IchiBot - [SigmaStreet]
The IchiBot Indicator has been used to develop automated trading systems. It leverages the open-source Ichimoku framework provided by Trading View, to enable users to creatively generate over 1 trillion different combinations of trading conditions with the use of multiple timeframes to create unique “signal labels” that can be used to create custom strategies or provide in depth market analysis. At the end of this description, I have provided an example of input settings for a simple scalping strategy that I have back tested on US30 on the 5 minute timeframe.
Overview of the Settings:
The visuals section includes an option to show or hide certain parts of the indicator and change the size of the signal labels plotted on the chart.
Next to the “Signal color on baseline/candles” section, you can choose if you want to see additional signals generations from the most previous plotted label on a color changing baseline, or color changing candles. A color change from gray to blue/red indicate that the conditions from the most previously plotted signal label have been met again.
The next 5 sections are all related to the strategy portion of the indicator, used to aid in the back testing process. These sections are titled “Stop loss”, “Take Profit”, “Trail Stop”, “Trade Settings” and “Trade Schedule”.
The Stop Loss section includes an option to choose between value of “pts”, “atr” (average true range) or “None”. The stop loss value in “pts” is simply a specified number of points or pips from the current entry price of a trade that are input in the “SL” section. If the stop loss type is “atr” the “SL” section is not used and the value is calculated and displaced from the current entry price of a trade based on the atr period multiplied by the atr multiplier.
The take profit section is based on the same logic as the stop loss.
The Trail Stop section includes an option to choose between values “pts” or “None”. If the Trail Stop value is “pts”, a trailing stop loss is activated if a trade moves a point value into profit that exceeds the value of the “Trail Activation”. If the Trail Offset type is “pts”, the trailing stop loss is placed a point value away from the current price that is equal to the “Trail Offset” value.
The trade settings section has two options to either prevent or allow trade reversals and prevent or allow only 1 trade per signal label.
If the “Don’t allow trade reversals” is on, then a currently active trade can not be cancelled by an opposite trade signal. It can only be cancelled by the exit logic selected in the above sections. If the “One trade per signal” is selected, the strategy will only enter a trade if the most recent signal label is different from the last signal label where a trade was entered, or if the most recent signal label is in the opposite direction of the most recent signal label where a trade was entered.
The trade schedule section includes an option to only generate signal labels during the specified time. You can choose between 24/7 which will generate signals without any time restriction, or you can choose a custom time which is based on the America / New York time zone.
The timeframe settings section includes an option to choose “single” or “multiple” timeframes, as well as an option to show every signal label combination (“all”), or only the signal labels with the highest numerical value (“absolute”).
If you select “single” next to “timeframe”, the indicator will show you labels based on trade conditions met from only 1 selected timeframe. If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe”, the indicator is designed to return signal labels based on trade conditions that have been met on at least 2 different timeframes.
If you select “multiple” and “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels that always include a minimum of 2 timeframes where 1 timeframe is always the current timeframe. If you unselect the “use current timeframe”, the indicator will include labels with a minimum of 2 timeframes.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “all” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will show you every possible combination of labels that vary from trade conditions met on a minimum of 2 timeframes, to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
If you select “multiple” next to “timeframe” and “absolute” next to “Show all/absolute labels”, the indicator will only show you labels where the numerical value is equivalent to the maximum number of timeframes selected.
Each signal label provides a number which refers to the number of timeframes used to generate the label, offering insights briefly. Hover over a label to reveal detailed tooltip information that details the exact timeframes used to generate each label.
You can choose all from “Show all/absolute labels” to see every possible combination of trade signals or “absolute” to only see labels that have the highest possible numerical value. Absolute means that every condition selected from every timeframe was calculated to be true at the same time on the same candle.
The next 8 sections are “Current timeframe trade conditions”, “1-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “5-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “15-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “30-minute timeframe trade conditions”, “1-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “4-hour timeframe trade conditions”, “Daily timeframe trade conditions”.
These sections include the same 10 trade conditions, that can be used independently, or in combination with each other. This brings the total number of trade conditions to 70.
The final section includes a standard option to adjust the current Ichimoku values.
Understanding the Calculations:
The term “future” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the right of the most recent closing price.
The term “current” refers to a value that is calculated on the most recent closing price.
The term “past” refers to a value that is calculated 26 candles to the left of the most recent closing price.
Bullish is referred to as “blue” and bearish is referred to as “red”.
Buy Signals:
1. The current closing price is greater than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is blue.
3. The current closing price is greater than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is greater than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is greater than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is greater than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is greater than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is greater than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is greater than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely blue.
Sell Signals:
1. The current closing price is less than the current cloud value.
2. The future cloud is red.
3. The current closing price is less than the current conversion line.
4. The current conversion line is less than the current baseline.
5. The lagging span is less than the closing price of the last 25 candles.
6. The lagging span is less than the past cloud.
7. The lagging span is less than the past conversion line and the past baseline.
8. The current conversion line is less than the current cloud.
9. The current baseline is less than the current cloud.
10. The value of the current cloud to the future cloud is completely red.
The script enables users to access the value of these 10 trade conditions across the 7 major time frames (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, Daily, and the current charts time frame) by using the official non repainting request security function provided by Trading View:
f_secSecurity(_src, _res, _exp) =>
request.security(_src, _res, _exp )
This indicator provides up to 70 variables (10 variables X 7 timeframes) that can be used separately, or in combination to generate signal labels.
Enhance your visual analysis with a color-changing baseline and candle colors that adapt to signal shifts, offering an immediate understanding of market trends. The base line will change from gray to blue/red which will reference the most previously plotted signal label. This change in color indicate that the conditions from the most recently plotted signal label have been met once again. Please refer to the example below.
Adjustments to the Ichimoku Indicator:
The script uses a slightly refined version of the Ichimoku indicator to calculate 10 different “trade conditions”. Each trade condition can create 1 bullish signal label and 1 bearish signal label. The calculations are primarily based on “greater than and less than logic” which is standard for signal generation.
In the original Ichimoku calculations, the “Lagging Span” has a default value of 26 periods. In the actual calculations, this input with the title “Lagging Span” is referred to as the “displacement”. When the lagging span is plotted on the chart, it is plotted with an offset value of offset = -displacement + 1 which technically plots the lagging span 25 candles to the left the most recent candle (if you count the most recent closing price as 0 and not 1). The clouds are plotted with an offset of offset = displacement -1 which technically plots the clouds 25 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
I have adjusted the logic of the Ichimoku indicator so the lagging span is still plotted 25 candles to the left of the most recently confirmed candle close, but the cloud is plotted 26 candles to the right of the most recent confirmed candle close.
