VWAP StrategyVWAP and volatility filters for structured intraday trades.
How the Strategy Works
1. VWAP Anchored to Session
VWAP is calculated from the start of each trading day.
Standard deviations are used to create bands above/below the VWAP.
2. Entry Triggers: Al Brooks H1/H2 and L1/L2
H1/H2 (Long Entry): Opens below 2nd lower deviation, closes above it.
L1/L2 (Short Entry): Opens above 2nd upper deviation, closes below it.
3. Volatility Filter (ATR)
Skips trades when deviation bands are too tight (< 3 ATRs).
4. Stop Loss
Based on the signal bar’s high/low ± stop buffer.
Longs: signalBarLow - stopBuffer
Shorts: signalBarHigh + stopBuffer
5. Take Profit / Exit Target
Exit logic is customizable per side:
VWAP, Deviation Band, or None
6. Safety Exit
Exits early if X consecutive bars go against the trade.
Longs: X red bars
Shorts: X green bars
Explanation of Strategy Inputs
- Stop Buffer: Distance from signal bar for stop-loss.
- Long/Short Exit Rule: VWAP, Deviation Band, or None
- Long/Short Target Deviation: Standard deviation for target exit.
- Enable Safety Exit: Toggle emergency exit.
- Opposing Bars: Number of opposing candles before safety exit.
- Allow Long/Short Trades: Enable or disable entry side.
- Show VWAP/Entry Bands: Toggle visual aids.

- Safety exit: 3 bars recommended.
- Disable short/long side to focus on one type of reversal.
Backtest Setup Suggestions
- initial_capital = 2000
- default_qty_value = 1 (fixed contracts or percent-of-equity)
RSI Pro+ (Bear market, financial crisis and so on EditionIn markets defined by volatility, fear, and uncertainty – the battlegrounds of bear markets and financial crises – you need tools forged in resilience. Introducing RSI Pro+, a strategy built upon a legendary indicator born in 1978, yet engineered with modern visual clarity to remain devastatingly effective even in the chaotic financial landscapes of 3078.
This isn't about complex algorithms predicting the unpredictable. It's about harnessing the raw, time-tested power of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify potential exhaustion points and capitalize on oversold conditions. RSI Pro+ cuts through the noise, providing clear, actionable signals when markets might be poised for a relief bounce or reversal.
Core Technology (The 1978 Engine):
RSI Crossover Entry: The strategy initiates a LONG position when the RSI (default period 11) crosses above a user-defined low threshold (default 30). This classic technique aims to enter when selling pressure may be waning, offering potential entry points during sharp downturns or periods of consolidation after a fall.
Modern Enhancements (The 3078 Cockpit):
RSI Pro+ isn't just about the signal; it's about providing a professional-grade visual experience directly on your chart:
Entry Bar Highlight: A subtle background flash on the chart signals the exact bar where the RSI crossover condition is met, alerting you to potential entry opportunities.
Trade Bar Coloring: Once a trade is active, the price bars are subtly colored, giving you immediate visual confirmation that the strategy is live in the market.
Entry Price Line: A clear, persistent line marks your exact average entry price for the duration of the trade, serving as a crucial visual anchor.
Take Profit Line: Your calculated Take Profit target is plotted as a distinct line, keeping your objective clearly in sight.
Custom Entry Marker: A precise shape (▲) appears below the bar where the trade entry was actually executed, pinpointing the start of the position.
On-Chart Info Table (HUD): A clean, customizable Heads-Up Display appears when a trade is active, showing vital information at a glance:
Entry Price: Your position's average cost basis.
TP Target: The calculated price level for your Take Profit exit.
Current PnL%: Real-time Profit/Loss percentage for the open trade.
Full Customization: Nearly every aspect is configurable via the settings menu:
RSI Period & Crossover Level
Take Profit Percentage
Toggle ALL visual enhancements on/off individually
Position the Info Table wherever you prefer on the chart.
How to Use RSI Pro+:
Add to Chart: Apply the "RSI Pro+ (Bear market...)" strategy to your TradingView chart. Ensure any previous versions are removed.
Access Settings: Click the cogwheel icon (⚙️) next to the strategy name on your chart.
Configure Inputs (Crucial Step):
RSI Crossover Level: This is key. The default (30) targets standard oversold conditions. In severe downturns, you might experiment with lower levels (e.g., 25, 20) or higher ones (e.g., 40) depending on the asset and timeframe. Observe where RSI(11) typically bottoms out on your chart.
Take Profit Percentage (%): Define your desired profit target per trade (e.g., enter 0.5 for 0.5%, 1.0 for 1%). The default is a very small 0.11%.
RSI Period: While default is 11, you can adjust this (e.g., the standard 14).
Visual Enhancements: Enable or disable the visual features (background highlights, bar coloring, lines, markers, table) according to your preference using the checkboxes. Adjust table position.
Observe & Backtest: Watch how the strategy behaves on your chosen asset and timeframe. Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to analyze historical performance based on your settings. No strategy works perfectly everywhere; testing is essential.
Important Considerations:
Risk Management: This specific script version focuses on a Take Profit exit. It does not include an explicit Stop Loss. You MUST manage risk through appropriate position sizing, potentially adding a Stop Loss manually, or by modifying the script.
Oversold ≠ Reversal: An RSI crossover is an indicator of potential exhaustion, not a guarantee of a price reversal.
Fixed TP: A fixed percentage TP ensures small wins but may exit before larger potential moves.
Backtesting Limitations: Past performance does not guarantee future results.
RSI Pro+ strips away complexity to focus on a robust, time-honored principle, enhanced with modern visuals for the discerning trader navigating today's (and tomorrow's) challenging markets
Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.

SMA Trend Filter Oscillator (Adaptive)The "SMA Trend Filter Oscillator (Adaptive)" indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders determine the direction and strength of a trend based on an adaptive Simple Moving Average (SMA). The oscillator calculates the difference between the closing price and the SMA value, allowing for the visualization of price deviation from the average and the assessment of current market dynamics.
