Price Delta HeatmapThe Price Delta Heatmap is an indicator designed to visualize the price changes of an asset over time. It helps traders identify and analyze significant price movements and potential volatility. The indicator calculates the price delta, which is the difference between the current close price and the previous close price. It then categorizes the price deltas into different color ranges to create a heatmap-like display on the chart.
The indicator uses user-defined thresholds to determine the color ranges. These thresholds represent the minimum price change required for a specific color to be assigned. The thresholds are adjustable to accommodate different asset classes and trading strategies. Positive price deltas are associated with bullish movements, while negative price deltas represent bearish movements.
The indicator plots bars color-coded according to the price delta range it falls into. The color ranges can be customized to match personal preferences or specific trading strategies. Additionally, the indicator includes signal shapes below the bars to highlight significant positive or negative price deltas. Traders can adjust the threshold values based on their preferred sensitivity to price changes. Higher threshold values may filter out minor price movements and focus on more significant shifts, while lower threshold values will capture even minor fluctuations.
****The default settings have the thresholds set to levels of 100, 50, 20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -50, and -100. These numbers are well-suited for assets such as Ethereum or Bitcoin which are larger in price than an asset that has a price of $1.50, for example. To compensate, adjust the thresholds in the settings to reflect the price delta on the desired asset. All coloration and horizontal line plots will adjust to reflect these changes.****
Traders can interpret the Price Delta Heatmap as follows:
-- Bright green bars indicate the highest positive price deltas, suggesting strong bullish price movements.
-- Green bars represent positive price deltas above the third threshold, indicating significant bullish price changes.
-- Olive bars indicate positive price deltas above the second threshold, suggesting moderate bullish price movements.
-- Yellow bars represent positive price deltas above the lowest threshold, indicating minor bullish price changes. This color is reflected on the negative side as well. Yellow bars below zero indicate negative price deltas below the lowest threshold, suggesting minor bearish price changes.
-- White bars represent zero price deltas, indicating no significant price movement.
-- Orange bars represent negative price deltas below the second threshold, indicating moderate bearish price movements.
-- Red bars indicate negative price deltas below the third threshold, suggesting significant bearish price changes.
-- Maroon bars represent the lowest negative price deltas, indicating strong bearish price movements.
The coloration of the Price Delta line itself is determined by the line's relation to the second positive and second negative thresholds (default +/- 20) - if the line is above the second positive threshold, the line is colored lime (and is reflected in a lime arrow at the bottom of the indicator); if the line is below the second negative threshold, the line is colored fuchsia (also reflected as an arrow); if the line is between thresholds, it is colored aqua.
The Price Delta Heatmap can be used in various trading strategies and applications. Some potential use cases include:
-- Trend identification : The indicator helps traders identify periods of high volatility and potential trend reversals.
-- Volatility analysis : By observing the color changes in the heatmap, traders can gauge the volatility of an asset and adjust their risk management strategies accordingly.
-- Confirmation tool : The indicator can be used as a confirmation tool alongside other technical indicators, such as trend-following indicators or oscillators.
-- Breakout trading : Traders can look for price delta bars of a specific color range to identify potential breakout opportunities.
However, it's important to note that the Price Delta Heatmap has certain limitations. These include:
-- Lagging nature : The indicator relies on historical price data, which means it may not provide real-time insights into price movements.
-- Sensitivity to thresholds : The choice of threshold values affects the indicator's sensitivity and may vary depending on the asset being traded. It requires experimentation and adjustment to find optimal values.
-- Market conditions : The indicator's effectiveness may vary depending on market conditions, such as low liquidity or sudden news events.
Traders should consider using the Price Delta Heatmap in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and incorporate risk management strategies to enhance their trading decisions.

Liquidity Zones[Angel Algo]OVERVIEW
The "Liquidity Zones" indicator is a tool for traders to identify high and low liquidity areas on a chart. The indicator plots the highest and lowest volume levels within a rolling window of a specified period and calculates the corresponding price levels and zones at which those volumes occurred. The calculated areas represent key support and resistance levels in the market.
HOW TO USE
Once added, the indicator will plot the high and low liquidity zones on the chart based on the settings. Users can then adjust the indicator inputs to customize its behavior and appearance. Additionally, users can set up trading alerts based on the indicator's signals by clicking the "Create Alert" button in the alert section of the indicator's settings.
The bar coloring feature helps users identify trends and sideways market conditions. When this feature is enabled, the bars on the chart are colored based on their position relative to the highest volume levels calculated by the indicator. If a bar's closing price is above the zone, the bar is colored green. If the closing price is below the zone, the bar is colored red. If the closing price is between these two levels, the bar is colored blue.
This color-coding makes it easy to quickly identify periods of bullish or bearish momentum in the market. When the bars are mostly green, it suggests that buyers are in control and the market is in an uptrend. Conversely, when the bars are mostly red, it suggests that sellers are in control and the market is in a downtrend. The blue bars, on the other hand, indicate a sideways or consolidating market, where neither buyers nor sellers are clearly in control. These periods can be difficult to trade, as there is often a lack of clear direction in price movements.
When the Support/Resistance coloring feature is enabled, the indicator colors the high liquidity zones based on whether the opening and closing prices of the latest candle are above or below the zone. If the opening and closing prices are both above the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored green, indicating potential support. Conversely, if the opening and closing prices are both below the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored red, indicating potential resistance. If the opening and closing prices are inside the high liquidity zone, the zone is colored blue, indicating a neutral zone where price may continue to oscillate. This feature can help traders identify potential areas of support and resistance, and provide insights into market sentiment.
The indicator also includes trading alerts based on the position of the price relative to the highest volume zones. If the price goes above the zone, the indicator will trigger a bullish signal. If the price goes below the level, the indicator will trigger a bearish signal.
SETTINGS
The indicator has several customizable inputs that allow users to tailor its behavior to their preferences. These inputs include:
Period: The number of bars over which to calculate the highest and lowest volumes. The default value is 20. Recommended value range 10-500.
Bar coloring: Whether to color the bars based on their position relative to the high liquidity zones. The default value is false.
Support/Resistance coloring: Whether the high liquidity zone should be colorized depending on whether the price is above or below it. The default value is false.
Display high liquidity zones: Whether to display the high liquidity zones on the chart. The default value is true.
Display low liquidity levels: Whether to display the low liquidity levels on the chart. The default value is false.

