Volatility Contraction Pattern [AGPro Series]Volatility Contraction Pattern
🧠 Core Idea
Is volatility contracting into a tighter and tighter base that is coiling toward a breakout pivot, and how high-quality is that setup?
This script is built to answer that one question with structure instead of guesswork.
📌 Overview / What It Does
Volatility Contraction Pattern is a breakout-readiness decision engine built around the classic VCP structure: a base where price pulls back in successive, progressively shallower contractions, coiling into a breakout pivot. It reads the swing structure as a zigzag, measures each contraction leg, and counts how many recent legs are tightening into the present.
From that it builds a single 0-100 readiness score by weighing four things: how many successive contractions are present, how tight the latest contraction is relative to ATR, whether the base sits inside a constructive trend, and whether volume is drying up into the base. It then marks the pivot breakout level at the most recent swing high, a tight invalidation at the latest contraction low, a measured-move target projected from the base height, and a clear next-action state.
It does NOT predict price, generate buy or sell signals, or automate trades. It organizes the base-and-breakout picture into a structured, scored read so a contraction setup is easier to recognize and plan around. Every output is analytical context, not a recommendation.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
Most breakout tools react to a single breakout bar after it prints, or they mark a generic low-volatility squeeze and leave the rest to interpretation. Far fewer frame the multi-contraction base as a staged, scored readiness with a defined pivot and a tight, structural risk reference.
This engine was built to fill that gap. It is for the patient trader who prefers to wait for a proper base to form rather than chasing every move, and who values a tight, well-defined risk reference. It supports a base-and-breakout mindset: let the contraction sequence develop, read how ready and how tight it is, mark the pivot and the invalidation, and let broader market context confirm or deny the idea. The aim is structured patience, not a shortcut around it.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools mark a single squeeze state or fire the instant a breakout bar appears.
This script does NOT call the breakout, does NOT fire trade signals, and does NOT treat one tight bar as a setup.
Instead, it stages the whole contraction sequence. It counts successive tightening legs, measures current tightness in ATR, and resolves the base into a 0-100 readiness score with a pivot breakout level, a tight invalidation at the latest contraction low, and a measured-move target. The result is a calm, structured base read with a defined risk reference, rather than a backward-looking alert or a single-bar trigger.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
An ATR baseline and an EMA trend backbone with a slope check describe the current environment.
2. Structure Mapping
Swing highs and lows are tracked as an alternating zigzag. The amplitude of each recent leg is measured to describe the contraction sequence.
3. Contraction Evaluation
The engine counts how many successive legs are tightening into the present, measures the latest contraction tightness against ATR, checks trend context, and reads volume dry-up. These combine into a single 0-100 quality score, and the base resolves into a state.
4. Visual Output
The base zone, pivot breakout level, tight invalidation, measured-move target, a centered readiness badge, and moderate state labels are rendered cleanly on the chart and in the panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
- Base zone: a shaded box spanning the contraction base from its low to its high, tinted by the current state.
- Pivot line and tag: the breakout level at the most recent swing high, the trigger reference.
- Invalidation line and tag: the latest contraction low, the tight structural risk reference.
- Target line and tag: the measured-move objective projected from the base height above the pivot.
- Readiness badge: centered inside the base zone, showing the state and its 0-100 score.
- State labels: compact markers when the pattern enters Pivot Ready, Breakout, or Reset.
- Panel: a fixed readout of state, quality score, pivot, target, contractions and tightness, invalidation, and action.
🚦 Signals & States
- No Base: not enough structure to define a contraction base.
- Base Forming: a base is developing but not yet tight or built enough.
- Coiling: successive contractions are tightening and readiness is building.
- Pivot Ready: the base is tight and near the pivot, with a qualifying score.
- Breakout: price has moved beyond the pivot level.
- Reset: the base was invalidated below its risk reference.
These are interpretive states, not instructions. Pivot Ready does not mean buy; it means the base is tight and near its trigger in the current context.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Three optional alerts are available:
- Pivot Ready: triggers when the base becomes pivot-ready.
- Breakout: triggers when price moves beyond the pivot.
- Pattern Reset: triggers when the base is invalidated.
Alerts are attention markers that point you back to the chart for context. They are not trade instructions and carry no guarantee of any outcome.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The score is itself a confluence read. When the contraction count, the latest-leg tightness, the trend context, and the volume dry-up all agree, the score is higher and the base is more pronounced. When they disagree, the score stays moderate and the state often remains Base Forming, which is information in itself: the base is not yet a clean contraction.
