SMA Cross Entry & Exit StrategyThis is a TradingView Strategy Script meaning you can't execute real trades using your exchange API connected to your TradingView account, it is designed for backtesting only
This is a basic backtesting script for charting the bullish and bearish cross of two user defined simple moving averages, select the cog next to the name of the script ON the price chart in the left hand corner. The script will print to the screen either "Long Entry" or "Short Entry" depending on the direction of the cross. The script using TradingView strategies will subsequently close the opposite of the position that is executed when the bullish or bearish cross occurs. Simply put, if you are short and a bullish cross occurs, your short trade will close and be logged in strategies and the long will fire. You can pyramid the long and short positions to continue entering as long as the trend doesn't flip. You will find this in the script settings. Since this script is for backtesting you can manually set the "backtesting range" for TradingView Strategies and firing the "Long Entry" and "Short Entry". This as well, is in the settings.
Notice: When the SMA cross occurs, you have to wait till the next candle before TradingView Strategy will print the "Long Entry" or "Short Entry" to the screen

This indicator has a goal to use within a LTF(lower time frame) as a buy or sell signal after a CHOCH
5/20 EMA Entry + 1/5 Cross-Count ExitThis script generates entry signals whenever the 5-period EMA crosses the 20-period EMA. A “BUY” label appears when the 5 EMA moves above the 20 EMA, and a “SELL” label appears when it moves below. Once a position is taken, the script begins counting every crossover between the 1-period EMA and the 5-period EMA. As soon as the first EMA(1)/EMA(5) cross occurs after entry, the script closes the trade and plots an “EXIT BUY” or “EXIT SELL” label on that bar. This ensures that each trade is exited on the very first short-term momentum shift (1/5 EMA cross) following the initial 5/20 EMA signal.
Inside 4+ Candles Box (Entry + Target + SMA Stop Logic)🔍 What This Script Does
This indicator detects price compression areas using 4 or more consecutive inside candles, then draws a breakout box to visually highlight the range.
Once price closes above the box, a long entry marker is plotted, along with:
🎯 Target line at 1x box size above the breakout.
❌ Stop-loss at the box low or at a dynamic SMA-based level if the box is too large.
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This script combines inside bar compression, breakout logic, risk control, and visual clarity — all in one tool.
It also cancels the setup entirely if price closes below the box low before breakout, avoiding late or false entries.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Minimum inside candles (default = 4)
SMA length (used as stop if box is large)
Box size % threshold to activate smart stop
Entry, Target, and Stop marker colors
📌 Notes
For long setups only (no short signals).
Use on any asset or timeframe (ideal on 4H/1D).
This is not financial advice. Use with proper risk management.
Backtest thoroughly before live use.
Built with ❤️ by using Pine Script v6.
🇸🇦 وصف مختصر باللغة العربية:
هذا المؤشر يكتشف مناطق تماسك السعر من خلال 4 شموع داخلية أو أكثر، ثم يرسم مربعًا يحدد منطقة الاختراق المحتملة.
عند الإغلاق أعلى المربع، يتم عرض إشارة دخول وسطر هدف بنسبة 100% من حجم المربع.
كما يتم احتساب وقف الخسارة تلقائيًا إما عند قاع المربع أو عند متوسط متحرك ذكي (SMA) إذا كان حجم المربع كبيرًا.
الميزة الإضافية: إذا تم كسر قاع المربع قبل الاختراق، يتم إلغاء الصفقة تلقائيًا لتجنب الدخول المتأخر.

50-Week High Entry / 40-Week Low Exit StrategyThis is a simple long term strategy
Entry condition : You will enter the market when the stock’s current high exceeds its 50-week high. This condition enables you to identify upward momentum and capitalize on potential price surges.
Exit condition
Conversely, you will exit the market when the stock’s current low drops below its 40-week low. This exit strategy helps protect your capital by ensuring you withdraw from losing positions before further declines in price occur.