🔶 USAGE
This script allows users with an understanding of The Strat to quickly highlight elements such as candle numbers, pivot machine guns, and custom combos. The usage for these concepts is given in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Candle Numbers
The Strat assigns a number to individual candles, this number is determined by the current candle position relative to the precedent candle, these include:
Number 1 - Inside bar, occurs when the previous candle range engulfs the current one.
Number 2 Up - Upside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price high breaks the previous high while the current low is lower than the previous high.
Number 2 Down - Downside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price low breaks the previous low while the current high is higher than the previous low.
Number 3 - Outside bar, occurs when the current candle range engulfs the previous one.
The script can highlight the number of a candle by using labels but can also style candles by depending on the candle number. Inside bars (1) only have their candle wick highlighted, directional bars (2) (-2) only have their candle body highlighted. Outside bars have their candle range highlighted.
Note that downside directional bars are highlighted with the number -2.
Users can see the total amount of times a specific candle number is detected on the historical data on the dashboard available within the settings, as well as the number of times a candle number is detected relative to the total amount of detected candle numbers expressed as a percentage.
It is also possible to see the current candle numbers returned by multiple timeframes on the dashboard.
🔹 Searching For Custom Combos
Combos are made of a sequence of two or more candle numbers. These combos can highlight multiple reversals/continuation scenarios. Various common combos are documented by The Strat community.
This script allows users to search for custom combos by entering them on the Combo user setting field.
When a user combo is found, it is highlighted on the chart as a box highlighting the combo range.
🔹 Pivot Combos
It can be of interest to a user to display the combo associated with a pivot high/low. This script will highlight the location of pivot points on the chart and display its associated combo by default. These are based on the Pivot Combo lookback and not displayed in real-time.
Users can see on the dashboard the combos associated with a pivot high/low, these are ranked by frequency.
🔹 Pivot Machine Gun (PMG)
Pivot Machine Guns (PMG)s describe the scenario where a single price variation breaks the value of multiple past successive higher lows/lower highs. This can highlight a self-exciting behavior, where even more past successive higher lows/lower highs get broken.
Users can select the minimum sequence length of successive higher lows/lower highs required for a PMG to be detected, as well the amount of these successive higher lows/lower highs that must be broken.
Machine Learning: Lorentzian Classification█ OVERVIEW
A Lorentzian Distance Classifier (LDC) is a Machine Learning classification algorithm capable of categorizing historical data from a multi-dimensional feature space. This indicator demonstrates how Lorentzian Classification can also be used to predict the direction of future price movements when used as the distance metric for a novel implementation of an Approximate Nearest Neighbors (ANN) algorithm.
█ BACKGROUND
In physics, Lorentzian space is perhaps best known for its role in describing the curvature of space-time in Einstein's theory of General Relativity (2). Interestingly, however, this abstract concept from theoretical physics also has tangible real-world applications in trading.
Recently, it was hypothesized that Lorentzian space was also well-suited for analyzing time-series data (4), (5). This hypothesis has been supported by several empirical studies that demonstrate that Lorentzian distance is more robust to outliers and noise than the more commonly used Euclidean distance (1), (3), (6). Furthermore, Lorentzian distance was also shown to outperform dozens of other highly regarded distance metrics, including Manhattan distance, Bhattacharyya similarity, and Cosine similarity (1), (3). Outside of Dynamic Time Warping based approaches, which are unfortunately too computationally intensive for PineScript at this time, the Lorentzian Distance metric consistently scores the highest mean accuracy over a wide variety of time series data sets (1).
Euclidean distance is commonly used as the default distance metric for NN-based search algorithms, but it may not always be the best choice when dealing with financial market data. This is because financial market data can be significantly impacted by proximity to major world events such as FOMC Meetings and Black Swan events. This event-based distortion of market data can be framed as similar to the gravitational warping caused by a massive object on the space-time continuum. For financial markets, the analogous continuum that experiences warping can be referred to as "price-time".
Below is a side-by-side comparison of how neighborhoods of similar historical points appear in three-dimensional Euclidean Space and Lorentzian Space:
This figure demonstrates how Lorentzian space can better accommodate the warping of price-time since the Lorentzian distance function compresses the Euclidean neighborhood in such a way that the new neighborhood distribution in Lorentzian space tends to cluster around each of the major feature axes in addition to the origin itself. This means that, even though some nearest neighbors will be the same regardless of the distance metric used, Lorentzian space will also allow for the consideration of historical points that would otherwise never be considered with a Euclidean distance metric.
Intuitively, the advantage inherent in the Lorentzian distance metric makes sense. For example, it is logical that the price action that occurs in the hours after Chairman Powell finishes delivering a speech would resemble at least some of the previous times when he finished delivering a speech. This may be true regardless of other factors, such as whether or not the market was overbought or oversold at the time or if the macro conditions were more bullish or bearish overall. These historical reference points are extremely valuable for predictive models, yet the Euclidean distance metric would miss these neighbors entirely, often in favor of irrelevant data points from the day before the event. By using Lorentzian distance as a metric, the ML model is instead able to consider the warping of price-time caused by the event and, ultimately, transcend the temporal bias imposed on it by the time series.
For more information on the implementation details of the Approximate Nearest Neighbors (ANN) algorithm used in this indicator, please refer to the detailed comments in the source code.
█ HOW TO USE
Below is an explanatory breakdown of the different parts of this indicator as it appears in the interface:
Below is an explanation of the different settings for this indicator:
General Settings:
Source - This has a default value of "hlc3" and is used to control the input data source.
Neighbors Count - This has a default value of 8, a minimum value of 1, a maximum value of 100, and a step of 1. It is used to control the number of neighbors to consider.
Max Bars Back - This has a default value of 2000.
Feature Count - This has a default value of 5, a minimum value of 2, and a maximum value of 5. It controls the number of features to use for ML predictions.
Color Compression - This has a default value of 1, a minimum value of 1, and a maximum value of 10. It is used to control the compression factor for adjusting the intensity of the color scale.
Show Exits - This has a default value of false. It controls whether to show the exit threshold on the chart.
Use Dynamic Exits - This has a default value of false. It is used to control whether to attempt to let profits ride by dynamically adjusting the exit threshold based on kernel regression.
