Profitable Supertrend v0.1 - AlphaThis a script to try detect the best combination of supertrend parameters in a space of time. Sadly the script is slow. Evaluate all possibilities params is hard for a pinescript and my knowledge too. In some cases, when you want evaluate many time could be the script fails for timeout. Perhaps with time I could enhance. For this problem of speed the calculate of combinatios it's not complete: In factor use a increment of 0.2 in each param (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 ...) in period the increment for each value is 3. The range for factor it's from 3.0 to 12.0. The range of period it's from 10 to 43
My knowledge don't let me go more far. Perhaps with time I can enhance the script.
PMax on RSI with Tillson T3Profit Maximizer Indicator on RSI with Tillson T3 Moving Average:
PMax uses ATR calculation inside, for this reason users couldn't manage to use PMax on RSI because RSI indicator doesn't have High and Low values in bars, but ATR needs that values. So I personally calculate RSI in a different way to have High and Low values of RSI wrt price bars.
IMPORTANT:
Because of the sudden movements and divergences on RSI, this indicator must firstly optimized for the charts before using. Optimization can be held by users for the meaningful parameters for each chart.
3 parameters are critical when optimizing:
First: Multiplier
Second: Tillson T3 Length
Third: T3 Volume Factor
Here are some information about Profit Maximizer:
PMax Indicator:
PMax Screener and Strategy:
PMax Explorer STRATEGY & SCREENERProfit Maximizer - PMax Explorer STRATEGY & SCREENER screens the BUY and SELL signals (trend reversals) for 20 user defined different tickers in Tradingview charts.
Simply input the name of the ticker in Tradingview that you want to screen.
Terminology explanation:
Confirmed Reversal: PMax reversal that happened in the last bar and cannot be repainted.
Potential Reversal: PMax reversal that might happen in the current bar but can also not happen depending upon the timeframe closing price.
Downtrend: Tickers that are currently in the sell zone
Uptrend: Tickers that are currently in the buy zone
Screener has also got a built in PMax indicator which users can confirm the reversals on graphs.
Screener explores the 20 tickers in current graph's time frame and also in desired parameters of the SuperTrend indicator.
Also you can optimize the parameters manually with the built in STRATEGY version.
PMax indicator :
Profit Maximizer - PMax is a brand new indicator developed by me.
It's a combination of two trailing stop loss indicators;
One is Anıl Özekşi's MOST (Moving Stop Loss) Indicator
and the other one is well known ATR based SuperTrend
Profit Maximizer - PMax tries to solve this problem. PMax combines the powerful sides of MOST (Moving Average Trend Changer) and SuperTrend (ATR price detection) in one indicator.
Backtest and optimization results of PMax are far better when compared to its ancestors MOST and SuperTrend. It reduces the number of false signals in sideways and give more reliable trade signals.
PMax is easy to determine the trend and can be used in any type of markets and instruments. It does not repaint.
The first parameter in the PMax indicator set by the three parameters is the period/length of ATR.
The second Parameter is the Multiplier of ATR which would be useful to set the value of distance from the built in Moving Average.
I personally think the most important parameter is the Moving Average Length and type.
PMax will be much sensitive to trend movements if Moving Average Length is smaller. And vice versa, will be less sensitive when it is longer.
As the period increases it will become less sensitive to little trends and price actions.
In this way, your choice of period, will be closely related to which of the sort of trends you are interested in.
We are under the effect of the uptrend in cases where the Moving Average is above PMax;
conversely under the influence of a downward trend, when the Moving Average is below PMax.
Built in Moving Average type defaultly set as EMA but users can choose from 8 different Moving Average types like:
SMA : Simple Moving Average
EMA : Exponential Movin Average
WMA : Weighted Moving Average
TMA : Triangular Moving Average
VAR : Variable Index Dynamic Moving Average aka VIDYA
WWMA : Welles Wilder's Moving Average
ZLEMA : Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
TSF : True Strength Force
Tip: In sideways VAR would be a good choice
You can use PMax default alarms and Buy Sell signals like:
1-
BUY when Moving Average crosses above PMax
SELL when Moving Average crosses under PMax
2-
BUY when prices jumps over PMax line.
SELL when prices go under PMax line.
McGinley Dynamic debugged🔍 McGinley Dynamic Debugged (Adaptive Moving Average)
This indicator plots the McGinley Dynamic, a mathematically adaptive moving average designed to reduce lag and better track price action during both trends and consolidations.
