hulk2Updated version of The Hulk, trend spotting indicator. All I've done so far is upgrade to Pine script v6, though I plan to add alerts soon as well as tune it up to be a tiny bit more accurate , it had been a few years. Though I still feel like this indicator justifies being amongst the 1000's of other indicators, most of which don't really help traders in my honest opinion, though with just one indicator here any beginner or pro can use it instantly, it's designed to be user-friendly.
I'll be uploading other scripts once I finish upgrading their codes hopefully they don't get hidden, I can answer any questions anyone has, just comment below or DM me, also I think I explained plenty about this indicator imo enough so anyone could use it and also understand how it works. That should be enough considering how accurate the indicator is I can't go into more specifics or else I would just be handing out the code basically.
Creators make original indicators from scratch, I've let lots of my friends use The hulk2 and they all love it, so I'm not really sure what the problem is?
This indicator uses a mixture of oscillators and indicators in order to determine whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
If the trend turns bullish, the moving average-looking line will turn blue after the candle closes. This would be your signal for entry if going long, after the candle closes and the change in signal is confirmed.
If the trend turns bearish, it's the same thing except replace blue with red color etc.
I've seen indicator similar to this one sell for nearly $1,000 however that indicator only worked on tesla, yeah that's right it literally only worked on one stock, or one pair lol.
This indicator will work on any trading pair that exists on tradingview, meaning ten's of thousands of pairs...
Anyways if you want to test the hulk2 indicator out, please DM me and ask for a 7 day trial, and I will give you permission to try it out since I'm keeping it closed source/invite only.
Please DM me instead of commenting below something like "give me access" rudely...
I want to see what others think about the indicator, it is customizable under settings however please do DM me to let me know if you find faults or there's anything you enjoyed about this indicator.
Most of the time it's one of my go-to indicator's I use while trading to help confirm what the trend is, the higher the time frame the better the confirmation etc.

Xcalibur Signals & Alerts [AlgoXcalibur]The advanced signal system forged to empower retail traders with an algorithm edge.
Xcalibur Signals & Alerts consistently delivers real-time trend signals through a sophisticated, multi-layered algorithm—without clutter or unnecessary complexity. The system combines institutional-grade trend-following logic with breakout detection, flat-market filtration, false signal failsafes, take profit suggestions, live alerts, and more—all in a visually simple, easy-to-use indicator built for all assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
🧠 Algorithm Logic
Xcalibur Signals & Alerts operates on a systematic framework that evaluates multiple technical dimensions in harmony—directional alignment, structural dynamics, relative strength, volume bias, momentum confirmation, breakout detection, Fibonacci calculations, and more. Rather than reacting to isolated triggers, it filters every opportunity through a multi-layered confirmation engine. It doesn’t just react to every move—it evaluates them. This cohesive approach ensures that each signal results from aligned conditions—not arbitrary thresholds. By combining structural awareness with adaptive filtering, Xcalibur maintains clarity and consistency across a wide range of market environments—delivering actionable signals without unnecessary noise or lag.
⚙️ User-Adjustbale Features
• Sensitivity Modes: Whether you’re a scalper, trend-follower, or swing trader: easily choose from the 5 pre-tuned sensitivity settings based on trading style, market volatility, and desired timeframe.
• Extended Trend Pullback Allowance: This filter uses institutional logic to deliberately filter out temporary pullbacks during extended trends to avoid signals against the prevailing market direction.
• False Signal Failsafe: Automatically neutralizes the current trend signal based on two selectable logic types:
Simple – Instantly deactivates the current trend signal if price breaks below the signal candle’s low (for uptrends) or above its high (for downtrends).
Advanced – Requires both a price break and opposing momentum to confirm the invalidation.
When triggered, the system plots a white “X”, turns candles gray, deactivates background coloring, sends an alert (if enabled), and enters standby mode until a new valid trend is detected.
*This feature does not guarantee break-even outcomes or reduced risk.
• Target Projection: Uses institutional logic to predict high-probability reaction zones where a potential reversal or breakout is likely. If the price hits the yellow target line, a yellow caution flag appears as a reminder to be vigilant and evaluate your take-profit strategy in the event of a reversal.
• Trailing Stop: User selected percentage-based risk inputs automatically calculates and visually plots a tailored trailing stop / trailing take-profit.
• Multi-Timeframe Monitor: Displays a practical table that simultaneously references and displays trend direction across 1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D.
