ADW - Colour TrendColour Trend is an indicator that will give you a visual representation of the trend in a selected market, and alert you when the trend changes. The green colour represents a bullish trend (prices are going up), the red colour represents a bearish trend (prices are going down), and silver represents a neutral trend (prices are relatively stable). The script calculates these trends based on the relative price levels and their moving averages.
Below is a breakdown of the script so you can better understand how these trends are defined.
Function f_p(_length, price) : This function calculates the price relative to its highest and lowest point over the given `_length` of time. This calculation is normalized by multiplying it by 100, giving us a percentage-like measure.
User Inputs : The length of the period (default 12), you can choose to show or hide bar colours (default is true).
Variables cycle_avg, cycle_counter, cycle_count, cycle_trend, cycle_col : These variables are used to calculate the trend cycles. The `cycle_avg` is the average trend cycle, `cycle_counter` keeps track of the current trend cycle, `cycle_count` counts the total number of cycles, `cycle_trend` keeps track of the direction of the cycle (1 for up, -1 for down), and `cycle_col` defines the colour of the current cycle.
Variables ph, pl, avg, mean : These variables calculate the price level relative to the highest and lowest prices (`ph` and `pl`), the average of these two levels (`avg`), and the cumulative average of the price level (`mean`).
Conditionals for cycle trend : The if-statements are checking whether the price level has reached a trend extreme and then updating the trend cycle, colour, count, and average accordingly.
Variable col and bar color : The variable `col` is used to define the colour of the bars based on the average price level. If the `show_barcolor` is true, the colour is determined based on the `avg` value.
Alert Conditions : These are conditions that will send alerts to the user when the trend changes. Specifically, the alerts occur when the colour changes from non-green to green (bull trend), from non-red to red (bear trend), or from non-silver to silver (no trend).

ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure (Expo)█ Concept Overview
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology is focused on understanding the actions and implications of the so-called "smart money" - large institutions and professional traders who often influence market movements. Key to this is the concept of market structure and how it can provide insights into potential price moves.
Over time, however, there has been a notable shift in how some traders interpret and apply this methodology. Initially, it was designed with a focus on the fractal nature of markets. Fractals are recurring patterns in price action that are self-similar across different time scales, providing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of market structure.
However, as the ICT methodology has grown in popularity, there has been a drift away from this fractal-based perspective. Instead, many traders have started to focus more on pivot points as their primary tool for understanding market structure.
Pivot points provide static levels of potential support and resistance. While they can be useful in some contexts, relying heavily on them could provide a skewed perspective of market structure. They offer a static, backward-looking view that may not accurately reflect real-time changes in market sentiment or the dynamic nature of markets.
This shift from a fractal-based perspective to a pivot point perspective has significant implications. It can lead traders to misinterpret market structure and potentially make incorrect trading decisions.
To highlight this issue, you've developed a Donchian Structure indicator that mirrors the use of pivot points. The Donchian Channels are formed by the highest high and the lowest low over a certain period, providing another representation of potential market extremes. The fact that the Donchian Structure indicator produces the same results as pivot points underscores the inherent limitations of relying too heavily on these tools.
While the Donchian Structure indicator or pivot points can be useful tools, they should not replace the original, fractal-based perspective of the ICT methodology. These tools can provide a broad overview of market structure but may not capture the intricate dynamics and real-time changes that a fractal-based approach can offer.
It's essential for traders to understand these differences and to apply these tools correctly within the broader context of the ICT methodology and the Smart Money Concept Structure. A well-rounded approach that incorporates fractals, along with other tools and forms of analysis, is likely to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of market structure.
█ Smart Money Concept - Misunderstandings
The Smart Money Concept is a popular concept among traders, and it's based on the idea that the "smart money" - typically large institutional investors, market makers, and professional traders - have superior knowledge or information, and their actions can provide valuable insight for other traders.
One of the biggest misunderstandings with this concept is the belief that tracking smart money activity can guarantee profitable trading.
