Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.

Long Term Profitable Swing | AbbasA Story of a Profitable Swing Trading Strategy
Imagine you're sailing across the ocean, looking for the perfect wave to ride. Swing trading is quite similar—you're navigating the stock market, searching for the ideal moments to enter and exit trades. This strategy, created by Abbas, helps you find those waves and ride them effectively to profitable outcomes.
🌊 Finding the Perfect Wave (Entry)
Our journey begins with two simple signs that tell us a great trading opportunity is forming:
- Moving Averages: We use two lines that follow price trends—the faster one (EMA 16) reacts quickly to recent price moves, and the slower one (EMA 30) gives us a longer-term perspective. When the faster line crosses above the slower line, it's like a clear signal saying, "Hey! The wave is rising, and prices might move higher!"
- RSI Momentum: Next, we check a tool called the RSI, which measures momentum (how strongly prices are moving). If the RSI number is above 50, it means there's enough strength behind this rising wave to carry us forward.
When both signals appear together, that's our green light. It's time to jump on our surfboard and start riding this promising wave.
⚓ Safely Riding the Wave (Risk Management)
While we're riding this wave, we want to ensure we're safe from sudden surprises. To do this, we use something called the Average True Range (ATR), which measures how volatile (or bumpy) the price movements are:
- Stop-Loss: To avoid falling too hard, we set a safety line (stop-loss) 8 times the ATR below our entry price. This helps ensure we exit if the wave suddenly turns against us, protecting us from heavy losses.
- Take Profit: We also set a goal to exit the trade at 11 times the ATR above our entry. This way, we capture significant profits when the wave reaches a nice high point.
🌟 Multiple Rides, Bigger Adventures
This strategy allows us to take multiple positions simultaneously—like riding several waves at once, up to 5. Each trade we make uses only 10% of our trading capital, keeping risks manageable and giving us multiple opportunities to win big.
🗺️ Easy to Follow Settings
Here are the basic settings we use:
- Fast EMA**: 16
- Slow EMA**: 30
- RSI Length**: 9
- RSI Threshold**: 50
- ATR Length**: 21
- ATR Stop-Loss Multiplier**: 8
- ATR Take-Profit Multiplier**: 11
These settings are flexible—you can adjust them to better suit different markets or your personal trading style.
🎉 Riding the Waves of Success
This simple yet powerful swing trading approach helps you confidently enter trades, clearly know when to exit, and effectively manage your risk. It’s a reliable way to ride market waves, capture profits, and minimize losses.
Happy trading, and may you find many profitable waves to ride! 🌊✨
Please test, and take into account that it depends on taking multiple longs within the swing, and you only get to invest 25/30% of your equity.
Heiken Ashi Supertrend ATR-SL StrategyThis indicator combines Heikin Ashi candle pattern analysis with Supertrend to generate high-probability trading signals with built-in risk management. It identifies potential entries and exits based on specific Heikin Ashi candlestick formations while providing automated ATR-based stop loss management.
Trading Logic:
The system generates long signals when a green Heikin Ashi candle forms with no bottom wick (indicating strong bullish momentum). Short signals appear when a red Heikin Ashi candle forms with no top wick (showing strong bearish momentum). The absence of wicks on these candles signals a high-conviction market move in the respective direction.
Exit signals are triggered when:
1. An opposite pattern forms (red candle with no top wick exits longs; green candle with no bottom wick exits shorts)
2. The ATR-based stop loss is hit
3. The break-even stop is activated and then hit
Technical Approach:
- Select Heiken Ashi Canldes on your Trading View chart. Entried are based on HA prices.
- Supertrend and ATR-based stop losses use real price data (not HA values) for trend determination
- ATR-based stop losses automatically adjust to market volatility
- Break-even functionality moves the stop to entry price once price moves a specified ATR multiple in your favor
Risk Management:
- Default starting capital: 1000 units
- Default risk per trade: 10% of equity (customizable in strategy settings)
- Hard Stop Loss: Set ATR multiplier (default: 2.0) for automatic stop placement
- Break Even: Configure ATR threshold (default: 1.0) to activate break-even stops
- Appropriate position sizing relative to equity and stop distance
Customization Options:
- Supertrend Settings:
- Enable/disable Supertrend filtering (trade only in confirmed trend direction)
- Adjust Factor (default: 3.0) to change sensitivity
- Modify ATR Period (default: 10) to adapt to different timeframes
Visual Elements:
- Green triangles for long entries, blue triangles for short entries
- X-marks for exits and stop loss hits
- Color-coded position background (green for long, blue for short)
- Clearly visible stop loss lines (red for hard stop, white for break-even)
- Comprehensive position information label with entry price and stop details
Implementation Notes:
The indicator tracks positions internally and maintains state across bars to properly manage stop levels. All calculations use confirmed bars only, with no repainting or lookahead bias. The system is designed for swing trading on timeframes from 1-hour and above, where Heikin Ashi patterns tend to be more reliable.
This indicator is best suited for traders looking to combine the pattern recognition strengths of Heikin Ashi candles with the trend-following capabilities of Supertrend, all while maintaining disciplined risk management through automated stops.
AO Smart Scalper – 5M Dynamic SL Edition📈 AO Signals with Fixed and Dynamic SL – Optimized for 5-Minute Charts 📉
This indicator is built for 5-minute timeframe trading, combining powerful momentum signals from the Awesome Oscillator (AO) with both Fixed and Dynamic Stop Loss (SL) levels to enhance trade management and risk control.
✅ Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator generates clear BUY and SELL signals based on the AO crossing above or below the zero line, helping traders capture momentum shifts early.
🛑 Fixed Stop Loss:
Each trade signal comes with a Fixed SL, calculated based on the high (for shorts) or low (for longs) of the previous candle, with a customizable percentage offset. This SL is plotted with a red line, providing a clear initial risk level.
⚡ Dynamic Stop Loss: Continuous Presence, Strategic Use:
A secondary Dynamic SL line is plotted, which is continuously present on the chart. This dynamic level responds to market conditions and can serve as a trailing stop or key decision point.
💡 Recommended Use: It is recommended to actively start using the Dynamic SL once the trade has moved into profit. This allows protecting obtained profits and minimizing the risk of losses in case of a market reversal.
🛡️ Enhanced Dynamic Stop-Loss Strategy:
🔒 Initial Protection: Utilize the Fixed SL as the initial stop-loss, placed below relevant lows (for longs) or above relevant highs (for shorts), or as provided by the fixed SL indicator.
🛤️ Dynamic Tracking:
🟢 Long Trades: Once in profit, the Dynamic SL will dynamically adjust, moving upwards as higher lows are formed, effectively trailing the price and securing profits.
🔴 Short Trades: Conversely, in short trades, once in profit, the Dynamic SL will move downwards as lower highs are formed, protecting gains.
🔄 Alternatively the dynamic stop loss will follow the dynamic SL line provided by the indicator.
🚪 Exiting Trades: When the price crosses below the Dynamic SL line in a LONG trade, or above it in a SHORT trade, the recommended action is to exit the trade.
↩️ Re-entry Consideration: You may consider re-entering only if the price clearly returns above the Dynamic SL (for longs) or below it (for shorts).
⚠️ IMPORTANT - 5-Minute Strategy Guidance ⏱️
This tool is specifically optimized for the 5-minute timeframe. This approach helps filter out weak setups and maintain discipline in volatile market conditions.
✨ Additional Features:
👁️ Visual and editable SL levels
📊 200-period SMA for trend context
💻 Simple and effective interface for intraday trading setups
🎯 Ideal for traders seeking a clean, rule-based system that combines momentum entry signals with layered stop loss protection.
🔑 Key Changes:
It was emphasized that the Dynamic SL is always present, but its active use is recommended once the trade is in profit.
It was clarified the use of the Fixed SL, giving the option to use the one provided by the indicator, or to place it according to the price action.