• Alert System: Mobile and/or desktop alerts for new trend signals, failsafe triggers, and morning greetings with auto re-armed notification. (Limited to 9am -4pm Eastern Time)
• Custom Candle color: Choose between two candle color logic - Signal Parameters or Directional Momentum.
Signal Parameters - Candle color reflects alignment between the current market conditions and the active trend signal: Green/Red candles signal confirm agreement between trending direction and trend signal logic.
White candles warn trend is moving against the current signal logic—a potential sign of weakening trend and pending reversal.
Directional Momentum - Candle color reflects bullish or bearish momentum: Green/Red candles indicate bullish/bearish momentum. White candles reveal weak momentum or loss of direction—often appearing during stalls, hesitation, or early reversal phases.
• SuperCandles: highlights strong momentum using a stunning and easy recognizable glow effect.
• Custom Background Color: Displays a subtle background tint based on the most recent trend signal—enhancing situational awareness.
Each input setting has a tooltip to explain the features while using the indicator.
⚔️ Not Just Another Signal Tool
Xcalibur Signals & Alerts is designed from the ground up to empower retail traders with access to a cohesive, structured algorithmic system—one that reflects the kind of awareness, discipline, and market adaptability typically only seen in institutional algorithms.
This is not an oversensitive or under-responsive signal indicator that is limited to one specific type of market condition or trader. It does not utilize hyperactive momentum triggers, rely on lagging crossover logic, or need infinitely adjustable sensitivity settings. Instead of cluttered visuals to interpret, this indicator delivers simple, easy-to-use signals—prioritizing clarity and usability without compromising on depth and sophistication.
Whether the market is trending, breaking out, or moving sideways, Xcalibur adapts—prioritizing trend stability, directional integrity, and visual clarity from one signal to the next.

Futures Margin Lookup TableThis script applies a table to the upper right corner of the screen, which provides the intraday and overnight margin requirements of the currently selected symbol.
In this indicator the user must provide the broker data in the form of specifically formatted text blocks. The data for which should be found on the broker website.
The purpose for it's creation is due to the non-standard way each individual broker may price their margins and lack of information within TradingView when connected to some (maybe all) brokers, including when paper trading, as the flat percentage rule is not accurate.
An example of information for NinjaTrader could look like this
MES;Micro S&P;$50;$2406
ES;E-Mini S&P;$500;$24,053
GC;Gold;$500;$16500
NQ;E-Mini Nasdaq;$1,000;$34,810
FDAX;Dax Index;€2,000;€44,311
Each symbol begins a new line, and the values on that line are separated by semicolons (;)
Each line consists of the following...
SYMBOL : Search string used to match to the beginning of the current chart symbol.
NAME: Human readable name
INTRA: Intraday trading margin requirement per contract
OVERNIGHT: Overnight trading margin requirement per contract
The script simply finds a matching line within your provided information using the current chart symbol.
So for example the continuous chart for NQ1! would match to the user specified line starting with NQ... as would the individual contract dates such as NQM2025, NQK2025, etc.
NOTES:
There is a possibility that symbols with similar starting characters could match.
If this is the case put the longer symbol higher in the list.
There is also a line / character limit to the text input fields within pinescript
Ensure the text you paste into them is not truncated.
If so there are 3 input fields for just this purpose.
Find the last complete line and continue the remaining symbol lines on the subsequent inputs.

SwingTrade VWAP Strategy[TiamatCrypto]V1.1This Pine Script® code creates a trading strategy called "SwingTrade VWAP Strategy V1.1." This strategy incorporates various trading tools, such as VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), ADX (Average Directional Index), and volume signals. Below is an explanation of the components and logic within the script:
### Overview of Features
- **VWAP:** A volume-weighted moving average that assesses price trends relative to the VWAP level.
- **ADX:** A trend strength indicator that helps confirm the strength of bullish or bearish trends.
- **Volume Analysis:** Leverages volume data to gauge momentum and identify volume-weighted buy/sell conditions.
- **Dynamic Entry/Exit Signals:** Combines the above indicators to produce actionable buy/sell or exit signals.
- **Customizable Inputs:** Inputs for tuning parameters like VWAP period, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity.
---
### **Code Breakdown**
#### **Input Parameters**
The script begins by defining several user-configurable variables under groups. These include indicators' on/off switches (`showVWAP`, `enableADX`, `enableVolume`) and input parameters for VWAP, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity:
- **VWAP Period and Threshold:** Controls sensitivity for VWAP signal generation.
