Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy [LuxAlgo X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Rally Base Drop (RBD) SND Pivots indicator developed by LuxAlgo. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to LuxAlgo.
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand trading system that detects pivot points based on Rally, Base, and Drop (RBD) candles. This strategy automatically identifies key market structure levels, allowing traders to:
Identify pivot-based supply and demand (SND) zones.
Use fixed criteria for trend continuation or reversals.
Filter out market noise by requiring structured price formations.
Enter trades based on breakouts of key SND pivot levels.
How the Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy Works
1. Pivot Point Detection Using RBD Candles
The strategy follows a rigid market structure methodology, where pivots are detected only when:
A Rally (R) consists of multiple consecutive bullish candles.
A Drop (D) consists of multiple consecutive bearish candles.
A Base (B) is identified as a transition between Rallies and Drops, acting as a pivot point.
The pivot level is confirmed when the formation is complete.
Unlike traditional fractal-based pivots, RBD Pivots enforce stricter structural rules, ensuring that each pivot:
Has a well-defined bullish or bearish price movement.
Reduces false signals caused by single-bar fluctuations.
Provides clear supply and demand levels based on structured price movements.
These pivot levels are drawn on the chart using color-coded boxes:
Green zones represent bullish pivot levels (Rally Base formations).
Red zones represent bearish pivot levels (Drop Base formations).
Once a pivot is confirmed, the high or low of the base candle is used as the reference level for future trades.
2. Trade Entry Conditions
The strategy allows traders to select from three trading modes:
Long Only – Only takes long trades when bullish pivot breakouts occur.
Short Only – Only takes short trades when bearish pivot breakouts occur.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions based on pivot breakouts.
Trade entry signals are triggered when price breaks through a confirmed pivot level:
Long Entry:
A bullish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks above the bullish pivot level.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish pivot level is formed.
Price breaks below the bearish pivot level.
The strategy enters a short position.
The strategy includes an optional mode to reverse long and short conditions, allowing traders to experiment with contrarian entries.
3. Exit Conditions Using ATR-Based Risk Management
This strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels:
Stop-Loss (SL): Placed 1 ATR below entry for long trades and 1 ATR above entry for short trades.
Take-Profit (TP): Set using a Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) multiplier (default = 6x ATR).
When a trade is opened:
The entry price is recorded.
ATR is calculated at the time of entry to determine stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Trades exit automatically when either SL or TP is reached.
If reverse conditions mode is enabled, stop-loss and take-profit placements are flipped.
Visualization & Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
1. Pivot Boxes for Market Structure
Each pivot is marked with a colored box:
Green boxes indicate bullish demand zones.
Red boxes indicate bearish supply zones.
These boxes remain on the chart to act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify key price reaction zones.
2. Horizontal Entry, Stop-Loss, and Take-Profit Lines
When a trade is active, the strategy plots:
White line → Entry price.
Red line → Stop-loss level.
Green line → Take-profit level.
Labels display the exact entry, SL, and TP values, updating dynamically as price moves.
Customization Options
This strategy offers multiple adjustable settings to optimize performance for different market conditions:
Trade Mode Selection → Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Pivot Length → Defines the number of required Rally & Drop candles for a pivot.
ATR Exit Multiplier → Adjusts stop-loss distance based on ATR.
Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) → Modifies take-profit level relative to risk.
Historical Lookback → Limits how far back pivot zones are displayed.
Color Settings → Customize pivot box colors for bullish and bearish setups.
Considerations & Limitations
Pivot Breakouts Do Not Guarantee Reversals. Some pivot breaks may lead to continuation moves instead of trend reversals.
Not Optimized for Low Volatility Conditions. This strategy works best in trending markets with strong momentum.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss & Take-Profit May Require Optimization. Different assets may require different ATR multipliers and RR settings.
Market Noise May Still Influence Pivots. While this method filters some noise, fake breakouts can still occur.
Conclusion
The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots Strategy is a non-repainting supply and demand system that combines:
Pivot-based market structure analysis (using Rally, Base, and Drop candles).
Breakout-based trade entries at confirmed SND levels.
ATR-based dynamic risk management for stop-loss and take-profit calculation.
This strategy helps traders:
Identify high-probability supply and demand levels.

Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy [AlgoAlpha X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Liquidity Sweep Filter developed by AlgoAlpha. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to AlgoAlpha.
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a non-repainting trading system designed to identify liquidity sweeps, trend shifts, and high-impact price levels. It incorporates volume-based liquidation analysis, trend confirmation, and dynamic support/resistance detection to optimize trade entries and exits.
This strategy helps traders:
Detect liquidity sweeps where major market participants trigger stop losses and liquidations.
Identify trend shifts using a volatility-based moving average system.
Analyze volume distribution with a built-in volume profile visualization.
Filter noise by differentiating between major and minor liquidity sweeps.
How the Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy Works
1. Trend Detection Using Volatility-Based Filtering
The strategy applies a volatility-adjusted moving average system to determine trend direction:
A central trend line is calculated using an EMA smoothed over a user-defined length.
Upper and lower deviation bands are created based on the average price deviation over multiple periods.
If price closes above the upper band, the strategy signals an uptrend.
If price closes below the lower band, the strategy signals a downtrend.
This approach ensures that trend shifts are confirmed only when price significantly moves beyond normal market fluctuations.
2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps occur when price temporarily breaks key levels, triggering stop-loss liquidations or margin call events. The strategy tracks swing highs and lows, marking potential liquidity grabs:
Bearish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent high, then reverses downward.
Bullish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent low, then reverses upward.
Volume Integration – The strategy analyzes trading volume at each sweep to differentiate between major and minor sweeps.
Key levels where liquidity sweeps occur are plotted as color-coded horizontal lines:
Red lines indicate bearish liquidity sweeps.
Green lines indicate bullish liquidity sweeps.
Labels are displayed at each sweep, showing the volume of liquidated positions at that level.
3. Volume Profile Analysis
The strategy includes an optional volume profile visualization, displaying how trading volume is distributed across different price levels.
Features of the volume profile:
Point of Control (POC) – The price level with the highest traded volume is marked as a key area of interest.
Bounding Box – The profile is enclosed within a transparent box, helping traders visualize the price range of high trading activity.
Customizable Resolution & Scale – Traders can adjust the granularity of the profile to match their preferred time frame.
The volume profile helps identify zones of strong support and resistance, making it easier to anticipate price reactions at key levels.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows traders to configure trade direction:
Long Only – Only takes long trades.
Short Only – Only takes short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.

Market Trend Levels Non-Repainting [BigBeluga X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Market Trend Levels Detector developed by BigBeluga. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to BigBeluga.
The Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy is a non-repainting trend-following strategy that identifies market trend shifts using two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). It also detects key price levels and allows traders to apply multiple filters to refine trade entries and exits.
This strategy is designed for trend trading and enables traders to:
Identify trend direction based on EMA crossovers.
Detect significant market levels using labeled trend lines.
Use multiple filter conditions to improve trade accuracy.
Avoid false signals through non-repainting calculations.
How the Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy Works
1. Core Trend Detection Using EMA Crossovers
The strategy detects trend shifts using two EMAs:
Fast EMA (default: 12 periods) – Reacts quickly to price movements.
Slow EMA (default: 25 periods) – Provides a smoother trend confirmation.
A bullish crossover (Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA) signals an uptrend , while a bearish crossover (Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA) signals a downtrend .
2. Market Level Detection & Visualization
Each time an EMA crossover occurs, a trend level line is drawn:
Bullish crossover → A green line is drawn at the low of the crossover candle.
Bearish crossover → A purple line is drawn at the high of the crossover candle.
Lines can be extended to act as support and resistance zones for future price action.
Additionally, a small label (●) appears at each crossover to mark the event on the chart.
3. Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows users to choose between three trading modes:
Long Only – Only enters long trades.
Short Only – Only enters short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
A bullish EMA crossover occurs.
The trade direction setting allows long trades.
Filter conditions (if enabled) confirm a valid long signal.
Short Entry:
A bearish EMA crossover occurs.
The trade direction setting allows short trades.
Filter conditions (if enabled) confirm a valid short signal.
Exit Conditions
Long Exit:
A bearish EMA crossover occurs.
Exit filters (if enabled) indicate an invalid long position.
Short Exit:
A bullish EMA crossover occurs.
Exit filters (if enabled) indicate an invalid short position.
Additional Trade Filters
To improve trade accuracy, the strategy allows traders to apply up to 7 additional filters:
RSI Filter: Only trades when RSI confirms a valid trend.
MACD Filter: Ensures MACD histogram supports the trade direction.
Stochastic Filter: Requires %K line to be above/below threshold values.
Bollinger Bands Filter: Confirms price position relative to the middle BB line.
ADX Filter: Ensures the trend strength is above a set threshold.
CCI Filter: Requires CCI to indicate momentum in the right direction.
Williams %R Filter: Ensures price momentum supports the trade.
Filters can be enabled or disabled individually based on trader preference.
Dynamic Level Extension Feature
The strategy provides an optional feature to extend trend lines until price interacts with them again:
Bullish support lines extend until price revisits them.
Bearish resistance lines extend until price revisits them.
If price breaks a line, the line turns into a dotted style , indicating it has been breached.
This helps traders identify key levels where trend shifts previously occurred, providing useful support and resistance insights.
Customization Options
The strategy includes several adjustable settings :
Trade Direction: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Trend Lengths: Adjust the Fast & Slow EMA lengths.
Market Level Extension: Decide whether to extend support/resistance lines.
Filters for Trade Confirmation: Enable/disable individual filters.
Color Settings: Customize line colors for bullish and bearish trend shifts.
Maximum Displayed Lines: Limit the number of drawn support/resistance lines.
Considerations & Limitations
Trend Lag: As with any EMA-based strategy, signals may be slightly delayed compared to price action.
Sideways Markets: This strategy works best in trending conditions; frequent crossovers in sideways markets can produce false signals.
Filter Usage: Enabling multiple filters may reduce trade frequency, but can also improve trade quality.
Line Overlap: If many crossovers occur in a short period, the chart may become cluttered with multiple trend levels. Adjusting the "Display Last" setting can help.
Conclusion
The Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy is a non-repainting trend-following system that combines EMA crossovers, market level detection, and customizable filters to improve trade accuracy.
By identifying trend shifts and key price levels, this strategy can be used for:
Trend Confirmation – Using EMA crossovers and filters to confirm trend direction.
Support & Resistance Trading – Identifying dynamic levels where price reacts.
Momentum-Based Trading – Combining EMA crossovers with additional momentum filters.
This strategy is fully customizable and can be adapted to different trading styles, timeframes, and market conditions.

