XAU-USD - OANDA - Updated Jan 2025 - by PB ver 5Script Title: XAU-USD - OANDA - Updated Jan 2025 - by PB ver 5
Description:
This strategy is designed for trading XAU/USD (Gold) on the OANDA platform, optimized with a session-based filter and Renko bar indicators for enhanced price action analysis. The script utilizes trailing stop loss functionality to manage risk effectively and allows flexibility for both long and short trades.
Key Features:
Date Filter: This strategy includes a time filter to backtest the performance from January 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2025. Users can enable or disable the filter based on their preference.
Session Filter: Customizable session inputs allow the user to define the active trading session using a time range (default is 09:20-15:16) and the days of the week (default is all days, 1-7). The strategy will only enter trades during the active session, ensuring more controlled and focused trading.
Renko Bar Strategy: This strategy uses Renko charts, a popular price action tool, to detect buy and sell signals based on the crossover of Renko close and open prices. Users can adjust the Renko block size and the Renko value used for detecting price action shifts.
Trailing Stops: The script applies a trailing stop loss mechanism for both long and short trades. The trailing stop is dynamically updated to follow the market as prices move in favor of the trade. It uses a 5000-point trailing stop (adjustable by the user).
Flexible Trade Settings: Users can enable or disable long and short positions through simple toggle switches. The strategy allows for full control over trade entry and exit.
How It Works:
Long Trades: A long position is entered when the Renko close crosses above the Renko open. The position will be exited using a trailing stop, which follows the price in the market.
Short Trades: A short position is entered when the Renko close crosses below the Renko open. The position will also exit using a trailing stop.
The strategy will automatically close positions if the session ends or if the user manually exits the trades.
Customization Options:
Backtest Date Range: Set the start and end dates to backtest the strategy over a specific time period.
Session and Days: Adjust the session time and which days of the week the strategy is active.
Renko Block Size: Customize the Renko block size for finer control over price action signals.
Trailing Stop Distance: Adjust the trailing stop loss to your preferred risk levels.
Limitations and Considerations:
Renko Charting: Renko charts may not suit every trading style, as they are based on price movement rather than time. This strategy is designed for traders who prefer this style of charting.
Backtest Results: Always review the strategy's backtest results with realistic parameters. The strategy uses historical data, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Be aware of slippage and commission costs in real-world trading scenarios.
Manual Intervention: Users should monitor active trades and intervene manually if required.
Ideal Usage:
This strategy is suited for traders looking to use price action-based strategies with Renko charts for XAU/USD on the OANDA platform.
Ideal for those who want to automate their entry and exit points with trailing stop mechanisms while having control over the session time and backtesting period.
Disclaimer:
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use caution when using trading strategies and adjust parameters based on market conditions. The strategy is provided for educational purposes and should be tested on paper before live trading.
Indikatoren und Strategien
Statistical Arbitrage Pairs Trading - Long-Side OnlyThis strategy implements a simplified statistical arbitrage (" stat arb ") approach focused on mean reversion between two correlated instruments. It identifies opportunities where the spread between their normalized price series (Z-scores) deviates significantly from historical norms, then executes long-only trades anticipating reversion to the mean.
Key Mechanics:
1. Spread Calculation: The strategy computes Z-scores for both instruments to normalize price movements, then tracks the spread between these Z-scores.
2. Modified Z-Score: Uses a robust measure combining the median and Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) to reduce outlier sensitivity.
3. Entry Signal: A long position is triggered when the spread’s modified Z-score falls below a user-defined threshold (e.g., -1.0), indicating extreme undervaluation of the main instrument relative to its pair.
4. Exit Signal: The position closes automatically when the spread reverts to its historical mean (Z-score ≥ 0).
Risk management:
Trades are sized as a percentage of equity (default: 10%).
Includes commissions and slippage for realistic backtesting.
3-Bar Low Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "3-Bar Low Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price drops below the lowest low of the previous three bars. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE 3-BAR LOW?
The 3-Bar Low is the lowest price observed over the last three bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential oversold conditions and reversal points.
█ WHAT IS THE 7-BAR HIGH?
The 7-Bar High is the highest price observed over the last seven bars. This level is used as a reference to identify potential overbought conditions and exit points.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price is below the lowest low of the previous three bars (`close < _lowest `).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
MA Period: The lookback period for the 200-period EMA used in the EMA Filter. Default is 200.
Use EMA Filter: Enables or disables the EMA Filter for long entries. Default is disabled.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for mean-reverting markets and performs best when the price frequently oscillates around key support and resistance levels.