When opening, select any point on the chart. It will not affect anything until you turn on Manual Start mode (more on this below).
The chart will immediately show the best results of the default Auto mode. You can switch Part's to try to find even better results in the table.
Now you can display any result from the table on the chart by entering its ID in the settings.
Repeat steps 3-4 until you determine which type of Stop Loss you like best. Then set it in the settings instead of Auto mode.
* Example: I flipped through 14 parts before I liked the first result and entered its ID so I could visually evaluate it on the chart.
Then select the stop loss type, choose it in place of Auto mode and repeat steps 3-4 or immediately follow the recommendations of the algorithm.
Now the Genetic Algorithm at the bottom right will prompt you to enter the Parameters you need to search for and select even better results.
Parameters must be entered All at once before they are updated. Enter recommendations strictly in fields with the same names.
Repeat steps 5-6 until there are approximately 10 Part's left or as you like. And after that, easily pour through the remaining Parts and select the best parameters.
━ Example of the finished result.
━ Example of use with Takes
You can also test at the same time along with Take Profit. In this example, I simply enabled Risk/Reward mode and immediately specified in the TP field Maximum RR, Minimum RR and Step. So in this example I can test (3-1) / 0.1 = 20 Takes of different sizes. There are additional tips in the settings.

⭕️ How it Works
Hypothesis of Uniform Distribution of Rare Elements After Mixing.
'This hypothesis states that if an array of N elements contains K valid elements, then after mixing, these valid elements will be approximately uniformly distributed.'
'This means that in a random sample of k elements, the proportion of valid elements should closely match their proportion in the original array, with some random variation.'
'According to the central limit theorem, repeated sampling will result in an average count of valid elements following a normal distribution.'
'This supports the assumption that the valid elements are evenly spread across the array.'
'To test this hypothesis, we can conduct an experiment:'
'Create an array of 1,000,000 elements.'
'Select 1,000 random elements (1%) for validation.'
'Shuffle the array and divide it into groups of 1,000 elements.'
'If the hypothesis holds, each group should contain, on average, 1~ valid element, with minor variations.'
* I'd like to attach more details to My hypothesis but it won't be very relevant here. Since this is a whole separate topic, I will leave the minimum part for understanding the engine.
Practical Application
To apply this hypothesis, I needed a way to generate and thoroughly mix numerous possible combinations. Within Pine, generating over 100,000 combinations presents significant challenges, and storing millions of combinations requires excessive resources.
I developed an efficient mechanism that generates combinations in random order to address these limitations. While conventional methods often produce duplicates or require generating a complete list first, my approach guarantees that the first 10% of possible combinations are both unique and well-distributed. Based on my hypothesis, this sampling is sufficient to determine optimal testing parameters.
Most generators and randomizers fail to accommodate both my hypothesis and Pine's constraints. My solution utilizes a simple Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) for pseudo-randomization, enhanced with prime numbers to increase entropy during generation. I pre-generate the entire parameter range and then apply systematic mixing. This approach, combined with a hybrid combinatorial array-filling technique with linear distribution, delivers excellent generation quality.
My engine can efficiently generate and verify 300 unique combinations per batch. Based on the above, to determine optimal values, only 10-20 Parts need to be manually scrolled through to find the appropriate value or range, eliminating the need for exhaustive testing of millions of parameter combinations.
For the Score statistic I applied all the same, generated a range of Weights, distributed them randomly for each type of statistic to avoid manual distribution.
Score ━ based on Trade, Profit, WinRate, Profit Factor, Drawdown, Sharpe & Sortino & Omega & Calmar Ratio.
⭕️ Notes
For attentive users, a little tricks :)
To save time, switch parts every 3 seconds without waiting for it to load. After 10-20 parts, stop and wait for loading. If the pause is correct, you can switch between the rest of the parts without loading, as they will be cached. This used to work without having to wait for a pause, but now it does slower. This will save a lot of time if you are going to do a deeper backtest.
Sometimes you'll get the error “The scripts take too long to execute.”
For a quick fix you just need to switch the TF or Ticker back and forth and most likely everything will load.
The error appears because of problems on the side of the site because the engine is very heavy. It can also appear if you set too long a period for testing in BackWin or use a heavy indicator for testing.
Manual Start - Allow you to Start you Result from any point. Which in turn can help you choose a good stop-stick for your real position.
* It took me half a year from idea to current realization. This seems to be one of the few ways to build something automatic in backtest format and in this particular Pine environment. There are already better projects in other languages, and they are created much easier and faster because there are no limitations except for personal PC. If you see solutions to improve this system I would be glad if you share the code. At the moment I am tired and will continue him not soon.
Also You can use my previosly big Backtest project with more manual settings(updated soon)
Smart MA Crossover BacktesterSmart MA Crossover Backtester - Strategy Overview
Strategy Name: Smart MA Crossover Backtester
Published on: TradingView
Applicable Markets: Works well on crypto (tested profitably on ETH)
Strategy Concept
The Smart MA Crossover Backtester is an improved Moving Average (MA) crossover strategy that incorporates a trend filter and an ATR-based stop loss & take profit mechanism for better risk management. It aims to capture trends efficiently while reducing false signals by only trading in the direction of the long-term trend.
Core Components & Logic
Moving Averages (MA) for Entry Signals
Fast Moving Average (9-period SMA)
Slow Moving Average (21-period SMA)
A trade signal is generated when the fast MA crosses the slow MA.
Trend Filter (200-period SMA)
Only enters long positions if price is above the 200-period SMA (bullish trend).
Only enters short positions if price is below the 200-period SMA (bearish trend).
This helps in avoiding counter-trend trades, reducing whipsaws.
ATR-Based Stop Loss & Take Profit
Uses the Average True Range (ATR) with a multiplier of 2 to calculate stop loss.
Risk-Reward Ratio = 1:2 (Take profit is set at 2x ATR).
This ensures dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on market volatility.
Trading Rules
✅ Long Entry (Buy Signal):
Fast MA (9) crosses above Slow MA (21)
Price is above the 200 MA (bullish trend filter active)
Stop Loss: Below entry price by 2× ATR
Take Profit: Above entry price by 4× ATR
✅ Short Entry (Sell Signal):
Fast MA (9) crosses below Slow MA (21)
Price is below the 200 MA (bearish trend filter active)
Stop Loss: Above entry price by 2× ATR
Take Profit: Below entry price by 4× ATR
Why This Strategy Works Well for Crypto (ETH)?
🔹 Crypto markets are highly volatile – ATR-based stop loss adapts dynamically to market conditions.
🔹 Long-term trend filter (200 MA) ensures trading in the dominant direction, reducing false signals.
🔹 Risk-reward ratio of 1:2 allows for profitable trades even with a lower win rate.
This strategy has been tested on Ethereum (ETH) and has shown profitable performance, making it a strong choice for crypto traders looking for trend-following setups with solid risk management. 🚀