This seemingly small adjustment of one candle cannot simply be adjusted in the settings of the original Ichimoku indicator since the calculations of the cloud and lagging span displacements are directly affected by the same value (displacement = 26, also known as the “lagging span”). My script is adjusted to make calculations where the lagging span is 25 candles to the left of the most recent candle, and the cloud is displaced 26 candles to the right of the most recent candle.
For example, my scripts logic to detect if the current closing price is over the current cloud is (close > leadLead1 and close > leadLine2 and leadLine1 > leadLine2 . By using a lookback of , the logic assumes that the displaced value is 26 bars to the right of the most recent candle. My script also reflects this logic in the plotted values of the cloud where the offset values are offset = displacement. This adjustment is made without affecting any other part of the Ichimoku indicators calculations, only the displacement of the cloud which directly affects the logic of trade conditioins. This change is a deliberate and necessary function of this script’s logic to generate trade conditions and signal labels.
I’ve removed the conversion line and the lagging span and introduced a 26-period pivot high/low to provide a less cluttered chart. The pivot high/low looks 26 periods to the left and only 1 period to the right. The lagging span and conversion line logic is still built into the framework of the trading signals. If you choose to enable the lagging span, or conversion line.
trading approach, and always test your strategies thoroughly.
The function to generate the "Signal Labels" calculates every single possible combination of the 7 different timeframes which is a total of 127 combinations for bullish signal labels, and 127 combinations for bearish signal labels. This function also provides the necessary criteria for the strategy entry conditions, based on the dynamically calculated values derived from the signal labels themselves. For example: "buy signal on 1 minute and 5 minute timeframe" is considered 1 combination, and "Buy signal on current, 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 4 hour and daily timeframe" is also considered 1 combination. There are a total of 254 combinations between buy and sell signal labels along with 254 individual variables with their own unique tool tip description. The signal label function alone spans over 1340 lines of code (minus spaces and comments) to specifically account for every possible variable combination. This unique and original function also calculates the signal label "value" which is the number you see on the signal label. This function adjusts the amount of labels plotted, the value and description of all labels based on the timeframe settings "single"/"multiple", the use of "use current timeframe" setting, and the "trade schedule". This signal label function has been a landmark piece of code for me in my endeavor to create and optimize my strategies based on its ability to provide an in depth analysis of the timeframes used when generating signal labels. This function is main reason that this script has been published closed source.

[Round Numbers] Signal Clean Up Analysis with Backtest (TSO)Round Numbers NEW GEN indicator!
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
This is a full-cycle trading system indicator - it will show and alert each step of the trade from open to close. The algorithm here uses Round Numbers for generating signals, TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels. Round numbers play big role in trading and can easily become strong support and resistance levels where price can bounce and go the opposite way or go through with a very nice run afterwards.
In addition there is a chained (NOTE: You can select several or ALL of the features, this is not limited to either one) signal cleanup and analysis approach with scheduling and alerting capabilities. Works with most popular timeframes: 1M, 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D.
NOTE: Every action of the trade is calculated on a confirmed closed candle bar state (barstate.isconfirmed), so the indicator will never repaint!
NOTE: At position open - there will be calculated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, however each target is considered hit, when candle bar closes breaking that target, so Take-Profit and Stop-Loss when hit will slightly differ then what you see at trade/position open.
===========================================================================
===========================================================================
Round Numbers up|down unit setting and overall explanation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round Number up|down unit: is the distance between round numbers on the chart. Since these round number levels are also used by the algorithm to open/close trades, it is important to set this setting to a logical number, which will correspond to an average price movement of the instrument.
Here are some examples for a few popular instruments on what will the default 1 round number unit correspond to and what would be suggested:
BTCUSD > $1 (this won't work for Bitcoin, try at least $100 - 100units)
SPY: > $1 (one of the best settings for SPY or QQQ, 50cents shows good results as well - 0.5units)
FOREX (all major pairs): > 10PIPs (that may be a bit small, unless scalping, try 50PIPs - 5units)

===========================================================================
Date Range and Trading Schedule Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Date Range: Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for backtesting results, if not using backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
>>>>> Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see backtesting results
NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case you will need to manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
>>>>> Trading Schedule: This is where you can setup Intraday Session or any custom session schedule you wish. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume you are holding your position open until next day!). Please note the EOD trade closure times with the 2 different Intraday close settings when turned on:
At Market Close:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:55pm ET
15min > will close at 15:45pm ET
30min > will close at 15:30pm ET
45min > will close at 15:45pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
Before Power Hour:
1/3/5min > will close at 15:00pm ET
15min > will close at 15:00pm ET
30min > will close at 15:00pm ET
45min > will close at 15:00pm ET
60min > will close at 15:00pm ET
>>> Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/trunning, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on).
>>> Turn On/Off: Current Position SL + Opposite Position Open Signal on the same closing candle bar (If current trade hits Stop-Loss and at that same closing candle bar there is a signal for an opposite direction trade > indicator will close current position as Stop-Loss and immediately open an opposite position). NOTE: With this option turned on, there will be more trades, but not necessarily better results, since after Stop-Loss is hit, it may make sense to wait a little before opening an opposite trade, even if it matches the condition at the same time when Stop-Loss is hit, but sometimes it shows great results, so this setting/feature is included. NOTE: This setting only will work/make sense with TP and SL style/behavior both be set to "Fully Closed Candle"!
>>> Turn On/Off: Turn On/Off: Current Position REGULAR SL | Only the SL + Opposite Position Open will trigger if turned on, IF NOT - THERE WILL BE NO STOP-LOSS AT ALL!!! NOTE: It is very dangerous to trade without Stop-Loss!
>>>>> Signal Candle Bar consuming Take-Profits - position/trade signal candle bar is big enough to "consume"/close ahead the first TP setting > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit areas pushed ahead using smart formula)
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit) ||| 2) Dynamic – Once the trade is open, only the 1st Take-Profit target is calculated, once the 1st Take-Profit is hit > next Take-Profit distance is calculated based on the distance from trade Entry to where 1st Take-Profit was taken, once 2nd Take-Profit is taken > 3rd Take-Profit is calculated per same logic, these are good for price momentum as with price speeding up – profits increase as well!