Key Features of the Indicator:
Adaptation to Time Frame: The indicator automatically adjusts the SMA length based on the current time frame, making it versatile for use across different time intervals. For example:
Monthly Time Frame: SMA with a length of 50.
Weekly Time Frame: SMA with a length of 40.
Daily Time Frame: SMA with a length of 20.
Hourly Time Frame: SMA with a length of 10.
Intraday Time Frames: SMA with a length of 5 (for time frames up to 15 minutes) or 7 (for others).
SMA-Based Oscillator: The oscillator is calculated as the difference between the closing price and the SMA value. This allows:
Bullish Trend Identification: When the oscillator is above zero (price is above SMA).
Bearish Trend Identification: When the oscillator is below zero (price is below SMA).
Visualization: The oscillator is displayed as a histogram, where:
Green Color indicates a bullish trend.
Red Color indicates a bearish trend.
The Zero Line (Gray) serves as a reference for trend reversal.
How to Use the Indicator:
Trend Identification: If the oscillator is above zero and colored green, it signals a bullish trend. If it is below zero and colored red, it indicates a bearish trend.
Trend Strength: The larger the oscillator value (in either direction), the stronger the trend. Small oscillator values (close to zero) may indicate sideways movement or weak trend.
Entry and Exit Points:
Buy: When the oscillator crosses the zero line from below to above (transition from red to green).
Sell: When the oscillator crosses the zero line from above to below (transition from green to red).
Signal Filtering: Use the indicator in combination with other technical analysis tools (e.g., RSI, MACD, or support/resistance levels) to confirm signals.
Advantages of the Indicator:
Adaptability: Automatic adjustment of SMA length to the current time frame makes it versatile.
Simplicity: Intuitive histogram visualization allows for quick assessment of market conditions.
Flexibility: Can be used on any market (stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies) and time frame.
Limitations:
Lag: Like any SMA-based indicator, it can lag due to the use of average values.
False Signals: In sideways markets (flat), the indicator may generate false signals.
Risk Management:
Always set stop-losses and take-profits to minimize losses.
Test the indicator on historical data before using it on a live account.
The "SMA Trend Filter Oscillator (Adaptive)" is a powerful tool for traders seeking to quickly evaluate trends and their strength. Its adaptability and simplicity make it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
Индикатор "SMA Trend Filter Oscillator (Adaptive)" — это инструмент технического анализа, который помогает трейдерам определять направление тренда и его силу на основе адаптивной скользящей средней (SMA). Осциллятор рассчитывает разницу между ценой закрытия и значением SMA, что позволяет визуализировать отклонение цены от среднего значения и оценивать текущую рыночную динамику.
Основные особенности индикатора:
Адаптация к таймфрейму
Индикатор автоматически подстраивает длину SMA в зависимости от текущего таймфрейма, что делает его универсальным для использования на различных временных интервалах. Например:
Месячный таймфрейм (Monthly): SMA с длиной 50.
Недельный таймфрейм (Weekly): SMA с длиной 40.
Дневной таймфрейм (Daily): SMA с длиной 20.
Часовой таймфрейм (Hourly): SMA с длиной 10.
Внутридневные таймфреймы (Intraday): SMA с длиной 5 (для таймфреймов до 15 минут) или 7 (для остальных).
Осциллятор на основе SMA
Осциллятор рассчитывается как разница между ценой закрытия и значением SMA. Это позволяет:
Определять бычий тренд, когда осциллятор выше нуля (цена выше SMA).
Определять медвежий тренд, когда осциллятор ниже нуля (цена ниже SMA).
Визуализация
Осциллятор отображается в виде гистограммы, где:
Зелёный цвет указывает на бычий тренд.
Красный цвет указывает на медвежий тренд.
Линия нуля (серая) служит ориентиром для определения смены тренда.
Как использовать индикатор:
Определение тренда
Если осциллятор находится выше нуля и окрашен в зелёный цвет, это сигнализирует о бычьем тренде.
Если осциллятор находится ниже нуля и окрашен в красный цвет, это указывает на медвежий тренд.
Сила тренда
Чем больше значение осциллятора (в положительную или отрицательную сторону), тем сильнее тренд.
Небольшие значения осциллятора (близкие к нулю) могут указывать на боковое движение или слабость тренда.
Точки входа и выхода
Покупка (Buy): Когда осциллятор пересекает нулевую линию снизу вверх (переход из красной зоны в зелёную).
Продажа (Sell): Когда осциллятор пересекает нулевую линию сверху вниз (переход из зелёной зоны в красную).
Фильтрация сигналов
Используйте индикатор в сочетании с другими инструментами технического анализа (например, RSI, MACD или уровнями поддержки/сопротивления) для подтверждения сигналов.
Преимущества индикатора:
Адаптивность: Автоматическая настройка длины SMA под текущий таймфрейм делает индикатор универсальным.
Простота: Интуитивно понятная визуализация в виде гистограммы позволяет быстро оценить рыночную ситуацию.
Гибкость: Может использоваться на любых рынках (акции, форекс, криптовалюты) и таймфреймах.
Ограничения:
Запаздывание: Как и любой индикатор на основе SMA, он может запаздывать из-за использования средних значений.
Ложные сигналы: В условиях бокового движения (флэта) индикатор может генерировать ложные сигналы.
Управление рисками: Всегда устанавливайте стоп-лоссы и тейк-профиты, чтобы минимизировать потери.
Тестирование: Перед использованием на реальном счёте протестируйте индикатор на исторических данных.
Индикатор "SMA Trend Filter Oscillator (Adaptive)" — это мощный инструмент для трейдеров, которые хотят быстро оценить тренд и его силу. Его адаптивность и простота делают его подходящим как для начинающих, так и для опытных трейдеров

Volatility and Candle Spikes in Trading
Volatility
Volatility refers to the degree of variation in the price of a financial asset over time. It measures how much the price fluctuates and is often associated with risk and uncertainty in the market. High volatility means larger price swings, while low volatility indicates more stable price movements.