Feature Engineering Settings:
Note: The Feature Engineering section is for fine-tuning the features used for ML predictions. The default values are optimized for the 4H to 12H timeframes for most charts, but they should also work reasonably well for other timeframes. By default, the model can support features that accept two parameters (Parameter A and Parameter B, respectively). Even though there are only 4 features provided by default, the same feature with different settings counts as two separate features. If the feature only accepts one parameter, then the second parameter will default to EMA-based smoothing with a default value of 1. These features represent the most effective combination I have encountered in my testing, but additional features may be added as additional options in the future.
Feature 1 - This has a default value of "RSI" and options are: "RSI", "WT", "CCI", "ADX".
Feature 2 - This has a default value of "WT" and options are: "RSI", "WT", "CCI", "ADX".
Feature 3 - This has a default value of "CCI" and options are: "RSI", "WT", "CCI", "ADX".

Electrocardiogram ChartThis is an attempt to develop alternative visualisation of financial charts. This script also makes use of new pine feature types which represents User Defined Object Types. You can refer to below documentation to understand more about this feature:
www.tradingview.com
www.tradingview.com
🎲 Structure of new chart components
🎯Instead of candles/bars, this type of chart contains Electrocardiogram blocks which resembles the heartbeat signals on electrocardiogram.
Body color of the block is defined by the open and close prices of the bar. If close is greater than open, body is green. Otherwise, the body is painted red.
Border color of the block is defined by the close prices of current and previous bar. If the close of current bar is greater than that of last bar, then the border color is green. Otherwise, border color is painted red.
🎯Inside each blocks there will be 5 connecting lines called the signal lines.
open-open
open-firstPeak(high or low of the bar whichever comes first)
firstPeak-secondPeak(high or low of the bar whichever comes last)
secondPeak-close
close-close
🎯 Color of the signal lines are determined by which among the high/low of the bar comes last. If highest part of the bar reached after reaching the lowest part of the bar, then signal lines are coloured green signifying bullish sentiment towards the end of bar. If lowest part of the bar reached after reaching the highest part of the bar, then signal lines are coloured red signifying bearish sentiment towards the end of bar.
Pictorial examples here:
🎲 Limitations with pinescript implementation
Since, pinescript can only use maximum 500 lines and each block will take 1 box and 5 lines, it is not possible to display more than 100 bars.
Each block of new Electrocardiogram chart will take the space of 7 bars of candlestick chart. Due to this, the alignment of regular OHLC candles is not inline with the new chart type. Background highlighting is done for the part of the OHLC candles where Electrocardiogram blocks are plotted so that it helps users to map the bars manually
Thanks to @theheirophant for suggestion of name :)
PowerX by jwitt98This strategy attempts to replicate the PowerX strategy as described in the book by by Markus Heitkoetter
Three indicators are used:
RSI (7) - An RSI above 50 indicates and uptrend. An RSI below 50 indicates a downtrend.
Slow Stochastics (14, 3, 3) - A %K above 50 indicates an uptrend. A %K below 50 indicates a downtrend.
MACD (12, 26, 9) - A MACD above the signal line indicates an uptrend. A MACD below the signal line indicates a downtrend
In addition, multiples of ADR (7) is used for setting the stops and profit targets
Setup:
When all 3 indicators are indicating an uptrend, the OHLC bar is green.
When all 3 indicators are indicating a downtrend, the OHLC bar is red.
When one or more indicators are conflicting, the OHLC bar is black
The basic rules are:
When the OHLC bar is green and the preceding bar is black or Red, enter a long stop-limit order .01 above the high of the first green bar
When the OHLC bar is red and the preceding bar is black or green, enter a short stop-limit order .01 below the low of the first red bar
If a red or black bar is encountered while in a long trade, or a green or black bar for a short trade, exit the trade at the close of that bar with a market order.
Stop losses are set by default at a multiple of 1.5 times the ADR.
Profit targets are set by default at a multiple of 3 times the ADR.
Options:
You can adjust the start and end dates for the trading range
You can configure this strategy for long only, short only, or both long and short.
You can adjust the multiples used to set the stop losses and profit targets.
There is an option to use a money management system very similar to the one described in the PowerX book. Some assumptions had to be made for cases where the equity is underwater as those cases are not clearly defined in the book. There is an option to override this behavior and keep the risk at or above the set point (2% by default), rather than further reduce the risk when equity is underwater. Position sizing is limited when using money management so as not to exceed the current strategy equity. The starting risk can be adjusted from the default of 2%.
Final notes: If you find any errors, have any questions, or have suggestions for improvements, please leave your message in the comments.
Happy trading!
Rollover LTEThis indicator shows where price needs to be and when in order to cause the 20-sma and 50-sma moving averages to change directions. A change in direction requires the slope of a moving average to change from negative to positive or from positive to negative. When a moving average changes direction, it can be said that it has “rolled over” or “rolled up,” with the latter only applying if slope went from negative to positive.
Theory:
In order to solve for the price of the current bar that will cause the moving average to roll up, the slope from the previous bar’s average to the current bar’s average must be set equal to zero which is to say that the averages must be the same.
For the 20-sma, the equation simply stated in words is as follows:
Current MA as a function of current price and previous 19 values = previous MA which is fixed based on previous 20 values
The denominators which are both 20 cancel and the previous 19 values cancel. What’s left is current price on the left side and the value from 20 bars ago on the right.
Current price = value from 20 bars ago
and since the equation was set up for solving for the price of the current bar that will cause the MA to roll over
Rollover price = value from 20 bars ago
This makes plotting rollover price, both current and forecasted, fairly simple, as it’s merely the closing price plotted with an offset to the right the same distance as the moving average length.
Application:
The 20-sma and 50-sma rollover prices are plotted because they are considered to be the two most important moving averages for rollover analysis. Moving average lengths can be modified in the indicator settings. The 20-sma and 20-sma rollover price are both plotted in white and the 50-sma and 50-sma rollover price are both plotted in blue. There are two rollover prices because the 20-sma rollover price is the price that will cause the 20-sma to roll over and the 50-sma rollover price is the price that will cause the 50-sma to roll over. The one that's vertically furthest away from the current price is the one that will cause both to rollover, as should become clearer upon reading the explanation below.