>>>>> MULTIPROFIT: SL (stop loss) System | Static: SL is set at position open and remains such; Dynamic: Once ANY TP is taken > SL will be moved to Entry; Trailing: SL will be moved along the position (smart trailing stop-loss), at TP1 taken > SL moves to Entry, at TP2 taken > SL moves to TP1, at TP3 taken > SL moves to TP2 and so on.
>>>>> # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where you select the number of Take-Profit targets for your trading system (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
>>>>> TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where you can turn on a customizable offset, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > you will capture it. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…
===========================================================================
Dynamic/Static/Trailing Take-Profit and Stop-Loss visual examples:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Fully Static Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
This one is a fully static setup for both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss, you can also observe how trade is closed right before the Power Hour (trade can be closed right before Power Hour or right before Market Closes or left overnight as desired).
2) Static/Dynamic, Static Take-Profit and Dynamic Stop-Loss
You can see a static Take-Profit set at position open, while Stop-Loss moves to Entry once TP1 target is taken.
3) Static/Trailing, Static Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
In here with each Take-Profit taken, Stop-Loss moves along the trade to previous Take-Profit level, you can notice how stop-loss literally follows the trade and reduces the potential loss.
4) Dynamic/Trailing, Dynamic Take-Profit and Trailing Stop-Loss
See how Take-Profit distances increase with price momentum. Just like in previous example - Trailing Stop-Loss is following the trade and reducing the riks.
===========================================================================
Signal Analysis and Cleanup Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Candle Color signal confirmation: If closed candle bar color does not match the signal direction > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip opposite candle signals: If closed candle bar color will match the signal direction, but candle structure will be opposite (for example: bearish green hammer, long high stick on top of a small green square) > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Candle Analysis | Skip doji candle signals: If closed candle bar will be the uncertain doji > no trade will be open.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | EWO (Elliot Wave Oscillator) signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, EWO is green or will be at bullish slope (you can select which setting you desire), SHORT if EWO is red or will be at bearish slope.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | VWAP signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above VWAP, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | Moving Average signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above selected Moving Average, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | ATR signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, the price will be above ATR, SHORT if below.
>>>>> Divergence/Oscillator Analysis | RSI + MACD signal confirmation: LONG will only be open if at signal, RSI + MACD will be bullish, SHORT if RSI + MACD will be bearish.
>>>>> Volume signal confirmation: LONG/SHORT will only be opened with strong Volume matching the signal direction, by default, strong Volume percentage is set to 150% and weak to 50%, but you can change it as you desire.

TP System - VERY IMPORTANT INFO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" - amount by which current trade/position needs to be reduced/partially closed/sold.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be closed will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be closed will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TP PERCENTAGE" CheatSheet (these are the only percentages you may see)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TP PERCENTAGE---Close/Sell Amount-------------Example (trade size: 50 stocks)
20%-------------trade size * 0.2--------------50 * 0.2 = 10 stocks
25%-------------trade size * 0.25-------------50 * 0.25 = 12.5(~13) stocks
34%-------------trade size * 0.34-------------50 * 0.34 = 17 stocks
40%-------------trade size * 0.4--------------50 * 0.4 = 20 stocks
50%-------------trade size * 0.5--------------50 * 0.5 = 25 stocks
60%-------------trade size * 0.6--------------50 * 0.6 = 30 stocks
66%-------------trade size * 0.66-------------50 * 0.66 = 33 stocks
75%-------------trade size * 0.75-------------50 * 0.75 = 37.5(~38) stocks
80%-------------trade size * 0.8--------------50 * 0.8 = 40 stocks
100%------------trade size--------------------50 = 50 stocks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If for any reason a portion of the current/remaining trade closed at such occurrence was slightly wrong, it is not an issue. Such occurrences are rare and with slight difference in partial TP closed is not significant to overall performance of our algorithms.

Adding Alerts in TradngView
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Add indicator to chart and make sure the correct strategy is configured (check Backtesting results)
-Right-click anywhere on the TradingView chart
-Click on Add alert
-Condition: Select this indicator by it’s name
-Immediately below, change it to "alert() function calls only", as other wise there will be 2 alerts for every alert!
-Expiration: Open-ended (that may require higher tier TradingView account, otherwise the alert will need to be occasionally re-triggered)
-Alert name: Whatever you desire
-Hit “Create”
-Note: If you change ANY Settings within the indicator – you must DELETE the current alert and create a new one per steps above, otherwise it will continue triggering alerts per old Settings!
===========================================================================
If you have any questions or issues with the indicator, please message me directly via TradingView.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Luck! (NOTE: Trading is very risky, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, so please trade responsibly!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There seems to be a strange glitch when strategy is running live, it will show "double-take" take-profits labels on the chart. This is not affecting the script logic and backtesting results, if you simply change the timeframe real quick to something else then back - it will no longer show the duplicate orders... this must be some sort of a glitch as every alert was thoroughly tested to make sure everything is working!

TENKAN SCALPER STRATEGYTENKAN SCALP is a fully automatic trading system.
It is a continuation of our previous ichimoku release. This time however we throw out the rule book and use ICHIMOKU in a very different way.
It applies non traditional money management tactics.
While most trading strategies rely on a stop loss and a take profit target to manage risk. This strategy uses either no stop loss at all or a time based stop loss.
You might ask yourself the question why would you keep a trade open if it goes against you? Here are a phew reasons why the script does what it does.
Forex Markets consolidate most of the time. If you wait long enough your Take Profit will get hit anyways most of the time
You don't have to risk everything per trade. I keep my orders small so to keep some powder to get into some more trades
All the extra trades you take while one trade is in drawdown limit the drawdown as they provide cashflow
On lower timeframes the markets are so chaotic that a stop loss is very likely to get hit by a wick
About backtest below
This backtest uses a spread of 2 pips for entries and a default position size of 100% of equity. This is only possible on exchanges where spread is low and you have 10:1 leverage or more. It does not represent results obtainable without leverage. Do take into account that there are a lot of forex exchanges that provide this leverage, however a 2 pip spread is not always guaranteed and only applies to major pairs.
This backtest does not use the TIME BASED STOPS functionality.
Always start with small position sizing and see how the strategy performs before adding risk.
Explanation of variables:
Chikou(lagging span): pink line, this is price plotted 26 bars ago. People ignore the power of this it is crucial to see how chikou behaves towards past price action as seen in the chart below where we got an entry at red arrow because chikou bounced from past fractal bottom.
Kijun-Sen(base line): Black line or color coded line. This is the equilibrium of last 26 candles. To me this is the most important line in the system as it attracts price.