Key aspects of volatility:
Measured using indicators like Average True Range (ATR), Bollinger Bands, and Implied Volatility (IV).
Influenced by factors such as market news, economic events, and liquidity.
Higher volatility increases both risk and potential profit opportunities.
Candle Spikes
A candle spike (or wick) refers to a sudden price movement that forms a long shadow or wick on a candlestick chart. These spikes can indicate strong buying or selling pressure, liquidity hunts, or stop-loss triggers.
Types of candle spikes:
Bullish Spike (Long Lower Wick): Indicates buyers rejected lower prices, pushing the price higher.
Bearish Spike (Long Upper Wick): Suggests sellers rejected higher prices, pushing the price lower.
Stop-Loss Hunt: Market makers may trigger stop-losses by creating artificial spikes before reversing the price.
News-Induced Spikes: Economic data releases or unexpected events can cause sudden price jumps.
Understanding volatility and candle spikes can help traders manage risk, spot entry/exit points, and avoid false breakouts. 🚀📈
MACD Volume Strategy for XAUUSD (15m) [PineIndicators]The MACD Volume Strategy is a momentum-based trading system designed for XAUUSD on the 15-minute timeframe. It integrates two key market indicators: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and a volume-based oscillator to identify strong trend shifts and confirm trade opportunities. This strategy uses dynamic position sizing, incorporates leverage customization, and applies structured entry and exit conditions to improve risk management.
⚙️ Core Strategy Components
1️⃣ Volume-Based Momentum Calculation
The strategy includes a custom volume oscillator to filter trade signals based on market activity. The oscillator is derived from the difference between short-term and long-term volume trends using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
Short EMA (default = 5) represents recent volume activity.
Long EMA (default = 8) captures broader volume trends.
Positive values indicate rising volume, supporting momentum-based trades.
Negative values suggest weak market activity, reducing signal reliability.
By requiring positive oscillator values, the strategy ensures momentum confirmation before entering trades.
2️⃣ MACD Trend Confirmation
The strategy uses the MACD indicator as a trend filter. The MACD is calculated as:
Fast EMA (16-period) detects short-term price trends.
Slow EMA (26-period) smooths out price fluctuations to define the overall trend.
Signal Line (9-period EMA) helps identify crossovers, signaling potential trend shifts.
Histogram (MACD – Signal) visualizes trend strength.
The system generates trade signals based on MACD crossovers around the zero line, confirming bullish or bearish trend shifts.
📌 Trade Logic & Conditions
🔹 Long Entry Conditions
A buy signal is triggered when all the following conditions are met:
✅ MACD crosses above 0, signaling bullish momentum.
✅ Volume oscillator is positive, confirming increased trading activity.
✅ Current volume is at least 50% of the previous candle’s volume, ensuring market participation.
🔻 Short Entry Conditions
A sell signal is generated when:
✅ MACD crosses below 0, indicating bearish momentum.
✅ Volume oscillator is positive, ensuring market activity is sufficient.
✅ Current volume is less than 50% of the previous candle’s volume, showing decreasing participation.
This multi-factor approach filters out weak or false signals, ensuring that trades align with both momentum and volume dynamics.
📏 Position Sizing & Leverage
Dynamic Position Calculation:
Qty = strategy.equity × leverage / close price
Leverage: Customizable (default = 1x), allowing traders to adjust risk exposure.
Adaptive Sizing: The strategy scales position sizes based on account equity and market price.
Slippage & Commission: Built-in slippage (2 points) and commission (0.01%) settings provide realistic backtesting results.
This ensures efficient capital allocation, preventing overexposure in volatile conditions.
🎯 Trade Management & Exits
Take Profit & Stop Loss Mechanism
Each position includes predefined profit and loss targets:
Take Profit: +10% of risk amount.
Stop Loss: Fixed at 10,100 points.
The risk-reward ratio remains balanced, aiming for controlled drawdowns while maximizing trade potential.
Visual Trade Tracking
To improve trade analysis, the strategy includes:
📌 Trade Markers:
"Buy" label when a long position opens.
"Close" label when a position exits.
📌 Trade History Boxes:
Green for profitable trades.
Red for losing trades.
📌 Horizontal Trade Lines:
Shows entry and exit prices.
Helps identify trend movements over multiple trades.
This structured visualization allows traders to analyze past performance directly on the chart.
⚡ How to Use This Strategy
1️⃣ Apply the script to a XAUUSD (Gold) 15m chart in TradingView.
2️⃣ Adjust leverage settings as needed.
3️⃣ Enable backtesting to assess past performance.
4️⃣ Monitor volume and MACD conditions to understand trade triggers.
5️⃣ Use the visual trade markers to review historical performance.

Snipe 1-Minute IntradayPurpose
This script demonstrates a simple intraday approach using RSI, EMAs, VWAP, and an optional volume filter. It plots visual buy (bullish) and sell (bearish) signals on the chart under certain conditions. You can use it as a starting point to explore or develop your own intraday strategies.
Key Features
1. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Plots the built-in VWAP for additional context on intraday price action.
2. EMA Crossover
Uses two EMAs (fast and slow). A bullish signal triggers when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, and a bearish signal triggers when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA.
3. RSI Momentum Filter
An RSI reading above 50 indicates bullish momentum; below 50 indicates bearish momentum.
4. Volume Filter (Optional)
Compares the current bar’s volume against the average volume (over a user-defined period). When enabled, signals only appear if the current volume exceeds the average.
5. Time Window (Optional)
Allows you to define a specific time window (e.g., the first hour of trading) for valid signals. You can enable or disable this filter and set your preferred time zone.
How the Signals Are Generated
• Bullish Signal
o Occurs when:
1. Price is above VWAP.
2. Fast EMA is above Slow EMA.
3. RSI is above 50.
4. (Optional) Current volume exceeds the average volume if the volume filter is enabled.