✅ Key Features:
Adaptive smoothing: The McGinley Dynamic adjusts itself based on the speed of price changes.
Lag reduction: Compared to traditional moving averages like EMA or SMA, McGinley provides smoother yet responsive tracking.
Stability fix: This version includes a robust fix for rare recursive calculation issues, particularly on low-priced historical assets (e.g., Wipro pre-2000).
⚙️ What’s Different in This Debugged Version?
Implements manual clamping on the source / previous value ratio to prevent mathematical spikes that could cause flattening or distortion in the plotted line.
Ensures more stable behavior across all instruments and timeframes, especially those with historically low price points or volatile early data.
💡 Use Case:
Ideal for:
Trend confirmation
Entry filtering
Adaptive support/resistance visualization
Improving signal precision in low-volatility or high-noise environments
⚠️ Notes:
Works best when combined with volume filters or other trend indicators for validation.
This version is optimized for visual use—for signal generation, consider pairing it with additional logic or thresholds.

SPX Iron Fly Session TrackerOverview
This indicator provides visual tracking for iron fly option structures designed for SPX 0-day-to-expiration (0DTE) intraday trading. It implements a two-phase position management system that adapts to different market conditions throughout the trading day.
This is a visualization and tracking tool only. It does not execute trades, access real options data, or calculate actual profit and loss. All displayed positions are theoretical representations based on underlying price movement.
Strategy Goal and Context
The Core Objective:
The strategy aims to have SPX price expire within your iron fly positions at end of day. When price expires inside a fly's profit zone (between the wings), that position captures maximum premium. The challenge is that price moves throughout the day, so static positioning rarely succeeds.
The Solution: Active Management
Rather than setting positions and hoping price cooperates, this approach continuously manages and repositions flies to keep price centered within your profit zones. As SPX drifts during the trading session, you add new flies at current price levels and close flies that price has moved away from.
The Goal: Multiple Profitable Expirations
By session end, you want as many flies as possible to have price expire within their center zones. This requires:
Adding new flies as price moves away from existing positions
Closing flies when price crosses beyond their optimal range
Building layered coverage in the afternoon to increase probability of capture
Adapting wing widths to time of day and volatility
The Reality: Capital and Time Intensive
This is not a passive strategy. Successful implementation requires:
Substantial capital (each fly requires margin, multiple flies compound this)
Active monitoring throughout trading sessions
Quick decision-making as positions trigger
Multiple position adjustments per session
Disciplined adherence to management rules
How This Indicator Helps:
For backtesting:
Use replay mode to study how positions would have managed on historical sessions
Test different parameter combinations to find optimal settings
Observe position behavior during various market conditions
Understand timing and frequency of position adds and closes
Validate whether your capital can support the required position count
For live session support:
Real-time visual tracking shows current position coverage
Alerts notify you immediately when new positions should be added
Position closure alerts help you manage exits promptly
Reference strike tracking shows where you're measuring movement from
History table provides audit trail of all position activity
The indicator handles the complex tracking and rule application, allowing you to focus on execution and risk management.
Key Use Cases
1. Replay Mode - Backtest and Study
Use TradingView's replay feature to validate the strategy on historical sessions:
Step through past SPX sessions bar-by-bar
See exactly when positions would have opened and closed
Count how many flies would have expired profitably
Analyze different parameter settings on the same historical data
Study position behavior during trending vs ranging conditions
Calculate approximate capital requirements for your setup
Refine your parameters before risking real capital
2. Live Session Alerts
Set up real-time notifications for active trading sessions:
Get alerted immediately when new positions trigger
Receive notifications when positions close
Alerts include strike level, wing width, and closure reason
Works on mobile, desktop, email, or webhook
Never miss a position signal during active trading
Maintain awareness even when away from screens briefly
3. Fully Customizable Parameters
Adapt every aspect to your risk tolerance and capital:
Adjust trigger distances for more or fewer position adds
Modify wing widths for different volatility environments
Change session timing to match your trading schedule
Set maximum concurrent positions to your capital limits
Fine-tune spacing to match available strike increments
Iron Fly Structure
An iron fly is a neutral options strategy with four legs:
- Short 1 ATM Call
- Short 1 ATM Put
- Long 1 OTM Call (upper wing protection)
- Long 1 OTM Put (lower wing protection)
The structure creates a defined risk zone. Maximum profit occurs when price expires at the center strike. Loss increases as price moves toward the wings (breakeven points). Maximum loss is defined and occurs beyond the wings.