The distance between the current price and the 20-sma rollover price is referred to as the “rollover strength” of the price relative to the 20-sma. A large disparity between the current price and the rollover price suggests bearishness (negative rollover strength) if the rollover price is overhead because price would need to travel all that distance in order to cause the moving average to roll up. If the rollover price and price are converging, as is often the case, a change in moving average and price direction becomes more plausible. The rollover strengths of the 20-sma and 50-sma are added together to calculate the Rollover Strength and if a negative number is the result then the background color of the plot cloud turns red. If the result is positive, it turns green. Rollover Strength is plotted below price as a separate indicator in this publication for reference only and it's not part of this indicator. It does not look much different from momentum indicators. The code is below if anybody wants to try to use it. The important thing is that the distances between the rollover prices and the price action are kept in mind as having shrinking, growing, or neutral bearish and bullish effects on current and forecasted price direction. Trades should not be entered based on cloud colorization changes alone.
If you are about to crash into a wall of the 20-sma rollover price, as is indicated on the chart by the green arrow, you might consider going long so long as the rollover strength, both current and forecasted, of the 50-sma isn’t questionably bearish. This is subject to analysis and interpretation. There was a 20-sma rollover wall as indicated with yellow arrow, but the bearish rollover strength of the 50-sma was growing and forecasted to remain strong for a while at that time so a long entry would have not been suggested by both rollover prices. If you are about to crash into both the 20-sma and 50-sma rollover prices at the same time (not shown on this chart), that’s a good time to place a trade in anticipation of both slopes changing direction. You may, in the case of this chart, see that a 20-sma rollover wall precedes a 50-sma rollover convergence with price and anticipate a cascade which turned out to be the case with this recent NQ rally.
Price exiting the cloud entirely to either the upside or downside has strong implications. When exiting to the downside, the 20-sma and 50-sma have both rolled over and price is below both of them. The same is true for upside exits. Re-entering the cloud after a rally may indicate a reversal is near, especially if the forecasted rollover prices, particularly the 50-sma, agree.
This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
Additional Notes:
The original version of this script which will not be published was much heavier, cluttered, and is not as useful. This is the light version, hence the “LTE” suffix.
LTE stands for “long-term evolution” in telecommunications, not “light.”
Bar colorization (red, yellow, and green bars) was added using the MACD Hybrid BSH script which is another script I’ve published.
If you’re not sure what a bar is, it’s the same thing as a candle or a data point on a line chart. Every vertical line showing price action on the chart above is a bar and it is a bar chart.

EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!

show bottomscript name: show bottom
For left traders, how to accurately find the bottom is very important, and there are various methods, among which the bottom type is a common and convenient method.
This script shows where the bottom is formed and when the bottom is broken.
Although the definition of the bottom type is very simple: after processing the inclusion relationship, in three consecutive bars, the low point of the middle bar is the lowest point of the three bar low points, and the high point of the middle bar is the highest point of the three bar high points. However, because the containment relationship can be complex, so this script enumerates the common containment relationships, so it is more verbose.
Also, in order to rule out a false break, the script thinks that the alarm will only be issued when the close price falls below the bottom.
Finally, this script supports webhook, that is, when the bottom is broken, the alert content conforms to json format. At the same time, this script also supports sending the opening price, closing price, high point and low point of each bar in the form of json, which is a method of subscribing to real-time stock prices.
Introduction in Chinese:
脚本名称：显示底分型
对于左侧交易者来说，如何准确地找到底部是非常重要的，方法也是多样的，其中底分型是一种常用的简便方法。
这个脚本可以显示底分型的位置，以及底部什么时候被跌破。
虽然底分型的定义很简单：处理包含关系后，连续三个bar中，中间bar的低点是三个bar低点中的最低点，且中间bar的高点是三个bar高点中的最高点，但是，因为包含关系可能比较复杂，所以这个脚本列举了常见的各种包含关系，也因此显得比较冗长。
另外，为排除假跌破，这个脚本认为只有当收盘价跌破底部时，才会报警。
最后，这个脚本支持webhook，也就是说，底部被跌破时，警报内容符合json格式。同时，这个脚本还支持将每个bar的开盘价、收盘价、高点和低点以json形式发送出来，这算是一种订阅实时股价的方法。
LineGetPriceOnLogScaleLibrary "LineGetPriceOnLogScale"
This library provides a way to calculate the y-coordinate of a line on a specified bar when the chart scale is Log.
The built-in `line.get_price()` function only works with linear scale and gives incorrect results when the chart is in Log scale.
The library only works with `bar_index` values and `xloc.bar_index`-based lines, `time`-based lines will cause errors to appear.
coordGetPriceLog(x1, y1, x2, y2, xi) Calculates the y-coordinate on the specified bar on the logarithmic scale.
Only coordinates based on bar index are applicable, bar time will throw an error.
Parameters:
x1 : First X coordinate of a line, index of the bar where the line starts.
y1 : First Y coordinate of a line, price on the price scale.
x2 : Second X coordinate of a line, index of the bar where the line ends.
y2 : Second Y coordinate of a line, price on the price scale.
xi : Index of the bar for which the price should be calculated.
Returns: Price of the line on the bar specified in `xi`, on the logarithmic scale.
lineGetPriceLog(_line, xi) Calculates the y-coordinate on the specified bar for the logarithmic scale. Takes a line.
Only lines drawn based on `xloc.bar_index` are applicable, `xloc.bar_time` will throw and error.
Parameters:
_line : The line for which the price is calculated.
xi : Index of the bar for which the bar should calculate the price.
Returns: Price of the line on the bar specified in `xi`, on the logarithmic scale.
[CP]Pivot Boss Candlestick Scanner - No Repainting This indicator is based on the high probability candlestick patterns described in the ’Secrets of a Pivot Boss’ book.
The indicator does not suffer from repainting.
I have kept this indicator open source, so that you can take this indicator and design a complete trading system around it.
Although the patterns have some statistical edge in the markets, blindly using them as Buy/Sell Indicators will certainly result in a heavy loss.
I like some of these setups more than others, and I have listed them in the order of my likeness.
The first one I like the most, the last one, I like the least.
The patterns are universal and work well in both intraday, daily and even larger timeframes.
Signals in the example charts are manually marked by,
Hammer - profitable short signal
Rocket - profitable long signal
X - unprofitable long or short signal
GENERAL USER INPUTS:
These settings exist as the indicator uses ‘Labels’ to mark the patterns and Pine Script limits a maximum of 500 labels on a chart.
If you want to go back in the past and check how the indicator was doing, set the Start and End dates both and check the ’Use the date range above to mark the Candlestick Setups?’ option.
EXTREME REVERSAL SETUP:
This is by far my favorite setup in the lot. Classic Mean Reversion setup.