It is sensitive to oversold conditions, as indicated by the 3-Bar Low, and overbought conditions, as indicated by the 7-Bar High.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the MA Period and EMA Filter settings for specific instruments.

FRAMA-LRO📌 FRAMA × LRO Auto-Trading Strategy - Adaptive Trend & Momentum System
Overview
This Pine Script provides an automated trading strategy that combines FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average) and LRO (Linear Regression Oscillator) to enhance trend detection and momentum analysis. Unlike traditional moving averages, FRAMA dynamically adjusts to price volatility, while LRO effectively measures momentum for high-precision entries.
📌 Key Features
1. Dynamic Trend & Momentum Synergy
FRAMA: Detects price trends by adjusting to market conditions using fractal dimensions.
LRO: Filters trades based on linear regression slope momentum.
Breakout Confirmation: Entry is validated when price breaks FRAMA bands with LRO support.
2. Realistic Backtesting Settings
Initial Capital: $5,000 (more in line with retail traders).
Risk Management: 5% equity per trade.
Slippage & Commission: Adjusted to realistic values (1 pip slippage, 94 pips spread per trade).
Backtest Data: Covers at least 100 trades for statistical significance.
3. Clear Trade Logic
Long Entry: Price breaks above FRAMA upper band & LRO > 0.
Short Entry: Price breaks below FRAMA lower band & LRO < 0.
Stop-Loss: Dynamic ATR-based calculation.
Take-Profit: Fixed risk-reward ratio (1:2).
📌 How It Works
The system identifies trend strength with FRAMA, then confirms momentum shifts with LRO before executing trades. This ensures higher accuracy and filters false breakouts.
📌 Visual Aids for Clarity
Color-Coded Candles:
🟢 Uptrend (LRO > 0)
🔵 Downtrend (LRO < 0)
⚪ Neutral (LRO ≈ 0)
Chart Annotations: Clearly marked trade signals for easy reference.
📌 Risk Management & Automation
Fully automated execution of entries, stop-loss, and take-profit.
ATR-based volatility adaptation for dynamic SL adjustments.
Customizable parameters (period, volatility settings, risk percentage).
📌 Originality & Enhancements
This script is not just a combination of FRAMA & LRO, but an optimized system designed to:
Improve signal accuracy using adaptive trend detection.
Eliminate noise with LRO-based momentum filtering.
Implement dynamic risk management via ATR-based SL.
Influences & Acknowledgments
This strategy builds on methodologies inspired by ChartPrime and BigBeluga, refining their concepts for a systematic approach.

SMA + RSI + Volume + ATR StrategySMA + RSI + Volume + ATR Strategy
1. Indicators Used:
SMA (Simple Moving Average): This is a trend-following indicator that calculates the average price of a security over a specified period (50 periods in this case). It's used to identify the overall trend of the market.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): This measures the speed and change of price movements. It tells us if the market is overbought (too high) or oversold (too low). Overbought is above 70 and oversold is below 30.
Volume: This is the amount of trading activity. A higher volume often indicates strong interest in a particular price move.
ATR (Average True Range): This measures volatility, or how much the price is moving in a given period. It helps us adjust stop losses and take profits based on market volatility.
2. Conditions for Entering Trades:
Buy Signal (Green Up Arrow):
Price is above the 50-period SMA (indicating an uptrend).
RSI is below 30 (indicating the market might be oversold or undervalued, signaling a potential reversal).
Current volume is higher than average volume (indicating strong interest in the move).
ATR is increasing (indicating higher volatility, suggesting that the market might be ready for a move).
Sell Signal (Red Down Arrow):
Price is below the 50-period SMA (indicating a downtrend).
RSI is above 70 (indicating the market might be overbought or overvalued, signaling a potential reversal).
Current volume is higher than average volume (indicating strong interest in the move).
ATR is increasing (indicating higher volatility, suggesting that the market might be ready for a move).
3. Take Profit & Stop Loss:
Take Profit: When a trade is made, the strategy will set a target price at a certain percentage above or below the entry price (1.5% in this case) to automatically exit the trade once that target is hit.
Stop Loss: If the price goes against the position, a stop loss is set at a percentage below or above the entry price (0.5% in this case) to limit losses.
4. Execution of Trades:
When the buy condition is met, the strategy will enter a long position (buying).
When the sell condition is met, the strategy will enter a short position (selling).
5. Visual Representation:
Green Up Arrow: Appears on the chart when the buy condition is met.
