magic wand STSM"Magic Wand STSM" Strategy: Trend-Following with Dynamic Risk Management
Overview:
The "Magic Wand STSM" (Supertrend & SMA Momentum) is an automated trading strategy designed to identify and capitalize on sustained trends in the market. It combines a multi-timeframe Supertrend for trend direction and potential reversal signals, along with a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) for overall market bias. A key feature of this strategy is its dynamic position sizing based on a user-defined risk percentage per trade, and a built-in daily and monthly profit/loss tracking system to manage overall exposure and prevent overtrading.
How it Works (Underlying Concepts):
Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation (Supertrend):
The strategy uses two Supertrend indicators: one on the current chart timeframe and another on a higher timeframe (e.g., if your chart is 5-minute, the higher timeframe Supertrend might be 15-minute).
Trend Identification: The Supertrend's direction output is crucial. A negative direction indicates a bearish trend (price below Supertrend), while a positive direction indicates a bullish trend (price above Supertrend).
Confirmation: A core principle is that trades are only considered when the Supertrend on both the current and the higher timeframe align in the same direction. This helps to filter out noise and focus on stronger, more confirmed trends. For example, for a long trade, both Supertrends must be indicating a bearish trend (price below Supertrend line, implying an uptrend context where price is expected to stay above/rebound from Supertrend). Similarly, for short trades, both must be indicating a bullish trend (price above Supertrend line, implying a downtrend context where price is expected to stay below/retest Supertrend).
Trend "Readiness": The strategy specifically looks for situations where the Supertrend has been stable for a few bars (checking barssince the last direction change).
Long-Term Market Bias (200 SMA):
A 200-period Simple Moving Average is plotted on the chart.
Filter: For long trades, the price must be above the 200 SMA, confirming an overall bullish bias. For short trades, the price must be below the 200 SMA, confirming an overall bearish bias. This acts as a macro filter, ensuring trades are taken in alignment with the broader market direction.
"Lowest/Highest Value" Pullback Entries:
The strategy employs custom functions (LowestValueAndBar, HighestValueAndBar) to identify specific price action within the recent trend:
For Long Entries: It looks for a "buy ready" condition where the price has found a recent lowest point within a specific number of bars since the Supertrend turned bearish (indicating an uptrend). This suggests a potential pullback or consolidation before continuation. The entry trigger is a close above the open of this identified lowest bar, and also above the current bar's open.
For Short Entries: It looks for a "sell ready" condition where the price has found a recent highest point within a specific number of bars since the Supertrend turned bullish (indicating a downtrend). This suggests a potential rally or consolidation before continuation downwards. The entry trigger is a close below the open of this identified highest bar, and also below the current bar's open.
Candle Confirmation: The strategy also incorporates a check on the candle type at the "lowest/highest value" bar (e.g., closevalue_b < openvalue_b for buy signals, meaning a bearish candle at the low, suggesting a potential reversal before a buy).
Risk Management and Position Sizing:
Dynamic Lot Sizing: The lotsvalue function calculates the appropriate position size based on your Your Equity input, the Risk to Reward ratio, and your risk percentage for your balance % input. This ensures that the capital risked per trade remains consistent as a percentage of your equity, regardless of the instrument's volatility or price. The stop loss distance is directly used in this calculation.
Fixed Risk Reward: All trades are entered with a predefined Risk to Reward ratio (default 2.0). This means for every unit of risk (stop loss distance), the target profit is rr times that distance.
Daily and Monthly Performance Monitoring:
The strategy tracks todaysWins, todaysLosses, and res (daily net result) in real-time.
A "daily profit target" is implemented (day_profit): If the daily net result is very favorable (e.g., res >= 4 with todaysLosses >= 2 or todaysWins + todaysLosses >= 8), the strategy may temporarily halt trading for the remainder of the session to "lock in" profits and prevent overtrading during volatile periods.