- **ADX Settings:** Allows users to configure the ADX period and strength threshold.
- **Volume Ratio:** Detects bullish/bearish conditions based on relative volume patterns.
---
#### **VWAP Calculation**
The script calculates VWAP using the formula:
\
Where `P` is the typical price (`(high + low + close)/3`) and `V` is the volume.
- It resets cumulative values (`sumPV` and `sumV`) at the start of each day.
- Delta percentage (`deltaPercent`) is calculated as the percentage difference between the close price and the VWAP.
---
#### **Indicators and Signals**
1. **VWAP Trend Signals:**
- Identifies bullish/bearish conditions based on price movement (`aboveVWAP`, `belowVWAP`) and whether the price is crossing the VWAP level (`crossingUp`, `crossingDown`).
- Also detects rising/falling delta changes based on the VWAP threshold.
2. **ADX Calculation:**
- Calculates the directional movement (`PlusDM`, `MinusDM`) and smoothed values for `PlusDI`, `MinusDI`, and `ADX`.
- Confirms strong bullish/bearish trends when ADX crosses the defined threshold.
3. **Volume-Based Signals:**
- Evaluates the ratio of bullish volume (when `close > VWAP`) to bearish volume (when `close < VWAP`) over a specified lookback period.
---
#### **Trade Signals**
The buy and sell signals are determined by combining conditions from the VWAP, ADX, and volume signals:
- **Buy Signal:** Triggered when price upward crossover VWAP, delta rises above the threshold, ADX indicates a strong bullish trend, and volume confirms bullish momentum.
- **Sell Signal:** Triggered under inverse conditions.
- Additionally, exit conditions (`exitLong` and `exitShort`) are based on VWAP crossovers combined with the reversal of delta values.
---
#### **Plotting and Display**
The strategy plots VWAP on the chart and adds signal markers for:
- **Buy/Long Entry:** Green triangle below bars.
- **Sell/Short Entry:** Red triangle above bars.
- **Exit Signals:** Lime or orange "X" shapes for exits from long/short positions.
- Additionally, optional text labels are displayed to indicate the type of signal.
---
#### **Trading Logic**
The script's trading logic executes as follows:
- **Entries:**
- Executes long trades when the `buySignal` condition is true.
- Executes short trades when the `sellSignal` condition is true.
- **Exits:**
- Closes long positions upon `exitLong` conditions.
- Closes short positions upon `exitShort` conditions.
- The strategy calculates profits and visualizes the trade entry, exit, and running profit within the chart.
---
#### **Alerts**
Alerts are set up to notify traders via custom signals for buy and sell trades.
---
### **Use Case**
This script is suitable for day traders, swing traders, or algorithmic traders who rely on confluence signals from VWAP, ADX, and volume momentum. Its modular structure (e.g., the ability to enable/disable specific indicators) makes it highly customizable for various trading styles and financial instruments.
#### **Customizability**
- Adjust VWAP, ADX, and volume sensitivity levels to fit unique market conditions or asset classes.
- Turn off specific criteria to focus only on VWAP or ADX signals if desired.
#### **Caution**
As with all trading strategies, this script should be used for backtesting and analysis before live implementation. It's essential to validate its performance on historical data while considering factors like slippage and transaction costs.
ChopFlow ATR Scalp StrategyA lean, high-velocity scalp framework for NQ and other futures that blends trend clarity, volume confirmation, and adaptive exits to give you precise, actionable signals—no cluttered bands or lagging indicators.
⸻
🔍 Overview
This strategy locks onto rapid intraday moves by:
• Filtering for directional momentum with the Choppiness Index (CI)
• Confirming conviction via On-Balance Volume (OBV) against its moving average
• Automatically sizing stops and targets with a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR)
It’s designed for scalp traders who need clean, timely entries without wading through choppy noise.
⸻
⚙️ Key Features & Inputs
1. ATR Length & Multiplier
• Controls exit distances based on current volatility.
2. Choppiness Length & Threshold
• Measures trend strength; only fires when the market isn’t “stuck in the mud.”
3. OBV SMA Length
• Smoothes volume flow to confirm genuine buying or selling pressure.
4. Custom Session Hours
• Avoid overnight gaps or low-liquidity periods.
All inputs are exposed for rapid tuning to your preferred scalp cadence.
