3 Candle Strike StretegyMainly developed for AMEX:SPY trading on 1 min chart. But feel free to try on other tickers.
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles,
followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend. This strategy also uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short
entries. ie. if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There is option change these moving average periods to suit your needs.
I also choose to use Linear Regression to determine whether the market is ranging or trending. It seems the 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market. Hence I use it as a filter.
There is also an option to combine this strategy with moving average crossovers. The idea is to look for 3 candle pattern right after a fast moving average crosses over a slow moving average.
By default , 21 and 50 smoothed moving averages are used. This gives additional entry opportunities and also provides better results.
This strategy aims for 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of
the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss
by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit condition to maximize potential profit.
This strategy will exit an order if an opposing 3 candle pattern is detected, this could happen before stop loss or price target is reached, and may also happen after price target is reached.
*Note that this strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. I haven't determined an easy way to calculate the # of contracts to represent the equivalent option values. Plus the option
prices varies greatly depending on which strike and expiry that may suits your trading style. Therefore, please be mindful of the net profit shown. By default, each entry is approximately equal
to buying 10 of same day or 1 day expiry call or puts at strike $1 - $2 OTM. This strategy will close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Mon, Wed, and Fri.
**Note that this strategy also takes into account of extended market data.
***Note pyramiding is set to 2 by default, so it allows for multiple entries on the way towards price target.
Remember that market conditions are always changing. This strategy was only able to be back-tested using 1 month of data. This strategy may not work the next month. Please keep that in mind.
Also, I take no credit for any of the indicators used as part of this strategy.
Enjoy~

XABCD Harmonic Pattern Custom Range Interactive█ OVERVIEW
This indicator was designed based on Harmonic Pattern Book written by Scott Carney. It was simplified to user who may always used tools such as XABCD Pattern and Long Position / Short Position, which consume a lot of time, recommended for both beginner and expert of Harmonic Pattern Traders. XABCD Pattern require tool usage of Magnet tool either Strong Magnet, Week Magnet or none, which cause error or human mistake especially daily practice.
Simplified Guideline by sequence for Harmonic Pattern if using manual tools :
Step 1 : Trade Identification - XABCD Pattern
Step 2 : Trade Execution - Any manual tools of your choice
Step 3 : Trade Management - Position / Short Position
█ INSPIRATION
Inspired by design, code and usage of CAGR. Basic usage of custom range / interactive, pretty much explained here . Credits to TradingView.
I use a lot of XABCD Pattern and Long Position / Short Position, require 5 to 10 minutes on average, upon determine the validity of harmonic pattern.
Upon creating this indicator, I believed that time can be reduced, gain more confidence, reduce error during drawing XABCD, which helps most of harmonic pattern users.
█ FEATURES
Table can positioned by any postion and font size can be resized.
Table can be display through optimized display or manual control.
Validility of harmonic pattern depends on BC ratio.
Harmonic pattern can be displayed fully or optimized while showing BC ratio validity.
Trade Execution at point D can be displayed on / off.
Stop Loss and Take Profit can be calculated automatically or manually.
Optimized table display based extend line setup and profit and loss setup.
Execution zone can be offset to Point C, by default using Point D.
Currency can be show or hide.
Profit and Loss can be displayed on axis once line is extended.
█ HOW TO USE
Step 1 : Trade Identification - Draw points from Point X to Point C. Dont worry about magnet, point will attached depends on High or Low of the candle.
Step 2 : Trade Execution - Check the validity of BC to determine the validity of harmonic pattern generated. Pattern only generate 1 pattern upon success. Otherwise, redraw to other points.
Step 3 : Trade Management - Determine the current candle either reach Point D or Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ). Check for Profit & Loss once reach PRZ.
█ USAGE LIMITATIONS
Harmonic Patterns only limits to patterns mentioned in Harmonic Trading Volume 3 due to other pattern may have other or different philosophy.
Only can be used for Daily timeframe and below due to bar_time is based on minutes by default.
Not recommended for Weekly and Monthly timeframe.
If Point X, A, B, C and D is next to each other, it is recommend to use lower timeframe.
Automated alert is not supported for this release. However, alert can be done manually. Alert will updated on the version.
█ PINE SCRIPT LIMITATIONS
Known bug for when calculate time in array, causing label may not appeared or offset.
Unable to convert to library due to usage of array.get(). I prefer usage for a combination of array.get(id, 0), array.get(id, 1), array.get(id, 2) into custom function, however I faced this issue during make arrays of label. Index can be simply refered as int, for id, i not sure, already try id refered as simple, nothing happens.
linefill.new() will appeared as diamond box if overused.
Text in box.new() unable to use ternary condition or switch to change color. Bgcolor also affected.
Label display is larger than XABCD tool. Hopefully in future, have function to resize label similar to XABCD tools.
█ IMPORTANTS
Trade Management (Profit & Loss) is calculated from Point A to D.
Take Profit is calculated based on ratio 0.382 and 0.618 of Point A to D.
Always check BC validity before proceed to Trade Management.
Length of XABCD is equal to XAB plus BCD, where XAB and BCD are one to one ratio. Length is measured in time.
Use other oscillator to countercheck. Normally use built-in Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Divergence Indicator to determine starting point of Point X and A.

Indicators Combination Framework v3 IND [DTU]Hello All,
This script is a framework to analyze and see the results by combine selected indicators for (long, short, longexit, shortexit) conditions.
I was designed this for beginners and users to facilitate to see effects of the technical indicators combinations on the chart WITH NO CODE
You can improve your strategies according the results of this system by connecting the framework to a strategy framework/template such as Pinecoder, Benson, daveatt or custom.