Triple EMA Crossover StrategyTriple EMA Crossover Strategy
Overview
The Triple EMA Crossover Strategy is a trend-following trading system that utilizes three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. This strategy is based on the principle that when shorter-term prices cross above longer-term prices, it can indicate a bullish trend, and conversely when they cross below, it can signal a bearish trend.
Components
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA: A fast-moving average that reacts quickly to price changes (commonly set to 9 periods).
Medium EMA: A medium-term average that smooths out price data and helps confirm trends (commonly set to 21 periods).
Long EMA: A slow-moving average that helps identify the overall trend direction (commonly set to 55 periods).
Trading Signals:
Buy Signal: A long entry is triggered when:
The Short EMA (9) crosses above the Medium EMA (21).
The Medium EMA (21) is above the Long EMA (55).
Sell Signal: A short entry is signaled when:
The Short EMA (9) crosses below the Medium EMA (21).
The Medium EMA (21) is below the Long EMA (55).
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Stop Loss: Implement a predefined percentage or ATR-based stop loss to limit potential losses.
Take Profit: Set a target based on a risk-to-reward ratio that reflects your trading strategy's goals.
Advantages
Trend Identification: The EMA crossover system allows traders to identify the current trend dynamically, focusing on upward or downward price movements.
Simplicity: The strategy is straightforward, making it accessible for both new and experienced traders.
Flexibility: This method can be applied across multiple timeframes and asset classes, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Disadvantages
Lagging Indicator: Moving averages are lagging indicators, meaning signals may come later than the actual price movement, which can lead to missed opportunities.
Whipsaw Effect: In ranging markets, the strategy may produce false signals leading to potential losses.
ETH Signal 15m
This strategy uses the Supertrend indicator combined with RSI to generate buy and sell signals, with stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) conditions based on ATR (Average True Range). Below is a detailed explanation of each part:
1. General Information BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P
Strategy Name: "ETH Signal 15m"
Designed for use on the 15-minute time frame for the ETH pair.
Default capital allocation is 15% of total equity for each trade.
2. Backtest Period
start_time and end_time: Define the start and end time of the backtest period.
start_time = 2024-08-01: Start date of the backtest.
end_time = 2054-01-01: End date of the backtest.
The strategy will only run when the current time falls within this specified range.
3. Supertrend Indicator
Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that provides buy or sell signals based on the direction of price changes.
factor = 2.76: The multiplier used in the Supertrend calculation (increasing this value makes the Supertrend less sensitive to price movements).
atrPeriod = 12: Number of periods used to calculate ATR.
Output:
direction: Determines the buy/sell direction based on Supertrend.
If direction decreases, it signals a buy (Long).
If direction increases, it signals a sell (Short).
4. RSI Indicator
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator, often used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
rsiLength = 12: Number of periods used to calculate RSI.
rsiOverbought = 70: RSI level considered overbought.
rsiOversold = 30: RSI level considered oversold.
5. Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
Supertrend gives a buy signal (ta.change(direction) < 0).
RSI must be below the overbought level (rsi < rsiOverbought).
Short Entry:
Supertrend gives a sell signal (ta.change(direction) > 0).
RSI must be above the oversold level (rsi > rsiOversold).
The strategy will only execute trades if the current time is within the backtest period (in_date_range).
6. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Conditions
ATR (Average True Range) is used to calculate the distance for Stop Loss and Take Profit based on price volatility.
atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod): ATR is calculated using 12 periods.
Stop Loss and Take Profit are calculated as follows:
Long Trade:
Stop Loss: Set at close - 4 * atr (current price minus 4 times the ATR).
Take Profit: Set at close + 2 * atr (current price plus 2 times the ATR).
Short Trade:
Stop Loss: Set at close + 4 * atr (current price plus 4 times the ATR).
Take Profit: Set at close - 2.237 * atr (current price minus 2.237 times the ATR).
Summary:
This strategy enters a Long trade when the Supertrend indicates an upward trend and RSI is not in the overbought region. Conversely, a Short trade is entered when Supertrend signals a downtrend, and RSI is not oversold.
The trade is exited when the price reaches the Stop Loss or Take Profit levels, which are determined based on price volatility (ATR).

Fractal Breakout Trend Following StrategyOverview
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following Strategy is a trend-following system which utilizes the Willams Fractals and Alligator to execute the long trades on the fractal's breakouts which have a high probability to be the new uptrend phase beginning. This system also uses the normalized Average True Range indicator to filter trades after a large moves, because it's more likely to see the trend continuation after a consolidation period. Strategy can execute only long trades.
Unique Features
Trend and volatility filtering system: Strategy uses Williams Alligator to filter the counter-trend fractals breakouts and normalized Average True Range to avoid the trades after large moves, when volatility is high
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Flexible Risk Management: Users can choose the stop-loss percent (by default = 3%) for trades, but strategy also has the dynamic stop-loss level using down fractals.
Methodology
The strategy places stop order at the last valid fractal breakout level. Validity of this fractal is defined by the Williams Alligator indicator. If at the moment of time when price breaking the last fractal price is higher than Alligator's teeth line (8 period SMA shifted 5 bars in the future) this is a valid breakout. Moreover strategy has the additional volatility filtering system using normalized ATR. It calculates the average normalized ATR for last user-defined number of bars and if this value lower than the user-defined threshold value the long trade is executed.
When trade is opened, script places the stop loss at the price higher of two levels: user defined stop-loss from the position entry price or down fractal validation level. The down fractal is valid with the rule, opposite as the up fractal validation. Price shall break to the downside the last down fractal below the Willians Alligator's teeth line.
Strategy has no fixed take profit. Exit level changes with the down fractal validation level. If price is in strong uptrend trade is going to be active until last down fractal is not valid. Strategy closes trade when price hits the down fractal validation level.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined stop-loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 3% drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Williams Fractals to open long trade when price has broken the key resistance level to the upside. This resistance level is the last up fractal and is shall be broken above the Williams Alligator's teeth line to be qualified as the valid breakout according to this strategy. The Alligator filtering increases the probability to avoid the false breakouts against the current trend.
Moreover strategy has an additional filter using Average True Range(ATR) indicator. If average value of ATR for the last user-defined number of bars is lower than user-defined threshold strategy can open the long trade according to open trade condition above. The logic here is following: we want to open trades after period of price consolidation inside the range because before and after a big move price is more likely to be in sideways, but we need a trend move to have a profit.
Another one important feature is how the exit condition is defined. On the one hand, strategy has the user-defined stop-loss (3% below the entry price by default). It's made to give users the opportunity to restrict their losses according to their risk-tolerance. On the other hand, strategy utilizes the dynamic exit level which is defined by down fractal activation. If we assume the breaking up fractal is the beginning of the uptrend, breaking down fractal can be the start of downtrend phase. We don't want to be in long trade if there is a high probability of reversal to the downside. This approach helps to not keep open trade if trend is not developing and hold it if price continues going up.