🚀 How It Works
1. Long Entry triggers when:
• CI < threshold (strong trend)
• OBV > its SMA (positive volume flow)
• You’re within the defined session
2. Short Entry mirrors the above (CI < threshold, OBV < SMA)
3. Exit uses ATR × multiplier for both stop-loss and take-profit
⸻
🎯 Usage Tips
• Start with defaults (ATR 14, multiplier 1.5; CI 14, threshold 60; OBV SMA 10).
• Monitor signal frequency, then tighten/loosen CI or OBV look-back as needed.
• Pair with a fast MA crossover or price-action trigger if you want even sharper timing.
• Backtest across different sessions (early open vs. power hours) to find your edge.
⸻
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is provided “as-is” for educational and research purposes. Always paper-trade any new setup extensively before deploying live capital, and adjust risk parameters to your personal tolerance.
⸻
Elevate your scalp game with ChopFlow ATR—where trend, volume, and volatility converge for clear, confident entries. Happy scalping!
First Presented Fair Value Gap [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "First Presented Fair Value Gap" (FPFVG) by Taking Prophets is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It automatically detects and highlights the first valid Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM New York time — one of the most critical windows in ICT-based trading frameworks.
It also plots the Opening Range Equilibrium (the average of the previous day's 4:14 PM close and today's 9:30 AM open) — a key ICT reference point for premium/discount analysis.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This script is highly specialized for early session trading and offers:
Automatic Detection: Finds the first Fair Value Gap after the 9:30 AM NYSE open.
Clear Visualization: Highlights the FVG zone and labels it with optional time stamps.
Equilibrium Line: Plots the Opening Range Equilibrium for instant premium/discount context.
Time-Sensitive Logic: Limits detection to the most volatile early session (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM).
Extension Options: You can extend both the FVG box and Equilibrium line out to 3:45 PM (end of major session liquidity).
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Pre-Market Setup:
Captures the previous day's 4:14 PM close.
Captures today's 9:30 AM open.
Calculates the Equilibrium (midpoint between the two).
After 9:30 AM (New York Time):
Monitors each 1-minute candle for the creation of a Fair Value Gap:
Bullish FVG: Low of the current candle is above the high two candles ago.
Bearish FVG: High of the current candle is below the low two candles ago.
The first valid gap is boxed and optionally labeled.
Post-Detection Management:
The FVG box and label extend forward in time until 3:45 PM (or the current time, based on settings).
If enabled, the Equilibrium line and label also extend to help with premium/discount analysis.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Wait for market open (9:30 AM New York time).
Step 2: Watch for the first presented FVG on the 1-minute chart.
Step 3: Use the FPFVG zone to guide entries (retracements, rejections, or breaks).
Step 4: Use the Opening Range Equilibrium to determine premium vs. discount conditions:
Price above Equilibrium = Premium market.
Price below Equilibrium = Discount market.
Best Application:
In combination with ICT Killzones, especially during the London or New York Open.
When framing intraday bias and identifying optimal trade locations based on liquidity theory.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps: Price imbalances where liquidity is likely inefficient and future rebalancing can occur.
Opening Range Equilibrium: Key ICT price anchor used to separate premium and discount conditions post-open.
Time-Gated Setup: Limits focus to early session price action, aligning with inner circle trader timing models.
🎨 Customization Options:
FVG color, label visibility, and label size.
Opening Range Equilibrium line visibility and label styling.
Extend lines and boxes to 3:45 PM automatically for full session tracking.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers or day traders trading the New York session open.
Traders who want to frame early session bias and liquidity traps effectively.

The indicator will work on different indices other than NQ, ES and YM, but some of the features might not work correctly due to what is considered a trading day.
HTF Anchored FanSimilar to an Anchored VWAP, this lets you click a bar on an Daily, Weekly, or Monthly chart to add an "Anchored Fan" which displays lines at up to 6 levels above and below the chosen Anchor Point. Useful to measure the retracement during swing moves.
You can reposition the fan by either hovering over the anchor or by clicking the name of the study to "activate" it, and then dragging. You can also change the Anchor Point in Settings.
By default the anchor uses the bar Close, but you can change this manually in settings OR you can use the fancy "Auto high/low" mode which is handy if you are mainly dropping the fan on local swing highs and lows.
The default line measures were chosen for ES (Futures) but the study should be usable with nearly anything as long as you adjust the settings to something appropriate for the ticker. If you want to use this on NQ, for example, it would be reasonable to multiple each of these settings by 3.5 or so.