Kijun = (Highest high of 26 periods + Lowest low of 26 periods) ÷ 2
Tenkan-Sen(conversion line): Blue line. This is the equilibrium of last 9 candles. In a strong uptrend price stays above this line.
Tenkan = (Highest high of 9 periods + Lowest low of 9 periods) ÷ 2
Senkou A (Leading span A)= Pink cloud line, this is the average of the 2 components projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou A = (Tenkan + Kijun) ÷ 2
Senkou B (Leading span B) = Green cloud line, this is the 52 day equilibrium projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou B = (Highest high of prior 52 periods + Lowest low of prior 52 periods) ÷ 2
projection: Script uses same function for variable calculation and substracts a number on each next bar as to make a projection of where the variable will be in future bars if price stayed the same. This works as ICHIMOKU calculations use the middle point of a past set of data. The shorter that amount of bars will be in line with the data that it will be restricted to in future if price stayed the same.
Detection of Market Environment
To enter trades the script uses a lot of ICHIMOKU concepts. Contrary to how most people trade ICHIMOKU this script takes an environment that ICHIMOKU identifies as trending upwards and shorts in that environment. The same will be applied to a downtrend where it will open LONGS.
List of CRITERIA for a trend:
Grapling Hook: this is a component based on the chikou span (closing price displaced 26 bars into the past). The script will use an ATR based range to define a possible future projection to the CHIKOU line. For a market to be bullish there should be no price action happening within this area. Market is free to move upwards. Vice versa for bearish .
Kumo Cloud: script will check if price is above the cloud for bullish trend and below cloud for bearish trend .
Chikou above Kijun: script will check if the chikou line is above the KIJUN line of 26 bars ago. This is further confirmation that price is trending high enough compared to it's past data. Vice versa for downtrend.
Kijun projection: script will check if past Kijun is lower than future projected Kijun. This to ensure we get an equilibrium in our favour in the future. Vice versa for downtrend
Tenkan projection: script will check if future Tenkan-sen will be higher than Kijun-sen for an uptrend. Vice versa for downtrend.
Cloud projection: script will check if in 9 bars the Senkou Span A will be higher than Senkou Span B for an uptrend. Vice versa for downtrend.
Example:
This script does not visualise the prediction lines like I show in the example. I show them here to clarify how the script works.
Usage
Backtests are not indicative of future results, although a trader may want to use a strategy script to have a deeper understanding of how their strategy responds to varying market conditions, or as a tool for identifying possible flaws for a strategy that may be indicative of good or bad performance in the future.
Strategy Settings:
Minimum Body Size (atr): this is the minimum ATR a signal bar needs to be for entry. This is useful because our TP is based on previous bar.
Lot size per trade: this setting does not impact backtest. It is used to for the signals to let tradingconnect.com know your position size.
Direction: do you want to trade longs or shorts. I personally use both a long bot and a short bot at the same time.
Positions Allowed: the amount of positions the script will keep open as a maximum. You do not want to open too many positions, this is for risk management.
Close all positions at drawdown: if total open positions loss gets to this % target it will close all positions.
MetaTrader Prefix: when the script sends a signal it will put this text right before the symbol name from syminfo.ticker
MetaTrader Suffix: when the script sends a signal it will put this text right after the symbol name from syminfo.ticker
Charts below are some examples on how the script handles orders on default settings:
without time based SL
with time based SL
how it handles pyramiding
www.tradingview.com
Tradingconnector.com:
For full automation of the forex market the script uses this connector to execute trade on MT4. The alerts the script sends using the alerts() function call are structured in a way tradingconnector will recognise and send directly to MT4. You can find documentation about this tool on their own website.
Personal recommendation is to start with a minimum lot size and track performance, if you are comfortable scale the size up. You can do that by increasing the lot size setting in the script and making a new alert. Make sure to delete the old one.

Self Optimizing Supertrend [Starbots]Self Optimizing Supertrend Strategy. (non-repainting)
Script constantly tests 15 Supertrend combinations for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination.
You will notice that signal lines switch after a bar close sometimes, this is when the strategy optimizes to the better combination and change plots, strategy is dynamic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Average True Range (ATR)
The Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility. Unlike many of today's popular indicators, the ATR is not used to indicate the direction of price. Rather, it is a metric used solely to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
# Supertrend
A Super Trend is a trend following indicator similar to moving averages. It is plotted on price and the current trend can simply be determined by its placement vis-a-vis price. It is a very simple indicator and is constructed with the help of just two parameters- period and multiplier.
When we construct the Supertrend indicator strategy, the default parameters are 10 for Average True Range (ATR) and 3 for its multiplier. The average true range (ATR) plays a key role in ‘Supertrend’ as the indicator uses ATR to compute its value and it signals the degree of price volatility.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Turn on Supertrend Profit Dashboard and spot the worst/best performing combination. You can change them to get the best performance overall.
-Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01 / 01 /2020 to 01 / 01 /2023'.
-Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the fifth buying condition (5. Supertrend Factor) parameter in your menu (1.6 by default) if you turn this on.
*I recommend 'Optimizing Range' turned off actually, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization script.
- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available, insert webhook messages.
- Turn on Profit Calendar for better overview of how your strategy performs monthly/annualy
- Recommended ATR Length : 10 (default), higher timeframes usually performs good on the shorter period lengths 6-10, smaller timeframes on the larger ATR period length 10-20.
- Recommended Sources : hl2 (default Supertrend), close, hlc3, hlcc4 (when scalping/day trading and market is uptrending good, you can use 'volume' as a source, comes in handy)
- Recommended Smoothing Moving Average for ATR : We smooth the ATR calculation with moving average, traders usually use SMA as a moving average here, but you can use alternatives like EMA, HMA. Try them if this improves your results.
- Recommended TF : 15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d (low timeframes works good if you have no fees like Binance currently do on BTC for example otherwise you probably want to use 1/2h+ chart)
- Supertrend Factor parameters : pre-set Supertrend Factors are very good and common in trading world, you don't need to change them, but you can do it at free will. Traders usually use Supertrend factor of 2 or 3, use parameters around this numbers.
- Notes window : add your custom comments in or save your webhook message text inside here for later use.
- Trading Session: in a session, you have to specify the time range for every day. It will trade only within this window and close trades when it's out. Session from 9am to 5pm will look like that: 0900-1700 or 7am to 4:30pm 0700-1630. After the colon, you can specify days of the week for your trading session. 1234567 trading all days, 23456 – Monday to Friday ('1 is Sunday here'). 0000-0000:1234567 by default will trade every day nonstop. 00.00am to 00.00pm and 1234567 every day of the week for example - Cryptocurrencies.
