Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman) is a precision-engineered trend-following system that visualizes discrete trend progression using volatility-scaled step logic. It replaces traditional slope-based tracking with clearly defined “trend steps,” capturing directional momentum only when price action decisively confirms a shift through an ATR-based trigger.
This tool is ideal for traders who prefer structured, stair-step progression over fluid curves, and value the clarity of momentum-based bands that reveal breakout conviction, pullback retests, and consolidation zones. The channel width adapts automatically to market volatility, while the step logic filters out noise and false flips.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
This indicator is built on a core market structure observation:
After each strong trend impulse, the market typically enters a “cooling-off” phase as profit-taking occurs and counter-trend participants enter. This often results in a shallow pullback or stall, creating a slight negative slope in an uptrend (or a positive slope in a downtrend).
These “cooling-off” phases don’t reverse the trend — they signal temporary pressure before the next leg continues. By tracking trend steps discretely and filtering for this behavior, Trend Impulse Channels helps traders align with the rhythm of impulse → pause → impulse.
█ How It Works
⚪ Step-Based Trend Engine
At the heart of this tool is a dynamic step engine that progresses only when price crosses a predefined ATR-scaled trigger level:
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) – Defines how far price must break beyond the current trend state to register a new trend step.
Step Size (Volatility-Guided) – Each trend continuation moves the trend line in discrete units, scaling with ATR and trend persistence.
Trend Direction State – Maintains a +1/-1 internal bias to support directional filters and step tracking.
⚪ Volatility-Adaptive Channel
Each step is wrapped inside a dynamic envelope scaled to current volatility:
Upper and Lower Bands – Derived from ATR and band multipliers to expand/contract as volatility changes.
⚪ Retest Signal System
Optional signal markers show when price re-tests the upper or lower band:
Upper Retest → Pullback into resistance during a bearish trend.
Lower Retest → Pullback into support during a bullish trend.
⚪ Trend Step Signals
Circular markers can be shown to mark each time the trend steps forward, making it easy to identify structurally significant moments of continuation within a larger trend.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Alignment
Use the Trend Line and Step Markers to visually confirm the direction of momentum. If multiple trend steps occur in sequence without reversal, this typically signals strong conviction and trend persistence.
⚪ Retest-Based Entries
Wait for pullbacks into the channel and monitor for triangle retest signals. When used in confluence with trend direction, these offer high-quality continuation setups.
⚪ Breakouts
Look for breakouts beyond the upper or lower band after a longer period of pause. For higher likelihood of success, look for breakouts in the direction of the trend.
█ Settings
Trigger Threshold (× ATR) - Defines how far price must move to register a new trend step. Controls sensitivity to trend flips.
Max Step Size (× ATR) - Caps how far each trend step can extend. Prevents runaway step expansion in high volatility.
Band Multiplier (× ATR) - Expands the upper and lower channels. Controls how much breathing room the bands allow.
Trend Hold (bars) - Minimum number of bars the trend must remain active before allowing a flip. Helps reduce noise.
Filter by Trend - Restrict retest signals to those aligned with the current trend direction.

Keltner Channel Strategy by Kevin DaveyKeltner Channel Strategy Description
The Keltner Channel Strategy is a volatility-based trading approach that uses the Keltner Channel, a technical indicator derived from the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Average True Range (ATR). The strategy helps identify potential breakout or mean-reversion opportunities in the market by plotting upper and lower bands around a central EMA, with the channel width determined by a multiplier of the ATR.
Components:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
The EMA smooths price data by placing greater weight on recent prices, allowing traders to track the market’s underlying trend more effectively than a simple moving average (SMA). In this strategy, a 20-period EMA is used as the midline of the Keltner Channel.
2. Average True Range (ATR):
The ATR measures market volatility over a 14-period lookback. By calculating the average of the true ranges (the greatest of the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, or the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close), the ATR captures how much an asset typically moves over a given period.
3. Keltner Channel:
The upper and lower boundaries are set by adding or subtracting 1.5 times the ATR from the EMA. These boundaries create a dynamic range that adjusts with market volatility.