A "monthly stop-out" (monthly_trade) is implemented: If the lres (overall net result from all closed trades) falls below a certain threshold (e.g., -12), the strategy will stop trading for a set period (one week in this case) to protect capital during prolonged drawdowns.
Trade Execution:
Entry Triggers: Trades are entered when all buy/sell conditions (Supertrend alignment, SMA filter, "buy/sell situation" candle confirmation, and risk management checks) are met, and there are no open positions.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically placed at the upTrendValue for long trades and downTrendValue for short trades. These values are derived from the Supertrend indicator, which naturally adjusts to market volatility.
Take Profit: The take profit is calculated based on the entry price, the stop loss, and the Risk to Reward ratio (rr).
Position Locks: lock_long and lock_short variables prevent immediate re-entry into the same direction once a trade is initiated, or after a trend reversal based on Supertrend changes.
Visual Elements:
The 200 SMA is plotted in yellow.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit lines are plotted in white, red, and green respectively when a trade is active, with shaded areas between them to visually represent risk and reward.
Diamond shapes are plotted at the bottom of the chart (green for potential buy signals, red for potential sell signals) to visually indicate when the buy_sit or sell_sit conditions are met, along with other key filters.
A comprehensive trade statistics table is displayed on the chart, showing daily wins/losses, daily profit, total deals, and overall profit/loss.
A background color indicates the active trading session.
Ideal Usage:
This strategy is best applied to instruments with clear trends and sufficient liquidity. Users should carefully adjust the Your Equity, Risk to Reward, and risk percentage inputs to align with their individual risk tolerance and capital. Experimentation with different ATR Length and Factor values for the Supertrend might be beneficial depending on the asset and timeframe.
BVB dominance bars
Hello everyone, this is my first indicator. these candles shows you who's in control. I like to think its some what close to heikin ashi candles as it shows you the Trend but doesn't average it out. also shows you when there is indecision. please read the instructions on how it works. its not a stand alone strategy. but adds value to your own strategy.
📖 How It Works
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is a visual tool that colors candles based on market control—whether bulls or bears are in charge. It uses a custom metric comparing the price's relationship to a smoothed moving average (EMA), then normalizes that difference over time to express relative bullish or bearish pressure.
Here’s the breakdown:
Bulls vs Bears Logic:
A short-term EMA (default: 14-period) is used to establish a midpoint reference.
Bull Pressure is calculated as how far the high is above this EMA.
Bear Pressure is how far the low is below this EMA.
These are normalized over a lookback period (default: 120 bars) to produce percentile scores (0–100) for both bulls and bears.
Dominance & Color Coding:
The indicator compares normalized bull and bear scores.
Candles are color-coded based on:
Bright Lime: Strong Bull Dominance (with high confidence)
Soft Lime/Yellow: Moderate Bull Control
Bright Red: Strong Bear Dominance
Soft Red/Yellow: Moderate Bear Control
Gray: Neutral/Low conviction
Optional Live Label:
A small floating label shows who has control: “Bull Control,” “Bear Control,” or “Neutral.”
🧠 How to Use It (Example Strategy)
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal but a market sentiment overlay. It’s most effective when combined with your own strategy, like price action or trend-following tools.
Here’s an example use case:
🧪 Reversal Confirmation Strategy
Objective: Catch high-probability reversals during key kill zones or supply/demand levels.
Setup:
Mark your key support/resistance zones using your standard method (e.g., FVGs, liquidity sweeps, or ICT PD arrays).
Wait for price to reach one of these zones.
Watch candle colors from the BvB Dominance Bars:
If you expect a bullish reversal, wait for a transition from red/gray candles to lime green or bright lime (bullish dominance taking over).
If you expect a bearish reversal, look for a change from green/gray to red or bright red.
Entry Filter:
Only enter if the dominant color holds for 2+ candles.
Avoid trades when candles are gray or yellow (indecision/neutral).
Exit Option:
Exit if dominance shifts against you (e.g., from lime to red), or use structure-based stops.