Gradient Trend Filter STRATEGY [ChartPrime/PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Gradient Trend Filter indicator developed by ChartPrime. Full credit for the concept and indicator goes to ChartPrime.
The Gradient Trend Filter Strategy is designed to execute trades based on the trend analysis and filtering system provided by the Gradient Trend Filter indicator. It integrates a noise-filtered trend detection system with a color-gradient visualization, helping traders identify trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals.
How the Gradient Trend Filter Strategy Works
1. Noise Filtering for Smoother Trends
To reduce false signals caused by market noise, the strategy applies a three-stage smoothing function to the source price. This function ensures that trend shifts are detected more accurately, minimizing unnecessary trade entries and exits.
The filter is based on an Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-style smoothing technique.
It processes price data in three successive passes, refining the trend signal before generating trade entries.
This filtering technique helps eliminate minor fluctuations and highlights the true underlying trend.
2. Multi-Layered Trend Bands & Color-Based Trend Visualization
The Gradient Trend Filter constructs multiple trend bands around the filtered trend line, acting as dynamic support and resistance zones.
The mid-line changes color based on the trend direction:
Green for uptrends
Red for downtrends
A gradient cloud is formed around the trend line, dynamically shifting colors to provide early warning signals of trend reversals.
The outer bands function as potential support and resistance, helping traders determine stop-loss and take-profit zones.
Visualization elements used in this strategy:
Trend Filter Line → Changes color between green (bullish) and red (bearish).
Trend Cloud → Dynamically adjusts color based on trend strength.
Orange Markers → Appear when a trend shift is confirmed.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
This strategy automatically enters trades based on confirmed trend shifts detected by the Gradient Trend Filter.
1. Trade Entry Rules
Long Entry:
A bullish trend shift is detected (trend direction changes to green).
The filtered trend value crosses above zero, confirming upward momentum.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish trend shift is detected (trend direction changes to red).
The filtered trend value crosses below zero, confirming downward momentum.
The strategy enters a short position.
2. Trade Exit Rules
Closing a Long Position:
If a bearish trend shift occurs, the strategy closes the long position.
Closing a Short Position:
If a bullish trend shift occurs, the strategy closes the short position.
The trend shift markers (orange diamonds) act as a confirmation signal, reinforcing the validity of trade entries and exits.
Customization Options
This strategy allows traders to adjust key parameters for flexibility in different market conditions:
Trade Direction: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short .
Trend Length: Modify the length of the smoothing function to adapt to different timeframes.
Line Width & Colors: Customize the visual appearance of trend lines and cloud colors.
Performance Table: Enable or disable the equity performance table that tracks historical trade results.
Performance Tracking & Reporting
A built-in performance table is included to monitor monthly and yearly trading performance.
The table calculates monthly percentage returns, displaying them in a structured format.
Color-coded values highlight profitable months (blue) and losing months (red).
Tracks yearly cumulative performance to assess long-term strategy effectiveness.
Traders can use this feature to evaluate historical performance trends and optimize their strategy settings accordingly.
How to Use This Strategy
Identify Trend Strength & Reversals:
Use the trend line and cloud color changes to assess trend strength and detect potential reversals.
Monitor Momentum Shifts:
Pay attention to gradient cloud color shifts, as they often appear before the trend line changes color.
This can indicate early momentum weakening or strengthening.
Act on Trend Shift Markers:
Use orange diamonds as confirmation signals for trend shifts and trade entry/exit points.
Utilize Cloud Bands as Support/Resistance:
The outer bands of the cloud serve as dynamic support and resistance, helping with stop-loss and take-profit placement.
Considerations & Limitations
Trend Lag: Since the strategy applies a smoothing function, entries may be slightly delayed compared to raw price action.
Volatile Market Conditions: In high-volatility markets, trend shifts may occur more frequently, leading to higher trade frequency.
Optimized for Trend Trading: This strategy is best suited for trending markets and may produce false signals in sideways (ranging) conditions.
Conclusion
The Gradient Trend Filter Strategy is a trend-following system based on the Gradient Trend Filter indicator by ChartPrime. It integrates noise filtering, trend visualization, and gradient-based color shifts to help traders identify strong market trends and potential reversals.
By combining trend filtering with a multi-layered cloud system, the strategy provides clear trade signals while minimizing noise. Traders can use this strategy for long-term trend trading, momentum shifts, and support/resistance-based decision-making.
This strategy is a fully automated system that allows traders to execute long, short, or both directions, with customizable settings to adapt to different market conditions.

3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE [SwissAlgo]
Introduction
Are you tired of tracking cryptocurrency charts and placing orders manually on your Exchange?
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE is an automated trading system designed to identify and execute potential trading setups on multiple cryptocurrencies ( simultaneously ) on your preferred Exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, Bitget) via 3Commas integration.
It analyzes price action, volume, momentum, volatility, and trend patterns across two categories of USDT Perpetual coins: the 'Top Major Coins' category (11 established cryptocurrencies) and your Custom Category (up to 10 coins of your choice).
The indicator sends real-time trading signals directly to your 3Commas bots for automated execution, identifying both trend-following and contrarian trading opportunities in all market conditions.
Trade automatically all coins of one or more selected categories:
----------------------------------------------
What it Does
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE is a technical analysis tool that monitors multiple cryptocurrency pairs simultaneously and connects with 3Commas for signal delivery and execution.
Here's how the strategy works:
🔶 Technical Analysis : Analyzes price action, volume, momentum, volatility, and trend patterns across USDT Perpetual Futures contracts simultaneously.
🔶 Pattern Detection : Identifies specific candle patterns and technical confluences that suggest potential trading setups across USDT.P contracts of the selected category.
🔶 Signal Generation : When technical criteria are met at bar close, the indicator creates deal-start signals for the relevant pairs.
🔶 3Commas Integration : Packages these signals and delivers them to 3Commas through TradingView alerts, allowing 3Commas bots to receive specific pair information ('Deal-Start' signals).
🔶 Category Management : Each TradingView alert monitors an entire category, allowing selective activation of different crypto categories.
🔶 Visual Feedback : Provides color-coded candles and backgrounds to visualize technical conditions, with optional pivot points and trend visualization.
Candle types

----------------------------------------------
Quick Start Guide
1. Setup 3Commas Bots : Configure two DCA bots in 3Commas (All USDT pairs) - one for LONG positions and one for SHORT positions.
2. Define Trading Parameters : Set your budget for each trade and adjust your preferred sensitivity within the indicator settings.
3. Create Category Alerts : Set up one TradingView alert for each crypto category you want to trade.
That's it! Once configured, the system automatically sends signals to your 3Commas bots when predefined trading setups are detected across coins in your selected/activated categories. The indicator scans all coins at bar close (for example, every hour on the 1H timeframe) and triggers trade execution only for those showing technical confluences.
Important : Consider your total capital when enabling categories. More details about the setup process are provided below (see paragraph "Detailed Setup & Configuration").
----------------------------------------------
Built-in Backtesting
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE includes backtesting visualization for each coin. When viewing any USDT Perpetual pair on your chart, you can visualize how the strategy would have performed historically on that specific asset.
Color-coded candles and signal markers show past trading setups, helping you evaluate which coins responded best to the strategy. This built-in backtesting capability can support your selection of assets/categories to trade before deploying real capital.
As backtesting results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance, your research and analysis are essential for selecting the crypto categories/coins to trade.
The default strategy settings are: Start Capital 1,000$, leverage 10X, Commissions 0.1% (average Taker Fee on Exchanges for average users), Order Amount 200$ for Longs/Shorts, Slippage 4

Methodology
The 3Commas Multicoin Scalper LITE utilizes a multi-faceted approach to identify potential trading setups:
1. Price Action Analysis : Detects abnormal price movements by comparing the current candle's range to historical averages and standard deviations, helping identify potential "pump and dump" scenarios or new-trends start
2. Price Momentum : Evaluates the relative strength of bullish vs. bearish price movements over time, indicating the build-up of buying or selling pressure.
3. Volume Analysis: Identifies unusual volume spikes by comparing current volume to historical averages, signaling strong market interest in a particular direction.
4. Volume Momentum : Measures the ratio of bullish to bearish volume, revealing the dominance of buyers or sellers over time.
5. Trend Analysis : Combines EMA slopes, RSI, and Stochastic RSI to determine overall trend direction and strength.
6. Volatility : Monitors the ATR (Average True Range) to detect periods of increased market volatility, which may indicate potential breakouts or reversals
7. Candle Wick Analysis : Evaluates upper and lower wick percentages to detect potential rejection patterns and reversals.
8. Pivot Point Analysis : Uses pivot points (PP, R1-R3, S1-S3) for identifying key support/resistance areas and potential breakout/breakdown levels.
9. Daily Open Reference: Analyzes price action relative to the daily open for potential setups related to price movement vs. the opening price
10. Market Timing/Liquidity : Evaluates high/low liquidity periods, specific days/times of heightened risk, and potential market manipulation timeframes.
11. Boost Factors : Applies additional weight to certain confluence patterns to adjust global scores
These factors are combined into a "Global Score" ranging from -1 to +1 , applied at bar close to the newly formed candles.
Scores above predefined thresholds (configurable via the Sensitivity Settings) indicate strong bullish or bearish conditions and trigger signals based on predefined patterns. The indicator then applies additional filters to generate specific "Trend Following" and "Contrarian" trading signals. The identified signals are packaged and sent to 3Commas for execution.

