Price Action Concepts™ is an exclusive Discord toolkit that includes a wide variety of price action related toolssuch as support & resistance, trend lines, patterns, and much more.

This toolkit is great for beginners or professionals alike who wish to automate price action, the essential part of your charts. Each feature included can be seen in the pages below.

Features

Alerts

Most concepts covered in the toolkit include built-in alerts. Users can also be alerted for multiple conditions from on alert using any alert() function call conditions. Finally, users who wish to set complex alerts conditions can do so using our “Custom Alert Creator”.

Settings Reference

Price Action Concepts™ includes various settings affecting the appearance and behavior of the toolkit, most of which are specific to the feature they affect.

Users can access the list of user settings and their descriptions in the following page:

Market structure is a core component of the price action. The Price Action Concepts™ toolkit automatically detects and highlights real time market structure on your chart, allowing for a clean picture of market trends without introducing traditional forms of technical analysis like moving averages.

Type Of Market Structures

Market structure allows traders to understand trend reversals as well as trend continuations in the market through two distinct identifications:

- Change of Character (CHoCH)

- Break of Structure (BOS)

These are further described in the subsections below.

Change Of Character (CHoCH)

A change of character (CHoCH), sometimes also referred as ‘market structure shift’ is characterized by price breaking a prior swing low during an uptrend (bullish CHoCH) or a prior swing high during a downtrend (bearish CHoCH), and thus indicates a potential market reversal.

The Price Action Concepts™ toolkits labels two distinct type of CHoCHs:

- Leading CHoCH (labelled as CHoCH)

- Supported CHoCH (labelled as CHoCH+)

The difference between each is based on the relative position of prior swing highs/lows. A leading CHoCH is characterized by price not having prior signs of a reversal, such as a failed higher high (lower high) during an uptrend or a failed lower low (higher low) during a downtrend.

On the other hand, a supported CHoCH (CHoCH+) is preceded by an early sign of market reversal, such as a failed higher high (lower high) during an uptrend or a failed lower low (higher low) during a downtrend.

! Users can show allow the toolkit to show all or only specific types of CHoCH’s from the drop-down menus within the Market Structure settings section in the toolkit.

Break Of Structure (BOS)

A break of structure (BOS) can be thought of primarily as a trend continuation label. This structure is the opposite of the CHoCH, with a BOS being when price breaks a prior swing high during an uptrend (bullish BOS) thus forming a new higher high, or when price breaks a prior swing low during a downtrend (bearish BOS) thus forming a new lower low. This structure only can occur after a CHoCH.

Since BOS’s indicate trend continuations, it is common to observe successive BOS’s.

Swing & Internal Structure

The Price Action Concepts™ toolkit offers two distinct dimensions when it comes to market structure:

- Internal Structure

- Swing Structure

Internal structure are constructed from shorter term swing high/low points, while swing structure are constructed from longer term ones. Users can select the lookback used for the swing point detection for both the internal and swing market structures construction.

Internal structures can use a lookback in range (5, 49). Swing structures can use a lookback in the range (50, 100).

The toolkit highlights internal structure with dashed lines and labels with a smaller text size.

! The size of the labels for internal and swing structure can be changed from the General Styling settings section.

Candle Coloring

Users can color candles depending on the detected internal market structure. This is useful if users want to be able to determine a detected internal market structure without having labels and lines on their chart, freeing up space on the chart to use other indicators.

Candle coloring is affected by the colors settings selected by the user for the internal market structure. Candle coloring is determined as follows:

- Darker bullish color : Bullish CHoCH active

- Regular bullish color : Bullish BOS active

- Darker bearish color : Bearish CHoCH active

- Regular bearish color : Bearish BOS active

! Users can make highlighted structure and candle colors monochrome from the General Styling settings by using the monochrome option in the Theme drop down menu.

Swing High/Low

Users can display swing high/low by enabling the “Show Swing High/Low” setting, highlighting past points where a reversal occurred. Displayed swing points can be denoted as:

- HH (Higher high)

- HL (Higher low)

- LH (Lower high)

- LL (Lower low)

The displayed swing points are affected by the period selected for the internal market structures, with higher values returning longer term swing points.

! Swing points are displayed retrospectively, and as such are not detected where they are located. They should not be used for real-time applications.

Strong/Weak High/Low

Strong/Weak High/Lows highlight maximum and minimum levels made from medium term swings. A relative percentage derived between the trading volume that occurred on both swings is also highlighted, and is used to determine if a maxima/minima is strong or weak.

The displayed swing points are affected by the period selected for the internal market structures, with higher values returning longer term swing points.

Alerts

Built-in alerts are available for each supported market structure, including swing structures, internal structures, and equal highs/lows.

Volumetric Order Blocks highlight price areas where more informed market participants accumulate orders and can be used as potential areas of support or resistance. These are automatically highlighted by the toolkit and will disappear once mitigated.

These order Blocks are separated into two types, bullish Volumetric Order Blocks and bearish Volumetric Order Blocks. Bullish Volumetric Order Blocks initial locations are near swing low’s and are used as a potential support. On the other hand Bearish Volumetric Order Blocks initial locations are near swing high’s and are used as a potential resistance.

Users can show longer term Volumetric Order Blocks by increasing the Length setting in the Order Blocks section. This setting control the swing point detection lookback used to construct Volumetric Order Blocks.

You can hide overlapping Volumetric Order Blocks by using the Hide Overlap setting, if two Volumetric Order Blocks overlap the most recent one will be conserved.

Breaker Blocks

Breaker Blocks show previous Volumetric Order Blocks that got mitigated (broken by price). These zones can be revisited by the price and provide support/resistance areas.

Bullish breaker blocks disappear once price goes above the breaker block upper extremity, while bearish breaker blocks disappear once price goes under the breaker block lower extremity.

Users can enable the option of showing breaker blocks by enabling the “Show Breakers” setting.

! Breaker blocks are differentiated from Volumetric Order Blocks by their non-solid background color.

Internal Activity & Metrics

The toolkit is able to return various information regarding an order block. Internal activity highlight the bullish and bearish activity within the interval used to construct the order block, with green bars highlighting bullish activity, and red bars highlighting bearish activity.

This allows users to see if the activity associated to an order block is in accordance with its type, or if the activity is uniform. Users can utilize this to estimate when bulls or bears are potentially exhausted at certain order blocks in the market, as such it can be used to further understand if price is likely to break or respect an order block.

! Internal activity and metrics both require volume data in order to be displayed.

Metrics

Metrics are displayed to the right of an order block near the most recent historical price bar. This information represent the accumulated volume within the interval used to construct the order block, and can be useful to determine how significant an order block is, with larger volume indicating a more significant order block.

The percentage to the right indicates how much the volume of an order block account for the total accumulated volume of all Volumetric Order Blocks displayed on the chart, this allows to quickly determine which Volumetric Order Blocks can be more interesting to look for.

You can change the size of the metrics from the OB Metrics Size setting within the GENERAL STYLING settings section, available options include: tiny, small (default), normal, and auto.

Processing Internal Activity Data

Users interested in accessing and highlighting occurrence of specific conditions related to the internal activity of the most recent order block can use the “OB Volume” condition creator in the custom alert creator.

This condition creator includes the following conditions:

When “Buy Volume”, “Sell Volume”, “Total Volume”, or “Percentage” are selected we want to compare these values to a user set value as reference using the following comparison operators:

- Greater Than

- Lower Than

- Equal

Mitigation Methods

Once price break an order block this order block is said to have been “mitigated”, and will automatically disappear. Users can determine the condition for an order block to be considered mitigated through the Mitigation Method setting, each method is described below:

! Builtins alerts for Volumetric Order Blocks mitigation are available to the users.

MTF Order Blocks

The user can display internal and swing Volumetric Order Blocks of a high or lower chart timeframe on the chart using the Timeframe settings. The displayed Volumetric Order Blocks will have the same price values and volume data than the ones of the selected timeframe.

Price Action Concepts™ covers a variety of concepts related to liquidity. Each of these concepts can be found in the Liquidity Concepts settings section and are described in the sections below.

Liquidity Trendlines

Breaker Blocks show previous Volumetric Order Blocks that got mitigated (broken by price). These zones can be revisited by the price and provide support/resistance areas.

Liquidity Trendlines displays linear zones constructed by taking into account the amount of liquidity at certain price levels, with zones being displayed only if market participants found liquidity in them. The returned zones can give support areas (in blue) during up-trends or resistance areas (in red) during down-trends.

Once price breaks the extremity of a zone we can expect a trend reversal.

! Once the conditions for a trendline to be displayed are met, the indicator will display it retrospectively.