█ Here are a few common misconceptions:
Following Smart Money Equals Guaranteed Success: Many traders believe that if they can follow the smart money, they will be successful. However, tracking the activity of large institutional investors and other professionals isn't easy, as they use complex strategies, have access to information not available to the public, and often intentionally hide their moves to prevent others from detecting their strategies.
Instantaneous Reaction and Results: Another misconception is that market movements will reflect smart money actions immediately. However, large institutions often slowly accumulate or distribute positions over time to avoid moving the market drastically. As a result, their actions might not produce an immediate noticeable effect on the market.
Smart Money Always Wins: It's not accurate to assume that smart money always makes the right decisions. Even the most experienced institutional investors and professional traders make mistakes, misjudge market conditions, or are affected by unpredictable events.
Smart Money Activity is Transparent: Understanding what constitutes smart money activity can be quite challenging. There are many indicators and metrics that traders use to try and track smart money, such as the COT (Commitments of Traders) reports, Level II market data, block trades, etc. However, these can be difficult to interpret correctly and are often misleading.
Assuming Uniformity Among Smart Money: 'Smart Money' is not a monolithic entity. Different institutional investors and professional traders have different strategies, risk tolerances, and investment horizons. What might be a good trade for a long-term institutional investor might not be a good trade for a short-term professional trader, and vice versa.
█ Market Structure
The Smart Money Concept Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts or changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market.
█ Three common concepts in this regard are Change of Character (CHoCH), and Shift in Market Structure (SMS), Break of Structure (BMS/BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): This refers to a noticeable change in the behavior of price movement, which could suggest that a shift in the market might be about to occur. This might be signaled by a sudden increase in volatility, a break of a trendline, or a change in volume, among other things.
Shift in Market Structure (SMS): This is when the overall structure of the market changes, suggesting a potential new trend. It usually involves a sequence of lower highs and lower lows for a downtrend, or higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend.
Break of Structure (BMS/BoS): This is when a previously defined trend or pattern in the price structure is broken, which may suggest a trend continuation.
A key component of this approach is the use of fractals, which are repeating patterns in price action that can give insights into potential market reversals. They appear at all scales of a price chart, reflecting the self-similar nature of markets.
█ Market Structure - Misunderstandings
One of the biggest misunderstandings about the ICT approach is the over-reliance or incorrect application of pivot points. Pivot points are a popular tool among traders due to their simplicity and easy-to-understand nature. However, when it comes to the Smart Money Concept and trying to follow the steps of professional traders or large institutions, relying heavily on pivot points can create misconceptions and lead to confusion. Here's why:
Delayed and Static Information: Pivot points are inherently backward-looking because they're calculated based on the previous period's data. As such, they may not reflect real-time market dynamics or sudden changes in market sentiment. Furthermore, they present a static view of market structure, delineating pre-defined levels of support and resistance. This static nature can be misleading because markets are fundamentally dynamic and constantly changing due to countless variables.
Inadequate Representation of Market Complexity: Markets are influenced by a myriad of factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, institutional actions, and market sentiment, among others. Relying on pivot points alone for reading market structure oversimplifies this complexity and can lead to a myopic understanding of market dynamics.
False Signals and Misinterpretations: Pivot points can often give false signals, especially in volatile markets. Prices might react to these levels temporarily but then continue in the original direction, leading to potential misinterpretation of market structure and sentiment. Also, a trader might wrongly perceive a break of a pivot point as a significant market event, when in fact, it could be due to random price fluctuations or temporary volatility.
Over-simplification: Viewing market structure only through the lens of pivot points simplifies the market to static levels of support and resistance, which can lead to misinterpretation of market dynamics. For instance, a trader might view a break of a pivot point as a definite sign of a trend, when it could just be a temporary price spike.
Ignoring the Fractal Nature of Markets: In the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure, understanding the fractal nature of markets is crucial. Fractals are self-similar patterns that repeat at all scales and provide a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of market structure. They can help traders identify shifts in market sentiment or direction in real-time, providing more relevant and timely information compared to pivot points.
The key takeaway here is not that pivot points should be entirely avoided or that they're useless. They can provide valuable insights and serve as a useful tool in a trader's toolbox when used correctly. However, they should not be the sole or primary method for understanding the market structure, especially in the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure.