The logic, as explained in the book, goes like this,
1. The first bar of the pattern is about two times larger than the average size of the candles in the lookback period.
2. The body of the first bar of the pattern should encompass more than 50 percent of the bar’s total range, but usually not more than 85 percent.
3. The second bar of the pattern opposes the first.
The setup works extremely well in high beta stocks like Vedanta VEDL.
Feel free to play with the settings in order to better align this pattern with your favorite stock.
Check out the examples below,
No indicator is perfect, failed patterns are marked with an X.
OUTSIDE REVERSAL SETUP:
My second favorite setup, it is quite good at catching intraday trends.
Here’s the logic,
1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar’s low and a close that is above the prior bar’s high. Reverse the conditions for bearish outside reversal.
2. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period.
Settings for this pattern simply reflect these conditions. Feel free to modify them as you wish.
The pattern is pretty powerful and will sometimes help you catch literally all the highs and lows of the market, as shown in the examples of Vedanta VEDL and RELIANCE stocks below.
As usual, this pattern is not PERFECT either.
DOJI REVERSAL SETUP:
Doji candles signify market indecision and this pattern tries to profit off these market conditions.
Logic:
1. The open and close price of the doji should fall within 10 percent of each other, as measured by the total range of the candlestick.
2. For a bullish doji, the high of the doji candlestick should be below the ten-period simple moving average. Vice-versa for bearish.
3. For a bullish doji setup, one of the two bars following the doji must close above the high of the doji. Vice-versa for bearish.
Feel free to modify the settings and optimize according to the stock you are trading.
Don't optimize too much :)
This pattern works brilliantly well on larger intraday timeframes, like 15m/30m/60m.
This pattern also has a higher propensity to give false indications than the two described above.
Doji reversal typically helps to catch larger trend reversals. Check out the examples below from RELIANCE and NIFTY charts,
Note that the RELIANCE chart below is the same as shown for the Outside Reversal Setup above, notice the confluence of Outside
Reversal and Doji Reversal on the 31st August.
Confluence of patterns usually increases the probability of success.
RELIANCE 15m Chart - Pattern can catch nice trends on higher timeframes
NIFTY 15m Chart
WICK REVERSAL SETUP:
This pattern tries to capture candlesticks with large wick sizes, as they often indicate trend reversal when coupled with significant support and resistance levels.
Logic:
1. The body is used to determine the size of the reversal wick. A wick that is between 2.5 to 3.5 times larger than the size of the body is ideal.
2. For a bullish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the top 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
3. For a bearish reversal wick to exist, the close of the bar should fall within the bottom 35 percent of the overall range of the candle.
This pattern must always be coupled with important support resistance levels, else there will be a lot of false signals.
The chart below is the same NIFTY chart as above with the Wick Reversal candles marked as well.
You can see that there are a lot of false signals, but the price also indicates ’pausing’ at important levels by printing a wick reversal setup.
You can use this information to your advantage when riding a trend.
FINAL WORDS:
Settings for various patterns simply reflect the logic described.
You will probably need to tweak and optimize the pattern settings for the stock that you are trading.
Higher Beta/Higher Volatility stocks are a great choice for these patterns.
Using these patterns at critical support and resistance levels will result in dramatically high accuracy.
Be creative and try to develop a proper system around this indicator, with rules for position sizing, stop loss etc.
You do not have to trade all the patterns. Even trading just one pattern with a proper system is good enough.
DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR AS A BUY/SELL SYSTEM, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.
Feel free to drop any feedback in the comments section below, or if you have any unique candlestick patterns that you would like me to code.
Cyclic Smoothed RSI with Motive-Corrective Wave Indicator
This indicator uses the cyclic smoothed Relative Strength Index (cRSI) instead of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). See below for more info on the benefits to the cRSI.
My key contributions
1) A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to track the general trend of the cRSI signal. This is very helpful in determining when the equity switches from bullish to bearish, which can be used to determine buy/sell points. This is then is used to color the region between the upper and lower cRSI bands (green above, red below).
2) An attempt to detect the motive (impulse) and corrective and waves. Corrective waves are indicated A, B, C, D, E, F, G. F and G waves are not technically Elliot Waves, but the way I detect waves it is really hard to always get it right. Once and a while you could actually see G and F a second time. Motive waves are identified as s (strong) and w (weak). Strong waves have a peak above the cRSI upper band and weak waves have a peak below the upper band.
3) My own divergence indicator for bull, hidden bull, bear, and hidden bear. I was not able to replicate the TradingView style of drawing a line from peak to peak, but for this indicator I think in the end it makes the chart cleaner.
There is a latency issue with an indicator that is based on moving averages. That means they tend to trigger right after key events. Perfect timing is not possible strictly with these indicators, but they do work very well "on average." However, my implementation has minimal latency as peaks (tops/bottoms) only require one bar to detect.
As a bit of an Easter Egg, this code can be tweaked and run as a strategy to get buy/sell signals. I use this code for both my indicator and for trading strategy. Just copy and past it into a new strategy script and just change it from study to a strategy, something like this:
strategy("cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay", overlay=overlay)
The buy/sell code is at the end and just needs to be uncommented. I make no promises or guarantees about how good it is as a strategy, but it gives you some code and ideas to work with.
Tuning
1) Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): This is a “hidden strategy” feature implemented that will display the high-low bands of the VWMA on the price chart if run the code using “overlay = true”.
- If the equity does not have volume, then the VWMA will not show up. Uncheck this box and it will use the regular WMA (no volume).
- defines how far back the WMA averages price.
2) cRSI (Black line in the indicator)
- Increase to length that amount of time a band (upper/lower) stays high/low after a peak. Reduce the value to shorten the time. Just increment it up/down to see the effect.
- defines how far back the SMA averages the cRSI. This affects the purple line in the indicator.
- defines how many bars back the peak detector looks to determine if a peak has occurred. For example, a top is detected like this: current-bar down relative to the 1-bar-back, 1-bar-back up relative to 2-bars-back (look back = 1), c) 2-bars-back up relative to 3-bars-back (lookback = 2), and d) 3-bars-back up relative to 4-bars-back (lookback = 3). I hope that makes sense. There are only 2 options for this setting: 2 or 3 bars. 2 bars will be able to detect small peaks but create more “false” peaks that may not be meaningful. 3 bars will be more robust but can miss short duration peaks.
3) Waves
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
4) Divergence Indicators
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
Hints
- The most common parameter to change is the . Different stocks will have different levels of strength in their peaks. A setting of 2 may generate too many corrective waves.
