Temporal Range Compression Index – TradingView Indicator

The Temporal Range Compression Index (TRCI) is a custom technical indicator published on TradingView's Pine Script library. It is designed to identify periods when price action is compressing within a tightening range over time, which often precedes significant breakout moves in either direction. Range compression indicators work by measuring how much the high-low spread of price bars is contracting relative to prior periods. When the range narrows consistently, it signals that volatility is being suppressed and that market participants may be accumulating or distributing before a larger directional move. This concept is closely related to volatility squeeze strategies used by professional traders. The TRCI adds a temporal dimension to this analysis, meaning it factors in not just the size of the price range but also how long the compression phase has persisted. Longer compression periods can sometimes indicate a more powerful pending breakout, as more energy is effectively being stored in the market structure. Traders can use this indicator on TradingView by accessing the script at the linked URL and applying it to any chart across stocks, forex, crypto, or futures markets. As with all technical tools, it is best used alongside other confirmation signals such as volume analysis or momentum oscillators to reduce false breakout signals.

Welcome to the Channel: Trading Indicators and Market Concepts

👋 Hey everyone — welcome to all new subscribers. Glad to have you here. For some of you, this might be your very first step into trading. For others — just another channel in a long list. Either way — welcome. Let me be straight from the start: I build complex indicators, break down serious concepts, and sometimes say things that sound blunt. If something doesn't make sense — that's completely normal. Trading is one of the hardest professions in the world. There's no such thing as "figuring it out quickly." But here's the thing. Not understanding something is not a reason to leave. It's a reason to ask. I've been in the markets for over 20 years. Intraday trading, institutional concepts, building my own tools — this is my life, not a hobby. I have a lot to share, and I'm not going to hide it behind paid courses. So — if something isn't clear, if you want to go deeper, if you have a question that feels "stupid" — ask without hesitation. There are no stupid questions here. Only the ones you never asked.

Building Trading Discipline After Losses: Stay the Course

🔥 The market doesn't care if you're ready. It just moves. With you or without you. Most blow their accounts and quit. Switch strategies. Hunt for the "perfect" indicator. Buy another course. Keep searching. You don't find your path. You build it. I didn't change my methodology every time the market slapped me. I went deeper into what I believe in. Structure. Correlations. Price logic. Over and over — until it became mine. Strength isn't about having no losses. Strength is keeping going after the losses. A strategy doesn't work on its own. It's made to work by the guy who didn't quit on trade number 47. Stay strong — the market will give you what's yours.

Smart Levels Indicator: Failed Breakout Detection & Unbroken Filter

https://www.tradingview.com/script/iIjKqxlW-Smart-Levels/ 🆕 What's new: Failed Breakout (FB) Detection The indicator now automatically identifies levels with failed breakouts — where two consecutive pivots of the same type show diminishing amplitude, signaling rejection. FB levels are highlighted with a separate color and marked with "FB" in the label. Unbroken Filter Show only levels that price has never fully broken through. Two break detection modes: by candle Close or by Wick, with an adjustable noise buffer to avoid false breaks from spread. FB Pivot Markers Individual pivot points belonging to FB levels are now marked directly on the chart (▼ / ▲ with price), so you can see exactly which touches formed the level. Smart Alerts Alert system rebuilt on alert() — fires once per new FB level, updates automatically without restarting the alert. No manual reset needed. ⚡️ Improvements: Level labels now show status: ✓ active / ✕ broken Broken levels displayed in faded color (optional, toggleable) max_lines_count and max_labels_count increased to 500 Recalculation optimized — only triggers on new pivot or last bar