Liquidity Trap Strategy - ATR OptimizedLiquidity Trap Strategy – Optimized Version
1. Overview
The Liquidity Trap Strategy is a high-probability price action trading system designed to exploit “trapped buyers or sellers” around key levels from the previous trading day.
Markets: Works on any market (Forex, Crypto, Futures, Indices, Stocks)
Timeframes: Designed for 15-minute (15m) and 1-hour (1H) charts
Trading Style: “Hunter” style — trades may not happen every day, but setups are high-probability
Trade Frequency: Only first trade per day is taken for simplicity and high quality
2. Key Components
a) Daily Levels
Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) are automatically calculated using the prior day’s bar.
These are drawn as anchored horizontal lines, extending to the current day.
PDH/PDL act as key support/resistance zones — areas where liquidity is often trapped.
b) Trap Concept
The strategy is based on the “liquidity trap” principle:
Buyer Trap (Short Entry):
Price breaks above the previous day high (PDH) → buyers think price will continue higher.
Price reverses immediately below PDH, trapping aggressive buyers above the key level.
This creates selling pressure, giving an opportunity to enter short.
Seller Trap (Long Entry):
Price breaks below the previous day low (PDL) → sellers think price will continue lower.
Price reverses immediately above PDL, trapping aggressive sellers below the key level.
This creates buying pressure, giving an opportunity to enter long.
The key idea: trapped traders cause the market to move in the opposite direction of the breakout, creating high-probability moves.
c) Trade Execution Logic
Buyer Trap / Short Entry:
Condition: high > PDH AND close < PDH AND no trade taken yet today
Entry: Short at the close of the trap candle
Stop Loss: ATR-based above the trap candle high to avoid minor wick stops
Take Profit: 2:1 Risk-to-Reward ratio
Seller Trap / Long Entry:
Condition: low < PDL AND close > PDL AND no trade taken yet today
Entry: Long at the close of the trap candle
Stop Loss: ATR-based below the trap candle low
Take Profit: 2:1 Risk-to-Reward ratio
Only the first trap trade of the day is allowed to avoid overtrading.
d) Risk Management
Stop-Loss (SL):
ATR-based to account for market volatility
Ensures the trade survives minor wick sweeps without being stopped out prematurely
Take-Profit (TP):
Fixed 2:1 R:R relative to SL
Ensures each winning trade outweighs potential losses
Trade Frequency:
Only first trade per day is allowed, making it highly selective and reducing noise
3. Visual Features
PDH/PDL Lines: Anchored to previous day, extend into current day, color-coded:
PDH → Green
PDL → Red
Trade Labels: Placed on the trap candle:
Short → Red label “Short”
Long → Green label “Long”
The visual markers make it easy to identify exactly where the trap occurred and the trade was triggered.
4. How the Strategy Works – Step by Step
Example for Short (Buyer Trap):
Market opens, PDH/PDL from yesterday are drawn.
Price spikes above PDH → some buyers enter expecting breakout continuation.
Price immediately closes back below PDH, trapping buyers.
The strategy enters short at the close of the reversal candle.
SL: placed above the trap candle using ATR to give room
TP: calculated as 2x the risk (distance from entry to SL)
Trade executes — first trade of the day. Any further trap signals today are ignored.
Example for Long (Seller Trap):
Price drops below PDL → some sellers enter.
Price immediately closes back above PDL, trapping sellers.
Strategy enters long at the close of the reversal candle.
SL: below trap candle using ATR
TP: 2:1 R:R
Trade executes — only first trade of the day.
5. Why This Strategy Works
Exploits liquidity zones: Markets often hunt stops above PDH or below PDL.
High-probability reversals: Trapped traders create strong counter moves.
ATR SL: avoids being stopped by minor market noise or wick spikes.
Selective trading: Only first trade per day → reduces overtrading and noise.
Clear visual markers: Makes manual observation and confirmation easy.
6. Key Tips for Traders
Best on high-volume instruments like Forex majors, indices, or crypto pairs with decent liquidity.
Works well on 15m and 1H charts — 15m allows quicker signals, 1H filters noise.
Avoid trading around major news releases — traps can behave differently during high volatility events.
Always backtest and use the ATR SL — never reduce SL too much, otherwise stops will trigger before the real move.
✅ Summary:
The Liquidity Trap Strategy identifies trapped buyers/sellers using previous day highs/lows.
It uses ATR-adapted stops and 2:1 R:R TP.
Only first trade per day is executed, reducing false signals.
Anchored PDH/PDL lines and labels make trade opportunities clear.
This system is low-frequency, high-probability, focusing on trading smart rather than frequently.
Golder/Silter SetupsGolden/Silver Strategy
Overview
The Tony Rago Golden/Silver Strategy is a high-precision mean-reversion system specifically engineered for the Nasdaq (NQ/MNQ). It leverages the psychological 100-point price blocks to identify institutional exhaustion and reversal points.
Unlike standard "grid" bots, this strategy uses a sophisticated "Arm & Fire" logic: it requires a specific price "touch" to arm the setup, followed by a retracement to a "Golden" entry level to execute.
Key Logic: The 100-Point Grid
The strategy divides price action into 100-point blocks (e.g., 19500 to 19600).
Golden Setup (Long): Triggered when price touches the 50 level (mid-point). The order is placed at the 26 level on the retracement.
Silver Setup (Short): Triggered when price touches the 00 or 100 levels (block boundaries). The order is placed at the 77 or 26 levels on the retracement.
Professional Risk Management
This edition features a Dual-Contract Management system designed for Prop Firm consistency:
Contract 1 (The Scalp): Aims for a quick 24-point target (TP1) to secure realized gains and cover costs.
Contract 2 (The Runner): Stays in the trade for an extended 51-point target (TP2).
Automated Break-Even (BE): The moment TP1 is hit, the Stop Loss for the Runner is automatically moved to the entry price (plus a small offset). This ensures a "risk-free" environment for the remainder of the trade.
Independent Stop Losses: The Scalp and the Runner use different SL distances to account for Nasdaq volatility, preventing a single "noise" wick from wiping out the entire position.
Intelligent Filters
ADX Range Filter: The strategy monitors market trend strength. It only allows trades when the ADX is below a user-defined threshold (default 25), ensuring you only play mean-reversion during ranging or "choppy" markets.
MA Visual Semaphor: The 50 EMA changes color dynamically based on ADX (Lime/Green for Range, Orange/Red for Trend), giving you an instant visual "Go/No-Go" signal.
Time-Session Filtering: Optimized for three custom sessions (NY Open, Mid-Day Reversal, and Late Night). Outside these sessions, the strategy can "Arm" setups in memory but will not "Fire" orders.
How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for 1-Minute or 2-Minute charts for precision entry.
Asset: Nasdaq 100 (NQ, MNQ) or similar high-volatility indices.
Setup: * Enable Session Filters to avoid news volatility.
Adjust TP/SL in Points (1 Point = 4 Ticks) to suit your specific risk appetite.
Watch for the "Armados" labels—these indicate the system is ready and waiting for the Golden/Silver entry.
Visual Interface
Dynamic Boxes: Real-time visual representation of your TP1, TP2, and SL levels.
Activation Labels: Clear indications of when a Long or Short setup has been "Armed" in memory.
Status Dashboard: A clean top-right table showing current ADX values, Session status, and Risk settings.
Disclaimer
Trading involves significant risk. This strategy is a tool for decision support and backtesting. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account before risking live capital.

