Fibonacci Imbalance Zones [JOAT]Fibonacci Imbalance Zones
Introduction
Fibonacci Imbalance Zones is an open-source overlay indicator that merges automatic Fibonacci retracement with Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection and order block identification to find high-probability confluence zones where institutional concepts overlap. When a Fibonacci level aligns with an unmitigated FVG or an active order block, the indicator highlights that zone as a confluence point and optionally generates entry signals. It bridges the gap between classical Fibonacci analysis and modern Smart Money Concepts.
Built with Pine Script v6, the indicator uses custom types for Fibonacci levels, FVG zones, confluence points, swing points, order blocks, and institutional levels.
Why This Indicator Exists
Fibonacci retracement and FVG analysis are both widely used, but they are almost always applied as separate tools. Traders manually eyeball whether a Fibonacci level happens to overlap with an FVG, which is subjective and error-prone. This indicator automates that process by:
Auto-Fibonacci calculation: Automatically identifies the most recent significant swing high and swing low using pivot detection, then draws Fibonacci levels between them — no manual drawing required
FVG lifecycle tracking: Detects bullish and bearish FVGs, filters them by minimum size (ATR-based), tracks mitigation, and classifies them as premium or discount relative to fair value
Confluence detection: Programmatically checks whether any active Fibonacci level falls within a configurable ATR tolerance of any unmitigated FVG or order block, and calculates a confluence strength score
Entry signal generation: When price enters an FVG zone that overlaps with a key Fibonacci level (0.500-0.786 range), the indicator generates a directional entry signal
Core Components Explained
1. Automatic Fibonacci Levels
The indicator uses pivot detection to find the most significant recent swing high and swing low. The pivot strength parameter (default 5) controls how many bars on each side must be lower/higher for a point to qualify as a swing. Once swings are identified, Fibonacci levels are calculated:
calcFibLevel(float swingH, float swingL, float ratio, int direction) =>
float level = na
if direction > 0
level := swingL + (swingH - swingL) * ratio
else
level := swingH - (swingH - swingL) * ratio
level
Standard levels include 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, and 0.786, each toggleable independently. Extensions at 1.618 and 2.272 are also available. When harmonic ratios are enabled, additional levels at 0.127, 0.414, 0.707, and 0.886 are drawn, covering the full spectrum of Fibonacci and harmonic trading levels.
Each level is drawn as a dashed line extending from the swing range to the right of the chart, with a label showing the ratio. Harmonic ratios receive a glow effect (thicker line, lower transparency) to visually distinguish them from standard levels.
2. FVG Detection with Premium/Discount Classification
Fair Value Gaps are detected using the standard three-bar pattern: a bullish FVG forms when the current bar's low is above the high from two bars ago. The indicator filters FVGs by a minimum size threshold (default 0.3x ATR) to avoid plotting insignificant gaps.
Each FVG is classified as premium or discount relative to the fair value of the middle candle:
Premium FVG: The gap's midpoint is above fair value — sellers may have an edge
Discount FVG: The gap's midpoint is below fair value — buyers may have an edge
FVGs are drawn as colored boxes. Premium FVGs use a gold color, discount FVGs use cyan, and neutral FVGs use the standard bull/bear colors. When mitigation tracking is enabled, the indicator monitors each FVG and updates its visual style (dotted border, faded color) when price fills the gap's midpoint.

3. Order Block Detection
The indicator identifies order blocks as the last opposing candle before a significant swing point, filtered by volume. A bullish order block is the last bearish candle before a swing high, but only if the volume on that candle exceeds 1.5x the 20-period volume average. This volume filter ensures that only institutionally significant order blocks are tracked.
Order blocks are drawn as semi-transparent boxes and monitored for sweeps. When price breaks through an order block, it is marked as swept and its visual is updated to a neutral, dotted style.
4. Confluence Detection Engine
The confluence engine is the core innovation of this indicator. It iterates through all active Fibonacci levels and checks each one against all unmitigated FVGs and active order blocks:
tolerance = atrVal * confluenceTol
for fib in fibLevels
if fib.isActive
for fvg in fvgZones
if not fvg.isMitigated
if math.abs(fib.price - fvg.mid) < tolerance
confStrength += 1
Each confluence point receives a strength score based on how many factors align:
Fibonacci level + FVG = base confluence
Add +1 if the Fibonacci level is a harmonic ratio (0.382, 0.618, etc.)
Add +1 if the FVG is in the premium or discount zone
Add +1 if the FVG has above-average volume
Add +1 if an order block also overlaps
Confluence points are drawn as labeled boxes showing which factors are present (e.g., "Harmonic+Discount+Volume"). A minimum confluence strength threshold (default 2) filters out weak confluences.
5. Entry Signal Generation
When entry signals are enabled, the indicator generates a bullish entry when price enters a bullish FVG zone that overlaps with a Fibonacci level in the 0.500-0.786 range (the "golden pocket") and the current candle closes bullish. The bearish entry is the inverse. These signals are plotted as circles below (bullish) or above (bearish) the price bars.

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Let the indicator automatically identify the current swing range and draw Fibonacci levels. The structure line shows the swing high to swing low connection.
Step 2: Identify the trend direction from the structure line. In an uptrend (swing low formed after swing high), look for bullish setups at discount Fibonacci levels (0.618, 0.786). In a downtrend, look for bearish setups at premium levels.
Step 3: Watch for confluence diamonds. When a Fibonacci level overlaps with an unmitigated FVG, the confluence box appears. Higher strength confluences (3+) are more significant.
Step 4: If entry signals are enabled, wait for price to enter the confluence zone and print a confirming candle (bullish close for longs, bearish close for shorts).
Step 5: Use order blocks within the confluence zone as precise entry levels. The order block's range provides a natural stop-loss area (below the OB for longs, above for shorts).

Indicator Limitations
Automatic Fibonacci levels depend on pivot detection, which has an inherent delay. The swing points update only after the pivot is confirmed.
Fibonacci levels are drawn between the two most recent significant swings. In choppy markets with many equal swings, the selected range may not be the most relevant one.
FVG detection uses the standard three-bar pattern, which can produce many gaps on volatile instruments. Use the minimum size filter to manage this.
Confluence detection is proximity-based. A Fibonacci level near an FVG does not guarantee a price reaction — it identifies a zone of potential interest.
Entry signals are mechanical and do not account for broader market context. They should be used as alerts for further analysis, not as standalone trade triggers.
The indicator draws many visual elements. On busy charts, consider using the Max Visual Elements setting and disabling less critical features.
Originality Statement
This indicator is original in its automated confluence detection between Fibonacci analysis and Smart Money Concepts. While Fibonacci tools and FVG indicators exist separately, this indicator is justified because:
It programmatically detects overlap between Fibonacci levels and FVG zones, eliminating subjective visual assessment
The confluence strength scoring system quantifies how many institutional factors align at each zone
Premium/discount FVG classification adds a fair-value context layer to standard FVG detection
Volume-filtered order block detection integrated with Fibonacci levels creates a three-way confluence system
Harmonic ratio support extends beyond standard Fibonacci to cover the full spectrum of institutional trading levels
The entry signal system combines Fibonacci position, FVG presence, and candle confirmation into a structured trigger

