cryptomars alarm 3.0
Description:
1. In the indicator, there is an orange signal that fluctuates linearly. It is a buy signal when it goes from bottom to top. When the signal line remains in the upper position, it indicates a multi-party trend.
2. When it goes from top to bottom, it indicates a sell signal. When the signal line remains below, it indicates a sales trend.
3. Depending on the time level, when the position of the signal line changes, determine whether the current candle is completed or not according to the time level of the chart you selected to determine the signal. For example, if you select a chart level of 5 meters, then when the signal line changes, for example, it will send a sell signal from top to bottom. At this time, please do not rush to sell. You should wait for this 5 meter candlestick to complete. When the candle is over and the next candle is started, if the signal line remains in the top-down form, the sell signal is normal and you can sell it.
Because the position of the signal appears, it is the location of the sale. During the completion of the candlestick , the signal may disappear after disappearing. We only have to wait for a while to get a more stable deal.
4. The alarm setting is very simple. There are two lines in the indicator. One is the orange signal line that fluctuates up and down, and the other is the fixed zero line of “zero”.
We set it in the alarm. When the signal line passes "zero" from the top, the short signal is sent only when the candle map is completed. When the signal line passes "zero" from "up" below, the signal is sent for a long time when the candlestick is completed.
One trick, the appearance of the signal, is that the price runs in one direction for a while, so it appears at or near the bottom. Because, when we have already made a profit in the transaction, we can make a profit in advance, and we do not need to wait for the opposite signal to stop the profit and reduce the risk of profit retracement.
Because in this market, the fluctuations are very large, and the people who compete are also very fierce. What we need to do is to make every transaction as possible, and we are all profitable. If we sell and find that the price is still rising, please don't feel sorry, don't consider eating all the profits.
6. When the signal appears, in most cases, even in the impact trend, it will still run a distance in the direction of the signal, that is, you will profit, so please close the position and make a profit in time. Otherwise, when the price volatility is too small, you miss the profit point, the price starts to run in the opposite direction, and you may change from profit to loss.
BITMEX's trailing stop loss is a great feature, please use it flexibly.
7, if it is a shock trend, please try not to trade.
8. We recommend that you turn on the “cryptomars 2.0” and “cryptomars 1.0” indicators. No matter who signs the trade first, you can trade, which can help you get more profit.
9. Remember, I hope this indicator will be your powerful assistant, but please don't rely on it completely. Learning more trading knowledge and skills is even more important. Therefore, when we consider the profitable position, you can use your trading skills, MACD , KDJ, etc. to assist and profit in a more suitable position.

Period Dollar Cost Average BacktesterHere is a simple script to calculate the profits and other dollar cost average strategy statistics. This strategy was created to avoid asset price volatility, so the pump and dump scheme does not affect the portfolio. By dividing the investment amount into periods, the investor doesn’t need to analyze the market, fundamental analysis, or anything. The goal is to increase the asset holdings and avoid fast and robust price movements.
This indicator has some configurations.
Amount to buy: the amount to buy at each time
Broker fee %: the fee percentage that the broker has for spot trade
Frequency: the frequency of the investments. Example: 1 Day means that every day, it will buy an amount of the asset
Starting Date: when the indicator will start the investment simulation
Ending Date: when the indicator will end the investment simulation
InfoCell With/Height: it relates to the panel for view purposes. Change the values to fit better on your screen.
This indicator has three lines:
Total Invested (green): total amount invested at the end of the period
Total Net Profit (pink): total profit by converting the amount of the asset bought at the latest closing price
Holding Profits (yellow): the amount that would be in the portfolio if the investor had invested all the capital in a signal trade at the beginning of the period.
The statistics panel has some information to help you understand buying the asset in one or more trades. So, besides those three lines that were mentioned above, here are the other statistics:
Entry Price: The price of the asset when the first investment was made
Gross Profit: Total amount of profit, not excluding the losses
Gross Losses: Total amount of losses, not excluding the profits
Profit Factor: The Gross Profit divided by the Gross Loss. A value above 1 means it’s profitable.
Profit/Trades: Net profit per trade. This includes the broker fees.
Recovery Factor: The Net profit divided by the relative drawdown. The higher the recovery factor, the faster the recovery of a loss
Total Asset Bought: The amount of the asset that was bought at the end of the investment plan
Absolute Drawdown: The total amount of losses that made the account balance go below its initial value
Relative Drawdown: The max drawdown that occurred, no matter the account balance amount
Total Trades: number of times the investment was made in the selected period
Total Fee: total Fee that was spent on the total investment
Total Winning Trades: the total amount of winning trades. A trade is considered a winner if the net profit is up compared with the latest investment.
Total Losing Trades: the total amount of losing trades. A trade is considered a loser if the net profit is down compared to the latest investment.
Max consecutive wins: the max amount of consecutive winning trades
Max consecutive losses: the max amount of consecutive losing trades
The chart above uses the default configuration of the indicator. Placed on the BTCUSD market, taking the time range of January 1st, 2018 to January 1st, 2022, 4 years. Buying a BTC amount with 10 USDT every day in that period would generate a more than 500% profit. Compared to the profit amount by just holding the count, which was close to 350% profit, the dollar cost average by period would be much more profitable.
EMA width ratioUSE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This is still an experimental script under development.
The script takes the Percentage change/ratio of shorter time frame EMA (for eg: 21) over the 200 period EMA and plots the widening.
