Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM)The Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM) is a systematic trading approach grounded in momentum and volatility analysis, designed to exploit behavioral inefficiencies in the equity markets. It focuses on the NYSE Down Ticks, a metric reflecting the cumulative number of stocks trading at a lower price than their previous trade. As a proxy for market sentiment and selling pressure, this indicator is particularly useful in identifying shifts in investor behavior during periods of heightened uncertainty or volatility (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).
Theoretical Basis
The DTOM builds on established principles of momentum and mean reversion in financial markets. Momentum strategies, which seek to capitalize on the persistence of price trends, have been shown to deliver significant returns in various asset classes (Carhart, 1997). However, these strategies are also susceptible to periods of drawdown due to sudden reversals. By incorporating volatility as a dynamic component, DTOM adapts to changing market conditions, addressing one of the primary challenges of traditional momentum models (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Sentiment and Volatility as Core Drivers
The NYSE Down Ticks serve as a proxy for short-term negative sentiment. Sudden increases in Down Ticks often signal panic-driven selling, creating potential opportunities for mean reversion. Behavioral finance studies suggest that investor overreaction to negative news can lead to temporary mispricings, which systematic strategies can exploit (De Bondt & Thaler, 1985). By incorporating a rate-of-change (ROC) oscillator into the model, DTOM tracks the momentum of Down Ticks over a specified lookback period, identifying periods of extreme sentiment.
In addition, the strategy dynamically adjusts entry and exit thresholds based on recent volatility. Research indicates that incorporating volatility into momentum strategies can enhance risk-adjusted returns by improving adaptability to market conditions (Moskowitz, Ooi, & Pedersen, 2012). DTOM uses standard deviations of the ROC as a measure of volatility, allowing thresholds to contract during calm markets and expand during turbulent ones. This approach helps mitigate false signals and aligns with findings that volatility scaling can improve strategy robustness (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Practical Implications
The DTOM framework is particularly well-suited for systematic traders seeking to exploit behavioral inefficiencies while maintaining adaptability to varying market environments. By leveraging sentiment metrics such as the NYSE Down Ticks and combining them with a volatility-adjusted momentum oscillator, the strategy addresses key limitations of traditional trend-following models, such as their lagging nature and susceptibility to reversals in volatile conditions.

BuyTheDips Trade on Trend and Fixed TP/SL
This strategy is designed to trade in the direction of the trend using exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers as signals while employing fixed percentages for take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) to manage risk and reward. It is suitable for both scalping and swing trading on any timeframe, with its default settings optimized for short-term price movements.
How It Works
EMA Crossovers:
The strategy uses two EMAs: a fast EMA (shorter period) and a slow EMA (longer period).
A buy signal is triggered when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, indicating a potential bullish trend.
A sell signal is triggered when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, signaling a bearish trend.
Trend Filtering:
To improve signal reliability, the strategy only takes trades in the direction of the overall trend:
Long trades are executed only when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA (bullish trend).
Short trades are executed only when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA (bearish trend).
This filtering ensures trades are aligned with the prevailing market direction, reducing false signals.
Risk Management (Fixed TP/SL):
The strategy uses fixed percentages for take profit and stop loss:
Take Profit: A percentage above the entry price for long trades (or below for short trades).
Stop Loss: A percentage below the entry price for long trades (or above for short trades).
These percentages can be customized to balance risk and reward according to your trading style.
For example:
If the take profit is set to 2% and the stop loss to 1%, the strategy operates with a 2:1 risk-reward ratio. BINANCE:BTCUSDT
Bearish Wick Reversal█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Bearish Wick Reversal Strategy" identifies potential bullish reversals following significant bearish price rejection (long lower wicks). This counter-trend approach enters long positions when bearish candles show exaggerated downside wicks relative to closing prices, then exits on bullish confirmation signals. Includes optional EMA trend filtering for improved reliability.
█ What is a Bearish Wick?
A price rejection pattern where:
Bearish candle (close < open) forms with extended lower wick
Wick represents failed selloff: Low drops significantly below close
Measured as: (Low - Close)/Close × 100 (Negative percentage indicates downward extension)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Bearish candle forms with close < open
Lower wick exceeds user-defined threshold (Default: -1% of close price)
The signal occurs within the specified time window
If enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: Volatile instruments with frequent price rejections

Sunil 2 Bar Breakout StrategyDetailed Explanation of the Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy
Introduction
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is a simple yet effective price-action-based approach designed to identify breakout opportunities in financial markets. This strategy analyzes the movement of the last three candles to detect momentum and initiates trades in the direction of the breakout. It is equipped with a built-in stop-loss mechanism to protect capital, making it suitable for traders looking for a structured and disciplined trading system.
The strategy works well across different timeframes and asset classes, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Its versatility makes it ideal for both intraday and swing trading.
Core Concept
The strategy revolves around two primary conditions: breakout identification and risk management.
Breakout Identification:
Long Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bullish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is higher than the previous candle's closing price.
The high of the previous candle is greater than the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Trade Setup: The strategy identifies bearish breakouts when:
The current candle's closing price is lower than the previous candle's closing price.