Fibonacci Clusters | ProjectSyndicateFibonacci Clusters automatically identifies and power-ranks high-probability Fibonacci confluence zones by clustering retracement levels from dozens of recent swing pairs. It filters for quality, calculates a strength score for every zone based on how many distinct swing pairs agree on that price, and presents all data on the chart and in a comprehensive dashboard to eliminate clutter and focus on levels that matter.
• 🎯 True Confluence Engine — every cluster's strength score is the number of distinct swing pairs that contribute a Fibonacci level to that zone. A strength of 6 means 6 independent swings all confirm the same price area.
• 🎨 Strength-Based Color Scheme — zones are colored by their confluence score: Elite (>=6 pairs), Strong (4-5 pairs), and Medium (2-3 pairs). Stronger zones get brighter, more prominent colors for immediate visual hierarchy.
• 🧠 Smart Swing-Pair Clustering — automatically detects up to 15 recent swing highs and 15 swing lows, pairs them up, and runs the confluence engine on all their Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786, 1.000).
• 📈 Fixed Extension Zones — plots four key extension levels (1.130, 1.270, -0.130, -0.270) from the single most dominant swing pair, providing clear structural targets above and below the main cluster range.
• 🧭 Full Dashboard Display — provides a complete market overview, including the current trading session, volatility state (based on ADR), and a two-column list of all active cluster zones and extension levels above and below the current price, with their strength and distance.
• 🔔 Comprehensive Alerts — get a simple alert whenever a new swing high or low is confirmed, signaling that the cluster map has been updated.
• ✅ Quality Control Filters — user-configurable inputs for swing detection length, minimum swing range (as a multiple of ATR), cluster tolerance (as a multiple of ATR), and minimum cluster strength allow for deep customization to match any trading style.
• 🔧 Fully Customizable — control everything from the max number of clusters shown and zone height to the text size of all labels and dashboard elements.
• 🎯 Why this algo is unique: Standard Fibonacci indicators either show levels from one arbitrary swing or flood the chart with dozens of lines from every swing. This algorithm intelligently filters, clusters, and ranks them. It doesn't just show you where Fibonacci levels are, it quantifies how strong the confluence is at that price, giving you a clear edge. You instantly see which zones have a proven history of being respected by multiple, independent market moves.
• 🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any timeframe. The ATR-based tolerance and separation settings allow it to adapt to anything from scalping to swing trading.
• 🎯 How to use this? Focus on trading opportunities around high-strength Elite zones (rated 6+ pairs) as these have the highest probability of producing a significant reaction. Use the dashboard to quickly identify the most immediate zones and the alerts to know when the map has refreshed.
• ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Fibonacci confluence zones. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. Always use it in conjunction with your own trading strategy, price action analysis, and other technical indicators to confirm trade setups and manage risk.

Wraith Protocol WRAITH PROTOCOL
All-In-One Fibonacci | Volume Profile | Market Intelligence Overlay
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SHORT DESCRIPTION
─────────────────
Automatically maps Fibonacci retracements, buy/sell volume profile, and a
live market statistics table onto your chart — all in one clean overlay.
FULL DESCRIPTION
────────────────
WRAITH PROTOCOL is a precision-built overlay indicator that combines three
institutional-grade tools into a single, zero-clutter chart experience.
Designed for traders who demand structure, confluence, and real-time market
intelligence without switching between tools or cluttering their workspace.
It silently watches the last N candles, detects the swing high and low,
and then builds everything — Fibonacci levels, volume distribution, and
a full statistics dashboard — automatically, on every bar.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IT DOES — FEATURE BREAKDOWN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. AUTO FIBONACCI RETRACEMENTS
────────────────────────────
Automatically detects the highest high and lowest low over your chosen
lookback period and draws the full Fibonacci retracement grid between them.
Levels plotted:
-0.13 (Extension above high)
0.0 (Swing High — strong border line)
0.13 (Minor extension)
0.236 (Shallow retracement)
0.382 (Golden ratio zone — minor)
0.5 (Midpoint)
0.618 (Golden ratio — key confluence)
0.786 (Deep retracement)
0.886 (Final defense level)
1.0 (Swing Low — strong border line)
1.13 (Extension below low)
Each level is price-labelled on the right side with its ratio value.
Key levels (0.0 and 1.0) are rendered thicker and brighter.
The grid auto-updates every bar — no manual drawing needed.
Option: Enable "Extend to Right Edge" to project levels forward into
future candle space for forward planning.
2. DASHED RANGE BOX
──────────────────
A clean dashed bounding box is drawn around the exact lookback window —
from the first bar of the range to the last — framing the high and low.
This gives instant visual context for where the Fibonacci grid is anchored
and separates the active analysis zone from historical price action.
3. VOLUME PROFILE HISTOGRAM (Buy / Sell Split)
─────────────────────────────────────────────
A horizontal volume profile is rendered on the right side of the chart,
broken into configurable price buckets across the full range.
Each bucket shows:
— Buy volume (blue bars): candles that closed above their open
— Sell volume (red/pink bars): candles that closed below their open
The dominant price bucket — the one with the highest total volume,
known as the Point of Control (POC) — is highlighted in cyan, making
it instantly identifiable as the most contested price level in the range.
The profile width and right-side offset are fully adjustable so it
never overlaps your candles.
4. LIVE STATISTICS TABLE
────────────────────────
A clean 5-column, 4-row table is displayed at the bottom center of the
chart with real-time data derived from the lookback window.
Row 1 — Volume Intelligence:
Total Candle : Number of candles analyzed
Biggest Sell : Price of the single highest-volume bearish candle
Biggest Buy : Price of the single highest-volume bullish candle
Buy Rate : % of total volume that was buying pressure
Sell Rate : % of total volume that was selling pressure
Row 2 — Market Structure:
Trend : Bullish or Bearish (derived from buy/sell rate dominance)
Support : Auto-calculated at the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement
Resistance : Auto-calculated at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement
P&L : % distance between support and resistance (range size)
Estimate : "Up" if price is below resistance, "Down" if above