This can be used as an indication of bullish or bearish momentum in a certain direction. Plotting an RSI on this indicator results in a much more correlated and smoother RSI to price which can be used to trade as follows.
When price is above 200EMA, longs when RSI on the EMA width ratio is in oversold zone is profitable. Buy at over sold and close at over bought.
When price is below 200EMA, shorts when RSI on the EMA width ratio is in overbought zone is profitable. Sell at over bought and close at over sold.
In the next versions I plan on implementing further improvements like:
1. Color coding direction of market
2. Combining RSI on EMA into a single indicator.
3. Converting indicator to a strategy.
Two EMA Cross+ IndicatorHello traders!
Today we gonna demonstrate out heuristic of classical EMA Indicator. We decided to simplify your trading staff and add some meta data. So, let’s look at it from the very beginning and initially speak about what EMA is and then I’ll tell you why our indicator is extremely convenient and useful.
So, what is EMA? An exponential moving average ( EMA ) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average . An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average ( SMA ), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
Key takeaways:
-The EMA is a moving average that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
-Like all moving averages, this technical indicator is used to produce buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences from the historical average.
As you know, EMA Cross is one of basic and most popular Entry Indicators. It’s kinda easy to understand and even easier to use. This indicator consists of two EMAs - fast (red line) and slow (blue line). Fast EMA is EMA of less length that the fast EMA (default parameter is 9). Thus, it reacts the price change more actively than the slow. We can say that it takes into consideration the most actual price movements. Speaking about slow EMA (default parameter is 30) it’s more inert and it’s more difficult to change its action vastly. We can say that the EMA «looks» at the historical data more accurate, but doesn’t forget about actual price movements.
But how it works? Trivial. When the fast EMA crosses the slow bellow, it provides bearish signal, whereas when it crosses it above, it’s bullish signal. Even more, we added some «confirmation» factor. As you know, when the price is above the slow EMA, the slow EMA plays the role of support line for price and means that the price is in uptrend. Thus, when we see the cross above and it takes place under the price, we called it «strong Bullish Signal». When the price is bellow the slow EMA, slow EMA is resistance. Thus, when we see the cross bellow and it’s under the slow EMA, we called it «strong Bearish Signal».
To make your trading process easier, we plotted the places of crosses on the chart and added the descriptions of the crosses. The flags mean the place of cross. The default parameters have nice backtest on 1H chart. However, you can also change them depending on your goals and the time period. The places of cross looks like flags (red flag is «bearish» cross, green - «bullish»). As you can see, it’s really convenient.
I hope you’ll enjoy our heuristic of classical EMA Cross. We are sure that the meta data that we are taking into consideration makes the signals more accurate and the deals more profitable. The SkyRock Team with support of Trading View try to make your trading process more successful and profitable. Every day we works in conjunction to boost both your skills and trading balance. We hope, it’s really useful for you, dear traders!
MCDX PlusMCDX Plus is an indicator to show the relative level of Profitable Chips, Floating Chips and Locked Chips for Stocks market.
Red Bars being Profitable Chips, Yellow Bars being Floating Chips and Green Bars being Locked Chips.
Profitable Chips represents investments, typically by bankers, accumulating shares when stock price is relatively low over a period of time, either during down trend or ranging. When price is moving up, the shares accumulated will start to make profit.
Locked chips being those bought at at a higher price, failed or unwillingly to cut loss and still holding them.
Floating chips being free flow tradable shares in the market, typically hold by intraday or short term traders.
The relative profitable level is calculated based on current market price versus the highest and lowest price over a look back period.
Typically, 100 days look back, which is sufficient to cover uptrend or downtrend.
In this indicator, I added in options for 34 days (Fibo numbe), 50 days, 100 days and user-input DIY look back period.
When Red Bar height is increasing, profitable level is increasing, stocks price is increasing with main funding is increasing.
Typically higher is better. More than 50% is preferred.
During a retrace or downtrend, the locked chips will lead to higher values of green bar.
Typically lower is better, 0 is preferred.
A simulated fund line (based on KDJ) and fund bull bear line are added to simulate the inflow and outflow of fund.
When fund line cross up bull bear line, it means the in flow of funding.
User can click to show in the setting.
A potential bottom catch alert based on volume and oversold situation are also added as reference.
A table with indicator name and values of profitable chips, floating chips and locked chips is added.
User can click to show or mute.
MCDX Plus is shown on DPIH (KLCI).
The Price chart shows the highest, lowest, average of 100day look back period, blue line being MA20.
MCDX's red bar is slightly over 50%, cross over the 10day Moving Average of profitable chips. Locked chips is 0.
We can also see fund cross over fund bull bear line briefly.
It is a positive movement.
User is recommend to do further technical analysis such as support and resistance, etc, to better understand trend.
Ideas to improve the scripts are welcome. Hope this help.

Crypto Scalper Pro Study / Alerts===========
Crypto Scalper Pro Study Script with Alerts
===========
Our Crypto Scalper Pro Study with Alerts Script is a carbon copy of our tried and tested Crypto Scalper Pro Strategy , but now with the option of setting TradingView Alerts for your chosen trading plan. Making missing trades a thing of the past, and helping you to automate your own trading strategy using AutoView, 3Commas or similar 3rd party Auto Trading Software.
