QQQ Strategy v2 ESL | easy-peasy-x This is a strategy optimized for QQQ (and SPY) for the 1H timeframe. It significantly outperforms passive buy-and-hold approach. With settings adjustments, it can be used on various assets like stocks and cryptos and various timeframes, although the default out of the box settings favor QQQ 1H.
The strategy uses various triggers to take both long and short trades. These can be adjusted in settings. If you try a different asset, see what combination of triggers works best for you.
Some of the triggers employ LuxAlgo's Ultimate RSI - shoutout to him for great script, check it out here .
Other triggers are based on custom signed standard deviation - basically the idea is to trade Bollinger Bands expansions (long to the upside, short to the downside) and fade or stay out of contractions.
There are three key moving averages in the strategy - LONG MA, SHORT MA, BASIC MA. Long and Short MAs are guides to eyes on the chart and also act as possible trend filters (adjustable in settings). Basic MA acts as guide to eye and a possible trade trigger (adjustable in settings).
There are a few trend filters the strategy can use - moving average, signed standard deviation, ultimate RSI or none. The filters act as an additional condition on triggers, making the strategy take trades only if both triggers and trend filter allows. That way one can filter out trades with unfavorable risk/reward (for instance, don't long if price is under the MA200). Different trade filters can be used for long and short trades.
The strategy employs various stop loss types, the default of which is a trailing %-based stop loss type. ATR-based stop loss is also available. The default 1.5% trailing stop loss is suitable for leveraged trading.
Lastly, the strategy can trigger take profit orders if certain conditions are met, adjustable in settings. Also, it can hold onto winning trades and exit only after stop out (in which case, consecutive triggers to take other positions will be ignored until stop out).
Let me know if you like it and if you use it, what kind of tweaks would you like to see.
With kind regards,

NUPL Z-ScoreThis indicator is derived from Market Value and Realized Value, which can be defined as:
Market Value: The current price of Bitcoin multiplied by the number of coins in circulation. This is like market cap in traditional markets i.e. share price multiplied by number of shares.
Realized Value: Rather than taking the current price of Bitcoin, Realized Value takes the price of each Bitcoin when it was last moved i.e. the last time it was sent from one wallet to another wallet. It then adds up all those individual prices and takes an average of them. It then multiplies that average price by the total number of coins in circulation.
By subtracting Realized Value from Market Value we calculate Unrealized Profit/Loss.
Unrealized Profit/Loss estimates the total paper profits/losses in Bitcoin held by investors. This is interesting to know but of greater value is identifying how this changes relatively over time.
To do this we can divide Unrealized Profit/Loss by Market Cap. This creates Net Unrealized Profit/Loss, sometimes referred to as NUPL, which is very useful to track investor sentiment over time for Bitcoin.
Relative Unrealised Profit/Loss is another name used for this analysis.
CVDD Z-ScoreCVDD stands for Cumulative Value Coin Days Destroyed.
Coin Days Destroyed is a term used for bitcoin to identify a value of sorts to UTXO’s (unspent transaction outputs). You can learn more about UTXO’s here. They can be thought of as coins moving between wallets.
int this script you have the option to change the Z-Score length.

Average RSI (Daily + Weekly)📈 Average RSI (Relative Strength Index) – Beginner’s Guide
What it is:
The Average RSI is a technical indicator that combines multiple RSI values—such as daily and weekly RSI—into a single, smoothed line. This helps traders get a clearer picture of a stock’s momentum over both short- and medium-term timeframes.
Why it matters:
The RSI tells you whether a stock is potentially overbought (priced too high and due for a pullback) or oversold (priced too low and due for a bounce). Traditional RSI uses a scale from 0 to 100, with key levels at 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold).
By averaging RSI across different timeframes, you reduce noise and get a better signal for trends and reversals.
How traders use it:
✅ Buy zone: When the average RSI dips below 40, it could signal a good entry point.
⚠️ Neutral zone: Between 40 and 60 means the trend isn’t strong—wait for more confirmation.
🚫 Sell zone: Above 60–70 may indicate the asset is overbought or due for a pullback.
