Luxy UT BOT Watchlist ScannerUT BOT Watchlist Scanner - User Guide
Version: 1.0
Overview
The Luxy UT BOT Watchlist Scanner is a multi-symbol monitoring tool that combines the UT Bot (Ultimate Trailing Stop) algorithm with real-time scanning capabilities. It allows traders to monitor up to 10 symbols simultaneously for trend reversals based on ATR trailing stops, without needing to manually switch between charts.
What is UT Bot?
UT Bot is a trend-following indicator that uses ATR (Average True Range) to create a dynamic trailing stop. When price crosses above the trailing line, it signals a potential uptrend (BUY). When price crosses below, it signals a potential downtrend (SELL).
Key Features
Real-Time Multi-Symbol Scanning
Monitor up to 10 symbols for UT Bot signals without switching charts. The scanner checks each symbol on your selected timeframe and displays recent flips in a table.
Customizable Timeframe
Scan symbols on any timeframe (1m to Daily) independently of your current chart timeframe. This allows you to trade on 5-minute charts while monitoring 1-hour signals across multiple symbols.
TTL (Time-To-Live) Management
Symbols appear in the table only when they flip and remain visible for a configurable duration (default: 5 minutes). This prevents clutter and focuses attention on recent opportunities.
Real-Time Alerts
Receive TradingView alerts when any monitored symbol flips. Optional daily throttling prevents alert spam on volatile tickers.
On-Chart UT Visualization
Display the UT trailing stop line and buy/sell labels directly on your current chart for manual analysis.
Who Is This For?
Day Traders
Scan multiple stocks or forex pairs for breakout signals without missing opportunities on other charts.
Swing Traders
Monitor a portfolio of assets on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) to catch major trend reversals.
Multi-Asset Traders
Track symbols across different sectors or asset classes simultaneously (stocks, crypto, forex).
Alert-Based Traders
Set up alerts and step away from the screen. Get notified only when your monitored symbols generate signals.
Advantages Over Similar Indicators
Versus Manual Chart Switching
Eliminates the need to cycle through multiple charts manually. All signals appear in one consolidated table.
Versus Single-Symbol UT Bot
Standard UT Bot indicators only work on the current chart. This scanner extends the functionality to 10 symbols at once.
Versus Screeners
Most screeners require premium subscriptions and operate outside TradingView. This tool works entirely within your existing TradingView setup.
Performance Optimized
Smart scanning logic reduces unnecessary calculations. The scanner only processes data when the target timeframe bar is confirmed, minimizing CPU load.
How To Use
Step 1: Add To Chart
Open any chart in TradingView
Click "Indicators" and search for "Luxy UT BOT Watchlist Scanner"
Add the indicator to your chart
Step 2: Configure UT Bot Settings
Sensitivity (Key × ATR)
Controls how tight or loose the trailing stop follows price.
Recommended starting points:
Scalping (1-5m charts): 0.9 - 1.2
Day Trading (5-60m charts): 1.3 - 2.2
Swing Trading (4H-D charts): 1.7 - 3.0
Lower values = more signals, faster reactions, higher noise
Higher values = fewer signals, stronger trends, less noise
ATR Period
Number of bars for volatility calculation.
Recommended starting points:
Scalping: 5-7 bars
Day Trading: 7-14 bars
Swing Trading: 10-21 bars
Shorter periods = more responsive to recent volatility
Longer periods = smoother, less reactive to noise
Step 3: Configure Watchlist Scanner
Symbols to Scan
Enter up to 10 symbols separated by commas.
Example: AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AMZN
For stocks, use the ticker symbol only (not exchange prefix).
For crypto, use the full pair name (BTCUSD, ETHUSD).
For forex, use standard pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD).
Scanner Timeframe
Select the timeframe for signal detection across all symbols.
Recommended combinations:
Chart: 5m, Scanner: 15m (day trading with confirmation)
Chart: 15m, Scanner: 1H (swing trading setup)
Chart: 1H, Scanner: 4H (position trading)
The scanner timeframe can differ from your chart timeframe. This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis.
Keep Hits For (TTL)
How long symbols remain visible in the table after a flip.
Recommended settings:
Active monitoring: 5-10 minutes
Passive monitoring: 15-30 minutes
Symbols that flip again within the TTL window reset the timer.
Step 4: Set Up Alerts (Optional)
To receive notifications when any symbol flips:
Enable "Enable Runtime Alerts" in the scanner settings
Click the TradingView alert button (clock icon)
Set condition to: "Any alert() function call"
Configure your notification preferences (popup, email, webhook)
Click "Create"
Optional: One Alert Per Symbol Per Day
Enable this to limit alerts to once per calendar day per symbol. Useful for volatile tickers that flip multiple times.