FAQs
General Questions
❓ Q: What features are included in this indicator? A: This indicator provides access to the "Top Major Coins" category and a custom category option where you can define up to 10 pairs of your choice. It includes multi-exchange support, 3Commas integration, a dual strategy approach, visual indicators, trade controls, and comprehensive backtesting capabilities. The indicator is optimized to manage up to 2 trades per hour/category with leverage up to 10x and trade sizes up to 500 USDT - everything needed for traders looking to automate their crypto trading across multiple pairs simultaneously.
❓ Q: What is Global Score? A: The Global Score serves as a foundation for signal generation. When a candle's score exceeds certain thresholds (defined by your Risk Level setting), it becomes a candidate for signal generation. However, not all high-scoring candles generate trading signals - the indicator applies additional pattern recognition and contextual filters. For example, a strongly positive score (lime candle) in an established uptrend may trigger a "Trend Following" signal, while a strongly negative score (red candle) in a downtrend might generate a "Trend following Short" signal. Similarly, contrarian signals are generated when specific reversal patterns occur alongside appropriate Global Score values, often involving wick analysis and pivot point interactions. This multi-layer approach helps filter out false positives and identify higher-probability trading setups.
❓ Q: What's the difference between "Trend following" and "Contrarian" signals in the script? A: "Trend Following" signals follow the identified trends while "Contrarian" signals anticipate potential trend reversals.
❓ Q: Why don't I see any signals on my chart? A: Make sure you're viewing a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange that belongs to the crypto category you've chosen to analyze. For example, if you've selected the "Top Major Coins" category with Binance as your exchange, you need to view a chart of one of those specific pairs (like BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P) to see signals. If you switch exchanges, for example from Binance to Bybit, you need to pull a Bybit pair on the chart to see backtesting data and signals.
❓ Q: Does this indicator guarantee profits? A: No. Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. This indicator is a tool to help you identify potential trading setups, but it does not and cannot guarantee profits.
❓ Q: Does this indicator repaint or use lookahead bias? A: No. All trading signals generated by this indicator are based only on completed price data and do not repaint. The system is designed to ensure that backtesting results reflect as closely as possible what you should experience in live trading.
While reference levels like pivot points are kept stable throughout the day using lookahead on, the actual buy and sell signals are calculated using only historical data (lookahead off) that would have been available at that moment in time. This ensures reliability and consistency between backtesting and real-time trading performance.
Technical Setup
❓ Q: What exchanges are supported? A: The strategy supports BINANCE, BYBIT, BITGET, GATEIO, and OKX USDT Perpetual markets (i.e. all the Exchanges you can connect to your 3Commas account for USDT Perpetual trading, excluding Coinbase Perpetual that offers USDC pairs, instead of USDT).
❓ Q: What timeframe should I use? A: The indicator is optimized for the 1-hour (1H) timeframe but may run on any timeframe.
❓ Q: How many coins can I trade at once? A: You can trade all coins within the selected category. You can activate categories by setting up alerts.
❓ Q: How many alerts do I need to set up? A: You need to set up one alert for each crypto category you want to trade. We recommend starting with one category, testing the results carefully, monitoring performance daily, and perhaps activating additional categories in a second stage.
❓ Q: Are there any specific risk management features built into the indicator? A: Yes, the indicator includes risk management features: adjustable maximum trades per hour/category, the ability to enable/disable long or short signals depending on market conditions, customizable trade size for both long and short positions, and different sensitivity/risk level settings.
❓ Q: What happens if 3Commas can't execute a signal? A: If 3Commas cannot execute a signal (due to insufficient funds, bot offline, etc.), the trade will be skipped. The indicator will continue sending signals for other valid setups, but it doesn't retry failed signals.
❓ Q: Can I run this indicator on multiple charts at once? A: Yes, but it's not necessary. The indicator analyzes all coins in your selected categories regardless of which chart you apply it to. For optimal resource usage, apply it to a single chart of a USDT Perpetual pair from your selected exchange. To stop trading a category, simply delete the alert created for that category.
❓ Q: How frequently does the indicator scan for new signals? A: The indicator scans all coins in your selected categories at the close of each bar (every hour if you selected the 1H timeframe).

Dual SuperTrend w VIX Filter - Strategy [presentTrading]Hey everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. Been so busy again in the past 2 months. I recently started working on analyzing the combination of trend strategy and VIX, but didn't get outstanding results after a few tries. Sharing this tool with all of you in case you have better insights.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual SuperTrend with VIX Filter Strategy combines traditional trend following with market volatility analysis. Unlike conventional SuperTrend strategies that focus solely on price action, this experimental system incorporates VIX (Volatility Index) as an adaptive filter to create a more context-aware trading approach. By analyzing where current volatility stands relative to historical norms, the strategy adjusts to different market environments rather than applying uniform logic across all conditions.
BTCUSD 6hr Long Short Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Dual SuperTrend Core
The strategy uses two SuperTrend indicators with different sensitivity settings:
- SuperTrend 1: Length = 13, Multiplier = 3.5
- SuperTrend 2: Length = 8, Multiplier = 5.0
The SuperTrend calculation follows this process:
1. ATR = Average of max(High-Low, |High-PreviousClose|, |Low-PreviousClose|) over 'length' periods
2. UpperBand = (High+Low)/2 - (Multiplier * ATR)
3. LowerBand = (High+Low)/2 + (Multiplier * ATR)
Trend direction is determined by:
- If Close > previous LowerBand, Trend = Bullish (1)
- If Close < previous UpperBand, Trend = Bearish (-1)
- Otherwise, Trend = previous Trend
🔶 VIX Analysis Framework
The core innovation lies in the VIX analysis system:
1. Statistical Analysis:
- VIX Mean = SMA(VIX, 252)
- VIX Standard Deviation = StdDev(VIX, 252)
- VIX Z-Score = (Current VIX - VIX Mean) / VIX StdDev
2. **Volatility Bands:
- Upper Band 1 = VIX Mean + (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Upper Band 2 = VIX Mean + (3 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 1 = VIX Mean - (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 2 = VIX Mean - (3 * VIX StdDev)
3. Volatility Regimes:
- "Very Low Volatility": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Low Volatility": Lower Band 1 ≤ VIX < Mean
- "Normal Volatility": Mean ≤ VIX < Upper Band 1
- "High Volatility": Upper Band 1 ≤ VIX < Upper Band 2
- "Extreme Volatility": VIX ≥ Upper Band 2
4. VIX Trend Detection:
- VIX EMA = EMA(VIX, 10)
- VIX Rising = VIX > VIX EMA
- VIX Falling = VIX < VIX EMA
Local performance:
🔶 Entry Logic Integration
The strategy combines trend signals with volatility filtering:
Long Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bullish (trend = 1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Short Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bearish (trend = -1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Available VIX filter rules include:
- "Below Mean + SD": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Below Mean": VIX < VIX Mean
- "Above Mean": VIX > VIX Mean
- "Above Mean + SD": VIX > Upper Band 1
- "Falling VIX": VIX < VIX EMA
- "Rising VIX": VIX > VIX EMA
- "Any": No VIX filtering
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows testing in three modes:
1. **Long Only:** Test volatility effects on uptrends only
2. **Short Only:** Examine volatility's impact on downtrends only
3. **Both (Default):** Compare how volatility affects both trend directions
This enables comparative analysis of how volatility regimes impact bullish versus bearish markets differently.
█ Usage
Use this strategy as an experimental framework:
1. Form a hypothesis about how volatility affects trend reliability
2. Configure VIX filters to test your specific hypothesis
3. Analyze performance across different volatility regimes
4. Compare results between uptrends and downtrends
5. Refine your volatility filtering approach based on results
6. Share your findings with the trading community
This framework allows you to investigate questions like:
- Are uptrends more reliable during rising or falling volatility?
- Do downtrends perform better when volatility is above or below its historical average?
- Should different volatility filters be applied to long vs. short positions?
█ Default Settings
The default settings serve as a starting point for exploration:
SuperTrend Parameters:
- SuperTrend 1 (Length=13, Multiplier=3.5): More responsive to trend changes
- SuperTrend 2 (Length=8, Multiplier=5.0): More selective filter requiring stronger trends
VIX Analysis Settings:
- Lookback Period = 252: Establishes a full market cycle for volatility context
- Standard Deviation Bands = 2 and 3 SD: Creates statistically significant regime boundaries
- VIX Trend Period = 10: Balances responsiveness with noise reduction
Default VIX Filter Selection:
- Long Entry: "Above Mean" - Tests if uptrends perform better during above-average volatility
- Short Entry: "Rising VIX" - Tests if downtrends accelerate when volatility is increasing