Expiration Goal:
You want SPX to close inside the fly's wings. If SPX expires at the strike, you capture maximum premium. If SPX expires between the strike and either wing, you still profit (reduced). If SPX expires beyond the wings, you realize a loss (but it's defined and limited by the wings).
Two-Phase Management System
The indicator tracks positions across two distinct trading phases with different management rules:
Phase 1: TWO_GLASS - Morning Session (Default 10am-1pm ET)
Conservative positioning with active repositioning:
- Trigger new positions when price moves 7.5 points from reference strike (configurable)
- Maintain maximum 2 concurrent positions (configurable)
- 10-point spacing between position strikes (configurable)
- 40-point wing width (configurable)
- Exit rule: When two positions are active and price crosses to one strike level, close the OTHER position
This phase uses a "follow the price" approach. You're not trying to stack multiple positions yet - you're maintaining one or two flies centered on wherever price currently is. As price drifts, you add a new fly at the current level and close the old one when price moves too far away.
Phase 2: THREE_GLASS - Afternoon Session (Default 1pm-4pm ET)
Accumulation mode with layered coverage:
- Trigger new positions every 2.5 points of price movement (configurable)
- Maintain maximum 6 concurrent positions (configurable)
- 5-point spacing between strikes (configurable)
- 20-point wings early, reducing to 10 points after 3pm (configurable)
- Exit rule: Positions only close when price reaches wing extremes
This phase builds a stacked profit zone. Instead of swapping positions, you accumulate multiple flies as price moves. The goal is to have several flies active at expiration, creating a wider net to capture price. Tighter spacing and more frequent triggers create this layered coverage.
Why Two Different Phases?
Morning (Phase 1):
Earlier in the day, price has more time to move substantially. Maintaining many concurrent positions is riskier because price could trend and hit multiple wings. The strategy uses selective positioning with wider wings and active replacement.
Afternoon (Phase 2):
Closer to expiration, price movements typically compress. Time for large moves decreases. The strategy shifts to accumulation, building a net of positions to increase probability that final expiration price falls within at least one (ideally several) of your flies. Tighter wings and more positions become appropriate.
Exit Mechanisms
Strike Cross Exit (Phase 1 Only)
When two positions are active, if price moves to or beyond one position's strike level, the OTHER position closes. This keeps your coverage centered on current price action rather than maintaining positions price has moved away from.
Example: Flies at 5900 and 5910 are open. Price moves to 5910. The fly at 5900 closes because price has moved to the 5910 level. You're now positioned at current price (5910) rather than maintaining coverage at old price (5900).
Wing Extreme Exit (Both Phases)
Any position closes immediately when price touches its upper or lower wing boundary. This represents the breakeven/maximum loss point, so the position is closed to prevent further deterioration.
Dynamic Wing Adjustment
Wing widths automatically adjust based on time of day:
- Phase 1 (Morning): 40 points (customizable)
- Phase 2 Early (1pm-3pm): 20 points (customizable)
- Phase 2 Late (3pm-4pm): 10 points (customizable)
This progressive tightening reflects decreasing price movement potential as expiration approaches. Wider wings earlier provide more protection when price could move substantially. Tighter wings later allow more precise positioning when price movements typically compress.
All values are fully adjustable to match your risk parameters and observed market volatility.

Gray boxes = Closed positions (historical reference)
Current SPX price line = Shows where price is relative to positions
Top-right table = Current session status, reference strike, open/closed counts
Bottom-right table = Complete position history with open/close timestamps
Alert System Details
The indicator generates detailed alert messages for position management:
Position Opened:
- Strike level where fly should be placed
- Wing width (±points from strike)
- Session phase (Phase 1 or Phase 2)
- Alert format example: "Iron Fly OPENED | Strike: 5900 | Wings: ±40 | Session: TWO_GLASS"
Position Closed:
- Strike level of fly being closed
- Closure reason (strike cross, wing extreme, etc.)
- Session phase
- Alert format example: "Iron Fly CLOSED | Strike: 5900 | Reason: Price crossed to lower fly | Session: TWO_GLASS"
Configure alerts once before market open, then receive automatic notifications as positions trigger throughout the trading session.