NOTE: If the fan is way off the left side of the chart it's generally easiest to use Settings to move it back to close to "now".

Intraday Anchored FanSimilar to an Anchored VWAP, this lets you click a bar on an Intraday chart to add an "Anchored Fan" which displays lines at up to 6 levels above and below the chosen Anchor Point. Useful to measure the retracement during swing moves.
You can reposition the fan by either hovering over the anchor or by clicking the name of the study to "activate" it, and then dragging. You can also change the Anchor Point in Settings.
By default the anchor uses the bar Close, but you can change this manually in settings OR you can use the fancy "Auto high/low" mode which is handy if you are mainly dropping the fan on local swing highs and lows.
The default line measures were chosen for ES (Futures) but the study should be usable with nearly anything as long as you adjust the settings to something appropriate for the ticker. If you want to use this on NQ, for example, it would be reasonable to multiple each of these settings by 3.5 or so.
NOTE: If the fan is off the left side of the chart, one way to see the Anchor handle again easily is to switch to a higher timeframe; for example if you are on the 5min maybe use the 15min or hourly to find the handle -- if it is WAY off the left side (for example if you let many days pass without advancing it) it's generally easiest to use Settings to move it back to "now".

Futures Open/High/Low TablesAdds (up to) 3 tables to a chart, displaying Open/High/Low data for today (RTH and extended hours), yesterday, and the current week / month -- to help with intraday analysis of a futures ticker.
The tables only appear on intraday charts (5min, 30min, etc). On a Daily/Weekly/etc chart they are not calculated or shown.
In addition to Open/High/Low, the "Current" table in the top-right shows a live measurement of # of points from the open, the RTH open, and the highs/lows.
Lastly, the 9:30am ET open and the 4pm RTH close are by default marked with a shaded background (on intraday charts) for easy visual reference, and also to help with adjusting the session time to accommodate time zone issues if they occur.
Tested on ES in Eastern Time Zone, but should work on any futures instrument and any time zone by adjusting the Session Time setting.
Celestial Pair Spread Hello friends, after a very long time!
Today, I tried to put into code an idea that came to my mind spontaneously and suddenly.
Note :
This script is experimental and improvable.
I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
TIMEFRAME : 1D (Daily Bars)
CELESTIAL SPREAD
The spread moves in a very limited area and is consistent within itself, especially on days far from the end of the contract.
That's why there is a reassuring sky atmosphere. That's why this name was given completely improvised.
Basic logic of the script
We enter the name of the CME Futures contract we want to enter:
Ex : CL1! , ES1! , ZC1! , NQ1!
The script creates us a pair trade parity divided into secondary contracts.
Example : ES1!/ES2!
What is pair trading?
I will explain briefly here.
For users who are wondering:
www.investopedia.com
Let's get back to our topic.
Now we have created a parity that does not actually exist.
This parity is the manifestation of the relative movements of two contracts.
When the parity rises, ES1! increased,ES2! has fallen.
In the opposite case, We can say: ES1! Contract has been dropped ES2! has increased.
Pair trading is generally a trade that needs to be kept in mind from time to time.
It is a method preferred by professionals who can process very quickly.
Market risk is minimal, but since 2 contracts are purchased, more money is paid and very low percentage profits are made.
It is very expensive to do pair trading, especially with oil and its derivatives and interest security derivatives.
The contract we are considering has micros. (small-item contracts tied to the same value)
So when we switch to our broker MES1!/MES2! We will trade.
For all CME futures :
www.cmegroup.com
Anyway, let's continue:
The script created the parity showing its relationship with the next contract and plotted it as bars.
Celestial bands are just like Bollinger bands, but they consist of 3 bands based on percentage changes rather than standard deviation.
The middle band is obtained from moving averages.
The upper and lower bands are the middle band subjected to a threshold value.
The threshold value can be changed.
0.15 percent was charged for this script.
CAUTION :
As can be seen in the example below;
The most important thing is not to make any transactions when the contract switch dates are approaching.
Therefore, it is recommended to use it just below the main chart.
The blue bars in the parity are
Values that outside the upper and lower threshold values are colored blue.
For this condition
Alerts has been added.
Don't forget to add alert and edit.
MAIN PURPOSE
It is aimed to start a pair trade when such conditions come and to quickly close the trades when the parity basis reaches the value.
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
Other issues are broker related issues.