Position and Risk CalculatorFirst of all I'd like to thank @Famouzx
for the use of his original code. I had this idea for a long time - but, had no idea on how to execute it. I found a reference to his script and it had some elements that showed me how this could be completed.
This script does two main things:
First, the user can input their account size and risk amount and the script will calculate the amount of size to enter the trade. The user can also choose the size they desire and it will calculate the risk amount.
Second, the script will project TP levels based upon input from the user. There are two take profit level types: The first is TP levels based upon risk/reward and the distance between the SL and Entry. The second is that the user can use a "measured move" to project TP levels.
There are options for the levels to show or not show the following: Ticks, USD, R/R, and the security price for that level.
For my use case I use several different elements of this script:
1) I use the Entry and SL locations to provide me with the correct size to enter the trade.
2) I use the Measured Move elements to set take profit levels.
3) Within the Take Profit levels I use Fibonacci levels.
In the next image one can see how this works.
1) The Stop and Entry are set. In the settings the risk is set at .4% of 50k and that is $200 which is shown in the table on the top right. The correct size for that amount of risk is shown on the Entry line as 2 Micros (this is NQ Futures).
2) The Measured move begins at the top of the last impulse up and ends on the first mail reversal that dips into the "golden zone" and is rejected. This is the distance is used to calculate the TP levels and the Fib levels.
3) The RR, USD profit, and ticks are calculated using the SL and Entry.
So, the trader can calculate the entry size and R/R before entering the trade.
In this example we can see that there was profit taking at the 0.618 (an almost guaranteed level to reach in most of these type of setups). And, you can see that is an important level as this trade finished at the 1.618 level.
In the next image the trader is not using the measured move or fib take profit levels. They are only using the SL and TP. But, the Risk is still $200 and the script shows that 2 micro contracts should be used. In settings the user could make the TP levels transparent if they only wanted to use the size calculator.
This video demonstrate how to use the script.

Automatic Fibonacci Levels [WillyAlgoTrader]Automatic Fibonacci Levels is an overlay indicator that detects the dominant swing high and swing low within the visible chart area, draws a full Fibonacci retracement and extension grid between them, highlights the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zone at 61.8%–78.6%, marks a target zone at the −50% to −61.8% extension, and labels four take-profit levels — all updating automatically as you scroll or zoom the chart.
Most Fibonacci tools on PulseWire are either manual (you draw them yourself and they become stale as price evolves) or pivot-based (anchored to a fixed lookback period that may not match the swing you're actually looking at). This indicator takes a different approach: it uses the visible chart range as its context. It finds the highest high and lowest low within what you can currently see, determines trend direction based on which came first, and draws the full Fibonacci grid accordingly. When you scroll or zoom to a different area, the grid adapts — making it a dynamic analysis companion rather than a static drawing tool.
🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
1. Visible-range swing detection. Instead of using a fixed pivot lookback or requiring manual anchor placement, the indicator scans the chart's visible window (chart.left_visible_bar_time to chart.right_visible_bar_time) to find the absolute high and low. This means the Fibonacci grid always reflects the swing structure you are currently analyzing. Zoom into a 50-bar range to see intraday retracements; zoom out to 500 bars to see the macro structure — the grid adjusts automatically. When the visible range changes (scroll or zoom), swing detection resets and recalculates.
2. Automatic trend direction from swing sequence. The indicator determines bullish or bearish bias by comparing when the swing low and swing high occurred. If the swing low formed first and the swing high formed later, the trend is classified as bullish (retracement levels are drawn down from the high, extensions project upward). If the swing high came first, the trend is bearish (retracement down from the low, extensions project downward). No manual input is needed — the grid orientation follows the price structure.
3. OTE Entry Zone + Target Zone as highlighted boxes. Two key zones are highlighted with semi-transparent boxes:
— Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) : the Optimal Trade Entry area from ICT/SMC methodology — the deep retracement zone where institutional re-entry is most likely
— Target Zone (−50% to −61.8%) : the extension zone where breakout moves frequently reach
Both zones have configurable colors and optional text labels ("ENTRY ZONE" / "TARGET ZONE") inside them. Zone-touch alerts fire when price enters either box for the first time.
4. Four labeled take-profit levels. TP labels are placed at key Fibonacci levels to provide a structured scale-out framework:
— TP1 at 38.2% (first retracement target — conservative exit)
— TP2 at 0% (full swing retest — swing high in uptrend, swing low in downtrend)
— TP3 at −27.2% (first Fibonacci extension)
— TP4 at −61.8% (deep extension — runner target)
Each TP level is only displayed if the corresponding Fibonacci line is enabled, keeping the chart clean.
5. 16 individually toggleable levels. The indicator supports a comprehensive set of levels: 0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 70.6%, 78.6%, 100% (standard retracements), plus 18%, 150%, 200% (deep retracements), and −18%, −27.2%, −50%, −61.8%, −100% (extensions). Each level can be toggled on or off independently, so you can configure exactly the grid density you prefer — from a minimal 4-level setup to a full 16-level deep analysis.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
Swing detection:
On every bar, the script checks whether the current bar falls within the chart's visible time window (using chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time). Within this window, it tracks the highest high and lowest low, along with their bar indices. When the visible window changes (scroll/zoom), all swing data resets and recalculates from scratch. This ensures the grid always reflects your current view.
Trend direction:
If swingLowBarIdx < swingHighBarIdx (low came first), the trend is classified as bullish — Fibonacci levels count downward from the swing high (0% = high, 100% = low), and extensions project above the high. If the high came first, the trend is bearish — levels count upward from the swing low, extensions project below.
Level calculation:
Each Fibonacci level is calculated as: price = anchor ± (swingRange × ratio), where the anchor and direction depend on the trend bias. For a bullish trend: 0% = swingHigh, 61.8% = swingHigh − range × 0.618, −50% = swingHigh + range × 0.5. For bearish: mirrored.
Zone detection:
The Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) and Target Zone (−50% to −61.8%) are computed as price ranges. On each confirmed bar, the script checks if the close falls within either zone. A zone-touch alert fires on the first confirmed bar inside the zone (no repeated alerts while price stays in the zone). The inEntryZone / inTargetZone state resets when price leaves, allowing re-entry detection.
Drawing:
All visual elements (lines, labels, boxes) are drawn on barstate.islast and cleaned up on each redraw to prevent accumulation. Lines extend from 2 bars before the current bar to the label offset position. Zones use extend.right so they remain visible as new bars form.
📖 HOW TO USE
Reading the chart:
— Orange horizontal lines = Fibonacci levels (retracement + extensions)
— Optional % labels next to each line = level identification
— Gold semi-transparent box = Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6% OTE)
— Gold semi-transparent box with "TARGET ZONE" = extension target (−50% to −61.8%)
— TP1–TP4 labels = structured take-profit levels
— Optional diagonal line = swing connection (low-to-high or high-to-low)
Suggested workflow:
— Zoom to the swing you want to analyze — the grid adapts automatically
— In a bullish trend: look for buy entries when price retraces into the Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%), with stop loss below 100% (swing low), targeting TP1 (38.2%) → TP2 (0% / swing high) → TP3 (−27.2%) → TP4 (−61.8%)
— In a bearish trend: look for sell entries when price retraces up into the Entry Zone, stop above swing high, targeting downward extensions
— Use the dashboard to confirm trend direction and monitor whether price is currently in the Entry or Target zone
— Set alerts for zone touches to get notified when price reaches OTE or target levels without watching the chart
Customization tips:
— For a clean chart: enable only 0%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%, −27.2%, −61.8% — this gives you the OTE boundaries, swing anchors, and two extension targets
— For deep analysis: enable all 16 levels to see the full Fibonacci structure
— Adjust Label Offset to move level labels further right if your chart is crowded
— Toggle Show Diagonal Swing Line to visually confirm which high/low pair is being used