-----------
Crypto Scalper Pro is a scalping strategy developed to work alongside our Crypto Tipster Strategy, now you can trade the D markets with our Tipster, and Intra-Day markets with our Scalper!
This strategy works very well on shorter time frames across multiple crypto pairs, everything from 4H all the way down to a 5m chart, our Crypto Scalper will find the best Entry and Exit points for consistent and reliable returns.
We've added a few variables for you to play with to fine tune this scalper to suit your chosen trading plan - however, these will only adjust the strategy to a certain degree, as there are many algorithms and indicators doing their thing hidden in the background that take precedence.
-----------
What's Included?
Crypto Scalper Pro comes with a host of features and is being continually updated, these features include (but are not limited to):
- Date Range Settings
Setting custom Start/End dates can help hone your strategy to suit the current times, or get a general overview of the market over the years.
- Heikin Ashi Confirmation
We added HA confirmation for both Entry & Exit of trades. This started as a form of "Safe Mode", we have since adapted our safe mode far beyond Heikin Ashi; but kept this confirmation as an added extra.
- Variable Indicator Settings
As well as our Fixed Indicators and Price Action analysis going on in the background of the strategy, we've also included some Variable Indicators that you have access to edit.
Lookback Period will help establish how far back you'd want to be confirming price indications on the strategy - the higher the number the further back it will look, making the Scalping Strategy appear smoother with less trades during choppy times, the downside with a higher lookback is you might miss the start of a potentially epic trade, and only be shown an Entry after the event has already happened.
We find Lookback Lengths of between 5 and 100 could work depending on various other settings, the market being traded, and the timeframe being used.
MA Length (Length of Moving Average) - We use a few MA's to best determine various factors involved with successfully scalping a market, overall trend direction, current price movements and fake-out detection to name just a few. You've got the option of determining a good average length for a few of these variables.
Again, a short MA Length will catch every big move right at the start, but you're almost guaranteed a Negative Expected Value with that method, due to the vast quantity of losing trades in times of chop/ranging markets. A Higher MA Length will remove a lot of chop, reduce the quantity of trades, and therefore (should) result in a higher Percent of Trades Profitable; it will however add a certain lag to the strategy, meaning those highly profitable trades we're looking for may turn out to be not so highly profitable!
- Safe Mode
Enabling Safe Mode will add a couple more confirmation indicators to the strategy - the aim of Safe Mode is, in essence, to remove any trading signals that would end of being false/bad moves. Usually resulting in less Overall Trades, a higher Net Profit, higher % Profitable, higher Profit Factor AND a lower Drawdown. Use Safe Mode to help eliminate orders that would otherwise be placed in choppy markets.
- Stop Loss/Take Profit Settings
This is where Crypto Scalper Pro really proves itself, Money Management. We have an editable Fixed SL/TP, as well as Trailing Stops for Long or Short orders, all of which you can use on their own, or combined with each other. Playing with these settings can turn an un-profitable system into a very-profitable trading plan!
-----------
What's Included within Crypto Scalper Study / Alerts Script?
Our Study script will find Entry and Exit points exactly as our Pro Strategy would find them. The same indicators, methods and chart reading techniques are used, there are 2 big differences however...
The first difference is that our Pro Strategy has the ability to manage your money, Fixed Stops, Take Profit and Trailing Stops to name just a few. Our Study does not (yet) have these functions added due to the way TradingView's charting platform operates.
That's the bad news, the good news for our Crypto Scalper Study Script is that you can add Alerts to your trading plan! This is super handy if you decide to implement our methods into different time frames across various markets and are looking for Intra-day Alerts, or if you're looking to Automate your trading strategy using external software.
Help and Advice for setting up Alerts or to Automate your Strategy can be found on our website.

Smart DCA StrategyINSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost .
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size , you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.
STRATEGY IN ACTION
Here you see the indicator running on the BITSTAMP:BTCUSD pair. You can read the indicator as follows:
Vertical green bands on historical candles represents where buy signals triggered in the past
Table on the top right represents the results of the A/B backtest against a standard DCA strategy
Green Smart Buy column shows that Smart DCA was more profitable than standard DCA on this backtest. That is shown by the percentage GOA (Gain on Account) and the Avg Cost
Smart Buy Zone label marks the threshold which the entire candle must be below to trigger a buy signal (line can be changed to a box under plotting settings)
Green color of Smart Buy Zone label represents that the open candle is still valid for a buy signal. A signal will only be generated if the candle closes while this label is still green
Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart a couple of days later. Notice how the threshold has been broken and the Smart Buy Zone label has turned from green to red. No buy signal can be triggered for this day - even if the candle retraced and closed below the threshold before daily candle close.
Notice how the green vertical bands tend to be present after significant pullbacks in price. This is the reason the strategy works! Below is the same BITSTAMP:BTCUSD chart, but this time zoomed out to present a clearer picture of the times it would invest vs times it would sit out of the market. You will notice it invests heavily in bear markets and significant pullbacks, and does not buy anything during bull markets.
Finally, to visually demonstrate the indicator on an asset other than BTC, here is an example on CRYPTO:ETHUSD . In this case the current daily high has not touched the threshold so it is still possible for this to be a valid buy trigger on daily candle close. The vertical green band will not print until the buy trigger is confirmed.
BACKTEST RESULTS
Now for some backtest results to demonstrate the improved performance over a standard DCA strategy using all non-stablecoin assets in the top 30 cryptos by marketcap.