Helpful for:
Spotting better entry/exit points
Filtering out false signals
Staying in trend-following trades longer
My scriptImplied Volatility vs Historical Volatility
**Uncheck Plot box**
IV > HV = Overvalued
IV = HV = Fair Value
IV > HV = Undervalued
1. Pair with IV Rank: Use IV vs HV to confirm the setup, but IV Rank (50+, 70+) tells you how “high” IV is relative to its own history.
2. Timeframe: Use daily charts — IV is not meaningful on intraday timeframes.
3. Avoid noise: Use a smoothed HV (e.g., 20-day) and don’t chase small crossovers — look for clear divergence.
RSI SwingRadar🧠 Strategy Overview
This long-only strategy combines RSI/MA crossovers with ATR-based risk management, designed for cleaner entries during potential bounce phases — especially tuned for assets like XMR/USDT.
🔍 Core Logic:
- RSI Crossover: Entry occurs when the 14-period RSI crosses above its 14-period SMA, signaling a potential shift in momentum.
- Oversold Filter: The RSI must have been below a user-defined oversold threshold (default: 35) on the previous candle, filtering for bounce setups after a pullback.
- ATR-Based Stop/Target: Stop-loss is placed below the low by a user-adjustable ATR multiplier (default: 0.5×). Take-profit is calculated with a Risk:Reward multiplier (default: 4×).
These elements work in tandem — RSI crossovers give momentum confirmation, oversold filtering adds context, and ATR-based exits adapt to volatility, creating a compact yet responsive strategy.
📉 Visuals:
- Dynamic Bands: The chart displays the active stop-loss, entry price, and take-profit as colored bands for easy visual tracking.
- Clean Overlay: Designed with simplicity — only confirmed setups are shown, keeping noise low.
✅ Suggested Use:
- Works best on XMR/USDT or similarly trending assets.
- Best suited for pullback entries during broader uptrends.
- Adjustable for different volatility conditions and asset behaviors.

Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram📝 Description :
🌀 Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram — A Custom Momentum and Volatility Fusion Tool
The Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram is a unique technical analysis tool designed to visualize sudden changes in price momentum in the form of a dynamic, color-coded histogram. This indicator helps traders identify trend accelerations, early momentum shifts, and potential exhaustion in real time.
By combining a MACD-like momentum engine with a volatility-sensitive Bollinger Band range, this script offers an enhanced view of market bursts — moments where momentum "pops" beyond typical ranges. The result is a refined perspective on market sentiment, helping traders to anticipate reversals, follow breakouts, and assess the relative strength of ongoing trends.
🧠 Core Methodology
The indicator calculates the difference between a fast and slow EMA (Exponential Moving Average), similar to a MACD histogram.
This difference is then compared across candles to gauge the rate of change in momentum — referred to here as a “momentum burst.”
A sensitivity multiplier allows you to scale the response based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
A volatility band, derived from Bollinger Band logic, is used to frame the relative intensity of the momentum change.
The histogram is divided into two parts:
Green/Lime Bars represent increasing and decreasing bullish momentum.
Red/Orange Bars represent increasing and decreasing bearish momentum.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
Momentum Sensitivity: Adjust the responsiveness of the burst detection mechanism.
Short EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the fast EMA.
Long EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the slow EMA.
Volatility Band Length: Controls the length used for Bollinger Band calculations.
Band Std Dev Multiplier: Adjusts how wide the volatility range should be, based on price dispersion.
📈 How to Use It
Use the green/red histogram bars to visually gauge momentum strength and direction.
Watch for transitions in color intensity (e.g., green to lime, red to orange) as early warning signs of trend exhaustion or reversal.
Combine with other indicators like RSI, MACD, ADX, or volume profiles to confirm entry/exit points.
Useful in both trending and ranging markets, especially on lower timeframes for scalping or intraday setups.
✅ Key Features
Easy-to-read histogram with intuitive color coding.
Fully customizable settings for fine-tuned signal control.
Can be used on any asset class — stocks, forex, crypto, commodities.
Optimized for real-time use with minimal lag.