This is enhanced version of my previous indicator "Indicators & Conditions Test Framework "
Currently there are 93 indicators (23 newly added) connected over library. You can also import an External Indicator or add Custom indicator (In the source)
It is possible to change it from Indicator to strategy (simple one) by just remarking strategy parts in the source code and see real time profit of your combinations
Feel free to change or use it in your source
Special thanks goes to Pine wizards: Trading view (built-in Indicators), @Rodrigo, @midtownsk8rguy, @Lazybear, @Daveatt and others for their open source codes and contributions
SIMPLE USAGE
1. SETTING: Show Alerts= True (To see your entries and Exists)
2. Define your Indicators (ex: INDICATOR1: ema(close,14), INDICATOR2: ema(close,21), INDICATOR3: ema(close,200)
3. Define Your Combinations for long & Short Conditions
a. For Long: (INDICATOR1 crossover INDICATOR2) AND (INDICATOR3 < close)
b. For Short: (INDICATOR1 crossunder INDICATOR2) AND (INDICATOR3 > close)
4. Select Strategy/template (Import strategy to chart) that you export your signals from the list
5. Analyze the best profit by changing Indicators values
SOME INDICATORS DETAILS
Each Indicator includes:
- Factorization : Converting the selected indicator to Double, triple Quadruple such as EMA to DEMA, TEMA QEMA
- Log : Simple or log10 can be used for calculation on function entries
- Plot Type : You can overlay the indicator on the chart (such ema) or you can use stochastic/Percentrank approach to display in the variable hlines range
- Extended Parametes : You can use default parameters or you can use extended (P1,P2) parameters regarding to indicator type and your choice
- Color : You can define indicator color and line properties
- Smooth : you can enable swma smooth
- indicators : you can select one of the 93 function like ema(),rsi().. to define your indicator
- Source : you can select from already defined indicators (IND1-4), External Indicator (EXT), Custom Indicator (CUST), and other sources (close, open...)
CONDITION DETAILS
- There are are 4 type of conditions, long entry, short entry, long exit, short exit.
- Each condition are built up from 4 combinations that joined with "AND" & "OR" operators
- You can see the results by enabling show alerts check box
- If you only wants to enter long entry and long exit, just fill these conditions
- If "close on opposite" checkbox selected on settings, long entry will be closed on short entry and vice versa
COMBINATIONS DETAILS
- There are 4 combinations that joined with "AND" & "OR" operators for each condition
- combinations are built up from compare 1st entry with 2nd one by using operator
- 1st and 2nd entries includes already defined indicators (IND1-5), External Indicator (EXT), Custom Indicator (CUST), and other sources (close, open...)
- Operators are comparison values such as >,<, crossover,...
- 2nd entry include "VALUE" parameter that will use to compare 1st indicator with value area
- If 2nd indicator selected different than "VALUE", value are will mean previous value of the selection. (ex: value area= 2, 2nd entry=close, means close )
- Selecting "NONE" for the 1st entry will disable calculation of current and following combinations
JOINS DETAILS
- Each combination will join wiht the following one with the JOIN (AND, OR) operator (if the following one is not equal "NONE")
CUSTOM INDICATOR
- Custom Indicator defines harcoded in the source code.
- You can call it with "CUST" in the Indicator definition source or combination entries source
- You can change or implement your custom indicator by updating the source code
EXTERNAL INDICATOR
- You can import an external indicator by selecting it from the ext source.
- External Indicator should be already imported to the chart and it have an plot function to output its signal
EXPORTING SIGNAL
- You can export your result to an already defined strategy template such as Pine coders, Benson, Daveatt Strategy templates
- Or you can define your custom export for other future strategy templates
ALERTS
- By enabling show alerts checkbox, you can see long entry exits on the bottom, and short entry exits aon the top of the chart
ADDITIONAL INFO

Take Profit On Trend (by BHD_Trade_Bot)The purpose of strategy is to detect long-term uptrend and short-term downtrend so that you can easy to take profit.
The strategy also using BHD unit to detect how big you win and lose, so that you can use this strategy for all coins without worry about it have different percentage of price change.
ENTRY
The buy order is placed on assets that have long-term uptrend and short-term downtrend:
- Long-term uptrend condition: ema200 is going up (rsi200 greater than 51)
- Short-term downtrend condition: 2 last candles are down price (use candlestick for less delay)
CLOSE
The sell order is placed when take profit or stop loss:
- Take profit: price increase 1 BHD unit
- Stop loss: price decrease 2 BHD units
The strategy use $15 and trading fee is 0.1% for each order. So that, in the real-life, if you are using trade bot, it will need $1500 for trading 100 coins at the same time.
Pro tip : The 1-hour time frame for altcoin/USDT has the best results on average.
Zendog V2 backtest DCA bot 3commasHi everyone,
After a few iterations and additional implemented features this version of the Backtester is now open source.
The Strategy is a Backtester for 3commas DCA bots. The main usage scenario is to plugin your external indicator, and backtest it using different DCA settings.
Before using this script please make sure you read these explanations and make sure you understand how it works.
Features:
- Because of Tradingview limitations on how orders are grouped into Trades, this Strategy statistics are calculated by the script, so please ignore the Strategy Tester statistics completely
Statistics Table explained:
- Status: either all deals are closed or there is a deal still running, in which case additional info
is provided below, as when the deal started, current PnL, current SO
- Finished deals: Total number of closed deals both Winning and Losing.
A deal is comprised as the Base Order (BO) + all Safety Orders (SO) related to that deal, so this number
will be different than the Strategy Tester List of Trades
- Winning Deals: Deal ended in profit
- Losing deals: Deals ended with loss due to Stop Loss. In the future I might add a Deal Stop condition to
the script, so that will count towards this number as well.
- Total days ( Max / Avg days in Deal ):
Total Days in the Backtest given by either Tradingview limitation on the number of candles or by the
config of the script regarding "Limit Date Range".
Max Days spent in a deal + which period this happened.
Avg days spent in a deal.
- Required capital: This is the total capital required to run the Backtester and it is automatically calculated by
the script taking into consideration BO size, SO size, SO volume scale. This should be the same as 3commas.
This number overwrites strategy.initial_capital and is used to calculate Profit and other stats, so you don't need
to update strategy.initial_capital every time you change BO/SO settings
- Profit after commission
- Buy and Hold return: The PnL that could have been obtained by buying at the close of the first candle of the
backtester and selling at the last.