Red Down Arrow: Appears on the chart when the sell condition is met.
These arrows help you see at a glance when the strategy suggests you should buy or sell.
In Summary:
This strategy uses a combination of trend-following (SMA), momentum (RSI), volume, and volatility (ATR) to decide when to buy or sell a stock. It looks for opportunities when the market is either oversold (buy signal) or overbought (sell signal) and makes sure there’s enough volume and volatility to back up the move. It also includes take-profit and stop-loss levels to manage risk.
Multi-Timeframe RSI Grid Strategy with ArrowsKey Features of the Strategy
Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis:
The strategy calculates RSI values for three different timeframes:
The current chart's timeframe.
Two higher timeframes (configurable via higher_tf1 and higher_tf2 inputs).
It uses these RSI values to identify overbought (sell) and oversold (buy) conditions.
Grid Trading System:
The strategy uses a grid-based approach to scale into trades. It adds positions at predefined intervals (grid_space) based on the ATR (Average True Range) and a grid multiplication factor (grid_factor).
The grid system allows for pyramiding (adding to positions) up to a maximum number of grid levels (max_grid).
Daily Profit Target:
The strategy has a daily profit target (daily_target). Once the target is reached, it closes all open positions and stops trading for the day.
Drawdown Protection:
If the open drawdown exceeds 2% of the account equity, the strategy closes all positions to limit losses.
Reverse Signals:
If the RSI conditions reverse (e.g., from buy to sell or vice versa), the strategy closes all open positions and resets the grid.
Visualization:
The script plots buy and sell signals as arrows on the chart.
It also plots the RSI values for the current and higher timeframes, along with overbought and oversold levels.
How It Works
Inputs:
The user can configure parameters like RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, higher timeframes, grid spacing, lot size multiplier, maximum grid levels, daily profit target, and ATR length.
RSI Calculation:
The RSI is calculated for the current timeframe and the two higher timeframes using ta.rsi().
Grid System:
The grid system uses the ATR to determine the spacing between grid levels (grid_space).
When the price moves in the desired direction, the strategy adds positions at intervals of grid_space, increasing the lot size by a multiplier (lot_multiplier) for each new grid level.
Entry Conditions:
A buy signal is generated when the RSI is below the oversold level on all three timeframes.
A sell signal is generated when the RSI is above the overbought level on all three timeframes.
Position Management:
The strategy scales into positions using the grid system.
It closes all positions if the daily profit target is reached or if a reverse signal is detected.
Visualization:
Buy and sell signals are plotted as arrows on the chart.
RSI values for all timeframes are plotted, along with overbought and oversold levels.
Example Scenario
Suppose the current RSI is below 30 (oversold), and the RSI on the 60-minute and 240-minute charts is also below 30. This triggers a buy signal.
The strategy enters a long position with a base lot size.
If the price moves against the position by grid_space, the strategy adds another long position with a larger lot size (scaled by lot_multiplier).
This process continues until the maximum grid level (max_grid) is reached or the daily profit target is achieved.
Key Variables
grid_level: Tracks the current grid level (number of positions added).
last_entry_price: Tracks the price of the last entry.
base_size: The base lot size for the initial position.
daily_profit_target: The daily profit target in percentage terms.
target_reached: A flag to indicate whether the daily profit target has been achieved.
Potential Use Cases
This strategy is suitable for traders who want to combine RSI-based signals with a grid trading approach to capitalize on mean-reverting price movements.
It can be used in trending or ranging markets, depending on the RSI settings and grid parameters.
Limitations
The grid trading system can lead to significant drawdowns if the market moves strongly against the initial position.
The strategy relies heavily on RSI, which may produce false signals in strongly trending markets.
The daily profit target may limit potential gains in highly volatile markets.
Customization
You can adjust the input parameters (e.g., RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, grid spacing, lot multiplier) to suit your trading style and market conditions.
You can also modify the drawdown protection threshold or add additional filters (e.g., volume, moving averages) to improve the strategy's performance.
In summary, this script is a sophisticated trading strategy that combines RSI-based signals with a grid trading system to manage entries, exits, and position sizing. It includes features like daily profit targets, drawdown protection, and multi-timeframe analysis to enhance its robustnes

Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.
MA Crossover with Demand/Supply Zones + Stop Loss/Take ProfitStop Loss and Take Profit Inputs:
Added stopLossPerc and takeProfitPerc as inputs to allow the user to define the stop loss and take profit levels as a percentage of the entry price.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Calculation:
For long positions, the stop loss is calculated as strategy.position_avg_price * (1 - stopLossPerc), and the take profit is calculated as strategy.position_avg_price * (1 + takeProfitPerc).