5. (Optional) The chart’s timestamp is within the specified session if the time filter is enabled.
A green triangle is plotted below the bar, and an optional background highlight is shown.
• Bearish Signal
Occurs when the conditions are inverted (price below VWAP, fast EMA below slow EMA, RSI below 50, volume filter and time window—if enabled—are satisfied).
A red triangle is plotted above the bar, and an optional background highlight is shown.
How to Use
1. Load on a 1-Minute Chart (Recommended)
This script is intended for intraday timeframes (specifically 1-minute). Feel free to experiment with other timeframes.
2. Adjust Inputs
You can modify the RSI length, EMA lengths, and volume lookback to suit your preferences or trading style.
If you prefer signals outside the default session hours, turn off “Use Time Filter for Signals?” or change the session window and time zone.
3. Enable or Disable Volume Filter
Turn this on if you only want signals during higher-than-average volume bars.
4. Combine with Other Analysis
This script can be used as a visual tool; however, it is not a complete trading system by itself. Consider additional technical or fundamental analysis to validate your trading decisions.
5. Risk Management
Always practice sound risk management. Setting appropriate stop-losses or using position sizing techniques can help manage potential losses.

100s Level LinesPurpose of the Script
- Visualize Key Levels: The script highlights round-number levels (e.g., 100, 200, 300) automatically, making it easy to identify areas where price action might react.
- Improve Decision-Making: These levels can serve as benchmarks for entry, exit, stop-loss, or take-profit placement.
- Simplicity: Instead of manually drawing levels, the script dynamically updates to match the chart's price range.
Features of the Script
- Dynamic Level Calculation: The script calculates 100s levels based on the asset's current price range and plots lines above and below the visible chart area.
- Customizable Settings: Adjust line color, style (solid, dashed, or dotted), and width to suit your charting preferences.
- Auto-Scaling: Automatically adjusts to the chart's visible price range, ensuring plotted levels are always relevant.
- Labeling: Each line can optionally display its exact value (e.g., "1400," "1500") for easy reference.
- Performance Optimization: Efficient calculations ensure the script doesn’t slow down TradingView, even on volatile instruments like the US100.
How the Script Works
- The script detects the highest and lowest visible prices on the chart to define the range.
- Starting from the lowest 100-point increment within the visible range, the script calculates all 100-point levels up to the highest visible price.
- It plots horizontal lines across the chart for each calculated level.
- Optionally, labels can be added to display the value of each level.
How to Use the Script
- Copy the script code into the Pine Script editor in TradingView and apply it to your chart.
- Open the script settings to adjust line color, style, width, and label visibility.
- Use the plotted 100s levels as psychological support and resistance zones for trade entries, exits, and stop-loss or take-profit placement.
Example Use Cases
- Identify potential reversal points as the price approaches a 100s level in intraday trading.
- Confirm support or resistance zones on higher timeframes for swing trading setups.
- Use the levels to trail stop-losses during trending markets and lock in profits incrementally.
Customizable Options
- Line Color: Change the color of the horizontal lines.
- Line Style: Choose solid, dashed, or dotted lines.
- Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the lines for better visibility.
- Show Labels: Toggle price values on or off for each level.
Advantages

Honest Volatility Grid [Honestcowboy]The Honest Volatility Grid is an attempt at creating a robust grid trading strategy but without standard levels.
Normal grid systems use price levels like 1.01;1.02;1.03;1.04... and place an order at each of these levels. In this program instead we create a grid using keltner channels using a long term moving average.
🟦 IS THIS EVEN USEFUL?
The idea is to have a more fluid style of trading where levels expand and follow price and do not stick to precreated levels. This however also makes each closed trade different instead of using fixed take profit levels. In this strategy a take profit level can even be a loss. It is useful as a strategy because it works in a different way than most strategies, making it a good tool to diversify a portfolio of trading strategies.
🟦 STRATEGY
There are 10 levels below the moving average and 10 above the moving average. For each side of the moving average the strategy uses 1 to 3 orders maximum (3 shorts at top, 3 longs at bottom). For instance you buy at level 2 below moving average and you increase position size when level 6 is reached (a cheaper price) in order to spread risks.
By default the strategy exits all trades when the moving average is reached, this makes it a mean reversion strategy. It is specifically designed for the forex market as these in my experience exhibit a lot of ranging behaviour on all the timeframes below daily.
There is also a stop loss at the outer band by default, in case price moves too far from the mean.
What are the risks?
In case price decides to stay below the moving average and never reaches the outer band one trade can create a very substantial loss, as the bands will keep following price and are not at a fixed level.
Explanation of default parameters
By default the strategy uses a starting capital of 25000$, this is realistic for retail traders.
Lot sizes at each level are set to minimum lot size 0.01, there is no reason for the default to be risky, if you want to risk more or increase equity curve increase the number at your own risk.
Slippage set to 20 points: that's a normal 2 pip slippage you will find on brokers.
Fill limit assumtion 20 points: so it takes 2 pips to confirm a fill, normal forex spread.
Commission is set to 0.00005 per contract: this means that for each contract traded there is a 5$ or whatever base currency pair has as commission. The number is set to 0.00005 because pinescript does not know that 1 contract is 100000 units. So we divide the number by 100000 to get a realistic commission.
The script will also multiply lot size by 100000 because pinescript does not know that lots are 100000 units in forex.
Extra safety limit
Normally the script uses strategy.exit() to exit trades at TP or SL. But because these are created 1 bar after a limit or stop order is filled in pinescript. There are strategy.orders set at the outer boundaries of the script to hedge against that risk. These get deleted bar after the first order is filled. Purely to counteract news bars or huge spikes in price messing up backtest.
🟦 VISUAL GOODIES
I've added a market profile feature to the edge of the grid. This so you can see in which grid zone market has been the most over X bars in the past. Some traders may wish to only turn on the strategy whenever the market profile displays specific characteristics (ranging market for instance).