The user can determine the amount of historical up-trendlines and down-trendlines to display on the chart to avoid clutter using the provided numerical input setting.

! Builtins alerts for trendlines breakouts are available to the users

Patterns

Price Action Concepts™ includes an Automatic Pattern Detection feature able to detect various chart patterns as well as a dashboard to give users information about any detected pattern.

The Pattern Detection feature is able to detect the following patterns:

- Ascending/Descending Triangles

- Ascending/Descending Broadening Wedges

- Ascending/Descending/Symmetrical Triangles

- Double Tops/Bottoms

- Head & Shoulders

- Inverted Head & Shoulders

as well as providing general supports and resistances if any of the above patterns are not detected.

When a pattern is detected, it will be displayed on the dashboard located at the top-right of the chart. Solid lines will highlight the patterns. When no patterns are detected, dashed lines will be displayed that can be used as support and resistance.

Users can detect longer term chart patterns using the provided numerical drop-down menu setting, with higher values detecting longer term patterns.

Builtins alerts for detected patterns are available to the users.

Equal Highs & Lows

The toolkit returns historical equal high’s & low’s constructed from swing points. Equal high’s & low’s can be indicative of reversals, and incoming market structure such as CHoCH or BOS.

Users can display longer term equal high’s/low’s by increasing the numerical input at the right of the toggle (3 by default).

Equal high’s & low’s requires the detected swing points to be confirmed, which takes an amount of bars equal to the value set in the numerical input. As such it is important to understand these are displayed retrospectively.

Imbalances in market prices arise when there is a great disparity between supply and demand, this can lead to inefficiencies where an asset does not trade at its fair value.

It is common for the price to seek balance after an imbalance, thus returning to the price area where the imbalance occurred. These areas of imbalances can also be used as support and resistance areas.

The toolkit is able to detect the following imbalances:

- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)

- Inverse Fair Value Gaps (Inverse FVG)

- Double Fair Value Gaps (Double FVG)

- Volume Imbalance

- Opening Gap

Each method is covered in the sections below.

Fair Value Gaps

Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are market imbalances formed from a sequence of three candles where the outer candle wicks fail to overlap the central candle body, the range between the wicks highlight a Fair Value Gap..

Bullish fair value gaps occur when the current price low is higher than the price high two bars ago. Bearish fair gaps occur when the current price high is lower than the price low two bars ago.

Inverse FVG

Inverse fair value gaps are essentially mitigated fair value gaps, these can be used to provide retests areas.

A mitigated bullish FVG will lead to a bearish inverse FVG, where we can expect price to retrace upward and retest the area, while a mitigated bearish FVG will lead to a bullish inverse FVG, where we can expect price to retrace downward and retest the area.

- Ascending/Descending Triangles

! For the sake of efficiency, inverse FVG’s are always based on the mitigation of the most recent detected FVG, disregarding any previous historical FVG that might get mitigated.

Double FVG

When a pattern is detected, it will be displayed on the dashboard located at the top-right of the chart. Solid lines will highlight the patterns. When no patterns are detected, dashed lines will be displayed that can be used as support and resistance.

Double Fair Value Gaps, also called balanced price ranges occur when the areas of two Fair Value Gaps overlap. The overlapping areas highlight a new area of imbalance.p>

A bullish Balanced Price Range is determined by a new bullish Fair Value Gap area overlapping a previous bearish Fair Value Gap area, while a bearish Balanced Price Range is determined by a new bearish Fair Value Gap area overlapping a previous bullish Fair Value Gap area.

Volume Imbalance

Volume Imbalances are market imbalances characterised by two adjacent candles with non overlapping candle bodies, while their wicks overlaps. These imbalances are more commonly found in stocks or second timeframes of cryptocurrencies and forex pairs.

Premium & Discount zones highlight three specific price areas, one upper area (premium), one central area (equilibrium), and one lower area (discount).

These areas can be used to know when an event is occurring at a premium, discount, or within an equilibrium zone..

If a condition indicative of an uptrend occur within a discount zone then it would have an higher chance of being the cause of a reversal, this also applies for a condition indicative of a downtrend occurring within the premium zone.

Additionally, each area can be used as a support or resistance.

It is common for traders to use the maximum and minimum price value reached in a previous day, week, month, or on specific periods as support and resistances levels.

The toolkit is able to return levels from the maximum and minimum price value reached during:

- The previous day

- Mondays

- The previous week

- The previous month

- Quarters

Each can be displayed from the HIGHS & LOWS MTF setting section.

Fibonacci retracements are levels displayed from two price points using Fibonacci ratios, specific numbers obtained from the Fibonacci sequence.

Users can display up to 5 customizable Fibonacci retracements from one upper and one lower extremities from a wide variety of feature included in the toolkit.

Possible Extremities

The upper/lower extremities used to construct the Fibonacci retracements can be selected from the “Fibonacci Top” or “Fibonacci Bottom” dropdown settings, and can be obtained from the following features within the Price Action Concepts™ toolkit:

Ratios

Users can control which levels are displayed as well as the ratio used for each level. Ratios are also visible to the right side of each retracement displayed.

The Price Action Concepts™ can alert users for multiple events relevant to the existing features in the toolkit. To learn more about how to set alerts in general see how to create alerts on tradingview.

In order for an alert to work in the toolkit make sure the related feature is enabled

Any Alert() Function Call

Users can create a single alert for multiple conditions using the any alert() function call alert condition. Conditions users want to be alerted for are grouped by the type of features they affect (structures, volumetric order blocks, imbalances…etc) and are located at the bottom of the toolkit settings.

Once conditions are toggled on users only need to set an alert using the any alert() function call as condition.

Any Alert() Function Call Message

Users can set a custom message that will be used when an any alert() function call condition is triggered in the message field below the list of conditions. Users can use placeholders to customize messages and return useful information, the following placeholders are supported:

Symbol Placeholders

Time Placeholders

Custom Alert Creator

Users wishing to construct more complex alerts using features within the toolkit and/or external indicators can use the Custom Alert Creator.

The custom alert creator allows alerting when various user-set conditions are met or when a sequence of conditions is complete.

A user wishing to be alerted when any internal market structure occurs within 1AM and 5AM of the symbol timezone could do it as follows:

A custom alert can be triggered as an any alert() function call if the setting is selected or as a regular alert when selected in the Tradingview alert creator menu.`

Steps

Steps allow creating a sequence of conditions, which when met trigger an alert. When a condition with a step equal to 1 is met the next condition associated with step 2 will be evaluated (if enabled) and so on for higher steps (if any).

Conditions with the same associated step will require both conditions to be true in order for the condition associated with a higher step (if any) to be evaluated. This allows certain conditions to act as filters.

A user wishing to be alerted when the price enters a bullish imbalance after any internal bullish market structure could do it as follows:

Make sure steps are set such that they form a linear sequence. For example, if the lowest step is 2 or if the set steps are only 1 and 3 an error will be returned.

OR Step Operator

The “OR” step operator can be used to get alerted for any additional condition using “OR” as a step, in addition to other set custom alert conditions.

Conditions using the “OR” step can be highlighted using a different color, which can be set from the Custom Alert Creator settings.

All Step Operator

The “All” step operator can be used to filter any set “Step” condition, including “OR” and “Invalidate”.

This step operator can be useful if all the steps in a sequence needs to obey a specific rule.

If a user has 2 steps set, and requires both of these to occur at a specific time interval such as 9am to 1pm, then we can use a “Session” condition using the “All” step, requiring our step 1 and step 2 to be occur between 9am and 1pm.

Invalidate Step

The “Invalidate” step allows to set a condition as an “invalidation condition”. When this condition is triggered while a sequence of conditions is incomplete, the sequence will restart at step 1.

If multiple steps are set as “Invalidate” any of the conditions being true will reset the sequence of conditions, as such not all of them are required to be true for the sequence of conditions to reset.

Example

Let’s take an example where we use 2 regular steps and one “Invalidate” step. The alert will trigger when step 2 trigger after step 1 has been triggered.

Invalidation Behaviors

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below:

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

Maximum Step Interval

Users can determine what is the maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps by enabling the “Maximum Step Interval” setting. This allows restricting steps separated by a large amount of bars.

If the amount of bars since a step exceed the set threshold, then the conditions sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.

Highlight On Chart

When a custom alert condition is set, a visual element is displayed at the bottom of the chart in order to more easily visualize when the custom alert condition occurs (displayed by default).

Signals & Overlays™ is the most popular toolkit provided by Discord which contains a variety of signal modes, indicator overlays, and advanced dynamic features to help users make improved decisions when trading.

This toolkit is great for beginners & serious traders alike who want the most powerful signals & dynamic features possible for their charts.

Provided below are pages describing all features included.