I've used the TradingView ticker (exchange name denoted as CRYPTO in the symbol search) for every symbol tested with the exception of BTCUSD because there was some dodgy data at the beginning of the TradingView BTCUSD chart which overinflated the effectiveness of the Smart DCA strategy on that ticker. For BTCUSD I've used the BITSTAMP exchange data. The symbol links below will take you to the correct chart and exchange used for the test.
I'm using the GOA (Gain on Account) values to present how each strategy performed.
The value on the left side is the standard DCA result and the right is the Smart DCA result.
✅ means Smart DCA strategy outperformed the standard DCA strategy
❌ means standard DCA strategy outperformed the Smart DCA strategy
To avoid overfitting, and to prove that this strategy does not suffer from overfitting, I've used the exact same input parameters for every symbol tested below. The settings used in these backtests are:
Buying strictness scale: 9
Validation days: 0
You can absolutely tweak the values per symbol to further improve the results of each, however I think using identical settings on every pair tested demonstrates a higher likelihood that the results will be similar in the live markets.
I'm presenting results for two time periods:
First price data available for trading pair -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (ALL TIME)
Opening candle on Sunday 1st Jan 2023 -> closing candle on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (JAN 2023 -> JAN 2024)

GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index
What is the Phase Change Index?
The Phase Change Index (PCI) is a technical indicator that has gained popularity among traders in recent years. It is used to identify market phases and make profitable trades based on momentum and price data. The PCI was developed by M.H. Pee and first introduced in the Stocks & Commodities magazine in 2004.
The PCI is calculated using the 35-day momentum and the 35-day price channel index (PCI). The momentum is the difference between the current day's close and the close 35 days ago, while the PCI measures the distance between the highest high and lowest low over a period of 35 days. By combining these two indicators, traders can identify six possible market phases, each with its own trading strategy.
The formula for calculating the Phase Change Index (PCI) is as follows:
PCI = 100 * (C - L) / (H - L)
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- L is the lowest low over a period of 35 days
- H is the highest high over a period of 35 days
The formula for calculating momentum is as follows:
Momentum = C - Cn
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- Cn is the closing price n days ago, where n = 35 in this case.
The first two phases are characterized by negative momentum, with phase one having a low PCI value (less than 20) and phase two having a high PCI value (greater than 80). In these phases, traders should enter short positions. The next two phases have positive momentum, with phase three having a low PCI value and phase four having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should enter long positions.
The final two phases are characterized by neutral momentum, with phase five having a low PCI value and phase six having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should maintain their previous positions until there is a clear signal to enter or exit.
Traders can also use other technical indicators in conjunction with the PCI to confirm signals or filter out false signals. For example, some traders use moving averages or trendlines to confirm trend direction before entering a trade based on the PCI.
In conclusion, the Phase Change Index is a powerful technical indicator that can help traders identify market phases and make profitable trades. By combining momentum and price data, traders can enter long or short positions based on the six possible market phases. Backtesting results have shown that the PCI is robust across parameters, markets, and years. However, it is important to use proper risk management and not rely solely on past profitability when making trading decisions.
What is the Jurik Filter?
The Jurik Filter is a technical analysis tool that is used to filter out market noise and identify trends in financial markets. It was developed by Mark Jurik in the 1990s and is based on a non-linear smoothing algorithm that provides a more accurate representation of price movements.
Traditional moving averages, such as the Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) or Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ), are linear filters that produce a lag between price and the moving average line. This can cause false signals during periods of market volatility , which can result in losses for traders and investors.
The Jurik Filter is designed to address this issue by incorporating a damping factor into the smoothing algorithm. This damping factor adjusts the filter's responsiveness to the changes in price, allowing it to filter out market noise without overshooting price peaks and valleys.
The Jurik Filter is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account the current and past prices of an asset, as well as the volatility of the market. This formula incorporates the damping factor and produces a smoother price curve than traditional moving average filters.
One of the advantages of the Jurik Filter is its ability to adjust to changing market conditions. The damping factor can be adjusted to suit different securities and time frames, making it a versatile tool for traders and investors.
Traders and investors often use the Jurik Filter in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as the MACD or RSI , to confirm or complement their trading strategies. By filtering out market noise and identifying trends in the financial markets, the Jurik Filter can help improve the accuracy of trading signals and reduce the risks of false signals during periods of market volatility .
Overall, the Jurik Filter is a powerful technical analysis tool that can help traders and investors make more informed decisions about buying and selling securities. By providing a smoother price curve and reducing false signals, it can help improve trading performance and reduce risk in volatile markets.
What is the Adaptive Lookback Period?
The adaptive lookback period is a technique used in technical analysis to adjust the period of an indicator based on changes in market conditions. This technique is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals.
The concept of the adaptive lookback period is relatively simple. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals. This can help traders to enter and exit trades at the right time and improve the profitability of their trading strategies.
The adaptive lookback period works by identifying potential swing points in the market. Once these points are identified, the lookback period is calculated based on the number of swings and a speed parameter. The swing count parameter determines the number of swings that must occur before the lookback period is adjusted. The speed parameter controls the rate at which the lookback period is adjusted, with higher values indicating a more rapid adjustment.
The adaptive lookback period can be applied to a wide range of technical indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines. By adjusting the period of these indicators based on changes in market conditions, traders can reduce the impact of noise and false signals, leading to more profitable trades.