📊 When to Use
- After a strong move, when price begins to base and contract rather than trend.
- In constructive consolidations where pullbacks are getting shallower.
- As a continuation-base overlay alongside your own structure and risk framework.
- On liquid symbols with enough swing history for the structure to form.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
- In choppy markets with no clear base structure.
- In very low-liquidity symbols or sessions, where swings are unreliable.
- In extremely noisy conditions, where levels are violated erratically.
- As a standalone entry trigger, or in isolation from market context and risk.
🎛️ Key Inputs
- Swing Strength and Swing Memory: how swings are detected and how many are retained.
- Base Swing Window: how many recent swings define the active base.
- Trend Backbone EMA and Slope Bars: the trend-context weighting.
- Use Volume Dry-Up and its windows: whether and how decreasing volume contributes.
- Tightness Scale: the ATR reference for scoring contraction tightness.
- Pivot-Ready Score, Pivot Proximity, Ready Tightness: thresholds that define a pivot-ready base.
- Visual, label, and panel controls: base zone, pivot, target and invalidation lines and tags, label density, panel location, theme, and font size.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The panel is the primary readout, leading with the state and 0-100 score, then pivot, target, contractions and tightness, invalidation, and a concise action line. On the chart, the base zone anchors the structure, the pivot and invalidation give the trigger and the tight risk, and the measured-move target frames the objective. The readiness badge sits centered inside the base so the read is tied to the structure. Labels are kept moderate and fire only on state transitions so the chart stays clean. Panel location, theme, and font size are adjustable; the panel is shown by default for readability.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel: note the state and the quality score.
2. Check contractions and tightness: how many tightening legs, and how tight now.
3. Watch the pivot: the breakout reference at the top of the base.
4. Note the invalidation and target: the tight risk reference and the measured objective.
5. Confirm with your own market structure, higher-timeframe context, and risk framework before any decision.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Think of the read as a staged base readiness, not a forecast. A higher score means more successive contractions, tighter current price action, and better trend and volume context. A moderate score or a Base Forming state means the base is not yet clean and patience is warranted. The invalidation is a structural reference, not a hard line. Always interpret the base inside the broader market context rather than in isolation.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
- It is NOT a prediction engine and does not forecast price direction.
- It is NOT financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.
- It is NOT an automated trading system.
- It does NOT produce guaranteed signals or outcomes.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Outputs depend on detected swing structure and may differ across timeframes and symbols. Volatility, liquidity, and changing market conditions affect how bases form and how they resolve. A base can break out, fail, or simply drift; the engine describes current structure and cannot know the future. Any pivot can be exceeded or fail to be reached, and any base can be invalidated.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Bases tend to form after directional moves, as participants pause and pullbacks get shallower. Classic contraction structure pairs successively tighter pullbacks with drying volume, often inside a constructive trend. This engine encodes that logic into a single staged read, but broader market context always has the final word, and a tight base is a condition, not a promise.
🧾 Use Case Examples
- After a strong advance, price bases with two or three progressively tighter pullbacks: the engine moves from Base Forming to Coiling and may reach Pivot Ready near the pivot.
- Volume dries up into a tight base inside an uptrend: the quality score rises as contraction, tightness, trend, and volume align.
- Price breaks below the latest contraction low: the engine reports Reset, signaling the contraction structure has invalidated.
🧱 System Philosophy
This tool reflects the AGPro Series approach: convert a familiar but messy concept into a calm, structured, decision-support read. A contraction base is easy to misjudge by eye; the value is in staging it into an honest, scored read with a defined risk reference, while respecting the trader's own judgment rather than replacing it.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
This script makes no promise of profit, accuracy, or any specific result. It is an analytical and organizational tool. No certainty is offered or implied.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves substantial risk, and most participants can lose money. This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. All decisions, positions, and outcomes remain entirely your own responsibility. Always manage risk and trade within your own plan.
📚 Educational Note
Used as intended, the engine can sharpen how you think about contraction bases: how many tightening legs are present, how tight the base has become, where the pivot and the risk sit, and what would invalidate the structure. Treat it as a lens for structured analysis, and keep building your own market understanding alongside it.
Indicator
Effective Volume (Weighted by candle pattern)This is a indicator using candle : wick ratio to obtain a weighted volume.
useful for trader using volume-price action strategy.
the mechanism is easy:-
when it is full bullish / full bearish bar, the weighted volume exactly equal to the volume itself.
when it is a total wick bar , the weighted volume will be half of that time-frame volume
the weighted formula is simple mathematics due to body : wick ratio.