Difference between initial margins and maintanence margins of contracts (between 1! and 2!)
It shouldn't be too high.
The commission should not be too high.
Leverage must be high because the profit percentage is very low.
To calculate leverage you must divide your contract size by the relevant margin requirement.
Sample margin requirement table:
www.interactivebrokers.com
RISKS
It is an experimental and intellectual script,
the risk of contract price differences (maybe it will not leave a profit except for very extreme values)
I remind you of the quickness risk that comes from a two-legged trade.
Alerts definitely synchronized with an audible alert sent to a smartphone as an e-mail notification and displayed on the locked screen for quick action.
Best regards!
Forward Curve Visualization ToolProvide the spot symbol and the futures product root, and the script automatically scans all relevant contracts for you—no more tedious manual searches. The result is a clean, intuitive chart showing the live forward curve in real time.
It also detects contango or backwardation conditions (based on spot < F1 < F2 < F3).
Future Features:
Plot historical snapshots of the curve (1 day, 1 week, or 1 month ago) to understand market trends over time.
Display additional metrics such as annualized basis, cost of carry (CoC), and even volume or open interest for deeper insights.
If you trade futures and watch the forward curve, this script will give you the actionable data you need and get more ideas or features you’d like to see. Let’s build them together!
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting.
This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.
Highest Volume FuturesScript tracks the volume of futures contracts which are not expired for the current and next year. Provides a label at the real-time bar and when a different contract has higher volume in the last bar of the timeframe input as long as it is different from the current ticker. It should display on continuous and lower volume contract charts.
Intended to be used with a higher timeframe input.
Currently supports ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, M2K, YM, MYM, BTC, MBT, CL, MCL, GC, MGC, E7 and J7. If you'd like to add your own, then include the syminfo.root of your ticker and the appropriate month codes for that contract in the validMonthCodes switch list.
FXC NQ Opening Range Breakout Strategy V2.4Mechanical Strategy that trades breakouts on NQ futures on the 15min timeframe during the NYSE session. It's designed to manage Apex and Top Step accounts with the lowest risk possible.
Risk Disclaimer:
Past results as well as strategy tester reports do not indicate future performance. Guarantees do not exist in trading. By using this strategy you risk losing all your money.
Important:
It only trades on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and takes usually only 1 trade per trading day.
It works on the 15min timeframe only.
The settings are optimised already for NQ but feel free to change them.
How it works:
Every selected trading day it measures the range of the first 15min candle after the NYSE open. As soon as price closes above on the 15min timeframe, it will trade the breakout targeting a set risk to reward ratio. SL on the opposite side of the range. It will trail the SL after a set amount of points and uses a buffer of the set amount of points to trail it.
Settings:
Opening Range Time : This is the time of the day in hours and minutes when the strategy starts looking for trades. It's in the EST/ NY Timezone and set to 9:30-09:45 by default
because that's the NYSE open.
Session Time : This is the time of the day in hours and minutes until the strategy trades. It's in the EST/ NY Timezone and set to 09:45-14:45 by default.
because that's what gave the best results in backtesting. Open trades will get closed automatically once the end of the session is reached. No matter if win or loss. This is just to prevent holding positions over night.
Session Border This setting is to select the border color in which the session box will be plotted.
Opening Range Box This setting is to select the fill color of the opening range box.
Opening Range Border This setting is to select the border color of the session box.
Trade Timeframe This setting determines on which timeframe candle has to close outside the opening range box in order to take a trade. It's set to 15min by default because this is what worked by far the best in backtests and live trading.
Stop Loss Buffer in Points: This is simply the buffer in points that is added to the SL for safety reasons. If you have it on 0, the SL will be at the exact price of the opposite side of the range. By default it's set to 0 pips because this is what delivered the best results in backtests.
Profit Target Factor: This is simply the total SL size in points multiplied by x.
Example: If you put 2, you get a 1:2 Risk to Reward Ratio. By Default it's set to 4 because this gave the best results in backtests, because trades always get closed either by trailing SL or because the end of the session is reached.
Use Trailing Stop Loss: This setting is to enable/ disable the trailing stop loss. It's enabled by default because this is a fundamental part of the strategy.
Trailing Stop Buffer: This setting determines after how many points in profit the trailing SL will be activated.
Risk Type: You can chose either between Fixed USD Amount, Risk per Trade in % or Fixed Contract Size. By default it's set to fixed contract size.