Parameter Optimization Suggestions
For Higher Volatility Environments:
- Increase trigger distances (e.g., Phase 1: 10-15 points, Phase 2: 3-5 points)
- Widen wing widths (e.g., Phase 1: 50-60 points, Phase 2: 25-30 points early, 15-20 late)
- Increase strike spacing to reduce position frequency
For Lower Volatility Environments:
- Decrease trigger distances (e.g., Phase 1: 5-7 points, Phase 2: 1.5-2 points)
- Tighten wing widths (e.g., Phase 1: 30-35 points, Phase 2: 15-18 points early, 8-10 late)
- Reduce strike spacing for more granular coverage
For Conservative Risk Management:
- Reduce maximum concurrent positions (Phase 1: 1, Phase 2: 3-4)
- Widen wing widths for more breathing room
- Increase bars before check to avoid whipsaws
- Use wider trigger distances to reduce position frequency
For Aggressive Positioning:
- Increase maximum concurrent positions (Phase 2: 8-10)
- Tighten trigger distances for more frequent adds
- Reduce bars before check for faster responses
- Use tighter spacing to create denser coverage
Capital Considerations:
Remember that each fly requires margin. If Phase 2 allows 6 concurrent flies and each requires $10,000 margin, you need $60,000 in available capital just for position requirements, plus additional cushion for adverse movement.
Use replay mode to count maximum concurrent positions that would have occurred on historical sessions with your parameters, then calculate total capital needed.
Practical Application
This tool provides visual guidance and management support. To implement the strategy:
Backtest thoroughly in replay mode first
Validate capital requirements for your parameter settings
Confirm you can actively monitor positions during trading hours
Use displayed positions as reference for manual order placement
Match indicator parameters to your actual option contracts
Account for real-world factors: commissions, slippage, bid-ask spreads, option availability
Implement proper position sizing based on available capital
Set up alerts before market open to catch all signals
Execute actual trades manually in your brokerage platform
Track actual results versus indicator expectations
Important Limitations
Theoretical tracking only - not an automated trading system
No access to real option prices, Greeks, or implied volatility
No profit/loss calculations or risk metrics
Does not account for time decay (theta), delta, gamma, vega changes
Assumes continuous price action - gaps or halts not handled
Designed for 0DTE SPX options - not suitable for other timeframes or instruments
Assumes option availability at all strike levels - may not reflect reality
Does not model actual option bid/ask spreads or liquidity
Assumes instant execution at desired strikes - slippage not considered
Historical replay shows theoretical behavior only - actual market conditions may differ
Does not adjust for changing implied volatility throughout session
Position count and timing may not match what's executable in real markets
Capital and Time Requirements
This strategy is resource-intensive:
Capital Requirements:
Each iron fly requires margin (varies by broker and strike width)
Multiple concurrent positions multiply capital needs
Example: 6 flies at $10,000 each = $60,000 minimum
Additional cushion needed for adverse movement
Pattern Day Trader rules may apply (requires $25,000 minimum)
Time Requirements:
Active monitoring during trading hours (typically 10am-4pm ET)
Quick response to position add/close signals
Multiple position adjustments per session possible
Cannot be passive or set-and-forget
Requires ability to place orders promptly when alerted
Use replay mode to understand the commitment level before attempting live implementation.
Risk Considerations
Iron fly trading involves substantial risk. This indicator provides visualization and management support only - it does not constitute financial advice or trading recommendations.
Options trading can result in total loss of capital. The indicator's theoretical positions do not reflect actual trading results. Backtest analysis and historical visualization do not guarantee similar future outcomes. Multiple concurrent positions multiply both profit potential and loss risk.
Always conduct independent research, understand all risks, validate capital requirements, and never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. Consider starting with paper trading to validate execution capability before risking real capital.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses price-based triggers only. It does not:
Connect to options data feeds
Calculate theoretical option values or Greeks
Execute trades automatically
Provide specific trading signals or recommendations
Account for option-specific factors (implied volatility, time decay, bid/ask spreads)
All displayed information represents theoretical position placement based solely on underlying SPX price movement and user-configured parameters. The tool helps visualize the management framework but requires the trader to handle all actual execution and risk management decisions.
This is an educational and analytical tool for understanding iron fly position management concepts. It requires active interpretation, backtesting validation, and manual implementation by the user.
ORB Breakout Strategy with VWAP and Volume FiltersOverview
This strategy implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology, a well-documented approach in trading literature that has been used by institutional and retail traders for decades. The strategy identifies the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session, then trades breakouts with defined risk management.