However, I find that it useful for me.

VCP Historical Score Histogram PM📊 VCP Historical Score Histogram
The VCP Historical Score Histogram is a specialized companion tool to the Pro Dashboard, designed to visualize the "silent" contraction of volatility over the history of a stock. While standard price action can look random, the VCP Score reveals the underlying institutional accumulation and the precise moments when a stock becomes "tight" enough to explode.
🔍 Why Use the Histogram?
VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) trading is all about timing. This indicator maps the multi-metric VCP Scoring Engine (0-100) across every bar on the chart, allowing you to identify Volatility Cyclicity.
By observing the score historically, you can:
Spot Accumulation: See the score gradually climbing from <30 to >70 as the "weak hands" are shaken out.
Verify Tightness: Historically correlate price consolidations with BBW (Bollinger Band Width) percentiles.
Detect Energy Buildup: High scores sustained over many weeks indicate a "coiled spring" setup.
🎨 Visual Intelligence
The histogram uses a sophisticated color-coding system to help you interpret the setup at a glance:
🔥 Emerald Green (70 - 100): High Conviction Zone. The stock is in a maximum contraction state with bullish trend alignment and high relative strength.
🟡 Gold (50 - 69): Watchlist Zone. Volatility is contracting, but the setup may need one more "t" (tightening) or a volume dry-up.
🔘 Slate Grey (< 50): Standard/Loose Action. The stock is either in a broad base or hasn't yet entered a high-probability VCP state.
⚡ Key Features
Peak Labeling: Automatically identifies and labels local score peaks, helping you find historical pivot highs where the setup was at its "tightest."
Squeeze Persistence: Features a built-in background highlight for TTM Squeeze states, allowing you to see how many bars the price has remained compressed before a move.
Benchmark Integration: Directly compares the symbol's momentum against a benchmark (like NIFTY 500) to ensure you are only trading the leaders of the market.
📉 Best Used With
This script is designed to be placed in a separate pane below the price chart. To complete the professional setup, use it alongside the VCP Pro Single Symbol Dashboard to have both deep-dive live metrics and historical trend visibility.
Methodology: Ported from Mayya Capital's quantitative VCP strategy research, focusing on Bollinger Band Width contraction, RVOL dry-ups, and 52-week high proximity.

Minervini Ultimate +VCPMinervini Ultimate Suite (SEPA Dashboard)
This indicator implements Mark Minervini's "Trend Template" criteria combined with a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) detector and a custom Relative Strength rating. It is designed to help traders visualize the technical health of a stock based on stage analysis concepts.
This indicator serves as a complete Control System (Dashboard) for Mark Minervini's SEPA trading strategy. Instead of manually checking five different metrics on every chart, this indicator performs the mathematical calculations and presents the "bottom line" in a single, organized table.
1. What This Indicator Does
The goal is to ensure you never enter a trade blindly. It verifies the stock against Minervini's strict requirements:
Trend: Is the stock in a healthy Stage 2 Uptrend?
Relative Strength: Is it stronger than the general market?
Buy Risk: Is it the right time to buy, or is the price extended?
Pressure: Are institutions accumulating or distributing?
VCP: Is there a breakout opportunity (volatility contraction) right now?
2. Key Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of drawing lines and calculating percentages manually, you get immediate visual feedback (Green/Red).
Discipline: The indicator will flag "Extended" (Red) if you attempt to buy a stock that has run up too much, saving you from late entries and unnecessary losses.
Precision Timing: The VCP feature (Blue Dots) helps you identify the "calm before the storm"—the exact moment volatility contracts, which often precedes a major breakout.
3. Indicator Parameters & Features
A. Minervini Pressure (Buying vs. Selling)
What it checks: Money flow over the last 20 days.
Calculation: Sums up volume on "Up Days" (Green) versus volume on "Down Days" (Red).
Meaning:
🟢 Buying: More money is entering than leaving. A sign of institutional accumulation.
🔴 Selling: Selling pressure dominates. The price may be rising, but without strong volume backing.
B. Buy Risk (Price Extension)
What it checks: The distance of the current price from the 50-Day Moving Average. Minervini strictly warns against "chasing" stocks.
Signals:
🟢 Low Risk: Price is within 0% – 15% of the 50MA. This is the ideal "Buy Zone".
