Smooth First Derivative IndicatorIntroducing the Smooth First Derivative indicator. For each time step, the script numerically differentiates the price data using prior datapoints from the look-back window. The resulting time derivative (the rate of price change over time) is presented as a centered oscillator.
A first derivative is a versatile tool used in functional data analysis. When applied to price data, it can be applied to analyze momentum, confirm trend direction, and identify pivot points.
Model Description:
The model assumes that, within the look-back window, price data can be well approximated by a smooth differentiable function. The first derivative can then be computed numerically using a noise-robust one-sided differentiator. The current version of the script employs smooth differentiators developed by P. Holoborodko (www.holoborodko.com). Note that the Indicator should not be confused with Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator.
Input parameter:
The Bandwidth parameter sets the number of points in the moving look-back window and thus determines the smoothness of the first derivative curve. Note that a smoother Indicator shows a greater lag.
Interpretation:
When using this Indicator, one should recall that the first derivative can simply be interpreted as the slope of the curve:
- The maximum (minimum) in the Indicator corresponds to the point at which the market experiences the maximum upward (downward) slope, i.e., the inflection point. The steeper the slope, the greater the Indicator value.
- The positive-to-negative zero-crossing in the Indicator suggests that the market has formed a local maximum (potential start of a downtrend or a period of consolidation). Likewise, a zero-crossing from negative to positive is a potential bullish signal.

|AG| VWAP ANALYSIS|AG| VWAP ANALYSIS
The volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is a trading benchmark used by traders that gives the average price security has traded throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
It is important because it provides traders with insight into both the trend and value of the security.
VWAP is calculated by adding up the $ traded for every transaction (price multiplied by the number of shares traded) and then dividing by the total shares traded.
A detailed formula and calculations could be found here:
-> fanf2.user.srcf.net
Actually, TradingView has an option for Anchored Vwap is a really good implementation for specific analysis.
The following script takes into account the #Time_Period_Change and plots the VWAP calculation.
The #Time_Period Available for this script are:
-> Day
-> Week
-> Monthly
-> Quarter
-> Year
1. The option that we have is the SOURCE:
-> HLC3 (High, Low, Close)/3 is the right way to calculate VWAP.
-> But I included other traditional options:
-> open, high, low, close, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4
2. The option of Turn ON/OFF VWAP
-> Timeframe selection:
-> All, 1. Day, 2. Week, 3. Month, 4. Quarter, 5. Year, 6. >=Weekly, 7. >=Montlhy
-> With this, we could select the time for plotting the VWAP. And some cool features such as >= that we are going to plot different Timeframes VWAP calculations.
-> Vwap Label:
-> We could select if show labels or not
3. The option of Turn ON/OFF Previous VWAP Level
-> VWAP of one selected Time Period is going to end with a final price this level most of the time is retested and gives us a good opportunity for entry into one trade.
Or could be used as Stop Loss.
-> Timeframe selection:
-> 1. Day, 2. Week, 3. Month, 4. Quarter, 5. Year, 6. >=Weekly, 7. >=Montlhy, 8. >=Daily
-> Factor
-> The factor options lead as increment the extension of the previous time period.
-> Example: D is the normal time period and with factor, we change from 1D to 2D in order to extend previous levels of VWAP.
->The Factor option is only available in 1. Day and 2. Week. With a Min Value of 1 and a Maximum Value of 50.
-> Labels:
-> We could select if show labels or not
4. The option of Turn ON/OFF Standard Deviation Bands
-> Label:
-> We could select if show labels or not
-> Timeframe selection:
-> 1. Day, 2. Week, 3. Month, 4. Quarter, 5. Year
5. The option of Turn ON/OFF Previous Standard Deviation
-> Timeframe selection:
-> None, 1. Day, 2. Week, 3. Month, 4. Quarter, 5. Year, 6. >=Weekly, 7. >=Montlhy, 8. Quarter & Year
-> STDEV LEVEL
-> Since there are different options for Standard Deviation I included 4 options
-> 1
-> 2
-> 3
-> User Selection
-> In this option we could select any NUMBER for STVDEV 0.25 of step.
-> Label:
-> We could select if show labels or not
6. The Lockback Setting
-> This Script also includes an option to only plot a certain amount of days back.
The main reason in order to have a more clear chart.
-> We could select between:
-> PLOT ALL
-> CUSTOM
-> If we select Custom Then we could select the Number of Days Back that is going to be plotted.
7. Color Theme
Here we select the color (Visual Desing)
-> Color Theme
-> Text Color
-> Here I use the recent input.color option added for TradingView making the color selection really simple
8. Time Period Highlighter
-> In this option, we could select one time period in order to plot one tiny background and identify the change in the time period.
-> Timeframe selection:
-> 1. Day, 2. Week, 3. Month, 4. Quarter, 5. Year
9. Label Offset
-> Finally, this option leads us to change the position of the labels into the X-axis by default 20.
This script has many options the combinations and the possibilities of making different analyses are bast.
Here some examples of what we could make:
DEFAULT SETTING:
PREVIOUS VWAP FOR TIME PERIOD >= WEEK
(work good as S&D levels)
PREVIOUS VWAP Week WITH A FACTOR OF 4
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - DAY
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - WEEK
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - MONTH
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - QUARTER
STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - YEAR
PREVIOUS STANDARD DEVIATION - DAY SDTV 3
PREVIOUS STANDARD DEVIATION - WEEK SDTV 3
USING STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS - WEEK
WITH LOCKBACK -> PLOT ALL
WITH CUSTOM 30 DAYS
I think the options possibilities of analysis using #VWAP are truly awesome.
I like the relationship that one previous VWAP has with Standard Pivot Points.
Good Luck,
Anderson,