⚙️ Settings You Can Adjust:
BvB Period: Controls how fast EMA responds.
Bars Back: Determines how long the normalization looks back.
Thresholds: Influence how strong the dominance must be to change candle color.
✅ Best Used When:
You already have a bias and just want a confirmation of sentiment.
You're trading intraday and want a feel for shifting momentum without relying on noisy indicators.
You want a clean, color-coded overlay to help filter out fakeouts and indecision.
CCI Divergence Detector
A technical analysis tool that identifies divergences between price action and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) oscillator. Unlike standard divergence indicators, this system employs advanced gradient visualization, multi-layer wave effects, and comprehensive customization options to provide traders with crystal-clear divergence signals and market momentum insights.
Core Detection Mechanism
CCI-Based Analysis: The indicator utilizes the Commodity Channel Index as its primary oscillator, calculated from user-configurable source data (default: HLC3) with adjustable length parameters. The CCI provides reliable momentum readings that effectively highlight price-momentum divergences.
Dynamic Pivot Detection: The system employs adaptive pivot detection with three sensitivity levels (High/Normal/Low) to identify significant highs and lows in both price and CCI values. This dynamic approach ensures optimal divergence detection across different market conditions and timeframes.
Dual Divergence Analysis:
Regular Bullish Divergences: Detected when price makes lower lows while CCI makes higher lows, indicating potential upward reversal
Regular Bearish Divergences: Identified when price makes higher highs while CCI makes lower highs, signaling potential downward reversal
Strength Classification System: Each detected divergence is automatically classified into three strength categories (Weak/Moderate/Strong) based on:
-Price differential magnitude
-CCI differential magnitude
-Time duration between pivot points
-User-configurable strength multiplier
Advanced Visual System
Multi-Layer Wave Effects: The indicator features a revolutionary wave visualization system that creates depth through multiple gradient layers around the CCI line. The wave width dynamically adjusts based on ATR volatility, providing intuitive visual feedback about market conditions.
Professional Color Gradient System: Nine independent color inputs control every visual aspect:
Bullish Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Control oversold areas, wave effects, and strong bullish signals
Bearish Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Manage overbought zones, wave fills, and strong bearish signals
Neutral Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Handle table elements, zero line, and transitional states
Intelligent Color Mapping: Colors automatically adapt based on CCI values:

Parabolic-Fibonacci MA ForecastThis indicator displays a series of projected price levels based on Fibonacci moving averages. For each selected Fibonacci period, it calculates a simple moving average (SMA) and mirrors the distance from the current price to that SMA in the opposite direction, creating a vertical forecast distance. These forecast distances are drawn forward into the future using geometric spacing (squared increments: 1², 2², 3², etc.), creating a fan-like or polyline visual structure.
Users can choose between three display modes:
Fan: Lines drawn from the current price to projected values at increasing intervals
Polyline: Forecast points connected to form a jagged projection path
Both: Displays both fan and polyline structures simultaneously
Options are provided to adjust the number of Fibonacci lines (up to 12), line width, and colors for lines above/below price or up/down slope.
This tool can help visualize directional price tendencies using multiple SMA-based forecasts in a spatially meaningful layout.
Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI)Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - Where Physics Meets Finance
The Quantum Revolution in Market Analysis
After months of research into quantum mechanics and its applications to financial markets, I'm thrilled to present the Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - a groundbreaking approach that models price action through the lens of quantum physics. This isn't just another technical indicator; it's a paradigm shift in how we understand market behavior.
The Theoretical Foundation
Quantum Superposition in Markets
In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed. Similarly, markets exist in a superposition of potential states (bullish, bearish, neutral) until a significant volume event "collapses" the wave function into a definitive direction.
The mathematical framework:
Wave Function (Ψ): Represents the market's quantum state as a weighted sum of all possible states:
Ψ = Σ(αᵢ × Sᵢ)
Where αᵢ are probability amplitudes and Sᵢ are individual quantum states.