This implementation includes multiple customizable filters (VWAP, Volume, Candle Strength) that traders can enable, disable, and tune to find configurations that work for their specific markets and trading style.
How It Works
Opening Range Calculation
The strategy captures the high and low of the first N bars after the session open (default: 3 bars on a 5-minute chart = 15 minutes). These levels become the breakout triggers for the session.
Entry Logic
Long Entry: When a bar closes above the ORB High and all enabled filters pass
Short Entry: When a bar closes below the ORB Low and all enabled filters pass
Exit Logic
Take Profit: Configurable multiple of the ORB range (default: 1x = full range beyond breakout level)
Stop Loss: Opposite side of the ORB range
Breakeven: Optional stop adjustment to entry price when trade reaches configurable profit threshold
Session Close: All positions automatically closed at end of trading session
Configurable Filters
All filters can be independently enabled or disabled:
1. VWAP Filter
Requires price above/below session-anchored VWAP
Requires VWAP slope confirmation (configurable lookback and minimum slope)
Purpose: Align trades with intraday trend direction
2. Volume Filter
Requires minimum volume on the breakout bar
Purpose: Confirm institutional participation in the breakout
3. Candle Strength Filter
Requires close in upper/lower portion of the bar range
Purpose: Filter out weak breakouts with poor conviction

VIOP Scalping - OriginalVIOP Scalping – Original is a rule-based scalping strategy ported from an original C# logic set. It aims to trade only when trend direction, momentum, and trend strength align, then manages the position using fixed take-profit/stop-loss percentages with an optional trailing mechanism to protect gains during favorable moves.
This strategy is provided for educational and backtesting purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee profitability. Always test thoroughly before any live usage.
Core Concept
Follow the dominant WMA trend, confirm momentum with EMA separation, filter conditions with RSI + ADX, then exit using fixed TP/SL with trailing behavior after a defined profit threshold.
How the Strategy Works
Trend Direction is defined by WMA: above WMA = long bias, below WMA = short bias.
Momentum is measured via Fast EMA vs Slow EMA and the EMA difference.
Trend Strength is confirmed using ADX (must exceed a threshold).
RSI filters trades to avoid entering when momentum is likely overextended or weak.
A no-trade session blocks entries during a predefined time window (default 09:30–10:05).
Exit logic uses fixed percent TP/SL, with an optional trailing mechanism that activates after a profit threshold.
Inputs and Settings
Trend and Indicator Settings
Main Trend WMA: Determines directional bias (price above = long, price below = short).
Fast EMA / Slow EMA: Used to measure momentum and directional separation.
RSI Period: Filters entries based on RSI range constraints.
ADX Period: Measures trend strength (must exceed threshold to allow entries).
Threshold Settings
EMA Difference Threshold: Minimum EMA separation required to validate momentum.
ADX Threshold: Minimum ADX required to confirm trend strength.
RSI Long Ceiling: RSI must remain below this value for long entries.
RSI Short Floor: RSI must remain above this value for short entries.
Risk Management Settings
Take Profit %: Default TP distance in percent.
Strong Trend Take Profit %: Higher TP used when a “strong trend” condition is detected.
Stop Loss %: Fixed SL distance in percent.
Trailing Activation %: Profit threshold at which trailing starts.
Trailing Distance %: Trailing offset distance used once trailing is active.
Time Filter
No-Trade Hours: Default session is 09:30–10:05. During this window, the strategy does not open new trades.
Entry Logic
No-Trade Time Filter
If the current bar falls inside the no-trade session, entries are blocked.
Long Entry Conditions
Price is above the WMA trend line.
EMA difference is positive and greater than the EMA Difference Threshold.
EMA momentum is increasing (current EMA diff > previous EMA diff).
RSI is within the defined range (RSI > 48 and RSI < RSI Long Ceiling).
Close is higher than the previous close.
ADX is above the ADX Threshold.
Short Entry Conditions
Price is below the WMA trend line.
EMA difference is negative and lower than -EMA Difference Threshold.
Bearish momentum is increasing (current EMA diff < previous EMA diff).
RSI is within the defined range (RSI < 52 and RSI > RSI Short Floor).
Close is lower than the previous close.
ADX is above the ADX Threshold.
Strong Trend Logic (Dynamic TP Selection)
If price is far from the WMA (absolute distance > 20 points) AND EMA separation is strong (absolute EMA diff > 1.5 points), the strategy treats the environment as a strong trend.