█ Fractals
Instead, traders should aim for a comprehensive understanding of markets that incorporates a range of tools and concepts, including but not limited to fractals, order flow, volume analysis, fundamental analysis, and, yes, even pivot points. Fractals offer a more dynamic and nuanced view of the market. They reflect the recursive nature of markets and can provide valuable insights into potential market reversals. Because they appear at all scales of a price chart, they can provide a more holistic and real-time understanding of market structure.
In contrast, the Smart Money Concept Structure, focusing on fractals and comprehensive market analysis, aims to capture a more holistic and real-time view of the market. Fractals, being self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales, offer a dynamic understanding of market structure. As a result, they can help to identify shifts in market sentiment or direction as they happen, providing a more detailed and timely perspective.
Furthermore, a comprehensive market analysis would consider a broader set of factors, including order flow, volume analysis, and fundamental analysis, which could provide additional insights into 'smart money' actions.
█ Donchian Structure
Donchian Channels are a type of indicator used in technical analysis to identify potential price breakouts and trends, and they may also serve as a tool for understanding market structure. The channels are formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low over a certain number of periods, creating an envelope of price action.
Donchian Channels (or pivot points) can be useful tools for providing a general view of market structure, and they may not capture the intricate dynamics associated with the Smart Money Concept Structure. A more nuanced approach, centered on real-time fractals and a comprehensive analysis of various market factors, offers a more accurate understanding of 'smart money' actions and market structure.
█ Here is why Donchian Structure may be misleading:
Lack of Nuance: Donchian Channels, like pivot points, provide a simplified view of market structure. They don't take into account the nuanced behaviors of price action or the complex dynamics between buyers and sellers that can be critical in the Smart Money Concept Structure.
Limited Insights into 'Smart Money' Actions: While Donchian Channels can highlight potential breakout points and trends, they don't necessarily provide insights into the actions of 'smart money'. These large institutional traders often use sophisticated strategies that can't be easily inferred from price action alone.
█ Indicator Overview
We have built this Donchian Structure indicator to show that it returns the same results as using pivot points. The Donchian Structure indicator can be a useful tool for market analysis. However, it should not be seen as a direct replacement or equivalent to the original Smart Money concept, nor should any indicator based on pivot points. The indicator highlights the importance of understanding what kind of trading tools we use and how they can affect our decisions.
The Donchian Structure Indicator displays CHoCH, SMS, BoS/BMS, as well as premium and discount areas. This indicator plots everything in real-time and allows for easy backtesting on any market and timeframe. A unique candle coloring has been added to make it more engaging and visually appealing when identifying new trading setups and strategies. This candle coloring is "leading," meaning it can signal a structural change before it actually happens, giving traders ample time to plan their next trade accordingly.
█ How to use
The indicator is great for traders who want to simplify their view on the market structure and easily backtest Smart Money Concept Strategies. The added candle coloring function serves as a heads-up for structure change or can be used as trend confirmation. This new candle coloring feature can generate many new Smart Money Concepts strategies.
█ Features
Market Structure
The market structure is based on the Donchian channel, to which we have added what we call 'Structure Response'. This addition makes the indicator more useful, especially in trending markets. The core concept involves traders buying at a discount and selling or shorting at a premium, depending on the order flow. Structure response enables traders to determine the order flow more clearly. Consequently, more trading opportunities will appear in trending markets.
Structure Candles
Structure Candles highlight the current order flow and are significantly more responsive to structural changes. They can provide traders with a heads-up before a break in structure occurs

NOMMO AUTOMATE🖖 Hi all!
Check out my NOMMO AUTOMATE indicator for trend detection, trend change points, hedging opposite trend impulses.
What the script do:
☑️ Detecting local and global trends and trend change points, detecting opposite to current trend impulses.
How the script do it:
☑️ The indicator compares RSI indicators on chosen by user Trend TF1 and Trend TF2 and marks trend change points.