For short positions, the stop loss is calculated as strategy.position_avg_price * (1 + stopLossPerc), and the take profit is calculated as strategy.position_avg_price * (1 - takeProfitPerc).
Exit Strategy:
Added strategy.exit to define the stop loss and take profit levels for each trade. The from_entry parameter ensures that the exit is tied to the specific entry order.
Flexibility:
The stop loss and take profit levels are dynamic and adjust based on the entry price of the trade.
How It Works:
When a buy signal is generated (MA crossover near a demand zone), the strategy enters a long position and sets a stop loss and take profit level based on the input percentages.
When a sell signal is generated (MA crossunder near a supply zone), the strategy enters a short position and sets a stop loss and take profit level based on the input percentages.
The trade will exit automatically if either the stop loss or take profit level is hit.
Example:
If the entry price for a long position is $100, and the stop loss is set to 1% while the take profit is set to 2%:
Stop loss level =
100
∗
(
1
−
0.01
)
=
100∗(1−0.01)=99
Take profit level =
100
∗
(
1
+
0.02
)
=
100∗(1+0.02)=102
Notes:
You can adjust the stopLossPerc and takeProfitPerc inputs to suit your risk management preferences.
Always backtest the strategy to ensure the stop loss and take profit levels are appropriate for your trading instrument and timeframe.
New intraday high with weak barStrategy Logic:
The strategy checks if the current bar’s high is the highest high of the last 10 bar and if internal bar strength is less than 0.15.
Position is closed when close is greater than the previous bar’s high.
When a position is open, the script applies a light green background on the chart to signal that you are in a trade.
IU Range Trading StrategyIU Range Trading Strategy
The IU Range Trading Strategy is designed to identify range-bound markets and take trades based on defined price ranges. This strategy uses a combination of price ranges and ATR (Average True Range) to filter entry conditions and incorporates a trailing stop-loss mechanism for better trade management.
User Inputs:
- Range Length: Defines the number of bars to calculate the highest and lowest price range (default: 10).
- ATR Length: Sets the length of the ATR calculation (default: 14).
- ATR Stop-Loss Factor: Determines the multiplier for the ATR-based stop-loss (default: 2.00).
Entry Conditions:
1. A range is identified when the difference between the highest and lowest prices over the selected range is less than or equal to 1.75 times the ATR.
2. Once a valid range is formed:
- A long trade is triggered at the range high.
- A short trade is triggered at the range low.
Exit Conditions:
1. Trailing Stop-Loss:
- The stop-loss adjusts dynamically using ATR targets.
- The strategy locks in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. The stop-loss and take-profit levels are visually plotted for transparency and easier decision-making.

Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM)The Dynamic Ticks Oscillator Model (DTOM) is a systematic trading approach grounded in momentum and volatility analysis, designed to exploit behavioral inefficiencies in the equity markets. It focuses on the NYSE Down Ticks, a metric reflecting the cumulative number of stocks trading at a lower price than their previous trade. As a proxy for market sentiment and selling pressure, this indicator is particularly useful in identifying shifts in investor behavior during periods of heightened uncertainty or volatility (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993).
Theoretical Basis
The DTOM builds on established principles of momentum and mean reversion in financial markets. Momentum strategies, which seek to capitalize on the persistence of price trends, have been shown to deliver significant returns in various asset classes (Carhart, 1997). However, these strategies are also susceptible to periods of drawdown due to sudden reversals. By incorporating volatility as a dynamic component, DTOM adapts to changing market conditions, addressing one of the primary challenges of traditional momentum models (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Sentiment and Volatility as Core Drivers
The NYSE Down Ticks serve as a proxy for short-term negative sentiment. Sudden increases in Down Ticks often signal panic-driven selling, creating potential opportunities for mean reversion. Behavioral finance studies suggest that investor overreaction to negative news can lead to temporary mispricings, which systematic strategies can exploit (De Bondt & Thaler, 1985). By incorporating a rate-of-change (ROC) oscillator into the model, DTOM tracks the momentum of Down Ticks over a specified lookback period, identifying periods of extreme sentiment.