In summary, the adaptive lookback period is a powerful technique for traders and analysts looking to optimize their technical indicators. By adjusting the period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades. While there are various ways to implement the adaptive lookback period, the basic concept remains the same, and traders can adapt and customize the technique to suit their individual needs and trading styles.
What is the Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index?
The combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is an effective technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, the adaptive lookback period can be used to adjust the period of the indicator based on changes in market conditions. Jurik filtering can then be used to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of the signals produced by the PCI indicator.
The adaptive lookback period is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades.
Jurik filtering is a more advanced filtering technique that uses a combination of smoothing and phase shift to produce a more accurate signal. This technique is particularly useful in filtering out market noise and improving the accuracy of trading signals. Jurik filtering can be applied to various indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines.
Overall, the combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is a powerful technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, this technique is particularly effective in identifying trend changes and producing more accurate signals for entry and exit points in trading strategies.
Keep in mind, this is an inverse indicator meaning that above the middle-line/signal is short, below is long.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
It's important to note that, like any other technical analysis tool, Heiken Ashi "better" candles are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Use a GKD-V indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Use a GKD-B indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Baseline (Baseline, Backtest)
1. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
2. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Baseline"
Volatility/Volume (Volatility/Volume, Backte st)

9 Seasons Rainbow Multiple Time Frames Pattern PRO [9SPEN]The indicator discovers profitable patterns by associating Price Season of multiple time frames.
Full Name: 9 Seasons Rainbow - Multiple Time Frames Associated Price Wave Pattern Indicator
This is redefined from “9 Seasons Rainbow Indicator PRO”, with clearer definition of 9 Seasons and user manual.
Version: Invite-Only PRO
Language: English
Copyright: 2019
---------- How to use the indicator ----------
Go through the manual and related ideas underneath or follow the tutorials list. Look through the profitable patterns and related cases, wait for or set alert for specific profitable pattern.
---------- Definition: 9 Seasons ----------
A life cycle of Price Wave is divided into 9 Seasons. Each time frame, from 5 minute to 1 month, has 9 seasons, Independent of each other:
Bull (Green)
Bull Pullback (Light Green): a pullback or retracement
Resistance / Overbought (Yellow): a resistance area, may become a Top, or be broken through.
Crazy Bought (Lime): Price is going up in a high volatility, could be a valid breakout, or a Bull Trap.
Neutral (White): a wandering season without direction, evolves into Bull or Bear
Bear (Red)
Bear Bounce (Light Red): Price bounces
Support / Oversold (Blue): a support area, may become a Bottom, or be broken through.
Crazy Sold (Fuchsia): Price is going down in a high volatility, could be a valid breakdown, or a Bear Trap.
---------- Some important evolution between seasons ----------
Resistance / Overbought (Yellow) -> Crazy Bought (Lime):
Bull is breaking through a resistance.
Crazy Bought (Lime) -> Resistance / Overbought (Yellow):
This normally indicates a failed breakout, Price goes back to the resistance.
Crazy Bought (Lime) -> Bull Pullback (Light Green):
This normally indicates Price has risen to a new level
Support / Oversold (Blue) -> Crazy Sold (Fuchsia):
Bear is breaking through a support.
Crazy Sold (Fuchsia) -> Support / Oversold (Blue):
This normally indicates a failed breakdown, Price recovers to the support.
Crazy Sold (Fuchsia) -> Bear Bounce (Light Red):
This normally indicates price has dropped to a new level
---------- Rainbow Ribbons for Multiple Time Frames ----------
Each ribbon of a rainbow represents a time frame.
The uppermost ribbon represents the shortest-term time frame - current time period of the chart, which is the time frame for trading.
The lowermost ribbon represent longest-term time frame, which work as environment, together with the other medium-term and long-term time frames.
The difference between two frames is 1.4142 fold (square root of 2), if level 1 is 15 minute, level 2 is 15 minute * (square root of 2) .
Examples of time frames in a rainbow:
For STANDARD in 15M: 15M - 21M - 30M - 42M - 60M(1H) - 85M - 120M(2H) - 170M
For PRO in 15M: 15M - 21M - 30M - 42M - 60M(1H) - 85M - 120M(2H) - 170M - 240M(4H) - 339M - 480M(8H) - 679M
---------- Trading Methods ----------
How to open a Long position?

TQ's Support & Resistance(My goal creating this indicator): Provide a way to categorize and label key structures on multiple different levels so I can create a plan based on those observable facts.
The Underlying Concept / What is Momentum?
Momentum indicates transaction pressure. If the algorithm detects price is going up, that would be considered positive momentum. If the algorithm detects price is going down negative momentum would be detected.
The Momentum shown is derived from a price action pattern. Unlike my previous Support & Resistance indicator that used Super Trend, this indicator uses a unique pattern I created. On the first bar bearish momentum is detected a resistance Level is made at the highest point of the previous bullish condition. On the first bar bullish momentum is detected a support Level is made at the lowest point of the previous bearish condition. This happens on 5 different Momentum Levels, (short-term to long-term). I currently use this pattern to trade so the source code is protected.
What is Severity?
Severity is How we differentiate the importance of different Highs and Lows. If Momentum is detected on a higher level the Supply or Demand Level is updated. The Color and Size representing that Level will be shown. Demand and Supply Levels made by higher levels are more SEVERE than a demand level made by a lower level.