- Covered deviation: The % of price move from initial BO order covered by SO settings
- Max Deviation: Biggest market % price move vs BO price, in the other direction (for long
is down, for short it is up)
- Max Drawdown: Biggest market % price move vs Avg price of the whole Trade (BO + any SO), in the other
direction (for long price goes down, for short it goes up)
This is calculated for the whole Trade so it is different than List of Trades
- Max / Avg bars in deal
- Total volume / Commission calculated by the strategy. For correct commission please set Commission in the
Inputs Tab and you may ignore Properties Tab
- Close stats for deals: This is a list of how many Trades were closed at each step, including Stop Loss (if
configured), together with covered deviation for that step, the number of deals, and the percentage of this
number from all the deals
TODO: Might add deal avg value for each step
- Settings Table that can be enabled / disabled just to have an overview of your configs on the chart, this is a
drawn on bottom left
- Steps Table similar to 3commas, this is also drawn on bottom left, so please disable Settings table if you want
to see this one
TODO: Might add extra stats here
- Deal start condition: built in RSI-7 or plugin any external indicator and compare with any value the indicator plots
(main purpose of this strategy is to connect your own studies, so using external indicator is recommended)
- Base order and safety orders configs similar to 3commas (order size, percent deviation, safety orders,
percent scale and volume scale)
- Long and Short
- Stop Loss
- Support for Take profit from base order or from Total volume of the deal
- Configs help (besides self explanatory):
- Chart theme: Adjust according to the theme you run on. There is no way to detect theme at the moment.
This adjust different colors
- Deal Start Type: Either a builtin RSI7 or "External indicator"
- Indicator Source an value: If using External Indicator then select source, comparison and value.
For example you could start a deal when Volume is greater than xxxx, or code a custom indicator that plots
different values based on your conditions and test those values
- Visuals / Decimals for display: Adjust according to your symbol
- BO Entry Price for steps table: This is the BO start deal price used to calculate the steps in the table
M8 BUY @ END OF DAYI've read a couple of times at a couple of different places that most of the move in the market happens after hours, meaning during non-standard trading hours.
After-market and pre-market hours and have seen data presented showing that systems which bought just before end normal market hours and sold the next morning had really amazing resutls.
But when testing those I found the results to be quite poor compared to the pretty graphs I saw, and after much tweaking and trying different ideas I gave up on the idea until I recently decided to try a new position management system.
The System
Buys at the end of the trading day before the close
Sells the next morning at the open IF THE CLOSE OF THE CURRENT BAR IS HIGHER THAN THE ENTRY PRICE
When the current price is not higher, the system will keep the position open until it EITHER gets stops out or closes on profit <<< this is WHY it has the high win %
The system has a high win ratio because it will keep that one position open until it either reaches profit or stops out
This "system" of waiting, and keeping the trade open, actually turned out to be a fantastic way to kind of put the complete trading strategy in a kind of limbo mode. It either waits for market failure or for a profit.
I don't really care about win % at all, almost always high win % ratio systems are just nonsense. What I look for is a PF -- profit factor of 1.5 or above, and a relatively smooth equity curve. -- This has both.
The Stop Loss setting is set @ .95, meaning a 5% stop loss. The Red Line on the chart is the stop loss line.
There is no set profit target -- it simply takes what the market gives.
Non-Repainting System
This does use a 200D Simple Moving Average as a filter. Like a Green Light / Red Light traffic light, the system will only trade long when the price is above its 200 Moving average.
Here is the code: "F1 = close > sma(security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", close ), MarketFilterLen) // HIGH OF OLD DATA -- SO NO REPAINTING"
I use "close ", so that's data from two days ago, it's fixed, confirmed, non-repainting data from the higher timeframe.
-- I would only suggest using this on direction tickers like SPY, QQQ, SSO, TQQQ, market sectors with additional filters in place.
Average Band by HarmanUsually, Moving Averages (Simple & Exponential) consider "close" of each candle to form a line for a particular period. In this indicator, we have considered all the parameters (Open, Close, Low & High) of each candle to form a Band or a wave which act as a zone to provide support & resistance. It works well on all the time frames. It perfectly works on lower time frames of 15 min & 5 min for intraday trades and even for scalping. There is a line that moves very near to candles known as "Candle Line" provide support & resistance to each individual candle and a leading line which moves ahead also acts as support & resistance and helps in determining trend direction.
How to use the indicator ?
Indicator consists of 3 components :
1) A Band or wave of 3 lines (upper, middle & lower line)
2) A "Candle Line" which moves along with the candles
3) A Leading line which moves ahead of the candles
Method 1 : When candles are being formed above the candle line (line near to candles) and it crosses the band or wave from below to upside, then long trade can be initiated. Similarly, When candles are being formed below the Candle line and it crosses the band or wave from upside then short trade can be initiated. Stop loss can be maintained below the band for Long trade and above the band for short trade. Candle line can be used to trail the stop loss.
Method 2: If candles moves above and below of the band very often and frequently and candle line is in the middle of candles then it is NO TRADING ZONE. If you still want to trade, then select a higher time frame and check the price movement. If there is a stability in the higher time frame, then take the trade in the higher timeframe with stable movement.
Method 3 : Candle line acts as "First line of Defence". In a uptrend, all the candles are formed above the candle line and in case of down trend, all the candles are formed below the candle line. When a newly formed candle cross the candle line then you can book profit. For Example : In uptrend , candles are being formed above the line, when a new candle started forming below the line and when the complete candle is formed below the line, profit can be booked. Vice-versa in case of downtrend.
Method 4: Direction of leading line, band and candle line helps in determining the trend. If all these three components are in upward direction, price trend is upward and if all these three components are in downward direction, then price trend is downward. When, leading line and band cross each other from opposite direction for consecutive 2-3 times, then price movement is sideways.
Method 5 : Thickness of band play an important role in determining price action. If band is narrow, it means small candles are being formed and no any huge price movement is observed in this period. When band started expanding, it signifies that big candles are begin to form and there is a more price movement than before. Similarly, If contraction of band started, it means that small candles are being formed and there is low price movement as compared to the price movement when Band was expanded. If Band is expanded (wider) and volumes are high, It means the Band will act as strong Support or Resistance than usual. In case, candles and candle line cross the expanded Band, you can enter the Long or Short trade.