🟡 Caution: Price is 15% – 25% away. Buy with increased caution.
🔴 Extended: Price is >25% from the MA. Do not buy. The probability of a pullback is high.
⚪ Broken: Price is below the 50MA. The short-term trend is damaged.
C. TPR - Trend Template (Trend Power Rating)
What it checks: Is the stock in a Stage 2 Uptrend?
Strict Rules (All must be true for a PASS):
Price > 50MA > 150MA > 200MA.
The 200MA is trending UP (positive slope).
Price is near the 52-Week High (within 25%).
Price is above the 52-Week Low (at least 25%).
Meaning:
🟢 PASSED: Technically healthy and ready to move.
🔴 FAILED: The trend structure is broken (e.g., MAs are entangled).
D. RPR Score (Relative Performance Rating)
What it checks: How strong the stock is compared to the general market (S&P 500 / SPY).
Calculation: Weighted performance over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months vs. the SPY. The score ranges from 1 to 99.
Meaning:
🟢 80-99: Market Leader. These are the stocks Minervini targets.
🟡 70-80: Good, but not elite.
⚪ Below 70: Laggard (weaker than the market).
E. VCP Action (Volatility Contraction Pattern)
What it checks: Monitors price tightness. It calculates the range between the highest close and lowest close over the last 5 days.
Meaning:
🔵 SQUEEZE (Blue Text + Blue Dot on Chart): The price range has contracted to less than 2.5%.
Why it matters: When a stock stops moving wildly and trades in a tight range ("Flat Line"), it indicates supply has dried up. A high-volume breakout often follows immediately.
Indicator
EMA Shakeout DetectorEMA Shakeout & Reclaim Zones
Description:
This Pine Script helps traders quickly identify potential shakeout entries based on price action and volume dynamics. Shakeouts often signal strong accumulation, where institutions drive the stock below a key moving average before reclaiming it, creating an opportunity for traders to enter at favorable prices.
How It Works:
1. Volume Surge Filtering:
a. Computes the 51-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
b. Identifies days where volume surged 2x above the 51-day average.
c. Filters stocks that had at least two such high-volume days in the last 21 trading days (configurable).
2. Stock Selection Criteria:
a. The stock must be within 25% of its 52-week high.
b. It should have rallied at least 30% from its 52-week low.
Shakeout Conditions:
1. The stock must be trading above the 51-day EMA before the shakeout.
2. A sudden price drop of more than 10% occurs, pushing the stock below the 51-day EMA.
3. A key index (e.g., Nifty 50, S&P 500) must be trading above its 10-day EMA, ensuring overall market strength.
Visualization:
Shakeout zones are highlighted in blue, making it easier to spot potential accumulation areas and study price & volume action in more detail.
This script is ideal for traders looking to identify institutional shakeouts and gain an edge by recognizing high-probability reversal setups.

ADR Checker - Breakouts📈 ADR Checker – Breakouts
Gain the edge by knowing when a stock has already made its move.
🚀 What It Does:
The ADR Checker - Breakouts is a powerful yet simple visual tool that helps traders instantly assess whether a stock has already exceeded its Average Daily Range (ADR) for the day — a critical piece of information for momentum traders, swing traders, and especially those following breakout, VCP, or CANSLIM strategies.
Using a customizable on-screen table that always stays in view (regardless of zoom or chart scaling), this script shows:
✅ Average ADR% – 20-day average range, calculated in %.
📊 Today’s Move – how much the stock has moved today.
🔥 % of Avg ADR – today's move relative to its historical average, with live color feedback:
🟥 Over 100% (Overextended – danger!)
🟧 70-100% (Caution zone)
🟩 Below 70% (Room to move)
💡 Why It Matters:
One of the most overlooked mistakes by breakout traders is entering a trade after the move has already happened. If a stock has already moved more than its typical daily range, the odds of further continuation sharply decrease, while the risk of pullback or chop increases.
With this tool, you can:
🚫 Avoid chasing extended breakouts
🎯 Time entries before the real move
⚠️ Quickly assess risk/reward potential intraday
🧠 Example Use Case:
Imagine you're watching a classic VCP setup or flat base breakout. The stock breaks out on volume—but when you check this indicator, you see:
Today’s Move: 7.2%
Avg ADR: 5.3%
% of ADR: 135% 🟥
This tells you the stock is already well beyond its average daily range. While it may continue higher, odds now favor a consolidation, shakeout, or pullback. This is your cue to wait for a better entry or pass entirely.