Trading Logic:
• Long Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the closing price falls below the lower Keltner Channel, indicating a potential buying opportunity at a support level.
• Short Entry Condition: The strategy enters a short position when the closing price exceeds the upper Keltner Channel, signaling a potential selling opportunity at a resistance level.
The strategy plots the upper and lower Keltner Channels and the EMA on the chart, providing a visual representation of support and resistance levels based on market volatility.
Scientific Support for Volatility-Based Strategies:
The use of volatility-based indicators like the Keltner Channel is supported by numerous studies on price momentum and volatility trading. Research has shown that breakout strategies, particularly those leveraging volatility bands such as the Keltner Channel or Bollinger Bands, can be effective in capturing trends and reversals in both trending and mean-reverting markets  .

United HUN CityPurpose and Usage
The purpose of this strategy is to create a composite indicator that combines the signals from the MFI, Fisher Transform, and Bollinger Bands %b indicators. By normalizing and averaging these indicators, the script aims to provide a smoother and more comprehensive signal that can be used to make trading decisions.
MFI (Money Flow Index): Measures buying and selling pressure based on price and volume.
Fisher Transform: Highlights potential reversal points by transforming price data to a Gaussian normal distribution.
Bollinger Bands %b: Indicates where the price is relative to the Bollinger Bands, helping to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
The combined indicator can be used to identify potential buy or sell signals based on the smoothed composite value. For instance, a high combined indicator value might indicate overbought conditions, while a low value might indicate oversold conditions.

Trending RSI [ChartPrime]Trending RSI takes a new approach to RSI intended to provide all of the missing information that traditional RSI lacks. Questions such as "why does the price continue to decline even during an oversold period?" can be aided using the Trending RSI.
These types of movements are due to the market still trending and traditional RSI can not tell traders this. Trending RSI fixes this by introducing trend information back into the oscillator. By reverse engineering RSI we have been able to make a new indicator that is no longer bound between 0 and 100. Instead it provides the traditional 70 and 30 zones as bands, and 50 as a center line that still represent these zones perfectly. This transforms RSI into a centered oscillator instead of a normalized oscillator. When the market is trending our indicator represents this as the center line being below or above 0. Just like MACD the center line is colored to represent the market phases. This helps in identifying reversals more clearly by adding a layer of confluence to the already renowned RSI. We have also included a novel filtering technique that has a low lag to smoothing ratio. This is primarily used to smooth the bands by default but you can also utilize this on the RSI. Several alerts have been included to provide users with easy to configure signals.
You can use the center line as a directional filter for your trades by only picking trades in the direction of the center line. When the center line is above 0, the market is trending up. Conversely, when the center line is below 0 the market is trending down trend. Use the polarity of the center line to estimate the strength of retracements from the oversold and overbought zones. We have also included a special moving average to help you find the momentum of a move. The Binomial MA filter approximates a normal curve making it similar to a gaussian filter. We have also included standard divergences which are fully configurable in the settings. Finally, we have built this indicator to be compatible with the built in multi time frame option to allow users to freely pick the time frame they wish to use. It is worth noting that due to the limitations of the standard MTF implementation divergences will not plot as expected when using time frames outside of the charts time frame. This is standard and also affects the built in RSI.
All of the colors are fully adjustable with the option to enable or disable the glow effect. We have also designed this indicator to only display the information for plots that are enabled to reduce clutter and provide a cleaner charting experience. All alerts are built to work with the standard alert builder and do not have to be enabled or disabled inside of the indicator.