Probability Amplitudes: Calculated using the Born rule, normalized so Σ|αᵢ|² = 1
Observation Operator: Volume/Average Volume ratio determines observation strength
The Five Quantum States
Momentum State: Short-term price velocity (EMA of returns)
Mean Reversion State: Deviation from equilibrium (normalized z-score)
Volatility Expansion State: ATR relative to historical average
Trend Continuation State: Long-term price positioning
Chaos State: Volatility of volatility (market uncertainty)
Each state contributes to the overall wave function based on current market conditions.
Wave Function Collapse
When volume exceeds the observation threshold (default 1.5x average), the wave function "collapses," committing the market to a direction. This models how institutional volume forces markets out of uncertainty into trending states.
Collapse Detection Formula:
Collapse = Volume > (Threshold × Average Volume)
Direction = Sign(Ψ) at collapse moment
Advanced Quantum Concepts
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The indicator calculates market uncertainty as the product of price and momentum
uncertainties:
ΔP × ΔM = ℏ (market uncertainty constant)
This manifests as dynamic uncertainty bands that widen during unstable periods.
Quantum Tunneling
Calculates the probability of price "tunneling" through resistance/support barriers:
P(tunnel) = e^(-2×|barrier_height|×√coherence_length)
Unlike classical technical analysis, this gives probability of breakouts before they occur.
Entanglement
Measures the quantum correlation between price and volume:
Entanglement = |Correlation(Price, Volume, lookback)|
High entanglement suggests coordinated institutional activity.
Decoherence
When market states lose quantum properties and behave classically:
Decoherence = 1 - Σ(amplitude²)
Indicates trend emergence from quantum uncertainty.
Visual Innovation
Probability Clouds
Three-tier probability distributions visualize market uncertainty:
Inner Cloud (68%): One standard deviation - most likely price range
Middle Cloud (95%): Two standard deviations - probable extremes
Outer Cloud (99.7%): Three standard deviations - tail risk zones
Cloud width directly represents market uncertainty - wider clouds signal higher entropy states.
Quantum State Visualization
Colored dots represent individual quantum states:
Green: Momentum state strength
Red: Mean reversion state strength
Yellow: Volatility state strength
Dot brightness indicates amplitude (influence) of each state.
Collapse Events
Aqua Diamonds (Above): Bullish collapse - upward commitment
Pink Diamonds (Below): Bearish collapse - downward commitment
These mark precise moments when markets exit superposition.
Implementation Details
Core Calculations
Feature Extraction: Normalize price returns, volume ratios, and volatility measures
State Calculation: Compute each quantum state's value
Amplitude Assignment: Weight states by market conditions and observation strength
Wave Function: Sum weighted states for final market quantum state
Visualization: Transform quantum values to price space for display

Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. While quantum mechanics provides a fascinating framework for market analysis, no indicator can predict future prices with certainty. The probabilistic nature of both quantum mechanics and markets means outcomes are inherently uncertain.
Always use proper risk management, conduct thorough analysis, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Conclusion
The Quantum State Superposition Indicator represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis, bringing institutional-grade quantum modeling to retail traders. By viewing markets through the lens of quantum mechanics, we gain unique insights into uncertainty, probability, and state transitions that classical indicators miss.
Whether you're a physicist interested in finance or a trader seeking cutting-edge tools, QSSI opens new dimensions in market analysis.
"The market, like Schrödinger's cat, exists in multiple states until observed through volume."
* As you may have noticed, the past two indicators I've released (Lorentzian Classification and Quantum State Superposition) are designed with strategy implementation in mind. I'm currently developing a stable execution platform that's completely unique and moves away from traditional ATR-based position sizing and stop loss systems. I've found ATR-based approaches to be unreliable in volatile markets and regime transitions - they often lag behind actual market conditions and can lead to premature exits or oversized positions during volatility spikes.