This script is simple to use for any trader as it saves a lot of time for searching good parameters on your own. It's self-optimizing and adjusting to the markets on the go.
Self Optimizing MACD [Starbots]Self Optimizing MACD Strategy. (non-repainting)
Script constantly tests 15 MACD combinations for maximum profitability and trades based on the best performing combination.
You will notice that signal lines switch sometimes, this is when the strategy optimizes to the better combination and change plots, strategy is dynamic.
There are a lot of black - shadow lines, this are the signals that are not currently active, but script keeps checking and valuating every one of them on every bar close. I recommend using dark mode chart for better view.
MACD /Signal lines in Blue/ Orange are the best performing combination and active at the moment.
*Histogram bars are always displayed based on the default MACD setting (12,26,9) - to keep the script running fast and smoothly. It's not changing plots unlike MACD /Signal lines.
-Turn on MACD Profit Dashboard and spot the worst performing combination to change it and get the better performance overall.
-Backtesting Range - backtest within your desired time window. Example: 'from 01/01/2020 to 01/01/2023'
-Optimizing range - you can decrease the amount of bars/data for optimizing script. This way you can keep it up to date to more recent market by selecting optimizing range to optimize it just from the recent 3-6months of data for example. Strategy before this selected range will normally trade (backtest) based on the first MACD parameters in your menu (12,26,9 by default) if you turn this on.
*I recommend 'Optimizing Range' turned off actually, use max amount of available bars in your history for optimization
- Strategy is trading on the bar close without repaint. You can trade Long-Sell or Long- Short. Alerts available.

TUE Argentum Algo V1This algorithm is designed to look trend for opening conditions, apply various filters including volume and volatility, then determine stop outs, break evens, and take profits.
The algorithm uses proprietary math based on the concepts of volatility, standard deviations, average true ranges, and volume to help determine trend. You can filter based on cumulative volume delta, volatility, and moving average based trend. It includes settings for either trend following or contrarian trades, and the ability to go long, short, or both.
The take profit areas are based on proprietary math that help find peaks and valleys. You can adjust the size of the take profits as a percentage of the position, change to static take profits (i.e. take profit in 16 ticks), or use both. You can also disable them and use the natural closing conditions of the trades (detection of trend change in the opposite direction).
Our algo works in any market and will allow user to adjust input settings to be used on any ticker they'd like. It is built as a strategy so you can back test on any ticker to find the exact right settings to dial it in and then switch to live trading mode to see signals. Can be used for day trades or swing trades.
Automated Trading
This algo has been tested and certified to work for automated trading.
Works on Forex
It's confirmed to work on forex so you can trade that market.
Gets you into long successful trades, and gets out of poor ones quickly
It keeps you in the long trades taking small profits along the way, but cuts losers quickly in comparison. This style leads to a high profit factor.
It looks at many variables so you don't have to
- Uses trend analysis for opening/closing conditions.
- It measures the strength of trends to help determine if it should enter or not.
- It uses volume, if the user wants, to help filter entries. The volume calculation is based off of my proprietary cumulative volume delta indicator and helps find if the volume is moving long or short.
- It uses proprietary take profit math to help find peaks and valleys to peel off profits. It is based on the changes in momentum of the underlying.
- It allows for stop outs and break evens based on volatility so they'll always adjust with the movement of the underlying ticker (see the blue lines above and below the opening in the chart).
- It allows for offset break evens to keep a portion of the profit.
Strategy for the Algo
Included so you can understand how to trade with it.
ONE: After loading this strategy onto a ticker turn off volume if it's a ticker with no volume , set the dates at the bottom to when the stock is active (you want to start backtesting when a stock started trading like it trades currently).
TWO: From there adjust the short term trend settings to find the highest win rate and profit factor.
THREE: Then adjust the volume length to find the highest win rate and profit factor. It's important while doing these that you pay attention to a smooth upward equity curve.
FOUR: After this has been done now adjust the long and short risk multipliers. This determines your stop out.
FIVE: Then adjust breakeven multipliers - this is the level at which it changes to a breakeven stop out instead of the previous one. You can also set an offset to keep a small part of the profit.
SIX: Finally adjust the take profit sizes.
SEVEN: Once this is all done go back through the list and adjust up and down by one or two clicks and see if a better curve can be obtained. Very frequently long and short trades have different settings.
EIGHT: When you are finished save the settings in a custom indicator template and put it with it's own chart.
Additional
The settings shown on screen are not the default settings, but are settings chosen for this ticker and timeframe based on the process above. Nearly every ticker and timeframe will require adjustment from default, that's why the algorithm is built to be highly flexible. It can fit any ticker and timeframe, as well as market environment.
This particular setup has the algo running a scalping program on ES 3 min with a 16 tick static target. This algorithm can be set up as a scalper, or used to day trade more regularly. It can also swing trade.
As shown here the algo includes $1.25 of commissions and 1 tick of slippage on all orders (about our average for automated trading on ES).
Strategy Myth-Busting #13 - MultiEMA+BXTrender - [SP/MYN]#13 on the Myth-Busting bench, we are automating the "I Found The Highest Win Rate 15 Minute Scalping Trading Strategy Ever" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 410% profit over 100 trades within 6 months on Natural Gas with 79 Wins / 21 Losses with an astounding 3.96% Max Drawdown.
It was quite challenging emulating the same subjective EMA pullback logic along with the dependent sequencing of events necessary to enter a trade and we might improve on this to make it better in the future. Super kudos to @spdoinkal who helped with this strategy. If you have ideas on how this could be improved on, would love to hear about them.
As is, we were unable to substantiate similar results to what was manually backtested by TradeIQ, we do however see potential here. Given some optimizations and improvements to the the entry logic accommodating for a wider more variable margin after pullbacks reestablish above/below the fast EMA we think the performance of this strategy could certainly be improved upon. So not sure if we have totally myth busted this completely at this point in time.
This strategy uses a combination of 2 open-source public indicators:
3 EMA's (Trading View Internal)
B-Xtrender by Puppytherapy
Three separate (21), (89) and (200) EMA's are used as a means to confirm and keep entry out of ranged markets. When the 3 EMA's are all clumped up together with no distance it's indicative of a flat or ranged market. This is then used in conjunction with B-XTrender as a means to detect the trend direction. B-XTrender which is a trend following indicator originally published in the IFTA Journal by Bharat Jhunjhunwala. It uses both a short and long term lengths along with a compound EMA used as a means to smooth and sample trend direction.