— Target Zone touch : price closes inside the −50% to −61.8% extension zone
Both support standard text and JSON webhook format.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
— This indicator anchors to the visible chart range — it recalculates when you scroll or zoom. This is a feature, not a bug: it lets you analyze any swing by simply framing it on your screen. However, it means the grid will change if you move the chart.
— Fibonacci levels are not predictive — they are reference points based on the measured swing range. Price may or may not react at any given level.
— The Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) is derived from the OTE concept used in ICT/SMC methodology. It represents a high-probability retracement area, but no retracement zone guarantees a reversal.
— Zone alerts require bar-close confirmation and fire once per entry — they do not repeat while price remains in the zone.
— Works across all asset classes and timeframes. No volume data required. Indicator
Adaptive Pivot Structure [WillyAlgoTrader]Adaptive Pivot Structure (APS) is an overlay indicator that maps market structure in real time by detecting swing pivots, classifying structural breaks (BOS / CHoCH), tracking missed reversal levels, and projecting a dynamic Fibonacci grid between the last confirmed pivot and the live forming extreme.
Most pivot-based tools plot swing points with a fixed delay and leave the trader to interpret structure manually. APS automates the full workflow: it detects pivots, grades their strength against ATR, identifies whether the structure is continuing (BOS) or reversing (CHoCH), keeps track of levels that price skipped over, and stretches a Fibonacci retracement grid that updates bar-by-bar as the current swing extends — giving you an always-current picture of where price sits within the swing.
🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
APS combines five analytical layers into a single coherent overlay that would otherwise require multiple separate indicators:
1. ATR-graded pivot detection. Every swing high and low is measured against the current ATR to classify it as Strong (swing > 1.5× ATR) or Weak. You can filter the display to show only strong pivots, only weak ones, or all — allowing you to strip noise on lower timeframes while keeping full detail on higher ones.
2. Automated BOS / CHoCH classification. The indicator continuously compares each new pivot high to the previous pivot high, and each new pivot low to the previous pivot low. When a higher high forms in an existing uptrend, the script labels it as a Break of Structure (BOS ↑) — trend continuation. When a higher high forms after a downtrend, it labels a Change of Character (CHoCH ↑) — potential reversal. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish breaks. This removes the subjectivity of manually drawing and labeling structure shifts.
3. Missed reversal tracking. When two consecutive pivots form on the same side (e.g. two pivot highs without an intervening pivot low), the "missed" pivot low between them is flagged with a ◇ marker and extended as a dotted horizontal level until price breaks it. These missed levels often act as hidden support/resistance that conventional pivot tools ignore entirely.
4. Live (potential) pivot tracking. Instead of waiting for full confirmation (which inherently lags by N bars), APS tracks the running extreme since the last confirmed pivot and plots it in real time as a "potential next pivot" with a dashed zigzag extension. This gives you immediate visual feedback on how far the current swing has traveled and where the Fibonacci grid is anchored — without pretending the pivot is confirmed.
5. Dynamic Fibonacci grid. A full Fibonacci retracement (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0 — with optional 1.272 and 1.618 extensions) is drawn between the last confirmed pivot and the live pivot. The grid redraws every bar as the live extreme moves, so the retracement levels always reflect the current swing range. The OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) zones at 0.236–0.382 and 0.618–0.786 are highlighted with a fill to make them easy to spot at a glance.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
Pivot detection:
Pivots are identified using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() with a user-defined lookback (Pivot Length). A pivot high is confirmed when the bar has N lower highs on both sides; a pivot low when the bar has N higher lows on both sides. This means confirmed pivots appear with a delay of N bars — this is inherent to the standard pivot detection algorithm.
Strength grading:
Once a pivot is detected, the script measures the absolute price distance from the previous pivot to the current one. If this distance exceeds 1.5× the current ATR value, the pivot is classified as "Strong"; otherwise "Weak." A minimum swing size filter (Min Swing Size, expressed as an ATR multiple) lets you suppress insignificant swings entirely.
Structure logic:
The indicator maintains a running structure direction variable. When a new pivot high exceeds the previous pivot high and the current structure is already bullish, it triggers a BOS ↑. If the structure was bearish, it triggers a CHoCH ↑ (reversal). Mirror logic applies for lows. This follows standard Smart Money Concepts methodology.
Missed pivot logic:
Between any two consecutive same-side pivots, the indicator records the highest high or lowest low that occurred in the gap. This "missed" extreme is marked and extended as a horizontal level. The level is automatically removed from the chart when price closes through it — keeping only active levels visible.
Live pivot:
After each confirmed pivot, the script starts tracking the running high (if expecting a pivot high next) or running low (if expecting a pivot low). This value updates every bar and serves as one anchor of the Fibonacci grid. A "▲?" or "▼?" label and a dashed line show where this potential pivot currently sits.
Fibonacci grid:
The retracement is calculated between the lower and upper anchor of the current swing (using the confirmed pivot on one side and the live extreme on the other). All seven standard ratios are drawn as horizontal lines from the earlier pivot's bar index to 5 bars into the future. The 0.5 and 0.618 levels are drawn thicker and in a highlight color for emphasis.
⚠️ REPAINTING BEHAVIOR — IMPORTANT
This indicator is designed as a live analysis tool , not a backtesting signal generator. The following elements will change on the current bar:
— The Live Pivot marker moves as the running extreme updates
— The Fibonacci grid redraws as the live anchor moves
— BOS/CHoCH labels based on pivots inherit the standard pivot detection delay
Confirmed pivots themselves do not repaint — once a bar is no longer within the pivot lookback window, its pivot status is final. The alert system includes a "Confirmed Only" toggle (on by default) that restricts alerts to bar-close events, ensuring no repainting alerts reach your trading bot.
📖 HOW TO USE
Reading the chart:
— ▲ / ▽ labels at swing lows = confirmed pivot lows (filled = Strong, outline = Weak)
— ▼ / △ labels at swing highs = confirmed pivot highs (filled = Strong, outline = Weak)
— ◇ markers = missed reversals (cyan for missed lows, orange for missed highs)
— Dotted horizontal lines from ◇ markers = active missed levels (auto-removed when broken)
— "BOS ↑/↓" yellow labels = Break of Structure (trend continuation)
— "CHoCH ↑/↓" green/red labels = Change of Character (potential reversal)
— Purple dashed line with "▲?" or "▼?" = live potential pivot (updates every bar)
— Fibonacci lines with OTE zone fills = dynamic retracement grid
Suggested workflow:
— Use CHoCH labels as early warning of trend reversals — then look for entries in the Fibonacci discount/premium zones
— Use BOS labels to confirm trend continuation — look for pullback entries at 0.618–0.786 retracement
— Watch the dashboard's "Fib Zone" readout: Discount (below 38.2%) favors buys, Premium (above 61.8%) favors sells, Equilibrium suggests waiting
— Missed reversal levels act as hidden S/R — watch for reactions when price revisits them
Timeframe guidance:
— Scalping (1–5min): Pivot Length 3–5, Min Swing 0.5 ATR, Strong Only filter
— Intraday (15min–1H): Pivot Length 5–10, default settings
— Swing (4H–Daily): Pivot Length 10–20, show all strengths for full context
⚙️ KEY SETTINGS REFERENCE
— Pivot Length (default 5): bars left/right for pivot detection — lower = faster but noisier
— ATR Length (default 14): period for strength grading and minimum swing filter
— Min Swing Size (default 0.0): minimum swing as ATR multiple — increase to filter small moves