These simply count how many times a high, low, or close price has been in each zone for X bars in the past. it's these purple boxes at the right side of the chart.
🟦 Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in lot sizes or % for alerts and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy The US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy (Single Trade Per Breakout/Breakdown) is a trading approach for the US 30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average) that aims to capture breakout or breakdown moves based on the previous day’s high and low levels. The strategy includes mechanisms to take only one trade per breakout (or breakdown) each day and ensures that each trade is executed only when no other trade is open.
Entry Conditions:
Long Trade (Breakout): The strategy initiates a long position if the current candle closes above the previous day's high, indicating an upward breakout. Only one breakout trade can occur per day, regardless of whether the price remains above the previous high.
Short Trade (Breakdown): The strategy initiates a short position if the current candle closes below the previous day's low, indicating a downward breakdown. Similarly, only one breakdown trade can occur per day.
Risk Management:
Take Profit and Stop Loss: Each trade has a take profit and stop loss of 50 points, aiming to cap profit and limit loss effectively for each position.
Daily Reset Mechanism:
At the start of each new day (based on New York time), the strategy resets its flags, allowing it to look for new breakout or breakdown trades. This reset ensures that only one trade can be taken per breakout or breakdown level each day.
Execution Logic
Flags for Trade Limitation: Flags (breakout_traded and breakdown_traded) are used to ensure only one breakout or breakdown trade is taken per day. These flags reset daily.
Dynamic Plotting: The previous day’s high and low are plotted on the chart, providing a visual reference for potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Overall Objective
This strategy is designed to capture single-directional daily moves by identifying significant breakouts or breakdowns beyond the previous day’s range. The fixed profit and loss limits ensure the trades are managed with controlled risk, while the daily reset feature prevents overtrading and limits each trade opportunity to one breakout and one breakdown attempt per day.
E9 Shark-32 PatternUnderstanding the Shark-32 Pattern and its Trading Applications
The Shark-32 Pattern is a bearish technical trading formation used to predict market reversals or trend continuations. It highlights a downward move followed by a corrective rally, signaling a potential resumption of the downtrend. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
What is the Shark-32 Pattern?
The Shark-32 pattern is a five-wave structure typically observed in bearish markets:
Wave 0 to X: A significant price decline starts the pattern.
Wave X to A: A correction pushes the price slightly upward.
Wave A to B: The price drops again but doesn’t reach the initial low.
Wave B to C: A final sharp decline concludes the pattern.
Once Wave C is formed, it suggests that the market will continue to move downward, presenting a potential selling or shorting opportunity.
Using the Pattern in Trading
This pattern is valuable for traders seeking high-probability bearish setups. The goal is to capitalize on the continuation of a downtrend following the corrective rally (X to A). Identifying the Shark-32 pattern helps anticipate the next wave of selling pressure.
Trading Setup
Identify a Shark-32 pattern.
If the price closes above the pattern's high, buy at the open the next day.
If the price closes below the pattern's low, short at the open the next day.
Sell/cover when the price moves 7% in the direction of the breakout.
Close the trade for a loss if the price moves 7% in the opposite direction.
For example, in a bull market after an upward breakout from a Shark-32, the net gain was $69.55. The method won 56% of the time with 5,218 winning trades and an average gain of $714.07. Conversely, 44% of trades were losers, with an average loss of $747.33. The average holding period was 26 calendar days.
The gains and losses were closely aligned with the 7% threshold set for this test.
Key Target Levels
To enhance the strategy, use dotted projection lines as target levels:
Upper Target: Drawn above the high of the corrective rally (Wave A). If the price breaks above this line, it may signal further upward movement, indicating a potentially weaker downtrend.
Lower Target: Positioned below the low of Wave C, providing a target for bearish trades.
These lines help determine future price targets and assist in setting take-profit or stop-loss levels.
Trading the Breakout
Look for breakouts once the Shark-32 pattern is identified:
Upward Breakout: If the price closes above the green line (high from two bars ago), it indicates a potential reversal to the upside.
Downward Breakout: If the price breaks below the red line (low from two bars ago), it confirms the bearish continuation.
Breakouts allow traders to adjust their positions based on market shifts.
Trading Tips
Continuation: The Shark-32 pattern acts as a continuation 60% of the time, confirming the ongoing trend.
Breakout Confirmation: Wait for the price to close above or below the pattern’s key levels before entering a trade.
Trade with the Trend: Since the Shark-32 is a continuation pattern, expect the breakout to align with the inbound price trend.
Symmetry: Patterns with symmetry often perform better. For more insights, refer to detailed trading literature.
Half-Staff: The Shark-32 can form midway in a trend, similar to flags and pennants.
Shark-32: Trading Performance
Based on an analysis of 23,369 trades, the following performance metrics were observed:
Bull Market with Upward Breakout: The average net profit was $69.55. This method won 56% of the time, with winning trades averaging $714.07. Losing trades, which constituted 44% of the total, had an average loss of $747.33. The average holding period was 26 calendar days.

Uptrick: FVG Market Zones**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones**
---
### Introduction
**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** is a cutting-edge technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) within financial markets. This indicator focuses on pinpointing critical price levels where significant gaps occur, which can act as potential support and resistance zones. By integrating advanced volatility analysis and user-configurable parameters, the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** provides traders with a robust framework for understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
### Purpose and Functionality
The primary purpose of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is to detect and highlight Fair Value Gaps, which are areas on a price chart where there is a significant price movement without any trading activity in between. These gaps can provide critical insights into market behavior, as they often indicate areas where the market has not fully accounted for the supply and demand dynamics. Traders use these zones to anticipate potential reversals, breakouts, or consolidations, making this tool highly valuable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
### Unique Features and Originality
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is distinguished by its focus on FVGs and its ability to integrate this concept into a broader market analysis framework. Unlike other indicators that may offer generalized support and resistance levels, this tool specifically identifies and visualizes gaps based on volatility-adjusted criteria. This precision allows traders to focus on the most relevant market zones, improving their ability to anticipate market movements.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its user-configurable settings, which provide a high degree of customization. This flexibility ensures that traders can tailor the indicator to suit their specific trading style and the particular market they are analyzing. Additionally, the indicator's visualization capabilities are enhanced with customizable colors and gap-filling options, making it easier for traders to interpret and act on the information presented.