Trading Rules
15 min candles but other lower time-frames
Stop Loss on previous swing high/low
No Take Profit, Exit on new red/green circles from BX-Trender
Long
EMA Green (21) on top, White (89)in middle and red (200) on bottom and there is distance between EMA's need to be spaced, otherwise in a ranged market
Price action must pull back into 89 EMA (White line) either close or touching it.
Once pullback occurs wait for BX Trender to issue a new green circle and BX Trend line must be green and above 0
Price action must also pull up back above the (Green Line) EMA 21
Short
EMA Red (200) on top, White (89) in middle and Green (21) on bottom and there is distance between EMA's need to be spaced, otherwise in a ranged market
Price action must pull back into 89 EMA (White line) either close or touching it.
Once pullback occurs wait for BX Trender to issue a new red circle and BX Trend line must be red and below 0
Price action must also pull up back below the (green Line) EMA 21

Strategy Myth-Busting #11 - TrendMagic+SqzMom+CDV - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our 11th one is an automated version of the "Magic Trading Strategy : Most Profitable Indicator : 1 Minute Scalping Strategy Crypto" strategy from "Fx MENTOR US" who doesn't make any official claims but given the indicators he was using, it looked like on the surface that this might actually work. The strategy author uses this on the 1 minute and 3 minute timeframes on mostly FOREX and Heiken Ashi candles but as the title of his strategy indicates is designed for Crypto. So who knows..
To backtest this accurately and get a better picture we resolved the Heiken Ashi bars to standard candlesticks . Even so, I was unable to sustain any consistency in my results on either the 1 or 3 min time frames and both FOREX and Crypto. 10000% Busted.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Trend Magic by KivancOzbilgic
Squeeze Momentum by LazyBear
Cumulative Delta Volume by LonesomeTheBlue
Trend Magic consists of two main indicators to validate momentum and volatility. It uses an ATR like a trailing Stop to determine the overarching momentum and CCI as a means to validate volatility. Together these are used as the primary indicator in this strategy. When the CCI is above 0 this is confirmation of a volatility event is occurring with affirmation based upon current momentum (ATR).
The CCI volatility indicator gets confirmation by the the Cumulative Delta Volume indicator which calculates the difference between buying and selling pressure. Volume Delta is calculated by taking the difference of the volume that traded at the offer price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The more volume that is traded at the bid price, the more likely there is momentum in the market.
And lastly the Squeeze Momentum indicator which uses a combination of Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels and Momentum are used to again confirm momentum and volatility. During periods of low volatility, Bollinger bands narrow and trade inside Keltner channels. They can only contract so much before it can’t contain the energy it’s been building. When the Bollinger bands come back out, it explodes higher. When we see the histogram bar exploding into green above 0 that is a clear confirmation of increased momentum and volatile. The opposite (red) below 0 is true when there are low periods. This indicator is used as a means to really determine when there is premium selling plays going on leading to big directional movements again confirming the positive or negative momentum and volatility direction.
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
Trading Rules
1 - 3 min candles
FOREX or Crypto
Stop loss at swing high/low | 1.5 risk/ratio
Long Condition
Trend Magic line is Blue ( CCI is above 0) and above the current close on the bar
Squeeze Momentum's histogram bar is green/lime
Cumulative Delta Volume line is green
Short Condition
Trend Magic line is Red ( CCI is below 0) and below the current close on the bar
Squeeze Momentum's histogram bar is red/maroon
Cumulative Delta Volume line is peach
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

Strategy Myth-Busting #5 - POKI+GTREND+ADX - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our fifth one we are automating is one of the strategies from "The Best 3 Buy And Sell Indicators on Tradingview + Confirmation Indicators ( The Golden Ones ))" from "Online Trading Signals (Scalping Channel)". No formal backtesting was done by them and resuructo messaged me asking if we could validate their claims.
Originally, we mimic verbatim the settings Online Trading Signals was using however weren't getting promising results. So before we stopped there we thought we might want to see if this could be improved on. So we adjusted the Renko Assignment modifier from ATR to Traditional and adjusted the value to be higher from 30 to 47. We also decided to try adding another signal confirmation to eliminate some of the ranged market conditions so we choose our favorite, ADX . Also, given we are using this on a higher time-frame we adjusted the G-Channel Trend detection source from close to OHLC4 to get better average price action indication and more accurate trend direction.
This strategy uses a combination of 2 open-source public indicators:
poki buy and sell Take profit and stop loss by RafaelZioni
G-Channel Trend Detection by jaggedsoft
Trading Rules
15m - 4h timeframe. We saw best results at the recommended 1 hour timeframe.
Long Entry:
When POKI triggers a buy signal
When G-Channel Trend Detection is in an upward trend (Green)
ADX Is above 25
Short Entry:
When POKI triggers a sell signal
When G-Channel Trend Detection is in an downward trend (red)
ADX Is above 25

The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our fourth one we are automating is one of the strategies from "I Found The Best 1 Minute Scalping Strategy That Actually Works! ( Beginner Friendly )" from "Trade Domination" who claims to have made 366% profit on the 1 min chart of Solona despite having a 31% win rate in just a few weeks. As you can see from the backtest results below, I was unable to substantiate anything close to that that claim on the same symbol ( SOLUSD ), timeframe (1m) with identical instrument settings that "Trade Domination" was demonstrating with. Strategy Busted.

The strategy is based on 3 means: fast, slow and trend. RSI is used for filter signals.
Long signals are generated when fast mean crossover slow mean and the price is over the trend mean
Short signals are generated when fast mean crossunder slow mean and the price is under the trend mean
You can choose type of mean between SMA , RMA, EMA , WMA , VWMA as well the source of values between all standard sources
RSI is used to filter the signals:
Long only if RSI is grater than 50 and the SMA of RSI (with the same period as fast mean) is ascending,
Short only if RSI is less than 50 RSI mean is descending
The trade is closed or at reaching of a Take Profit (setting in % of price, in standard forex = 100pip per %) or at reaching of maximum open candles period.
The Stop Loss is set as the lowest/highest value of the "Min/Max SL back candles" candles
Default values gives a good balance for forex, for crypto and commodities you can tweek parameters for better results
in markets with high volatility you can increase Take Profit level but keep maximum number of candles low
[SPOILED]SteadyScalpyHi Traders,
This is my testing strategy which implemented Trading View's trailing stop loss feature. This strategy mainly focus on ETH/USDT perp contract15 minutes timeframe, backtest capital is set to 1000 USDT, 10% equity, 0.04% commission, limited backtest date from Jan 2022 to now, result as shown below. I have faith in this strategy, but still please use only a small amount of money to test, like 5-10% of your total capital.