Risk Amount (USD or Contracts): This setting is to set how many USD or how many contracts you want to risk per trade. Make sure to check which risk type you have selected before you chose the risk amount.
Use Limit Orders If enabled, the strategy will place a pending order x points from the current price, instead of a market order. Limit orders are enabled by default for a better performance. Important: It doesn't actually place a limit order. The strategy will just wait for a pullback and then enter with a market order. It's more like a hidden limit order.
Limit Order Distance (points): If you have limit orders enabled, this setting determines how many points from the current price the limit order will be placed.
Trading Days: These checkboxes are to select on which week days the strategy has to trade. Thursday is disabled by default because backtests have shown that Thursday is the least profitable day
Backtest Settings:
For the backtest the commissions ere set to 0.35 USD per mini contract which is the highest amount Tradeovate charges. Margin was not accounted for because typically on Apex accounts you can use way more contracts than you need for the extremely low max drawdown. Margin would be important on personal accounts but even there typically it's not an issue at all especially because this strategy runs on the 15min timeframe so it won't use a lot of contracts anyways.
What makes it unique:
This script is unique because it's designed to be used on Apex and Top Step accounts with extremely strict drawdown rules.
The strategy is optimised to be traded with a fixed contract size instead of using % risk. The reason for that is that the drawdown rules of these Futures Prop Accounts are very strict and the fact that the smallest trade-able contract size is 1.
Why the source code is hidden:
The source code is hidden because I invested a lot of time and money into developing this strategy and optimising it with paid 3rd party software. Also since I use it myself on my Apex accounts and prop firms don't allow copy trading I don't want it to be used by too many traders.
Futures Risk CalculatorFutures Risk Calculator Script - Description
The Futures Risk Calculator (FRC) is a comprehensive tool designed to help traders effectively manage risk when trading futures contracts. This script allows users to calculate risk/reward ratios directly on the chart by specifying their entry price and stop loss. It's an ideal tool for futures traders who want to quantify their potential losses and gains with precision, based on their trading account size and the number of contracts they trade.
What the Script Does:
1. Risk and Reward Calculation:
The script calculates your total risk in dollars and as a percentage of your account size based on the entry and stop-loss prices you input.
It also calculates two key levels where potential reward (Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2) can be expected, helping you assess the reward-to-risk ratio for any trade.
2. Customizable Settings:
You can specify the size of your trading account (available $ for Futures trading) and the number of futures contracts you're trading. This allows for tailored risk management that reflects your exact trading conditions.
3. Live Chart Integration:
You add the script to your chart after opening a futures chart in TradingView. Simply click on the chart to set your Entry Price and Stop Loss. The script will instantly calculate and display the risk and reward levels based on the points you set.
Adjusting the entry and stop-loss points later is just as easy: drag and drop the levels directly on the chart, and the risk and reward calculations update automatically.
4. Futures Contract Support:
The script is pre-configured with a list of popular futures symbols (like ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more). If your preferred futures contract isn’t in the list, you can easily add it by modifying the script.
The script uses each symbol’s point value to ensure precise risk calculations, providing you with an accurate dollar risk and potential reward based on the specific contract you're trading.
How to Use the Script:
1. Apply the Script to a Futures Chart:
Open a futures contract chart in TradingView.
Add the Futures Risk Calculator (FRC) script as an indicator.
2. Set Entry and Stop Loss:
Upon applying the script, it will prompt you to select your entry price by clicking the chart where you plan to enter the market.
Next, click on the chart to set your stop-loss level.
The script will then calculate your total risk in dollars and as a percentage of your account size.
3. View Risk, Reward, and (Take Profit):
You can immediately see visual lines representing your entry, stop loss, and the calculated reward-to-risk ratio levels (Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2).
If you want to adjust the entry or stop loss after plotting them, simply move the points on
the chart, and the script will recalculate everything for you.
4. Configure Account and Contracts:
In the script settings, you can enter your account size and adjust the number of contracts you are trading. These inputs allow the script to calculate risk in monetary terms and as a percentage, making it easier to manage your risk effectively.
5. Understand the Information in the Table:
Once you apply the script, a table will appear in the top-right corner of your chart, providing you with key information about your futures contract and the trade setup. Here's what each field represents:
Account Size: Displays your total account value, which you can set in the script's settings.
Future: Shows the selected futures symbol, along with key details such as its tick size and point value. This gives you a clear understanding of how much one point or tick is worth in dollar terms.
