn't play with it too much as I am testing script to trade on the 15 minutes chart with margin. This script can't do this successfully but I hope it can be helpful for what you want to achieve.

London Breakout with MDX Trailing StopThis indicator aims to aid in using the regular London Breakout strategy, as well as improve on it by adding a trailing stop based on the Mean Deviation Index.
The London Breakout strategy (according to my personal understanding) basically sees the morning before London open as the accumulation or distribution range for large buyers or sellers, and assumes the market will break either above that mornings high or below that mornings low when they start to move price. It is mostly used to trade stock indices and forex.
This indicator plots the morning high and low for each day. The green line is the morning high, and the red line is the morning low. If price moves above the green line (the morning high) it fills that area with a green color. If price moves below the green line (the morning low) it fills that area with a red color. This makes the breakouts easy to spot.
The background color of the chart turns green when the MDX is above 0 (price is more than X times ATR above the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The background color of the chart turns red when the MDX is below 0 (price is more than X times ATR below the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The default for X above is 1.0, but this can be changed in the settings by changing "ATR Multiplier".
The background is always neutral during the morning session since the morning high and morning low are not established yet.
A trailing stop is shown when price is more than X times away from the mean and a breakout has occured. The distance is set using the MDX. The trailing stop uses a separate ATR multiplier though, to make the signal and trailing stop MDX values different, if one likes. The default ATR multiplier for the trailing stop is 1.25, but this can be changed is the settings by changing "ATR multiplier for trailing stop".
When the high or low of a candle breaks the trailing stop, it is moved further away, indicating you have been stopped out, but gives opportunity to use it if you enter again (so it doesn't just disappear).
As an added bonus, take profit levels have been added based on the mornnig range. The take profit distance is set by multiplying the range with a factor. The levels are then plotted that distance from the morning high and morning low.

Donchain BreakoutIt is a long only strategy.
1. Buy when price breaks out of the upper band.
2. Exit has two options. Option 1 allows you to exit using lower band. Option 2 allows you to exit using basis line.
3. Slippage and commissions are not considered in the return calculation.
ATR-ranged Donch on 15min// This is a simple Mean Reversion & Breakout Indicator.
// A Donchian Channel is plotted. A threshold equal to 0.25 of Daily ATR.
// If price reverses from this threshold, then it can be taken as possible Mean Reversion.
// If price crosses the previous Donchian levels, it can be taken as a possible breakout.
// Typical of such strategy is the whipsaw effect when price movement is just flat.
// I have marked the region where the lower and higher thresholds are closer to be an indicative of whipsaw.
// But it is not really effective to avoid whipsaw.
BEST Long Term Levels Breakout ScreenerHello traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational serie one more time (#daft #punk #private #joke)
We don't have to wait for TradingView to allow screener based on custom indicator - we can build our own ^^
I - Long Terms concept
I had the idea from @scarff.
I think it's genius and I use this long terms level in my trading across all assets.
The screener, in particular, analyzes whenever the price breaks out a weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly level on candle close .
Triggering events on candle close = we get rid of the REPAINTING = we remove the fake signals (in that case the fake breakouts).
The candle close is based on the close of the current chart => if the chart displays candlesticks on the weekly timeframe, then the considered close will be the weekly close.
If in daily timeframe, the close will be .............................. 4h (#wrong)..... kidding :) .............. DAILY obviously
II - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: breakout of a high/low weekly level
- circle: breakout of a high/low monthly level
- diamond: breakout of a high/low quarterly level
- flag: breakout of a high/low yearly level
- dash: none of the above
Then the colors are:
- green when bullish
- red when bearish
- orange/dash when none of the above
Cool Hacks
"But sir... what can we do with only 3 instruments for a screener?" I agree not much but...
As said previously... you can add multiple times the same indicator on a chart :)
Wishing you all the BEST trading and.... wait for it... BEST weekend
Dave