Method 6: When the Band, leading line and candle line collides or meet at a single point, then it is either strong support or resistance.
Method 7 : Usage in Scalping : Select the shorter time frame of 1 min or 5 min. If the candles are crossing the band very frequently in 1 min, then select 5 min time frame or wait for few minutes for stability. Now, when candles started forming above the candle line and it crosses the band from below then take a long position and book profit after few candles above the band. Place stop loss below the Band. Similarly, when candles started forming below the candle line and it crosses the band from above, then enter into short trade and book profit after few candles. Place stop loss above the band in the case of short trade.
You can combine above methods to give a sharp edge to your trade and increase the probability of your winning in the trade.
Indicator Settings : Default period selected is 50 for both the Band and leading line. You can change the period to 26 or 100 or 200. Select the period and check the chart, if the indicator looks fine and smooth, then you can use your settings. For most of the time, default settings work perfectly.

Probability of ATR Index [racer8]Deriving the indicator:
PAI is an indicator I created that tells you the probability of current price moving a specified ATR distance over a specified number of periods into the future. It takes into account 4 variables: the ATR & the standard deviation of price, and the 2 parameters: ATR distance and # bars (time).
The formula is very complex so I will not be able to explain it without confusion arising.
What I can say is that I used integral calculus & the Taylor series to derive a formula that calculates the area under half of the normal distribution function. Thus, the formula was repeated twice in the code to derive the full probability (half + half = whole). If you can read the code, you might be wondering why the formula is so long...
The reason for this is because in Pine Script, the erf function doesn't exist. You see, the formula for normal distribution is: f(x) = (1/sqrt(2pi))*e^(-xx/2), assuming of course that the standard deviation = 1 and mu (mean) = 1. The next step is to take the integral of this formula in order to find the area under f(x). The problem is that I found the integral, F(x), of the normal distribution formula to be equal to F(x) = erf(x/sqrt(2))/2...and the erf function cannot be directly computed into Pinescript.
So I developed a solution...why not estimate the integral function? So that's exactly what I did using a technique involving the Taylor series. The Taylor series is an algebraic function that allows you to create a new function that can estimate the existing function. On a graph, the new function has the same values as the existing one, the only difference is that it uses a differnt formula, in this case, a formula that makes it possible to compute the integral. The disadvantage of using this new formula is that it is super long and if you want it to better represent the original integral over a wider range of x-values, you have to make it longer.
Signal Interpretion:
The hotter the colour, the more likely price will reach your specified distance.
The 2 values of PAI in the bottom window represent probability & average probability of your specifed distance geting hit.
Applications:
Stop loss placement---
This indicator is useful because it gives you an idea of the likelihood that a stop loss at a particular distance away from price (in ATRs) will be hit over a period of time specified. This is helpful in placing stop losses.
Options trading---
PAI can also be used in options trading. For example, you are using a strangle options strategy, and you want to make sure that price stays within the Strangle's profit range. So you only trade when PAI presents a low probability value of moving at a particular distance in ATRs over n periods.
Anyhow, I hope you guys like it. Enjoy! and hit that like button for me :)

Noro's RiskChannel StrategyIndicator
The Donchian price channel is used. There are 2 methods available to close the position. The user can choose a method.
Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org
Strategy #1 (stop-loss type = channel)
Old classic trading strategy, using breakouts of the Donchan price channel.
If the price is above the price channel top line, open the long position (and close the short position)
If the price is below the lower line of the price channel, open the short position (and close the long position)
It is recommended that you all use market stop orders.
Strategy #2 (stop-loss type = center)
This metod is better. This method is recommended.
The central line (red) is the middle of the Donchian price channel. Used to close any positions.
If the price is higher than the price channel top line, open the long position.
If the price is lower than the lower line of the price channel, open the short position.
If the price has crossed the central line of the channel, close any position.
It is recommended that you all use market stop orders.
Risk
There are 2 options. Risk for long positions and risk for short positions. This is the size of the possible loss. Order size depends on the possible loss and is calculated for each position.
For
BTC/USD, BTC/USDT, XBT/USD, ETH/USD, ETH/USD (need USD!)
Timeframes: 1h and length of price channel = 50 bars or 4h and length of price channel = 12

Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders
I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA).
Seems they're so many alternatives out there.
I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD.
More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe.
I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^
Convergence is my BEST friend
An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend.
So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market.
Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results.
My indicators fav cocktail is mixing :
1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation)
2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation)
3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry.
The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :)
Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify.
It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside.
NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past.
I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave
But my backtest sir...
Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results.
Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best)
Last few words
Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun)
They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses.
No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...)
Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week

SSL Channel BFSSL Channel Close is a great all-rounder based on 2 Simple Moving Averages, one of recent Highs, one of recent Lows.
The calculation prints a channel on the chart consisting of 2 lines.
This strategy gives a Long signal when price closes above the top of these 2 lines and a Short signal when it closes below the bottom.
Trading in choppy sideways markets can compound losses so we avoid that here by using recent ATR to determine relative volatility and refrain from trading when the background is White.
We use a basic 3% stop loss.
Charted on XBT/USD Bitmex Daily chart.
INSTRUCTIONS
Green = long
Red = short
White Background= No trade
The way I have set this strategy up is that if we get stopped out but we are still in a green or red background, we re-enter. Closing the trade only occurs on an opposing signal or if we get stopped out.
Forex Master (EUR/USD)ATTENTION:
This is a symmetrical algorithm designed only for trading EUR/USD on the 1h time frame. For other currency pairs and time frames, you need to re-calibrate the RSI-EMAs as well as the profit targets and stop losses.

Crypto Institutional Liquidity Sweep StrategyStrategy Overview: Institutional Liquidity Sweep & Trend Convergence
This strategy is a high-conviction systematic trading framework designed to exploit "stop-runs" and liquidity grabs within a dominant market trend. It combines institutional price action concepts with mathematical filters to ensure entries occur only when trend direction, volatility, and liquidity align.