Included Alerts:
RSI Cross Over Center
RSI Cross Under Center
RSI Cross Under Upper Range
RSI Cross Over Upper Range
RSI Cross Over Lower Range
RSI Cross Under Lower Range
RSI Cross Over MA
RSI Cross Under MA
RSI Cross Over 0
RSI Cross Under 0
Center Cross Over 0
Center Cross Under 0
Center Bullish
Center Bearish
Bullish Divergence
Bearish Divergence
In wrapping up, the Trending RSI aims to enhance the conventional RSI by adding trend insights directly into the oscillator, addressing the gap that traditional RSI leaves regarding market trends. This version of RSI breaks away from the 0 to 100 range, offering bands and a center line that better represent market conditions. It includes a set of features like the Binomial MA for momentum analysis, configurable settings for divergence detection, and compatibility with multi-time frame analysis. The color customization and glow effects aim to improve visual clarity, and the inclusion of alerts is designed to streamline alert configuration. Overall, this indicator is designed to provide a more view of the markets, suitable for traders looking to incorporate trend analysis into their RSI-based strategies.

Bollinger and Stochastic with Trailing Stop - D.M.P.This trading strategy combines Bollinger Bands and the Stochastic indicator to identify entry opportunities in oversold and overbought conditions in the market. The aim is to capitalize on price rebounds from the extremes defined by the Bollinger Bands, with the confirmation of the Stochastic to maximize the probability of success of the operations.
Indicators Used
- Bollinger Bands Used to measure volatility and define oversold and overbought levels. When the price touches or breaks through the lower band, it indicates a possible oversold condition. Similarly, when it touches or breaks through the upper band, it indicates a possible overbought condition.
- Stochastic: A momentum oscillator that compares the closing price of an asset with its price range over a certain period. Values below 20 indicate oversold, while values above 80 indicate overbought.
Strategy Logic
- Long Entry (Buy): A purchase operation is executed when the price closes below the lower Bollinger band (indicating oversold) and the Stochastic is also in the oversold zone.
- Short Entry (Sell): A sell operation is executed when the price closes above the upper Bollinger band (indicating overbought) and the Stochastic is in the overbought zone.
Confluence Buy-Sell Indicator with Fibonacci The script is a "Confluence Indicator with Fibonacci" designed to work on the TradingView platform. This indicator combines multiple technical analysis strategies to generate buy and sell signals based on user-defined confluence criteria. Here's a breakdown of its features:
Confluence Criteria: Users can enable or disable various strategies like MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Divergence, Fibonacci, and Moving Average. The number of strategies that need to align for a signal to be generated can be set by the user.
Strategies Included:
MACD Strategy: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence method to identify buy/sell opportunities.
RSI Strategy: Utilizes the Relative Strength Index to detect overbought or oversold conditions.
Bollinger Bands Strategy: Incorporates Bollinger Bands to identify volatility and potential buy/sell signals.
Divergence Strategy: A basic implementation that detects bullish and bearish divergences using the RSI.
Fibonacci Strategy: Uses Fibonacci retracement levels to determine potential support and resistance levels.
Moving Average Strategy: Employs a crossover system between the 50-period and 200-period simple moving averages.
Additional Features:
Support & Resistance: Identifies major support and resistance levels from the last 50 bars.
Pivot Points: Calculates pivot points to determine potential turning points.

Visualization: Plots buy and sell signals on the chart with green and red markers respectively.
Adequate Category:
"Technical Analysis Indicators & Overlays" or "Strategy & Scripting Tools".
BB Support & ResistanceChoosing support and resistance can be time consuming and subjective. Personally, I don't want to spend too much time manually marking up charts. Credit to video I saw, forget the producer, that demonstrated how multi-time frame Bollinger Bands can act as support and resistance. I suggest reading up on Bollinger Bands (en.wikipedia.org) and how to trade them. This indicator draws support and resistance lines based on Bollinger Bands on three time frames. You can select 1 or all three time frames to display on your chart. Enjoy.
Trend Gaussian Channels [DeltaAlgo]This Script Introduces The Use Of The Gaussian Channel Concepts
This indicator consists of three lines: a central line that represents the moving average, and an upper and lower band that represent the volatility of the price movements.
The Gaussian channels is a concept consists of an upper & lower bands along with the basis; the mid band. The use of the Gaussian bands are simple, as described below.👇
Use Case:
There are many ways the Gaussian channel indicator can be used!
1. Look for the price to touch or cross the upper/lower bands of the Gaussian Channel Indicator. This indicates that the price has reached an high level of volatility. a reversal or correction may be imminent.