Features

Alerts

Most concepts covered in the toolkit include built-in alerts. Users can also be alerted for multiple conditions from on alert using any alert() function call conditions. Finally, users who wish to set complex alerts conditions can do so using our “Custom Alert Creator”.

Settings Reference

Price Action Concepts™ includes various settings affecting the appearance and behavior of the toolkit, most of which are specific to the feature they affect.

Users can access the list of user settings and their descriptions in the following page:

The Signals & Overlays™ toolkit displays signals that can indicate the current trend direction in the price and aim to support the analysis of a trader. There are two main signal modes available, each one fitting a different trading style, Confirmation signals, and Contrarian signals. The following sections on this page describe these two methodologies in detail.

! Focusing on using other features within our toolkit alongside the provided signals will likely be the best decision for you rather than using them alone.

Confirmation + Exits

Confirmation signals are based on a performance adaptive trend following methodology. As the name suggests, they aim to confirm any potential action a trader might take and are more effective when used in confluence with other features like our indicator overlays.

There are two types of Confirmation signals, normal signals, and strong (+) signals. Strong (+) signals are signals that are in accordance with the current estimated trend, while normal signals can be caused by a retracement.

The Confirmation signals mode includes exit signals (represented by colored crosses). A bullish exit signal is displayed as a blue cross, while a bearish exit is displayed as an orange cross.

These exits signals aim to help traders find areas to consider exiting a position based on a previous confirmation signal at the highest price possible. Also, note that these exits would always exit a previous confirmation signal on a win.

! Successive exit signals can occur during longer-term trends, as such the user can do partial exits instead of exiting an entire position. These exit signals can also be used within a user’s analysis as potential reversal points, as such they do not necessarily have to be used as take profits using the Signals & Overlays toolkit.

Contrarian + Exits

Contrarian signals by design go in opposition to the current trend and aim to deliver extremely fast decision timing. More simply put, Contrarian signals aim to spot potential tops and bottoms.

The advantage of Contrarian methodologies is that they are less subject to lag than most trend-following methodologies, thus allowing for potentially higher profits, however, it is important to note that going against the trend exposes a trader to larger price variations, which means potentially higher losses.

Like Confirmation signals, some Contrarian signals can also be labeled as strong (+). These strong signals occur when the price is excessively overbought or oversold and can have more of a chance of indicating a potential reversal.

! Extra confluence such as declining volume or the occurrence of the signal near a significant support/resistance can be useful to tell when a signal is indicative of a reversal.
You can also use the Contrarian signals more safely as an alternative exit point for a position. Timing tops/bottoms is very challenging, however, these can be useful for the natural reversal trader in combination with other features within the Signals & Overlays toolkit.

The Contrarian signals mode also includes exit signals. A bullish exit signal is displayed as a blue cross, while a bearish exit is displayed as an orange cross.

Like Confirmation signals, Contrarian exit signals would always exit a previous confirmation signal on a win. Do note that successive exits will not occur for Contrarian signals.

Contrarian Exits can be particularly useful for when price temporarily moves in accordance with a displayed Contrarian signal before reversing, rendering the signal as false for a larger trend reversal.
If the user is confident that a larger reversal might still occur in accordance with a previously displayed Contrarian signal, the exit can be ignored or could lead to a partial exit only for a “scalp” trade.

AI Classifier

For users who want a deeper interpretation of signals, an adaptive threshold classifier is built-in to optionally enable at the top of the settings menu that automatically classifies both Confirmation & Contrarian signals between a range of 1 to 4 directly on the signal labels.

The displayed number indicates a degree of strength to your signals & can give user a deeper interpretation rather than just showing the base layer of normal vs strong. Do note the base layer of detecting normal vs strong trends is still displayed within the Confirmation Simple candle coloring mode which is on by default.

For Confirmation signals, lower-numbered signals (1-2) can be indicative of a potential reversal or retracement, while higher-numbered signals (3-4) can be more indicative of a trend continuation.

For Contrarian signals lower numbered signals can be indicative of an early trend with a lower chance of a larger reversal. Whereas higher numbers (3-4) will tend to occur on more developed trends, with a higher chance of larger trend reversal.

AI Classifier Filter

Users can take their analysis even deeper by filtering out specific numbered signals from the advanced settings by entering the numbers that should stay on the chart. By default it shows “1234” as this would show all signals with the AI Classifier.

As an example, users could type into this box “12” to only display 1’s and 2’s on their chart. The same with “134” to only display 1’s, 3’s, and 4’s on their chart depending on their preference for filtering specific signals.

Display

It is possible to choose what type of signals you want to display here as well as displaying no signals at all, this is done from the settings menu in the Signal Mode drop-down menu.

By default, Confirmation + Exits is selected. None will not display any signal on the chart.

The settings affecting the signal generation algorithm within Signals & overlays plays an important role in using the signals effectively. We give our users the possibility to adjust the settings so that the signals can fit their trading style but we also provide ways to easily adjust settings by using a wide variety of methods.

Each method for adjusting signal settings is designed to fit specific user needs, one method will not necessarily be more accurate than another.

! It’s critical to understand Confirmation Signals are generally meant to be used as trend confirmations, not direct entries & exits. Focusing on ease of use with the signal settings & using other features within our toolkits will likely be the best decision for you rather than trying to find the “holy grail” of optimized signal settings & following the signals alone

Manual Adjustments

Manual adjustment of signals settings allow the user to fit the signals to their trading style and allows a greater degree of customizability.

Confirmation Signals

Confirmation signals are affected by the Signals Sensitivity setting. Increasing this setting will allow the trader to make decisions for longer-term trends.

Method For Manually Adjusting Confirmation Signals

First, identify which price movements you are looking to trade (regardless of timeframes). Depending on how you are on your charts (on any timeframe) you can adjust the sensitivity value higher or lower to catch the price movements you are looking for. If you are looking for shorter term price movements on those timeframes, you should consider using a lower sensitivity. If you are looking for longer term price movements on those timeframes you should consider using a higher sensitivity.

Contrarian Signals

Contrarian signals are also affected by the Signals Sensitivity setting, increasing it will aim to make contrarian signals spot longer term tops and bottoms.

Automatic Settings Estimation

Autopilot Signal Settings

The downside of adjusting signal settings is that this task needs to be constantly repeated due to ever-changing market conditions. Autopilot is a feature that allows the user to avoid adjusting signal settings completely. Instead, the currently selected signal generation algorithm (Confirmation or Contrarian) adjusts dynamically to the market conditions in order to provide the best signals possible.

This setting can be enabled from the Advanced Settings settings section.

Compared to other automatic methods the “Autopilot” feature is the most user-friendly since it avoids adjusting inputs within the indicator entirely.

The Autopilot Sensitivity advanced setting allows autopilot to adjust to shorter or longer term trends depending on user preference.

Dashboard Optimal Sensitivity

The Optimal Sensitivity is a value displayed on the Lux Dashboard showing the optimal Sensitivity setting when using Confirmation or Contrarian signal modes. This optimization is based on a grid search algorithm and as such will backtest every generated signals using a sensitivity ranging from 10 to 20 over the most recent 250 bars.

This feature works on any ticker & timeframe as long as at least 250 bars of historical data are available.

Choosing The Right Method

While the optimal sensitivity provided by the dashboard is the most precise method since it’s performing grid search, there is no “best” method for optimizing signals as it’s up to the user to understand their style of trading and the price variations they want to trade (regardless of timeframes).

Manual Adjustments

Do you specifically want to trade shorter-term trends on the timeframes you use?

- Consider using lower sensitivity values such as 5-10

Do you specifically want to trade longer-term trends on the timeframes you use?

- Consider using higher sensitivity values such as 20+

Alternatively, you can use the default of 12 for trading medium-term trends. This provides simple and responsive signals.

Automatic Adjustments

Do you rely a lot on optimizing signals and are you ok with updating these manually over time?

- Use the Optimal Sensitivity provided by the dashboard to find more precise signal settings.

Do you completely dislike the process of adjusting signal settings altogether?

Use the Autopilot sensitivity to allow the signals to adjust dynamically and work without the need of any user interaction.

Using Autopilot or the default settings are overall the simplest user experience as it allows you to completely avoid adjusting settings altogether.

Signals & Overlays™ Indicator allows the user to display various technical indicators directly on their chart. These can be used in confluence with the confirmation/contrarian signals or optionally used as a standalone.

Each overlay has an associated setting affecting its output. These settings range from 1 to 5, with higher values allowing the overlay to return indications for longer-term trends.

Each of the overlays is covered below.

Smart Trail

The Smart Trail is a trailing stop that diverges from the price in the presence of unwanted price variations in a trend.