Buyer Seller Pressure Indicator for TradingView

The Buyer Seller Pressure indicator, available on TradingView under the script ID L4iizoXX, is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders visualize the balance between buying and selling activity in a given market. By quantifying these opposing forces, the indicator aims to give traders a clearer picture of who is currently in control — buyers or sellers. Understanding buyer and seller pressure is a foundational concept in price action and volume analysis. When buying pressure dominates, prices tend to rise as demand outpaces supply. Conversely, when selling pressure takes over, prices typically fall. Indicators like this one attempt to quantify that dynamic in real time, giving traders an edge in timing entries and exits. This type of tool is particularly useful for short-term and intraday traders who need to make quick decisions based on order flow and momentum shifts. It can be applied across a wide range of assets including stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and futures markets available on the TradingView platform. To use the Buyer Seller Pressure script, visit the TradingView public library and search for the indicator by name or navigate directly via the link provided. As with any technical indicator, it is best used in conjunction with other analysis methods such as trend identification, support and resistance levels, and volume confirmation.

Trading Psychology: Why 80% of Success Is Mental, Not Technical

A Confession from a Trader with 20 Years of Experience Take a couple of minutes to read this — it might save you years and money. Most people come to the market searching for a Magic Tool. An indicator, a strategy, signals — something that will deliver consistent profits. Such a tool doesn't exist. Here's the statistics: over 90% of people lose money in the market. And it's not just about poor strategy or lack of market understanding. More often than not, the reason is psychology. If you're a beginner: Don't trade with real money. Period. Get a demo account, pick a strategy, trade. Making profits? Next step — a real account with a minimal deposit. And this is where it gets interesting. When real money is on the line — your emotions start controlling you. As your account grows, making the right decisions becomes increasingly difficult. Simple math: $100 deposit, 1% stop-loss = $1 loss. Unpleasant, but manageable. $1,000,000 deposit, same 1% = $10,000 loss. Same strategy. Same risk percentage. But psychologically — these are completely different universes. I know a trader who went through the entire journey: demo, small deposit, consistent profits. But on a large account, he broke down psychologically. And still can't overcome it to this day. I'm not discouraging you from trading. I want you to understand: the technical part is 20% of success. The other 80% — is you.

Kagi Trend Filter Indicator for TradingView

The Kagi Trend Filter is a custom TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify prevailing trend direction by applying the logic of Kagi charting to standard price data. Unlike traditional candlestick or bar charts, Kagi charts ignore time and only plot price movements when a defined reversal threshold is exceeded, making them effective at cutting through short-term noise. By embedding this logic into an overlay or signal filter, the script allows traders to see when price action has made a meaningful directional shift rather than reacting to every minor fluctuation. This can be especially useful for swing traders and position traders who want to avoid being shaken out of trades by normal market volatility. The indicator can serve as a standalone trend gauge or be combined with other tools such as momentum oscillators, moving averages, or volume indicators to build a more complete trading strategy. When the Kagi-based trend reads bullish, traders may look for long setups; when it turns bearish, short opportunities or defensive positioning may be more appropriate. The script is publicly available on TradingView and can be added directly to any chart through the platform's indicator library. Traders are encouraged to backtest and adjust the reversal sensitivity parameter to suit the specific asset and timeframe they are trading.

The Long Game in Trading: Why Persistence Matters More Than Speed

One of the most overlooked truths in trading is that the timeline to success is rarely predictable. Some traders reach their goals in months, others take years, and a few spend a decade refining their edge before things click. What separates those who make it from those who quit is not raw talent or luck — it is the commitment to keep showing up, learning, and adapting regardless of how long the road turns out to be. The trading journey is filled with drawdowns, losing streaks, and periods of self-doubt. These are not signs of failure; they are part of the process for virtually every successful trader. The market is designed to test your conviction. Understanding that difficulty is a normal phase rather than a signal to quit is one of the most important mental shifts a trader can make. Thinking of yourself as someone who will eventually reach financial milestones — rather than someone who might — reframes how you handle setbacks. Instead of asking 'Is this working?' after a bad week, you start asking 'What can I improve?' That subtle shift in perspective turns every loss into a lesson and every lesson into compounding experience. Consistency in execution, risk management, and continuous education are what bridge the gap between where a trader starts and where they ultimately want to be. Whether your horizon is one year or ten, the traders who succeed are almost always the ones who simply refused to stop.