Sniper Trade Pro (ES 15-Min) - Topstep Optimized🔹 Overview
Sniper Trade Pro is an advanced algorithmic trading strategy designed specifically for E-mini S&P 500 (ES) Futures on the 15-minute timeframe. This strategy is optimized for Topstep 50K evaluations, incorporating strict risk management to comply with their max $1,000 daily loss limit while maintaining a high probability of success.
It uses a multi-confirmation approach, integrating:
✅ Money Flow Divergence (MFD) → To track liquidity imbalances and institutional accumulation/distribution.
✅ Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP) → To identify strong trend direction and avoid choppy markets.
✅ ADX Strength Filter → To ensure entries only occur in trending conditions, avoiding weak setups.
✅ Break-Even & Dynamic Stop-Losses → To reduce drawdowns and protect profits dynamically.
This script automatically generates Buy and Sell signals and provides built-in risk management for automated trading execution through TradingView Webhooks.
🔹 How Does This Strategy Work?
📌 1. Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP)
The strategy uses:
✔ 9-EMA & 21-EMA: Fast-moving averages to detect short-term momentum.
✔ VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Ensures trades align with institutional volume flow.
How it works:
Bullish Condition: 9-EMA above 21-EMA AND price above VWAP → Confirms buy trend.
Bearish Condition: 9-EMA below 21-EMA AND price below VWAP → Confirms sell trend.
📌 2. Liquidity & Money Flow Divergence (MFD)
This indicator measures liquidity shifts by tracking momentum changes in price and volume.
✔ MFD Calculation:
Uses Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Momentum (MOM) to detect changes in buying/selling pressure.
If MFD is above its moving average, it signals liquidity inflows → bullish strength.
If MFD is below its moving average, it signals liquidity outflows → bearish weakness.
Why is this important?
Detects when Smart Money is accumulating or distributing before major moves.
Filters out false breakouts by confirming momentum strength before entry.
📌 3. Trade Entry Triggers (Candlestick Patterns & ADX Filter)
To avoid random entries, the strategy waits for specific candlestick confirmations with ADX trend strength:
✔ Bullish Entry (Buy Signal) → Requires:
Bullish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD above its moving average (Liquidity inflows)
9-EMA > 21-EMA & price above VWAP (Trend confirmation)
✔ Bearish Entry (Sell Signal) → Requires:
Bearish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD below its moving average (Liquidity outflows)
9-EMA < 21-EMA & price below VWAP (Trend confirmation)
📌 4. Risk Management & Profit Protection
This strategy is built with strict risk management to maintain low drawdowns and maximize profits:
✔ Dynamic Position Sizing → Automatically adjusts trade size to risk a fixed $400 per trade.
✔ Adaptive Stop-Losses → Uses ATR-based stop-loss (0.8x ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
✔ Take-Profit Targets → Fixed at 2x ATR for a Risk:Reward ratio of 2:1.
✔ Break-Even Protection → Moves stop-loss to entry once price moves 1x ATR in profit, locking in gains.
✔ Max Daily Loss Limit (-$1,000) → Stops trading if total losses exceed $1,000, complying with Topstep rules.
Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
If you have any cool features you think can benefit Divergence IQ - please feel free to share them!
Thank you so much TradingView community!
Non-Repainting Renko Emulation Strategy [PineIndicators]Introduction: The Repainting Problem in Renko Strategies
Renko charts are widely used in technical analysis for their ability to filter out market noise and emphasize price trends. Unlike traditional candlestick charts, which are based on fixed time intervals, Renko charts construct bricks only when price moves by a predefined amount. This makes them useful for trend identification while reducing small fluctuations.
However, Renko-based trading strategies often fail in live trading due to a fundamental issue: repainting .
Why Do Renko Strategies Repaint?
Most trading platforms, including TradingView, generate Renko charts retrospectively based on historical price data. This leads to the following issues:
Renko bricks can change or disappear when new data arrives.
Backtesting results do not reflect real market conditions. Strategies may appear highly profitable in backtests because historical data is recalculated with hindsight.
Live trading produces different results than backtesting. Traders cannot know in advance whether a new Renko brick will form until price moves far enough.
Objective of the Renko Emulator
This script simulates Renko behavior on a standard time-based chart without repainting. Instead of using TradingView’s built-in Renko charting, which recalculates past bricks, this approach ensures that once a Renko brick is formed, it remains unchanged .
Key benefits:
No past bricks are recalculated or removed.
Trading strategies can execute reliably without false signals.
Renko-based logic can be applied on a time-based chart.
How the Renko Emulator Works
1. Parameter Configuration & Initialization
The script defines key user inputs and variables:
brickSize : Defines the Renko brick size in price points, adjustable by the user.
renkoPrice : Stores the closing price of the last completed Renko brick.
prevRenkoPrice : Stores the price level of the previous Renko brick.
brickDir : Tracks the direction of Renko bricks (1 = up, -1 = down).
newBrick : A boolean flag that indicates whether a new Renko brick has been formed.
brickStart : Stores the bar index at which the current Renko brick started.
2. Identifying Renko Brick Formation Without Repainting
To ensure that the strategy does not repaint, Renko calculations are performed only on confirmed bars.
The script calculates the difference between the current price and the last Renko brick level.
If the absolute price difference meets or exceeds the brick size, a new Renko brick is formed.
The new Renko price level is updated based on the number of bricks that would fit within the price movement.
The direction (brickDir) is updated , and a flag ( newBrick ) is set to indicate that a new brick has been formed.
3. Visualizing Renko Bricks on a Time-Based Chart
Since TradingView does not support live Renko charts without repainting, the script uses graphical elements to draw Renko-style bricks on a standard chart.
Each time a new Renko brick forms, a colored rectangle (box) is drawn:
Green boxes → Represent bullish Renko bricks.
Red boxes → Represent bearish Renko bricks.
This allows traders to see Renko-like formations on a time-based chart, while ensuring that past bricks do not change.
Trading Strategy Implementation
Since the Renko emulator provides a stable price structure, it is possible to apply a consistent trading strategy that would otherwise fail on a traditional Renko chart.
1. Entry Conditions
A long trade is entered when:
The previous Renko brick was bearish .
The new Renko brick confirms an upward trend .
There is no existing long position .
A short trade is entered when:
The previous Renko brick was bullish .
The new Renko brick confirms a downward trend .
There is no existing short position .
2. Exit Conditions
Trades are closed when a trend reversal is detected:
Long trades are closed when a new bearish brick forms.
Short trades are closed when a new bullish brick forms.
Key Characteristics of This Approach
1. No Historical Recalculation
Once a Renko brick forms, it remains fixed and does not change.
Past price action does not shift based on future data.
2. Trading Strategies Operate Consistently
Since the Renko structure is stable, strategies can execute without unexpected changes in signals.
Live trading results align more closely with backtesting performance.
3. Allows Renko Analysis Without Switching Chart Types
Traders can apply Renko logic without leaving a standard time-based chart.
This enables integration with indicators that normally cannot be used on traditional Renko charts.
Considerations When Using This Strategy
Trade execution may be delayed compared to standard Renko charts. Since new bricks are only confirmed on closed bars, entries may occur slightly later.
Brick size selection is important. A smaller brickSize results in more frequent trades, while a larger brickSize reduces signals.
Conclusion
This Renko Emulation Strategy provides a method for using Renko-based trading strategies on a time-based chart without repainting. By ensuring that bricks do not change once formed, it allows traders to use stable Renko logic while avoiding the issues associated with traditional Renko charts.
This approach enables accurate backtesting and reliable live execution, making it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies that rely on Renko price action.
EMA 5 Alert Candle ShortThe 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Strategy is a simple yet effective trading strategy that helps traders identify short-term trends and potential entry and exit points. This strategy is widely used in intraday and swing trading, particularly in forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
Components of the 5 EMA Strategy
5 EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price movements.
15-minute or 1-hour timeframe (commonly used, but adaptable to other timeframes).
Candlestick Patterns: To confirm entry signals.
How the 5 EMA Strategy Works
Buy (Long) Setup:
Price Above the 5 EMA: The price should be trading above the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A minor retracement or consolidation near the 5 EMA.
Bullish Candlestick Confirmation: A bullish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) forms near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a long trade at the close of the bullish candle.
Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low or 5-10 pips below the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2 or trail the stop using a higher EMA (e.g., 10 or 20 EMA).
Sell (Short) Setup:
Price Below the 5 EMA: The price should be trading below the 5 EMA.
Pullback to the 5 EMA: A small retracement towards the 5 EMA.
Bearish Candlestick Confirmation: A bearish candle (e.g., engulfing or pin bar) near the 5 EMA.
Entry: Enter a short trade at the close of the bearish candle.
Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high or 5-10 pips above the 5 EMA.
Take Profit: Aim for a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use a trailing stop.
Additional Filters for Better Accuracy
Higher Timeframe Confirmation: Check the trend on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour).
Volume Confirmation: Enter trades when volume is increasing.
Avoid Sideways Market: Use the strategy only when the market is trending.
Advantages of the 5 EMA Strategy
✔️ Simple and easy to use.
✔️ Works well in trending markets.
✔️ Helps traders capture short-term momentum.
Disadvantages
❌ Less effective in choppy or sideways markets.
❌ Requires discipline in following stop-loss rules.
Color Code Overlay StrategyColor Code Overlay Strategy
This strategy utilizes a custom color-coded overlay to provide accurate buy and sell signals based on dynamic color changes of the candles. The indicator works by calculating a color shift between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles, with the color change logic driven by both price movement and volatility.
How the Color Change is Calculated:
The color change is determined by comparing the closing price relative to the opening price of each candle, as is typical with a traditional bullish or bearish candle. However, to make this strategy more adaptive to market conditions, the color change is further refined by incorporating the Average True Range (ATR).
Volatility Adjusted Color Shift: The strategy calculates a dynamic threshold based on the ATR value, which represents market volatility. If the price movement between the open and close of the candle exceeds a specific percentage of the ATR, the color of the candle shifts from red (bearish) to green (bullish) or vice versa.
Threshold Calculation: A fixed percentage (e.g., 1%) of the ATR range is used to define the minimum price movement required for a color change. This ensures that only significant price movements, adjusted for volatility, trigger the color shift. The larger the ATR (higher volatility), the greater the price movement required to cause a change in color.
Bullish to Bearish (Green to Red): When the candle closes lower than the open, and the price movement exceeds the dynamic threshold based on ATR, the candle color changes from green to red, signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Bearish to Bullish (Red to Green): When the candle closes higher than the open, and the price movement exceeds the ATR-based threshold, the candle color shifts from red to green, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Key Features:
Dynamic Color Change: The strategy identifies key color changes from bullish to bearish (green to red) and from bearish to bullish (red to green) based on specific thresholds in candle size.
Customizable Timeframe: You can specify a custom trading window to restrict the strategy’s actions to specific hours of the day.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy incorporates risk management features, allowing you to set a stop loss and take profit based on the price in pips.
Flexible Trade Types: Choose between "Both" (long and short), "Long Only," or "Short Only" trading options to suit your preferred trading style.
Visual Alerts: Receive visual alerts with arrows when color changes occur, signaling potential trade opportunities. Green arrows indicate a bullish shift, while red arrows show a bearish shift.
This strategy is ideal for traders who prefer a color-coded overlay to easily visualize price action and make informed decisions based on bullish or bearish trends. Whether you’re looking for quick, short-term opportunities or analyzing market reversals, this strategy offers an intuitive approach to identifying trade signals.
Aggressive Strategy for High IV Market### Strategic background
In a volatile high IV market, prices are volatile and market expectations of future uncertainty are high. This environment provides opportunities for aggressive trading strategies, but also comes with a high level of risk. In pursuit of a high Sharpe ratio (i.e., risk-adjusted return), we need to design a strategy that captures the benefits of market volatility while effectively controlling risk. Based on daily line cycles, I choose a combination of trend tracking and volatility filtering for highly volatile assets such as stocks, futures or cryptocurrencies.
---
### Strategy framework
#### Data
- Use daily data, including opening, closing, high and low prices.
- Suitable for highly volatile markets such as technology stocks, cryptocurrencies or volatile index futures.
#### Core indicators
1. ** Trend Indicators ** :
Fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA_fast) : 10-day EMA, used to capture short-term trends.
- Slow Exponential Moving Average (EMA_slow) : 30-day EMA, used to determine the long-term trend.
2. ** Volatility Indicators ** :
Average true Volatility (ATR) : 14-day ATR, used to measure market volatility.
- ATR mean (ATR_mean) : A simple moving average of the 20-day ATR that serves as a volatility benchmark.
- ATR standard deviation (ATR_std) : The standard deviation of the 20-day ATR, which is used to judge extreme changes in volatility.
#### Trading logic
The strategy is based on a trend following approach of double moving averages and filters volatility through ATR indicators, ensuring that trading only in a high-volatility environment is in line with aggressive and high sharpe ratio goals.
---
### Entry and exit conditions
#### Admission conditions
- ** Multiple entry ** :
- EMA_fast Crosses EMA_slow (gold cross), indicating that the short-term trend is turning upward.
-ATR > ATR_mean + 1 * ATR_std indicates that the current volatility is above average and the market is in a state of high volatility.
- ** Short Entry ** :
- EMA_fast Crosses EMA_slow (dead cross) downward, indicating that the short-term trend turns downward.
-ATR > ATR_mean + 1 * ATR_std, confirming high volatility.
#### Appearance conditions
- ** Long show ** :
- EMA_fast Enters the EMA_slow (dead cross) downward, and the trend reverses.
- or ATR < ATR_mean-1 * ATR_std, volatility decreases significantly and the market calms down.
- ** Bear out ** :
- EMA_fast Crosses the EMA_slow (gold cross) on the top, and the trend reverses.
- or ATR < ATR_mean-1 * ATR_std, the volatility is reduced.
---
### Risk management
To control the high risk associated with aggressive strategies, set up the following mechanisms:
1. ** Stop loss ** :
- Long: Entry price - 2 * ATR.
- Short: Entry price + 2 * ATR.
- Dynamic stop loss based on ATR can adapt to market volatility changes.
2. ** Stop profit ** :
- Fixed profit target can be selected (e.g. entry price ± 4 * ATR).
- Or use trailing stop losses to lock in profits following price movements.
3. ** Location Management ** :
- Reduce positions appropriately in times of high volatility, such as dynamically adjusting position size according to ATR, ensuring that the risk of a single trade does not exceed 1%-2% of the account capital.
---
### Strategy features
- ** Aggressiveness ** : By trading only in a high ATR environment, the strategy takes full advantage of market volatility and pursues greater returns.
- ** High Sharpe ratio potential ** : Trend tracking combined with volatility filtering to avoid ineffective trades during periods of low volatility and improve the ratio of return to risk.
- ** Daily line Cycle ** : Based on daily line data, suitable for traders who operate frequently but are not too complex.
---
### Implementation steps
1. ** Data Preparation ** :
- Get the daily data of the target asset.
- Calculate EMA_fast (10 days), EMA_slow (30 days), ATR (14 days), ATR_mean (20 days), and ATR_std (20 days).
2. ** Signal generation ** :
- Check EMA cross signals and ATR conditions daily to generate long/short signals.
3. ** Execute trades ** :
- Enter according to the signal, set stop loss and profit.
- Monitor exit conditions and close positions in time.
4. ** Backtest and Optimization ** :
- Use historical data to backtest strategies to evaluate Sharpe ratios, maximum retracements, and win rates.
- Optimize parameters such as EMA period and ATR threshold to improve policy performance.
---
### Precautions
- ** Trading costs ** : Highly volatile markets may result in frequent trading, and the impact of fees and slippage on earnings needs to be considered.
- ** Risk Control ** : Aggressive strategies may face large retracements and need to strictly implement stop losses.
- ** Scalability ** : Additional metrics (such as volume or VIX) can be added to enhance strategy robustness, or combined with machine learning to predict trends and volatility.