In strong trend mode, the strategy uses “Strong Trend Take Profit %” instead of the default “Take Profit %”.
Exit Management (TP/SL + Trailing)
The strategy uses fixed percentage-based TP and SL levels.
Trailing logic is enabled via strategy.exit and activates only after price moves in profit by the defined Trailing Activation %.
Once activated, trailing follows price using the defined Trailing Distance % offset.
This is designed to secure partial gains during extended moves while still allowing room for continuation.
What You See on the Chart
WMA Trend Line (Main Trend Filter).
Fast EMA and Slow EMA (Momentum Confirmation).
Strategy entry/exit markers generated by TradingView.
Recommended Use
Scalping systems that rely on trend-following and momentum confirmation.
Markets where ADX filtering helps avoid choppy conditions.

Important Notes
The no-trade session depends on your chart/session settings. Ensure your symbol/session configuration matches your intended market hours.
Percent-based exits scale with price; results will vary across instruments and volatility regimes.
Always validate behavior using bar replay, forward testing, and realistic commission/slippage assumptions.
VIOP Scalping - ATR SNIPERVIOP Scalping – ATR SNIPER is a momentum-based scalping strategy designed to capture short, high-probability moves while keeping risk strictly defined using ATR-based stop-loss and fixed risk/reward targets. The strategy trades only when trend direction, momentum, and strength are aligned.
This script is provided for educational and testing purposes only. It does not guarantee profitability and must be used with proper risk management.
Core Idea
Trade in the direction of the dominant trend, confirm momentum acceleration, and manage risk using ATR-based dynamic stops and targets.
How the Strategy Works
The main trend is defined using a Weighted Moving Average (WMA).
Momentum is measured by the distance and direction between a fast EMA and a slow EMA.
Trend strength is confirmed using ADX.
RSI is used as a filter to avoid weak or overextended market conditions.
Entries are blocked during a predefined no-trade time window to avoid high-noise periods.
Long Entry Conditions
Fast EMA is above Slow EMA and the EMA difference is greater than the minimum threshold.
EMA momentum is increasing compared to the previous bar.
RSI is within the user-defined long range.
Current close is higher than the previous close.
ADX is above the minimum strength threshold.
Price is above the WMA trend line.
The current bar is not inside the no-trade session.
Short Entry Conditions

Bearish EMA momentum is increasing.
RSI is within the user-defined short range.
Current close is lower than the previous close.
ADX is above the minimum strength threshold.
Price is below the WMA trend line.
The current bar is not inside the no-trade session.
Risk Management – ATR Sniper Logic
Stop-loss distance is calculated as ATR multiplied by the ATR Multiplier.
Take-profit distance is calculated using the defined Risk/Reward ratio.
Stop-loss and take-profit levels are dynamically calculated per trade.
Only one position can be open at any given time.

Combined Advanced Trading BlueprintCombined Advanced Trading Blueprint
This all-in-one institutional trading suite integrates market structure, volume analysis, and automated target projection. It is designed to find high-probability "Blueprints" by combining PVSRA (Price, Volume, Storage, Resistance, and Support) with dynamic Fibonacci and ATR-based risk management.
🚀 Key Modules
1. Institutional Inflection Zones (Supply & Demand)
Identifies where major market participants are entering.
Supply & Demand: Automatically draws zones at key swing highs and lows.
IZ (Inflection Zones): Real-time labels marking the median of these zones.
BOS (Break of Structure): When a zone is breached, it transforms into a BOS line to signal trend continuation or reversal.
2. PVSRA & Vector Zones
The core of institutional volume analysis.
Climax Volume (Red/Green): Bars with volume >= 200% of average. These mark exhaustion or massive entry.
High Volume (Violet/Blue): Bars with volume >= 150% of average.
Automated Zones: The script draws boxes around these high-volume candles. Price returning to these zones often sees a sharp reaction.
3. Trader Daddy Intelligence
An automated layer for objective target setting.
Auto-Fibonacci: Dynamically calculates the current swing range and plots 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 (Golden), 0.786, and extensions.
Volume Gaps (FVG): Detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) where price moved too fast. These acts as "magnets" that the market usually returns to fill.
ATR Targets: Dynamic Take Profit (TP1, TP2, TP3) and Stop Loss (SL) lines that adjust based on current market volatility.
4. Confluence Ribbon System
A multi-layered moving average and channel system.