📊 Dashboard
The info panel (adjustable to any chart corner) displays:
— Current market structure (Bullish / Bearish / Ranging)
— Last confirmed pivot type and price
— Live pivot direction and price
— Number of active missed-reversal levels
— Last PH and PL values
— Fib Zone classification (Premium / Discount / Equilibrium) with percentage

— Past pivot patterns and structure shifts do not guarantee future price behavior.
— Always combine structural analysis with proper risk management and additional confluence. Indicator
Gann-Fibonacci Swing Toolkit [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Gann–Fibonacci Swing Toolkit is an advanced swing-based projection tool that combines classic Gann geometry with Fibonacci ratios.
The indicator automatically detects market swings, anchors them to the most recent structure, and dynamically plots either Gann Fans or Gann Boxes to visualize price–time relationships, trend angles, retracement zones, and expansion targets.
This toolkit is designed to help traders understand not only where price may react, but also how fast it should move relative to time.
🔵 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The foundation of this toolkit comes from two of the most influential schools of market geometry:
W.D. Gann (early 1900s) introduced the idea that markets move according to geometric and mathematical laws, where price and time must stay in balance . His work emphasized angles (such as 1×1, 1×2, 1×3) that define how much price should advance or decline per unit of time.
Fibonacci ratios , derived from the Fibonacci sequence and popularized in trading decades later, describe natural proportional relationships observed across markets, especially during corrections and expansions.
Modern technical analysis merges these ideas by applying Fibonacci ratios to Gann’s price–time framework, creating tools that measure both distance (price) and duration (time) .
The Gann–Fibonacci Swing Toolkit follows this combined philosophy by grounding all projections in real swing structure rather than static or manually drawn anchors.
🔵 CORE CONCEPT
Swing-Based Anchoring — All calculations start from confirmed swing highs and lows detected via a rolling highest/lowest lookback.
Directional Context — The tool automatically determines bullish or bearish structure and adapts all projections accordingly.
Price–Time Geometry — Gann logic is applied by projecting price movement relative to elapsed bars, not just price distance.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
SWING DETECTION LOGIC
A swing high is confirmed when price forms a local maximum and then fails to extend higher.
A swing low is confirmed when price forms a local minimum and then fails to extend lower.
The most recent completed swing becomes the anchor point for all Gann and Fibonacci calculations.
Optional ZigZag lines visually connect completed swings for structural clarity.
GANN FAN MODE
When Fibonacci Type = Fan , the indicator plots dynamic Gann fan angles from the swing anchor.
Fan Ratios — Each fan line represents a 1/x (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc.), defining how much price should move per unit of time.
Trend-Aware Projection
- Bullish fans project upward from swing lows.
- Bearish fans project downward from swing highs.
Fan Fill Zones — Optional shaded regions between fan levels highlight price compression and expansion areas.
GANN BOX (FIBONACCI BOX) MODE
When Fibonacci Type = Box , the indicator builds a Gann Box using Fibonacci retracement and time ratios.
Horizontal Levels — Fibonacci price retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) are projected from the swing range.
Vertical Levels — Fibonacci time divisions are applied across the swing duration to estimate timing of reactions.
Inverse Mode — Flips retracement logic to project inverted expansions instead of standard pullbacks.
OTE Zone — Optional Optimal Trade Entry zone highlights the premium/discount retracement area.
Dual-Axis Structure — Combines price and time into a single geometric framework instead of treating them separately.
MAIN FRAME LOGIC
A dynamic frame is drawn between the swing anchor and current bar, scaled by trend slope.
The frame visually represents the dominant trend channel derived from swing geometry.
VISUAL ELEMENTS
Swing anchor labels mark the exact price and bar index used for calculations.
Color-coded bullish and bearish swings improve structural readability.
Labels on fan and box levels display their exact Fibonacci ratios.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use Gann Fans to trade dynamic trend support and resistance that evolves with time.
Use Gann Boxes to identify high-probability retracement zones and timing windows.
Combine fan angles with horizontal box levels for confluence-based entries.
Disable ZigZag if you want a cleaner chart focused only on projections.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Gann–Fibonacci Swing Toolkit is a geometry-driven market structure tool that goes beyond static Fibonacci levels.
By uniting Gann’s price–time balance with Fibonacci proportionality and anchoring everything to real swing structure, the indicator provides a deeper framework for understanding trend behavior, corrective depth, and future reaction zones — all derived directly from price action itself. Indicator
Golden Pocket ZonesGolden Pocket Zones: High-Probability Reaction Zones
⚙️ Identify High-Probability Reaction Zones: The script automatically scans daily price action to plot powerful support and resistance zones based on the Golden Pocket Fibonacci retracement (50%-61.8%). These are areas where price is statistically likely to react, providing traders with a map of key market levels.
✅ Native support for Gold, Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Crude oil.
📦 Dynamic & Self-Merging Zones: The indicator identifies Golden Pockets from significant daily candles and automatically merges overlapping zones. This process consolidates multiple levels into a single, stronger, and more reliable area of interest, reducing chart noise and highlighting the most critical price boundaries.
🎯 Volatility-Adaptive Zone Height: Zone height is calculated as a percentage of the 10-day Average Daily Range (ADR10). This ensures that the zones dynamically adapt to the current market volatility. In volatile conditions, zones are wider; in calm markets, they are tighter, always remaining relevant to the instrument being traded.
💪 Strength & Age Analysis: Each zone is automatically rated for strength (4-10) based on the size of the daily candle that created it relative to the ADR10. Larger candles produce stronger zones. The age of the zone (in days) is also displayed, allowing traders to assess its relevance over time.
🔥 Proximity Heatmap: Zones are color-coded with a dynamic heatmap. The closer the current price is to a zone, the "hotter" (more orange) the color becomes. This provides an immediate visual cue to pay attention as price approaches a key reaction area.
🌍 Universal Asset Compatibility: While the logic is exceptionally powerful for Gold (XAUUSD), the indicator is designed for universal application across Futures (NQ/ES), Forex, Cryptocurrencies (BTC), and US Stocks. The ADR-based calculations ensure its principles adapt seamlessly to any market.
📌Recommended Timeframes
📦While the zones are calculated from the Daily chart, they are most effectively used for executing trades on intraday timeframes. The recommended timeframes for monitoring price action and looking for confirmation signals are:
•M30 (30-Minute)•H1 (1-Hour)•H2 (2-Hour)•H4 (4-Hour)
How to Use the Golden Pocket Zones
🕒This indicator is designed to identify high-probability areas for price reactions, not to provide direct entry signals. The core strategy is to use these zones as a map and wait for price to confirm a reaction before making a trading decision.
Identifying High-Probability Reaction Zones
✅1.Load the Indicator: Apply the "Golden Pocket Zones" indicator to your chart. With default settings, it will analyze the last 20 daily candles to generate the zones.
🎯 2.Identify Key Levels: The plotted boxes are your key areas of interest. These represent significant historical support and resistance. A zone’s strength is indicated by its rating (e.g., "S: 8"), with higher numbers indicating a more significant level.
🥇3.Watch for Price Approach: As price action on your trading timeframe (e.g., M15, H1, H4) approaches one of these daily zones, it is entering a high-probability reaction area. The zone’s color will shift from yellow to orange, signaling proximity.
⚙️4.Look for Confirmation: This is the most critical step. Do not blindly trade just because price touches a zone. Instead, wait for a clear confirmation signal on a lower timeframe. This could be:
•Candlestick Patterns: A bullish engulfing pattern, a hammer, or a doji at a support zone.
•Chart Patterns: A double bottom forming within a zone or a breakout and retest of a smaller pattern.
•Divergence: Bullish or bearish divergence on an oscillator like RSI or MACD as price interacts with the zone.
Trading Strategy & Logic
📌 Entry Logic
1.Patience is Key: Allow price to travel to a pre-identified Golden Pocket Zone. Do not chase the market.
2.Wait for Confirmation: Once price enters the zone, switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., from H4 to M15) and wait for a clear entry signal (like a bullish candlestick pattern for a long trade at a support zone).
3.Enter on Confirmation: Execute your trade once your entry criteria are met. The zone itself provides the context for the trade.
🛑 Stop Loss (SL) Placement
•For a Long Trade (at a support zone): Place your stop loss a reasonable distance below the lower boundary of the zone. The zone itself acts as a buffer.
•For a Short Trade (at a resistance zone): Place your stop loss a reasonable distance above the upper boundary of the zone.
🎯 Take Profit (TP) Strategy
•Target the Next Zone: The most logical target is the next Golden Pocket Zone in the opposite direction of your trade. If you enter a long trade from a support zone, your primary target would be the next resistance zone above.
•Partial Profits: For larger moves, you can use Fibonacci extension levels or other support/resistance structures as intermediate targets to take partial profits.
Using Default Settings
The indicator is optimized to work well out of the box for most assets.
•Lookback Days = 20: This analyzes approximately one month of daily price action, providing a relevant and recent map of the market structure.
•Zone Height (% of ADR10) = 3.0: This provides a reasonably sized zone that is large enough to absorb noise but tight enough to be precise. It is an excellent starting point for all assets.
•Min Candle Size (% of ADR10) = 60.0: This is a crucial filter. It ensures that only days with significant price movement (at least 60% of the average daily range) are used to create zones. This filters out insignificant, low-volatility days and focuses only on levels created by decisive market action.
By combining the powerful, automatically generated Golden Pocket Zones with patient observation and confirmation on lower timeframes, traders can significantly increase the probability of their trades across all major financial markets.