2. Wait for confirmation of the potential reversal or correction. This can be in the form of a bearish or bullish candlestick pattern, or a signal from another technical indicator.
a. For this reason I have implemented some signals that indicate trend shifts & candle colors to clearly display the switching between a bullish sentiment or bearish.
3. Enter a trade in the direction of the reversal or correction. For example, if the price touches the upper band and a bearish candlestick pattern occurs or if you get a bearish signal, enter a short trade. If the price touches the lower band and indicates bullish candlestick pattern or bullish signal, enter a long trade.
Sometimes this band can act as a support & resistance, THIS is not always the case as it is not meant to be used as support & resistance.
[dharmatech] KBDR Mean ReversionBased on the criteria described in the book "Mean Revision Trading" by Nishant Pant.
Bullish signal criteria:
Bollinger Bands must be outside Keltner Channel
Price near bottom bband
DI+ increasing
DI- decreasing
RSI near bottom and increasing
Bearish signal criteria:
Bollinger Bands must be outside Keltner Channel
Price near upper bband
DI+ decreasing
DI- increasing
RSI near upper and decreasing
A single triangle indicates that all 4 criteria are met.
If letters appear with the triangle, this indicates that there was a partial criteria match.
K : bbands outside Keltner
B : bbands criteria met
D : DI criteria met
R : RSI criteria met
You can use the settings to turn off partial signals. For example:
"Partial 3" means show signals where 3 of the criteria are met.
If you want more insight into the underlying criteria, load these indicators as well:
Bollinger Bands (built-in to TradingView)
Keltner Channels (built-in to TradingView)
RSI (built-in to TradingView)
ADX and DI
Warning:
Not meant to be used as a stand-alone buy/sell signal.
It regularly provides signals which would not be profitable.
It's meant to be used in conjunction with other analysis.
Think of this as a time-saving tool. Instead of manually checking RSI, DI+/DI-, bbands, distance, etc. this does all of that for you on the fly.
Nadaraya-Watson Envelope: Modified by YosietRange Filter indicator based on the LuxAlgo Nadaraya-Watson Envelope () indicator adding the SMA 30 high and SMA 7 low to predict the changes of the trends lines price.
WARNING: This indicator, as the same as the original, repaints the chart and could affect the exact values of the prices.
SMA Low 7 was identified using tensorflowJS years ago as accurate and abstract rsi indicator
SMA High 30 was identified using tensorflowJS years ago as accurate and strong trend line
This two SMAs were added to the original indicator Nadaraya-Watson to predict the exact points where the price will change direction or will re-test the trend to continue on.
The signals will act as the Williams Fractals, replacing the original signals of the indicator.
For those ICT/SMC traders, the bands and SMAs can toggle off in the settings of this indicator.
SETTINGS
Can set the source of the UPPER band indivuadilly
Can set the source of the LOWER band indivuadilly
Can toggle the visibility of the bands, this will not affect the calculations
Can toggle the visibility of SMAs
ALERTS AND SIGNALS
When the SMA LOW 7 cross under or over the bands, will trigger a signal orange
When the SMA 30 High cross over the upper band, will trigger a short signal purpple
HOW TO USE IT
If the both signals appears (sma 7 low and sma 30 high) crossing the upper band at the same point, this means that the price will drop strongly.
If the sma 7 low cross signal (orange triangle) appears under the price and lower band, means that the price will go up.
The separation of the signals from the chart will suggest the force of the movement. While more distance be, strongest reaction of the price.

Bitcoin wave modelBitcoin wave model is based on the logarithmic regression model and the sinusoidal waves, induced by the halving events.
This chart presents the outcome of an in-depth analysis of the complete set of Bitcoin price data available from October 2009 to August 2023.
The central concept is that the logarithm of the Bitcoin price closely adheres to the logarithmic regression model. If we plot the logarithm of the price against the logarithm of time, it forms a nearly straight line.
The parameters of this model are provided in the script as follows: log (BTCUSD) = 1.48 + 5.44log(h).