☑️ The indicator compares different length HMA indicators on chosen by user Hedge TF to detect opposite to current trend impulses.
How to use it:
☑️ There are 4 states in the indicator: Long, Short, Flat, Hedge, marked by corresponding (adjustable) color zones, where Long = uptrend, Short = downtrend, Flat = sideways movement, Hedge = possible impulse in the opposite trend direction.
☑️ Select Trend TF1 and Trend TF2 and RSI length to determine the trend, depending on how a big picture you want to see, the more major TF you choose the more global picture of the trend change you get.
☑️ Select Hedge TF to determine the possible impulses opposite to the current trend (does not work in detected Flat movement).
☑️ For each trading pair you need to try individual settings, the default settings I use for BTC swing trading, to reduce the noise level of hedging put Hedge TF the same as the smaller Trend TF.
☑️ Try different settings, experiment and you will find the most suitable settings for your trading pair.
How magic works:
☑️ RSI Trend TF1 > 50 + RSI Trend TF2 > 50 = Long
☑️ RSI Trend TF1 > 50 + RSI Trend TF2 < 50 = Flat
☑️ RSI Trend TF1 < 50 + RSI Trend TF2 > 50 = Flat
☑️ RSI Trend TF1 < 50 + RSI Trend TF2 < 50 = Short
☑️ Long + Hedge TF (HMA 10 < HMA 70 < HMA 200) = Hedge
☑️ Short + Hedge TF (HMA 10 > HMA 70 > HMA 200) = Hedge
For example:
☑️ Try Trend TF1 = 1D, Trend TF2 = 1D and Hedge TF = 1D, with RSI period = 21, to check mid-term trend on BTCUSD
May the trade force be with you. Indicator

Pivot Highs&lows: Short/Medium/Long-term + Spikeyness FilterShows Pivot Highs & Lows defined or 'Graded' on a fractal basis: Short-term, medium-term and long-term. Also applies 'Spikeyness' condition by default to filter-out weak/rounded pivots
ES1! 4hr chart (CME) shown above, with lookback = 15; clearly identifying the major highs & lows on the basis of how they are fractally 'nested' within lesser Pivots.
-- in the above chart Short term pivot highs (STH) are simply represented by green 'ʌ', and short-term pivot lows (STL) are simply represented by orange 'v'.
//Basics: (as applying to pivot highs, the following is reversed for pivot lows)
-Short term highs (STH) are simple pivot highs, albeit refined from standard with the 'spikeyness' filter.
-Medium-term highs (MTH) are defined as having a lower STH on either side of them.
-Long-term highs (LTH) are defined as having a lower MTH on either side of them.
//Purpose:
-Education: Quick and easy visualization of the strength or importance of a pivot high or low; a way of grading them based on their larger context.
-Backtesting: use in combination with other trading methods when backtesting to see the relative significance and price sensitivity of LTHs/LTLs compared to lower grade highs and lows.
//Settings:
-Choose Pivot lookback/lookforward bars: One setting, the basis from which all further pivot calculations are done.
-Toggle on/off 'Spikeyness' condition to filter-out weak/rounded/unimpressive pivot highs or lows (default is ON).
-Toggle on/off each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL; and choose label text-styles/colors/sizes independently.
-Set text Vertically, horizonally, or simply use 'ʌ' or 'v' symbols if you want to declutter your chart.
//Usage notes:
-Pivots take time to print (lookback bars must have elapsed before confirmation). Fractally nested pivots as here (i.e. a LTH), take even longer to print/confirm, so please be patient.
-Works across timeframes & Assets. Different timeframes may require slightly tweaked lookback/forward settings for optimal use; default is 15 bars.
Example usage with just symbolic labels short-term, med-term, long-term with 1x, 2x and 3x ʌ/v respectively:

Three-Day Rolling PivotThe three-day rolling pivot is another pivot concept,
which may be used by intermediate positions, for several days or even weeks.
It can be utilized in many ways, such as to determine an entry point or trailing stop.
As the name suggests, this pivot is based on the last three days.
I learned this concept of the book "The logical Trader" by Mark Fisher.