Auto Fibonacci Lines Depending on ZigZag %In the world of technical analysis, few tools are as powerful—or as misused—as Fibonacci Retracements. The Auto Fibonacci Lines Depending on ZigZag % is not just an indicator; it is a complete, automated trading system designed to eliminate subjectivity and bring institutional-grade precision to your charts.
This script automates the identification of significant market structures using a ZigZag algorithm. Once a market swing is mathematically confirmed (based on your deviation settings), it instantly projects a complete suite of Retracement and Extension levels. This allows you to stop guessing where to draw your lines and start focusing on price action.
🧠 The Logic Behind the Indicator
Understanding how your tools work is the first step to trusting them. This script operates on a three-step logic loop:
ZigZag Identification:
The script continuously monitors price action relative to the last known pivot point. It uses a user-defined Deviation % to filter out market noise. A new "Leg" is only confirmed when price reverses by this specific percentage. This ensures that the Fibonacci lines are only drawn on significant market moves, not random chop.
Automated Anchor Points:
Once a downward trend is confirmed (e.g., price drops 30% from the top), the script automatically anchors the Fibonacci tool to the Swing High (Start) and the Swing Low (End). It does this without you needing to click or drag anything.
Dynamic Cleanup:
Markets evolve. A key feature of this script is its self-cleaning mechanism. As soon as a new trend leg is confirmed, the script automatically deletes the old, invalidated Fibonacci lines and draws a fresh set for the new structure. This keeps your chart clean and focused on the now.
🎓 How to Trade This System
This indicator is color-coded to simplify your decision-making process. It moves beyond standard "rainbow" charts by categorizing price levels into three distinct actionable zones.
1. The "Reload Zone" (White Lines: 0.618 - 0.786) ⚪
Role: High-Probability Support / Entry
In institutional trading, the 0.618 (Golden Ratio) to 0.786 region is often where algorithms step in to defend a trend.
Why it works : This is the "discount" area where smart money re-accumulates positions before the next leg up.
2. The "Decision Wall" (Blue Lines: 1.382 - 1.5) 🔵
Role: Strong Resistance / Trend Check
This is a unique feature of this suite. The 1.382 and 1.5 levels often act as a "ceiling" for weak breakouts.
Strategy : If you entered in the White Zone, the Blue Zone is your first major hurdle. If price stalls here, consider securing partial profits.
Warning : A rejection from the Blue Lines often leads to a double-top formation. However, a clean break above the Blue Lines usually signals a parabolic move is beginning.
3. The "Extension Zone" (Yellow, Red, Purple > 1.618) 🟡🔴
Role : Take Profit / Exhaustion
Levels above 1.5 (starting with the 1.618 Golden Extension) are statistical extremes.
Strategy : These are Strict Take Profit levels. Do not FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) into new long positions here. The probability of a reversal increases drastically as price climbs through these levels (2.618, 3.618, 4.618).
📐 The Mathematical Edge: Logarithmic vs. Linear
One of the most critical features of this script is the ability to toggle between Logarithmic and Linear calculations.
Why use Logarithmic?
If you are trading Crypto (Bitcoin, Altcoins) or high-growth Tech Stocks, linear Fibonacci levels are mathematically incorrect over large moves. A 50% drop from $100 is different than a 50% drop from $10.
This script calculates the percentage difference (Log Scale), ensuring your targets are accurate even during 100%+ parabolic runs.
Why use Linear?
For mature markets like Forex (EURUSD) or Indices (SPX500) where volatility is lower, Linear scaling is the industry standard.
🛠️ Configuration & Best Practices
Deviation % : This is the heartbeat of the indicator.
Swing Trading : Set to 20-30%. This filters out noise and only draws Fibs on major macro moves.
Scalping : Set to 3-5%. This will catch smaller intraday waves.
Text Place : Keeps your chart clean by pushing labels to the right, ensuring they don't overlap with the current price action.
👤 Who Is This Indicator For?
The Disciplined Trader : Who wants to remove emotional bias from their charting.
The Crypto Investor : Who needs accurate Logarithmic targets for long-term holding.
The Confluence Trader : Who combines these automated levels with Order Blocks, RSI, or Volume to find the perfect entry.