The strategy contains a couple modules, entry module, trend filter module, take profit, and stop loss module.
How to use:
Stoch RSI:
5 MA types were provided which is HMA / VWMA / WMA / EMA / SMA , HMA with Length setting of 5, 8 seems to be most efficient. VWMA and WMA with 8, 13 will generate less entry signals but with less entry risks.
Price Step:
This is the core feature of this strategy and it is based on Demark9 and price action. With Step 1&2 enabled, it will generate more entry signals. signals can be filtered by trend magic. if disable this option, Stoch RSI will be the only entry signal left in this strategy.
Trend Magic:
Trend Magic uses CCI and ATR to calculate trend status; green means uptrend, red means downtrend, pretty straight forward; the best value for this indicator would be, 21, 34, 55, 89. Only long allow when trend magic turns green and vice versa.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The default value for TP is set to 0.4%. Once the price hits 0.4%, it begins trailing; once the price drawdown 0.01%, it will close trade. The orange line indicates the ATR trailing take profit; once 'close' crosses ATR, it will exit the trade immediately. I also added a failsafe as a final stop loss, when price movement exceeds threshold (default 1%), it will exit trade no matter what.
Enjoy :)
[SPOILED]SuperTrench - ETH Super ScalperHi Traders,
I'm republishing this script as I finally polished it to perfection IMO. The script uses 5 coding sections: entry, trend filter, pivot filter, take profit, and stop loss. The script mainly uses trailing as take profit; this is probably the easiest way to make a profitable scalper strategy.
Backtest capital is set to 1000 USDT, 35% equity, 0.04% commission, limited backtest date from Jan 2022 to now, backtested on ETH/USDT prep contracts 15m timeframe, result as shown below.
It looks unreal right? Hell no, I actually tested this strategy on Binance from Dec 06 to Dec 10. I got 8.29% return with 4x leverage, 50% equity setup; 75% win rate,1.58 profit factor, with 4.3% max drawdown, it is amazingly close to the backtest result.
User Manual
Entry >>> Stoch RSI:
I added 5 MA types to the Stoch RSI which is HMA/VWMA/WMA/EMA/SMA, HMA with Length setting of 5, 8 seems to be most efficient, VWMA and WMA with 8, 13 will generate less entry signals but with less entry risks.
Entry >>> R Style:
It based on price action, with candlestick makes a U turn, after 2nd candlestick confirmed, it generates entry signal, this will give you some extra entries, better leave it enabled.
Entry >>> Price Step:
This probably is the core feature of this strategy; also my secret ingredient to making this strategy this efficient. It is recommended to enable step 1-5, more steps basically means more entries, but they are not necessarily profitable.
Trend Filter >>> Price Step:
I couldn't tell you much details about how this indicator works, but it is a reliable indicator, based on price action, and I got some ideas from Demark9 indicator. The bigger the level, the stronger the filter is, please note that if 'Price Step Entries' less than Price Step Trend, entries will be ignored.
Pivot Filter >>> RSI Pivot & Pinbar Pivot:
RSI Pivot detects if the RSI signal line making U turn in certain condition, Pinbar detection combines R Style entry when price action U turn took place, these 2 pivot filter will close the trade once it is counter trend, so it better enable and leave it as is.
Trend Filter >>> Trend Magic:
Trend Magic uses CCI and ATR to calculate trend status, green means uptrend, red means downtrend, pretty straight forward, the best value for this indicator would be, 21, 34, 55, 89.
Trend Filter >>> Alpha:
This filter combines R style pivot, price step, EMA all together to detects consolidation area, because EMA was involved, so the best look back period would be around 15-35, it is best to use default value IMO, in another hands, if you need stronger filter, feel free to use 10, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, make sure look back period should increase or decrease by 5 every time.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
The default value for tp is set to 0.4%, but I also give you option to switch to ATR TP; you can adjust in the ATR multiplier, default ATR trailing stop loss uses 1 ATR, but you can adjust it for better drawdown tolerance. Fixed ATR SL is also given when fixed ATR is enabled. There will be a failsafe SL default set to 1% if price moves counter direction of opened position, it will close trade no matter what happens.
Enjoy :)
Strategy Myth-Busting #20 - HalfTrend+HullButterfly - [MYN]#20 on the Myth-Busting bench, we are automating the " I Found Super Easy 1 Minute Scalping System And Backtest It 100 Times " strategy from " Jessy Trading " who claims 30.58% net profit over 100 trades in a couple of weeks with a 51% win rate and profit factor of 1.56 on EURUSD .
This one surprised us quite a bit. Despite the title of this strategy indicating this is on the 1 min timeframe, the author demonstrates the backtesting manually on the 5 minute timeframe. Given the simplicity of this strategy only incorporating a couple of indicators, it's robustness being able to be profitable in both low and high timeframes and on multiple symbols was quite refreshing.
The 3 settings which we need to pay most attention to here is the Hull Butterfly length, HalfTrend amplitude and the Max Number Of Bars Between Hull and HalfTrend Trigger. Depending on the timeframe and symbol, these settings greatly impact the performance outcomes of the strategy. I've listed a couple of these below.
And as always, If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Hull Butterfly Oscillator by LuxAlgo
HalfTrend by Everget
Trading Rules
5 min candles but higher / lower candles work too.
Stop loss at swing high/low
Take Profit 1.5x the risk
Long
Hull Butterfly gives us green column, Wait for HalfTrend to present an up arrow and enter trade.
Short
Hull Butterfly gives us a red column , Wait for HalfTrend to present a down arrow and enter trade.
Alternative Trading Settings for different time frames
1 Minute Timeframe
Move the Hull Butterfly length from the default 11 to 9
Move the HalfTrend Amplitude from the default 2 to 1
Enabling ADX Filter with a 25 threshold
2 Hour Timeframe
Move the HalfTrend Amplitude from the default 2 to 1
Laddered Take Profits from 14.5% to 19% with an 8% SL
TradeIQ - Crazy Scalping Trading Strategy [Kaspricci]This strategy script is a combination of two indicators developed by LuxAlgo:
Triangular Momentum Oscillator & Real Time Divergences ( TMO )
Adjustable MA & Alternating Extremities (AMA)
The script combines the BUY and SELL signals from the TMO indicator with the BUY and SELL extremities shown by the AMA script and waits for the smoothed candles to grow in size. It places a SHORT or LONG order and sets a stop loss at the latest swing high or low (highes high or lowest low for a defined number of recent bars). A new LONG trade is highlighted by a green background. A new SHORT trade is highlighted by red background.