Kudos go to him!
My version of the Three-Day Rolling Pivot uses actual data!
And all similar scripts I have found so far calculate future data and don't take into account the original data.
I hope this script will help some people to do some better decisions.
And I am pleased to get some advice to make this script even better!
Future data vs original data
Pine Script v5 Reference Manual:
Merge strategy for the requested data position... This merge strategy can lead to undesirable effect of getting data from "future" on calculation on history. This is unacceptable in backtesting strategies, but can be useful in indicators.
e2e4 on Stack Overflow said:
Pine v1-v2's security() function is using the lookahead parameter by default, which could be modified in v3-v5...
stackoverflow.com
I haven't found a script which put this into account jet.
I leave this option available for people that wanna more speculated data. But it's disabled by default.
Long/Short Example
You can enter Long when the market cross over the upper line (default color is green) and you should put your trailing stop 1-5 ticks below the lower line (default color is red).
The opposite when Shorting, then the market has to cross down the lower line and your trailing stop should be 1-5 ticks above the upper line.
How does this script work:
First it fetches the highest high of ...
yesterday,
the day before yesterday,
and the day before that.
After that the script looks for the highest high of all three.
Next it does the same for previous lowest low.
Last but not least, it fetches the closing price of the last day.
After that it adds all three prices together and divide them by three.
This result in a three day pivot price.
Then it adds the highest high and lowest low of the three last days and divide it by two.
This gives us the second number we need to calculate the differential.
The differential is the gap between the three day pivot price and the second number.
Sometimes the second number is bigger than the three day pivot price so I took that into account too. Other wise the colors plotted would be on the wrong site.
Finally, the script is rounding the numbers to the nearest minimum tick of that security.

Multi-Timeframe High Low (@JP7FX)Multi-Timeframe High Low Levels (@JP7FX)
This Price Action indicator displays high and low levels from a selected timeframe on your current chart.
These levels COULD represent areas of potential liquidity, providing key price points where traders can target entries, reversals, or continuation trades.
Key Features:
Display high and low levels from a selected timeframe.
Customize line width, colors for high and low levels, and label text color.
Enable or disable the display of high levels, low levels, and labels.
Receive alerts when the price takes out high or low levels.
How to use:
It is important to note that using this indicator on it's own is not advisable. Instead, it should be combined with other tools and analysis for a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Possibly look to use my MTF Supply and Demand Indicator to look for zones to trade from at these levels?
If the price breaks above a high level, you might consider entering a long position, with the expectation that the price will continue to rise. Conversely, if the price breaks below a low level, you may think about entering a short position, anticipating further downward movement.
On the other hand, you can also use high or low levels to look for reversal trades, as these areas can represent attractive liquidity zones.
By identifying these key price points, you could take advantage of potential market reversals and capitalise on new trading opportunities.
Always remember to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for the best results.
Additionally, you can enable alerts to notify you when the price takes out high or low levels, helping you stay informed about significant price movements.
This indicator could be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify key price points for potential trading opportunities.
As always with the markets, Trade Safe :)

RSI Trendlines with BreakoutsA pivot-based breakout indicator that attempts to provide traders with a visual aid for finding breakouts on the RSI. Similar to how we use trendlines on our charts, using them on the Relative Strength Index can also give us a sense of direction in the markets.
This script uses its own pivot-based system that checks for real-time swing levels and triggers a new pivot event after every dip and nth bars. The breakout alerts that are given were not designed to be taken as signals since their purpose is to provide an extra bit of confluence. Because of this, I added no other conditions that try to make the alerts "perfect", but instead, print every breakout that is detected. Despite stating this, I did happen to add a condition that checks the difference in RSI and the breakout value, but that's as far as it'll go.
There are alerts built-in to the script, along with adjustable repainting options.
🔳 Settings
Lookback Range: Lookback period to trigger a new pivot point when conditions are met.
RSI Difference: The difference between the current RSI value and the breakout value. How much higher in value should the current RSI be compared to the breakout value in order to detect a breakout?