Fibonacci Sequence Grid [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A geometric price mapping tool that projects Fibonacci sequence levels and grid structures from recent price swings to help traders visualize natural expansion and reversion zones.
This indicator overlays Fibonacci-based structures directly on the chart, utilizing both grid projections and horizontal levels based on the classic Fibonacci integer sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...). It identifies recent swing highs or lows and builds precision-aligned levels based on the trend direction.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Uses the Fibonacci integer sequence (not ratios) to define distances from the most recent swing point.
Identifies a trend based on EMA cross of fast and slow periods.
Projects two types of Fibonacci tools:
A grid projection from the swing point, displaying multiple sloped levels based on the sequence.
A set of horizontal Fibonacci levels for clean structural references.
Levels can be plotted from either swing low or high depending on the current trend direction.
Adjustable “Size” inputs control spacing between levels for better price alignment.
Lookback period defines how far the script searches for recent swing extremes.
🔵 FEATURES
Fibonacci Grid Projection:
Draws two mirrored Fibonacci grids—one expanding away from the swing high/low, the other converging toward price.
Swing-Based Trend Detection:
Uses a fast/slow EMA crossover to determine trend direction and reference swing points for projections.
Fibonacci Sequence Levels:
Displays horizontal levels based on the Fibonacci number sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...) for natural price targets.
Dynamic Labels and Coloring:
Each level is labeled with its sequence value and colored based on trend direction (e.g., red = downtrend, green = uptrend).
Both grids and levels can be toggled on/off independently.
Sizing controls allow tighter or looser clustering of levels depending on chart scale.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Enable Fibonacci Grid to visualize price expansion zones during impulsive trends.
Use Fibonacci Levels as horizontal support/resistance or target zones.
A label below price means the current trend is up and levels are projected from swing low.
A label above price means trend is down and levels are projected from swing high.
Adjust “Size” input to fit grid/level projection to your preferred chart scale or instrument volatility.
Use in confluence with price action, trend indicators, or volume tools for layered trading decisions.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Fibonacci Sequence Grid reimagines Fibonacci analysis using whole-number spacing from natural math progressions. Whether used for projecting grid-based expansions or horizontal support/resistance zones, it provides a powerful and intuitive structure to trade within. Perfect for traders who rely on symmetry, market geometry, and mathematically consistent levels. Indicator

Auto-Anchored Fibonacci Volume Profile [Custom Array Engine]Description:
1. The Theoretical Foundation: Structure vs. Participation In professional technical analysis, traders often struggle to reconcile two distinct datasets: Price Geometry (where price should go) and Market Participation (where money actually went).
Why Fibonacci? (The Structure) Fibonacci Retracements map the mathematical structure of a trend. They identify psychological and algorithmic "interest zones" (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) where a correction is statistically likely to terminate. However, Fibonacci levels are theoretical—they are "lines in the sand" that do not guarantee liquidity or reaction.
Why Volume Profile? (The Verification) Volume Profile maps the historical exchange of shares at specific price levels. It reveals "fair value" (High Volume Nodes) and "market imbalance" (Low Volume Nodes). It is the only tool that verifies if a specific price level was actually accepted by institutional participants.
2. Underlying Calculations (The Custom Engine) This script operates on a custom-built calculation engine that bypasses standard built-in functions entirely. It uses Pine Script Arrays to build a Volume Profile from scratch. Here is the breakdown of the proprietary code logic:
A. The "Smart-Fill" Distribution Algorithm (Solves Gapping)
The Problem: Standard volume scripts often assign a candle's entire volume to a single price row. In volatile markets or steep trends, this creates visual "gaps" or a "barcode" effect because price moved too fast to register on every row.
My Solution: I wrote a custom loop that calculates the vertical overlap of every candle against the profile grid.
The Math: Volume Per Bin = Total Candle Volume / Bins Touched.
The Result: If a single volatile candle spans 10 price rows (bins), the script mathematically divides that volume and distributes it equally into all 10 array indices. This generates a solid, continuous distribution curve that accurately reflects price action through the entire candle range, not just the close.
B. Dynamic Arrays & Split-Volume Logic The script initializes two separate floating-point arrays (buyVolArray and sellVolArray) sized to the user's resolution (up to 300 rows). It iterates through the specific time-window of the swing:
If Close >= Open, the calculated volume slice is injected into the Buy Array.
If Close < Open, it is injected into the Sell Array.
These arrays are then visually stacked to render the dual-color profile, allowing traders to see the "Delta" (Buyer vs. Seller aggression) at key structural levels.
C. Custom Garbage Collection (Performance) To enable the "Auto-Anchoring" feature without causing chart lag or visual artifacts ("ghosting"), the script includes a Garbage Collection System. Before drawing a new profile, the script iterates through a tracking array of all existing objects (box.delete, line.delete) and clears them from memory. This ensures the indicator remains lightweight and responsive even when dragging chart margins or switching timeframes.
3. The Synthesis: Why Combine Them? The core philosophy of this script is Confluence . A Fibonacci level without volume is merely a suggestion; a Fibonacci level backed by volume is a defensive wall. By algorithmically anchoring a Volume Profile to the exact coordinates of a Fibonacci swing, this tool allows traders to instantly answer critical questions:
"Is the Golden Pocket (0.618) supported by a High Volume Node (HVN), or is it a Low Volume Node (LVN) that price might slice through?"
"Is the Shallow Retracement (0.382) holding because of structural support, or just a lack of selling pressure?"
4. How to Read the Indicator
The Geometry: The script automatically detects the trend and draws standard Fib levels (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0).
The Confluence Check: Look for the Point of Control (Red Line). If this High Volume Node aligns with a key Fib level (e.g., the 0.618), the probability of a reversal increases significantly.
The Imbalance Check: Look for "Valleys" in the profile (Low Volume Nodes). These gaps often act as "slippage zones" where price travels quickly between structural levels.
Buy/Sell Splits: The dual-color bars (Teal/Red) reveal the composition of the volume. A 0.618 level held up by dominant Buy Volume is a stronger bullish signal than one with mixed volume.
5. Settings & Customization
Lookback Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (Default: 200 bars).
Resolution: Granularity of the profile rows (Default: 100). Higher values provide smoother definition.