Technical Inputs
- to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels change BAR_INDEX. BAR_INDEX creates a buffer at the start of the chart. For example: If you set BAR_INDEX to 300. The script will wait for 300 bars to elapse on the current chart before running. This allows the script more time to gather data. Which is needed in order for our dynamic lookback length to never return an error (Dynamic lookback length can't be negative or zero). The lower the timeframe the greater the number of bars need. For Example, if I open up a 1min chart I would enter 5000 as my BAR_INDEX since that will provide enough data to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels. If I was on a daily chart, I would enter a lower number such as 800. Don't be afraid to play around with this.
- Toggle options (Close) or (High & Low) creates Support and Resistance Levels using the Lowest close and Highest close or using the Lowest low and Highest high.
Level Inputs
- The indicator has 5 Different Levels indicating SEVEREITY of a Supply and Demand Levels. The higher the Level the more SEVERE the Level.
Display Inputs
- You have the option to customize the Length, Width, Line Style, and Colors of all 5 different
- This indicator includes a Trend Chart. To Easily verify the current trend of any displayed by this indicator toggle on Chart On/Off. You also get the option to change the Chart Position and the size of the Trend Chart
How Trend Is being Determined?
(Close > Current Supply Level) if this statement is true technically price made a HH, so the trend is bullish.
(Close < Current Demand Level) if this statement is true technically price made a LL, so the trend is bearish.
- Fully customize how you display Market Structure on different levels. Line Length, Line Width, Line Style, and Line color can all be customized.
How it can be used?
(Examples of Different ways you can use this indicator): Easily categorize the severity of each and every Supply or Demand Level in the market (The higher Level the stronger the level)
: Quickly Determine the trend of any Level.
: Get a consistent view of a market and how different Levels are behaving but just use one chart.
: Take the discretion from hand drawing support and resistance lines out of your trading.
: Find and categorize strong levels for potential breakouts.
: Trend Analysis, use Levels to create a narrative based on observable facts from these Levels.
: Different Targets to take money off the table.
: Use Severity to differentiate between different trend line setups.
: Find Great places to move your stop loss too.
Smart DCA Strategy (Public)INSPIRATION
While Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a popular and stress-free investment approach, I noticed an opportunity for enhancement. Standard DCA involves buying consistently, regardless of market conditions, which can sometimes mean missing out on optimal investment opportunities. This led me to develop the Smart DCA Strategy – a 'set and forget' method like traditional DCA, but with an intelligent twist to boost its effectiveness.
The goal was to build something more profitable than a standard DCA strategy so it was equally important that this indicator could backtest its own results in an A/B test manner against the regular DCA strategy.
WHY IS IT SMART?
The key to this strategy is its dynamic approach: buying aggressively when the market shows signs of being oversold, and sitting on the sidelines when it's not. This approach aims to optimize entry points, enhancing the potential for better returns while maintaining the simplicity and low stress of DCA.
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS, AND IS NOT
This is an investment style strategy. It is designed to improve upon the common standard DCA investment strategy. It is therefore NOT a day trading strategy. Feel free to experiment with various timeframes, but it was designed to be used on a daily timeframe and that's how I recommend it to be used.
You may also go months without any buy signals during bull markets, but remember that is exactly the point of the strategy - to keep your buying power on the sidelines until the markets have significantly pulled back. You need to be patient and trust in the historical backtesting you have performed.
HOW IT WORKS
The Smart DCA Strategy leverages a creative approach to using Moving Averages to identify the most opportune moments to buy. A trigger occurs when a daily candle, in its entirety including the high wick, closes below the threshold line or box plotted on the chart. The indicator is designed to facilitate both backtesting and live trading.
HOW TO USE
Settings:
The input parameters for tuning have been intentionally simplified in an effort to prevent users falling into the overfitting trap.
The main control is the Buying strictness scale setting. Setting this to a lower value will provide more buying days (less strict) while higher values mean less buying days (more strict). In my testing I've found level 9 to provide good all round results.
Validation days is a setting to prevent triggering entries until the asset has spent a given number of days (candles) in the overbought state. Increasing this makes entries stricter. I've found 0 to give the best results across most assets.
In the backtest settings you can also configure how much to buy for each day an entry triggers. Blind buy size is the amount you would buy every day in a standard DCA strategy. Smart buy size is the amount you would buy each day a Smart DCA entry is triggered.
You can also experiment with backtesting your strategy over different historical datasets by using the Start date and End date settings. The results table will not calculate for any trades outside what you've set in the date range settings.
Backtesting:
When backtesting you should use the results table on the top right to tune and optimise the results of your strategy. As with all backtests, be careful to avoid overfitting the parameters. It's better to have a setup which works well across many currencies and historical periods than a setup which is excellent on one dataset but bad on most others. This gives a much higher probability that it will be effective when you move to live trading.
The results table provides a clear visual representation as to which strategy, standard or smart, is more profitable for the given dataset. You will notice the columns are dynamically coloured red and green. Their colour changes based on which strategy is more profitable in the A/B style backtest - green wins, red loses. The key metrics to focus on are GOA (Gain on Account) and Avg Cost.
Live Trading:
After you've finished backtesting you can proceed with configuring your alerts for live trading.