Account GuardianAccount Guardian: Dynamic Risk/Reward Overlay
Introduction
Account Guardian is an open-source indicator for TradingView designed to help traders evaluate trade setups before entering positions. It automatically calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios based on market structure, displays visual Stop Loss and Take Profit zones, and provides real-time position sizing recommendations.
The indicator addresses a fundamental question every trader should ask before entering a trade: "Does this setup make mathematical sense?" Account Guardian answers this question visually and numerically, helping traders avoid impulsive entries with poor risk profiles.
Core Functionality
Account Guardian performs four primary functions:
Detects swing highs and swing lows to identify logical stop loss placement levels
Calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios for both long and short setups in real-time
Displays visual SL/TP zones on the chart for immediate trade planning
Computes position sizing based on your account size and risk tolerance
The goal is to provide traders with instant feedback on whether a potential trade meets their minimum risk/reward criteria before committing capital.
How It Works
Swing Detection
The indicator uses pivot point detection to identify recent swing highs and swing lows on the chart. These swing points serve as logical areas for stop loss placement:
For Long Trades: The most recent swing low becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis.
For Short Trades: The most recent swing high becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis.
The swing detection lookback period is configurable, allowing you to adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe and style.
It automatically adjusts the tp and sl when it is applied to your chart so it is always moving up and down!
Risk/Reward Calculation
Once swing levels are identified, the indicator calculates:
Entry Price: Current close price (where you would enter)
Stop Loss: Recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts)
Risk: Distance from entry to stop loss
Take Profit: Entry plus (Risk × Target Multiplier)
R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk
The R:R ratio is then evaluated against your configured thresholds to determine if the setup is valid, marginal, or poor.
Visual Elements
SL/TP Zones
When enabled, the indicator draws colored boxes on the chart showing:
Red Zone: Stop Loss area - the region between your entry and stop loss
Green/Gold/Red Zone: Take Profit area - colored based on R:R quality
The color coding provides instant visual feedback:
Green: R:R meets or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold (default 3:1)
Gold: R:R meets minimum threshold but below "Good" (between 2:1 and 3:1)
Red: R:R below minimum threshold - setup should be avoided
Swing Point Markers
Small circles mark detected swing points on the chart:
Green circles: Swing lows (potential support / long SL levels)
Red circles: Swing highs (potential resistance / short SL levels)
Dashboard Panel
The dashboard in the top-right corner displays comprehensive trade planning information:
R:R Row: Current Risk-to-Reward ratio for long and short setups
Status Row: VALID, OK, BAD, or N/A based on R:R thresholds
Stop Loss Row: Exact price level for stop loss placement
Take Profit Row: Exact price level for take profit placement
Pos Size Row: Recommended position size based on your risk parameters
Risk $ Row: Dollar amount at risk per trade
Position Sizing Logic
The indicator calculates position size using the formula:
Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk per Unit
Where:
Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage / 100)
Risk per Unit = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price
For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade ($100), if your entry is at 100 and stop loss at 98 (risk of 2 per unit), your position size would be 50 units.
Input Parameters
Swing Detection:
Swing Lookback: Number of bars to look back for pivot detection (default: 10). Higher values find more significant swing points but may be slower to update.
Target Multiplier: Multiplier applied to risk to calculate take profit distance (default: 2). A value of 2 means TP is 2× the distance of SL from entry.
Risk/Reward Thresholds:
Minimum R:R: Minimum acceptable Risk-to-Reward ratio (default: 2.0). Setups below this show as "BAD" in red.
Good R:R: Threshold for excellent setups (default: 3.0). Setups at or above this show as "VALID" in green.
Account Settings:
Account Size ($): Your trading account size in dollars (default: 10,000). Used for position sizing calculations.
Risk Per Trade (%): Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 1.0%). Professional traders typically risk 0.5-2% per trade.
Display:
Show SL/TP Zones: Toggle visibility of the colored zone boxes on chart (default: enabled)
Show Dashboard: Toggle visibility of the information panel (default: enabled)
Analyze Direction: Choose to analyze Long only, Short only, or Both directions (default: Both)
How to Use This Indicator
Basic Workflow:
Add the indicator to your chart
Configure your account size and risk percentage in the settings
Set your minimum and good R:R thresholds based on your trading rules
Look at the dashboard to see current R:R for potential long and short entries
Only consider trades where the status shows "VALID" or at minimum "OK"
Use the displayed SL and TP levels for your order placement
Use the position size recommendation to determine lot/contract size
Interpreting the Dashboard:
VALID (Green): Excellent setup - R:R meets your "Good" threshold. This is the ideal scenario for taking a trade.
OK (Gold): Acceptable setup - R:R meets minimum but isn't optimal. Consider taking if other confluence factors align.
BAD (Red): Poor setup - R:R below minimum threshold. Avoid this trade or wait for better entry.
N/A (Gray): Cannot calculate - usually means no valid swing point detected yet.
Best Practices:
Use this indicator as a filter, not a signal generator. It tells you IF a trade makes sense, not WHEN to enter.
Combine with your existing entry strategy - use Account Guardian to validate setups from other analysis.
Adjust the swing lookback based on your timeframe. Lower timeframes may need smaller lookback values.
Be honest with your account size input - accurate position sizing requires accurate inputs.
Consider the target multiplier carefully. Higher multipliers mean larger potential reward but lower probability of hitting TP.
Alerts
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
Good Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Good Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Bad Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R falls below your minimum threshold
Bad Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R falls below your minimum threshold
These alerts can help you monitor multiple charts and get notified when favorable setups appear.
Technical Implementation
The indicator is built using Pine Script v6 and includes:
Pivot-based swing detection using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow()
Dynamic box drawing for visual SL/TP zones
Table-based dashboard for clean information display
Color-coded visual feedback system
Persistent variable tracking for swing levels
Code Structure:
// Swing Detection
float swingHi = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
float swingLo = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
// R:R Calculation for Long
float longSL = recentSwingLo
float longRisk = entry - longSL
float longTP = entry + (longRisk * targetMult)
float longRR = (longTP - entry) / longRisk
// Position Sizing
float riskAmount = accountSize * (riskPct / 100)
float posSize = riskAmount / longRisk
Limitations
The indicator uses historical swing points which may not always represent optimal SL placement for your specific strategy
Position sizing assumes you can trade fractional units - adjust accordingly for instruments with minimum lot sizes
R:R calculations assume linear price movement and don't account for gaps or slippage
The indicator doesn't predict price direction - it only evaluates the mathematical viability of a setup
Swing detection has inherent lag due to the lookback period required for pivot confirmation
Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Scalping (1-5 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 5-8
Target Multiplier: 1-2
Minimum R:R: 1.5
Good R:R: 2.0
Day Trading (15-60 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 8-12
Target Multiplier: 2
Minimum R:R: 2.0
Good R:R: 3.0
Swing Trading (4H-Daily charts):
Swing Lookback: 10-20
Target Multiplier: 2-3
Minimum R:R: 2.5
Good R:R: 4.0
Why Risk/Reward Matters
Many traders focus solely on win rate, but profitability depends on the combination of win rate AND risk/reward ratio. Consider these scenarios:
50% win rate with 1:1 R:R = Breakeven (before costs)
50% win rate with 2:1 R:R = Profitable
40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable
60% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing money
Account Guardian helps ensure you only take trades where the math works in your favor, even if you're wrong more often than you're right.