The goal is to create something that adapts to market conditions in real-time using the quantum and relativistic principles we've been exploring. Hopefully I'll have something groundbreaking to share soon. Stay tuned!

Linear Regression ForecastDescription:
This indicator computes a series of simple linear regressions anchored at the current bar, using look-back windows from 2 bars up to the user-defined maximum. Each regression line is projected forward by the same number of bars as its look-back, producing a family of forecast endpoints. These endpoints are then connected into a continuous polyline: ascending segments are drawn in green, and descending segments in red.
Inputs:
maxLength – Maximum number of bars to include in the longest regression (minimum 2)
priceSource – Price series used for regression (for example, close, open, high, low)
lineWidth – Width of each line segment
Calculation:
For each window size N (from 2 to maxLength):
• Compute least-squares slope and intercept over the N most recent bars (with bar 0 = current bar, bar 1 = one bar ago, etc.).
• Project the regression line to bar_index + N to obtain the forecast price.
Collected forecast points are sorted by projection horizon and then joined:
• First segment: current bar’s price → first forecast point
• Subsequent segments: each forecast point → next forecast point
Segment colors reflect slope direction: green for non-negative, red for negative.
Usage:
Apply this overlay to any price chart. Adjust maxLength to control the depth and reach of the forecast fan. Observe how shorter windows produce nearer-term, more reactive projections, while longer windows yield smoother, more conservative forecasts. Use the colored segments to gauge the overall bias of the fan at each step.
Limitations:
This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. It relies on linear regression assumptions and past price behavior; it does not guarantee future performance. Users should combine it with other technical or fundamental analyses and risk management practices.
SOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only RunnerSOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only Runner
This is a trend-following strategy built for leveraged ETFs like SOXL, designed to ride high-momentum waves with minimal interference. Unlike most short-term scalping scripts, this model allows trades to develop over multiple days to even several months, capitalizing on the full power of extended directional moves — all without using a stop-loss.
🔍 How It Works
Entry Logic:
Price is above the 200 EMA (long-term trend confirmation)
Supertrend is bullish (momentum confirmation)
ATR is rising (volatility expansion)
Volume is above its 20-bar average (liquidity filter)
Price is outside a small buffer zone from the 200 EMA (to avoid whipsaws)
Trades are restricted to market hours only (9 AM to 2 PM EST)
Cooldown of 15 bars after each exit to prevent overtrading
Exit Strategy:
Takes partial profit at +2× ATR if held for at least 2 bars
Rides the remaining position with a trailing stop at 1.5× ATR
No hard stop-loss — giving space for volatile pullbacks
⚙️ Strategy Settings
Initial Capital: $500
Risk per Trade: 100% of equity (fully allocated per entry)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Recalculate after order is filled
Fill orders on bar close
Timeframe Optimized For: 45-minute chart
These parameters simulate an aggressive, high-volatility trading model meant for forward-testing compounding potential under realistic trading costs.
✅ What Makes This Unique
No stop-loss = fewer premature exits
Partial profit-taking helps lock in early wins

Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Decimal EMAImagine you want a moving average line, but you want its "length" or "period" to be super precise, like 2.7 days instead of just 2 days or 3 days.
This script lets you do that. Here's the simple idea:
You Pick a Decimal Number: In the settings, you can type in a period with a decimal, say, 2.7.
The Script Does a Smart Blend:
It first calculates two regular EMAs: one for the whole number below your choice (EMA for 2 days) and one for the whole number above (EMA for 3 days).
Then, it cleverly mixes these two EMA lines. Since 2.7 is closer to 3 than to 2, it takes more from the "3-day EMA" and a bit less from the "2-day EMA." (Specifically, it takes 70% from the 3-day EMA and 30% from the 2-day EMA).
You Get a Decimal EMA Line: The result is a new EMA line that acts as if its period was exactly 2.7. This line is drawn on your chart.
Why do this?
It allows for very fine-tuned adjustments to how responsive your moving average is, giving a smoother change if you're testing slightly different period lengths.