- Different times scales will give you different wave counts. This is to be expected. A counter impulse wave inside a corrective wave may actually go above the cRSI WMA on a smaller time frame. You may need to increase it one or two levels to see large waves.
- Just because you see divergence (bear or hidden bear) does not mean a price is going to go down. Often price continues to rise through bears, so take note and that is normal. Bulls are usually pretty good indicators especially if you see them on C,E,G waves.

cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The “core” code for the cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator was written by Lars von Theinen and is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org Copyright (C) 2017 CC BY, whentotrade / Lars von Thienen. For more details on the cRSI Indicator:
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
1) additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
2) adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
3) using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI. The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing, and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm - Part 1: Dynamic Cycles (2017), Chapter 4: "Fine-tuning technical indicators." You need to derive the dominant cycle as input parameter for the cycle length as described in chapter 4.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Time Range StatisticsA good amount of users requested a text box showing various price statistics, the following script returns various of these stats in a user-selected range, and include classical ones such as a central tendency measurement (mean), dispersion (normalized range) and percent change, but also include less common statistics such as average traded volume and number of gaps. The script also calculates the correlation between the closing price and another user-selected instrument.
The script is currently the longest one I ever made and took some efforts, as I wasn't satisfied with the statistics to be originally included. Big thx to Gael for the enormous feedback and the idea of the normalized range, to user @Cookiecrush for the feedback ( without ya I would have posted something bad you know umu ? ), and Lulidolce for the support, friendship is magic!
Selected Range
The setting Start determine the bar at which the range starts, while End determine at which bar the range end. To help you select these values, the current bar number (bar index) is displayed at the right of the indicator title in blue.
The setting evaluate to last bar will use a range starting at Start and ending at the last bar, as such you can use a full range by using Start = 0 and select evaluate to last bar
The range is highlighted by an area on the chart. By default Start = 9000 and End = 10000, you might not have this amount of data in your chart, as such use the displayed bar index to select Start and End, then set the settings as default.
Displayed Statistics
The statistics panel is displayed on the right side of the last bar, the panel has 3 sections, a title section who shows the symbol ticker, timeframe, and overall trends represented by a chart emoji, the overall trends are determined by comparing the number of higher highs with the number of lower low.
Below are displayed the date ranges with time format: year/month/day/hour:minute.
The second section shows the general statistics. The first one is the mean, also represented by the orange line in the chart, the blue line displayed represent the highest price value in the range, while the red one represents the lowest price value.
The second stat is the normalized range, and determine how spread is the price in the user-selected range, why not the standard deviation? Because the standard deviation might return results varying widely depending on the scale of the closing price, you could get measures such as 0.0156 or 16 or even 56 depending on the instrument, as such using a normalized range can be more appropriate as it lays in a range of (0,1). Lower values indicate a low degree of price variation. Note that I still want to find another measure in the future.
The percentage change (or relative change) indicates at which percentage the price has increased or decreased, and is calculated by subtracting the closing at bar Start with the price at bar End , divided by the price at bar End , the result is then multiplied by 100.
The average traded volume calculate the mean of the volume in the selected range, I used the same format used by the original volume indicator for clarity.
Finally, the last stats of the section is the number of gaps, this stat is by default hidden. An up gap is detected when the open price is superior to the previous high, while a down gap is detected when the open price is inferior to the previous low, this allow to only retain significant gaps.
The last section of the indicator panel shows the correlation between the closing price and another instrument, by default GOOG, this correlation is also calculated within the user-selected range. Positive values indicate a positive relationship, that is the two instruments tend to move in the same direction. Negative values indicate a negative relationship, both instruments tend to move in a direction opposite to each other. Values closer to 1 or -1 indicate a stronger relationship, while values closer to 0 indicate no relationship.
In Summary
The script shows various stats, each calculated within a user-selected range, in general one would be more interested in how these stats might evolve with time, but checking them in a custom range can be quite interesting.

Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (4x5 MAs Bollinger Bands) Adv MTF - RRBMulti SMA EMA WMA HMA 4x5 Moving Averages with Bollinger Bands Advanced MTF by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
This indicator shows multiple MAs of any type SMA EMA WMA HMA etc with BB and MTF support, can show MAs as dynamically moving levels.
There are 4 MA groups + 1 BB group, a total of 4 TFs * 5 MAs = 20 MAs. You can assign any type/timeframe combo to a group, for example:
- EMAs 12,26,50,100,200 x H1, H4, D1, W1 (4 TFs x 5 MAs x 1 type)
- EMAs 8,10,13,21,30,50,55,100,200,400 x M15, H1 (2 TFs x 10 MAs x 1 type)
- D1 EMAs and SMAs 8,10,12,26,30,50,55,100,200,400 (1 TF x 10 MAs x 2 types)
- H1 WMAs 7,77,89,167,231; H4 HMAs 12,26,50,100,200; D1 EMAs 89,144,169,233,377; W1 SMAs 12,26,50,100,200 (4 TFs x 5 MAs x 4 types)
- +1 extra MA type/timeframe for BB
There are several versions: Simple, MTF, Pro MTF, Advanced MTF and Ultimate MTF. This is the Advanced MTF version. The Differences are listed below. All versions have BB
- Simple: you have 2 groups of MAs that can be assigned any type (5+5)
- MTF: +2 custom Timeframes for each group (2x5 MTF) +1 TF for BB, TF XY smoothing
- Pro MTF: 4 custom Timeframes for each group (4x3 MTF), 1 TF for BB, MA levels and show max bars back options
- Advanced MTF: +2 extra MAs/group (4x5 MTF), custom Ticker/Symbols, Timeframe <>= filter, Remove Duplicates Option
- Ultimate MTF: +individual settings for each MA, custom Ticker/Symbols
Features:
- 4x5 = 20 MAs of any type
- 4x MTF groups with XY step line smoothing
- +1 extra TF/type for BB MAs
- 4x5 = 20 MA levels with adjustable group offsets, indents and shift
- supports any existing type of MA: SMA, EMA, WMA, Hull Moving Average (HMA)
- custom tickers/symbols for each group - you can compare MAs of the same symbol across exchanges
- show max bars back option
- show/hide both groups of MAs/levels/BB and individual MAs
- timeframe filter: show only MAs/Levels with TFs <>= Current TF
- hide MAs/Levels with duplicate TFs
- support for custom TFs that are not available in free accounts: 2D, 3D etc
- support for timeframes in H: H, 2H, 4H etc
Notes:
- Uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 240 120 and other custom TFs
- Uses symbol textbox instead of input symbol to avoid establishing multiple dummy security connections to the current ticker - otherwise empty symbols will prevent script from running
- Possible reasons for missing MAs on a chart:
- there may not be enough bars in history to start plotting it. For example, W1 EMA200 needs at least 200 bars on a weekly chart.