An up-trend is indicated when the price is above the trailing stop, and a down-trend when the price is below the trailing stop.

The smart trail also displays support (in blue) and resistance (in red) areas and aims to indicate when the price might reverse when entering the area.

Reversal Zones

When enabled, one upper and one lower zone will be displayed on your chart, each zone is designed to help the user find tops and bottoms whether the market is ranging or trending (however the indicator will still be more effective during ranging markets).

These zones can be great areas to take profit or find early entries to use alongside the confirmation or contrarian signals.

! During periods of increased volatility, the price may move outside the zones, you can wait for the price to go back within each zone to take a decision.

Trend Tracer

The Trend Tracer is a trend-following algorithm that aims to estimate the underlying trend in the price. When the indicator indicates an uptrend its color will be blue, while orange in the case of a downtrend.

! The Trend Tracer can be used as a trailing support/resistance tool, you can also use it in confluence with the confirmation signals, either by waiting for the price to reach the trend tracer in order to enter a trade corresponding to the current confirmation signal or by filtering shorter-term signals by only trading those in accordance by the trend estimated by the trend tracer.

Trend Catcher

The Trend Catcher is a similar algorithm to the previous Trend Tracer, however, it aims to detect very early trends, and is thus more reactive.

Like with the Trend Tracer, the color of the indicator determines the detected trend.

Neo Cloud

When enabled, a simple cloud-like indicator will be displayed on your chart. The Neo Cloud is similar in effect to the Ichimoku Cloud, and can determine the current trend direction.

This feature works on any ticker & timeframe as long as at least 250 bars of historical data are available.

The TP/SL feature displays 4 take profits/stop losses levels and aims to help the user set stop losses and take profits by estimating points of potential support/resistance from an initial user-selected condition.

Take-profits/stop-loss levels are based on the option selected in the “TP/SL Levels” dropdown menu. Options include the following:

When the price significantly deviates from the highest take profit or lowest stop loss, these will update, returning new relevant take profits and stop losses.

! Users can notice when a tp/sl has updated based on where their levels start, if the levels start where the initial condition is located then it hasn’t updated.

Neo Cloud

Users can control the distance between the price and the take profits/stop losses using the “Distance” setting, with higher values returning take profits/stop losses farther away from the price.

The candle coloring feature allows the user to change the body color of the candles/bars when using candlesticks or bar charts. Three coloring modes are available, with two of them being based on the previously described signal methodologies.

Candle coloring also works on charts using Heikin-Ashi, Renko, Kagi, line break, point and figure, and range candles.

Each mode can be enabled from the settings in the candle color mode dropdown menu.

In order to use candle coloring as properly as possible make sure to disable the borders setting in your chart settings.

Confirmation Simple

The confirmation simple color mode is based on the methodology used by confirmation signals and is the one enabled by default. This mode uses three colors, each one can be interpreted as follows:

- Green candles: Strong bullish signal active.

- Red candles: Strong bearish active

- Purple candles: Normal bullish or bearish signal active.

If you need to set an alert based on candle coloring or need to return information on what is the current candle color on an alert message simply use the Bar Color Value variable. This variable as three possible values each indicating the following:
- 1: Candle color is green
- 0: Candle color is purple
- -1: Candle color is red
This variable can be used as input for external indicators as well.

Confirmation Gradient

The confirmation gradient color mode is also based on the algorithm that generates confirmation signals, but will slightly differ from the previously described confirmation simple color mode.

ighter green colors indicate strong bullish variations, while lighter red colors indicate strong bearish variations. Colors closer to purple indicate that the current variation might be a retracement or that the market is ranging.

The dashboard displays the most relevant metrics from within our premium features. This feature is extremely useful to easily obtain pertinent information regarding the market and can be used in confluence with confirmation or contrarian signals

Dashboard Elements

Optimal Sensitivity

The optimal sensitivity is an estimate of the optimal sensitivity setting. Depending on the selected signal mode, the recommended sensitivity for confirmation or contrarian signals will be displayed. When None is selected, no optimal sensitivity will be displayed. This value is obtained through grid search optimization by using the most recent 250 bars and varies in a range between 10 and 20.

The cell color is based on the signal returned by the signal algorithm using the returned optimal setting, with a green color indicating a bullish signal and a red color indicating a bearish signal.

Note that this metric is not indicative of future results.

When Autopilot Sensitivity is enabled, the recommended sensitivity will not appear on the dashboard and is replaced with an indication notifying the user that autopilot is enabled.

Trend Strength

The trend strength quantifies the strength of an underlying trend as a percentage and can inform the trader whether the market is trending or ranging. This indication can help a trader know whether a signal has a higher chance of being false or not. The 🔥 sign is used with trending markets while ❄️ is used for ranging markets.

The cell color is based on the currently displayed signal, with a green color indicating a bullish signal and a red color indicating a sell signal.

A trend strength plot is available allowing users to set alerts based on it, using placeholders {{plot("Trend Strength"}} in the alert message.

Confirmation + Exits

The Lux volatility appearing on the dashboard is based on the Lux Volatility indicator and returns either Stable during periods of low volatility or Volatile during periods of high volatility. When volatility is rising the 📈 sign will appear, while 📉 appears when volatility is declining.

The Lux volatility can also display with a warning sign, this happens when the volatility is either too low or too high and indicates extra precaution.

Squeeze

that the market is being compressed into a tighter area, suggesting market prices are subject to damping.

Higher values of this metric are mostly returned during ranging markets.

Volume Sentiment

The volume sentiment metric returns an estimate of whether most volume came from buying or selling participants. This measure is expressed as a percentage in the range [-100 / 100].

The value of this metric can sometimes be high or low even if a candle does not reflect this sentiment, thus potentially indicating a reversal.

Dashboard Settings

Enabling/disabling the dashboard can be done from the Indicator Overlay section. Settings affecting the dashboard visual style can be found in the Advanced Settings section.

Dashboard Location

Determines the corner where the dashboard is displayed on the chart. Selecting “Hidden” will hide the dashboard

Dashboard Size

Determines the size of the dashboard on the chart, options include Tiny, Small, Normal, and Large.

The Price Action Concepts™ can alert users for multiple events relevant to the existing features in the toolkit. To learn more about how to set alerts in general see how to create alerts on tradingview.

In order for an alert to work in the toolkit make sure the related feature is enabled

Any Alert() Function Call

Users can create a single alert for multiple conditions using the any alert() function call alert condition. Conditions users want to be alerted for are grouped by the type of features they affect (structures, volumetric order blocks, imbalances…etc) and are located at the bottom of the toolkit settings.

Once conditions are toggled on users only need to set an alert using the any alert() function call as condition.

Any Alert() Function Call Message

Users can set a custom message that will be used when an any alert() function call condition is triggered in the message field below the list of conditions. Users can use placeholders to customize messages and return useful information, the following placeholders are supported:

Symbol Placeholders

Time Placeholders

Custom Alert Creator

Users wishing to construct more complex alerts using features within the toolkit and/or external indicators can use the Custom Alert Creator.

The custom alert creator allows alerting when various user-set conditions are met or when a sequence of conditions is complete.

A user wishing to be alerted when any internal market structure occurs within 1AM and 5AM of the symbol timezone could do it as follows:

A custom alert can be triggered as an any alert() function call if the setting is selected or as a regular alert when selected in the Tradingview alert creator menu.`

Steps

Steps allow creating a sequence of conditions, which when met trigger an alert. When a condition with a step equal to 1 is met the next condition associated with step 2 will be evaluated (if enabled) and so on for higher steps (if any).

Conditions with the same associated step will require both conditions to be true in order for the condition associated with a higher step (if any) to be evaluated. This allows certain conditions to act as filters.

A user wishing to be alerted when the price enters a bullish imbalance after any internal bullish market structure could do it as follows:

Make sure steps are set such that they form a linear sequence. For example, if the lowest step is 2 or if the set steps are only 1 and 3 an error will be returned.

OR Step Operator

The “OR” step operator can be used to get alerted for any additional condition using “OR” as a step, in addition to other set custom alert conditions.

Conditions using the “OR” step can be highlighted using a different color, which can be set from the Custom Alert Creator settings.

All Step Operator

The “All” step operator can be used to filter any set “Step” condition, including “OR” and “Invalidate”.

This step operator can be useful if all the steps in a sequence needs to obey a specific rule.

If a user has 2 steps set, and requires both of these to occur at a specific time interval such as 9am to 1pm, then we can use a “Session” condition using the “All” step, requiring our step 1 and step 2 to be occur between 9am and 1pm.

Invalidate Step

The “Invalidate” step allows to set a condition as an “invalidation condition”. When this condition is triggered while a sequence of conditions is incomplete, the sequence will restart at step 1.