This trading strategy relies on the Donchian Channel indicator to monitor the relevant 50-week high and 40-week low levels. Given that this is a weekly trading strategy, all backtesting will be conducted using weekly timeframes.

NSE Index Strategy with Entry/Exit MarkersExplanation of the Code
Trend Filter (200 SMA):
The line trendSMA = ta.sma(close, smaPeriod) calculates the 200‑period simple moving average. By trading only when the current price is above this SMA (inUptrend = close > trendSMA), we aim to trade in the direction of the dominant trend.
RSI Entry Signal:
The RSI is calculated with rsiValue = ta.rsi(close, rsiPeriod). The script checks for an RSI crossover above the oversold threshold using ta.crossover(rsiValue, rsiOversold). This helps capture a potential reversal from a minor pullback in an uptrend.
ATR-Based Exits:
ATR is computed by atrValue = ta.atr(atrPeriod) and is used to set the stop loss and take profit levels:
Stop Loss: stopLossPrice = close - atrMultiplier * atrValue
Take Profit: takeProfitPrice = close + atrMultiplier * atrValue
This dynamic approach allows the exit levels to adjust according to the current market volatility.
Risk and Money Management:
The strategy uses a fixed percentage of equity (10% by default) for each trade. The built‑in commission parameter helps simulate real-world trading costs.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Entry Tactics### **Squeeze Momentum Indicator with Stacked EMAs**
#### **Description:**
This indicator is an enhanced version of the **Squeeze Momentum Indicator** (originally by John Carter and later modified by LazyBear). It identifies **periods of consolidation (squeeze)** and signals potential **explosive price moves** when momentum shifts. The added **stacked EMA concept** further refines entry signals by confirming trend strength. This is also an update to version 6 of PineScript
#### **How to Use:**
The indicator provides **three different entry tactics**, allowing traders to choose signals based on their strategy:
1. **Inside Day Pattern** – Detects inside candles, which indicate potential breakouts when volatility contracts.
2. **Consecutive Black Crosses (Squeeze Signal)** – A certain number of black crosses (low volatility periods) suggests a strong move is coming.
3. **Stacked EMA Concept** – When the **8 EMA > 21 EMA > 34 EMA**, combined with a momentum shift from negative to positive, it signals a **high-probability bullish entry**.
#### **Visual Cues:**
- **Histogram Bars**: Show momentum (green for increasing bullish, red for increasing bearish).
- **Black & Gray Dots**: Represent different squeeze states (low volatility vs. breakout conditions).
- **🔥 Bullish Label**: Appears when the stacked EMAs align and momentum shifts from negative to positive.
#### **Best Practices:**
- Look for **momentum shifts during a squeeze** for high-probability trades.
- Use **stacked EMAs as trend confirmation** before entering.
- Combine with **price action and volume analysis** for additional confluence.
This indicator helps traders **anticipate major price moves** rather than react, making it a powerful tool for trend-following and breakout strategies. 🚀

3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtf_period,
)
The HTF filter looks at a higher timeframe (default: 4H) to confirm the trend
It only allows:
Long trades when the higher timeframe is bullish
Short trades when the higher timeframe is bearish
📈 Trading Application Guide:
1. Signal Identification
• Oversold Opportunities (< 30 level)
- Look for bullish crosses of K-line above D-line
- Confirm with higher timeframe alignment
- Wait for price action confirmation (bullish candle)
• Overbought Conditions (> 70 level)
- Watch for bearish crosses of K-line below D-line
- Verify higher timeframe condition
- Confirm with bearish price action
2. Divergence Trading
• Bullish Divergence
- Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- Most effective when occurring in oversold territory
- Use with support levels for entry timing
• Bearish Divergence
- Price makes higher highs while indicator shows lower highs
- Most reliable in overbought conditions
- Combine with resistance levels
3. Wave Effect Analysis
• Strong Waves
- Multiple wave lines moving in same direction indicate momentum
- Wider wave spread suggests increased volatility
- Use for trend strength confirmation
• Energy Field
- Higher intensity in trading zones suggests stronger moves
- Use for momentum confirmation
- Watch for energy field convergence with price action
The energy field is like a heat map that shows momentum strength
It gets stronger (more visible) when:
Price is in oversold (<30) or overbought (>70) zones
The indicator lines are moving apart quickly
A strong signal is forming