The Risk of Forgetting an Open Trade and What Happens Next

Leaving a trade open and forgetting about it is one of those mistakes that sounds minor until it actually happens to you. Whether the market moved in your favor or against you, the outcome was entirely out of your control — and that is exactly the problem. Trading without active oversight is closer to gambling than strategy. Open positions carry risk around the clock, especially in markets like forex or crypto that trade 24 hours a day. News events, liquidity shifts, and volatility spikes do not wait for you to log back in. A position that looked fine at entry can look very different by morning, sometimes dramatically so in either direction. The core lesson here is not about this one trade — it is about the habit. Experienced traders use hard stop-losses, position size limits, and end-of-session checklists specifically to protect themselves from moments of forgetfulness or distraction. These are not optional extras; they are the basic infrastructure of a sustainable trading routine. If you trade regularly, build a simple pre-sleep or pre-logout checklist: confirm all positions are intentional, stops are set, and sizing is appropriate for overnight exposure. One overlooked trade is a cheap lesson. The second one, without a change in behavior, tends to cost more.

Kagi Trend Filter Indicator for TradingView

The Kagi Trend Filter is a custom TradingView indicator available in the Pine Script community library. It applies the logic of Kagi charting to a standard price chart, helping traders identify the prevailing trend direction while filtering out minor price fluctuations and market noise. Kagi charts are a Japanese charting technique that ignore time and only plot price movements when they exceed a defined reversal amount. By translating this concept into an overlay or signal-based indicator, the Kagi Trend Filter gives traders a cleaner read on whether price is in an uptrend or downtrend without the clutter of tick-by-tick volatility. This type of trend filter can be used alongside other technical analysis tools such as moving averages, momentum oscillators, or volume indicators to confirm trade entries and exits. It is particularly useful for traders who want to avoid false signals during choppy or sideways market conditions. The script is published publicly on TradingView and can be accessed through the Pine Script indicator library. Traders can add it to any chart and adjust the reversal sensitivity parameter to suit different assets, timeframes, and volatility profiles.

SMI Ergodic Confluence Pro Indicator on TradingView

The SMI Ergodic Confluence Pro is a custom TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify momentum shifts and trend direction with greater precision. It builds on the classic Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) by layering ergodic calculations, which smooth out price noise and produce cleaner, more reliable signals across different market conditions. The 'confluence' aspect of this tool refers to its ability to combine multiple SMI-based signals into a unified view, allowing traders to spot high-probability entry and exit points when several conditions align simultaneously. This approach reduces false signals that can occur when using a single momentum oscillator in isolation. Indicators like this are particularly popular among swing traders and day traders who rely on momentum-based strategies in equity, forex, and crypto markets. By publishing the script publicly on TradingView, the author makes it accessible to the broader retail trading community, where it can be applied directly to any chart or timeframe. To use the SMI Ergodic Confluence Pro, traders can open the linked TradingView script page, add it to their chart via the Pine Script editor or the indicator library, and adjust the input parameters to suit their preferred asset and timeframe. As with any technical indicator, it is recommended to combine it with additional context such as price action, volume, or support and resistance levels before making trading decisions.

Capital.com Review: Wide USD Spreads Make Trading Difficult

Capital.com is a well-known retail trading platform that ticks many of the right boxes: it holds licenses from reputable regulators including the FCA and CySEC, and its interface is widely considered clean and beginner-friendly. For traders evaluating a new broker, those fundamentals matter a great deal. However, one recurring complaint from active traders is the width of spreads on USD-denominated currency pairs. Spreads represent the difference between the buy and sell price of an asset, and wide spreads directly increase the cost of every trade. For short-term or high-frequency traders in particular, elevated spreads on major USD pairs can eat into profits quickly and make certain strategies unviable. This is a meaningful trade-off. A broker can score well on trust, regulation, and usability, yet still frustrate experienced traders with uncompetitive pricing. Capital.com appears to fall into that category for some users, especially those focused on forex markets where tight spreads are often a baseline expectation. Traders considering Capital.com may want to test spreads during live market hours using a demo account before committing real capital, and compare those figures against competitors. Regulation and interface quality are important, but for active forex trading, execution cost is often the deciding factor.

