Technical summary
Automatic summaries from oscillators and moving averages. A summary is not a signal.
Oscillators and moving averages
Candlestick patterns, explained simply
Twelve shapes worth knowing. A pattern means more at a key level and when the next candle confirms it.
How the scores work
- Moving averages: a close above the MA is Buy, below is Sell. There are 12 lines (SMA and EMA 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200).
- Indicators: RSI above 55 is Buy, below 45 is Sell, above 70 is Overbought, below 30 is Oversold. MACD above its signal line is Buy. ADX below 20 is Neutral. Overbought and oversold count as Neutral in the score.
- Score = (Buys − Sells) ÷ total. 0.5 or more is Strong buy, from 0.1 is Buy, between −0.1 and 0.1 is Neutral, −0.5 or less is Strong sell. The summary averages both groups.
- Pivot points and candlestick patterns use closed candles only. Indicators include the running candle, so they can change during the day.
- This is a mechanical calculation, not advice. Always use a stop loss and own your trades.

Bollinger Bands: volatility bands, the squeeze and how to trade them
A 20-period average with two standard-deviation bands: measure volatility, catch squeezes and ride the bands in a trend.
What Bollinger Bands are
John Bollinger created the bands in the 1980s. They are a 20-period SMA in the middle with two bands set 2 standard deviations away. When the market gets volatile the bands widen; when it goes quiet they contract.
| On TradingView | Bollinger Bands |
|---|---|
| Length | 20 |
| StdDev multiplier | 2 |
| Companion tools | Bollinger Bands %B, Bollinger BandWidth |
Three main readings
- Squeeze: the bands are the narrowest in months → low volatility often comes before a strong breakout. The direction is unknown in advance, so wait for a close outside the bands.
- Walking the bands: in a strong uptrend price can hug the upper band again and again. Touching the upper band is not a sell signal by itself.
- Mean reversion: in a range, price that tags an outer band and closes back inside tends to drift back to the 20 SMA.
How to trade them
- Squeeze breakout: set an alert when BandWidth is low; enter in the direction of a close outside the bands with rising volume; stop at the 20 SMA or the other side of the squeeze.
- Trend: buy pullbacks to the 20 SMA in an uptrend once price bounces; stop below the lower band.
- Range: sell the upper band and buy the lower band only with a clear rejection candle and a low ADX.
TipJohn Bollinger recommends confirming with a different kind of indicator, such as RSI or a volume indicator.
Watch outSqueezes often start with a fake move the wrong way before the real one. Always use a stop.

Gorila Zones for TradingView and MetaTrader 5
Supply and demand zones, market structure and filtered zone-rejection ideas on one clean chart. A chart-reading aid for your own plan, not a signal service.
Educational analysis only, not a signal or a recommendation to buy or sell. Markets can move against any scenario, and past moves do not predict future results.
Zones from confirmed swings
Each confirmed swing high or low becomes a supply or demand zone, sized by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
Structure at a glance
BOS and CHoCH labels show when price breaks the last confirmed swing high or low.
Filtered ideas
An idea is marked only when a closed candle rejects an unused zone and the trend filter and RSI band agree. Each zone is used once.
No repainting
Ideas and alerts appear on bar close and never move afterwards. Alerts can send a JSON webhook to your own journal.
How it draws
The videos use synthetic data for illustration. They are not real trades or results.
What it is not
It is not a signal service and it does not promise profit. In our own test on real EURUSD hourly data, the marked ideas did no better than random entries with the same stop and target. Zones fail, often around news and in strong trends.
MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor
The same logic as the indicator. It ships in signal-only mode: it draws zones and sends alerts, and it places no orders until you turn trading on yourself.
With trading on: fixed percentage risk per trade, a stop-loss and take-profit on every order, a daily loss limit, a cap on trades per day, and spread and news filters. No martingale and no grid. Licensed to your MT5 account number; we never ask for your login. Test it on a demo account for 4 to 8 weeks first.
Pricing
Prices in USD; taxes may apply. Cancel any time; access runs to the end of the paid period. 7-day refund on your first purchase. Each extra MT5 account: 49 USD per year.
How access works
- Send us your TradingView username (indicator) or MT5 account number (EA) and your country of residence.
- Within 24 hours we add your username to the invite-only script. EA buyers receive the file and a licence key by email.
- A setup guide and an alert and webhook guide are included.
Our own test, in full
On 5,000 hourly EURUSD bars, 29.7% of 300 random-entry runs with the same stop and target did as well as or better than the marked ideas. That is no evidence of an edge. Backtests have limits, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Introducing broker programme
Trading cost rebates
A rebate returns part of the spread or commission you pay on each closed lot. It lowers your costs; it does not turn a losing trade into a winning one.
How it works
- Open an account with a listed broker through Finance Gorila, or ask whether your existing account can be linked under the broker's rules.
- Trade as you normally would. Rebates count on closed lots, whether the trade won or lost.
- The rebate is calculated from your closed lots and paid on the broker's schedule.
Trade your plan, not the rebate
Do not trade more to earn rebates. Extra volume adds far more risk than any rebate can offset.
Brokers and published rebates
Before you open an account, check on the broker's site which licensed entity serves your country.