Think of it as a "strength meter" - the more visible the energy field, the stronger the potential move
4. Risk Management Integration
• Entry Confirmation
- Wait for all signal components to align
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Confirm with price action and SMA positions
• Stop Loss Placement
- Consider placing stops beyond recent swing points
- Use ATR for dynamic stop calculation
- Account for market volatility
5. Position Management
• Partial Profit Taking
- Consider scaling out at overbought/oversold levels
- Use wave effect intensity for exit timing
- Monitor energy field for momentum shifts
• Trade Duration
- Short-term: Use primary signals in trading zones
- Swing trades: Focus on divergence signals
- Position trades: Utilize higher timeframe signals
⚠️ Important Usage Notes:
• Avoid:
- Trading against strong trends
- Relying solely on single signals
- Ignoring higher timeframe context
- Over-leveraging based on signals
Remember: This tool is designed to assist in analysis but should never be used as the sole decision-maker for trades. Always maintain proper risk management and combine with other forms of analysis.
2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT 2022 model is a comprehensive and advanced trading strategy designed around key concepts such as liquidity, price imbalance, and market structure shifts (MSS). By focusing on the sweep of critical levels such as the previous day’s high/low and important trading sessions like London and New York, this strategy enables traders to predict market movements with greater precision.
The use of tools like FVG in this model helps traders fine-tune their entry and exit points and take advantage of bullish and bearish trends after liquidity sweeps. Moreover, combining this strategy with precise timing during key trading sessions allows traders to minimize risk and maximize returns.
In conclusion, the ICT 2022 model emphasizes the importance of time and liquidity, making it a powerful tool for both professional and novice traders. By applying the principles of this model, you can make more informed trading decisions and seize opportunities in financial markets more effectively.

Users can select which timeframe he want to use
Boxes will be displayed around High time frame SCE to highlight the HTF candle.
As regular SCE, the indicator will write "SCE" above or under the box
How does it helps users ?
Once the SCE is created, it can be used as a zone.
Levels (30, 50 and 70%) are displayed
Users can customize their apparence as they see fit
The 30 - 50 - 70 levels are support/resistance that the price tend to bounce of off
You might find some success looking for an entry inside the zone at a level if price gives further confirmations such as a lower time frame flip or using other indicators
Alert can be setup on any timeframe
Calculate Order Entry Units based on set Dollar ValuesFUNCTIONS
- Calculate UNITS quantity based on user's input dollar values.
- Show Units in table
USAGE
- Enter 6 usual order $ values
- Use units value in order entry
Tradingview doesn't have order entry in dollar value for most connections/exchanges so it's really tedious to calculate Units some other way every time.
This gives you the Units based on your most used order value sizes in a quick way.
Possible future updates
- Allow user settings for number of values to display
- Allow user option to set titles for each row
Note:
Tradingview really need to get off their butts and give us a real DOM panel and working dollar value order entry for all exchanges among other order entry panel updates.
I hope everyone is suggesting this to them.
SMC Order Block & Liquidity EntryThe SMC Order Block and Liquidity Trap Entry Strategy script uses Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which analyze institutional actions in the market, to assist traders in identifying high-probability trades. In order to help traders match their entry with institutional activity, this script highlights important regions of interest, including order blocks, liquidity zones, and indications for Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The fundamental ideas of this approach, which focuses on regions where institutions frequently make sizable orders or sweep liquidity, are based on SMC principles. Order blocks, which are frequently important support or resistance zones when institutions are involved, are the final bullish or bearish candle before a significant price move in the other direction. There are liquidity zones that show where retail stop-loss orders build up (above recent highs or below recent lows), such as Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL). Before changing the direction of the price, institutions could target these zones, giving traders possible chances.