Period Range AnalyzerThis indicator analyzes a specific periodic range, which can start from a fixed date or a defined lookback period. It draws percentage levels and colored zones between the highest and lowest price. It also displays a detailed information table, which shows the price's position within the range in "Trend" mode, and the relative strength of currency pairs in "Forex" mode. The current price position is also indicated by a label with a percentage value and the name of the corresponding zone.
User Guide
Calculation Method
This setting determines how the indicator defines the range used for the calculation.
Lookback Period: In this mode, the indicator uses the last N candles (the number can be specified in the "Lookback Period (bars)" field). The range (the highest and lowest price) is "floating," meaning it is recalculated with each new candle based on the last N candles.
Date Based: In this mode, the calculation starts from a fixed date and time you select. The indicator finds the opening price of the start date and continuously tracks the highest and lowest price from that point on. This mode is ideal for measuring performance from a specific event (e.g., start of a week/month/year, news).
Data Handling Note: If you select a date in "Date Based" mode for which no data is available on the current timeframe (e.g., switching to a very low timeframe), the indicator will automatically use the earliest available candle as the starting point. All calculations (Open, Max, Min, Range, Percentage, Change, Trend) are based on this actual start date.
Start Date & Time
This setting is only active in "Date Based" mode.
Here you can specify the fixed starting point for the calculation.
The specified time is in the Exchange timezone.
Important limitation: Due to PulseWire platform limits, visual elements (levels, zones) are only drawn for a maximum of 250 candles back. If the set date is older than this, the calculation still applies to the entire period (from the set date), but the drawing only covers the last 250 candles. The table always displays accurate data for the entire period.
When switching to a higher timeframe, the range may restart from a slightly later bar due to PulseWire's bar alignment. For best accuracy, set your timeframe first, then select the start date.
Table Mode
This setting controls what data the information table displays.
Trend: This is the default mode, which works on any symbol (stock, index, crypto, etc.). It displays information related to the trend and the range.
Forex: This is a special mode used to measure the strength of currency and crypto pairs. It only works on symbols with exactly 6 characters (e.g., "EURUSD", "BTCUSD"). It treats the first 3 characters as the base currency (e.g., EUR) and the last 3 as the quote currency (e.g., USD). If the symbol does not have 6 characters, the table will automatically display in "Trend" mode.
Trend
This trend determination operates based on the formation order of the high and low within the analyzed range:
Its switch is located in the “Table Additional Rows” menu.
Bullish: Indicated if the low was formed before the high (on different candles). Or if they formed on the same candle, it was a bullish candle.
Bearish: Indicated if the high was formed before the low (on different candles). Or if they formed on the same candle, it was a bearish candle.
Neutral: Indicated if the high and low formed on the same candle, and it was a "doji" candle (close = open).
Upper & Lower Threshold
These settings (Upper Threshold (%) and Lower Threshold (%) in the "Label Coloring" section) primarily determine the state (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) of the top row of the table.
The logic is not based on the percentage change of the price movement, but on the current price's position within the range, where the bottom of the range is 0% and the top is 100%.
Upper Threshold (%): The percentage level (e.g., 60.0) above which the indicator considers the price position "Bullish" (or "Strong").
Lower Threshold (%): The percentage level (e.g., 40.0) below which the indicator considers the price position "Bearish" (or "Weak").
If the price is between the two (e.g., between 40% and 60%), the signal is Neutral.
Secondary function: These thresholds also control the color of the label next to the price, provided the "Dynamic Label Coloring" option is enabled.

Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.
🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown
(a) Inputs
Input Description Default Notes
atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity
minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility
maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility
isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view)
(b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback
Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates:
lookback
=
SMA(ATR,10)
/
SMA(Close,10)
×
500
lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500
Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set PulseWire alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle. Indicator

Metallic Retracement ToolI made a version of the Metallic Retracement script where instead of using automatic zig-zag detection, you get to place the points manually. When you add it to the chart, it prompts you to click on two points. These two points become your swing range, and the indicator calculates all the metallic retracement levels from there and plots them on your chart. You can drag the points around afterwards to adjust the range, or just add the indicator to the chart again to place a completely new set of points.
The mathematical foundation is identical to the original Metallic Retracement indicator. You're still working with metallic means, which are the sequence of constants that generalize the golden ratio through the equation x² = kx + 1. When k equals 1, you get the golden ratio. When k equals 2, you get silver. Bronze is 3, and so on forever. Each metallic number generates its own set of retracement ratios by raising alpha to various negative powers, where alpha equals (k + sqrt(k² + 4)) / 2. The script algorithmically calculates these levels instead of hardcoding them, which means you can pick any metallic number you want and instantly get its complete retracement sequence.
What's different here is the control. Automatic zig-zag detection is useful when you want the indicator to find swings for you, but sometimes you have a specific price range in mind that doesn't line up with what the zig-zag algorithm considers significant. Maybe you're analyzing a move that's still developing and hasn't triggered the zig-zag's reversal thresholds yet. Maybe you want to measure retracements from an arbitrary high to an arbitrary low that happened weeks apart with tons of noise in between. Manual placement lets you define exactly which two points matter for your analysis without fighting with sensitivity settings or waiting for confirmation.
The interactive placement system uses PulseWire's built-in drawing tools, so clicking the two points feels natural and works the same way as drawing a trendline or fibonacci retracement. First click sets your starting point, second click sets your ending point, and the indicator immediately calculates the range and draws all the metallic levels extending from whichever point you chose as the origin. If you picked a swing low and then a swing high, you get retracement levels projecting upward. If you went from high to low, they project downward.
Moving the points after placement is as simple as grabbing one of them and dragging it to a new location. The retracement levels recalculate in real-time as you move the anchor points, which makes it easy to experiment with different range definitions and see how the levels shift. This is particularly useful when you're trying to figure out which swing points produce retracement levels that line up with other technical features like previous support or resistance zones. You can slide the points around until you find a configuration that makes sense for your analysis.
Adding the indicator to the chart multiple times lets you compare different metallic means on the same price range, or analyze multiple ranges simultaneously with different metallic numbers. You could have golden ratio retracements on one major swing and silver ratio retracements on a smaller correction within that swing. Since each instance of the indicator is independent, you can mix and match metallic numbers and ranges however you want without one interfering with the other.
The settings work the same way as the original script. You select which metallic number to use, control how many power ratios to display above and below the 1.0 level, and adjust how many complete retracement cycles you want drawn. The levels extend from your manually placed swing points just like they would from automatically detected pivots, showing you where price might react based on whichever metallic mean you've selected.
What this version emphasizes is that retracement analysis is subjective in terms of which swing points you consider significant. Automatic detection algorithms make assumptions about what constitutes a meaningful reversal, but those assumptions don't always match your interpretation of the price action. By giving you manual control over point placement, this tool lets you apply metallic retracement concepts to exactly the price ranges you care about, without requiring those ranges to fit someone else's definition of a valid swing. You define the context, the indicator provides the mathematical framework. Indicator