In Short:
This script calculates an EMA for a period like "2.7" by intelligently blending the results of an EMA for "2" and an EMA for "3".
Chaikin Momentum Scalper🎯 Overview
The Chaikin Momentum Scalper is a powerful trading strategy designed to identify momentum shifts in the market and ride the trend for maximum profits. This strategy is ideal for trading the USD/JPY currency pair on a 15-minute chart, making it perfect for high-frequency trading (HFT). Whether you’re starting with a small account of $1,000 or managing a larger portfolio, this strategy can scale to suit your needs.
________________________________________
🔑 How the Strategy Works
Here’s how the Chaikin Momentum Scalper identifies trade opportunities:
1️⃣ Momentum Detection
The core of this strategy is the Chaikin Oscillator, a tool that measures the flow of money into or out of a market. It helps us understand whether buyers (bulls) or sellers (bears) are in control.
• When the indicator crosses above zero, it signals that buying momentum is picking up – a buying opportunity.
• When the indicator crosses below zero, it signals that selling momentum is increasing – a selling opportunity.
2️⃣ Trend Confirmation
We don’t just jump into trades based on momentum alone. We also use a 200-period simple moving average (SMA) to confirm the overall trend.
• If the price is above the SMA, it confirms an uptrend, so we look for buy trades.
• If the price is below the SMA, it confirms a downtrend, so we look for sell trades.
This way, we align our trades with the broader market direction for higher success rates.
3️⃣ Volatility & Risk Management
We use a tool called the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. This helps us:
• Set a stop-loss (where we’ll exit the trade if the market moves against us) at a safe distance from our entry point.
• Set a take-profit (where we’ll lock in profits) at a target that’s larger than the stop-loss, ensuring a good reward-to-risk ratio.
This approach adapts to the market’s behavior, tightening stops in calmer conditions and widening them when volatility increases.

📝 Important Notes
📌 This strategy is best used for USD/JPY on a 15-minute chart, making it great for high-frequency trading while you continue to build and refine your trading system.
📌 It’s designed to work on both small ($1,000+) and large accounts, so it can grow with you as your capital increases.
📌 While it has passed deep backtesting on this pair and timeframe, remember that no strategy is perfect. It’s crucial to test it yourself, start with a demo account, and apply proper risk management before trading real money.
🌟 Final Thoughts
The Chaikin Momentum Scalper is a solid, adaptable trading approach combining momentum, trend direction, and volatility awareness. If you’re looking for a strategy to kick-start your trading journey—or to add to your existing system—it offers a strong foundation.
Grid Tendence V1The “Grid Tendence V1” strategy is based on the classic Grid strategy, only in this case the entries and exits are made in favor of the trend, which allows to take advantage of large movements to maximize profits, since it is also possible to enter and exit with the balance with a controlled risk, because precisely the distance between each Grid works as a natural and adaptable stop loss and take profit. This fact helps to avoid overlapping entries and exits that would result from using stop loss and take profit as limit orders.
In this version of the script the entries and exits are always at market, and based on the percentage change of the price, not on the profit or loss of the current position.
The user will notice that the strategy setup is based on a controlled risk, risking 5% on each trade, a fairly standard commission and a modest initial capital, all this in order to protect the user of the strategy from unexpected or unrealistic results.
However, it is always recommended to optimize the parameters so that the strategy is effective for each asset and for each time frame.

EMD Trend [InvestorUnknown]EMD Trend is a dynamic trend-following indicator that utilizes Exponential Moving Deviation (EMD) to build adaptive channels around a selected moving average. Designed for traders who value responsive trend signals with built-in volatility sensitivity, this tool highlights directional bias, market regime shifts, and potential breakout opportunities.