### Inputs and Configurations
**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** comes with several user inputs that allow traders to customize the indicator's behavior and appearance. Each input plays a crucial role in determining how the indicator identifies and visualizes FVGs on the chart. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each input:
1. **FVG Analysis Period (fvgPeriod):**
- **Description:** This input determines the period over which the indicator analyzes the chart for identifying FVGs. By adjusting this value, traders can control how far back in time the indicator looks to detect significant gaps.
- **Default Value:** 25
- **Purpose:** A shorter period may focus on more recent market activity, making the indicator more sensitive to recent price movements. In contrast, a longer period allows the indicator to identify gaps that have remained unfilled for an extended time, potentially acting as stronger support or resistance levels.
2. **Analysis Mode (mode):**
- **Description:** The Analysis Mode input allows traders to choose between different methods of analyzing the chart for FVGs.
- **Options:** "Recent Gaps" and "Extended View"
- **Default Option:** "Recent Gaps"
- **Purpose:**
- **Recent Gaps:** Focuses on the latest significant gaps, providing traders with up-to-date information on the most relevant market zones.
- **Extended View:** Considers a broader range of gap patterns, which can be useful in markets where historical gaps may still influence current price action.
3. **Volatility Sensitivity (volatilityFactor):**
- **Description:** This input adjusts the sensitivity of the indicator to market volatility. It is used in calculating the threshold for identifying FVGs.
- **Default Value:** 0.3
- **Step Size:** 0.1
- **Purpose:** A higher sensitivity will cause the indicator to detect smaller gaps, which might be more frequent but less significant. Lower sensitivity focuses on larger, more impactful gaps, which are less frequent but potentially more powerful in predicting market behavior.
4. **Highlight Market Gaps (showGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the identified FVGs should be highlighted on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** This input allows traders to toggle the visualization of FVGs. When enabled, the indicator highlights gaps using colored boxes, making them visually prominent on the chart.
5. **Bullish Highlight Color (bullColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bullish FVGs (gaps that may indicate support).
- **Default Value:** #00FF7F (a shade of green)
- **Purpose:** The color choice is crucial for quickly distinguishing bullish zones from bearish ones. Green is typically associated with upward price movement, making it intuitive for traders to identify potential support areas.
6. **Bearish Highlight Color (bearColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bearish FVGs (gaps that may indicate resistance).
- **Default Value:** #FF4500 (a shade of red)
- **Purpose:** Red is commonly associated with downward price movement, making it easy for traders to identify potential resistance areas. This color coding helps in quickly assessing the chart.
7. **Fill Gap Areas (fillGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the FVGs should be filled with a color on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** Filling the gap areas provides a more solid visual cue for traders. It enhances the visibility of the gaps, making it easier to spot these zones during fast-paced trading sessions.
8. **Hidden Color (hidden):**
- **Description:** A color input that is used when certain elements should be hidden from the chart.
- **Default Value:** color.rgb(0,0,0,100) (a semi-transparent black)
- **Purpose:** This input is useful for controlling the visibility of certain plots or elements on the chart, ensuring that the indicator remains clean and uncluttered.
### Market Gap Detection
The core functionality of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator lies in its ability to detect Fair Value Gaps. These gaps occur when the price makes a significant jump from one level to another without any trading activity in between. The indicator uses a combination of price action analysis and volatility thresholds to identify these gaps.
- **Volatility Measurement:** The indicator begins by measuring market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR). This volatility measurement is then adjusted by the user-defined sensitivity factor, which determines the threshold for identifying significant gaps.
- **Gap Identification:** The indicator checks for instances where the current low is higher than the high two bars ago (bullish gap) or where the current high is lower than the low two bars ago (bearish gap). These conditions signify a potential FVG.
- **Gap Storage and Management:** Once a gap is identified, it is stored in an array. The indicator also manages the size of these arrays based on the selected analysis mode, ensuring that only the most relevant gaps are considered in the analysis.
### Visualization
Visualization is a key component of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator. By providing clear and customizable visual cues, the indicator ensures that traders can quickly and easily interpret the information it provides.
- **Gap Highlighting:** When enabled, the indicator highlights the identified FVGs on the chart using colored boxes. Bullish gaps are highlighted in green, while bearish gaps are highlighted in red. This color coding helps traders instantly recognize potential support and resistance zones.
- **Gap Filling:** The indicator can also fill the identified gaps with a semi-transparent color. This option enhances the visibility of the gaps, making them more prominent on the chart. Filled gaps are particularly useful for traders who want to keep track of these zones over multiple trading sessions.
- **Gap Averages:** The indicator calculates the average level of the identified gaps and plots these averages as lines on the chart. These lines represent the general area of support or resistance based on the detected gaps, providing traders with a reference point for setting their stop losses or profit targets.
- **Text Labels:** The indicator also labels each FVG with the text "FVG" inside the highlighted area. This feature ensures that traders can easily identify these zones even in charts with dense price action.
### Practical Applications
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of trading strategies across different markets and timeframes. Here are a few examples of how this indicator can be used in practice:
1. **Support and Resistance Trading:**
- Traders can use the identified FVGs as dynamic support and resistance levels. By placing their trades based on these levels, they can take advantage of potential reversals or continuations at key market zones.
2. **Gap Filling Strategy:**
- Some traders focus on the concept of gap filling, where the market eventually returns to "fill" the gap created by rapid price movements. The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator can
help identify such gaps and anticipate when the market might return to these levels.