The Ribbon: Uses 8 EMA (Red), 21 EMA (White), 34 EMA (Blue), 50 SMA (Orange), and 200 SMA (Dark Orange).
Keltner Channels: Three standard deviation bands to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
RSI Triggers: A fast 2-period RSI detects "stretches" outside the Keltner bands for precise entry timing.
VWAP: Includes anchored VWAP for Session, Weekly, and Monthly trends.
🎨 Visual Guide & Color Legend
Price Targets (Trader Daddy)
Green Dashed Lines: Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3).
Red Solid Line: ATR-based Stop Loss.
Cyan/Blue Labels: Fibonacci retracement levels. The Blue level often acts as a major institutional target or "Take Profit" area in a trending market.
Market Zones
Cyan Boxes: Active Demand (Buy) zones.
Grey/White Boxes: Active Supply (Sell) zones.
Purple/Fuchsia Areas: Vector Zones (High institutional volume).
🛠 How to Trade the Blueprint
Locate the Zone: Wait for price to enter a Supply/Demand box or a Purple Vector Zone.
Check the Market State: Look at the top-right info label to see if the trend is Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral.
Wait for Confluence: Look for an 8/21 EMA crossover or an RSI "Circle" trigger near the Keltner bands.
Execute: Use the ATR-generated TP and SL lines to manage your risk automatically.
Anya1This script is a **Trend-Following Momentum Strategy** specifically designed for **Gold (XAUUSD)** but applicable to other assets. It combines an oscillator (to find entry points) with two moving averages (to ensure you are trading with the trend).
Here is a breakdown of how the logic works and how to read the signals on your chart.
---
### 1. The Strategy "Gears" (The Filters)
The script uses a "triple-filter" system. A signal is only generated when all three of these conditions click into place at the exact same time:
* **Gear 1: Momentum (Cipher Twister):** This oscillator looks for "turning points." It identifies when the market is exhausted.
* **Buy:** The momentum lines cross while **below the zero line** (recovering from oversold).
* **Sell:** The momentum lines cross while **above the zero line** (dropping from overbought).
* **Gear 2: Medium-Term Trend (MA 25):** The price must be on the "correct" side of the **Yellow Line**. This ensures that the immediate price action is moving in your favor.
* **Gear 3: Macro Trend (MA 150):** This is the final gatekeeper (the **White Line**). You are forbidden from buying if the price is below this line, and forbidden from selling if it is above. This keeps you on the right side of the "Big Picture."
---
### 2. How to Read the Signals
| Signal | Chart Visual | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **BUY** | **Green "BUY" Label** | Price is above the Yellow & White lines + Oscillator crossed below zero. |
| **SELL** | **Red "SELL" Label** | Price is below the Yellow & White lines + Oscillator crossed above zero. |
**Visual Confirmation:** The script will also highlight the background in **Lime** for a Buy and **Red** for a Sell to make it impossible to miss.
---
### 3. Risk Management (The Exit)
This version is built as a **Strategy**, meaning it has a built-in "Exit Plan" for every trade:
* **Stop Loss (SL):** 100 Pips ($10.00 move in Gold).
* **Take Profit (TP):** 120 Pips ($12.00 move in Gold).
When a trade is entered, TradingView will automatically track the price. If it hits your target, the trade closes in profit. If it hits your stop, it closes to protect your capital.
---
### 5. Best Use Cases
* **Trending Markets:** This script thrives when Gold is in a clear uptrend or downtrend.
* **Timeframes:** It is most effective on the **15-minute (15M)** or **1-hour (1H)** charts. Lower timeframes (like the 1M) may hit the Stop Loss too frequently due to market noise.
**Would you like me to add a "Trailing Stop" feature, so the strategy locks in profits automatically as the price moves in your favor?**
Algomist - Adaptive Velocity Cross🚀 Algomist: The Adaptive Velocity Cross (AVC)
Automate Your Edge
This strategy transcends the limitations of classic Moving Average (MA) crossovers. The Adaptive Velocity Cross (AVC) is a state-of-the-art trend-following system designed for automated execution, filtering out low-probability whipsaws and prioritizing high-momentum breakouts in volatile markets.
It's not just a signal generator; it's a fully automated, risk-managed trading plan that delivers structured trade signals directly to your Algomist account.
🔥 Key Features & Technology
Adaptive Hull Moving Averages (HMA): Utilizes the Hull MA to significantly reduce lag compared to standard EMAs and SMAs. The faster and slower HMAs provide a highly responsive gauge of short-term and medium-term trend direction.