The script depicts liquidity levels above or below recent highs and lows, automatically finds order blocks within a specified lookback time, and looks for BOS (a continuation signal) or CHoCH (a reversal signal). When liquidity retests inside an order block coincide with BOS or CHoCH circumstances, entry signals are produced. While short entries are triggered when the price breaks below the order block and SSL, long entry alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the order block and BSL.
RSI (Kernel Optimized) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator! This indicator adds a new aspect to the well-known RSI indicator, with the help of the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) algorithm, estimates the probability of a candlestick will be a pivot or not. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator :
A New Approach To Pivot Detection
Customizable KDE Algorithm
Realtime RSI & KDE Dashboard
Alerts For Possible Pivots
Customizable Visuals
❓ HOW TO INTERPRET THE KDE %
The KDE % is a critical metric that reflects how closely the current RSI aligns with the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) array. In simple terms, it represents the likelihood that the current candlestick is forming a pivot point based on historical data patterns. a low percentage suggests a lower probability of the current candlestick being a pivot point. In these cases, price action is less likely to reverse, and existing trends may continue. At moderate levels, the possibility of a pivot increases, indicating potential trend shifts or consolidations.Traders should start monitoring closely for confirmation signals. An even higher KDE % suggests a strong likelihood that the current candlestick could form a pivot point, which could lead to a reversal or significant price movement. These points often align with overbought or oversold conditions in traditional RSI analysis, making them key moments for potential trade entry or exit.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a widely used oscillator among traders. It outputs a value between 0 - 100 and gives a glimpse about the current momentum of the price action. This indicator then calculates the RSI for each candlesticks, and saves them into an array if the candlestick is a pivot. The low & high pivot RSIs' are inserted into two different arrays. Then the a KDE array is calculated for both of the low & high pivot RSI arrays. Explaining the KDE might be too much for this write-up, but for a brief explanation, here are the steps :
1. Define the necessary options for the KDE function. These are : Bandwidth & Nº Steps, Array Range (Array Max - Array Min)
2. After that, create a density range array. The array has (steps * 2 - 1) elements and they are calculated by (arrMin + i * stepCount), i being the index.
3. Then, define a kernel function. This indicator has 3 different kernel distribution modes : Uniform, Gaussian and Sigmoid
4. Then, define a temporary value for the current element of KDE array.
5. For each element E in the pivot RSI array, add "kernel(densityRange.get(i) - E, 1.0 / bandwidth)" to the temporary value.
6. Add 1.0 / arrSize * to the KDE array.
Then the prefix sum array of the KDE array is calculated. For each candlestick, the index closest to it's RSI value in the KDE array is found using binary search. Then for the low pivot KDE calculation, the sum of KDE values from found index to max index is calculated. For the high pivot KDE, the sum of 0 to found index is used. Then if high or low KDE value is greater than the activation threshold determined in the settings, a bearish or bullish arrow is plotted after bar confirmation respectively. The arrows are drawn as long as the KDE value of current candlestick is greater than the threshold. When the KDE value is out of the threshold, a less transparent arrow is drawn, indicating a possible pivot point.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator combines RSI & KDE Algorithm to get a foresight of possible pivot points. Pivot points are important entry, confirmation and exit points for traders. But to their nature, they can be only detected after more candlesticks are rendered after them. The purpose of this indicator is to alert the traders of possible pivot points using KDE algorithm right away when they are confirmed. The indicator also has a dashboard for realtime view of the current RSI & Bullish or Bearish KDE value. You can fully customize the KDE algorithm and set up alerts for pivot detection.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. RSI Settings
RSI Length -> The amount of bars taken into account for RSI calculation.
Source -> The source value for RSI calculation.
2. Pivots
Pivot Lengths -> Pivot lengths for both high & low pivots. For example, if this value is set to 21; 21 bars before AND 21 bars after a candlestick must be higher for a candlestick to be a low pivot.