- price << default Y smoothing step 5. For charts with low/fractional prices (i.e. 0.00002 << 5) adjust X Y smoothing as needed (set Y = 0.0000001) or disable it completely (set X,Y to 0,0)
- TradingView Replay Mode UI and Pinescript security calls are limited to TFs >= D (D,2D,W,MN...) for free accounts
- attempting to plot any TF < D1 in Replay Mode will only result in straight lines, but all TFs will work properly in history and real-time modes. This is not a bug.
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) is limited to 5000 for free accounts (10000 for paid), will show error when exceeded. To plot on all available history set to 0 (default)
- Slow load/redraw times. This indicator becomes slower, its UI less responsive when:
- Pinescript Node.js graphics library is too slow and inefficient at plotting bars/objects in a browser window. Code optimization doesn't help much - the graphics engine is the main reason for general slowness.
- the chart has a long history (10000+ bars) in a browser's cache (you have scrolled back a couple of screens in a max zoom mode).
- Reload the page/Load a fresh chart and then apply the indicator or
- Switch to another Timeframe (old TF history will still remain in cache and that TF will be slow)
- in max possible zoom mode around 4500 bars can fit on 1 screen - this also slows down responsiveness. Reset Zoom level
- initial load and redraw times after a param change in UI also depend on TF. For example:
D1/W1 - 2 sec, H1/H4 - 5-6 sec, M30 - 10 sec, M15/M5 - 4 sec, M1 - 5 sec.
M30 usually has the longest history (up to 16000 bars) and W1 - the shortest (1000 bars).
- when indicator uses more MAs (plots) and timeframes it will redraw slower. Seems that up to 5 Timeframes is acceptable, but 6+ Timeframes can become very slow.
- show_last=last_bars plot limit doesn't affect load/redraw times, so it was removed from MA plot
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) default/custom set UI value doesn't seem to affect load/redraw times
- In max zoom mode all dynamic levels disappear (they behave like text)
1. based on 3EmaBB, uses plot*, barssince and security functions
2. you can't set certain constants from input due to Pinescript limitations - change the code as needed, recompile and use as a private version
3. Levels = trackprice implementation
4. Show Max Bars Back = show_last implementation
5. swma has a fixed length = 4, alma and linreg have additional offset and smoothing params
6. Smoothing is applied by default for visual aesthetics on MTF. To use exact ma mtf values (lines with stair stepping) - disable it
Good Luck! You can explore, modify/reuse the code to build your own indicators.

Indicator: Relative Volume Indicator & Freedom Of MovementRelative Volume Indicator
------------------------------
RVI is a support-resistance technical indicator developed by Melvin E. Dickover. Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price Lines" (DPLs), also introduced by the author.
RVI is usually plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default) when the volume is unusually large. According to the author, this happens if the indicator value exceeds 2.0, thus signifying that a possible DPL is present.
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value)
corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the
DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its
close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar,
the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using
the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used
instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open
price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, RVI is used along with the FreedomOfMovement indicator discussed next.
Freedom of Movement Indicator
------------------------------
FOM is a support-resistance technical indicator, also by Melvin E. Dickover. FOM is the ratio of relative effect (relative price change) to the relative effort (normalized volume), expressed in standard deviations. This value is plotted as a histogram; its bars are highlighted (black, by default( when this ratio is unusually high. These highlighted bars, or "spikes", define the positioning of the DPLs.
Suggestions for placing DPLs are the same as for the Relative Volume Indicator discussed above.
Note that clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the Relative Volume Indicator. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.

BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Strategy Settings:
Number of Contracts: Fixed quantity to trade per signal (1-1000)
Require Volume Confirmation: Toggle to only trade signals with volume >120% of average
TP1 Close Contracts: Exact number of contracts to close at first target (1-1000)
Use Trading Hours Filter: Toggle to restrict trading to specified session
Trading Hours: Session input in HHMM-HHMM format (e.g., "0930-1600")
Main Settings:
Normalization Length: Lookback bars for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
Box Detection Length: Period for volatility peak/trough detection (1-100, default 14)
Strong Closes Only: Toggle between body midpoint vs close price for breakout detection
Nested Channels: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel at a time
ATR TP/SL Settings:
ATR Timeframe: Source timeframe for ATR calculation (1, 5, 15, 60, etc.)
ATR Length: Smoothing period for ATR (1-100, default 14)
Take Profit 1 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 2.0)
Take Profit 2 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 3.0)
Stop Loss Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 1.0)
Enable Take Profit 2: Toggle second profit target on/off
VISUAL INDICATORS:
Channel boxes with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
Green/red colored zones at channel boundaries indicating breakout areas
Volume bars displayed within channels using selected mode
TP/SL lines with labels showing both price level and distance in points
Entry signals marked with up/down triangles at breakout price
Strategy status table showing position, contracts, P&L, ATR values, and volume confirmation status
HOW TO USE:
For 2-Minute Scalping:
Set ATR Timeframe to "1" (1-minute), ATR Length to 12, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Enable volume confirmation and strong closes only. Use trading hours filter to avoid low-volume periods.
For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to match chart or use 5-minute, ATR Length to 14, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.5, SL Multiplier to 1.2. Volume confirmation recommended but optional.
For Hourly+ Swing Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to 15-30 minute, ATR Length to 14-21, TP1 Multiplier to 2.5, TP2 Multiplier to 4.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Volume confirmation optional, nested channels can be enabled for multiple setups.
BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting
RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance of this or any strategy does not guarantee future results. This strategy is provided for educational purposes and automated backtesting. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Market conditions change and strategies that worked historically may fail in the future. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This strategy is built upon the channel detection methodology created by AlgoAlpha in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns and sharing this innovative technique with the TradingView community. The enhancements added to the original concept include automated trade execution, multi-timeframe ATR-based risk management, partial position closing by contract count, volume confirmation filtering, and real-time position monitoring.