The trades will be closed once a new TMO indicator BUY or SELL signal appears or the color of the AMA extremities is switching from green to red and vice versa.
All parameters of TOM and AMA indicators are added as well and work the same way as in the original scripts provided by LuxAlgo.
The idea to combine these two indicators has been provided to me by TradIQ in his youtube video.
Please leave a comment in case you find a bug. In case you find a combination of parameters with a high win rat and high PnL I would be interested as well.
Open High Low StrategyThis is a very simple, yet effective and to some extend widely followed scalping strategy to capture the underling sentiments of the counter whether it will go up or down.
What is it?
This is Open-High-Low (OLH) strategy.
As you already aware of Candlestick patterns, there is patterns called as Marubozu patterns where the sell wick or buy wick either ceases to exists (or very small). This is exactly in the same principle.
In OLH strategy: The buy signal appears when the Open Price is the Low Price. It means if you draw the candlestick, there is no bottom wick. So after the opening of the candle, the demand drives the price up to the level, some selling may or may not come and closes in green. This indicates a strong upward biasness of the underlying counter.
Similarly, a sell signal appears when the Open price is the High Price. It means there is no upper wick. So there is no buying pressure, since the opening of the candle, sellers are in force and pulls down the price to a closing.
This strategy generates the signal at the close of the candle (technically barstate.isconfirmed). Because until the bar is real-time there is no option to know the final closing or high. So you will see the bar on which it generates the buy or sell signal is actually indicates the previous bar as OLH bar.
To determine the Stop-Loss, it uses the most widely known SL calculation of:
For buy signal, it takes the low of the last 7 candles and substract the ATR (Average True Range) of 14-period.
For sell signal, it takes the high of the last 7 candles and add it to the ATR (Average True Range) of 14-period.
One can plot the SL lines as dotted green and red lines as well to see visually.
Default Risk:Reward is 1:2, Can be customizable.
What is Unique?
Of course the utter simplistic nature of this strategy is it's key point. Very easy and intuitive to understand.
There are awesome strategies in this forum that talks about the various indicators combinations and what not.
Instead of all this, in a 15m NSE:NIFTY chart, it generates a good ~ 47% profit-factor with 1:2 Risk Reward ratio. Means if you loose a trade you will loose 1% of account and if you win you will gain 2%. Means 3 trades (2 profits and 1 loss) in a trading session result 3% overall gain for the day. (Assuming you are ready with 1% draw down of your account per trade, at max).

Strategy Myth-Busting #6 - PSAR+MA+SQZMOM+HVI - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our sixth one we are automating is " I Tested ''7% Profit Per Day" Scalping Strategy 100 Times ( Unexpected Results ) " from " TradeIQ " which claims to have made 175% profit on the 5 min chart of BTCUSD with a having a 61% win rate in just 32 days.
Originally, we mimicked verbatim the indicators and settings TradeIQ was using however weren't getting promising results anything close to the claim so we decided to try and improve on it. We changed the static Parabolic SAR to be adaptive based upon the timeframe. We did this by using an adjustable multiplier for the PSAR Max. Also, In TradeIQ's revised version he substituted Hawkeye's Volume Indicator in lieu of Squeeze Momentum. We found that including both indicators we were getting better results so included them both. Feel free to experiment more. Would love to see how this could be improved on.
This strategy uses a combination of 4 open-source public indicators:
Parabolic Sar (built in)
10 in 1 MA's by hiimannshu
Squeeze Momentum by lazybear
HawkEYE Volume Indicator by lazybear
Trading Rules
5m timeframe and above. We saw equally good results in the higher (3h - 4h) timeframes as well.
Long Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts below price at last dot above and then previous bar needs to breach above that.
Price action has to be below both MA's and 50MA needs to be above 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in green or close to going green
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a green bar on the histagram
Short Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts above price at last dot below and then previous bar needs to breach below that.
Price action needs to be above both MA's and 50MA needs to be below 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in red or close to going red
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a red bar on the histagram

VWAP Push StrategyThis strategy is unfortunately not finished yet.
A pretty simple strategy. If price broke through VWAP and had three consecutive candles following the breakthroughs trend, the high of the third candle will be drawn. If this happened after a crossover of the vwap and price breaks through the high of the third candle, strategy will go long. Short will be the same after crossing under the vwap. A long or short will be closed after crossing the vwap in the opposite direction, so the vwap is kind of a trailing stop.
Unfortunately, I could not manage to stop the script from entering multiple times into one drawn high or low. Of course, if a high was crossed the script should wait for a new formed high before entering a new long. If someone would find a solution to this, it would be great, because I think it is a nice strategy .
Should work great scalping 5min charts (when scripting, I used the SPX for reference).
4 Pack Scalping ToolThe 4 Squeeze Scalp tool is a tool that I have developed over the past few years. I was always fascinated by the fact that most people don’t know where price is heading. While Fibonacci and other linear type methods work it never gelled with me. I started by going deep into the fundamentals of momentum with an understanding that an object in motion heading in a particular direction tends to stay heading in that direction (until something derails it). Price, in my opinion, is no different.
Price can move up, down and sideways. And it moves in a wave, getting stronger over time until eventually pulling back and starting over again. In my mind, the compression of price and the relationship of that pressure to various lengths of time as well as RSI, ADX and DMI across these same time frames gives you a view on how the underlying price momentum is building up and releasing. For trading you want to be building a trade when pressure starts to build and you want to take profits when the wave starts to pull back and build for the next cycle.
Each dot represents a length of the momentum indicator and the line inside the oscillator is a weighted composite of the underlying momentum structure for each of the lengths selected. A trade follows the directional alignment of the line (red = down, yellow = neutral / chop, green = up) and the dots should be aligned from the bottom to the top (bright green = very bullish, dark green = neutral / bullish, dark red = neutral / bearish, bright red = very bearish). When the line and the dots are aligned you will have a high probability trade.
The backtest results below are based on 2 years of backtesting, using a 2 contract trade on a 100K account. While the absolute return is not meaningful the win rate and PF are great for a trade on CL on this timeframe. The tool can be used on any asset over any timeframe in a multitude of combinations.