Von der Leyen: EU Made Strategic Mistake Phasing Out Nuclear Energy

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-10/eu-made-a-mistake-in-phasing-out-nuclear-von-der-leyen-says Ursula von der Leyen says the European Union made a strategic mistake by moving away from nuclear energy. In 1990, about one-third of Europe’s electricity came from nuclear power. Today it’s only around 15%. According to her, abandoning a reliable, affordable, and low-emission energy source was a major strategic error for Europe. ⚡️

Independent Thinking in Trading: Why It Matters

One of the most underrated edges in trading and investing is the ability to think for yourself. Markets are filled with noise — analyst forecasts, social media sentiment, and herd-driven narratives that can pull even experienced traders away from sound, independent judgment. Relying solely on the opinions of others, whether that means following popular trade ideas, copying influencer portfolios, or acting on secondhand analysis, introduces a layer of risk that has nothing to do with the market itself. When a trade goes wrong, understanding why requires that you formed the thesis in the first place. Developing your own view does not mean ignoring outside information. It means filtering it critically. Read widely, consult multiple sources, stress-test ideas against your own data, and ask what assumptions are baked into any given call. Consensus trades can work, but they also tend to be the most crowded — and crowded trades unwind painfully. Ultimately, accountability in trading starts with ownership of your decisions. The traders and investors who build lasting track records are typically those who do the work themselves, form conviction through their own research, and are not simply along for someone else's ride.

Squeeze Impulse Oscillator – TradingView Indicator Guide

The Squeeze Impulse Oscillator is a popular custom indicator available on TradingView that combines two well-known volatility concepts — Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels — to identify periods of low volatility compression, commonly called a 'squeeze,' followed by explosive price moves. When Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channels, the market is considered to be in a squeeze state, signaling that energy is building for a potential breakout. Once the bands expand back outside the Keltner Channels, the squeeze is released, and traders watch the momentum histogram to determine whether the resulting move is bullish or bearish. The impulse component of the oscillator draws on momentum histogram values — typically colored to reflect whether momentum is rising or falling — allowing traders to quickly assess the strength and direction of a breakout at a glance. This makes it useful for timing entries and exits across equities, forex, crypto, and futures markets. You can access the Squeeze Impulse Oscillator directly on TradingView at the link shared in the original post. It is widely used by swing traders and day traders alike as a confirmation tool alongside price action and other trend-following indicators.

Absorption-Emission Oscillator: New TradingView Indicator

A new technical indicator called the Absorption-Emission Oscillator is currently in development and will be published on TradingView. The concept draws from physics, specifically the idea that energy can be absorbed or emitted by a system, and applies it to market behavior. In this framework, a market is said to be 'absorbing' energy when it shows signs of compression: long wicks, indecisive candles, tight ranges, and a general lack of directional conviction. These are periods where opposing forces — buyers and sellers — are roughly balanced, and the market appears to be building potential energy. The 'emission' phase follows when that stored tension is released: large-bodied candles, strong directional moves, and clear momentum impulses. The oscillator aims to measure and visualize this cycle, helping traders identify when a market is transitioning from a low-energy, compressed state into a high-energy, trending move. Indicators built on physics-inspired metaphors have a long history in technical analysis, and the absorption-emission concept aligns closely with well-established ideas like volatility compression before breakouts. The full release on TradingView is forthcoming, at which point traders will be able to apply it to their charts and evaluate its practical signal quality.
