Experimental Research: Cycle Biologique Strategy
Overview
The "Cycle Biologique Strategy" is an experimental trading algorithm designed to leverage periodic cycles in price movements by utilizing a sinusoidal function. This strategy aims to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of a custom-defined biological cycle.
Key Parameters
Cycle Length: This parameter defines the duration of the cycle, set by default to 30 periods. The user can adjust this value to optimize the strategy for different asset classes or market conditions.
Amplitude: The amplitude of the cycle influences the scale of the sinusoidal wave, allowing for customization in the sensitivity of buy and sell signals.
Offset: The offset parameter introduces phase shifts to the cycle, adjustable within a range of -360 to 360 degrees. This flexibility allows the strategy to align with various market rhythms.
Methodology
The core of the strategy lies in the calculation of a periodic cycle using a sinusoidal function.
Trading Signals
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the cycle value crosses above zero, indicating a potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the cycle value crosses below zero, suggesting a potential downtrend.
Execution
The strategy executes trades based on these signals:
Upon receiving a buy signal, the algorithm enters a long position.
When a sell signal occurs, the strategy closes the long position.
Visualization
To enhance user experience, the periodic cycle is plotted visually on the chart in blue, allowing traders to observe the cyclical nature of the strategy and its alignment with market movements.

Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2 /b]
Overview
Welcome to Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2—a next-generation momentum indicator engineered to surpass traditional tools like MACD and standard cRSI with its dynamic adaptability and cutting-edge cycle analysis. Optimized for volatile assets like XRP on a 2-hour (2H) timeframe, this indicator leverages advanced Hurst cycle integration and a dual-signal system (intent and confirmation) to pinpoint momentum shifts with unparalleled accuracy. Below, we’ll explore its operation using a 2H XRP chart as a live example, showcasing why it’s a game-changer for crypto trading and beyond.
Key Features & Benefits
a) Dynamic Nature for Superior Accuracy
Unlike static indicators like MACD or traditional cRSI, Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2 dynamically adjusts its cycle length based on real-time price action. On a 2H XRP chart, the dominant cycle length (domCycle) adapts between 10 and 30 bars, reflecting XRP’s rapid momentum shifts. This fluidity ensures signals align with the market’s current rhythm—far more precise than MACD’s fixed periods or cRSI’s rigid lookbacks.
b) Hurst Cycles for Enhanced Precision
The indicator incorporates Hurst exponent analysis, a powerful tool for identifying cyclical patterns in price data. On XRP 2H, Hurst cycles refine momentum signals by filtering noise, ensuring trend changes—like those in early March 2025—align with underlying market rhythms. This precision catches reversals that simpler indicators miss, giving traders a deeper edge.
c) Intent and Confirmation Signals Explained
The dual-signal system is a standout feature:
Intent Signals: Appear instantly at crossover points as early warnings. On XRP 2H, a solid turquoise upward marker (#82D5F6) below the bar signals a potential low band crossover (bullish), while a solid yellow downward marker (#FFFF00) above flags a high band crossover (bearish). For example, on March 19th, 2025, a yellow intent signal hinted at a top-band crossunder.
Confirmation Signals: Follow one bar later if cRSI moves >3%, locking in the trend. Larger solid turquoise or yellow markers confirm the move—see March 25th, 2025, where a confirmed yellow signal validated a bearish shift. Additionally, 50% band crossovers (mid-range pivots) use semi-transparent markers (55% transparency) for nuanced momentum insights.
d) Cycle Changes as Bear/Bull Indicators
Cycle length shifts (domCycle) reveal market regimes. On XRP 2H, an increase (green circle with white number below the bar) signals lengthening cycles, often tied to bullish consolidation—check the buildup before March’s rally. A decrease (red circle above) indicates shortening cycles, typical of bearish exhaustion—visible post-March 25th downturn. These shifts guide your bias in real time.
e) Multiple Signals in Close Proximity
When signals cluster, they amplify confidence. On XRP 2H around mid-March 2025, a flurry of intent signals, confirmed crossovers, and a domCycle decrease within a few bars screamed bearish momentum—confirmed by XRP’s drop. This convergence, paired with whale-driven pumps (dark green flags) or dumps (dark red flags), is your cue to trust the trend.
f) Crypto-Optimized Design with Multi-Asset Flexibility
Built for cryptocurrencies like XRP, the indicator thrives in high-volatility environments. Its default settings are tuned for 2H crypto charts, balancing responsiveness and stability. However, it adapts to stocks, forex, and commodities via customizable inputs—see the table below for tailored values.