Multi-Layer Volatility Filtering: Trades are strictly prohibited during flat, low-volatility market conditions.
Current Timeframe Filter (ATRMinFilter): Ensures trades only fire when current market momentum is strong enough to carry the trend.
Higher Timeframe Filter: Checks the ATR on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H) to confirm the structural trend strength, preventing entries during tight squeezes.
Visual Trend Velocity: The space between the Fast (Blue) and Slow (Pink) HMAs is colored and filled, providing an immediate visual cue for trend direction and strength (width of the band).
Asymmetric Risk Management: Uses the dynamic Average True Range (ATR) to calculate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, ensuring risk and reward are proportional to current market volatility.
⚙️ How It Works (The Logic)
The AVC only executes a trade when all three high-conviction criteria are met:
Trend Signal: The Fast $\text{HMA}$ crosses the Slow $\text{HMA}$ (Crossover).
Volatile Market Confirmation: The market must be sufficiently volatile on both the current timeframe and the higher structural timeframe ($\text{ATR}$ filters passed).
Risk Management: A defined $\text{SL}$ (Stop Loss) and $\text{TP}$ (Take Profit) are calculated based on the current market $\text{ATR}$ to manage the position before entry.
🤖 Automation Ready
The strategy is built with automation as the priority. Upon a confirmed entry, the script sends a cleanly formatted JSON string via a TradingView Webhook alert to Algomist. Create your account and get your own web hook @ www.algomist.app

3. Strategy Overview
What is the Supertrend Advance Strategy?
The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals.
In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point.
Strategy Goals and Objectives:
1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor.
2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making.
3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability.
4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system.
Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy:
1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices.
2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders.
3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements.
4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters.
5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits.
It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades.
4. Input Settings
Understanding and correctly configuring input settings is crucial for optimizing the Supertrend Advance Strategy for any specific market or asset. These settings, when tweaked correctly, can drastically impact the strategy's performance.
Grouping Inputs:
Before diving into individual input settings, it's important to group similar inputs. Grouping can simplify the user interface, making it easier to adjust settings related to a specific function or indicator.
Strategy Choice:
This input allows traders to select from various strategies that incorporate the Supertrend indicator. Options might include "Supertrend with RSI," "Supertrend with MACD," etc. By choosing a strategy, the associated input settings for that strategy become available.
Supertrend Settings:
1. Multiplier: Typically, a default value of 3 is used. This multiplier is used in the ATR calculation. Increasing it makes the Supertrend line further from prices, while decreasing it brings the line closer.
2. Period: The number of bars used in the ATR calculation. A common default is 7.
EMA Settings (Exponential Moving Average):
1. Period: Defines the number of previous bars used to calculate the EMA. Common periods are 9, 21, 50, and 200.
2. Source: Allows traders to choose which price (Open, Close, High, Low) to use in the EMA calculation.
RSI Settings (Relative Strength Index):
1. Length: Determines how many periods are used for RSI calculation. The standard setting is 14.
2. Overbought Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered overbought, typically set at 70.
3. Oversold Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered oversold, often at 30.
MACD Settings (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
1. Short Period: The shorter EMA, usually set to 12.
2. Long Period: The longer EMA, commonly set to 26.
3. Signal Period: Defines the EMA of the MACD line, typically set at 9.
CCI Settings (Commodity Channel Index):
1. Period: The number of bars used in the CCI calculation, often set to 20.
2. Overbought Level: Typically set at +100, denoting overbought conditions.
3. Oversold Level: Usually set at -100, indicating oversold conditions.
SL/TP Settings (Stop Loss/Take Profit):
1. SL Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the stop loss.
2. TP Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the take profit.
Filtering Conditions:
This section allows traders to set conditions to filter out certain signals. For example, one might only want to take buy signals when the RSI is below 30, ensuring they buy during oversold conditions.
Trade Direction and Backtest Period:
1. Trade Direction: Allows traders to specify whether they want to take long trades, short trades, or both.
2. Backtest Period: Specifies the time range for backtesting the strategy. Traders can choose from options like 'Last 6 months,' 'Last 1 year,' etc.
It's essential to remember that while default settings are provided for many of these tools, optimal settings can vary based on the market, timeframe, and trading style. Always backtest new settings on historical data to gauge their potential efficacy.
5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.

Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.
Backtesting and Default Settings
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