How It Works
Instead of using standard deviation, EMD Trend employs the exponential moving average of the absolute deviation from a moving average—producing smoother, faster-reacting upper and lower bounds:
Bullish (Risk-ON Long): Price crosses above the upper EMD band
Bearish (Risk-ON Short): Price crosses below the lower EMD band
Neutral: Price stays within the channel, indicating potential mean reversion or low momentum
Trend direction is defined by price interaction with these bands, and visual cues (color-coded bars and fills) help quickly identify market conditions.

RMSD Trend [InvestorUnknown]RMSD Trend is a trend-following indicator that utilizes Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) to dynamically construct a volatility-weighted trend channel around a selected moving average. This indicator is designed to enhance signal clarity, minimize noise, and offer quantitative insights into market momentum, ideal for both discretionary and systematic traders.
How It Works
At its core, RMSD Trend calculates a deviation band around a selected moving average using the Root Mean Square Deviation (similar to standard deviation but with squared errors), capturing the magnitude of price dispersion over a user-defined period. The logic is simple:
When price crosses above the upper deviation band, the market is considered bullish (Risk-ON Long).
When price crosses below the lower deviation band, the market is considered bearish (Risk-ON Short).
If price stays within the band, the market is interpreted as neutral or ranging, offering low-risk decision zones.
The indicator also generates trend flips (Long/Short) based on crossovers and crossunders of the price and the RMSD bands, and colors candles accordingly for enhanced visual feedback.
Features
7 Moving Average Types: Choose between SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA for flexibility.
Customizable Source Input: Use price types like close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.
Volatility-Aware Channel: Adjustable RMSD multiplier determines band width based on volatility.
Smart Coloring: Candles and bands adapt their colors to reflect trend direction (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Intra-bar Repainting Toggle: Option to allow more responsive but repaintable signals.
Speculation Fill Zones: When price exceeds the deviation channel, a semi-transparent fill highlights potential momentum surges.
Backtest Mode
Switching to Backtest Mode unlocks a robust suite of simulation features:
Built-in Equity Curve: Visualizes both strategy equity and Buy & Hold performance.
Trade Metrics Table: Displays the number of trades, win rates, gross profits/losses, and long/short breakdowns.
Performance Metrics Table: Includes key stats like CAGR, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and more.
Custom Date Range: Set a custom start date for your backtest.
Trade Sizing: Simulate results using position sizing and initial capital settings.
Signal Filters: Choose between Long & Short, Long Only, or Short Only strategies.
Alerts
The RMSD Trend includes six built-in alert conditions:
LONG (RMSD Trend) - Trend flips from Short to Long
SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Trend flips from Long to Short
RISK-ON LONG (RMSD Trend) - Price crosses above upper RMSD band
RISK-OFF LONG (RMSD Trend) - Price falls back below upper RMSD band
RISK-ON SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Price crosses below lower RMSD band
RISK-OFF SHORT (RMSD Trend) - Price rises back above lower RMSD band
Use Cases

Trailing Stop Loss [TradingFinder] 4 Machine Learning Methods🔵 Introduction
The trailing stop indicator dynamically adjusts stop-loss (SL) levels to lock in profits as price moves favorably. It uses pivot levels and ATR to set optimal SL points, balancing risk and reward.
Trade confirmation filters, a key feature, ensure entries align with market conditions, reducing false signals. In 2023 a study showed filtered entries improve win rates by 15% in forex. This enhances trade precision.
SL settings, ranging from very tight to very wide, adapt to volatility via ATR calculations. These settings anchor SL to previous pivot levels, ensuring alignment with market structure. This caters to diverse trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
The indicator colors the profit zone between the entry point (EP) and SL, using light green for buy trades and light red for sell trades. This visual cue highlights profit potential. It’s ideal for traders seeking dynamic risk management.
A table displays real-time trade details, including EP, SL, and profit/loss (PNL). Backtests show trailing stops cut losses by 20% in trending markets. This transparency aids decision-making.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 SL Levels
The trailing stop indicator sets SL based on pivot levels and ATR, offering four options: very tight, tight, wide, or very wide. Very tight SLs suit scalpers, while wide SLs fit swing traders. Select the base level to match your strategy.