The secondary concept involves employing the inherent time unit of Bitcoin instead of days:
'h' denotes a slightly adjusted time measurement intrinsic to the Bitcoin blockchain. It can be approximated as (days since the genesis block) * 0.0007. Precisely, 'h' is defined as follows: h = 0 at the genesis block, h = 1 at the first halving block, and so forth. In general, h = block height / 210,000.
Adjustments are made to account for variations in block creation time.
The third concept revolves around investigating halving waves triggered by supply shock events resulting from the halvings. These halvings occur at regular intervals in Bitcoin's native time 'h'. All halvings transpire when 'h' is an integer. These events induce waves with intervals denoted as h = 1.
Consequently, we can model these waves using a sin(2pih - a) function. The parameter determining the time shift is assessed as 'a = 0.4', aligning with earlier expectations for halving events and their subsequent outcomes.
The fourth concept introduces the notion that the waves gradually diminish in amplitude over the progression of "time h," diminishing at a rate of 0.7^h.
Lastly, we can create bands around the modeled sinusoidal waves. The upper band is derived by multiplying the sine wave by a factor of 3.1*(1-0.16)^h, while the lower band is obtained by dividing the sine wave by the same factor, 3.1*(1-0.16)^h.
The current bandwidth is 2.5x. That means that the upper band is 2.5 times the lower band. These bands are forming an exceptionally narrow predictive channel for Bitcoin. Consequently, a highly accurate estimation of the peak of the next cycle can be derived.
The prediction indicates that the zenith past the fourth halving, expected around the summer of 2025, could result in prices ranging between 200,000 and 240,000 USD.
Enjoy the mathematical insights!
Smoothing ATR bandThere are two bands calculated with the ATR and I added "Smoothing" into the script.
Smoothing ATR with multiplier can display two bands above and below the price.
We can ONLY find some ATR bands in Community Scripts with "Basic" setting which is used to set Stop Loss.
And yet , Smoothing ATR with multiplier is capable of making traders manifestly recognize OverBought & OverSold.
FurtherMore, I added a condition with "plotshape", which is "Stop Hunt"
Stop Hunt is an absolutely usual strategy to clean the leverage and it always makes high volatility moves.
When high> above band and close< above band , long signal, it means it had been abundantly bought but the larger traders weren't satisfied; therefore, they quickly sold out to lower the price. The sell condition is on the contrary.
The signals mainly make traders manifestly recognize OverBought & OverSold.
Greedy DCA█ OVERVIEW
Detect price crashes in volatile conditions. This is an indicator for a greedy dollar cost average (DCA) strategy. That is, for people who want to repeatedly buy an asset over time when its price is crashing.
█ CONCEPTS
Price crashes are indicated if the price falls below one or more of the 4 lower Bollinger Bands which are calculated with increasing multipliers for the standard deviation.
In these conditions, the price is far below the average. Therefore they are considered good buying opportunities.
No buy signals are emitted if the Bollinger Bands are tight, i.e. if the bandwidth (upper -lower band) is below the value of the moving average multiplied with a threshold factor. This ensures that signals are only emitted if the conditions are highly volatile.
The Bollinger Bands are calculated based on the daily candles, irrespective the chart time frame. This allows to check the strategy on lower time frames
Nadaraya-Watson: Envelope (Non-Repainting)Due to popular request, this is an envelope implementation of my non-repainting Nadaraya-Watson indicator using the Rational Quadratic Kernel. For more information on this implementation, please refer to the original indicator located here:
What is an Envelope?
In technical analysis, an "envelope" typically refers to a pair of upper and lower bounds that surrounds price action to help characterize extreme overbought and oversold conditions. Envelopes are often derived from a simple moving average (SMA) and are placed at a predefined distance above and below the SMA from which they were generated. However, envelopes do not necessarily need to be derived from a moving average; they can be derived from any estimator, including a kernel estimator such as Nadaraya-Watson.
How to use this indicator?