EMP Probabilistic [CHE]Part 1 — For Traders (Practical Overview, no formulas)
What this tool does
EMP Probabilistic \ turns raw price action into a clean, probability-aware map. It builds two adaptive bands around the session open of a higher timeframe you choose (called the S-timeframe) and highlights a robust median threshold. At a glance you know:
Where price has recently tended to stay,
Whether current momentum sits above or below the median, and
A live Long vs. Short probability based on recent outcomes.
Why it improves decisions
Objective context in any regime: The nonparametric band comes straight from recent market behavior, without assuming a particular distribution.
Volatility-aware risk lens: The parametric band adapts to current volatility, helping you judge stretch and room for continuation or snap-back.
No lookahead: All stats update only after an S-bar is finished. That means the panel reflects information you truly had at that time.
How to read the chart
Orange band = empirical, distribution-free range derived from recent session returns (nonparametric).
Teal band = volatility-scaled range around the session open (parametric).
Median dots: green when close is above the median threshold, red when below.
Info panel: shows the active S-timeframe, window sizes, live coverage for both bands, the internal width parameter and volatility estimate, plus a one-line summary.
Probability label: “Long XX% • Short YY%” — a simple read on the recent balance of up vs. down S-bars.
How to use it (quick start)
1. Choose S-timeframe with Auto, Multiplier, or Manual. “Auto” scales your chart TF up to a sensible higher step.
2. Set alpha to control how tight the inner band should be. A typical value gives you a comfortable center zone without cutting off healthy trends.
3. Trade the context:
Trend-following: Prefer longs when price holds above the median; prefer shorts when it stays below.
Mean-reversion: Fade moves near the outer edges during ranges; look for reversion back toward the median.
Breakout filter: Require closes that push and hold beyond the volatility band for momentum plays; avoid noise when price chops inside the middle of the orange band.
Risk management made practical
Size positions relative to the teal band width to keep risk consistent across instruments and regimes.
For stops, many traders set them just beyond the opposite orange bound or use a fraction of the teal band.
Watch the panel’s coverage readouts and Brier score; when they deteriorate, the market may be shifting — reduce size or demand stronger confirmation.
Suggested presets
Scalping (Crypto/FX): Auto S-TF, alpha around a fifth, calibration window near two hundred, RS volatility, metrics window near two hundred.
Intraday Futures: Multiplier 3–5× your chart TF; similar alpha and window sizes; RS volatility is a solid default.
Swing/Equities: S-TF at least daily; test both RS and GK volatility modes; keep windows on the larger side for stability.
What makes it different
Two complementary lenses: a distribution-free read of recent behavior and a volatility-scaled read for risk and stretch.
Self-calibrating width: the parametric band quietly nudges its internal multiplier so actual coverage tracks your target.
Clean UX: grouped inputs, tooltips, an info panel that tells you what’s going on, and a simple median bias you can act on.
Repainting & timing
The logic updates only when the S-bar closes. On lower-timeframe charts you’ll see intrabar flips of the dot color — that’s just live price moving around. For strict signals, confirm on S-bar close.
Friendly note (not financial advice)
Use this as a context engine. It won’t predict the future, but it will keep you on the right side of probability and volatility more often, which is exactly where consistency starts.
Part 2 — Under the Hood (Conceptual, no formulas)
Data and timeframe design
The script works on a higher S-timeframe you select. It fetches the open, high, low, close, and time of that S-bar. Internally, it only updates its rolling windows after an S-bar has finished. It then pushes the previous S-bar’s statistics into its arrays. That design removes lookahead and keeps the metrics out-of-sample relative to the current S-bar.
Nonparametric band (distribution-free)
The orange band comes from the empirical distribution of recent session-level close-minus-open moves. The script keeps a rolling window, sorts a safe copy, and reads three key points: a lower bound, a median, and an upper bound. Because it’s based purely on observed outcomes, it adapts naturally to skew, fat tails, and regime shifts without assuming any particular shape. The orange range shows “where price has tended to live” lately on the chosen S-timeframe.
Parametric band (volatility-scaled)
The teal band models log-space variability around the session open using one of two well-known OHLC volatility estimators: Rogers–Satchell or Garman–Klass. Each estimator contributes a per-bar variance figure; the script averages these across the rolling window to form a current volatility scale. It then builds a symmetric band around the session open in price space. This gives you a volatility-aware notion of stretch that complements the distribution-free orange band.
Self-calibration of band width
The teal band has an internal width multiplier. After each completed S-bar the script checks whether the realized move stayed inside that band. If the band was too tight, the multiplier is nudged upward; if it was too loose, it’s eased downward. A simple learning rate governs how quickly it adapts. Over time this keeps the realized inside-coverage close to the target implied by your alpha setting, without you having to hand-tune anything.
Long/Short probability and calibration quality
The Long vs. Short probability is a transparent statistic: it’s just the recent fraction of up sessions in the rolling window. It is not a complex model — and that’s the point. You get an honest, intuitive read on directional tendency.
To monitor how well this simple probability lines up with reality, the script tracks a Brier-style score over a separate metrics window. Lower is better: it means your recent probability read has matched outcomes more closely.
Coverage tracking for both bands
The panel reports coverage for the orange band (nonparametric) and the teal band (parametric). These are rolling averages of how often recent S-bar moves landed inside each band. Watching these two numbers tells you whether market behavior still aligns with the recent distribution and with the current volatility model.
Why it doesn’t repaint
Because the arrays update only when an S-bar closes and only push the previous bar’s stats, the panel and metrics reflect information you had at the time. Intrabar visuals can change while a bar is forming — that’s expected — but the decision framework itself is anchored to completed S-bars.
Performance and practicality
The heaviest step is sorting a copy of the window for the nonparametric band. With typical window sizes this stays responsive on TradingView. The volatility estimators and rolling averages are lightweight. Inputs are grouped with clear tooltips so you can tune without hunting.
Limitations and good practice
In thin or gappy markets the bands can jump; consider a larger window or a higher S-timeframe.
During violent regime shifts, shorten the window and increase the learning rate slightly so the teal band catches up faster — but don’t overdo it, or you’ll chase noise.
The Long/Short probability is intentionally simple; it’s a context indicator, not a standalone signal factory. Combine it with structure, volume, or your execution rules.
Takeaway
Under the hood, the script blends empirical behavior and volatility scaling, then self-calibrates so the teal band’s real-world coverage stays near your target. You get clarity, consistency, and a dashboard that tells you when its own assumptions are holding up — exactly what you need to trade with confidence.