Custom Paul MACD-likePaul MACD is an indicator created by David Paul. It is implemented to effectively represent trend periods and non-trend (sideways/consolidation) periods, and its calculation method is particularly designed to reduce whipsaw.
Unlike the existing MACD which uses the difference between short-term (12) and long-term (26) exponential moving averages (EMA), Paul MACD has a different calculation method. This indicator uses a "center value" or "intermediate value". Calculation occurs when this intermediate value is higher than the High value (specifically, the difference between the center and High is calculated) or lower than the Low value (specifically, the difference between the center and Low is calculated). Otherwise, the value becomes 0. Here, the High and Low values are intended to be smoothly reflected using Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA). The indicator's method itself (using SMMA and ZLMA) is aimed at diluting whipsaws.
Thanks to this calculation method, in sections where whipsaw occurs, meaning when the intermediate value is between High and Low, the indicator value is expressed as 0 and appears as a horizontal line (zero line). This serves to visually clearly show sideways/consolidation periods.
Malama's 3 AmigosThe "Malama's 3 Amigos" is an original script that combines several well-known technical indicators, including MACD, RSI, and wave trend analysis, to create a robust trading signal generator. The integration of these components allows for a more nuanced understanding of market dynamics:
MACD and RSI: These indicators provide insights into momentum and trend direction, helping to identify potential reversals or continuations.
Wave Trend Analysis: This component adds a layer of volatility assessment, allowing traders to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
Volume Filtering: By incorporating volume analysis, the script ensures that signals are validated by market participation, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
This script stands out from public open-source alternatives by offering a unique combination of trend meters and wave trend analysis, tailored for traders seeking a comprehensive dashboard for market analysis.
Detailed Methodology ("How It Works")
Core Logic
Wave Trend Calculation: The script employs a wave trend calculation that utilizes exponential moving averages (EMAs) to assess price momentum. The wave trend indicator generates two lines, which are used to identify potential bullish and bearish conditions based on crossovers and overbought/oversold levels.
Trend Meter Signals: The script features three customizable trend meters that can be set to various configurations (e.g., MACD crossovers, RSI conditions). Each trend meter evaluates market conditions and provides a bullish or bearish signal based on the selected method.
Signal Generation:
Long Entry Signal: A long signal is generated when all three trend meters indicate bullish conditions, the wave trend shows a bullish crossover, the RSI delta is above a specified threshold, and the price is above a defined moving average.
Short Entry Signal: Conversely, a short signal is triggered when all trend meters indicate bearish conditions, the wave trend shows a bearish crossover, the RSI delta is below a specified threshold, and the price is below a defined moving average.
Signal Strength Calculation: The script calculates the strength of the generated signals by summing the number of bullish or bearish conditions met. This provides traders with a clear indication of the reliability of the signal.
Backtesting and Probability Features
The script does not include built-in backtesting features; however, traders can manually backtest the signals generated by the indicator. It is recommended to consider realistic trading conditions, including commission, slippage, and risk management parameters, when evaluating the effectiveness of the signals.
Strategy Results and Risk Management
The "Malama's 3 Amigos" indicator does not inherently include backtesting capabilities, but traders are encouraged to apply the following assumptions for effective risk management:
Commission and Slippage: Traders should account for realistic trading costs when evaluating performance.
Account Sizing: It is advisable to limit risk to 5-10% of equity per trade.
Trade Frequency: A sufficient number of trades should be executed to validate the strategy's effectiveness.
Default Settings
The default settings are designed to provide a balanced approach to trading. Traders can customize parameters such as lookback periods for moving averages and volume filters to suit their trading style.
User Settings and Customization
The script includes several user-customizable inputs:
Trend Meter Selections: Traders can choose from various trend meter configurations to tailor the indicator to their preferences.
Volume Filter: Users can enable or disable volume filtering and set the lookback period for volume analysis.
RSI Delta Threshold: This parameter allows traders to define the sensitivity of the RSI delta condition for signal generation.
Moving Average Types and Lengths: Traders can select between Simple Moving Averages (SMA) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and adjust their lengths.
These settings influence the behavior of the indicator and the signals generated, allowing for a personalized trading experience.
