The document describes a short-term DAX strategy on five-minute bars that trades breaks of the prior day’s high or low during a morning window. Long entries require price above a 14-period moving average and are allowed Monday through Thursday, with up to…
This indicator estimates how often price has crossed levels above the prior candle’s high or below its low, separated according to whether that prior candle was bullish or bearish. It displays the historical percentages at several successive levels on the…
The document describes a three-candle Popgun pattern: an inside candle is enclosed by two outside candles. It uses the direction of the second outside candle to choose long or short bias, then treats a break beyond that candle’s high or low within the next…
This indicator description adapts the pocket pivot concept associated with Chris Kacher and Gil Morales. It flags an up day when the close is above a longer-term moving average and the day's volume exceeds the largest volume seen on a down day in the recent…
Q-Trend combines a rolling price midpoint with average true range to create a trend line and volatility-adjusted thresholds. The midpoint is calculated from the highest and lowest source values over a chosen trend period. A sensitivity band is formed by…
This indicator marks upward and downward breakout signals by comparing the Force Index, calculated from closing prices, with Bollinger Bands applied to that index. A reading at or above the upper band produces a positive signal shown in green; a reading at…
The document presents a four-hour forex system: a breakout approach for NZD/USD and a reversal variant for AUD/NZD, described as using the same code with long and short orders reversed. The sample rules combine the direction of recent daily closes, a…
This indicator concept looks for a liquidity sweep around the latest confirmed swing high or low. It identifies pivots using a lookback period, then flags a bullish setup when price trades below a pivot low but closes and opens back above it; the bearish…
This five-minute DAX strategy defines an opening range from the high and low recorded during the first trading hour. It sets long and short breakout levels one opening-range width beyond the corresponding extreme, using a configurable multiplier. During the…
This intraday strategy looks to short crude oil when a five-minute candle signals a downside breakout. The signal requires both candle range and volume to exceed three times their respective averages over a 276-bar lookback, with the candle closing below its…
This document describes two technical indicators built around moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and trend phases inspired by an adoption-cycle concept. The first classifies price conditions into colored states such as bearish, rebound, opportunity, trend…
This chart indicator marks the European pre-opening range with a rectangle, reports its high, low, and range width, then extends horizontal lines at the range boundaries into the following session. The supplied implementation uses an 08:05 to 09:00 time…
The document defines a Popgun setup as an inside bar followed by an outside bar. The inside bar has a range contained within the prior bar, which the author associates with contraction and a pause. The outside bar extends beyond the preceding bar’s high and…
The document explains an indicator that automates wedge-style chart analysis by detecting pivot highs and lows, connecting selected pivots into upper and lower trendlines, and projecting each line forward by 20 bars. A configurable lookback determines which…
The Trading Activity Index gauges whether an instrument is unusually busy or quiet relative to its own recent history. It starts with price multiplied by volume, averages that dollar-volume measure over a short formation window, then applies a logarithm to…
This strategy combines daily mid-level filters with gap-related price comparisons to generate one long or short trade during the 9:00 AM bar. It calculates the midpoint of the prior day and the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low across configurable…
This strategy uses a five-minute chart to trade breakouts in the direction of a longer term moving average. For longs, price must be above the 200 period hourly average while remaining below its upper Bollinger boundary; a rising short term average and…
The document describes an experimental technical indicator that builds a support and resistance band from trend lines connecting recent price pivots. It identifies candidate highs and lows using RSI thresholds and local price comparisons, forms multiple…
The Trend Levels indicator uses the highest high and lowest low over a configurable lookback period to identify potential changes in direction. A new period high sets an uptrend state, while a new period low sets a downtrend state; arrows mark those…
This intraday EUR/USD strategy looks for an unusually large one-hour candle, defined by an open-to-close move greater than twice the 12-period average true range. It enters long when that candle closes above its open and short when it closes below its open,…
This indicator guide divides intraday trading into Asian, London, and New York session windows, including separate New York morning, lunch, and afternoon periods. It marks each window’s high and low as chart zones, then extends prior session levels as pivots…
This indicator divides a selected price range into bins and totals volume associated with bars whose closing prices fall in each bin. It marks the bin with the greatest volume as a strong level, then identifies low-volume bins above and below it as potential…