1. The Trend Framework (EMA 200 Filter)
The foundation of the strategy is the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This acts as a "Directional North Star."
Long Bias: Trades are only considered when price is above the EMA 200.
Short Bias: Trades are only considered when price is below the EMA 200.
Buffer Logic: An optional percentage buffer can be applied to avoid "choppy" entries when price is hugging the moving average.
2. The Entry Trigger (Liquidity Sweeps)
The strategy identifies Institutional Liquidity Pools using Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Pivots).
The Sweep: The system waits for price to pierce below a recent structural low (Bullish Sweep) or above a recent structural high (Bearish Sweep).
The Trap: It then monitors for a "reclaim" where price quickly rejects the level. This suggests that the breach was not a breakout, but a hunt for stop-losses to fuel a move in the opposite direction.
3. Secondary Confirmation Filters
To maximize the win rate, the strategy requires a Secondary Filter to confirm market health (User selectable):
V olatility Oscillator: Ensures the market is in an Expansion Phase. It requires the oscillator to be rising, indicating that momentum is behind the reversal.
Smart Trendlines (Structure): Uses Linear Regression Slope to ensure the immediate micro-structure is aligned with the macro-trend.
4. Entry Confirmation (The Reversal Candle)
A trade is not triggered simply because a level was swept. The strategy requires a Reversal Confirmation:
Price Location: The candle must close in the upper 40% (for longs) or lower 40% (for shorts) of its total range.
Directional Body: The candle must close bullish for longs and bearish for shorts, confirming that buyers or sellers have seized control of the bar.
5. Risk Management (Fixed 1:2 RR)
The strategy prioritizes capital preservation through an ATR-based (Average True Range) risk model:
Static Exits: Upon entry, the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated and locked. They do not move, ensuring a mathematically pure 1:2 Reward-to-Risk ratio.
Volatility Adjusted: The distance of the stop loss is determined by the ATR, meaning the strategy automatically widens stops during high volatility and tightens them during calm periods.
Combined Advanced Blueprint + Hybrid Stop + GravityCombined Advanced Blueprint + Hybrid Stop + Gravity
Overview
This indicator is a comprehensive "Swiss Army Knife" trading system that combines the classic Traders Reality Blueprint (Moving Averages & Vector Zones) with advanced institutional volume detection (Gravity Squeeze & Sharks) and a Hybrid Trailing Stop for trade management.
It is designed to identify institutional footprints, trend direction, supply/demand zones, and volatility contractions in a single, all-in-one overlay.
🚀 Key Features
1. Gravity Squeeze & Shark Detection (Institutional Volume)
This module detects anomalies in volume and price action to identify where "Smart Money" is stepping in.
Shark Icons (🦈): Appear when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) detects significant accumulation during low volatility periods. This often signals a "defense" of a price level by institutions.
Shark Support (Blood) Zones: When a Shark is detected, a red box is drawn from the low of the candle. This represents an institutional "line in the sand." If price closes below this box, the zone is invalidated (broken).
Gravity Squeeze (⚡): Indicates a contraction in volatility (ATR compression), suggesting an explosive move is imminent.
Coils (🌀) & Hammers (🔨): Identifies specific price action patterns occurring on high relative volume.
2. The Blueprint Moving Averages
Includes the standard Traders Reality moving average sequence to identify trend state and dynamic support/resistance.
Red (8 EMA): Immediate trend.
White (21 EMA): Short-term trend (The "Baseline").
Blue (34 EMA): Trend confirmation.
Indigo (55 EMA) & Purple (89 EMA): Mid-term trend.
Orange (50 SMA) & Dark Orange (200 SMA): Major institutional levels (Golden/Death Cross).
Visual Crossovers: Arrows and shapes appear for 8/21 crosses, 8/34 crosses, and the 50/200 cross.
3. PVSRA (Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis)
Colors trade bars based on volume relative to the average, highlighting hidden liquidity.
Green/Red Bars: Volume is ≥ 200% of the average. (Climax action).
Blue/Violet Bars: Volume is ≥ 150% of the average.
Grey Bars: Average/Low volume.
Vector Zones: Automatically plots zones based on these high-volume candles to show where significant business was transacted.
4. Hybrid Trailing Stop
A volatility-based stop-loss system designed to keep you in the trend longer.
Calculation: Uses a combination of ATR (Average True Range) and manually input Implied Volatility (IV) to calculate a safe distance from price.
Visual: A Fuchsia line that trails behind price. When price closes across this line, the trend structure is considered broken.
5. Inflection Zones (Supply & Demand)
Auto-Drawing: Identifies Swing Highs and Swing Lows to draw Supply (Blue) and Demand (Red) boxes.
BOS (Break of Structure): When price breaks through a zone, the box is removed or converted, helping keep the chart clean.
6. Pivot Points & VWAP
Pivots: Displays multitimeframe pivots (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.) including Traditional, Fibonacci, and Camarilla calculations.
VWAP: Includes Standard Deviation bands (1, 2, and 3 SD) anchored to Session, Week, Month, or even Earnings/Splits.
7. Keltner Channels & RSI Triggers
Entry Signals: Plots circles on the chart when RSI enters extreme zones (Overbought/Oversold) while price is interacting with the Keltner Channel bands.
🛠 Settings & Configuration
Gravity Squeeze & Sharks
Enable: Toggle the overlay on/off.
Min Volume: Set the threshold for volume analysis (Default: 300k).
Max ADX: Filters out signals if the trend is already too exhausted.
Inflection Zones
Swing Length: Sensitivity of the swing high/low detection.
History to Keep: How many historic zones to display before deleting old ones.
Pivot Levels
Timeframe: Auto-selects based on your chart, or force specific timeframes (e.g., Daily Pivots on a 15m chart).
Type: Choose between Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, etc.
Trailing Stop
Multiplier: Adjust how "loose" or "tight" the stop is (Default: 1.5 ATR).