If multiple steps are set as “Invalidate” any of the conditions being true will reset the sequence of conditions, as such not all of them are required to be true for the sequence of conditions to reset.

Example

Let’s take an example where we use 2 regular steps and one “Invalidate” step. The alert will trigger when step 2 trigger after step 1 has been triggered.

Invalidation Behaviors

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below:

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

Maximum Step Interval

Users can determine what is the maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps by enabling the “Maximum Step Interval” setting. This allows restricting steps separated by a large amount of bars.

If the amount of bars since a step exceed the set threshold, then the conditions sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.

Highlight On Chart

When a custom alert condition is set, a visual element is displayed at the bottom of the chart in order to more easily visualize when the custom alert condition occurs (displayed by default).

Signals & Overlays™ is the most popular toolkit provided by Discord which contains a variety of signal modes, indicator overlays, and advanced dynamic features to help users make improved decisions when trading.

This toolkit is great for beginners & serious traders alike who want the most powerful signals & dynamic features possible for their charts.

Provided below are pages describing all features included.

Features

Alerts

Most concepts covered in the toolkit include built-in alerts. Users can also be alerted for multiple conditions from on alert using any alert() function call conditions. Finally, users who wish to set complex alerts conditions can do so using our “Custom Alert Creator”.

Settings Reference

Price Action Concepts™ includes various settings affecting the appearance and behavior of the toolkit, most of which are specific to the feature they affect.

Users can access the list of user settings and their descriptions in the following page:

The HyperWave is a normalized adaptive oscillator aiming to precisely reflect price trends without returning a high amount of noise.

It is the primary oscillator used to detect trends/reversals within the Discord Oscillator Matrix™

This oscillator is directly controlled by the Main Length setting, with higher values returning a smoother result reflecting longer term trends.

The HyperWave and every associated components (Signal line, turning points, divergences) can be disabled by toggling off “Show HyperWave”

! The HyperWave and every associated components (Signal line, turning points, divergences) can be disabled by toggling off “Show HyperWave”

Signal Line

The Hyper Wave includes a signal line allowing to reactively detect trend directions. The area between the Hyper Wave and its signal line is displayed to easily assess the current trend direction, with a color determined by the position of the Hyper Wave relative to its signal line.

Users can use two different algorithms for computing the signal line:

- SMA : A simple moving average of the Hyper Wave is used as signal line.

- TS : A trailing stop of the Hyper Wave is used as signal line. This algorithm makes the signal line less sensitive to noisy variations of the Hyper Wave.

The users can select the length of the signal line using the numerical input at the right of the Signal drop-down menu.

It can be more interesting to use a higher signal line length when the Main Length setting is high.

Turning Points

Crosses made between the HyperWave and its signal line are highlighted by dots on the oscillators pane, these are turning points.

By default, a Hyper Wave crossing over the signal line is highlighted in green while a Hyper Wave crossing under the signal line is highlighted in red.

Overbought/Oversold Turning Points

The displayed turning points exist in different sizes, with bigger dots occurring when the crosses are made within an overbought/oversold area.

- Oversold Turning Point : Occurs when the Hyper Wave cross over its signal line while the Hyper Wave is under 20

- Overbought Turning Point : Occurs when the Hyper Wave cross under its signal line while the Hyper Wave is over 80

Real Time Divergences

- Oversold Turning Point : Occurs when the Hyper Wave cross over its signal line while the Hyper Wave is under 20

- Overbought Turning Point : Occurs when the Hyper Wave cross under its signal line while the Hyper Wave is over 80

Divergences between the price and the HyperWave oscillator are detected in real-time. The users can return longer term divergences by decreasing the Divergence Sensitivity %, with lower values of this setting making divergence detection more sensitive to noisy variations of the Hyper Wave.

Divergences are highlighted by a blue line for bullish divergences and by a red line for bearish divergences.

Divergences On Price Chart

In order to reference the price points returning the divergence with the HyperWave, divergences lines are directly displayed on the user price chart thanks to “Show Divergences On Chart”.

t is important to note that, unlike the divergence lines that appear in the oscillator pane, the divergence lines on the user chart do not appear exactly where the divergences are detected; rather, they are set retrospectively.

! Because the amount of lines is limited to a maximum of 500, disabling “Show Divergences On Chart” can increase the amount of historical divergences highlighted on the oscillator pane.

Settings Reference

Price Action Concepts™ includes various settings affecting the appearance and behavior of the toolkit, most of which are specific to the feature they affect.

Users can access the list of user settings and their descriptions in the following page:

Money Flow and liquidity are core concepts with the Oscillator Matrix™. Various elements centered around this concept are provided to detect longer term trends, assess market participants behaviours, and detect reversals.

! The Money Flow and every associated components (overflow, thresholds) can be disabled by toggling off “Show Money Flow”

Money Flow

The toolkit include one money flow indicator that aims to detect trends based on market participants activity.

Compared to the Hyper Wave the Money Flow oscillator can return longer term indications and be used to support shorter term indications.

Overflow

Overflow occurs when excessive liquidity relative to a trend length enters the market, this can highlight late trend following participants entering the market, and can announce potential reversals.

Money Flow Thresholds

Users can gauge market activity by using the provided Money Flow thresholds, two extremities displayed above/under the central 50 levels.

When the Money Flow oscillator is above the upper threshold there is significant one-sided bullish activity on the market. When the Money Flow oscillator is under the lower threshold there is significant one-sided bearish activity on the market.

Oscillator Matrix™ comes with a complete trend reversals detection system, allowing users to timely assess when a trend is changing direction.

Classification

Different kind of reversals are returned on the oscillators pane, minor (-) and major (+) reversals signals.

Minor reversals are frequent signals often indicative of shorter term reversals, such as the top/bottom of an impulse (thus announcing a retracement). Minor reversals are highlighted by circles.

Major reversals can occur later in a trend, and can be indicative of a more significant reversals. Major reversals are highlighted by triangles.

Overflow

Confluence is an important aspect when dealing with multiple indicators. In this toolkit two features allows the users to easily assess if the confluence between each toolkit element in high or low.

Confluence Zones

Users can see on the oscillators pane one upper (above 100) and lower (under 0) zone, measuring the bullish/bearish confluence between the Hyper Wave and Money Flow oscillators.

When both the Hyper Wave and Money Flow oscillators are indicating an uptrend the upper zone is colored with a darker green. If only one of the oscillators is indicating an uptrend then the confluence zone will have a brighter green. This logic applies to the lower zone in the case of a downtrend.

! Confluence zones have an associated numerical that can be used in external scripts using the output “Upper Confluence Value” for the upper confluence zone and “Lower Confluence Value” for the lower confluence zone, returned values include:
- 2: Strong confluence
- 1: Weak confluence
- 0: No confluence

Confluence Meter

The confluence meter quantifies the amount of confluence between each indication returned by the oscillator, elements taken into account are:

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave relative to its signal line

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave

- Trend indicated by the Money Flow

- Overflow

- Divergences

The meter giving a higher measurement would be indicative of a more significant bullish confluence, that is most elements are indicative of a bullish trend, while a lower measurement would be indicative of a more significant bearish confluence.

The confluence meter had an associated numerical that can be used in external scripts using the output “Confluence Meter Value”

The Price Action Concepts™ can alert users for multiple events relevant to the existing features in the toolkit. To learn more about how to set alerts in general see how to create alerts on tradingview.

In order for an alert to work in the toolkit make sure the related feature is enabled

Any Alert() Function Call

Users can create a single alert for multiple conditions using the any alert() function call alert condition. Conditions users want to be alerted for are grouped by the type of features they affect (structures, volumetric order blocks, imbalances…etc) and are located at the bottom of the toolkit settings.

Once conditions are toggled on users only need to set an alert using the any alert() function call as condition.

Any Alert() Function Call Message

Users can set a custom message that will be used when an any alert() function call condition is triggered in the message field below the list of conditions. Users can use placeholders to customize messages and return useful information, the following placeholders are supported:

Symbol Placeholders

Time Placeholders

Custom Alert Creator

Users wishing to construct more complex alerts using features within the toolkit and/or external indicators can use the Custom Alert Creator.

The custom alert creator allows alerting when various user-set conditions are met or when a sequence of conditions is complete.

A user wishing to be alerted when any internal market structure occurs within 1AM and 5AM of the symbol timezone could do it as follows:

A custom alert can be triggered as an any alert() function call if the setting is selected or as a regular alert when selected in the Tradingview alert creator menu.`

Steps

Steps allow creating a sequence of conditions, which when met trigger an alert. When a condition with a step equal to 1 is met the next condition associated with step 2 will be evaluated (if enabled) and so on for higher steps (if any).