But first, you need to estimate the amount you should buy on each Smart DCA entry. We can use the Total invested row in the results table to calculate this. Assuming we're looking to trade on
BTCUSD
Decide how much USD you would spend each day to buy BTC if you were using a standard DCA strategy. Lets say that is $5 per day
Enter that USD amount in the Blind buy size settings box
Check the Blind Buy column in the results table. If we set the backtest date range to the last 10 years, we would expect the amount spent on blind buys over 10 years to be $18,250 given $5 each day
Next we need to tweak the value of the Smart buy size parameter in setting to get it as close as we can to the Total Invested amount for Blind Buy
By following this approach it means we will invest roughly the same amount into our Smart DCA strategy as we would have into a standard DCA strategy over any given time period.
After you have calculated the Smart buy size, you can go ahead and set up alerts on Smart DCA buy triggers.
BOT AUTOMATION
In an effort to maintain the 'set and forget' stress-free benefits of a standard DCA strategy, I have set my personal Smart DCA Strategy up to be automated. The bot runs on AWS and I have a fully functional project for the bot on my GitHub account. Just reach out if you would like me to point you towards it. You can also hook this into any other 3rd party trade automation system of your choice using the pre-configured alerts within the indicator.
PLANNED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Currently this is purely an accumulation strategy. It does not have any sell signals right now but I have ideas on how I will build upon it to incorporate an algorithm for selling. The strategy should gradually offload profits in bull markets which generates more USD which gives more buying power to rinse and repeat the same process in the next cycle only with a bigger starting capital. Watch this space!
MARKETS
Crypto:
This strategy has been specifically built to work on the crypto markets. It has been developed, backtested and tuned against crypto markets and I personally only run it on crypto markets to accumulate more of the coins I believe in for the long term. In the section below I will provide some backtest results from some of the top crypto assets.
Stocks:
I've found it is generally more profitable than a standard DCA strategy on the majority of stocks, however the results proved to be a lot more impressive on crypto. This is mainly due to the volatility and cycles found in crypto markets. The strategy makes its profits from capitalising on pullbacks in price. Good stocks on the other hand tend to move up and to the right with less significant pullbacks, therefore giving this strategy less opportunity to flourish.
Forex:
As this is an accumulation style investment strategy, I do not recommend that you use it to trade Forex.

Swing Data - Optimized SK60
v. 1.83
indicator adjust to time frame.
This Pine Script code generates a trading indicator that calculates and displays various data points on a stock, including Average Daily Range (ADR%), Market Cap, Current Volume, Free Cash Flow (FCF) Yield %, Float %, whether moving averages (MA) are inline, and the moving averages of certain indexes like the Russell 2000, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500. Here’s a breakdown of the script and how to use it.
Key Concepts and Functionality
Indicator Definition: The script begins by defining the indicator with a title (Swing Data - Optimized ADR%...) and short title (Optimized Swing Data), which will appear on the chart. The overlay=true command ensures that the indicator is drawn on the main price chart rather than in a separate pane.
Sector and Ticker:
s = syminfo.tickerid: This stores the ticker ID of the stock being analyzed.
sector = syminfo.sector: This retrieves the sector to which the stock belongs. If the sector information is unavailable, it assigns the value "N/A".
Dynamic Inputs: Several input parameters allow you to customize the indicator:
adrp_len: Defines the length for ADR% calculation.
len: Defines the moving average length for volume.
tbl_size, bg_col, and txt_col: Control the table's appearance, including the size of the text, background color, and text color.
posTable: Allows positioning of the table on the chart. Options include top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right.
show_empty_row: Adds an empty row above the displayed values if set to true.
Volume Unit Handling (f_vol_unit): This function converts volume into appropriate units, like thousands (K), millions (M), or billions (B), to make volume easier to read. It’s applied to both the current volume and the average daily volume.
Moving Averages for Indexes (f_ma_indexes): This function calculates the 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) for an index (such as Russell 2000 or Nasdaq 100). It also checks whether the MAs are inline, meaning if shorter MAs are above longer MAs, which is usually a bullish sign. It returns the result as "YES" or "NO" and assigns a color (green for yes, red for no).
Volume and Price Data: The script fetches several important data points:
vol_display: Current volume in human-readable units.
avgDaVol: Average daily volume.
adrp: Average Daily Range (ADR%) over a specified length.
fcf_yield_percent: Free Cash Flow Yield percentage.
ADR Calculation: The ADR% is calculated using the formula 100 * (ta.sma(high / low, adrp_len) - 1) and is fetched for the daily timeframe.
FCF Yield Color Logic: The Free Cash Flow yield is classified into three categories:
Green: Undervalued if FCF yield is over 5%.
Yellow: Neutral between 2-5%.
Red: Overvalued if below 2%.
MA's Inline Check for the Stock: The script checks if the stock's 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages are inline (i.e., in a bullish alignment where shorter MAs are higher than longer MAs).
Float % Calculation: The float percentage is calculated as the ratio of float shares outstanding (FSO) to total shares outstanding (TSO). The color is set based on its breakout potential:
Red: Below 20% (manipulation risk).
Green: 20-50% (ideal breakout range).
Yellow: Above 50%.
Price Change %: The script calculates the percentage change in price between the current and previous close.
Volume Color Logic: The color of the "Current Volume" is based on whether it indicates buying or selling pressure:
Green: Volume is higher than average, and the price increased more than ADR%.