IV %: Manually input the annual Implied Volatility for the asset for higher precision.
🎯 How to Trade (Strategy Ideas)
1. The Shark Defense:
Look for a Shark Icon (🦈).
Watch the red "Blood" box form.
Long Entry: If price retests the box and holds (does not close below it), this is a high-probability buy zone.
Stop Loss: A candle close below the red box.
2. The 8/21 & 8/34 Cross:
Use the Arrows generated by the moving averages.
Combine with Vector Candles: If you get a Bullish Cross (Up Arrow) immediately following a Green/Blue vector candle, the move is supported by volume.
3. The Squeeze Breakout:
Look for the Squeeze Icon (⚡) indicating low volatility.
Wait for the Hybrid Trailing Stop line to flip (e.g., price crosses above the Fuchsia line) to confirm the breakout direction.
Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for automation:
8/21 Bullish/Bearish Cross
8/34 Bullish/Bearish Cross

ZERO LEVEL ENTRY BY SIDDAM RAJUOverview The Intraday Low Tracker is a specialized price-action strategy designed to catch potential reversals or pullbacks from new intraday lows. Unlike standard indicators that repaint or give premature signals, this tool uses a strict "Wait & Break" logic. It identifies a new low, waits for a confirmation candle, and only triggers an entry if the market proves strength by breaking above that confirmation level.
How It Works (The Logic)
Identifies the Low: The indicator continuously tracks the market to find the lowest low of the current day.
The "After Candle" Setup: Once a new low is established, the indicator waits for the immediate next candle (the "After Candle") to close.
The Setup Zone:
Green Line (Entry): Drawn at the High of the "After Candle."
Red Line (Stop Loss): Drawn at the Day Low.
The Trigger (Strict Entry):
A signal is NOT counted just because lines are drawn.
The system enters "WAITING FOR BREAKOUT" mode.
An entry is valid ONLY if price actively breaks ABOVE the Green Entry Line.
Trade Management: Once triggered, the trade remains active until it hits the user-defined Target (Blue Line) or the Stop Loss (Red Line).
Key Features
Strict Breakout Logic: Prevents false entries by requiring price to actually move above the setup candle.
Live Dashboard: A clean table on the chart displays:
Status: "Scanning", "Waiting for Breakout", or "Trade Active".
Levels: Exact prices for Entry, Target, and Stop Loss.
Statistics: Tracks "Total Entries", "Targets Hit", and "SL Hit" for the current session.
Visual Clarity:
Green Entry Label: Appears ABOVE the confirmation candle.
Red SL Label: Appears BELOW the confirmation candle.
Dynamic Lines: Lines automatically update or vanish if a setup is invalidated (e.g., if a new lower low is made before entry).
Settings
Target Profit %: Set your desired percentage gain (default is 10%).
Visual Customization: Change line colors, styles, and widths to fit your chart theme.
Table Size: Adjust the dashboard size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your intraday timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute).
Wait for the Green/Red lines and the "ENTRY" label to appear.
Do not enter immediately. Watch the status table.
Enter the trade only when price crosses the Green Line.
Exit at the Blue Target Line or if price falls back to the Red SL Line.

Smart SafeZone Stops [MarkitTick]💡 This script represents a sophisticated evolution of volatility-based trailing stop methodologies. It is designed to assist traders in managing trend-following positions by dynamically adjusting stop-loss levels based on market noise, directional momentum, and volume flows. Unlike static trailing stops that move by a fixed percentage or simple ATR multiples, this tool calculates the "safe zone" by analyzing how far price has penetrated against the trend over a specific lookback period, offering a granular approach to risk management that adapts to changing market conditions.
✨ Originality and Utility
The primary utility of this indicator lies in its ability to filter out market noise while remaining tight enough to protect profits during strong trends. While the classic SafeZone concept (popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder) is effective, this script introduces several modern enhancements that increase its robustness:
● Dynamic ADX Integration Standard SafeZone stops use a fixed multiplier. This script integrates the Average Directional Index (ADX) to gauge trend strength. When the trend is strong, the stop tightens (Aggressive Multiplier) to lock in profits rapidly. When the trend is weak or choppy, the stop widens (Conservative Multiplier) to prevent premature shakeouts. ● Volume-Weighted Noise Price movement on low volume is often considered "noise," while high-volume movement signifies conviction. This script optionally weights the noise calculation by Relative Volume. A downward spike on low volume will affect the stop level less than a downward spike on high volume.
● 3-Day Smoothing Mechanism To prevent the stop line from becoming too jagged or reacting to single-bar anomalies, the script applies a 3-day smoothing algorithm. It utilizes the "worst-case" scenario of the last three calculated stop levels, ensuring the stop only moves when the trend structure genuinely shifts.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The underlying logic operates on a "Ratchet" mechanism, meaning the stop line can only move in the direction of the trade (up for longs, down for shorts) and never retraces until a trend reversal occurs.
● Directional Noise Calculation The script separates market noise into two components: Downside Penetration (for Longs): The distance the price dips below the previous bar's low. Upside Penetration (for Shorts): The distance the price spikes above the previous bar's high. The average of these penetrations is calculated over the Noise Lookback Period .
● The SafeZone Formula The raw stop level is derived as follows: Long Stop = Previous Low - (Average Downside Noise × Multiplier) Short Stop = Previous High + (Average Upside Noise × Multiplier)
● Adaptive Multiplier Logic If Dynamic ADX is enabled: If ADX > Strong Threshold: Use Aggressive Multiplier (e.g., 1.5x). If ADX < Weak Threshold: Use Conservative Multiplier (e.g., 3.5x). Otherwise: Use the Base Safety Coefficient.
● Exhaustion Detection The script calculates the distance between the current Close price and the Active Stop. If this distance exceeds a specific multiple of the ATR (Average True Range), it flags a "Mean Reversion" or "Exhaustion" warning, suggesting price has extended too far from equilibrium.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator plots distinct visual elements to guide decision-making without cluttering the chart excessively.