Overall, this indicator offers a high degree of flexibility, and the location of the envelope's bands can be adjusted by (1) tweaking the parameters for the Rational Quadratic Kernel and (2) adjusting the lookback window for the custom ATR calculation. In a trending market, it is often helpful to use the Nadaraya-Watson estimate line as a floating SR and/or reversal zone. In a ranging market, it is often more convenient to use the two Upper Bands and two Lower Bands as reversal zones.
How are the Upper and Lower bounds calculated?
In this indicator, the Rational Quadratic (RQ) Kernel estimates the price value at each bar in a user-defined lookback window. From this estimation, the upper and lower bounds of the envelope are calculated based on a custom ATR calculated from the kernel estimations for the high, low, and close series, respectively. These calculations are then scaled against a user-defined multiplier, which can be used to further customize the Upper and Lower bounds for a given chart.
How to use Kernel Estimations like this for other indicators?
Kernel Functions are highly underrated, and when calibrated correctly, they have the potential to provide more value than any mundane moving average. For those interested in using non-repainting Kernel Estimations for technical analysis, I have written a Kernel Functions library that makes it easy to access various well-known kernel functions quickly. The Rational Quadratic Kernel is used in this implementation, but one can conveniently swap out other kernels from the library by modifying only a single line of code. For more details and usage examples, please refer to the Kernel Functions library located here:
[Floride] 4 Layers of Bollinger Shadow
This is the indicator I named 4LBS. That means four layers of bollinger shadow.
This is an indicator that I made to see how far past prices could affect the future prices.
And I found some very interesting and beautiful things about it, and I wanted to share them with you, so I publish this indicator.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Hello, nice to meet you all. my name as a trader is Floride.
First of all, I am not good at English, so there may be many grammatically incorrect sentences below.
I ask for your understanding in advance. Thanks for your understanding.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
What is it?
bollinger Bands usually has one moving average line. And there's two bands that uses same period value of standard deviation as the former MA. And this indicator, by the way, has a 4 shadow bands
that uses twice,three,four,five time the value of the MA's period.
Appearance -
This indicator has four layers, and there are also other layers between them.
You can turn on or off all the shadow layers.
Uses of Indicator and Examples
examples of actual use
1. market strongness diagnosis
-It seems all layers of shadow has some degree resist/support forces.
This indicator has the 4th layer - "L4". (indicated by red lines).
I saw emergence of volatility quite frequently when this last layer breaks through.
When price breaks through this area or line, shade appear on the L4 layer in red. and red cross appear on the that point. This is I called Marlin signal.
If you saw red color shadow in this indicator, then the market may have quite high volatility.
(of course, there's not 100%. Please be careful about this.)
But I've also checked in quite several markets. when this volatility emerges, then also that market seems to started to building quite directional power afterwards.
I mean, after the marlin signal, market tends to have bigger volatility, and tends to go one direction.
again, it's not 100%. but probability is quite high.
But maybe depending on the type of market you need some adjustment.
Recommended values are M2-1.618, M3-2.618
Or M2-1, M3-2. default value is M2-1.618, M3-2.618
and also, if prices breakthrough the channels, or layers, It tends to break through the at once, in first bar. In other words, if price don't break through the first or second candle, it's very likely that the price won't break through channel for the time being.
2. market weakness diagnosis
Usually, without external momentum, the price converges to the average value and does not deviate from the band. And if price fails to break through the most inner first layer-"L1 - the green channel", In that case, the market is usually assumed to be weak, or has low volatility.
- you can set alarms on tuna, marlin signal. and you don't have to watch chart all the time.
3. Signals
I put two signals in this indicator.
One has the name "Tuna," and the second has the name "Marlin."
As you can already tell from the name's feeling, tuna is a weaker signal and marlin is a stronger signal.
Actual example of a signal
1. Tuna signal
- When the tuna signal appears, you can guess that the current market is generally not weak. or has quite good directional force. or medium volatility.
Below is important.
- If a tuna signal appears, there is a possibility that a marlin will appear later.
- In my opinion, it might be wise not to have a position without a tuna signal.
- Almost all of the marlin signal appeared shortly after the tuna signal appeared.