Ultimate Trading BotHow the "Ultimate Trading Bot" Works:
This Pine Script trading bot executes buy and sell trades based on a combination of technical indicators:
Indicators Used:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures momentum and determines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels.
A crossover above 30 suggests a potential buy, and a cross below 70 suggests a potential sell.
Moving Average (MA)
A simple moving average (SMA) of 50 periods to track the trend.
Prices above the MA indicate an uptrend, while prices below indicate a downtrend.
Stochastic Oscillator (%K and %D)
Identifies overbought and oversold conditions using a smoothed stochastic formula.
A crossover of %K above %D signals a buy, and a crossover below %D signals a sell.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Uses a 12-period fast EMA and a 26-period slow EMA, with a 9-period signal line.
A crossover of MACD above the signal line suggests a bullish move, and a cross below suggests bearish movement.
Trade Execution:
Buy (Long Entry) Conditions:
RSI crosses above 30 (indicating recovery from an oversold state).
The closing price is above the 50-period moving average (showing an uptrend).
The MACD line crosses above the signal line (indicating upward momentum).
The Stochastic %K crosses above %D (indicating bullish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot enters a long (buy) position.
Sell (Exit Trade) Conditions:
RSI crosses below 70 (indicating overbought conditions).
The closing price is below the 50-period moving average (downtrend).
The MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish signal).
The Stochastic %K crosses below %D (bearish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot closes the long position.
Visuals:
The bot plots the moving average, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic indicators for reference.
It also displays buy/sell signals with arrows:
Green arrow (Buy Signal) → When all buy conditions are met.
Red arrow (Sell Signal) → When all sell conditions are met.
How to Use It in TradingView:
[3Commas] HA & MAHA & MA
🔷What it does: This tool is designed to test a trend-following strategy using Heikin Ashi candles and moving averages. It enters trades after pullbacks, aiming to let profits run once the risk-to-reward ratio reaches 1:1 while securing the position.
🔷Who is it for: It is ideal for traders looking to compare final results using fixed versus dynamic take profits by adjusting parameters and trade direction—a concept applicable to most trading strategies.
🔷How does it work: We use moving averages to define the market trend, then wait for opposite Heikin Ashi candles to form against it. Once these candles reverse in favor of the trend, we enter the trade, using the last swing created by the pullback as the stop loss. By applying the breakeven ratio, we protect the trade and let it run, using the slower moving average as a trailing stop.
A buy signal is generated when:
The previous candle is bearish (ha_bear ), indicating a pullback.
The fast moving average (ma1) is above the slow moving average (ma2), confirming an uptrend.
The current candle is bullish (ha_bull), showing trend continuation.
The Heikin Ashi close is above the fast moving average (ma1), reinforcing the bullish bias.
The real price close is above the open (close > open), ensuring bullish momentum in actual price data.
The signal is confirmed on the closed candle (barstate.isconfirmed) to avoid premature signals.
dir is undefined (na(dir)), preventing repeated signals in the same direction.
A sell signal is generated when:
The previous candle is bullish (ha_bull ), indicating a temporary upward move before a potential reversal.
The fast moving average (ma1) is below the slow moving average (ma2), confirming a downtrend.
The current candle is bearish (ha_bear), showing trend continuation to the downside.
The Heikin Ashi close is below the fast moving average (ma1), reinforcing bearish pressure.
The real price close is below the open (close < open), confirming bearish momentum in actual price data.
The signal is confirmed after the candle closes (barstate.isconfirmed), avoiding premature entries.
dir is undefined (na(dir)), preventing consecutive signals in the same direction.
In simple terms, this setup looks for trend continuation after a pullback, confirming entries with both Heikin Ashi and real price action, supported by moving average alignment to avoid false signals.
If the price reaches a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, the stop will be moved to the entry point. However, if the slow moving average surpasses this level, it will become the new exit point, acting as a trailing stop
🔷Why It’s Unique
Easily visualizes the benefits of using risk-to-reward ratios when trading instead of fixed percentages.
Provides a simple and straightforward approach to trading, embracing the "keep it simple" concept.
Offers clear visualization of DCA Bot entry and exit points based on user preferences.
Includes an option to review the message format before sending signals to bots, with compatibility for multi-pair and futures contract pairs.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator
⚠️Very important: The indicator must be used on charts with real price data, such as Japanese candlesticks, line charts, etc. Do not use it on Heikin Ashi charts, as this may lead to unrealistic results.
🔸Since this is a trend-following strategy, use it on timeframes above 4 hours, where market noise is reduced and trends are clearer. Also, carefully review the statistics before using it, focusing on pairs that tend to have long periods of well-defined trends.
🔸Disadvantages:
False Signals in Ranges: Consolidating markets can generate unreliable signals.
Lagging Indicator: Being based on moving averages, it may react late to sudden price movements.
🔸Advantages:
Trend Focused: Simplifies the identification of trending markets.
Noise Reduction: Uses Heikin Ashi candles to identify trend continuation after pullbacks.
Broad Applicability: Suitable for forex, crypto, stocks, and commodities.
🔸The strategy provides a systematic way to analyze markets but does not guarantee successful outcomes. Use it as an additional tool rather than relying solely on an automated system.
Trading results depend on various factors, including market conditions, trader discipline, and risk management. Past performance does not ensure future success, so always approach the market cautiously.
🔸Risk Management: Define stop-loss levels, position sizes, and profit targets before entering any trade. Be prepared for potential losses and ensure your approach aligns with your overall trading plan.

🔷 HOW TO USE
🔸 Adjust Settings:
The default values—MA1 (9) and MA2 (18) with EMA calculation—generally work well. However, you can increase these values, such as 20 and 40, to better identify stronger trends.
🔸 Choose a Symbol that Typically Trends:
Select an asset that tends to form clear trends. Keep in mind that the Strategy Tester results may show poor performance for certain assets, making them less suitable for sending signals to bots.
🔸 Experiment with Ratios:
Test different take profit and breakeven ratios to compare various scenarios—especially to observe how the strategy performs when only the trade is protected.
🔸This is an example of how protecting the trade works: once the price moves in favor of the position with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, the stop loss is moved to the entry price. If the Slow MA surpasses this level, it will act as a trailing stop, aiming to follow the trend and maximize potential gains.
🔸In contrast, in this example, for the same trade, if we set a take profit at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio—which is generally considered a good risk-reward relationship—we can see how a significant portion of the upward move is left on the table.
🔸Results Review:
It is important to check the Max Drawdown. This value should ideally not exceed 10% of your capital. Consider adjusting the trade size to ensure this threshold is not surpassed.
Remember to include the correct values for commission and slippage according to the symbol and exchange where you are conducting the tests. Otherwise, the results will not be realistic.
If you are satisfied with the results, you may consider automating your trades. However, it is strongly recommended to use a small amount of capital or a demo account to test proper execution before committing real funds.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot:
Verify Messages: Ensure the message matches the one specified by the DCA Bot.