Conditions with the same associated step will require both conditions to be true in order for the condition associated with a higher step (if any) to be evaluated. This allows certain conditions to act as filters.

A user wishing to be alerted when the price enters a bullish imbalance after any internal bullish market structure could do it as follows:

Make sure steps are set such that they form a linear sequence. For example, if the lowest step is 2 or if the set steps are only 1 and 3 an error will be returned.

OR Step Operator

The “OR” step operator can be used to get alerted for any additional condition using “OR” as a step, in addition to other set custom alert conditions.

Conditions using the “OR” step can be highlighted using a different color, which can be set from the Custom Alert Creator settings.

All Step Operator

The “All” step operator can be used to filter any set “Step” condition, including “OR” and “Invalidate”.

This step operator can be useful if all the steps in a sequence needs to obey a specific rule.

If a user has 2 steps set, and requires both of these to occur at a specific time interval such as 9am to 1pm, then we can use a “Session” condition using the “All” step, requiring our step 1 and step 2 to be occur between 9am and 1pm.

Invalidate Step

The “Invalidate” step allows to set a condition as an “invalidation condition”. When this condition is triggered while a sequence of conditions is incomplete, the sequence will restart at step 1.

If multiple steps are set as “Invalidate” any of the conditions being true will reset the sequence of conditions, as such not all of them are required to be true for the sequence of conditions to reset.

Example

Let’s take an example where we use 2 regular steps and one “Invalidate” step. The alert will trigger when step 2 trigger after step 1 has been triggered.

Invalidation Behaviors

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below:

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

Maximum Step Interval

Users can determine what is the maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps by enabling the “Maximum Step Interval” setting. This allows restricting steps separated by a large amount of bars.

If the amount of bars since a step exceed the set threshold, then the conditions sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.

Ratios

Users can control which levels are displayed as well as the ratio used for each level. Ratios are also visible to the right side of each retracement displayed.

The Screener (S&O) is a useful tool able to return recent information from various features in the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit for up to 10 user set tickers with customizable timeframe.

In order to use the screener the best way possible it is first advised to fully understand the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit.

Provided below are pages describing all key features included.

! Having access to the Signals & Overlays™ will automatically grant you access to the S&O screener.

Tickers

Users can change tickers as well as their respective timeframes from the screener settings. Default tickers include:

- BTCUSDT

- ETHUSDT

- SOLUSDT

- ADAUSDT

- SPX

- AAPL

- TSLA

- NVDA

- EURUSD

- GBPUSD

The default timeframe used for all is the user chart timeframe. Supported tickers includes all tickers available on Tradingview (note that this availability can be affected by your Tradingview plan).

Users can also use the same ticker but different timeframes, allowing to perform multi timeframe analysis of the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit. However, duplicated tickers with the same timeframe will result in the duplicate ticker to not appear on the screener.

Display

Users are offered a high degree of freedom when it comes to the placement of the screener. By default, the screener is located on a different pane, with the options to select the following positions:

- Top Center

- Top Right

- Top Left

- Bottom Center

- Bottom Right

- Bottom Left

It is also common for more compact screeners to be directly on the price chart, this is possible with this screener by drag and dropping it to the user chart, or by moving it to the existing pane above assuming the screener is in a pane below the price chart.

Notes

Tradingview is not a friendly environment when it comes to running more complete screeners, this cause various limitations showcased below:

Computation

The computation of a screener on Tradingview is very intensive, as such you can expect rare calculations timeouts. When this occurs simply force the screener recalculation by modifying one setting or adding the screener again to your chart.

Inconsistency

It is possible to observe inconsistencies when observing the screener on a chart with a specific symbol due to screener tickers having being on different market.

The crypto market operates 24/7 while stock markets have opening and closing times, this can cause the screener to return different information when observing it from a cryptocurrency or stock/currency pair.

Confluence Meter

The confluence meter quantifies the amount of confluence between each indication returned by the oscillator, elements taken into account are:

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave relative to its signal line

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave

- Trend indicated by the Money Flow

- Overflow

- Divergences

The meter giving a higher measurement would be indicative of a more significant bullish confluence, that is most elements are indicative of a bullish trend, while a lower measurement would be indicative of a more significant bearish confluence.

The confluence meter had an associated numerical that can be used in external scripts using the output “Confluence Meter Value”

Users can also use the same ticker but different timeframes, allowing to perform multi timeframe analysis of the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit. However, duplicated tickers with the same timeframe will result in the duplicate ticker to not appear on the screener.

Display

Users are offered a high degree of freedom when it comes to the placement of the screener. By default, the screener is located on a different pane, with the options to select the following positions:

- Top Center

- Top Right

- Top Left

- Bottom Center

- Bottom Right

- Bottom Left

It is also common for more compact screeners to be directly on the price chart, this is possible with this screener by drag and dropping it to the user chart, or by moving it to the existing pane above assuming the screener is in a pane below the price chart.

Notes

Tradingview is not a friendly environment when it comes to running more complete screeners, this cause various limitations showcased below:

Computation

The computation of a screener on Tradingview is very intensive, as such you can expect rare calculations timeouts. When this occurs simply force the screener recalculation by modifying one setting or adding the screener again to your chart.

Inconsistency

It is possible to observe inconsistencies when observing the screener on a chart with a specific symbol due to screener tickers having being on different market.

The crypto market operates 24/7 while stock markets have opening and closing times, this can cause the screener to return different information when observing it from a cryptocurrency or stock/currency pair.

Confluence Meter

The confluence meter quantifies the amount of confluence between each indication returned by the oscillator, elements taken into account are:

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave relative to its signal line

- Trend indicated by the Hyper Wave

- Trend indicated by the Money Flow

- Overflow

- Divergences

The meter giving a higher measurement would be indicative of a more significant bullish confluence, that is most elements are indicative of a bullish trend, while a lower measurement would be indicative of a more significant bearish confluence.

The confluence meter had an associated numerical that can be used in external scripts using the output “Confluence Meter Value”

This page list out all the information returned by the S&O screener.

The Screener (S&O) supports various core features from the Signals & Overlays™, each listed out below.

Screener Elements

Ratings

The screener ratings indicate the confluence of all returned screener data for each individual ticker by measuring the percentage of bullish indications returned by the enabled screener elements. Ratings are determined as follows:

- ▲ Strong Bullish (more than 80% of the returned information is bullish)

- △ Bullish (60% to 80% of the returned information is bullish)

- ― Neutral (40% to 60% of the returned information is bullish)

- ▽ Bearish (20% to 60% of the returned information is bullish)

- ▼ Strong Bearish (less than 20% of the returned information is bullish)

Signal Settings

The most recent signal returned by the screener is affected by the “Signal” settings group. These settings allow changing the sensitivity of the signals as well as the signal algorithm, with users having the option to select Confirmation or Contrarian signals.

Overlays Settings

Overlay indicators screener elements are affected by their respective settings located in the “Overlays” settings group.

Each overlay has an associated setting affecting their output. These settings range from 1 to 5, with higher values allowing the overlay to return indications for longer-term trends.

Colors

Users are able to change the color of the information returned by each element from the “Screener Elements” settings.

This page explain how users can curate the information returned by the S&O screener using the filtering features.

From the “Screener Elements” settings users are able to filter out undesired information returned by the screener. This is done from the dropdown setting located on each “Screener Elements” settings.

Certain elements returning specific information from a list of supported options will have a filter allowing to select a precise option, while elements returning a value on the screener will make use of conditional operators (Above/Below), except the Lux Volatility.

Users can set a filtering condition on multiple elements, allowing them to display the tickers that respect the user set filtering conditions.

This page explain how users can sort a specific element returned by the S&O screener using the Sort By feature.

Users can sort certain elements returning/or with an associated numerical information in either a descending or ascending order. This can be useful to see specific tickers first or last depending on the sorted data on the screener.

Supported elements for sorting include:

! When “None” is selected the screener tickers appear as per their order in the Tickers settings.

Being able to anticipate where price might evolve after a trade can be useful to plan potential exit points, set take profits/stop loss as well as knowing when user set ones might get hit…etc.

All backtesting toolkits include a forecasting tool able to provide forecasts from the most recent trade executed by the backtester.

Using Forecasts

Forecasts can be enabled from the “FORECAST” settings group by enabling the “Show Forecast” toggle.

Each forecast is influenced by the price evolution made during previous respective long and short trades, as such forecasts for long positions are different from the ones of short positions.

Users can select the maximum length of forecast using the “Forecasting Length” setting.

! Because of the forecasting algorithm used, forecasts can have a lower length than the one selected by the user depending on the average bars in trade.
Very frequent trades will generally return short price forecasts due to the lack of available data.