Note: These are configuration suggestions, not trading advice. Always test settings on historical data and adjust based on the asset's volatility and your risk tolerance.
Understanding The Table
The watchlist table appears at your selected position (default: bottom left) and displays:
SYMBOL column: Ticker symbol that flipped
SIGNAL column: BUY (green) or SELL (red)
Symbols are sorted with the most recent flip at the bottom.
The table updates in real-time as symbols are scanned. If no symbols are currently active, the table will be empty or show only the header.
Performance Notes
How The Scanner Works
The scanner processes symbols in batches to minimize load. Each bar, it scans up to 10 symbols and checks for signal changes.
The smart timing optimization ensures scanning only occurs when the target timeframe bar is confirmed, reducing unnecessary calculations by approximately 70 percent.
Symbol Limit
The maximum is 10 symbols to maintain performance. If you need to monitor more symbols, you can add the indicator multiple times with different symbol lists.
Calculation Bars
The scanner uses 300 historical bars for accurate signal detection. This ensures proper ATR calculation even when scanning symbols different from your current chart.
Troubleshooting
Table not showing any symbols
Verify symbols are entered correctly (no extra spaces)
Check that symbols are valid for your TradingView plan
Ensure "Show Watchlist Table" is enabled
Wait for at least one symbol to generate a signal
Alerts not triggering
Confirm "Enable Runtime Alerts" is on
Verify you created an alert with condition "Any alert() function call"
Check that you're viewing the chart in real-time (not replay mode)
Invalid symbol errors
Remove any exchange prefixes (use AAPL, not NASDAQ:AAPL)
For crypto, ensure you're using the correct pair format for your exchange
Some symbols may require premium data access
Too many or too few signals
Adjust the Sensitivity value (lower = more signals, higher = fewer signals)
Try a different ATR Period
Consider changing the scanner timeframe

ALMA & UT Bot Confluence StrategyALMA & UT Bot Confluence Strategy
This is a comprehensive trend-following and momentum strategy designed to identify high-probability trade setups by combining multiple layers of confirmation. It is built around an ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) and a long-term EMA, and then enhances signal quality with the popular UT Bot indicator, a Volume Filter, and an adaptive hold mechanism.
The primary goal of this strategy is to filter out market noise, avoid low liquidity traps, and provide more robust and selective trading logic by adapting its timing to changing market volatility.
Key Features and How It Works
This strategy is not a simple crossover system. An entry signal is generated by the confluence of only a few conditions:
Underlying Trend and Signal Engine:
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average): Provides a responsive, low-latency signal line for entries. EMA (Exponential Moving Average): A longer-term EMA acts as a primary trend filter, ensuring trades are executed only in line with the overall market trend.
Confirmation Layer:
UT Bot Confirmation: A trade is considered valid only when the UT Bot indicator provides a relevant buy or sell signal. This acts as a strong secondary confirmation, reducing false entries.
Advanced Filters for Signal Quality:
Volume Filter: This is an important safety mechanism that prevents trades from being executed in low-volume, illiquid markets where price action can be erratic and unreliable.
Momentum Filter (ADX and RSI): The strategy uses the ADX to check for sufficient market momentum and the RSI to ensure it doesn't enter overbought/oversold zones.
Volatility Filter (Bollinger Bands): This helps prevent entries when the price deviates too far from its average, preventing "buying at the top" or "selling at the bottom." Adaptive Timing (Dynamic Cool-Down):
Instead of a fixed waiting period between trades, this strategy uses a dynamic cooling-down period based on the ATR. It automatically waits longer during periods of high volatility (to prevent volatility) and becomes more responsive in calmer markets. How to Use This Strategy:
Long Entry (BUY): When all bullish conditions align, a green "BUY" triangle appears below the price.
Short Entry (SELL): When all bearish conditions align, a red "SELL" triangle appears above the price.
Trend Visualization: The chart background is color-coded according to UT Bot's trend direction (Green for an uptrend, Red for a downtrend), allowing for at-a-glance market analysis.
Double Exit Strategy Options
You have full control over how you exit trades:
Classic SL/TP: Use a standard Stop-Loss and Take-Profit order based on ATR (Average True Range) multipliers. UT Bot Trailing Stop (Recommended): A dynamic exit mechanism that follows the price allows your winning trades to catch up to larger trends while protecting your profits.
Disclaimer
This script is for educational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All trades involve risk. Before risking any capital, we strongly recommend extensively backtesting this strategy across your preferred assets and timeframes to understand its behavior and find settings that suit your personal trading style.
The author recommends using this strategy with Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. Using this method will significantly increase the strategy's trading success rate and profitability in backtests.
You should change the settings according to your preferred chart time range. You can find the best value for you by observing the value changes you make on the chart.