CBC Strategy with Trend Confirmation & Separate Stop LossCBC Flip Strategy with Trend Confirmation and ATR-Based Targets
This strategy is based on the CBC Flip concept taught by MapleStax and inspired by the original CBC Flip indicator by AsiaRoo. It focuses on identifying potential reversals or trend continuation points using a combination of candlestick patterns (CBC Flips), trend filters, and a time-based entry window. This approach helps traders avoid false signals and increase trade accuracy.
What is a CBC Flip?
The CBC Flip is a candlestick-based pattern that identifies moments when the market is likely to change direction or strengthen its trend. It checks for a shift in price behavior between consecutive candles, signaling a bullish (upward) or bearish (downward) move.
However, not all flips are created equal! This strategy differentiates between Strong Flips and All Flips, allowing traders to choose between a more conservative or aggressive approach.
Strong Flips vs. All Flips
Strong Flips
A Strong Flip is a high-probability setup that occurs only after liquidity is swept from the previous candle’s high or low.
What is a liquidity sweep? This happens when the price briefly moves beyond the high or low of the previous candle, triggering stop-losses and trapping traders in the wrong direction. These sweeps often create fuel for the next move, making them powerful reversal signals.
Examples:
Long Setup: The price dips below the previous candle’s low (sweeping liquidity) and then closes higher, signaling a potential bullish move.
Short Setup: The price moves above the previous candle’s high and then closes lower, signaling a potential bearish move.
Why Use Strong Flips?
They provide fewer signals, but the accuracy is generally higher.
Ideal for trending markets where liquidity sweeps often mark key turning points.
All Flips
All Flips are less selective, offering both Strong Flips and additional signals without requiring a liquidity sweep.
This approach gives traders more frequent opportunities but comes with a higher risk of false signals, especially in sideways markets.
Examples:
Long Setup: A CBC flip occurs without sweeping the previous low, but the trend direction is confirmed (slow EMA is still above VWAP).
Short Setup: A CBC flip occurs without sweeping the previous high, but the trend is still bearish (slow EMA below VWAP).
Why Use All Flips?
Provides more frequent entries for active or aggressive traders.
Works well in trending markets but requires caution during consolidation periods.
How This Strategy Works
The strategy combines CBC Flips with multiple filters to ensure better trade quality:
Trend Confirmation: The slow EMA (20-period) must be positioned relative to the VWAP to confirm the overall trend direction.
Long Trades: Slow EMA must be above VWAP (upward trend).
Short Trades: Slow EMA must be below VWAP (downward trend).
Time-Based Filter: Traders can specify trading hours to limit entries to a particular time window, helping avoid low-volume or high-volatility periods.
Profit Target and Stop-Loss:
Profit Target: Defined as a multiple of the 14-period ATR (Average True Range). For example, if the ATR is 10 points and the profit target multiplier is set to 1.5, the strategy aims for a 15-point profit.
Stop-Loss: Uses a dynamic, candle-based stop-loss:
Long Trades: The trade closes if the market closes below the low of two candles ago.
Short Trades: The trade closes if the market closes above the high of two candles ago.
This approach adapts to recent price behavior and protects against unexpected reversals.
Customizable Settings
Strong Flips vs. All Flips: Choose between a more selective or aggressive entry style.
Profit Target Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier to control the distance for profit targets.
Entry Time Range: Define specific trading hours for the strategy.

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) | FractalystWhat's the purpose of this strategy?
The purpose of dollar cost averaging (DCA) is to grow investments over time using a disciplined, methodical approach used by many top institutions like MicroStrategy and other institutions.
Here's how it functions:
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA): This technique involves investing a set amount of money regularly, regardless of market conditions. It helps to mitigate the risk of investing a large sum at a peak price by spreading out your investment, thus potentially lowering your average cost per share over time.
Regular Contributions: By adding money to your investments on a pre-determined frequency and dollar amount defined by the user, you take advantage of compounding. The script will remind you to contribute based on your chosen schedule, which can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This systematic approach ensures that your returns can earn their own returns, much like interest on savings but potentially at a higher rate.
Technical Analysis: The strategy employs a market trend ratio to gauge market sentiment. It calculates the ratio of bullish vs bearish breakouts across various timeframes, assigning this ratio a percentage-based score to determine the directional bias. Once this score exceeds a user-selected percentage, the strategy looks to take buy entries, signaling a favorable time for investment based on current market trends.
Fundamental Analysis: This aspect looks at the health of the economy and companies within it to determine bullish market conditions. Specifically, we consider:
Specifically, it considers:
Interest Rate: High interest rates can affect borrowing costs, potentially slowing down economic growth or making stocks less attractive compared to fixed income.
Inflation Rate: Inflation erodes purchasing power, but moderate inflation can be a sign of a healthy economy. We look for investments that might benefit from or withstand inflation.
GDP Rate: GDP growth indicates the overall health of the economy; we aim to invest in sectors poised to grow with the economy.
Unemployment Rate: Lower unemployment typically signals consumer confidence and spending power, which can boost certain sectors.
By integrating these elements, the strategy aims to:
Reduce Investment Volatility: By spreading out your investments, you're less impacted by short-term market swings.
Enhance Growth Potential: Using both technical and fundamental filters helps in choosing investments that are more likely to appreciate over time.
Manage Risk: The strategy aims to balance the risk of market timing by investing consistently and choosing assets wisely based on both economic data and market conditions.

What are Regular Contributions in this strategy?
Regular Contributions involve adding money to your investments on a pre-determined frequency and dollar amount defined by the user. The script will remind you to contribute based on your chosen schedule, which can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This systematic approach ensures that your returns can earn their own returns, much like interest on savings but potentially at a higher rate.
----
How do regular contributions enhance compounding and reduce timing risk?
Enhances Compounding: Regular contributions leverage the power of compounding, where returns on investments can generate their own returns, potentially leading to exponential growth over time.
Reduces Timing Risk: By investing regularly, the strategy minimizes the risk associated with trying to time the market, spreading out the investment cost over time and potentially reducing the impact of volatility.
Automated Reminders: The script reminds users to make contributions based on their chosen schedule, ensuring consistency and discipline in investment practices, which is crucial for long-term success.
----
How does the strategy integrate technical and fundamental analysis for investors?
A: The strategy combines technical and fundamental analysis in the following manner:
Technical Analysis: It uses a market trend ratio to determine the directional bias by calculating the ratio of bullish vs bearish breakouts. Once this ratio exceeds a user-selected percentage threshold, the strategy signals to take buy entries, optimizing the timing within the given timeframe(s).
Fundamental Analysis: This aspect assesses the broader economic environment to identify sectors or assets that are likely to benefit from current economic conditions. By understanding these fundamentals, the strategy ensures investments are made in assets with strong growth potential.
This integration allows the strategy to select investments that are both technically favorable for entry and fundamentally sound, providing a comprehensive approach to investment decisions in the crypto, stock, and commodities markets.

How does the strategy identify market structure? What are the underlying calculations?
Q: How does the strategy identify market structure?
A: The strategy identifies market structure by utilizing an efficient logic with for loops to pinpoint the first swing candle that features a pivot of 2. This marks the beginning of the break of structure, where the market's previous trend or pattern is considered invalidated or changed.
What are the underlying calculations for identifying market structure?
A: The underlying calculations involve:
Identifying Swing Points: The strategy looks for swing highs (marked with blue Xs) and swing lows (marked with red Xs). A swing high is identified when a candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles before and after it. Conversely, a swing low is when a candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles before and after it.
Break of Structure (BOS):
Bullish BOS: This occurs when the price breaks above the swing high level of the previous structure, indicating a potential shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish BOS: This happens when the price breaks below the swing low level of the previous structure, signaling a potential shift to a bearish trend.
Structural Liquidity and Invalidation:
Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish BOS or the first swing low in a bearish BOS.
Structural Invalidation: If the price moves back to the level of the first swing low before the bullish BOS or the first swing high before the bearish BOS, it invalidates the break of structure, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the previous trend.
This method provides users with a technical approach to filter market regimes, offering an advantage by minimizing the risk of overfitting to historical data, which is often a concern with traditional indicators like moving averages.
By focusing on identifying pivotal swing points and the subsequent breaks of structure, the strategy maintains a balance between sensitivity to market changes and robustness against historical data anomalies, ensuring a more adaptable and potentially more reliable market analysis tool.
What entry criteria are used in this script?
The script uses two entry models for trading decisions: BreakOut and Fractal.
Underlying Calculations:
Breakout: The script records the most recent swing high by storing it in a variable. When the price closes above this recorded level, and all other predefined conditions are satisfied, the script triggers a breakout entry. This approach is considered conservative because it waits for the price to confirm a breakout above the previous high before entering a trade. As shown in the image, as soon as the price closes above the new candle (first tick), the long entry gets taken. The stop-loss is initially set and then moved to break-even once the price moves in favor of the trade.
Fractal: This method involves identifying a swing low with a period of 2, which means it looks for a low point where the price is lower than the two candles before and after it. Once this pattern is detected, the script executes the trade. This is an aggressive approach since it doesn't wait for further price confirmation. In the image, this is represented by the 'Fractal 2' label where the script identifies and acts on the swing low pattern.
----
How does the script calculate trend score? What are the underlying calculations?
Market Trend Ratio: The script calculates the ratio of bullish to bearish breakouts. This involves:
Counting Bullish Breakouts: A bullish breakout is counted when the price breaks above a recent swing high (as identified in the strategy's market structure analysis).
Counting Bearish Breakouts: A bearish breakout is counted when the price breaks below a recent swing low.
Percentage-Based Score: This ratio is then converted into a percentage-based score:
For example, if there are 10 bullish breakouts and 5 bearish breakouts in a given timeframe, the ratio would be 10:5 or 2:1. This could be translated into a score where 66.67% (10/(10+5) * 100) represents the bullish trend strength.
The score might be calculated as (Number of Bullish Breakouts / Total Breakouts) * 100.
User-Defined Threshold: The strategy uses this score to determine when to take buy entries. If the trend score exceeds a user-defined percentage threshold, it indicates a strong enough bullish trend to justify a buy entry. For instance, if the user sets the threshold at 60%, the script would look for a buy entry when the trend score is above this level.
Timeframe Consideration: The calculations are performed across the timeframes specified by the user, ensuring the trend score reflects the market's behavior over different periods, which could be daily, weekly, or any other relevant timeframe.
This method provides a quantitative measure of market trend strength, helping to make informed decisions based on the balance between bullish and bearish market movements.
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy?
This strategy employs two types of stop-loss methods: Initial Stop-loss and Trailing Stop-Loss.
Underlying Calculations:
Initial Stop-loss:
ATR Based: The strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set an initial stop-loss, which helps in accounting for market volatility without predicting price direction.
Calculation:
- First, the True Range (TR) is calculated for each period, which is the greatest of:
- Current Period High - Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High - Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low - Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then the moving average of these TR values over a specified period, typically 14 periods by default. This ATR value can be used to set the stop-loss at a distance from the entry price that reflects the current market volatility.
Swing Low Based:
For this method, the stop-loss is set based on the most recent swing low identified in the market structure analysis. This approach uses the lowest point of the recent price action as a reference for setting the stop-loss.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
The strategy uses structural liquidity and structural invalidation levels across multiple timeframes to adjust the stop-loss once the trade is profitable. This method involves:
Detecting Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, the liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish scenario or the first swing low in a bearish scenario. These levels serve as potential areas where the price might find support or resistance, allowing the stop-loss to trail the price movement.
Detecting Structural Invalidation: If the price returns to the level of the first swing low before a bullish break of structure or the first swing high before a bearish break of structure, it suggests the trend might be reversing or invalidating, prompting the adjustment of the stop-loss to lock in profits or minimize losses.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop. The ATR-based stop-loss adapts to the current market conditions by considering the volatility, ensuring that the stop-loss is not too tight during volatile periods, which could lead to premature exits, nor too loose during calm markets, which might result in larger losses. Similarly, the swing low based stop-loss provides a logical exit point if the market structure changes unfavorably.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance. This involves backtesting the strategy with different settings for the ATR period, the distance from the swing low, and how the trailing stop-loss reacts to structural liquidity and invalidation levels.
Through this process, you can tailor the strategy to perform optimally in different market environments, ensuring that the stop-loss mechanism supports the trade's longevity while safeguarding against significant drawdowns.
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
Percentage (%) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain percentage above the entry.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price * (1 + Percentage / 100)
Example:
If the entry price is $100 and the break-even percentage is 5%, the break-even level is $100 * 1.05 = $105.
Risk-to-Reward (RR) Based:
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
For TP
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
What tables are available in this script?
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Total Commission: Displays the cumulative commissions incurred from all trades executed within the selected backtesting window. This value is derived by summing the commission fees for each trade on your chart.
Average Commission: Represents the average commission per trade, calculated by dividing the Total Commission by the total number of closed trades. This metric is crucial for assessing the impact of trading costs on overall profitability.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month and year.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- UI Table: A user-friendly table that allows users to view and save the selected strategy parameters from user inputs. This table enables easy access to key settings and configurations, providing a straightforward solution for saving strategy parameters by simply taking a screenshot with Alt + S or ⌥ + S.

