ZenAlgo - GridOverview and anchoring logic
This indicator constructs a price grid based on a dynamically or manually defined price swing. The entire calculation starts by defining two anchor points that represent a completed directional move. These anchors can be selected in two ways:
Manually, by specifying a start time and an end time, where the indicator uses the candle corresponding to those times and selects either wick highs or lows depending on direction.
Automatically, by detecting significant swing points derived from recent price extremes over a configurable historical window.
The chosen anchors form a reference segment between point A and point B. This segment defines both direction and magnitude of the move. All subsequent levels and zones are derived relative to this segment, ensuring the grid adapts to current market structure rather than using fixed price distances.
Difference from traditional grid and Fibonacci tools
Unlike fixed price grids or standard Fibonacci tools that require manual anchoring and remain static once drawn, this indicator continuously derives its grid from the most relevant completed price swing. Instead of treating levels as independent horizontal prices, all values are expressed as proportions of a single measured move, allowing the grid to automatically rescale and realign as market structure evolves.
Market structure detection and directional context
Before the grid itself is drawn, the script continuously evaluates price structure using swing detection over two different sensitivities. Larger swings establish the dominant structural direction, while smaller swings can optionally be shown for internal context.
Swing highs and swing lows are detected by comparing historical highs and lows over a rolling window.
When price crosses above or below the most recent structural level, the script classifies the event as either a continuation in the same direction or a change in direction.
This structural state determines whether the grid is treated as upward or downward and influences the visual orientation of labels and zones.
This step matters because retracement and extension levels only have meaning when referenced to a clearly defined directional move.
Primary range construction between anchors
Once the anchor points are established, the indicator measures the vertical price distance between them. This distance is treated as a normalized range rather than an absolute value. Every level drawn afterward is positioned as a proportional offset of this range.
If the second anchor is above the first, the grid is considered bullish.
If the second anchor is below the first, the grid is considered bearish.
Colors and label orientation adapt automatically to this direction.
By normalizing the range, the grid remains comparable across assets and timeframes.
Retracement and extension level placement
The indicator plots a predefined set of proportional levels between and beyond the anchor points. Each level represents a fraction or multiple of the original move.
Lower values correspond to deeper retracements toward the origin of the move.
Mid-range values represent partial pullbacks within the move.
Higher values extend beyond the move, projecting potential continuation zones.
Each level is drawn as a horizontal line extending into future bars, accompanied by a label. Labels can be shown either as descriptive names or as raw proportional values, depending on user preference.
Zone construction instead of single levels
Rather than relying only on precise price lines, the indicator groups selected proportions into zones. This reflects the observation that price interaction typically occurs across ranges rather than at exact prices.
A retracement zone highlights an area between two closely spaced proportional levels.
A projection zone marks a continuation region beyond the measured move.
These zones are drawn as shaded areas extending forward in time.
Visual reference points
The indicator explicitly marks the two anchor points on the chart.
Point A represents the origin of the measured move.
Point B represents the completion of that move.
This allows the user to visually verify which price swing the grid is derived from.
How to interpret the values
All plotted levels express proportional relationships to the measured move, not independent price predictions.
Lower proportional values indicate proximity to the start of the move.
Mid-range values represent partial retracements.
Higher values indicate projected continuation areas.
How to best use this indicator
This indicator serves as a structural reference tool rather than a signal generator.
Apply it after a clear directional swing has formed.
Use higher-timeframe context to validate anchor selection.
Combine the grid with price behavior and other contextual tools.
Limitations and disclaimers
This indicator is purely proportional and structure-based.
It does not incorporate volume, volatility regimes, or fundamental data.
Automatic anchoring may differ from subjective swing selection.
Levels and zones represent reference areas, not guaranteed reaction points.
The indicator describes price structure and proportional relationships only.

- To remove a row, simply set its state to `Hidden`.
4. **Customize Style:**
- In the "Panel & Visual Style" section, adjust colors, text sizes, and the panel's position to match your chart's theme.
This tool is perfect for price action traders, ICT/SMC traders, or anyone who values a clean chart and a disciplined approach to their analysis. Indicator
Custom ATR Trailing StopThis Script creates a custom ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop. It allows traders to set up automated stop-loss levels based on the ATR, which adjusts dynamically to market volatility. The script is designed to support both long and short trades, offering flexibility and precision in trade management.
When loading the indicator to your chart, simply click to set the trade begining time, confirm various settings and you are set.
Check tooltips for more details in the input settigns menu.