Input Values for Different Timeframes (Crypto-Optimized) www.dropbox.com
Customizing Inputs for Asset Classes
The Inputs tab offers flexibility:
Use Auto Dominant Cycle Length: Default true for crypto’s dynamic cycles (e.g., XRP). Set to false and adjust Manual Dominant Cycle Length (e.g., 50) for slower assets like stocks.
Cycle Smoothing EMA Period: Default 3 for XRP’s volatility—try 5-7 for smoother markets like forex.
Volume/Price Thresholds: Base Volume Threshold (2.0) and Base Price Change % Threshold (1.5) suit XRP 2H. Increase for high-volume assets (e.g., BTC) or decrease for low-volatility (e.g., forex).
Use Volume Weighted Candles: Default true—prompts a switch to VWC for optimal XRP 2H results. Toggle off if volume data is sparse (e.g., forex line charts).
How to Use on XRP 2H
Apply the Indicator: Add Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2 to your 2H XRP chart.
Watch Intent Signals: Turquoise upward markers (bullish) or yellow downward markers (bearish) offer early heads-ups.
Confirm with Larger Signals: Solid markers one bar later validate momentum—key on March 19th/25th, 2025.
Track Cycle Changes: Green (bullish lengthening) or red (bearish shortening) circles signal regime shifts.
Combine Signals: Clusters near whale flags (dark green/dark red) confirm XRP’s direction.
Adjust Inputs: Fine-tune for XRP or adapt for other assets.
Why It Beats MACD & cRSI
On XRP 2H, MACD lags with fixed EMAs, missing rapid swings, while standard cRSI lacks cycle depth. Cyclical Momentum Pivots V2 adapts dynamically, integrates Hurst cycles, and delivers intent/confirmation precision—offering actionable insights where others falter.

BTC 1h bot 1.0 StrategyThis is Strategy version of BTC 1h bot 1.0.
Optimized for pairs BTC vs stablecoins, 1h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS:
Script is based on the fact that there are certain phases of the market when there is a greater probability that BTC will go to one side or the other. To evaluate which phase we are in, the script uses "Main trend" and "Confirmation signals".
Main trend
- Is composed of a combination of several supertrends and moving averages. A supertrend is a trend following indicator that helps in identifying whether we are in an uptrend or a downtrend. A higher factor is used to capture the main trend and not just small movements. In case the market goes sideways, the supertrend does not work well, so it is a combination of multiple supertrends along with moving averages to differentiate a real strong trend from a range.
- It can be seen on the graph as a thick solid line.
- In an uptrend is green, in a downtrend red, gray represents the neutral zone.
Confirmation signals
- Are several script-evaluated indicators such as RSI , MACD , ADX and others, which serve to confirm the trend. In this case, it is the opposite way to the Main trend. Confirmation signals are used here to detect small movements. They are trying to capture bullish and bearish price momentum.
- On the graph they are seen as dashed lines above or below the Main trend (in the gray zone they are in the middle).
- It indicates only two signals, green for buy and red for sell.
HOW TO USE IT:
if the Main trend and Confirmation signals are of the same color, it will send a buy or sell signal, depending on which phase of the trend it is in. If the Main trend is e.g. in an uptrend and the market is going up, Confirmation signals should generate a lot of signals. But if the market starts to go in the opposite direction, Confirmation signals should generate fewer signals or none at all, thus reducing the number of wrong trades. In the gray zone of the Main trend it does not open positions.
To close position is possible to use stop loss and take profit or alternative could be to set very high TP value, thereby letting the script close the positions by itself.
In this case, it is a strategy to find out how the script worked in the past period. The longest period in which it is possible to test is on BTC/USD INDEX. The script works consistently well over a long period of time, using past probabilities, but this does not guarantee future results.

Exhaustion and Gap Cluster Indicator V2Below is a complete Pine Script v5 indicator that attempts to meet all your requirements. It does the following:
1. Exhaustion Lines:
• When an “Uptrend Exhaustion?” condition is met, it draws a green horizontal line at that bar’s close that extends 500 bars to the right.
• When a “Downtrend Exhaustion?” condition is met, it draws a red horizontal line at that bar’s close that extends 500 bars to the right.
2. Gap Cluster Labels:
• It counts consecutive bars (a “cluster”) where the close is a certain percentage above or below the 200 SMA.
• If 10 or more consecutive bars close 2.5% above the 200 SMA, it plots a yellow label (above the bar) reading “Caution Gap.”