UT Bot + LinReg Candles (Dual Sensitivity)

UT Bot Stochastic RSIUT Bot Stochastic RSI is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. This indicator combines the Stochastic and RSI (Relative Strength Index) oscillators, two of the most popular and effective technical analysis tools, to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions.
The Stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a given time period. The RSI, on the other hand, is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. By combining these two indicators, the UT Bot Stochastic RSI can help traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals.
The UT Bot Stochastic RSI also includes an ATR (Average True Range) trailing stop, which can be used to set stop-loss levels and manage risk. This feature is particularly useful in volatile markets, where price movements can be large and unpredictable.
In addition to its powerful technical analysis tools, the UT Bot Stochastic RSI also includes a backtesting feature, allowing traders to test their strategies on historical data. This can help traders identify the most effective settings for the indicator and improve their trading performance.
Overall, the UT Bot Stochastic RSI is a versatile and effective tool for traders of all levels, providing valuable insights into market conditions and helping to improve trading decisions
Strategy for UT Bot Alerts indicator Using the UT Bot alerts indicator by @QuantNomad, this strategy was designed for showing an example of how this indicator could be used, also, it has the goal to help some people from a group that use to use this indicator for their trading. Under any circumstance I recommend to use it without testing it before in real time.
Backtesting context: 2020-02-05 to 2023-02-25 of BTCUSD 4H by Tvc. Commissions: 0.03% for each entry, 0.03% for each exit. Risk per trade: 2.5% of the total account
For this strategy, 3 indicators are used:
UT Bot Alerts indicator by Quantnomad
One Ema of 200 periods for indicate the trend
Atr stop loss from Gatherio
Trade conditions:
For longs:
Close price is higher than Atr from UT Bot
Ema from UT Bot cross over Atr from UT Bot.
This gives us our long signal. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point), break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 0.75:1 and take profit of 3:1 where half position will be closed. This will be showed as buy (open long position)
The other half will be closed when close price is lower than Atr and Ema from UT Bot cross under Atr. This will be showed as cl buy (close long position)
For shorts:
Close price is lower than Atr from UT Bot
Ema from UT Bot cross over Atr from UT Bot.
This gives us our short signal. Stop loss will be determined by atr stop loss (white point), break even(blue point) by a risk/reward ratio of 0.75:1 and take profit of 3:1 where half position will be closed. This will be showed as sell (open short position)
The other half will be closed when close price is higher than Atr and Ema from UT Bot cross over Atr. This will be showed as cl sell (close short position)
Risk management
For calculate the amount of the position you will use just a small percent of your initial capital for the strategy and you will use the atr stop loss for this.
Example: You have 1000 usd and you just want to risk 2,5% of your account, there is a long signal at price of 20,000 usd. The stop loss price from atr stop loss is 19,000. You calculate the distance in percent between 20,000 and 19,000. In this case, that distance would be of 5,0%. Then, you calculate your position by this way: (initial or current capital * risk per trade of your account) / (stop loss distance).
Using these values on the formula: (1000*2,5%)/(5,0%) = 500usd. It means, you have to use 500 usd for risking 2.5% of your account.
We will use this risk management for apply compound interest.
In settings, with position amount calculator, you can enter the amount in usd of your account and the amount in percentage for risking per trade of the account. You will see this value in green color in the upper left corner that shows the amount in usd to use for risking the specific percentage of your account.
Script functions
Inside of settings, you will find some utilities for display atr stop loss, break evens, positions, signals, indicators, etc.
You will find the settings for risk management at the end of the script if you want to change something. But rebember, do not change values from indicators, the idea is to not over optimize the strategy.
If you want to change the initial capital for backtest the strategy, go to properties, and also enter the commisions of your exchange and slippage for more realistic results.
In risk managment you can find an option called "Use leverage ?", activate this if you want to backtest using leverage, which means that in case of not having enough money for risking the % determined by you of your account using your initial capital, you will use leverage for using the enough amount for risking that % of your acount in a buy position. Otherwise, the amount will be limited by your initial/current capital
---> Do not forget to deactivate Trades on chart option in style settings for a cleaner look of the chart <---
Some things to consider
USE UNDER YOUR OWN RISK. PAST RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT THE FUTURE.
DEPENDING OF % ACCOUNT RISK PER TRADE, YOU COULD REQUIRE LEVERAGE FOR OPEN SOME POSITIONS, SO PLEASE, BE CAREFULL AND USE CORRECTLY THE RISK MANAGEMENT
Do not forget to change commissions and other parameters related with back testing results!
Strategies for trending markets use to have more looses than wins and it takes a long time to get profits, so do not forget to be patient and consistent !
---> The strategy can still be improved, you can change some parameters depending of the asset and timeframe like risk/reward for taking profits, for break even, also the main parameters of the UT Bot Alerts <----