On the flip side, if the breakout just started and the % of ADR is still under 50%, you have confirmation that there’s room to run — giving you more confidence to enter early.
⚙️ Fully Customizable:
Choose position on screen (top/bottom left/right)
Customize text color, background, and size
🔧 Install This Tool and:
✅ Stop chasing extended moves
✅ Add discipline to your entries
✅ Improve your breakout win rate
Perfect for VCP, CANSLIM, and BREAKOUT traders who want a clean, edge-enhancing visual guide.

Earning, Sales, and PriceThis Pine Script indicator is designed to visualize and analyze the growth of Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Sales for a given stock over specified time periods. With a user-friendly interface, it allows traders and investors to monitor key financial metrics, helping them make informed decisions based on company performance.
The script presents earnings, sales, and price growth in a clear tabular format directly on the price chart. It features two distinct tables: one for annual data and another for quarterly metrics. For each financial metric, the script calculates and displays growth figures by comparing the current results with either the previous quarter's numbers or the previous year's figures. Additionally, it showcases the stock price along with the corresponding growth between these two data points, providing a comprehensive view of the stock's performance over time.
How to Use:
Typically, growth stocks will rally for a few quarters. However, after significant rallies, the stock needs rest. During this period, the stock will either consolidate or slide down slowly to take support at the key moving average. Importantly, during this time, sales and earnings may continue to grow while the stock is still consolidating.
Typically, after the stock consolidates significantly—even when sales and earnings numbers are increasing—the stock will finally start the next leg of the rally just before the next earnings date or immediately after the earnings report.
For this purpose, the script shows the EPS and sales growth. Additionally, the script displays the price when the previous earnings were declared along with the price growth. This data can be used to find patterns in the stock's behavior. Utilize this indicator to analyze growth patterns and make informed trading decisions based on historical performance and upcoming earnings expectations.
Key Metrics Analyzed:
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Monitors the diluted earnings per share to evaluate company profitability.
Total Revenue: Analyzes sales performance, providing insights into overall revenue generation.
Price Growth: Tracks changes in stock price alongside EPS and sales for comprehensive performance assessment.
Usage:
Ideal for investors and traders looking to evaluate company growth potential and make data-driven decisions.
Use in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for a holistic approach to stock analysis.

Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry ZonesTitle: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones
Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones , making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.
How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.
Here’s the breakdown:
Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.
This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.
Key Features of RMV
Multi-Period ATR Calculation : Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization : Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation. Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors : The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.
How to Use the RMV Indicator
Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
As RMV moves from 21-30 , tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
Adjust Trading Strategies:
Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
Customize the Indicator:
a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.

Swing Trend AnalysisIntroducing the Swing Trend Analyzer: A Powerful Tool for Swing and Positional Trading
The Swing Trend Analyzer is a cutting-edge indicator designed to enhance your swing and positional trading by providing precise entry points based on volatility contraction patterns and other key technical signals. This versatile tool is packed with features that cater to traders of all timeframes, offering flexibility, clarity, and actionable insights.
Key Features:
1. Adaptive Moving Averages:
The Swing Trend Analyzer offers multiple moving averages tailored to the timeframe you are trading on. On the daily chart, you can select up to four different moving average lengths, while all other timeframes provide three moving averages. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune your analysis according to your trading strategy. Disabling a moving average is as simple as setting its value to zero, making it easy to customize the indicator to your needs.
2. Dynamic Moving Average Colors Based on Relative Strength:
This feature allows you to compare the performance of the current ticker against a major index or any symbol of your choice. The moving average will change color based on whether the ticker is outperforming or underperforming the selected index over the chosen period. For example, on a daily chart, if the 21-day moving average turns blue, it indicates that the ticker has outperformed the selected index over the last 21 days. This visual cue helps you quickly identify relative strength, a key factor in successful swing trading.
3. Visual Identification of Price Contractions:
The Swing Trend Analyzer changes the color of price bars to white (on a dark theme) or black (on a light theme) when a contraction in price is detected. Price contractions are highlighted when either of the following conditions is met: a) the current bar is an inside bar, or b) the price range of the current bar is less than the 14-period Average Daily Range (ADR). This feature makes it easier to spot price contractions across all timeframes, which is crucial for timing entries in swing trading.
4. Overhead Supply Detection with Automated Resistance Lines:
The indicator intelligently detects the presence of overhead supply and draws a single resistance line to avoid clutter on the chart. As price breaches the resistance line, the old line is automatically deleted, and a new resistance line is drawn at the appropriate level. This helps you focus on the most relevant resistance levels, reducing noise and improving decision-making.