Visualizations and Chart Setup
The "Malama's 3 Amigos" indicator plots several key elements on the chart:
Wave Trend Lines: Two wave trend lines are displayed, with color coding to indicate bullish (green) and bearish (red) conditions.
Signal Markers: Buy (green triangle) and sell (red triangle) signals are plotted on the chart to indicate potential entry points.
Info Panel: An information panel can be displayed on the chart, providing real-time updates on the status of trend meters, wave trend conditions, and entry signals.
The visual elements are designed to be clear and concise, ensuring that traders can quickly interpret the information presented.
RSI.TrendContext
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most widely used classical indicators in technical analysis, typically employed to identify overbought or oversold market conditions. It reflects the degree of upside or downside dominance within a specified period. However, in its standard form, RSI is not particularly effective as a standalone entry trigger.
The RSI.Trend indicator enhances the RSI to provide a more reliable method for distinguishing between bullish and bearish market regimes and offers specific entry triggers. It adds supplementary value to the pure RSI read.________________________________________
Concept
In trending markets, an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price is often smoother and more stable than raw price data. As a result, the RSI calculated on this smoothed price (i.e., the EMA) tends to react earlier and more consistently than the standard RSI. Specifically:
• In uptrends, the RSI of the EMA tends to exceed the RSI of the original price.
• In downtrends, it tends to lag behind.
The difference between these two RSI readings provides a stable and less noisy measure of market bias—positive in uptrends, negative in downtrends. The crossing points can serve as entry triggers. This is, what the RSI.Trend is trying to capture.
________________________________________
The RSI.Trend indicator operates as follows:
• It first computes the 5-period EMA of the price series of the underlying ("EMA5").
• It calculates the 14-period RSI of the original price series ("RSI") as well as the 14-period RSI of EMA5 ("RSIEMA").
• It then determines the 14-period EMA of RSI ("RSI.MA") and RSIEMA ("RSIEMA.MA").
These values are used to define a Baseline and a Trigger Line:
• Baseline: The average of RSI and RSI.MA.
• Trigger Line: The average of RSIEMA and RSIEMA.MA.
Essentially, the baseline represents a smoother version of the RSI of the original price series, while the trigger line is a smoother version of the RSI on the EMA5 of the original price series.
Additionally, the RSI.Trend Background Value is calculated as the difference between the Trigger Line and the Baseline, slightly accelerated by incorporating the current bias of this difference. This acceleration causes the Background Value to react somewhat faster than the pure difference between the two lines.
How to use the RSI.Trend:
• As mentioned in the introductory context, during uptrends, the trigger line remains above the baseline; in downtrends, it stays below the baseline.
• A crossover of the baseline by the trigger line indicates a regime shift from bearish to bullish and can signal avoiding adding short positions, closing short positions, or adding long positions.
• A crossunder of the baseline by the trigger line indicates a regime shift from bullish to bearish and can signal avoiding adding long positions, closing long positions, or adding short positions.
• The level of the Trigger Line can serve as a confidence indicator; for instance, if the trigger line crosses under the baseline coming from very high values, it implies high confidence.
• The Background Value indicates the accelerated difference between the two lines:
o > 0 (Green background): Indicates a Bullish regime.
o < 0 (Red background): Indicates a Bearish regime.
The Background Value reacts slightly faster than line crossings due to its acceleration relative to the difference of the two lines.
Including these lines in the script besides the Background Value, provides insight into their levels and their origins, aiding in formulating confidence in an entry trigger, which the background value alone cannot provide. The change in slope of the trigger Line can also be used as an early and fast position-trigger.
Finally, the Background Value can be utilized in continuous trading scenarios (i.e., no entry points, always engaged) as a multiplier on a predefined max-exposure value, representing the current exposure as a fraction of that max-exposure.
The usage of RSI.Trend is also exemplified in the introductory chart.________________________________________
Final Notes
As with all indicators, the RSI.Trend is most effective when used in conjunction with other technical tools and market context. It does not predict future price movements; rather, it reflects current market dynamics and recent directional tendencies. Use it with discretion and as part of a broader trading strategy.