• If 10 or more consecutive bars close 3.0% above the 200 SMA, it plots an orange label (above the bar) reading “Danger Gap.”
• If 10 or more consecutive bars close 2.5% below the 200 SMA, it plots a yellow label (below the bar) reading “Caution Gap.”
• If 10 or more consecutive bars close 3.0% below the 200 SMA, it plots an orange label (above the bar) reading “Danger Gap.”
(Note: The instructions for the down gap labels are a bit asymmetrical, so I’ve followed them as stated.)

Candle Height & Trend Probability DashboardDescription and Guide
Description:
This Pine Script for TradingView displays a dashboard that calculates the probability of price increases or decreases based on past price movements. It analyzes the last 30 candles (by default) and shows the probabilities for different timeframes (from 1 minute to 1 week). Additionally, it checks volatility using the ATR indicator.
Script Features:
Calculates probabilities of an upward (Up %) or downward (Down %) price move based on past candles.
Displays a dashboard showing probabilities for multiple timeframes.
Color-coded probability display:
Green if the upward probability exceeds a set threshold.
Red if the downward probability exceeds the threshold.
Yellow if neither threshold is exceeded.
Considers volatility using the ATR indicator.
Triggers alerts when probabilities exceed specific values.
How to Use:
Insert the script into TradingView: Copy and paste the script into the Pine Script editor.
Adjust parameters:
lookback: Number of past candles used for calculation (default: 30).
alertThresholdUp & alertThresholdDown: Thresholds for probabilities (default: 51%).
volatilityLength & volatilityThreshold: ATR volatility settings.
dashboardPosition: Choose where the dashboard appears on the chart.
Enable visualization: The dashboard will be displayed over the chart.
Set alerts: The script triggers notifications when probabilities exceed set thresholds.
Intraday Volume Indicator for INDICES by TBTPH Pine Script code for an intraday volume indicator with session and lunch break highlights looks great! Here’s a summary of what each part of the script does:
Indicator Settings:
The indicator is set to show on a separate pane (overlay=false).
The SMA Length is adjustable with an input box (default of 20).
Volume and SMA Calculation:
You calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over the selected length.
The volume color is determined based on whether the close price is higher or lower than the previous close and if the volume is above or below the SMA.
Volume Plot:
Volume is plotted as a histogram with different colors to indicate if the volume is higher or lower than the SMA.
You plot the SMA of the volume with an orange line for easier comparison.
Background Color:
You set a light gray background color to give a subtle contrast.
NYSE and LSE trading sessions are highlighted with green and blue, respectively.
Lunch break periods are highlighted with a white background for both exchanges.
Here are a couple of improvements or suggestions you might consider:
Session Time Overlap Handling:
If the script is applied to a chart where both NYSE and LSE data is visible, they may overlap depending on the time zone of your chart. Ensure the session times align with the active market's timezone, especially if you are using a chart with a different timezone setting.
Color Customization:
The color scheme for bullish/bearish volume could be enhanced further. For example, you could introduce more transparency for low-volume periods to make the histogram appear more subtle during less active trading times.
Handling Different Time Zones:
If your chart is not in the "America/New_York" or "GMT" time zone, be mindful of the session times. The timestamp function depends on the chart’s time zone, so ensuring you're adjusting for different markets is key.
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.
Enhanced MA and RSI StrategyOverview: Trend following is a strategy that attempts to capture gains through the analysis of an asset's momentum in a particular direction. One of the simplest and most effective ways to implement a trend-following strategy is using moving averages.
Key Components
Indicators Used:
Moving Averages: Typically, a combination of a short-term and a long-term moving average (e.g., 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages).
Entry Signals:
Buy Signal: When the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average (Golden Cross).
Sell Signal: When the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average (Death Cross).
Exit Signals:
Close the position when the opposite signal occurs (i.e., sell when a death cross happens after a buy).
Risk Management:
Set stop-loss orders below the most recent swing low (for long positions) or above the swing high (for short positions).
Use a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Example of the Strategy in Action
Assumptions:
We will use a 50-day moving average as the short-term and a 200-day moving average as the long-term.
Buy Signal Example:
Date: March 1, 2023
Short MA (50-day): $100
Long MA (200-day): $98
Action: Buy when the 50-day MA crosses above the 200-day MA.
Sell Signal Example:
Date: June 1, 2023
Short MA (50-day): $120
Long MA (200-day): $119
Action: Sell when the 50-day MA crosses below the 200-day MA.
Advantages of the Strategy
Simplicity: Easy to understand and implement.
Objective: Removes emotional decision-making by relying on predefined