2. Marlin signal
- When marlin signal appears, with a high probability, volatility can increase large.
- In the backtesting of the stock, in some cases, the market moved quite frequently in the direction of the marlin signal.
- The emergence of marlin can be seen as a pretty strong indication of the emergences of direction.
MTF Fair Value Gap Indicator ULTRAFVG Fair Value Gap Indicator
FVG's commonly known as Fair Value Gaps are mostly in use for forex trading, however it’s been widely used in price action trading, even on regular large cap stocks. Think of it as an imbalance area where the price of the stock may actually be under/over valued due to many orders being injected in a short amount of time, ie . a gap caused by an impulse created by the speed of the price movement. In essence, the FVG can become a kind of magnet drawing the price back to that level to attempt to balance out the orders (when? we don't know). Please do research to understand the concept of FVG's.
You can look for an opportunity as price approaches the FVG for entry either long/short because after all, it is an "Area of Interest" so the price will either bounce or blow through the area. No indicator works 100% of the time so take in context as just another indicator. It tends work on larger time frames best.
IMPORTANT TV RELATED LIMITATIONS: You should take the time to understand the following. A MAXIMUM of 500 boxes and labels are allowed, thus if you elect to display many different time frames of FVGs and/or select to not auto delete old Daily FVGs, the oldest FVGs will be deleted and not be seen. Additionally if you are on a smaller chart time frame (1 min), you may not see older FVGs such as Daily ones that occurred and still exist from long ago. This is due to TV limitation of 20,000 candles of history in each chart timeframe. Example: A 1 minute chart supports approximately 14 days worth of data so looking for Daily FVGs would only go back that far, whereas if your chart was set to 5 minutes you'd be able to see 5 times as many, ie . 60 days worth of Daily FVG's. Obviously setting your chart and looking for Daily FVG's would support up to 20,000 days worth.
The Indicator Provides many different features:
*Creation of FVG's for all hours or just during market hours. Currently you can enable FVG’s for the following timeframes: Current chart timeframe, 5Min, 10Min, 15Min, 1Hr, 4Hr, 8Hr, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
*Text label displays overlaying FVG bands including creation timestamps.
* Bands reflecting FVG's in action (created/deleted) for the current chart time frame, 15min, 1hr, 4hr, 8hr and daily time frames. The FVG's will be overlayed on the chart if enabled.
*Mitigation Action - Normal - When FVG is balanced out by price action, the FVG will disappear. Dynamic - The FVG band will decrease as the price movement eats into it thus only showing the remaining imbalance. None - For those that wish to retain FVG's even if they were mitigated. Half - FVG’s disappear when the price intrudes 50% of the overall FVG band zone.
*Mitigation Type - The elimination or balancing of the FVG is caused by either the candle wick or body passing completely through the FVG.
*Maximum FVGs - A maximum number of FVGs are created for each different enabled time frame (be aware setting a large number could impact system performance).
*All FVG band colors can be customized by the user.
* All FVG bands auto extend to the right.
* Intrusion Alerts - Trading View alerts are supported. You can use the indicator settings to enable an alert if the price intrudes into the FVG zone by a certain percentage. This is not related to mitigation or removal of the FVG, just a warning that price has reached the area of interest.
Refracted EMARefracted EMA is a price based indicator with bands that is built on moving average.
The price range between the bands directly depends on relationship of Average True Range to Moving Average. This gives us very valuable variable constant that changes with the market moves.
So the bands expand and contract due to changes in volatility of the market, which makes this tool very flexible exposing psychological levels.
VWAP Band TrendThis indicator combines two features: VWAP bands for range trading and trends for trend-following.
The white bands offer support/resistance levels ideal for range trading: short when rejecting off the upper band, long when rejecting off the lower. Take profit either when hitting the (faint gray) midline and/or when hitting the band on the far side.
The trend analysis shows green or red ranges above or below the bands to indicate trend strength - larger swaths of green or red indicates strong trend while shorter swathes indicate weak. If the upper trend color doesn't match the lower trend color, the trend is undecided or transitioning.