Detailed Take-Profit Calculation Formula:
The take-profit prices are calculated using the following mathematical formula:
// Core variables:
// risk_amount = account_size * (risk_percentage / 100)
// total_risk_per_share = |entry_price - sl_price| + (entry_price * fee%) + (sl_price * fee%)
// shares = risk_amount / total_risk_per_share
// direction_factor = 1 for long positions, -1 for short positions
// Take-profit calculation:
net_win = total_risk_per_share * shares * RR_ratio
tp_price = (net_win + (direction_factor * entry_price * shares) + (entry_price * fee% * shares)) / (direction_factor * shares - fee% * shares)
Step-by-step example for a long position (based on screenshot):
Account Size: 2,000 USDT, Risk: 2% = 40 USDT
Entry: 102,062.9 USDT, Stop Loss: 102,178.4 USDT, Fee: 0.06%
Risk per share: |102,062.9 - 102,178.4| + (102,062.9 × 0.0006) + (102,178.4 × 0.0006) = 115.5 + 61.24 + 61.31 = 238.05 USDT
Shares: 40 ÷ 238.05 = 0.168 shares (rounded to 0.17 in display)
Position Size: 0.17 × 102,062.9 = 17,350.69 USDT
Position Amount (with 9x leverage): 17,350.69 ÷ 9 = 1,927.85 USDT
For 2:1 RR: Net win = 238.05 × 0.17 × 2 = 80.94 USDT
TP1 price = (80.94 + (1 × 102,062.9 × 0.17) + (102,062.9 × 0.0006 × 0.17)) ÷ (1 × 0.17 - 0.0006 × 0.17) = 101,464.7 USDT
For 3:1 RR: TP2 price = 101,226.7 USDT (following same formula with RR=3)
This ensures that after accounting for all fees, the actual risk-reward ratio matches the specified target ratio.
Risk Management Features
Maximum Trade Amount: Optional setting to limit position size regardless of account size
Leverage Limits: Built-in maximum leverage protection
Fee Integration: All calculations include realistic trading fees for accurate expectations
Validation: Automatic checking that take-profit portions sum to 100%
Historical Tracking: Visual indication when stop-loss or take-profit levels are reached (within last 5000 bars)
Understanding Max Trade Amount - Multiple Simultaneous Trades:
The "Max Trade Amount" feature is designed for traders who want to open multiple positions simultaneously while maintaining proper risk management. Here's how it works:
Key Concept:
- Risk percentage (2%) always applies to your full Account Size
- Max Trade Amount limits the capital allocated per individual trade
- This allows multiple trades with full risk on each trade
Example from Screenshot:
Account Size: 2,000 USDT
Max Trade Amount: 500 USDT
Risk per Trade: 2% × 2,000 = 40 USDT per trade
Stop Loss Distance: 0.11% from entry
Result: Position Size = 17,350.69 USDT with 35x leverage
Total Risk (including fees): 40.46 USDT
Multiple Trades Strategy:
With this setup, you can open:
Trade 1: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 2: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 3: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Trade 4: 40 USDT risk, 495.73 USDT position amount (35x leverage)
Total Portfolio Exposure:
- 4 simultaneous trades = 4 × 495.73 = 1,982.92 USDT position amount
- Total risk exposure = 4 × 40 = 160 USDT (8% of account)

A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that identifies institutional trading
patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level
DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION:
• Trend: Current market direction (Bullish/Bearish)
• Volume: Confirmation strength (High volume = stronger signals)
• Signal: Latest structure break detected
• Key High/Low: Critical levels for the current trend
• Position: Price location (Premium = expensive, Discount = cheap)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
STRUCTURE DETECTION:
• Pivot Length (Default: 10)
- Lower values = More signals but potentially weaker
- Higher values = Fewer signals but stronger/more reliable
- Recommended: 8-12 for intraday, 10-15 for higher timeframes
• Structure Line Extension
- Visual preference for how far lines extend
- Does not affect signal detection
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
• Order Block Extension: How long OB boxes remain visible
• FVG Extension: How long gap boxes remain visible
• Min FVG Size: Filter out small gaps (0 = show all)
- Set to 10-20% to reduce noise
- Set to 0 to see all gaps
VOLUME FILTER:
• Volume Confirmation (Recommended: ON)
- Filters weak signals without volume support
- Reduces false breakouts
• Volume Multiplier (Default: 1.5)
- Higher = Stricter filtering (fewer but stronger signals)
- Lower = More signals (but may include weak ones)

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR:
• Pivot points WILL repaint until confirmed (this is by design and unavoidable)
• Structure breaks (BOS/CHoCH) use CLOSED candles and do NOT repaint after confirmation
• Order Blocks and FVGs are drawn on confirmed signals and do NOT repaint

📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Strategy 1: Mean Reversion Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Ranging or choppy markets with no clear directional trend
Timeframe: Works best on lower timeframes (5m-1H) or during consolidation phases
Band Characteristic: Normal to narrow band width
Entry Rules:
Long Entry: RSI touches or crosses below lower band, wait for RSI to start rising back toward basis before entry
Short Entry: RSI touches or crosses above upper band, wait for RSI to start falling back toward basis before entry
Confirmation: Use price action confirmation (candlestick reversal patterns) at band touches
Exit Rules:
Target: RSI returns to basis line or opposite band
Stop Loss: Fixed percentage or below recent swing low/high
Time Stop: Exit if position not profitable within expected timeframe
Strategy 2: Trend Continuation Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Clear trending market with higher highs/lower lows
Timeframe: Medium to higher timeframes (1H-Daily)
Band Characteristic: Expanding or wide bands indicating strong momentum
Entry Rules:
Long Entry in Uptrend: Wait for RSI to pull back to basis line or slightly below, enter when RSI starts rising again
Short Entry in Downtrend: Wait for RSI to rally to basis line or slightly above, enter when RSI starts falling again
Avoid Counter-Trend: Do not fade RSI at bands during strong trends (band walk patterns)
Exit Rules:
Trailing Stop: Move stop to break-even when RSI reaches opposite band
Trend Break: Exit when RSI crosses basis against trend direction with conviction
Band Squeeze: Reduce position size when bands start narrowing significantly
Strategy 3: Breakout Preparation
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Consolidating market after significant move or at key technical levels
Timeframe: Any timeframe, but longer timeframes provide more reliable breakouts
Band Characteristic: Narrowest band width in recent 100 bars (squeeze alert)
Preparation Phase:
Identify band squeeze condition (bands at multi-period narrowest point)
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags)
Prepare bracket orders for both directions
Wait for band expansion to begin
Entry Execution:
Breakout Confirmation: Enter in direction of RSI band breakout (RSI breaks above upper band or below lower band)
Price Confirmation: Ensure price also breaks corresponding technical level
Volume Confirmation: Look for volume expansion supporting the breakout
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Place beyond consolidation pattern opposite extreme
Position Sizing: Use smaller size due to false breakout risk
Quick Exit: Exit immediately if RSI returns inside bands within 1-3 bars
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Timeframe Selection:
Higher Timeframe: Daily or 4H for trend context
Trading Timeframe: 1H or 15m for entry signals
Confirmation Timeframe: 5m or 1m for precise entry timing
Analysis Process:
Trend Identification: Check higher timeframe RSI position relative to bands, trade only in direction of higher timeframe momentum
Setup Formation: Wait for trading timeframe RSI to show pullback to basis in trending direction
Entry Timing: Use confirmation timeframe RSI band touch or crossover for precise entry
Alignment Confirmation: All timeframes should show RSI moving in same direction for highest probability setups