If price hits the SL, the trade closes, and the indicator evaluates the next trade using the selected filter. This ensures disciplined trade management. The cycle restarts with a new confirmed entry.
Very tight SLs, set near recent pivots, trigger exits early to minimize risk but limit profits in volatile markets. Wide SLs, shown as farther lines, allow more price movement but increase exposure to losses. Adjust based on ATR and conditions, noting SL breaches open new positions.
🟣 Visualization
The indicator’s visual cues, like colored profit zones, simplify monitoring, with light green showing the profit area from EP to trailed SL. Dashed lines mark entry points, while solid lines track the trailed SL, triggering new positions when breached.
When price moves into profit, the area between EP and SL is colored—light green for longs, light red for shorts. This highlights the profit zone visually. The SL trails price, locking in gains as the trade progresses.
🟣 Filters
Upon trade entry, the indicator requires confirmation via filters like SMA 2x or ADX to validate momentum. Filters reduce false entries, though no guarantee exists for improved outcomes. Monitor price action post-entry for trade validity.
Filters like Momentum or ADX assess trend strength before entry. For example, ADX above 25 confirms strong trends. Choose “none” for unfiltered entries.
🟣 Bullish Alert
For a bullish trade, the indicator opens a long position with a green SL Line (after optional filters), trailing the SL below price. Set alerts to On in the settings for notifications, or Off to monitor manually.
🟣 Bearish Alert
In a bearish trade, the indicator opens a short position with a red SL Line post-confirmation, trailing the SL above price. With alerts On in the settings, it notifies the potential reversal.
🟣 Panel
A table displays all trades’ details, including Win Rates, PNL, and trade status. This real-time data aids in tracking performance. Check the table to assess trade outcomes instantly.
Review the table regularly to evaluate trade performance and adjust settings. Consistent monitoring ensures alignment with market dynamics. This maximizes the indicator’s effectiveness.
🔵 Settings
Length (Default: 10) : Sets the pivot period for calculating SL levels, balancing sensitivity and reliability.
Base Level : Options (“Very tight,” “Tight,” “Wide,” “Very wide”) adjust SL distance via ATR.
Show EP Checkbox : Toggles visibility of the entry point on the chart.
Show PNL : Displays profit/loss data for active and closed trades.
Filter : Options (“none,” “SMA 2x,” “Momentum,” “ADX”) validate trade entries.
🔵 Conclusion
The trailing stop indicator, a dynamic risk management tool, adjusts SLs using pivot levels and ATR. Its confirmation filters reduce false entries, boosting precision. Backtests show 20% loss reduction in trending markets.
Customizable SL settings and visual profit zones enhance usability across trading styles. The real-time table provides clear trade insights, streamlining analysis. It’s ideal for forex, stocks, or crypto.
While filters like ADX improve entry accuracy, no setup guarantees success in all conditions. Contextual analysis, like trend strength, is key. This indicator empowers disciplined, data-driven trading.
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals
4. Rothko Visualization

- Use for options strategies
Originality & Innovation
LMI represents a genuine breakthrough in applying chaos theory to markets:
True Lyapunov Calculation: Not a simplified proxy but actual phase space reconstruction and divergence measurement
Rothko Aesthetic: Transforms complex math into meditative visual experience
Regime Detection: Identifies market state changes before price makes them obvious
Practical Application: Clear, actionable signals from theoretical physics
This is not a combination of existing indicators or a visual makeover of standard tools. It's a fundamental rethinking of how we measure and visualize market dynamics.

Note: After completing this indicator, I discovered @loxx's 2022 "Lyapunov Hodrick-Prescott Oscillator w/ DSL". While both explore Lyapunov exponents, they represent independent implementations with different methodologies and applications. This indicator uses phase space reconstruction for regime detection, while his combines Lyapunov concepts with HP filtering.