User Inputs
Trade Setup: Allows users to set the trade direction (Long or Short), the signal source for entries, and the specific bar time for the trade setup.
ATR Settings: Configurable ATR lookback period, ATR smoothing period, initial ATR multiplier for setting the stop-loss, breakeven ATR multiplier, and a manual breakeven level.
ATR Calculations
Computes the ATR and its moving average.
Determines initial and breakeven stop levels based on the ATR.
Signal Validation
Validates long or short trade signals based on the specified bar time and trade direction.
Triggers alerts when a valid trade signal is detected.
Trailing Stop Logic
For long trades, adjusts the stop-loss level dynamically based on the ATR.
For short trades, performs similar adjustments in the opposite direction.
Updates the trailing stop level to ensure it follows the price, moving closer as the price moves favorably.
Resets the trade state when the stop-loss is hit, triggering an alert.

XABCD Harmonic Pattern Custom Range Interactive█ OVERVIEW
This indicator was designed based on Harmonic Pattern Book written by Scott Carney. It was simplified to user who may always used tools such as XABCD Pattern and Long Position / Short Position, which consume a lot of time, recommended for both beginner and expert of Harmonic Pattern Traders. XABCD Pattern require tool usage of Magnet tool either Strong Magnet, Week Magnet or none, which cause error or human mistake especially daily practice.
Simplified Guideline by sequence for Harmonic Pattern if using manual tools :
Step 1 : Trade Identification - XABCD Pattern
Step 2 : Trade Execution - Any manual tools of your choice
Step 3 : Trade Management - Position / Short Position
█ INSPIRATION
Inspired by design, code and usage of CAGR. Basic usage of custom range / interactive, pretty much explained here . Credits to PulseWire.
I use a lot of XABCD Pattern and Long Position / Short Position, require 5 to 10 minutes on average, upon determine the validity of harmonic pattern.
Upon creating this indicator, I believed that time can be reduced, gain more confidence, reduce error during drawing XABCD, which helps most of harmonic pattern users.
█ FEATURES
Table can positioned by any postion and font size can be resized.
Table can be display through optimized display or manual control.
Validility of harmonic pattern depends on BC ratio.
Harmonic pattern can be displayed fully or optimized while showing BC ratio validity.
Trade Execution at point D can be displayed on / off.
Stop Loss and Take Profit can be calculated automatically or manually.
Optimized table display based extend line setup and profit and loss setup.
Execution zone can be offset to Point C, by default using Point D.
Currency can be show or hide.
Profit and Loss can be displayed on axis once line is extended.
█ HOW TO USE
Step 1 : Trade Identification - Draw points from Point X to Point C. Dont worry about magnet, point will attached depends on High or Low of the candle.
Step 2 : Trade Execution - Check the validity of BC to determine the validity of harmonic pattern generated. Pattern only generate 1 pattern upon success. Otherwise, redraw to other points.
Step 3 : Trade Management - Determine the current candle either reach Point D or Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ). Check for Profit & Loss once reach PRZ.
█ USAGE LIMITATIONS
Harmonic Patterns only limits to patterns mentioned in Harmonic Trading Volume 3 due to other pattern may have other or different philosophy.
Only can be used for Daily timeframe and below due to bar_time is based on minutes by default.
Not recommended for Weekly and Monthly timeframe.
If Point X, A, B, C and D is next to each other, it is recommend to use lower timeframe.
Automated alert is not supported for this release. However, alert can be done manually. Alert will updated on the version.
█ PINE SCRIPT LIMITATIONS
Known bug for when calculate time in array, causing label may not appeared or offset.
Unable to convert to library due to usage of array.get(). I prefer usage for a combination of array.get(id, 0), array.get(id, 1), array.get(id, 2) into custom function, however I faced this issue during make arrays of label. Index can be simply refered as int, for id, i not sure, already try id refered as simple, nothing happens.
linefill.new() will appeared as diamond box if overused.
Text in box.new() unable to use ternary condition or switch to change color. Bgcolor also affected.
Label display is larger than XABCD tool. Hopefully in future, have function to resize label similar to XABCD tools.
█ IMPORTANTS
Trade Management (Profit & Loss) is calculated from Point A to D.
Take Profit is calculated based on ratio 0.382 and 0.618 of Point A to D.
Always check BC validity before proceed to Trade Management.
Length of XABCD is equal to XAB plus BCD, where XAB and BCD are one to one ratio. Length is measured in time.
Use other oscillator to countercheck. Normally use built-in Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Divergence Indicator to determine starting point of Point X and A.