Optionally, trend initiation indicators can be turned on to show above/below candles where a trend switch is taking place.
All-in-one CPR indicator Introduction and Acknowledgement:
The script is basically a mashup script and provides a combined functionality of various indicators. I'll explain the usefulness and the optimal usage of the script after giving the credits where it is due. A CPR indicator for visually identifying the trend along with the strength of the trend is NOT available in the public library of TradingView. Hence, the need of this indicator.
The credit of creating the original indicators remain unknown to me but I would like to acknowledge the authors whose formulae and codes I have used for creating this mashup indicator.
- Frank Ochoa
- Guruprasad Meduri
- Rafael Zioni
- Stoked Stocks
- Pine team for default indicators
The prime focus of the script is identifying and simplifying the 2 main aspects of a trend:
1. Direction / Underlying trend
2. Strength of the trend
Flaws in traditional CPR:
Some may see this as a flaw, some may not. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. In general, the traditional CPR indicator is used to plot just support and resistance levels, and the trend identification is purely discretionary. In addition to this, there is no way to assess the strength of the move without using a dedicated volumed based indicator. This causes amateur traders to take counter trades to the market direction.
What is the need of this hybrid indicator?
A CPR indicator that also aids in visually identifying the trend and the strength of the trend with respect to the price action in NOT available in the public library of TradingView. The traditional CPR can be used to assess the rough direction of the market but if it combined with the Hull ribbon, the probability of identifying the trend increases manifold. Hence, I decided to create this mashup indicator.
In addition to the basic CPR pivots, the script provides the functionality of the following indicators:
1. HMA based trend ribbons with auto buy/sell signals
2. Volatility based bands - Bollinger bands, Keltner channel, Donchian channel, envelope.
3. Coloured volume candles to determine the strength of the trend
4. CPR with daily, weekly, and monthly levels
5. Previous day high/low
6. Tomorrow CPR
7. 3 Simple moving averages
8. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Correct usage of the indicator:
The optimal usage of the indicators consists of mainly 2 parts:
1. Identification of the trend using the combination of CPR and Hull ribbon
2. Determining the strength of the trend
How to identify the trend?
In general, when the price is above CPR it is considered a bullish trend. Also, when the price is above the Hull ribbon, it is considered bullish. Reverse is true for a bearish trend. Combining the traditional CPR logic with the Hull trend ribbon, we can conclude that:
1. Bullish trend = Price above CPR and above the Hull ribbon
2. Bearish trend = Price below CPR and below the Hull ribbon
If the Hull ribbon is showing a zig-zag move, the trend will be sideways. Also, the time frame of the Hull ribbon can be defined as per the need of the user.
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend with a contra move (pullback)
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend with a contra move (pullback)
How to determine the strength of the trend?
1. Strong trend = The dark coloured candles represent volume more than 150% of the look back period. For instance
2. Moderate trend = The bright coloured candles represent volume between 50-150%.
3. Neutral trend = The Grey coloured candles represent a weak trend where the volume is less than 50%.
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bearish trend along with the trend direction
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bullish trend using only coloured candles
All the other indicators including the SMA, VWAP, Bollinger bands, Keltner channels, etc. can be used as per the taste of the trader.
Thanks for reading! I hope you find this indicator useful.
Happy learning. Cheers!

Background
In Traders’ Tips of October 2019, the focus is Pawel Kosinski’s article : “Combining Bollinger Bands With Candlesticks”
Function
In “Combining Bollinger Bands With Candlesticks” in this issue, author Pawel Kosinski introduces us to a trading indicator that combines standard Bollinger Bands with the bullish engulfing candlestick pattern. Along the way we get a glimpse into the author’s process for trading strategy design and testing.
Remarks
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Root mean squared error range (RMSER)Similarly to Bollinger bands, the RMSER gives a support and resistance areas for the trading price. Unlike bollinger bands, which use standard deviation, this support and resistance is calculated with 2 * the root mean squared error away from the moving average. This works very well with indices, like $SPX, and prices only fall outside the range during black swan events like the 2020 crash.