The low of the previous candle is lower than the lows of the two candles before it.
Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: For each trade, a stop-loss is automatically set:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set to the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set to the high of the previous candle.
This ensures that losses are minimized if the breakout fails.
Exit Logic:
The trade is closed automatically when the stop-loss is hit.
This approach maintains discipline and prevents emotional trading.
Strategy Workflow
Entry Criteria:
Long Entry: A long trade is triggered when:
The current close is greater than the previous close.
The high of the previous candle exceeds the highs of the two candles before it.
Short Entry: A short trade is triggered when:
The current close is less than the previous close.
The low of the previous candle is below the lows of the two candles before it.
Stop-Loss Placement:
For long trades, the stop-loss is set at the low of the previous candle.
For short trades, the stop-loss is set at the high of the previous candle.
Trade Management:
Trades are exited automatically if the stop-loss level is hit.
The strategy avoids re-entering trades until new breakout conditions are met.
Default Settings
Position Sizing:
The default position size is set to 1% of the account equity. This ensures proper risk management and prevents overexposure to the market.
Stop-Loss:
Stop-loss levels are automatically calculated based on the previous candle’s high or low.
Timeframes:
The strategy is versatile and works across multiple timeframes. However, it is recommended to test it on 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily charts for optimal performance.
Key Features
Automated Trade Execution:
The strategy handles both trade entry and exit automatically based on pre-defined conditions.
Built-In Risk Management:
The automatic stop-loss placement ensures losses are minimized on failed breakouts.
Works Across Markets:
The strategy is compatible with a wide range of instruments, including indices, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Clear Signals:
Entry and exit points are straightforward and based on objective conditions, reducing ambiguity.
Versatility:
Can be used for both day trading and swing trading, depending on the chosen timeframe.
Best Practices for Using This Strategy
Backtesting:
Test the strategy on your chosen instrument and timeframe using TradingView's Strategy Tester to evaluate its performance.
Market Conditions:
The strategy performs best in trending markets or during periods of high volatility. Avoid using it in range-bound or choppy markets.
Position Sizing:
Use the default position size (1% of equity) or adjust based on your risk tolerance and account size.
Instrument Selection:
Focus on instruments with good liquidity and volatility, such as indices (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY), forex pairs, or major cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Potential Enhancements
To make the strategy even more robust, consider adding the following optional features:
Stop-Loss Multiplier:
Allow users to customize the stop-loss distance as a multiple of the default level (e.g., 1.5x the low or high of the previous candle).
Take-Profit Levels:
Add user-defined take-profit levels, such as a fixed risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
Time Filter:
Include an option to restrict trading to specific market hours (e.g., avoid low-liquidity times).
Conclusion
The Sunil 2 Bar Breakout Strategy is an excellent tool for traders looking to capitalize on breakout opportunities while maintaining disciplined risk management. Its simplicity, combined with its effectiveness, makes it suitable for traders of all experience levels. By adhering to the clearly defined rules, traders can achieve consistent results while avoiding emotional trading decisions.
This strategy is a reliable addition to any trader’s toolbox and is designed to work seamlessly across different market conditions and instruments.
Sunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi StrategySunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi Strategy
The Sunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi Strategy is a trend-following trading strategy that combines Bollinger Bands with Heikin-Ashi candles for precise market entries and exits. It aims to capitalize on price volatility while ensuring controlled risk through dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on a user-defined Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR).
Key Features:
Trading Window:
The strategy operates within a user-defined time window (e.g., from 09:20 to 15:00) to align with market hours or other preferred trading sessions.
Trade Direction:
Users can select between Long Only, Short Only, or Long/Short trade directions, allowing flexibility depending on market conditions.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones. The strategy enters trades when price breaks through the upper or lower Bollinger Band, indicating a possible trend continuation.
Heikin-Ashi Candles:
Heikin-Ashi candles help smooth price action and filter out market noise. The strategy uses these candles to confirm trend direction and improve entry accuracy.
Risk Management (Risk-to-Reward Ratio):
The strategy automatically adjusts the take-profit (TP) level and stop-loss (SL) based on the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR). This ensures that trades are risk-managed effectively.
Automated Alerts and Webhooks:
The strategy includes automated alerts for trade entries and exits. Users can set up JSON webhooks for external execution or trading automation.
Active Position Tracking:
The strategy tracks whether there is an active position (long or short) and only exits when price hits the pre-defined SL or TP levels.
Exit Conditions:
The strategy exits positions when either the take-profit (TP) or stop-loss (SL) levels are hit, ensuring risk management is adhered to.
Default Settings:
Trading Window:
09:20-15:00
This setting confines the strategy to the specified hours, ensuring trading only occurs during active market hours.
Strategy Direction:
Default: Long/Short
This allows for both long and short trades depending on market conditions. You can select "Long Only" or "Short Only" if you prefer to trade in one direction.
Bollinger Band Length (bbLength):
Default: 19
Length of the moving average used to calculate the Bollinger Bands.