Entry Price: The exact price at which you plan to enter the trade, displayed in green.
Stop Loss Price: The price level where you plan to exit the trade if the market moves against you, shown in red.
Contracts: The number of futures contracts you are trading, which you can adjust in the settings.
Risk: Highlighted in orange, this field shows your total risk in dollars, as well as the percentage risk based on your account size. This is a crucial value to help you stay within your risk tolerance and manage your trades effectively.
QQQ and SPY Price Levels [MW]Introduction:
Don’t let SPY and QQQ resistance levels hurt your futures trading anymore. The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator automagically provides easily accessible QQQ price levels for NASDAQ-related charts such as QQQ, /NQ and /MNQ futures, and leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ and SQQQ as well as for SPY price levels for S&P 500-related charts such as SPY, /ES and /MES futures, SPX, and leveraged ETFs such as UPRO and SPXU. If you’ve ever traded futures, or anything QQQ- or SPY-related and wanted to know at what price would the corresponding asset reach a key whole number level of QQQ or SPY, like 400, 440, 445, or even 447.50, this tool is for you. Key 10x, 5x, and even 2.5x multiples of QQQ and SPY can act as support or resistance for other related-assets. Until now, there hasn’t been an indicator that can serve as an easy visual cue to know exactly when that is about to happen across assets.
This indicator is a fork of the original SPY Price Levels indicator, which only considered SPY-related assets.
Settings:
QQQ/SPY 2.5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 2.5 on QQQ
QQQ/SPY 5x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 5 on QQQ
QQQ/SPY 10x: Show closest levels above and below that are multiples of 10 on QQQ
Show QQQ/SPY Price Label: Show the current QQQ/SPY price
Extend lines to the left: Extend label lines for each price level to the beginning of the chart
Calculations:
This indicator defines the ratio between the price of QQQ/SPY and another NASDAQ/S&P-related asset and uses that multiplier once the user-defined price increments are defined. For example, if /MNQ is at 19000 and QQQ is at 465, then the ratio would be 40.8.
The incremental QQQ levels that are above and below the QQQ price are calculated using the following equations:
qqqLevelUp = _multiplier * math.ceil(_qqqClose / _multiplier)
qqqLevelDown = _multiplier * math.floor(_qqqClose / _multiplier)
The conversion ratio is then multiplied by that amount to get the final estimated corresponding price using the calculation:
levelUp := _conversion * qqqLevelUp
levelDown := _conversion * qqqLevelDown
For leveraged assets, the conversion must be used on the difference between the current QQQ price and the incremental upper and lower levels.
For example, the calculation for the next level up looks like the following:
levelUpDelta := math.abs(_qqqClose - qqqLevelUp)
levelUp := close + _conversion * (levelUpDelta * _leverage)
This logic is identical for SPY-related assets.
How to Use:
The QQQ and SPY Price Levels indicator aims to be as unobtrusive as possible. The default view shows 3 labels and 2 lines that are all aligned to the right of the main chart, so that it interferes as little as possible with any other indicators. It can be added to any /NQ or /MNQ futures chart, SQQQ, TQQQ, and, of course, QQQ as well as any /ES /MES futures chart, SPXU, UPRO, SPX, and of course SPY. The most immediate price levels for each multiplier appears above and below the current price along with the price of QQQ/SPY.
For example, MNQU2024 is currently at 19594. By looking at the indicator the next QQQ increment below is at 475, or 19556 on the MNQU2024 chart. This potential support is marked with a green label that shows both prices. The next increment above is at QQQ 477.50, or 19659 on the MESU2024 chart. And the QQQ price itself, is also shown (and can be removed) at 475.92.
QQQ and SPY price increments of 2.5, 5, and 10 tend to consistently act at the very least as emotional support and resistance levels. Weak, or weakening volume and/or momentum when these levels are hit can trigger a strong rejection, and can sometimes precipitate lengthy consolidation periods at those levels. Watching an NASDAQ- and S&P 500-related asset come to a halt, fall off a cliff, or react in some other unintuitive way could very well be the result of a QQQ/SPY level being reached. Even though many of us know that this relationship exists, it’s easy to forget. So, this indicator helps to ensure that its users keep that relationship front and center.
By extending the lines into the past on QQQ/SPY and their related assets, you can see what reactions happened at these key levels.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations:
The calculations used only provide an estimated relationship or a close approximation, and are not exact.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