Excellent ADXThe Average Directional movement indeX (ADX) is an indicator that helps you determine the trend direction, pivot points, and much more else! But it looks not so easy as other famous indicators. It seems strange or even terrible, but don't be afraid. Let's understand how it works and get its power into your analysis tactics.
In the beginning, imagine a drunk man goes through a ladder: step by step. Up, up, down, up, down, down, up...
How can we understand which direction he goes? Exactly! We can count the number of steps in each direction. In the above example, in the upward – 4, in the downward – 3. So, it looks like he goes in an upward direction.
The ADX indicator counts the same steps, but for price. The size of each step equals 1 ATR for "DI Length" candles. On the indicator chart, we have the green and red lines. The green line represents a number of steps upward. The red line shows one downward. When the red line upper green, then the price goes below, then the trend is directed down. Later the green line comes above the red one, and then the trend changes the direction to upward. Wow? After that, you can easy detect the trend direction on the market!
But it is still not the end. On the chart, we also have the fat blue line. This is the ADX line, and it represents the power of the trend. It is calculated from a distance between the green and red curves. The ADX line value grows if the distance is increased. If the movement is really powerful, then a number of steps into a direction much more prominent than one in an opposed direction. Then the blue line grows faster. But if the growth has stopped and the blue line turns back or already had changed self-direction, then it is a signal that the trend has ended too. It's an excellent sign to close the position (but not always). Easy? Not quite. Thresholds help you there. The indicator has two additional parameters: upper and lower thresholds to evaluate the trend-over signal strength. An u-turn of the ADX line above the upper threshold sends a strong signal. If one occurs between both thresholds, it is a bit weak signal. But if the blue line goes below the lower threshold, it looks like there is no trend, and the price goes side. We can also say that the price goes side when the ADX value gradually falls down.
The Excellent ADX indicator helps you catch pivot/pullback signals based on green, red, and blue lines. Each such signal is highlighted as a green (buy) or red (sell) dot on the plot. The size of the dot represents the strength of the signal. You can also check the position of green and red lines from each other to determine the trend direction and the place where it has been changed. The Excellent ADX indicator helps you there too. It highlights the trend direction by the background-color, so you'll never miss it! The Excellent ADX good compliance with the Price Channel indicator built for the same length. You can use them together to be on a trend wave always! Indicator

Pivot Points (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)Pivot point: P = (High + Low)/2
First support: S1 = Low
Second support, S2 = Low - 2 * (High - Low)
First resistance: R1 = High
Second resistance, R2 = High + 2 * (High - Low)
White Line: Pivot Point
Gleen Line(Thin Line): Support 1
Green Line(Thick Line): Support 2
Red Line(Thin Line): Resistance 1
Red Line (Thick Line): Resistance 2
You can adjust it to daily, weekly or monthly indicators, daily for intraday trading (1minute, 1hour etc.), weekly and monthly for day/swing trading, monthly for weekly trades. I plot the graph with steplines since I think they can show the differences of pivots from time to time more clearly, you are free to change to other plot styles like circles or regular lines if you want to. Please like this script, and let me know any questions, thanks. Indicator

Moving Averages as Support Resistance MTFHello Traders!
As most of you know that Moving Averages with the lengths 50, 100, 150 and 200 are very important. We should use these this moving averages to figure out S/R levels, the possible reversals points, trend direction etc. we should check these moving averages on Higher Time Frames as well. for example if you look at the chart with 5mins time frame, you should also check it in 1hour and 4hour time frames to see to big picture and main trend. this is important as trend is your friend and you should not take positions against the trend.
I developed this script to show them clearly and make the chart understandable. 1 resistance line above the price and 1 support line below the price, it shows the moving average type, length, time frame and S/R level.
You have option to show SMA or EMA and to include/exclude current time frame, because you may want to see only MAs from higher time frames. you should set higher time frames accordingly.
if you add all moving averages for current and higher time frame the chart looks very crowded as following example:
The script makes it clear to understand the chart better, here an example:
It can show when S/R was broken and you get alert. here an example:
You have coloring and style options, you can change line style and colors as you wish:
Enjoy! Indicator