5. Buyable Gap Up Marker: The indicator highlights bars in blue when a candle opens with a gap that remains unfilled. These bars are potential Buyable Gap Up (BGU) candidates, signaling opportunities for long-side entries.
6. Comprehensive Swing Trading Information Table:
The indicator includes a detailed table that provides essential data for swing trading:
a. Sector and Industry Information: Understand the sector and industry of the ticker to identify stocks within strong sectors.
b. Key Moving Averages Distances (10MA, 21MA, 50MA, 200MA): Quickly assess how far the current price is from key moving averages. The color coding indicates whether the price is near or far from these averages, offering vital visual cues.
c. Price Range Analysis: Compare the current bar's price range with the previous bar's range to spot contraction patterns.
d. ADR (20, 10, 5): Displays the Average Daily Range over the last 20, 10, and 5 periods, crucial for identifying contraction patterns. On the weekly chart, the ADR continues to provide daily chart information.
e. 52-Week High/Low Data: Shows how close the stock is to its 52-week high or low, with color coding to highlight proximity, aiding in the identification of potential breakout or breakdown candidates.
f. 3-Month Price Gain: See the price gain over the last three months, which helps identify stocks with recent momentum.

Pocket pivots are a powerful bullish signal, especially relevant for swing trading. Pocket pivots are crucial for swing trading and are effective across all timeframes. The indicator marks pocket pivots with circular markers below the price bar:
a. 10-Day Pocket Pivot: Identified when the volume exceeds the maximum selling volume of the last 10 days. These are marked with a blue circle.
b. 5-Day Pocket Pivot: Identified when the volume exceeds the maximum selling volume of the last 5 days. These are marked with a green circle.

Trading Zones based on RS / Volume / PullbackThis is an Indicator which identifies different Trading Zones on the chart.
This should be Primarily used for Long Trades.
Trading Zones: and the Reasoning behind them
Long Zone -> One can do a Potential Entry (Buy) when this Zone is identified, but one could also wait for 'Entry Zone' (explained next) for a better Risk/Reward Trade.
Long Zones are identified with the help of Relative Strength and by an Intermediate Top in price.
Entry Zone -> This can be a better Risk/Reward zone to enter positions within the Long Zone.
Entry Zone is identified by a Pullback in Price & Volume contraction after the Long Zone is activated
Warning Zone -> One needs to be careful in this zone, no need to panic, Script will now try to find an Exit when Price Retraces towards Highs.
Warning Zone identifies weakness in the Price using Relative Strength of the current Stock (w.r.t. the Reference Symbol configured) and the severity of Pullback in Price.
Exit Zone -> are found only after transitioning to Warning Zone, this is a Zone which helps in minimising losses after a trade has gone into losses. Exit Zone is identified by making sure a local peak forms in Warning Zone. However, there are instances when Exit Zone detection can get prolonged when a local price peak is not formed soon enough. So one needs to be careful and use other strategies for exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is different in this Script:
The Script uses Relative Strength in combination with Pullback in Price from Highs in a Novel way.
Over-trading is avoided by ignoring Sideways price movements, using Relative Strength.
Only Trending Upward movement is detected and traded.
How to use this Indicator:
Use these 'Trading Zones' only as a reference so it can minimise your time in screening stocks.
Preferred Settings for using the Indicator:
Stick to 1-Day candles
Keep Relative Symbol as "Nifty" for Indian Stocks.
For US stocks, we can use "SPX" as the Relative Symbol.

Pivot Pattern Boundaries [cajole]
This script automatically detects horizontal support / resistance levels based on user-programmable criteria.
For example, you can detect boundaries with >3 touches within 200 days, allowing a tolerance of 1/4*ATR.
"Touches" are defined from pivots on the chart. The best way to search for larger/smaller patterns is to increase/decrease the pivot size.*
Future versions will allow "exceptions (i.e. keep drawing the horizontal line even if it is breached once or twice).
*PulseWire's Pine script defines a Pivot as the highest point in a group. So, entering "2" means that a day's high needs to be above 2 days before and after (xxYxx) to be considered a high pivot.
This script can be an aid in drawing multiple patterns with horizontal boundaries (rectangles, triangles, head and shoulders, cup & handles, VCPs). I have intentionally avoided trying to code detection of the "other side" of these patterns, as that is where the craft of charting becomes an art.
