About Wyckoff
Wyckoff finds trading ranges, draws them as boxes and reads them in Wyckoff's order: phase B inside the range, phase C at the spring or UTAD, phase D at the break and phase E when price leaves. Two lines in the corner say which phase the current range is in and what comes next.
How ranges are found
- A swing high or low is confirmed when the close comes back 2.5 ATR(14) from the extreme (Swing size). A confirmed swing does not move.
- A range forms when a swing stops at the same level as an earlier swing on the same side. The oldest such swing with every close since inside the range is used, so the box covers the whole range.
- The range must be at least 3 ATR tall and 20 bars long (settings). Its top and bottom stay fixed once the box forms.
- The move before the range decides how it is named before the direction is known: range after a decline, range after an advance, or just range.
Events
- Spring: price breaks below the range low and closes back inside within 2 bars (setting). UTAD is the same at the range high. Once per range, after price has been back to the middle of the range.
- A spring or UTAD on high volume gets no arrow. The indicator waits for the test: a swing that holds the spring or UTAD extreme on lower volume.
- No return within 2 bars is a break. On high volume it is labeled SOS or SOW, otherwise Break up or Break down. A break that comes back inside before going far keeps the same range and can still become the spring or UTAD.
- LPS and LPSY: the first pullback or rally after the break that holds at the broken line.
- Markup and Markdown (phase E): price reaches the target one range height past the broken line, or makes a new high or low after the LPS or LPSY.
Volume
- Tick volume compared with the average of the last 20 bars at the same time of day. High volume is 1.5 times that average by default.
Arrows and lines
- Entry at the close of the signal bar, stop 0.2 ATR beyond the extreme, target at the other side of the range (for LPS and LPSY, the range-height target). An arrow appears only when the target is at least as far as the stop.
- Stop and target lines run from the entry bar to the bar where one of them is hit, or a few bars past the current bar while the setup is open.
- Hover an arrow or a label to see what the event is, with the entry, stop and target prices.
- Choose the signals to show: all, spring, UTAD and test only, or LPS and LPSY only.
Alerts
Popup, sound, push notification and email. Choose arrows only, arrows and range breaks, or arrows, range breaks and new ranges. Checked on closed bars. Off by default.
Notes
- Everything is decided on closed bars. Boxes, events and arrows stay where they appeared. Only the label of a break that failed is removed.
- Forex has no central exchange, so volume here is tick volume from your broker's price feed.
- A charting tool, not financial advice.
Common questions
Which platforms and brokers do your indicators work with?
MetaTrader indicators come with both the MT4 and the MT5 version in one download. TradingView scripts run on TradingView. Each product page lists its platforms.
The MetaTrader versions run in any broker's standard MT4 or MT5 terminal, on any symbol and timeframe. There is no broker lock-in.
Do your indicators repaint?
It depends on the tool, and each product page says how its marks behave. Arrows and marks that are checked at the close of the bar stay where they are once printed.
Tools that find swing highs and lows with ZigZag can only confirm a swing after price has moved away from it, so the newest swing can still move until then. Lines and oscillators update on the bar that is still forming, like any indicator, and are final when that bar closes.
What exactly do I get, and in what format?