3. KDE
Activation Threshold -> This setting determines the amount of arrows shown. Higher options will result in more arrows being rendered.
Kernel -> The kernel function as explained in the upper section.
Bandwidth -> The bandwidth variable as explained in the upper section. The smoothness of the KDE function is tied to this setting.
Nº Bins -> The Nº Steps variable as explained in the upper section. It determines the precision of the KDE algorithm.
MA15, MA50 with Support/Resistance, CHoCH, Trend, and Entry/Exita comprehensive indicator that includes moving averages (MA), support and resistance levels, Change of Character (CHoCH) detection, trend identification, and entry/exit signals. Here's a breakdown of its components:
Input Parameters:
ma15_length and ma50_length: Lengths for the moving averages.
lookback: Period for detecting support and resistance levels.
Moving Averages:
ma15 and ma50 are simple moving averages with lengths defined by the user.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The script identifies swing highs and lows to update support and resistance levels.
These levels are plotted using extended lines for visualization.
Change of Character (CHoCH):
CHoCH up is detected when ma15 crosses above ma50.
CHoCH down is detected when ma15 crosses below ma50.
Corresponding signals are plotted on the chart.
Trend Identification:
An uptrend is confirmed when ma15 crosses above ma50 and the close price is above ma50.
A downtrend is confirmed when ma15 crosses below ma50 and the close price is below ma50.
Background colors are used to highlight uptrend (green) and downtrend (red).
Entry and Exit Signals:
Buy signals are generated when CHoCH up occurs, and the price pulls back to support during an uptrend.
Sell signals are generated when CHoCH down occurs, and the price pulls back to resistance during a downtrend.
These signals are plotted on the chart.
Alerts:
Alerts are set up to notify the user when a buy or sell signal is detected.
Sniper Entry using RSI confirmationThis is a sniper entry indicator that provides Buy and Sell signals using other Indicators to give the best possible Entries (note: Entries will not be 100 percent accurate and analysis should be done to support an entry)
Moving Average Crossovers:
The indicator uses two moving averages: a short-term SMA (Simple Moving Average) and a long-term SMA.
When the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it generates a buy signal (indicating potential upward momentum).
When the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, it generates a sell signal (indicating potential downward momentum).
RSI Confirmation:
The indicator incorporates RSI (Relative Strength Index) to confirm the buy and sell signals generated by the moving average crossovers.
RSI is used to gauge the overbought and oversold conditions of the market.
A buy signal is confirmed if RSI is below a specified overbought level, indicating potential buying opportunity.
A sell signal is confirmed if RSI is above a specified oversold level, indicating potential selling opportunity.
Dynamic Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The indicator calculates dynamic take profit and stop loss levels based on the Average True Range (ATR).
ATR is used to gauge market volatility, and the take profit and stop loss levels are adjusted accordingly.
This feature helps traders to manage their risk effectively by setting appropriate profit targets and stop loss levels.
Combining the information provided by these, the indicator will provide an entry point with a provided take profit and stop loss. The indicator can be applied to different asset classes. Risk management must be applied when using this indicator as it is not 100% guaranteed to be profitable.
Goodluck!
KC-MACD Entry Master @shrilssThe KC-MACD Entry Master is designed to enhance trading strategies by utilizing Keltner Channels and MACD for dynamic market analysis. This indicator excels in visually identifying market conditions with a sophisticated bar coloring system and an informative MACD Traffic Light feature.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Bar Coloring: The core feature of this indicator is its ability to adjust the color of bars based on their positioning relative to the Keltner Channels and the EMA (Exponential Moving Average). It colors bars lime or red when the closing price is within the Keltner Channels but above or below the EMA, respectively. Additionally, it uses a fuchsia color to indicate breakouts when the price extends beyond the Keltner Channels. This visual aid helps traders quickly identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on market volatility and price action.