Red: Volume is higher than average, and the price decreased more than ADR%.
Yellow: Default color if neither condition is met.
Market Cap: The market cap is calculated by multiplying the total shares outstanding (TSO) by the current close price, and it’s displayed in a human-readable unit (K, M, or B).
Display Table:
A table is created to display all the calculated data in an organized manner. It includes fields for Market Cap, Avg Volume, ADR%, Current Volume, FCF Yield %, Float %, MA's Inline status, and Sector. Additionally, it shows the inline status for the Russell 2000, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500.
How to Use:
Customization: Users can customize the inputs, including the length of ADR% and volume moving averages, and adjust the table size, text color, and position.
Visualization: The indicator provides a comprehensive table on the chart showing key data points for technical analysis, including whether moving averages are inline for both the stock and major indexes.
This indicator is particularly useful for swing traders or technical analysts who want a clear overview of a stock’s volume, volatility (via ADR%), and the alignment of moving averages, combined with fundamental metrics like market cap and free cash flow yield.
Percentage GridPercentage Grid Indicator
Description:
The Percentage Grid indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying significant support and resistance levels based on yearly percentage changes. This indicator plots horizontal lines on the chart from the start of the year, allowing you to customize how much percentage each line represents. Currently, you can set up to 5 horizontal lines, each representing a different percentage change from the beginning of the year.
For instance, when applied to the SBI Bank stock, you can customize the lines to display various percentage changes from the start of the year, such as 20%, 25%, and up to 35%, as the SBIN stock is currently trading around these levels. This visualization helps traders to easily identify key levels where price action tends to react, providing valuable insights for making trading decisions.
Principles of Trading Technical Analysis:
The Percentage Grid indicator is grounded in the principle of support and resistance levels, which are fundamental concepts in technical analysis. These levels are specific price points on a chart that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price from getting pushed in a certain direction. The indicator helps in:
Identifying Support Levels: Price levels where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of buying interest.
Identifying Resistance Levels: Price levels where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest.
By customizing and plotting percentage-based horizontal lines, the indicator highlights these critical levels based on the percentage change from the start of the year.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Search for "Percentage Grid" in the TradingView indicator library and add it to your chart.
Customize Percentage Levels:
Access the indicator settings to customize the percentage change each line represents.
You can set up to 5 different percentage levels. For example, you can set lines at 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40%.
Interpret the Grid Lines:
The plotted lines will represent the specified percentage changes from the start of the year.
Use these lines to identify potential support and resistance levels where price action is likely to react.
Practical Application:
Look for price bounces or reversals around these levels, which can indicate strong support or resistance.
Combine the Percentage Grid with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages or trend lines, to confirm potential trading opportunities.
Example:
In the accompanying screenshot, the Percentage Grid is applied to the SBI Bank stock. The lines are set to display 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% changes from the start of the year. Notice how the price action respects these levels, providing clear areas where support and resistance are evident.
By incorporating the Percentage Grid into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to identify key price levels and make more informed trading decisions.
Happy Trading!

Main Features:
Entries Enhancements
Inducements HTF
High/Low Markings HTF
Multiple Timeframes and Confluences on Extreme, Dec and SMT Order Blocks
By integrating these concepts into one, traders can identify high-probability zones across multiple timeframes and develop a thorough understanding of market dynamics. These confluence zones enhance order block skills and potential, establishing them as essential pillars in smart money trading strategies and enabling traders to make more informed decisions.
Settings Overview:

Extreme Order Blocks HTF
Decisional Order Blocks HTF
Smart Money Traps HTF
IDM Demands and Supplies HTF
Historical Order Blocks HTF
OB Mitigation HTF {touch/ extended}
Understanding the Features:
Chapter 1: Entries Enhancements
In this chapter, we delve into strategies to refine trading entries, focusing on the multi-timeframe analysis of extreme or decisional order blocks in the High Time Frame timeframe as a key point of interest. We highlight the significance of transitioning to the Low Time Frame chart for observing pivotal shifts in market behavior. By examining these concepts, traders can gain deeper insights into market dynamics and make more informed entries decisions at critical junctures.
Practical Example:
We had an Order Block Extreme on the 1-hour timeframe, and currently, we are on the recommended chart for trade entry, which is the 5-minute timeframe. We are patiently waiting to observe a 5-minute ChoCh in the market to enter a buying position since it's an OB Extreme Demand on the 1-hour timeframe. Here, it's crucial and important to focus on the entry timeframe rather than checking what's happening in the higher timeframe. The indicator facilitates this task as it provides us with real-time perspective and visibility of everything happening in the higher timeframe.
Chapter 2: Inducements HTF
It is important and useful to be aware of the various liquidity points across the different timeframes we use; sometimes, a reliable entry point in the Lower Time Frame (LTF) may be surrounded by inducements. Consequently, this point becomes unreliable, and prior to the arrival of this functionality, such anomalies could not be detected, especially when focusing on the market in the LTF. From now on, there will be no more such issues.
Practical Example:
Suppose we identify an Order Block Extreme on the 5M timeframe, indicating a potential entry level. However, when we switch to the 5M timeframe to look for an entry point, we observe an accumulation of inducements around this Order Block coming from a higher timeframe, whether it's M15 or H1. This suggests a potential weakness in the entry point and significant market liquidity, which will act as a trap zone.