Forecasting Area

By default, forecasts are displayed alongside an area, indicating where future prices might evolve. The area extremities can help users potentially determines exit points with there interaction with the price, but can also help reference the performance of a current trade relative to past trades.

Areas extremities are representative of past trades performances. For example:

For long positions: A lower extremity not significantly going below the entry price can indicate good past performance for long positions.

-For short positions: An upper extremity not significantly going above the entry price can indicate good past performance for short positions

! If an area is no longer visible in a point in time of the forecast it means that there is not enough data for that point in time.

Forecasting Memory

Users can control the influence older trades have on the forecast using the “Maximum Forecast Memory” setting, with lower values using a shorter term memory, discarding older information more quickly.

Low values of this setting allow obtaining more diverse forecasts for new trades, while higher values will return forecasts less subject to change over time.

Take Profits Levels From Forecast

When forecasts are displayed, users can set take profits using the nth percentile of a returned forecast. This can be done from the “TPS & SLS” settings, by selecting “Forecast” in the “Long TP” and/or “Short TP”.

The numerical setting selected at the right of the drop-down menus determines the percentile used, and should be set within the range [0, 100] in order to work. Percentiles values can affect the returned levels as follows:

- In case of a long trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits closer to the entry price, potentially triggering sooner.

- In case of a short trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits further away from the entry price, potentially triggering later.

! Do note that because forecasts are based on the strategy entries, take profits levels based on it can be subject to repainting, except when using a backtesting window based on a date.

Users can get alerted for any action executed by a strategy, from opening positions to closing them. The way alerts work is the same across all the Backtesting System™ scripts.

The message field in the Alert Messages setting section of each Backtesting System™ allows for the strategy to send a custom alert message depending on the action taken by the strategy, if no messages are set the strategy will send default messages..

In order for alerts to return custom user set messages the {{strategy.order.alert_message}} should be set on the message field of the Tradingview alert menu.

! Backtesting System™ (PAC) does not have Exit Long/Short TP/SL alerts, instead only having Exit Long/Short

Alerts Placeholders

Users can use placeholders in the messages set from the Alert Messages setting section to return market data, take profit/stop losses values, chart ticker and timeframe…etc.

New long entry generated at {time} and price {close} on {ticker}{timeframe} with take profit {tp} and stop loss {sl}

Backtesting System™ (S&O) is a backtesting system that allows users to perform backtests using features from the Signals & Overlays. Many options are included to provide more complete and diverse backtests to the user, each core component of the system are described in the following pages:

Backtest Parameters

The Backtesting System™ (S&O) use the following default properties:.

These should be adjusted to return more precise and accurate results of the real performance of a trading strategy.

Disclaimer

! Backtests are not indicative of future results. Backtesting strategies on synthetic data does not return representative results of a strategy. Backtests should be performed on charts returning real closing prices. See here for more information.

Backtesting System™ (S&O) makes use of various features within the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit such as Confirmation and Contrarian Signals or Overlays indicators to specify entry rules for the strategy..

! More information regarding signal settings can be found here

By default, backtesting is performed using the most recent 2000 bars, this value can be changed from the Backtest Window (Bars) setting, the user can also perform a backtest between two specified dates using the “Date” options in “Backtesting Window”, or using all the available chart history by using “Entire History” (note that this will not allow the optimizer to run).

Long/Short Entry Conditions

Users can specify their strategy respective long/short entry rules from the LONG CONDITIONS and SHORT CONDITIONS settings sections, using the following available options:

Multiple conditions can be enabled at the same time, in which case the backtester will require all conditions to be true in order to execute an order.

! If the Exit On Signal setting is enabled, existing positions will be exited on the occu rrence of a confirmation/contrarian signal if enabled.

No Existing Positions Requirement

Users can enable the setting in order to only open trade when no existing positions are open. This setting allows waiting for a position to be closed before one can be opened.

! Enabling Don’t Allow Trades Until Closed for long positions will prevent opening shorts as long as a long position is opened.
If this same setting is not enabled for short conditions then shorts can effectively be closed by new long positions.

Backtesting System™ (S&O) makes use of various features within the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit such as Confirmation and Contrarian Signals or Overlays indicators to specify entry rules for the strategy..

External Exits

Exit Take Profit

Long/Short take profits exits conditions will exit a long or short position when a set condition is met such that the position exit on a profit.

Take profits conditions are triggered if they are toggled on for a specific order (Long/Short) and if the selected external source is either Crossing, Crossing Up, or Crossing Down, Greater Than, Lower Than, or Equal to the numerical value specified by the user.+

Exit Stop Losses

Long/Short stop losses exits conditions will exit a long or short order when a set condition is met such that the position exit on a loss.

Stop losses conditions are triggered if they are toggled on for a specific order (Long/Short) and if the selected external source is either Crossing, Crossing Up, or Crossing Down, Greater Than, Lower Than, or Equal to the numerical value specified by the user.

Placeholders

Users who do not wish to use a numerical value to evaluate a condition with an external source may use a placeholder instead, which allows using price data. The following placeholders are supported:

- open : Opening price

- high : High price

- low : Low price

- close : Closing price

- hl2 : Median price

- ohlc4 : Average price

- hlc3 : Typical price

- hlcc4 : Weighted price

Multiple conditions can be enabled at the same time, in which case the backtester will require all conditions to be true in order to execute an order.

! If the Exit On Signal setting is enabled, existing positions will be exited on the occurrence of a confirmation/contrarian signal if enabled.

No Existing Positions Requirement

Users can enable the setting in order to only open trade when no existing positions are open. This setting allows waiting for a position to be closed before one can be opened.

! Enabling Don’t Allow Trades Until Closed for long positions will prevent opening shorts as long as a long position is opened.
If this same setting is not enabled for short conditions then shorts can effectively be closed by new long positions.

Users can set take profits and stop losses orders allowing a certain degree of money management in the backtest. Take profits and stop loss orders can be enabled and adjusted from the FIXED TPS & SLS settings section.

External Exits

Exit Take Profit

! Take profits and stop losses orders are placed relative to the price preceding a trade, and might not be filled at the exact price set by the user.

TP/SL Options

Take profits and stop losses for specific orders can be enabled from the toggles in their settings section. Take profits and stop losses can be set using various methods described below:

Trailing Stop

Users can use a percentage-based trailing stop to exit positions. The trailing stop will move in the direction of interest if its distance with the low price (in case of long positions) or high price (in case of short positions) is greater than the specified percentage.

Take Profits Levels From Forecast

When forecasts are displayed, users can set take profits using the nth percentile of a returned forecast. This can be done from the “TPS & SLS” settings, by selecting “Forecast” in the “Long TP” and/or “Short TP”.

The numerical setting selected at the right of the drop-down menus determines the percentile used, and should be set within the range [0, 100] in order to work. Percentiles values can affect the returned levels as follows:

- In case of a long trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits closer to the entry price, potentially triggering sooner.

- In case of a short trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits further away from the entry price, potentially triggering later.

! Do note that because forecasts are based on the strategy entries, take profits levels based on it can be subject to repainting, except when using a backtesting window based on a date.

When signals are used to perform a backtest, the Backtesting System™ is able to return the Sensitivity setting that maximized a user specified statistic such as net profit, winrate, profit factor, or maximum drawdown.

! Certain settings will disable the optimization procedure, such as disabling the backtesting window or using autopilot.

Procedure

Users can choose to optimize net profit, winrate, profit factor, potential ratio ( φ ) (φ) or maximum drawdown depending on the options selected from the Optimize drop-down menu within the OPTIMIZER settings section.

The ratio between the sum of maximum potential profits you could have made in your trades over the sum of maximum potential losses you could have made in your trades (higher is better).

Higher values indicates that the entries generated by the strategy have the potential to lead to larger profits compared to losses. Lower values however might be indicative of a more risky strategy, with more frequent exposure to larger potential losses.

If the backtest with the highest potential ratio is not the one with the highest potential profit then it can be indicative of a strategy with more potential with a tendency to exit trades potentially too late.

Optimization can be performed on any given range for the Sensitivity setting.

! Optimizing the Sensitivity setting using a large range of values and/or using a large backtest window can increase computation time, potentially returning time-out errors.

! Results from the optimizer can vary from the backtest results returned by the strategy, this is due to the difference between how the Tradingview backtesting engine opens positions compared to the internal engine used to perform optimization within the script. Using different signal algorithms for long/short entry rules can return very different results from the optimizer compared to backtesting results.
Take profits and/or stop losses orders are taken into account by the internal engine if these are enabled, however, there can still exist a great degree of disparity between results from the backtest and results returned by the optimizer.