RSI Settings
Styling Options
🔳 Repaint Options
On: Allows repainting
Off - Bar Confirmation: Prevents repainting and generates alerts when the bar closes. (1 candle later)
🔳 How it Works
Before a trendline is drawn, the script retrieves the slope between the previous pivot point and the current. Then it adds or subtracts the slope x amount of times (based on the lookback range) from the current pivot value until the current x-axis is reached. By doing this we can get a trendline that will detect a breakout accurately.
The result
When using the RSI Difference condition, the script will print breakouts whenever the condition is true, because of this dotted lines were added to track where the alert was triggered.

Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)This script is tailored towards experienced traders who prefer to view raw price charts during live execution. It searches for a three-bar pattern of what is colloquially called "fair value gap", or "imbalance" and uses a single line to plot the results. The goal is to display price in a way that is as simple as possible so that chart readers who don't prefer to add indicators on their screen will still find this indicator as an acceptable option to consider for.
From a code perspective, this script explores a new PineScript feature called UDT (user-defined types). This is an incredible update because it brings developers one step close to having the ability to create abstract data types.
█ What is price action?
Experienced traders will tell you that the chart that they use for live execution is raw, clean, and uses no indicators. They say they execute on price action, so what exactly is price action?
There is no formal definition to it, but one can agree that it implies the process of analyzing price without considering the fundamentals, without needing to know what the news was about, and without needing to know any of the Greeks (except for the desire to “seek alpha” Ha.haa...). This is not to say that price action traders are executing in their own vacuums without the need to know what is happening around the world. Surely fundamentals and financial models can be used beforehand for developing a bias for what is being traded, but it’s price-first at the moment of execution. That said, Factor (A) is Price.
Factor (B) is time-perception, it’s how the trader reads the tape. How the trader perceives price to change with respect to time is valuable information. Interpretation of "time" will be elaborated in the next section that talks about candlestick patterns detected by this script.
Putting this together, price action means the analysis of price movement by only considering (A) price, and (B) time, to predict which direction the market will move. A speculative trader is timing the market with the expectation to make a quick in-and-out profit; she/she is using price action. On the other hand, a long term investor holding a diversified portfolio with a strategy based on modern portfolio theory combined with fundamental analysis (at this point candlesticks are irrelevant) but has one additional criteria of, say, can only go Long on a stock when it has closed Green on Daily; he/she is also considered to be executing on price action.
█ Candlestick patterns
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move = When High of the recent confirmed bar is lower than the Low of the previous-previous candle
B) Up move = When Low of the recent confirmed bar is higher than the High of the previous-previous candle
(Note that its the confirmed bar that is being talked about, so it does not repaint)
An ATR filter will be applied to reduce the number of lines generated as many times they might just be associated with minor price changes.
Interpretations:
When price moves quickly across three bars, it can be thought that it has gapped. Although the candle in the middle appears to be solid, it’s not from a conceptual perspective. This is because time itself is arbitrary; timeframes don’t necessarily have to be fixed intervals. Take stocks with regular trading hours for example, if price makes a breakaway gap and you bundle the after-hours and pre-market sessions together as one candle, never minding that intervals should be fixed, then you will see the exact three-bar-gap patterns. Similar happens during intraday sessions on lower timeframes, if you zoom-in closer, you’ll see that ticks within the middle candle are sparsely dispersed. This is why it's called a gap.
█ Parameters with fixed inputs & assumptions used:
ATR is used for filtering out minor movements that will likely be deemed as irrelevant by trader for the purpose of live execution. The following inputs are required:
A) ATR lookback period
B) Multiplier
The product of ATR(len=A) and B produces a threshold for minimum distance that price must gap by. Initially, it was proposed to be only based on one ATR, but often an ATR is too wide and using it will filter out too many lines. Because of this observation, a multiplier (Parameter B) has been introduced to allow users to apply fractional ATR as a threshold.
█ Applications:
For trend followers: Follow the direction of the gap. Entering above recent high/low points above/below the first impulse with a stop-limit order is a viable tactic.
For contrarians fading a trend: The mid-point is a good point of reference for predicting potential areas of support/resistance.
