Dan Zanger Master Trading System
Overview
This indicator implements the legendary trading methodology of Dan Zanger, who famously turned $10,775 into over $42 million using pattern recognition and volume analysis. The system combines professional-grade pattern detection, volume analysis, and risk management into a comprehensive trading solution.

Core Features
1. Zanger Volume Ratio (ZVR)
The cornerstone of Zanger's methodology—volume confirms everything.
- Dynamic volume classification: Extreme (≥2x), High (≥1.65x), Moderate (≥1.25x), Low
- Bar coloring by volume intensity for instant visual feedback
- Volume dry-up detection: Identifies when volume contracts to <50% of average—Zanger's key signal that precedes explosive breakouts
2. Pattern Detection Engine
Automatically detects Zanger's favorite chart patterns:
🚩 Bull Flag - 15%+ pole with orderly 20-50% retracement, downward-sloping flag, declining volume
☕ Cup & Handle - U-shaped recovery (12-35% depth), handle in upper half, no undercut of cup low
△ Ascending Triangle - Flat resistance with higher lows, converging range, multiple resistance touches
▽ Descending Triangle - Flat support with lower highs (bearish warning)
◇ Symmetrical Triangle - Converging trendlines with contracting volume
▬ Flat Base - Tight consolidation (<15% range), price near highs, volume drying up
═ Channel - Up/Down/Horizontal channels with parallel bounds
3. Trend Analysis
Four Moving Averages: 10/20/50/200-period (selectable: SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA)
Trend Score (0-100): Quantifies trend strength based on MA positioning and direction
Golden Cross/Death Cross detection with visual markers
4. Zanger-Style Breakout Detection
Breakouts require ALL of these conditions:
- ✅ Price exceeds resistance with conviction
- ✅ Volume confirms (≥1.5x average)
- ✅ Strong close (upper 25% of bar range)
- ✅ Above rising 50-day MA
- ✅ Preceded by volume dry-up (ideal)
5. "Never Chase" Protection
Zanger's #1 rule implemented: Warns you when price is >5% above breakout level. This prevents costly chasing entries.
6. Risk Management System
Built-in position management following Zanger's rules:
Stop Loss: Default 7% (Zanger uses 5-7%)
Profit Target 1: 15% (take partial profits)
Profit Target 2: 30% (let winners run)
Trailing Stop: Activates after PT1, trails at 10% from highs