● Trailing Stop Lines Green Line (Solid): Represents the SafeZone Long Stop. This line appears below price during an uptrend. As long as price closes above this line, the bullish bias is intact. Red Line (Solid): Represents the SafeZone Short Stop. This line appears above price during a downtrend. A close above this line signals a potential short exit or reversal.
● Trend Signals Green Triangle (Below Bar): Marks the "Bull Start." This occurs when the price crosses above the Trend Filter EMA and the trend logic flips to bullish. Red Triangle (Above Bar): Marks the "Bear Start." Indicates the start of a downtrend sequence.
● Exhaustion Warnings Yellow Labels (⚠️): These appear when price has extended significantly away from the stop line (based on the ATR Exhaustion Multiplier). This is not an immediate sell signal but a warning that the trend may be overextended and a pullback is probable.
● MTF Consensus Cloud Background Color: If enabled, the chart background changes color to reflect the Higher Timeframe (HTF) trend. Green Background: Current trend matches HTF Uptrend. Red Background: Current trend matches HTF Downtrend. Gray Background: Trends are mismatched (Consolidation/Conflict).
● Quantitative Dashboard A table located in the top-right corner displays real-time statistics: Trend: Current state (BULLISH/BEARISH). Age: Number of bars since the trend began. Stop Price: Exact price level of the trailing stop. Risk %: The percentage distance from the current Close to the Stop. If this exceeds 3%, the text turns red to highlight elevated risk. Active Mult: The current multiplier being used (Dynamic or Fixed). ADX State: Shows if the trend is Strong, Weak, or Normal.
📖 How to Use
1. Entry Timing Wait for a Trend Switch signal (Triangle). For a long entry (Green Triangle), ensure the price is above the Trend Baseline (EMA). Ideally, look for confluence with the MTF Cloud (Green Background).
2. Position Management Once in a trade, use the Trailing Stop Line as your hard exit or invalidation point. Do not manually move the stop away from price; the script automatically "ratchets" the stop tighter as the trend progresses.
3. Taking Profits Use the "Exhaustion Warnings" (⚠️) as opportunities to scale out of positions. When price moves parabolically away from the stop line, the probability of a snap-back increases.
4. Managing Chop If the dashboard shows "ADX State: WEAK," expect the stop line to remain wider. This allows the asset "room to breathe" without stopping you out on random volatility.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
The script is highly customizable to fit different asset classes (Crypto, Forex, Stocks).
● Trend Definitions Trend Filter (EMA Length): Determines the baseline trend bias (Default: 22). Price must be above this EMA to initiate a long calculation.
● Noise Calculation Noise Lookback Period: The number of bars used to calculate average penetration (Default: 10). Base Safety Coefficient: The standard multiplier applied to the noise average (Default: 2.5). Higher values = wider stops. Use Volume Weighting: Enables the volume-adjustment logic. Use 3-Day Smoothing: Recommended keeping this TRUE to avoid stop-hunts.
● Dynamic Multiplier (ADX) Enable Dynamic ADX: Toggles the adaptive multiplier. Strong/Weak Thresholds: The ADX levels that trigger aggressive or conservative multipliers.
● Multi-Timeframe Consensus Higher Timeframe: Select the TF for the cloud background (e.g., Daily or Weekly).
● Exhaustion Warning ATR Multiplier: Defines how far price must be from the stop to trigger a warning (Default: 3.0).
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The "Smart SafeZone" indicator is grounded in the statistical analysis of market noise versus signal.
● Theory of Noise Penetration Conventional stops often use Standard Deviation (Bollinger Bands) or Average True Range (Keltner Channels/Chandelier Stops). While effective, these measures assume volatility is symmetrical. This script adopts the view that directional volatility matters more. In an uptrend, upside volatility is "good" signal, while downside volatility is "noise." By explicitly calculating the average downside penetration (Low - Low), the script isolates the specific counter-trend force acting on the asset. ● Volume-Weighted Price Analysis (VWPA) The inclusion of volume weighting draws upon Dow Theory principles, which state that volume must confirm the trend. Math: Penetration × (Volume / AverageVolume) This formula asserts that a price drop on low volume is statistically less significant than a drop on high volume. By dampening the impact of low-volume moves, the stop becomes more resistant to liquidity vacuums and algorithmic stop-hunts.
● Trend Efficiency (ADX) The integration of J. Welles Wilder’s ADX (Average Directional Index) adds a dimension of Trend Efficiency. High ADX values indicate a highly efficient trend with little retracement. Mathematically, this justifies a lower standard deviation (or noise multiplier) for the stop, as the probability of a deep retracement without a trend change is lower in high-momentum environments.

[TehThomas] - Order Blocks█ OVERVIEW
This Order Blocks indicator identifies institutional-level support and resistance zones using fractal pattern recognition combined with Fair Value Gap (FVG) filtering. Order blocks represent areas where large institutional orders have been placed, creating significant price reactions when retested. This indicator uses a 5-bar fractal pattern to detect market structure breaks and highlights the last bearish or bullish candle before a strong impulse move.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Fractal-Based Detection: Uses 5-candle fractal patterns to identify key market structure highs and lows
- FVG Filtering: Optional Fair Value Gap confirmation ensures order blocks are followed by true market imbalances
- Automatic Mitigation: Order blocks are automatically removed when price breaks through them
- Overlap Prevention: Prevents cluttered charts by avoiding overlapping order block zones
- Customizable Display: Full control over colors, labels, line heights (body/wick), and maximum blocks shown
- Dual Polarity: Detects both bullish (OB+) and bearish (OB-) order blocks independently
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator scans price action for fractal patterns where the middle candle forms a local extreme (highest high or lowest low among 5 bars). When price breaks above a fractal high or below a fractal low, the script identifies the last opposing candle in the impulse move as the order block.
For bearish order blocks, it finds the highest bullish candle before a fractal low is broken, marking institutional selling pressure. For bullish order blocks, it locates the lowest bearish candle before a fractal high is breached, indicating institutional buying.