Warmup Period

The warmup period allows the script to compute the signal algorithms n bars prior to the backtesting window, where n is the selected warmup period. This allows to backtest signals that are closer to the ones returned by the Signals & Overlays™ toolkit, returning more accurate optimized settings as a result.

Optimization Dashboard

Users can see the backtests results for sensitivity values within the specified optimization range on a dashboard shown on the top-right of their chart. This dashboard presents results in descending order, with results associated to the best optimized statistic appearing on top.

Simple

Users that do not wish to have a large dashboard on the chart can use the Simple optimization dashboard. This dashboard will only return the Sensitivity setting that optimize the selected statistic alongside the statistic of interest.

Display

Users can control the location as well as hide the optimization dashboard on the chart from the DISPLAY settings section.

A dashboard location set to None will hide it from the chart as well as disable the optimizer.

Backtesting System™ (PAC) is a backtesting system that allows users to perform backtests using price action related features from our Price Action Concept™ toolkit. Users can create their own entry and exit conditions as well as control take-profit and stop-loss placement, each core components of the system is described on the following pages:

Backtest Parameters

Conditions 1, 2, and 3 work the same way, and allow using conditions from market structures, volumetric order blocks, imbalances, and liquidity grabs.

The first dropdown includes options: Bullish and Bearish, and determines the origin of the selected condition in the second dropdown.

The second dropdown includes the list of price action related conditions, these include:

For example if the user wants to go Long when a new Bullish CHoCH the following settings would be used:

! User can change the settings of each price action concept by scrolling down the settings, each concept has its own setting group. To learn more about each concept see:
Market Structures
Order Blocks
Imbalances
Liquidity Grabs

External Conditions

Users can use the output of external indicators on the chart as input to set entry conditions.

The second dropdown of external condition settings determines which conditional operator to use on both external outputs. These include:

- Greater Than

- Lower Than

- Equal

- Crossing Over

- Crossing Under

- Crossing

The third external condition works similarly but instead of comparing two external outputs the condition will compare an external output specified in the condition first dropdown with a user set value in the third dropdown using a conditional operator set on the second dropdown. This last condition is particularly useful for oscillators

Here is an example of the third external condition being set for price crossing over a simple moving average.

Session Condition

! Session timezone is the same as the one of the chart symbol exchange (UTC for cryptocurrencies)

Using Conditions Together

More complex entry rules can be created by using multiple conditions together, this is done thanks to the Step dropdown setting on the right of each condition (below each condition for conditions 4 and 5).

The Step setting is directly related to the Step & Match algorithm and work in two ways:

- When two or more conditions have the same step number, both conditions are evaluated. Used to test matching conditions.

- When two or more conditions have different step numbers, each conditions will be evaluated in order, testing for the first step and switching to the next step once the previous one is true. When the final step is true the strategy will open a market order. Used to create sequence of conditions.

This operation is complementary, as you can create a sequence of conditions with one step consisting of two or more matching conditions as long as they have the same step number.

! A user wanting to go long when a bullish break of structure occurs after price mitigated a bearish ord er block while price was above its 20 period moving average could do it as follows:

Invalidate Step

The “Invalidate” step allows to set a condition as an “invalidation conditi on”. When this condition is triggered while a sequence of conditions is incomplete, the sequence will restart at step 1.

If multiple steps are set as “Invalidate” any of the conditions being true will reset the sequence of conditions, as such not all of them are required to be true for the sequence of conditions to reset.

Invalidation Behaviors

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below:

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

No Existing Positions Requirement

Users can enable the Don’t Allow Trades Until Closed setting in order to only open trade when no existing positions are open. This setting allows waiting for a position to be closed before one can be opened.

Conditions Exit Long 1 and Exit Short 1 allow using conditions from market structures, volumetric order blocks, and imbalances.

The first dropdown includes options: Bullish and Bearish and determines the origin of the selected condition in the second dropdown.

The second dropdown includes the list of price action related conditions, these include:

Long/Short Entry Conditions

Users can specify their strategy respective long/short entry rules from the LONG ONDITIONS and SHORT CONDITIONS settings sections, using the following available options:

External Conditions

Conditions Exit Long 2 and Exit Short 2 allow the user to use the output of external indicators on the chart as input for setting exit conditions.

These allow setting a condition based on two different external indicators output, with The first and third dropdowns determining which external output to use..

The second dropdown determines which conditional operator to use on both external outputs. These include:

- Greater Than

- Lower Than

- Equal

- Crossing Over

- Crossing Under

- Crossing

Using Conditions Together

More complex exit rules can be created by using multiple conditions together, this is done thanks to the Step dropdown setting on the right of each condition (below each condition for Exit Long 2 and Exit Short 2).

The Step setting is directly related to the Step & Match algorithm and work in two ways:

When two or more conditions have the same step number, both conditions are evaluated. Used to test matching conditions.

When two or more conditions have different step numbers, each conditions will be evaluated in order, testing for the first step and switching to the next step once the previous one is true. When the final step is true the strategy will open a market order. Used to create sequence of conditions.

This operation is complementary, as you can create a sequence of conditions with one step consisting of two or more matching conditions as long as they have the same step number.

Time Exits

Time exits allow users to exit trade from a specific time of the day. Note that trades are still exited at the opening of the next bar.

The timezone is the same as the one of the chart symbol.

Partial Exits

Users can exit a percentage of an existing position by specifying a percentage lower than 100%. This can lead to sequential exit, with reduced exposure each time an exit is triggered.

Users can set take profits and stop losses orders allowing a certain degree of money management in the backtest. Take profits and stop loss orders can be enabled and adjusted from the FIXED TPS & SLS settings section.

Take profits and stop losses orders are placed relative to the price preceding a trade, and might not be filled at the exact price set by the user.

The second dropdown includes the list of price action related conditions, these include:

TP/SL Options

Trailing Stop

Users can use a percentage based trailing stop to exit positions. The trailing stop will move in the direction of interest if its distance with the low price(in case of long positions) or high price (in case of short positions) is greater than the specified percentage.

Take Profits Levels From Forecast

When forecasts are displayed, users can set take profits using the nth percentile of a returned forecast. This can be done from the “TPS & SLS” settings, by selecting “Forecast” in the “Long TP” and/or “Short TP”.

The numerical setting selected at the right of the drop-down menus determines the percentile used, and should be set within the range [0, 100] in order to work. Percentiles values can affect the returned levels as follows:

- In case of a long trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits closer to the entry price, potentially triggering sooner.

- In case of a short trade, a lower set percentile will return take profits further away from the entry price, potentially triggering later.

Do note that because forecasts are based on the strategy entries, take profits levels based on it can be subject to repainting, except when using a backtesting window based on a date.

Backtesting System™ (PAC) is a backtesting system that allows users to perform backtests using price action related features from our Price Action Concept™ toolkit. Users can create their own entry and exit conditions as well as control take-profit and stop-loss placement, each core components of the system is described on the following pages:

Backtest Parameters

The Backtesting System™ (S&O) use the following default properties:.

These should be adjusted to return more precise and accurate results of the real performance of a trading strategy.

Disclaimer

! Backtests are not indicative of future results. Backtesting strategies on synthetic data does not return representative results of a strategy. Backtests should be performed on charts returning real closing prices. See here for more information.

Users can close any position on a profit or loss using specific crossing conditions obtained from external sources. Exits conditions can be enabled in the EXIT CONDITIONS settings section.

! Oscillators are intended to be used as external source when it comes to TP/SL conditions, but users can directly create scripts returning scaled outputs from overlay indicators.

Exit Take Profit

Long/Short take profits exits conditions will exit a long or short position when a set condition is met such that the position exit on a profit.

Take profits conditions are triggered if they are toggled on for a specific order (Long/Short) and if the selected external source is either Crossing, Crossing Up, or Crossing Down, Greater Than, Lower Than, or Equal to the numerical value specified by the user.

Exit Stop Losses

Long/Short stop losses exits conditions will exit a long or short order when a set condition is met such that the position exit on a loss.

Stop losses conditions are triggered if they are toggled on for a specific order (Long/Short) and if the selected external source is either Crossing, Crossing Up, or Crossing Down, Greater Than, Lower Than, or Equal to the numerical value specified by the user.

Time Exits

Time exits allow users to exit trade from a specific time of the day. Note that trades are still exited at the opening of the next bar.

The timezone is the same as the one of the chart symbol.

Placeholders

Users who do not wish to use a numerical value to evaluate a condition with an external source may use a placeholder instead, which allows using prices. The following placeholders are supported:

• open : Opening price
• high : High price
• low : Low price
• close : Closing price
• hl2 : Median price
• ohlc4 : Average price
• hlc3 : Typical price
• hlcc4 : Weighted price