Advanced Options: Full access to 25+ moving average types for basis calculation, including HMA (reduced lag), DEMA/TEMA (enhanced responsiveness), KAMA/FRAMA (adaptive to volatility changes)
Selection Guide: SMA for standard Bollinger Bands behavior and backtesting consistency, EMA for faster band adaptation in dynamic markets, matching RSI MA type creates unified smoothing behavior
BB Multiplier Parameter:
Conservative (1.5-1.8): Tighter bands resulting in more frequent touches, useful in low volatility environments, higher signal frequency but potentially more false signals
Standard (2.0): Default setting representing approximately 95% confidence interval under normal distribution, widely accepted statistical threshold
Aggressive (2.5-3.0): Wider bands capturing only extreme momentum conditions, fewer but potentially more significant signals, reduces false signals in high volatility
Adaptive Approach: Consider adjusting multiplier based on instrument characteristics, lower multiplier for stable instruments, higher for volatile instruments
Parameter Optimization Workflow:
Start with default parameters (RSI:14, BB:20, Mult:2.0)
Test across representative sample period including different market regimes
Adjust RSI length based on desired responsiveness vs stability tradeoff
Tune BB length to match your typical holding period
Modify multiplier to achieve desired signal frequency
Validate on out-of-sample data to avoid overfitting
Document optimal parameters for different instruments and timeframes
Reference Levels Display:
Enabled (Default): Shows traditional 30/50/70 levels for comparison with dynamic bands, helps visualize the adaptive advantage
Disabled: Cleaner chart focusing purely on dynamic zones, reduces visual clutter for experienced users
Educational Value: Keeping reference levels visible helps understand how dynamic bands differ from fixed thresholds across varying market conditions
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand the interaction between momentum measurement and statistical volatility bands. The RSI Bollinger Bands has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
No Predictive Guarantee: Past band touches and patterns do not guarantee future price behavior
Market Regime Dependency: Indicator performance varies significantly between trending and ranging market conditions
Complementary Analysis Required: Should be used alongside price action, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis
Risk Management Essential: Always use proper position sizing, stop losses, and risk controls regardless of signal quality
Parameter Sensitivity: Different instruments and timeframes may require parameter optimization for optimal results
Continuous Monitoring: Band characteristics change with market conditions, requiring ongoing assessment
Recommended Supporting Analysis:
Price structure analysis (support/resistance, trend lines)
Volume confirmation for breakout signals
Multiple timeframe alignment
Market context awareness (news events, session times)
Correlation analysis with related instruments
The indicator aims to provide adaptive momentum analysis that adjusts to changing market volatility, but traders must apply sound judgment, proper risk management, and comprehensive market analysis in their decision-making process.
Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI)Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - Where Physics Meets Finance
The Quantum Revolution in Market Analysis
After months of research into quantum mechanics and its applications to financial markets, I'm thrilled to present the Quantum State Superposition Indicator (QSSI) - a groundbreaking approach that models price action through the lens of quantum physics. This isn't just another technical indicator; it's a paradigm shift in how we understand market behavior.
The Theoretical Foundation
Quantum Superposition in Markets
In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed. Similarly, markets exist in a superposition of potential states (bullish, bearish, neutral) until a significant volume event "collapses" the wave function into a definitive direction.
The mathematical framework:
Wave Function (Ψ): Represents the market's quantum state as a weighted sum of all possible states:
Ψ = Σ(αᵢ × Sᵢ)
Where αᵢ are probability amplitudes and Sᵢ are individual quantum states.
Probability Amplitudes: Calculated using the Born rule, normalized so Σ|αᵢ|² = 1
Observation Operator: Volume/Average Volume ratio determines observation strength
The Five Quantum States
Momentum State: Short-term price velocity (EMA of returns)
Mean Reversion State: Deviation from equilibrium (normalized z-score)
Volatility Expansion State: ATR relative to historical average
Trend Continuation State: Long-term price positioning
Chaos State: Volatility of volatility (market uncertainty)
Each state contributes to the overall wave function based on current market conditions.
Wave Function Collapse
When volume exceeds the observation threshold (default 1.5x average), the wave function "collapses," committing the market to a direction. This models how institutional volume forces markets out of uncertainty into trending states.
Collapse Detection Formula:
Collapse = Volume > (Threshold × Average Volume)
Direction = Sign(Ψ) at collapse moment
Advanced Quantum Concepts
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The indicator calculates market uncertainty as the product of price and momentum
uncertainties:
ΔP × ΔM = ℏ (market uncertainty constant)
This manifests as dynamic uncertainty bands that widen during unstable periods.
Quantum Tunneling
Calculates the probability of price "tunneling" through resistance/support barriers:
P(tunnel) = e^(-2×|barrier_height|×√coherence_length)
Unlike classical technical analysis, this gives probability of breakouts before they occur.
Entanglement
Measures the quantum correlation between price and volume:
Entanglement = |Correlation(Price, Volume, lookback)|
High entanglement suggests coordinated institutional activity.
Decoherence
When market states lose quantum properties and behave classically:
Decoherence = 1 - Σ(amplitude²)
Indicates trend emergence from quantum uncertainty.
Visual Innovation
Probability Clouds
Three-tier probability distributions visualize market uncertainty:
Inner Cloud (68%): One standard deviation - most likely price range
Middle Cloud (95%): Two standard deviations - probable extremes
Outer Cloud (99.7%): Three standard deviations - tail risk zones
Cloud width directly represents market uncertainty - wider clouds signal higher entropy states.
Quantum State Visualization
Colored dots represent individual quantum states:
Green: Momentum state strength
Red: Mean reversion state strength
Yellow: Volatility state strength
Dot brightness indicates amplitude (influence) of each state.
Collapse Events
Aqua Diamonds (Above): Bullish collapse - upward commitment
Pink Diamonds (Below): Bearish collapse - downward commitment
These mark precise moments when markets exit superposition.
Implementation Details
Core Calculations
Feature Extraction: Normalize price returns, volume ratios, and volatility measures
State Calculation: Compute each quantum state's value
Amplitude Assignment: Weight states by market conditions and observation strength
Wave Function: Sum weighted states for final market quantum state
Visualization: Transform quantum values to price space for display

Development Journey
Creating QSSI required:
- Deep study of quantum mechanics principles
- Translation of physics equations to market context
- Extensive backtesting across multiple markets
- UI/UX optimization for trader accessibility
- Performance optimization for real-time calculation
- The result bridges cutting-edge physics with practical trading.