3. **Breakout Trading:**
- The indicator can be used to identify breakouts from significant gaps. When the price moves beyond the identified FVGs, it may signal a strong trend continuation, providing an opportunity for breakout traders.
4. **Reversal Trading:**
- By monitoring the signals generated by the indicator, traders can identify potential market reversals. A sell signal after a prolonged uptrend or a buy signal after a downtrend may indicate a reversal, allowing traders to position themselves accordingly.
5. **Risk Management:**
- The average levels of the FVGs can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit levels. By aligning these levels with the FVG zones, traders can improve their risk management practices and enhance their trading discipline.
### Customization and Flexibility
One of the standout features of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is its high level of customization. Traders can adjust various parameters to tailor the indicator to their specific needs and preferences.
- **Customizable Colors:** The indicator allows traders to choose their preferred colors for highlighting bullish and bearish gaps. This flexibility ensures that the indicator can be integrated seamlessly into any trading setup, regardless of the trader's color scheme preferences.
- **Adjustable Periods and Sensitivity:** By allowing traders to adjust the analysis period and volatility sensitivity, the indicator can be fine-tuned to suit different market conditions. For example, a trader might use a shorter analysis period and higher sensitivity in a volatile market, while opting for a longer period and lower sensitivity in a more stable market.
- **Toggling Visual Elements:** Traders can choose to enable or disable various visual elements of the indicator, such as gap highlighting, gap filling, and text labels. This level of control allows traders to declutter their charts and focus on the information that is most relevant to their trading strategy.
### Advantages and Benefits

Thrax - QuickStrike 5-Mins Scalping** Indicator Description **
1. Price Change Threshold (%) – The minimum price change required for a candle to be recognized as significant. Candles exceeding this threshold are considered potential candidates for zone creation. Default value for 5 min is 0.5%. As you move on higher timeframe the threshold should increase
2. Percentage Change for Zones (%) – The amount of price movement needed to form a dynamic support or resistance zone. Tweak this to control how sensitive the indicator is to price fluctuations. 5 min default value is 1%. For 15 min suggested is 2-3%.
3. Break Threshold for Zones (%) – Defines how much price must break above or below a zone for it to be removed from the chart/mitigated. Keeps the chart clean by removing invalidated zones. Default value is 0.1% in 5 min, for 15 min it is 0.5%.
4. Buy Zone Retracement Level (%) – The percentage retracement level for defining the inner buy zone within a broader bullish zone. Ideal for timing precision entries. Ideal value is 75%
5. Sell Zone Retracement Level (%) – The percentage retracement level used to determine the inner sell zone within a larger bearish zone. Helps in identifying potential reversal areas or exits. Ideal value is 25%
By tailoring these inputs, traders can fully customize the indicator to suit their scalping strategies, enhancing their ability to navigate fast-moving markets with confidence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two primary approaches for scalping using this indicator:
1. Candle-Based Scalping:
a. Bullish Signal: When you observe a bullish candle highlighted in blue (by default), you can consider entering a long position at the close of this candle. It’s advisable to wait for the candle to close before taking action. For a more aggressive scalp, you might take profits based on your scalp target after a few subsequent candles. If the price remains stagnant or moves unfavorably in the next few candles, you can exit with a small loss. Alternatively, if you have a higher risk tolerance, you may hold the position even if the price initially declines within a set percentage.
b. Bearish Signal: For a bearish candle highlighted in yellow, you can enter a short trade at the close of the candle. Similar to the bullish setup, you have the option to exit after a few candles if the price doesn’t move as expected or hold the position with a higher risk tolerance if the price goes up initially.
2. Zone-Based Scalping:
Entering Zones: Monitor the price as it enters a defined support or resistance zone. If you are open to higher risk, you can enter a trade immediately upon the price entering the zone. For a more cautious approach with a smaller stop loss, wait for the price to reach a retracement level within the zone before initiating your trade. This approach allows for a more precise entry but may result in missing out on trades if the price reverses before hitting the retracement level. Conversely, entering at the zone’s boundary offers the potential for early trade capture but comes with a higher stop loss risk.
Adjust these strategies based on your risk tolerance and trading preferences to optimize your scalping opportunities.
Partial Profit Calculator [TFO]This indicator was built to help calculate the outcome of trades that utilize multiple profit targets and/or multiple entries.
In its simplest form, we can have a single entry and a single profit target. As shown below in this long trade example, the indicator will draw risk and reward boxes (red and green, respectively) with several annotations. On the left-hand side, all entries will be displayed (in this case there is only one entry, "E1"). On the bottom, the "SL" label indicates the trade's stop loss placement. On the top, all target prices are displayed (in this case there is only one target, "TP1"). Lastly, on the right-hand side a label will display the total R that is to be expected from a winning trade, where R is one's unit of risk.
In the following example, we have two target prices - one at 18600 and one at 18700. You can input as many target prices as you'd like, separated by commas, i.e. "18600,18700" in this example. Make sure the values are separated by commas only, and not spaces, new lines, etc. As a result, we can see that the indicator draws where our profit targets would be with respect to our entry, E1. The indicator assumes that equal parts of the trade position are taken off at each target price. In this example on Nasdaq futures (NQ1!), since we have 2 target prices, this would be equivalent to assuming that we take exactly half the trade position off at TP1, and the remaining half of the position at TP2.
If we wanted to take more of the position off at a certain target, we could simply duplicate the target price. Here I set the target prices to "18600,18600,18700" to enforce that two thirds of the position be taken off at TP1 and TP2, while the remaining third gets taken off at TP3.
We can also show outcome annotations to describe how much R is generated from each possible trade outcome. Using the below chart as an example, the stop loss indicates a -1R loss. The total R from this trade criteria is 1.33 R, and each target price shows how much R is being generated if one were to take off an equal part of the position at said target prices. In this case, we would generate 0.17 R from taking one third of the position off at TP1, another 0.5 R from taking one third of the position off at TP2, and another 0.67 R from taking the remaining one third of the position off at TP3, all adding up to the total R indicated on the right-hand side label.