In addition, the strategy dynamically adjusts entry and exit thresholds based on recent volatility. Research indicates that incorporating volatility into momentum strategies can enhance risk-adjusted returns by improving adaptability to market conditions (Moskowitz, Ooi, & Pedersen, 2012). DTOM uses standard deviations of the ROC as a measure of volatility, allowing thresholds to contract during calm markets and expand during turbulent ones. This approach helps mitigate false signals and aligns with findings that volatility scaling can improve strategy robustness (Barroso & Santa-Clara, 2015).
Practical Implications
The DTOM framework is particularly well-suited for systematic traders seeking to exploit behavioral inefficiencies while maintaining adaptability to varying market environments. By leveraging sentiment metrics such as the NYSE Down Ticks and combining them with a volatility-adjusted momentum oscillator, the strategy addresses key limitations of traditional trend-following models, such as their lagging nature and susceptibility to reversals in volatile conditions.

Volatility-Adjusted Rate of Change (VARC) ModelThe Volatility-Adjusted Rate of Change (VARC) Model is a dynamic trading strategy designed to identify potential market opportunities by incorporating volatility and skewness data. The model relies on the CBOE Skew Index (CBOE:SKEW) and adjusts the traditional Rate of Change (ROC) indicator based on market volatility, offering a more refined approach to trading based on price momentum.
1. CBOE Skew Index (SKEW) and ROC Calculation
At its core, the VARC model uses the CBOE Skew Index as a measure of market sentiment. The SKEW index represents the perceived risk of extreme negative movements in the S&P 500, providing insight into the balance of risks in the market (CBOE, 2021). This sentiment-based index is often used by traders and analysts to gauge the likelihood of a market downturn.
The Rate of Change (ROC) is applied to the Skew Index, calculated over a specified lookback period (rocLength = 29). The ROC measures the percentage change in price from one period to another and is widely used to gauge the momentum of an asset (Chande & Kroll, 1994). In the VARC model, the ROC of the Skew Index is employed to assess shifts in market sentiment that may signal turning points or potential volatility.
2. Volatility Adjustment
Volatility plays a significant role in market behavior and risk management. The VARC model uses a volatility-adjusted threshold to dynamically adjust the sensitivity of the trading signals. This is achieved by calculating the standard deviation of the ROC over a defined volatility lookback period (volatilityLookback = 20) and applying a volatility multiplier (volatilityMultiplier = 1.5). These parameters define upper and lower thresholds for trade entry and exit.
The model adjusts the sensitivity of the ROC signals based on market volatility, ensuring that the strategy adapts to changing market conditions. When volatility is high, the thresholds are widened, allowing the model to filter out noise and avoid unnecessary trades. Conversely, during periods of low volatility, the thresholds tighten, enabling the model to capture smaller price movements.
3. Entry and Exit Conditions
The VARC model generates trading signals based on the behavior of the ROC relative to the dynamically adjusted volatility thresholds. A long position is initiated when the ROC crosses below the lower threshold, indicating that the market is becoming oversold or showing signs of excessive pessimism. The position is closed when the ROC exceeds the upper threshold, signaling a potential reversal or a return to normal market conditions. These entry and exit conditions are defined as follows:
• Long Condition: The ROC is below the lower threshold (roc < dynamicThresholdLow).
• Exit Condition: The ROC is above the upper threshold (roc > dynamicThresholdHigh).
This approach provides a systematic method for entering and exiting positions based on volatility-adjusted momentum, helping traders to capitalize on shifts in market sentiment.
4. Visualization and Signal Highlighting
The model includes several visual aids to help traders interpret the signals. The ROC, dynamic thresholds, and a zero line are plotted on the chart to provide a clear representation of market momentum and the current trading range. Furthermore, a background color is used to highlight periods when a position is open, visually reinforcing the model’s decisions.
5. Conclusion
The VARC model offers a robust framework for trading by combining momentum (through the ROC) with a volatility-adjusted approach that refines trade signals based on market conditions. The use of the CBOE Skew Index adds an additional layer of market sentiment analysis, providing context to the ROC values. This volatility-adaptive strategy offers traders a more nuanced way to navigate the markets, making it suitable for both short-term and longer-term trading horizons.

This model can be particularly useful in volatile markets, where traditional fixed thresholds may not perform as well. By adjusting the thresholds dynamically based on the underlying volatility, the VARC model offers a more flexible and responsive approach to market trading.
BuyTheDips Trade on Trend and Fixed TP/SL
This strategy is designed to trade in the direction of the trend using exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers as signals while employing fixed percentages for take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) to manage risk and reward. It is suitable for both scalping and swing trading on any timeframe, with its default settings optimized for short-term price movements.