Perfect for traders seeking deeper market understanding.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. While quantum mechanics provides a fascinating framework for market analysis, no indicator can predict future prices with certainty. The probabilistic nature of both quantum mechanics and markets means outcomes are inherently uncertain.
Always use proper risk management, conduct thorough analysis, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Conclusion
The Quantum State Superposition Indicator represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis, bringing institutional-grade quantum modeling to retail traders. By viewing markets through the lens of quantum mechanics, we gain unique insights into uncertainty, probability, and state transitions that classical indicators miss.
Whether you're a physicist interested in finance or a trader seeking cutting-edge tools, QSSI opens new dimensions in market analysis.
"The market, like Schrödinger's cat, exists in multiple states until observed through volume."
* As you may have noticed, the past two indicators I've released (Lorentzian Classification and Quantum State Superposition) are designed with strategy implementation in mind. I'm currently developing a stable execution platform that's completely unique and moves away from traditional ATR-based position sizing and stop loss systems. I've found ATR-based approaches to be unreliable in volatile markets and regime transitions - they often lag behind actual market conditions and can lead to premature exits or oversized positions during volatility spikes.
The goal is to create something that adapts to market conditions in real-time using the quantum and relativistic principles we've been exploring. Hopefully I'll have something groundbreaking to share soon. Stay tuned!
Trade with quantum insight. Trade with QSSI .

Multi-Factor Reversal AnalyzerMulti-Factor Reversal Analyzer – Quantitative Reversal Signal System
OVERVIEW
Multi-Factor Reversal Analyzer is a comprehensive technical analysis toolkit designed to detect market tops and bottoms with high precision. It combines trend momentum analysis, price action behavior, wave oscillation structure, and volatility breakout potential into one unified indicator.
This indicator is not a random mix of tools — each module is carefully selected for a specific purpose. When combined, they form a multi-dimensional view of the market, merging trend analysis, momentum divergence, and volatility compression to produce high-confidence signals.
Why Combine These Modules?
Module Combination Ideas & How to Use Them
Factor A: Trend Detector + Gold Zone
Concept:
• The Trend Detector (light yellow histogram) evaluates market strength:
• Histogram trending downward or staying below 50 → bearish conditions;
• Trending upward or staying above 50 → bullish conditions.
• The Gold Zone identifies areas of volatility compression — typically a prelude to explosive market moves.
Practical Application:
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bearish → likely downside move;
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bullish → likely upside breakout.
• Note: The Gold Zone does not mean the bottom is in. It is not a buy signal on its own — always combine it with other modules for directional bias.
Factor B: PAI + Wave Trend
Concept:
• PAI (Price Action Index) is a custom oscillator that combines price momentum with volatility dispersion, displaying strength zones:
• Green area → bullish dominance;
• Red area → bearish pressure.
• Wave Trend offers smoothed crossover signals via the main and signal lines.
Practical Application:
• When PAI is in the green zone and Wave Trend makes a bullish crossover → potential reversal to the upside;
• When PAI is in the red zone and Wave Trend shows a bearish crossover → potential start of a downtrend.
Factor C: Trend Detector + PAI
Concept:
• Combines directional trend strength with price action strength to confirm setups via confluence.
Practical Application:
• Trend Detector histogram bottoms out + PAI enters the green zone → high chance of upward reversal;
• Histogram tops out + PAI in the red zone → increased likelihood of downside continuation.
Multi-Factor Confluence (Advanced Use)
• When Trend Detector, PAI, and Wave Trend all align in the same direction (bullish or bearish), the directional signal becomes significantly more reliable.
• This setup is especially useful for trend-following or swing trade entries.
KEY FEATURES
1. Multi-Layer Reversal Logic
• Combines trend scoring, oscillator divergence, and volatility squeezes for triangulated reversal detection.
• Helps traders distinguish between trend pullbacks and true reversals.
2. Advanced Divergence Detection
• Detects both regular and hidden divergences using pivot-based confirmation logic.
• Customizable lookback ranges and pivot sensitivity provide flexible tuning for different market styles.
3. Gold Zone Volatility Compression
• Highlights pre-breakout zones using custom oscillation models (RSI, harmonic, Karobein, etc.).
• Improves anticipation of breakout opportunities following low-volatility compressions.
4. Trend Direction Context
• PAI and Trend Score components provide top-down insight into prevailing bias.
• Built-in “Straddle Area” highlights consolidation zones; breakouts from this area often signal new trend phases.
5. Flexible Visualization
• Color-coded trend bars, reversal markers, normalized oscillator plots, and trend strength labels.
• Designed for both visual discretionary traders and data-driven system developers.
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Applicable Markets
• Suitable for stocks, crypto, futures, and forex
• Supports reversal, mean-reversion, and breakout trading styles
2. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-term traders: 5m / 15m / 1H — use Wave Trend divergence + Gold Zone
• Swing traders: 4H / Daily — rely on Price Action Index and Trend Detector
• Macro trend context: use PAI HTF mode for higher timeframe overlays
3. Reversal Strategy Flow
• Watch for divergence (WT/PAI) + Gold Zone compression
• Confirm with Trend Score weakening or flipping
• Use Straddle Area breakout for final trigger
• Optional: enable bar coloring or labels for visual reinforcement
• The indicator performs optimally when used in conjunction with a harmonic pattern recognition tool
4. Additional Note on the Gold Zone
The “Gold Zone” does not directly indicate a market bottom. Since it is displayed at the bottom of the chart, it may be misunderstood as a bullish signal. In reality, the Gold Zone represents a compression of price momentum and volatility, suggesting that a significant directional move is about to occur. The direction of that move—upward or downward—should be determined by analyzing the histogram:
• If histogram momentum is weakening, the Gold Zone may precede a downward move.
• If histogram momentum is strengthening, it may signal an upcoming rebound or rally.
Treat the Gold Zone as a warning of impending volatility, and always combine it with trend indicators for accurate directional judgment.
RISK DISCLAIMER
• This indicator calculates trend direction based on historical data and cannot guarantee future market performance. When using this indicator for trading, always combine it with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and personal trading experience for comprehensive decision-making.
• Market conditions are uncertain, and trend signals may result in false positives or lag. Traders should avoid over-reliance on indicator signals and implement stop-loss strategies and risk management techniques to reduce potential losses.
• Leverage trading carries high risks and may result in rapid capital loss. If using this indicator in leveraged markets (such as futures, forex, or cryptocurrency derivatives), exercise caution, manage risks properly, and set reasonable stop-loss/take-profit levels to protect funds.
• All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the trader. The developer is not liable for any trading losses. This indicator is for technical analysis reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
• Before live trading, it is recommended to use a demo account for testing to fully understand how to use the indicator and apply proper risk management strategies.