Using multiple entries works the same way as using multiple target prices, where the input should indicate each entry price separated by commas. In this example I've used "18550,18450" to achieve an average price of 18500, as indicated by the "E_avg" label that appears when more than one entry price is utilized. We can also opt to display risk as dollars instead of R values, where you can input your desired risk per trade, and all values are shown as dollar amounts instead of R multiples, as shown below with a risk per trade of $100.
This is meant to be an educational tool for trades that utilize multiple profit targets and/or entries. Hope you like it!
ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle SamStrategy Name: ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle Sam
Overview
This strategy aims to capitalize on trending markets by combining the Average Directional Index (ADX), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and a customizable Moving Average (MA). It's designed for traders seeking a balanced approach to both long (buy) and short (sell) opportunities. Special thanks to the creators of the ADX and CCI indicators for their invaluable contributions to technical analysis.
Strategy Concept
The core idea is to identify strong trends with the ADX, confirm potential entry points with the CCI, and use the MA to filter trades in the direction of the broader trend. This approach seeks to avoid entering positions during periods of consolidation or when the trend is weak.
Indicator Logic
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX measures the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction. A value above the customizable adx_threshold (default 20) signals a strong trend, making it a prime environment for this strategy.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): The CCI is a momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) conditions. We use CCI crossovers to time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MA (Moving Average): The MA acts as a trend filter, ensuring we only enter trades aligned with the overall market direction. You have flexibility in choosing the MA type (SMA, EMA, etc.) and its length to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Entry Conditions
Long (Buy):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses above 100.
Price is above the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Short (Sell):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses below -100.
Price is below the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Exit Conditions
Stop Loss (SL): Each position has a customizable stop-loss percentage to manage risk. The default setting is 1%.
Take Profit (TP): Each position has a customizable take-profit percentage to secure gains. The default setting is 5%.
MA-Based Risk Management (Optional): This feature allows for early exits if the price closes against the MA trend for a specified number of candles. The default setting is 2 candles.
Default Settings
CCI Period: 15
ADX Length: 10
ADX Threshold: 20
MA Type: HMA
MA Length: 200
MA Source: Close
Commission Fee: $0.0
A commission fee is not added, add your trading/platform commission for realistic trading costs.
Backtest Results
The strategy has been backtested on with the default settings and a starting capital of $1000, with 0.0% commission fee. It shows promising results.
Disclaimer: Backtesting is hypothetical and does not guarantee future performance.
Important Considerations:
Customization: The strategy offers extensive customization to tailor it to your preferences. Experiment with different parameters and settings to find what works best for your trading style.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques, including position sizing and stop losses, to protect your capital.
TSI w SuperTrend decision - Strategy [presentTrading]This strategy aims to improve upon the performance of Traidngview's newly published "Trend Strength Index" indicator by incorporating the SuperTrend for better trade execution and risk management. Enjoy :)
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "TSI with SuperTrend Decision - Strategy" combines the Trend Strength Index (TSI) with SuperTrend indicators to determine entry and exit points. Unlike traditional strategies that rely solely on one indicator, this method leverages the strengths of both TSI and SuperTrend to provide a more nuanced and adaptive trading strategy.
This dual approach allows for capturing trends more effectively, especially in volatile markets.
BTCUSD 8h LS Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Trend Strength Index (TSI)
The TSI is a momentum oscillator that shows both the direction and strength of a trend. It is calculated by comparing the price movement with the bar index over a specified period. The formula for TSI is as follows:
```
TSI = (PC / |PC|)
where:
PC = Change in price over the period
```
In this strategy, TSI is calculated using the closing prices and a default period of 64 bars. The TSI values help identify overbought and oversold conditions, providing signals for potential market reversals.
🔶 SuperTrend Indicator
The SuperTrend is a trend-following indicator based on the average true range (ATR). It helps in identifying the direction of the market trend. The SuperTrend calculation involves:
```
SuperTrend = HLC3 ± (Factor * ATR)
where:
HLC3 = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Factor = User-defined multiplier
ATR = Average True Range over a period
```
The SuperTrend settings in this strategy include a length of 10 bars and a factor of 3.0.
Last Bull Cycle of BTC
🔶 Entry and Exit Conditions
The strategy uses the TSI and SuperTrend together to determine entry and exit points:
- Long Entry: When the SuperTrend indicates a downward trend (st.d < 0) and the TSI is above the oversold level (-0.241).
- Long Exit: When the SuperTrend indicates an upward trend (st.d > 0) and the TSI is below the overbought level (0.241).
- Short Entry: When the SuperTrend indicates an upward trend (st.d > 0) and the TSI is below the overbought level (0.241).
- Short Exit: When the SuperTrend indicates a downward trend (st.d < 0) and the TSI is above the oversold level (-0.241).
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows users to select the trade direction through the `tradeDirection` input. The options are:
- Both: Enables both long and short trades.
- Long: Enables only long trades.
- Short: Enables only short trades.
█ Default Settings
- TSI Length: 64
- SuperTrend Length: 10
- SuperTrend Factor: 3.0
- Trade Direction: Both
- Take Profit (%): 30.0
- Stop Loss (%): 20.0
Impact of Default Settings
- TSI Length: A longer TSI period smooths out noise but may lag in identifying trends. A shorter period is more responsive but can generate false signals.
- SuperTrend Length: A shorter length provides quicker signals but can be prone to whipsaws. A longer length is more reliable but may delay entries and exits.
- SuperTrend Factor: A higher factor increases the distance of the SuperTrend from the price, reducing sensitivity to minor price fluctuations.
- Trade Direction: Allows flexibility in trading strategies by enabling both long and short trades based on market conditions.
- Take Profit and Stop Loss: These settings manage risk by automatically closing trades at predefined profit or loss levels. Higher percentages provide larger potential gains but also higher risk.
Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the previous session's low or aim for a 1:2 RR.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session high or nearest Swing High.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