How It Works
EMA Crossovers:
The strategy uses two EMAs: a fast EMA (shorter period) and a slow EMA (longer period).
A buy signal is triggered when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, indicating a potential bullish trend.
A sell signal is triggered when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, signaling a bearish trend.
Trend Filtering:
To improve signal reliability, the strategy only takes trades in the direction of the overall trend:
Long trades are executed only when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA (bullish trend).
Short trades are executed only when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA (bearish trend).
This filtering ensures trades are aligned with the prevailing market direction, reducing false signals.
Risk Management (Fixed TP/SL):
The strategy uses fixed percentages for take profit and stop loss:
Take Profit: A percentage above the entry price for long trades (or below for short trades).
Stop Loss: A percentage below the entry price for long trades (or above for short trades).
These percentages can be customized to balance risk and reward according to your trading style.
For example:
If the take profit is set to 2% and the stop loss to 1%, the strategy operates with a 2:1 risk-reward ratio. BINANCE:BTCUSDT
Bearish Wick Reversal█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Bearish Wick Reversal Strategy" identifies potential bullish reversals following significant bearish price rejection (long lower wicks). This counter-trend approach enters long positions when bearish candles show exaggerated downside wicks relative to closing prices, then exits on bullish confirmation signals. Includes optional EMA trend filtering for improved reliability.
█ What is a Bearish Wick?
A price rejection pattern where:
Bearish candle (close < open) forms with extended lower wick
Wick represents failed selloff: Low drops significantly below close
Measured as: (Low - Close)/Close × 100 (Negative percentage indicates downward extension)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Bearish candle forms with close < open
Lower wick exceeds user-defined threshold (Default: -1% of close price)
The signal occurs within the specified time window
If enabled, the close price must also be above the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: Volatile instruments with frequent price rejections
Key Risk: False signals in sustained bearish trends
Optimization Tip: Test various thresholds
Filter Impact: EMA reduces trades but improves win rate and reduces drawdown
Gap Down Reversal Strategy█ STRATEGY OVERVIEW
The "Gap Down Reversal Strategy" capitalizes on price recovery patterns following bearish gap-down openings. This mean-reversion approach enters long positions on confirmed intraday recoveries and exits when prices breach previous session highs. This strategy is NOT optimized.
█ What is a Gap Down Reversal?
A gap down reversal occurs when:
An instrument opens significantly below its prior session's low (price gap)
Selling pressure exhausts itself during the session
Buyers regain control, pushing price back above the opening level
Creates a candlestick with:
• Open < Prior Session Low (true gap)
• Close > Open (bullish reversal candle)
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY CONDITION
Previous candle closes BELOW its opening price (bearish candle)
Current session opens BELOW prior candle's low (gap down)
Current candle closes ABOVE its opening price (bullish reversal)
Executes market order at session close
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the highest high of the previous seven bars (`close > _highest `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Ideal Market: High volatility instruments with frequent gaps
Key Risk: False reversals in sustained downtrends
Optimization Tip: Test varying gap thresholds (1-3% ranges)

Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Internal Bar Strength (IBS) Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify trading opportunities based on the closing price's position within the daily price range. It enters a long position when the IBS indicates oversold conditions and exits when the IBS reaches overbought levels. This strategy was designed to be used on the daily timeframe.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- **Low IBS (≤ 0.2)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- **High IBS (≥ 0.8)**: Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value drops below the Lower Threshold (default: 0.2).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the IBS value rises to or above the Upper Threshold (default: 0.8). This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Upper Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy exits trades. Default is 0.8.
Lower Threshold: The IBS level at which the strategy enters long positions. Default is 0.2.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for ranging markets and performs best when prices frequently revert to the mean.
It is sensitive to extreme IBS values, which help identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Upper/Lower Thresholds for specific instruments and market conditions.
Futures Engulfing Candle Size Strategy (Ticks, TP/SL)The Futures Candle Size Strategy is designed to identify and trade significant price movements in the futures market based on candle size. It is optimized for futures instruments like ES, NQ, or CL, where precise tick-level calculations are essential. The strategy includes a customizable take profit and stop loss in ticks and operates only within a specified time window (e.g., 7:00 AM to 9:15 AM CST).
Key Features:
Candle Size Threshold: Trades are triggered when the candle's high-to-low range exceeds the defined threshold in ticks.
Time Filter: Limits trades to the most active market hours, specifically between 7:00 AM and 9:15 AM CST.