- MACD Traffic Light: Positioned at the bottom of the chart, this unique feature displays the histogram color of the MACD, set by default to a 3/10/16 configuration—known as the 3-10 Oscillator. This Traffic Light gives traders an at-a-glance view of the underlying momentum and trend shifts, further aiding in decision-making processes.
- MACD-Based Entry Signals: By calculating the fast and slow moving averages specified by the user, the script determines MACD values and their crossover with a smoothed signal line. Entry points are then highlighted with shapes (e.g., "Buy" or "Sell") plotted on the chart when conditions are met, including alignment with the bar colors for enhanced accuracy.
Mean Reversion with Incremental Entry by HedgerLabsThe "Mean Reversion with Incremental Entry" strategy, designed by HedgerLabs, is an advanced TradingView strategy script focusing on the mean reversion technique in financial markets. This strategy is engineered for traders who prefer a systematic approach with an emphasis on incremental entries based on price movements relative to a moving average.
Key Features:
Moving Average Based Strategy: Central to this strategy is the simple moving average (SMA), around which all trade entries and exits revolve. Traders can customize the MA length, making it flexible for various trading styles and timeframes.
Incremental Entry Mechanism: Unique to this strategy is the incremental entry system. The strategy initiates an initial trade when the price deviates from the MA by a specified percentage. Subsequent entries are made at incremental steps, defined by the trader, as the price moves further away from the MA. This method can potentially capitalize on increasing market volatility.
Dynamic Position Management: The strategy intelligently manages positions by entering long when the price is below the MA and short when above, allowing for adaptive positioning in different market conditions.
Automated Exit Logic: Exit points are determined when the price touches the MA, aiming to close positions at potential reversal points for optimized trade outcomes.
Continuous Market Analysis: With 'calc_on_every_tick' enabled, the strategy constantly evaluates market conditions, ensuring prompt reaction to price movements.
Usage Scenario:
This strategy is particularly beneficial in markets exhibiting mean-reverting behavior. It is suitable for traders focusing on swing trading or those who prefer to scale into positions during periods of high volatility.

Contrarian DC Strategy - w Entry SL Pause and TrailingStopDonchian Channel Setup:
The strategy uses a tool called the Donchian Channel. Imagine this as two lines (bands) on a chart that show the highest and lowest prices over a certain number of past trading days (default is 20 days).
There's also a centerline, which is the average of these two bands.
Entry Conditions for Trades:
Buying (Going Long): The strategy considers buying when the price touches or falls below the lower band of the Donchian Channel. However, this only happens if there has been a pause after a previous losing trade. This pause is a number of candles where no new trades are taken.
Selling (Going Short): Similarly, the strategy considers selling when price reaches or exceeds the upper band of the Donchian Channel. Again, this is subject to a pause after a losing trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Each trade has a "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" set. The Stop Loss is a preset price level where the trade will close to prevent further losses if the market moves against your position. The Take Profit does the same but locks in profit if the market moves in your favor.
The Stop Loss is set based on a percentage of the price at which you entered the trade.
The Take Profit is determined by the Risk/Reward Ratio. This ratio helps balance how much you're willing to risk versus the potential reward.
Trailing Stop Loss:
When a trade is profitable, the strategy should involve a "Trailing Stop Loss." This means the Stop Loss level moves (or trails) the price movement to lock in profits as the market moves in your favor.
For a buy trade, if the price moves above the centerline of the Donchian Channel, the Trailing Stop Loss should be adjusted in the middle between the entry price and the centerline. Viceversa for a sell trade, it should be adjusted in the same way if the price goes below the centerline.
IMPORTANT: There's no allert for the trailing stop at the moment.
Post-Stop Loss Pause:
If a trade hits the Stop Loss (i.e., it's a losing trade), the strategy takes a break before opening another trade in the same direction. This pause helps to avoid entering another trade immediately in a potentially unfavorable market.
In summary, this strategy is designed to make trades based on the Donchian Channel, with specific rules for when to enter and exit trades, and mechanisms to manage risk and protect profits. It's contrarian because it tends to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, which is opposite to what many traders might do.