- Choose the timeframe you are comfortable trading with. It is strongly recommended to use a timeframe above 15 minutes to minimize the impact of commissions/slippage on your profits.
Set Commission and Slippage:
- Properly set the commission and slippage in the strategy properties according to your broker/prop firm specifications.
Parameter Optimization:
- Use trial and error to test different parameters until you find the performance results you are looking for in the summary table or, preferably, through deep backtesting using the strategy tester.
Trade Count:
- Ensure the number of trades is 200 or more; the higher, the better for statistical significance.
Positive Average Trade:
- Make sure the average trade is above zero.
(An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.)
Performance Metrics:
- Look for a high profit factor, and net profit with minimum drawdown.
- Ideally, aim for a drawdown under 20-30%, depending on your risk tolerance.
Refinement and Optimization:
- Try out different markets and timeframes.
- Continue working on refining your edge using the available filters and components to further optimize your strategy.
What makes this strategy original?
Incorporation of Fundamental Analysis:
This strategy integrates fundamental analysis by considering key economic indicators such as interest rates, inflation, GDP growth, and unemployment rates. These fundamentals help in assessing the broader economic health, which in turn influences sector performance and market trends. By understanding these economic conditions, the strategy can identify sectors or assets that are likely to thrive, ensuring investments are made in environments conducive to growth. This approach allows for a more informed investment decision, aligning technical entries with fundamentally strong market conditions, thus potentially enhancing the strategy's effectiveness over time.
Technical Analysis Without Classical Methods:
The strategy's technical analysis diverges from traditional methods like moving averages by focusing on market structure through a trend score system.
Instead of using lagging indicators, it employs a real-time analysis of market trends by calculating the ratio of bullish to bearish breakouts. This provides several benefits:
Immediate Market Sentiment: The trend score system reacts more dynamically to current market conditions, offering insights into the market's immediate sentiment rather than historical trends, which can often lag behind real-time changes.
Reduced Overfitting: By not relying on moving averages or similar classical indicators, the strategy avoids the common pitfall of overfitting to historical data, which can lead to poor performance in new market conditions. The trend score provides a fresh perspective on market direction, potentially leading to more robust trading signals.
Clear Entry Signals: With the trend score, entry decisions are based on a clear percentage threshold, making the strategy's decision-making process straightforward and less subjective than interpreting moving average crossovers or similar signals.
Regular Contributions and Reminders:
The strategy encourages regular investments through a system of predefined frequency and amount, which could be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This systematic approach:
Enhances Compounding: Regular contributions leverage the power of compounding, where returns on investments can generate their own returns, potentially leading to exponential growth over time.
Reduces Timing Risk: By investing regularly, the strategy minimizes the risk associated with trying to time the market, spreading out the investment cost over time and potentially reducing the impact of volatility.
Automated Reminders: The script reminds users to make contributions based on their chosen schedule, ensuring consistency and discipline in investment practices, which is crucial for long-term success.
Long-Term Wealth Building:
Focused on long-term wealth accumulation, this strategy:
Promotes Patience and Discipline: By emphasizing regular contributions and a disciplined approach to both entry and risk management, it aligns with the principles of long-term investing, discouraging impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.
Diversification Across Asset Classes: Operating across crypto, stocks, and commodities, the strategy provides diversification, which is a key component of long-term wealth building, reducing risk through varied exposure.
Growth Over Time: The strategy's design to work with the market's natural growth cycles, supported by fundamental analysis, aims for sustainable growth rather than quick profits, aligning with the goals of investors looking to build wealth over decades.
This comprehensive approach, combining fundamental insights, innovative technical analysis, disciplined investment habits, and a focus on long-term growth, offers a unique and potentially effective pathway for investors seeking to build wealth steadily over time.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The SFX Algo can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Buy Signal (Any, or 1-5 ☆)
This condition is triggered when a Buy Signal occurs. Other timeframes are supported with this condition.
2. Buy | TP (1, 2 or 3)
This condition is triggered when a TP signal of any Buy signal occurs.
3. Buy | SL
This condition is triggered when a SL signal of any Buy signal occurs.
4. Buy | Rating Upgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a buy signal is increased.
5. Buy | Rating Downgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a buy signal is decreased.
6. Sell Signal (Any, or 1-5 ☆)
This condition is triggered when a Sell Signal occurs. Other timeframes are supported with this condition.
7. Sell | TP (1, 2 or 3)
This condition is triggered when a TP signal of any Sell signal occurs.
8. Sell | SL
This condition is triggered when a SL signal of any Sell signal occurs.
9. Sell | Rating Upgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a sell signal is increased.
10. Sell | Rating Downgrade
This condition is triggered when the rating of a sell signal is decreased.
11. Retracement Wave Retest (Bullish or Bearish)
A retest on the Retracement Wave occurs when the price temporarily moves against the prevailing trend, touching or entering the wave before continuing in the original trend direction. This retest serves as a confirmation that the wave is acting as dynamic support or resistance.
12. Retracement Wave Retracement (Bullish or Bearish)
A retracement on the Retracement Wave occurs when the price touches the wave, the condition is triggered immediately.
13. Volatility Bands Retest (Bullish or Bearish)
A retest of Volatility Bands occurs when the price initially moves beyond the bands, then pulls back to "retest" the band it just broke through before continuing its move. This can provide traders with confirmation of a breakout or signal a potential reversal.
14. Volatility Bands Retracement (Bullish or Bearish)
A retracement on the Volatility Bands occur when the price touches the band, the condition is triggered immediately.
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The SFX Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features for Buy & Sell signals. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 3 SFX Algo conditions and 2 Source conditions. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side of them.
You can select which timeframe this condition should work on for Buy & Sell signals. If you select "Chart", the condition will work for the chart's current timeframe.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The SFX Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
🧩EXIT PERCENTAGES
For each 3 dynamic take-profit conditions, you can set the amount of the position to exit in terms of percentage. It's important to make sure that the total of the exit percentages are 100%.
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, which you can set it's activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and it's value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenerio for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks, and the activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you will need to have a Fixed SL setup.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Buy Signal Any☆, Step 1
Bullish R. Wave Retest, Step 2
Bullish V. Bands Retest, Step 2
open > close, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Buy Signal with any star rating in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a Bullish R. Wave Retest, or a Bullish V. Bands Retest to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check candlesticks for the condition open > close. If a bullish candlestick occurs, a long position will be entered.
⏰ ALERTS
This indicator uses TradingView's strategy alert system. All entries and exits will be sent as an alert if configured. It's possible to further customize these alerts to your liking. For more information, check TradingView's strategy alert customization page: www.tradingview.com
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. Backtesting Settings
Pyramiding: Controls the number of simultaneous trades allowed in the strategy. This setting must have the same value that is entered on the script's properties tab on the settings pane.
Enable Custom Backtesting Period: Restricts backtesting to a specific date range.
Start & End Time Configuration: Define precise start and end dates for historical analysis.
2. Algorithm Settings
Sensitivity: The sensitivity setting is a key parameter that influences the number of signals the SFX Algo generates. By adjusting this parameter, you can control the frequency of signals produced by the algorithm.
Signal Strength: The Signal Strength setting filters signals based on their quality, allowing traders to focus on the most reliable opportunities. This feature helps traders balance the quantity and reliability of the algorithm’s signals to suit their trading strategy.
Time Weighting: The Time Weighting setting determines how the SFX Algo evaluates historical market data to generate signals.
a) Recent Trends
Focuses on the most recent movements for short-term analysis. This setting is good for scalpers and intraday traders who need to react quickly to market changes.
b) Mixed Trends
Balances recent and historical price movements for a comprehensive market view. This setting is well-suited for swing traders and those who want to capture medium-term opportunities by combining the benefits of short-term responsiveness with the reliability of long-term trends.
c) Long-term Trends
Relies on extended historical market data to identify broader market trends, making it an excellent choice for traders focused on long-term strategies.
Minimum Star Rating: The Minimum Star Rating setting allows you to filter signals based on their strength, showing only those that meet or exceed your chosen threshold. For instance, setting the minimum star rating to 3 ensures you only receive signals with a rating of 3 stars or higher.
3. Take Profit / Stop Loss Methods
Key Levels
The Key Levels method uses pivot points to set take profit and stop-loss levels. The TP and SL levels are shown when a new signal is generated.
Volatility Bands
This TP/SL method uses the Volatility Bands overlay to set dynamic TP and SL levels. These levels are not predetermined so they will not be shown in advance when a signal is generated.
Signal Rating
Sets take profit and stop-loss levels based on changes in a signal's rating strength. These levels are not predetermined so they will not be shown in advance when a signal is generated.
Auto Stop-Loss
The auto method can only be applied to the SL. The auto method allows the algorithm to detect SL automatically when a momentum shift is detected. You can adjust the risk tolerance of the Auto SL by adjusting the ‘Auto Risk Tolerance’ setting. You can choose between Low, Medium, and High. A high-risk tolerance will result in stop losses being triggered less often.
4. Entry Conditions for Long & Short Trades
Multiple Conditions (1-6): Configure up to six independent conditions per trade direction.
Timeframe Specification: Choose between timeframes for Buy & Sell signals.
Trade Execution Filters: Restrict trades within specific trading sessions.
5. Exit Conditions for Long & Short Trades
Exit on Opposite Signal: Automatically exit trades upon opposite trade conditions.
Exit on Session End: Closes all positions at the end of the trading session.
Multiple Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) Configurations:
TP/SL based on % move, ATR, Ticks, or Fixed Price.
Hard SL option for additional risk control.
Move SL to BE (Break Even) after a certain profit threshold.
TrinityBar**TrinityBar Strategy Description**
The TrinityBar strategy is a price‐action based trading model that leverages Bill Williams’ bar thirds concept to generate entry signals and execute market orders automatically. Here’s how it works:
1. **Bar Thirds Calculation:**
The strategy calculates the range of both the current fully formed bar and the previous fully formed bar. It then divides each bar’s range into three equal parts (thirds).
- For the current bar, the lower third and upper third levels are computed.
- The same is done for the previous bar.
2. **Bar Type Classification:**
Each bar is classified into one of several types based on where its open and close fall relative to its thirds:
- **Bullish Patterns:**
- *1‑3 Bar:* Opens in the lower third and closes in the upper third.
- *2‑3 Bar:* Opens in the middle third and closes in the upper third.
- *3‑3 Bar:* Both open and close are in the upper third.
- **Bearish Patterns:**
- *3‑1 Bar:* Opens in the upper third and closes in the lower third.
- *2‑1 Bar:* Opens in the middle third and closes in the lower third.
- *1‑1 Bar:* Both open and close are in the lower third.
3. **Signal Generation:**
- **Bullish Signal:** A valid buy is generated when the previous bar exhibits any bullish pattern (1‑3, 2‑3, or 3‑3) and the current bar is either a 1‑3 or a 3‑3 bar.
- **Bearish Signal:** A valid sell is generated when the previous bar shows any bearish pattern (1‑1, 2‑1, or 3‑1) and the current bar is either a 1‑1 or a 3‑1 bar.
4. **Visual Alerts:**
When a valid signal is identified, the strategy plots a small triangle below the bar for a buy signal (labeled “B” in green) and a triangle above the bar for a sell signal (labeled “S” in red).
5. **Trade Execution:**
Once a signal is confirmed:
- If a bullish signal is generated, any short positions are closed, and if there is no existing long position, a market long order is entered.
- Conversely, if a bearish signal occurs, any long positions are closed, and a market short order is entered if not already in a short position.
This strategy is designed to capture significant price expansions by relying solely on price action and bar structure, without relying on lagging indicators. It provides a mechanical, systematic approach that removes emotional bias from trading decisions.
ICT NY Kill Zone Auto Trading### **ICT NY Kill Zone Auto Trading Strategy (5-Min Chart)**
#### **Overview:**
This strategy is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, focusing on the **New York Kill Zone**. It is designed for trading GBP/USD exclusively on the **5-minute chart**, automatically entering and exiting trades during the US session.
#### **Key Components:**
1. **Time Filter**
- The strategy only operates during the **New York Kill Zone (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM NY Time)**.
- It ensures execution only on the **5-minute timeframe**.
2. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) Detection**
- The script identifies areas where price action left an imbalance, known as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
- These gaps indicate potential liquidity zones where price may return before continuing in the original direction.
3. **Order Blocks (OBs) Identification**
- **Bullish Order Block:** Occurs when price forms a strong bullish pattern, suggesting further upside movement.
- **Bearish Order Block:** Identified when a strong bearish formation signals potential downside continuation.
4. **Trade Execution**
- **Long Trade:** Entered when a bullish order block forms within the NY Kill Zone and aligns with an FVG.
- **Short Trade:** Entered when a bearish order block forms within the Kill Zone and aligns with an FVG.
5. **Risk Management**
- **Stop Loss:** Fixed at **30 pips** to limit downside risk.
- **Take Profit:** Set at **60 pips**, providing a **2:1 risk-reward ratio**.
6. **Visual Aids**
- The **Kill Zone is highlighted in blue** to help traders visually confirm the active session.
**Objective:**
This script aims to **capitalize on institutional price movements** within the New York session by leveraging ICT concepts such as FVGs and Order Blocks. By automating trade entries and exits, it eliminates emotions and ensures a disciplined trading approach.
Tick Marubozu StrategyStrategy Concept:
This strategy identifies Marubozu candles on a tick chart (customizable pip size) with high volume to signal strong market momentum.
Bearish Marubozu → Strong selling pressure → Enter a SELL trade
Bullish Marubozu → Strong buying pressure → Enter a BUY trade
Entry Conditions:
Marubozu Definition:
Open price ≈ High for a bearish Marubozu (minimal wick at the top).
Open price ≈ Low for a bullish Marubozu (minimal wick at the bottom).
Customizable body size (in pips).
High Volume Confirmation:
The volume of the Marubozu candle must be above the moving average of volume (e.g., 20-period SMA).
Trade Direction:
Bearish Marubozu with High Volume → SELL
Bullish Marubozu with High Volume → BUY
Exit Conditions:
Time-Based Expiry: Since it's for binary options, the trade duration is pre-defined (e.g., 1-minute expiry).
Reversal Candle: If a strong opposite Marubozu appears, it may indicate a trend shift.
Gold Pro StrategyHere’s the strategy description in a chat format:

- Trailing Stop: Adjusts to lock in profits as price moves favorably
- **Position Sizing:** 100% of equity per trade (high-risk strategy)
---
**Key Logic Flow**
1. **Trend Filter:** Use the 50/200 EMA relationship to define the market's direction
2. **Momentum Confirmation:** Confirm trend momentum with MACD crossovers
3. **RSI Validation:** Ensure RSI is within non-extreme ranges before entering trades
4. **Volatility-Based Risk Management:** Use ATR stops to manage market volatility
---
**Visual Cues**
- **Blue Line:** 50 EMA
- **Red Line:** 200 EMA
- **Green Triangles:** Long entry signals
- **Red Triangles:** Short entry signals
---
**Strengths**
- **Clear Trend Focus:** Avoids counter-trend trades
- **RSI Filter:** Prevents entering overbought or oversold conditions
- **ATR Stops:** Adapts to gold’s inherent volatility
- **Simple Rules:** Easy to follow with minimal inputs
---
**Weaknesses & Risks**
- **Infrequent Signals:** 50/200 EMA crossovers are rare
- **Potential Missed Opportunities:** Strict RSI criteria may miss some valid trends
- **Aggressive Position Sizing:** 100% equity allocation can lead to large drawdowns
- **No Profit Targets:** Relies on trailing stops rather than defined exit targets
---
**Performance Profile**
| Metric | Expected Range |
|----------------------|---------------------|
| Annual Trades | 4-8 |
| Win Rate | 55-65% |
| Max Drawdown | 25-35% |
| Profit Factor | 1.8-2.5 |
---
**Optimization Recommendations**
1. **Increase Trade Frequency**
Adjust the EMAs to shorter periods:
- `emaFastLen = input.int(30, "Fast EMA")`
- `emaSlowLen = input.int(150, "Slow EMA")`
2. **Relax RSI Filters**
Adjust the RSI range to:
- `rsiBullish = rsi > 45 and rsi < 75`
- `rsiBearish = rsi < 55 and rsi > 25`
3. **Add Profit Targets**
Introduce a profit target at 1.5% above entry:
```pine
strategy.exit("Long Exit", "Long",
stop=longStopPrice,
profit=close*1.015, // 1.5% target
trail_offset=trailOffset)
```
4. **Reduce Position Sizing**
Risk a smaller percentage per trade:
- `default_qty_value=25`
---
**Best Use Case**
This strategy excels in **strong trending markets** such as gold rallies during economic or geopolitical crises. However, during sideways or choppy market conditions, the strategy might require manual intervention to avoid false signals. Additionally, integrating fundamental analysis—like monitoring USD weakness or geopolitical risks—can enhance its effectiveness.
---
This strategy offers a balanced approach for trading gold, combining trend-following principles with risk management tailored to the volatility of the market.
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.

Optimized Engulfing StrategyOptimized Engulfing Strategy
The Optimized Engulfing Strategy is a trend-following system designed to capitalize on bullish and bearish engulfing patterns in the market. It uses a combination of price action, trend direction, and volatility-based risk management to execute high-probability trades.
Key Components:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
A bullish engulfing candle is identified when:
The current candle closes above its open (bullish).
The previous candle closes below its open (bearish).
The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open.
The current candle's open is lower than the previous candle's close.
This pattern signals potential bullish momentum.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
A bearish engulfing candle is identified when:
The current candle closes below its open (bearish).
The previous candle closes above its open (bullish).
The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open.
The current candle's open is higher than the previous candle's close.
This pattern signals potential bearish momentum.
Trend Confirmation:
Trades are only taken in the direction of the trend:
Buy: When the 50-period SMA (simple moving average) is above the 200-period SMA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell: When the 50-period SMA is below the 200-period SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Placed below the low of the engulfing candle (for buys) or above the high (for sells), with an additional buffer based on the ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by a user-defined factor (default: 1.5).
Take Profit: Calculated using a fixed risk-to-reward ratio (default: 1:2), ensuring a potential reward that is double the risk.
Session Filtering:
Trades can be limited to specific trading hours using a customizable session filter (default: 24 hours).
Trade Execution:
Separate logic is implemented for buy and sell trades, allowing independent toggling of long or short positions via user inputs.
Visualization:
Bullish and bearish engulfing candles are highlighted on the chart for clarity.
The ATR value is displayed in the top-right corner of the chart for reference.
How It Works:
Identify a bullish or bearish engulfing pattern.
Confirm the direction of the trend using the 50 SMA and 200 SMA.
Ensure the market is within the allowed session filter (e.g., London or New York sessions).
Enter a trade if all conditions are met:
Long trades for bullish engulfing patterns in an uptrend.
Short trades for bearish engulfing patterns in a downtrend.
Manage the trade using a stop loss and take profit based on ATR and the risk-reward ratio.