Bollinger Band Multiplier (bbMultiplier):
Default: 2.0
Multiplier used to calculate the upper and lower bands. A higher multiplier increases the width of the bands, leading to fewer but more significant trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tpMultiplier):
Default: 2.0
Multiplier used to determine the take-profit level based on the calculated stop-loss. This ensures that the profit target aligns with the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR):
Default: 1.0
The ratio used to calculate the take-profit relative to the stop-loss. A higher RRR means larger profit targets.
Trade Automation (JSON Webhooks):
Allows for integration with external systems for automated execution:
Long Entry JSON: Customizable entry condition for long positions.
Long Exit JSON: Customizable exit condition for long positions.
Short Entry JSON: Customizable entry condition for short positions.
Short Exit JSON: Customizable exit condition for short positions.
Entry Logic:
Long Entry:
The strategy enters a long position when:
The Heikin-Ashi candle shows a bullish trend (green close > open).
The price is above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a breakout.
The previous candle also closed higher than it opened.
Short Entry:
The strategy enters a short position when:
The Heikin-Ashi candle shows a bearish trend (red close < open).
The price is below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling a breakdown.
The previous candle also closed lower than it opened.
Exit Logic:
Take-Profit (TP):
The take-profit level is calculated as a multiple of the distance between the entry price and the stop-loss level, determined by the selected Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR).
Stop-Loss (SL):
The stop-loss is placed at the opposite Bollinger Band level (lower for long positions, upper for short positions).
Exit Trigger:
The strategy exits a trade when either the take-profit or stop-loss level is hit.
Plotting and Visuals:
The Heikin-Ashi candles are displayed on the chart, with green candles for uptrends and red candles for downtrends.
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted for visual reference.
Entry points for long and short trades are marked with green and red labels below and above bars, respectively.
Strategy Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when:
A long entry condition is met.
A short entry condition is met.
A trade exits (either via take-profit or stop-loss).
These alerts can be used to trigger notifications or webhook events for automated trading systems.
Notes:
The strategy is designed for use on intraday charts but can be applied to any timeframe.
It is highly customizable, allowing for tailored risk management and trading windows.
The Sunil BB Blast Heikin Ashi Strategy combines two powerful technical analysis tools (Bollinger Bands and Heikin-Ashi candles) with strong risk management, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced traders.

Multi-Band Comparison Strategy (CRYPTO)Multi-Band Comparison Strategy (CRYPTO)
Optimized for Cryptocurrency Trading
This Pine Script strategy is built from the ground up for traders who want to take advantage of cryptocurrency volatility using a confluence of advanced statistical bands. The strategy layers Bollinger Bands, Quantile Bands, and a unique Power-Law Band to map out crucial support/resistance zones. It then focuses on a Trigger Line—the lower standard deviation band of the upper quantile—to pinpoint precise entry and exit signals.
Key Features
Bollinger Band Overlay
The upper Bollinger Band visually shifts to yellow when price exceeds it, turning black otherwise. This offers a straightforward way to gauge heightened momentum or potential market slowdowns.
Quantile & Power-Law Integration
The script calculates upper and lower quantile bands to assess probabilistic price extremes.
A Power-Law Band is also available to measure historically significant return levels, providing further insight into overbought or oversold conditions in fast-moving crypto markets.
Standard Deviation Trigger
The lower standard deviation band of the upper quantile acts as the strategy’s trigger. If price consistently holds above this line, the strategy interprets it as a strong bullish signal (“green” zone). Conversely, dipping below indicates a “red” zone, signaling potential reversals or exits.
Consecutive Bar Confirmation
To reduce choppy signals, you can fine-tune the number of consecutive bars required to confirm an entry or exit. This helps filter out noise and false breaks—critical in the often-volatile crypto realm.
Adaptive for Multiple Timeframes
Whether you’re scalping on a 5-minute chart or swing trading on daily candles, the strategy’s flexible confirmation and overlay options cater to different market conditions and trading styles.
Complete Plot Customization
Easily toggle visibility of each band or line—Bollinger, Quantile, Power-Law, and more.
Built-in Simple and Exponential Moving Averages can be enabled to further contextualize market trends.
Why It Excels at Crypto
Cryptocurrencies are known for rapid price swings, and this strategy addresses exactly that by combining multiple statistical methods. The quantile-based confirmation reduces noise, while Bollinger and Power-Law bands help highlight breakout regions in trending markets. Traders have reported that it works seamlessly across various coins and tokens, adapting its triggers to each asset’s unique volatility profile.
Give it a try on your favorite cryptocurrency pairs. With advanced data handling, crisp visual cues, and adjustable confirmation logic, the Multi-Band Comparison Strategy provides a robust framework to capture profitable moves and mitigate risk in the ever-evolving crypto space.
Falcon Liquidity Grab StrategyHow to Use This Script for Commodities and Indices
Best Timeframes: Start with 15-minute charts but test on higher timeframes like 1 hour for indices.
Risk Settings: Adjust the stop_loss_points and take_profit_multiplier to match the volatility of the chosen instrument.