When FVG filtering is enabled, the indicator confirms that a Fair Value Gap (a 3-candle imbalance where price leaves an unfilled gap) occurred within the specified distance from the order block. This combination increases the probability that institutional traders are present in these zones.

█ HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
2. Configure settings based on your trading timeframe and style
3. Watch for OB+ labels (bullish order blocks) as potential support zones where price may bounce
4. Watch for OB- labels (bearish order blocks) as potential resistance zones where price may reverse
5. Wait for price retracement to the order block zone before taking entries
6. Use confirmation signals like volume spikes or reversal patterns at the order block
7. Place stop loss just outside the order block boundary to manage risk
8. Monitor mitigation: Order blocks disappear when price breaks through them completely
█ TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
Bullish Order Block Strategy
Wait for a market structure shift from bearish to bullish. When price creates a bullish impulse breaking a fractal high, identify the OB+ zone. Enter long positions when price retraces to test the bullish order block, placing stop loss 10-20 pips below the zone's low. Target previous highs or resistance levels.
Bearish Order Block Strategy
Monitor for market structure shift from bullish to bearish. After price creates a bearish impulse breaking a fractal low, locate the OB- zone. Enter short positions when price retraces to test the bearish order block, placing stop loss 10-20 pips above the zone's high. Target previous lows or support levels.
FVG-Confirmed Entries
Enable FVG filtering to only display order blocks validated by Fair Value Gaps. These aligned setups increase probability as they combine institutional order placement with market inefficiencies. Trade retracements to these high-confluence zones for better risk-reward ratios.

- FVG filtering may reduce the number of signals but increases quality
- Fractal patterns require 5 bars to form, causing a 2-bar delay in detection
- Works optimally on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for institutional footprints
- This indicator does not guarantee profitable trades; always use stop losses
- Past performance of order blocks does not predict future results
- Compatible with other ICT concepts like liquidity sweeps and market structure
Profit Punch: Risk & Target Planner (ATR + Fixed R)Profit Punch: Risk & Target Planner (ATR + Fixed R)
This indicator is a complete trade planning tool designed to visualize your Risk (R) and Reward levels instantly. Whether you use a volatility-based strategy (ATR) or precise manual levels, this tool draws your roadmap directly on the chart.
It solves the problem of calculating "R-Multiples" manually and ensures every trade plan is consistent.
Key Features
1. Smart Risk Calculation
Auto Mode (ATR): Uses the stock's daily volatility (ATR) to automatically suggest a logical Stop Loss.
Manual Mode: Lets you type in your exact Stop Loss price (e.g., below a recent low), and the tool automatically adjusts your Profit Targets to match that specific risk.
2. Hybrid Targeting (The "Nuance")
You can set a tight manual stop but keep your profit targets based on daily volatility (ATR). This allows for "Hybrid" setups where you risk a small amount (tight stop) but aim for a standard volatility move (ATR targets).
3. Backtesting Friendly
Use the "Target Date" feature to apply the tool to any past candle. It will calculate the targets based on what the volatility was on that specific day , allowing you to accurately review past trades.
4. Clean & Customizable
Editable Labels: Rename "1R" to "Goal 1" or "Take Profit".
Clean Look: Toggle any line on/off to keep your chart simple.
Timeframe Independent: Calculations are always anchored to Daily data for consistency, even if you are viewing a 5-minute chart.
How to Use
Step 1: Add to Chart. The lines will appear on the latest bar by default.
Step 2: Set Entry. In Settings, check "Use Manual Entry" to type your exact buy price, or leave unchecked to use the closing price.
Step 3: Set Stop. Choose "Auto (ATR)" for a volatility-based stop, or "Manual Price" to type in your specific stop level.
Step 4: Visualize. The tool draws your 1R, 3R, 5R, and 7R targets instantly.
Settings Guide
Risk Factor: Multiplier for the ATR calculation (Default is 1.5).
Target Base: Choose whether profit targets are multiples of your Stop Distance (Classic) or Fixed ATR (Volatility).
Custom Labels: Change the text displayed on the chart (e.g., "Safe Exit" instead of "1R").
Who is this for?
This tool is built for swing traders, educators, and anyone who uses "R-Multiples" (Risk Units) to manage their portfolio. It is especially useful for creating consistent trade plan screenshots.

VIX Crossing# VIX Crossing Strategy
## Overview
VIX Crossing is a quantitative trading strategy that combines volatility signals from the VIX index with trend confirmation from the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) to generate long entry signals. The strategy employs multiple exit conditions to manage risk and lock in profits systematically.
## Strategy Logic
### Entry Condition
The strategy initiates a long position when:
- **VIX Crossunder**: The VIX closing price crosses below its 5-bar simple moving average (SMA), signaling a decrease in implied volatility
- **AND NDX Confirmation**: The Nasdaq-100 closes above its 21-bar exponential moving average (EMA), confirming uptrend strength
This dual-signal approach reduces false entries by requiring both volatility normalization and positive market momentum.
### Exit Conditions
The strategy automatically closes positions when any of the following conditions are met:
1. **VIX Crossover (Volatility Exit)**: VIX closes above its SMA, indicating rising volatility
2. **Time-Based Exit**: Position is force-closed after 10 bars from entry, preventing prolonged drawdowns
3. **Take-Profit Exit**: Position closes when unrealized profit exceeds $3,000 per contract
4. **Stop-Loss Exit**: Position closes when unrealized loss exceeds $1,500 per contract
Exit conditions are evaluated each bar while the position is open, with explicit logging of the exit reason for trade analysis.
## Configuration Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| VIX SMA Length | 5 | Smoothing period for VIX volatility baseline |
| NDX EMA Length | 21 | Smoothing period for Nasdaq-100 trend confirmation |
| Force Close After X Bars | 10 | Maximum holding period in bars |
| TP Amount per Contract | $3,000 | Profit target per contract |
| SL Amount per Contract | $1,500 | Loss limit per contract |
## Risk Management Features
- **Position Sizing**: Capital allocation based on profit/loss per contract rather than fixed units, allowing for scalable risk
- **Dual Risk Controls**: Combined time-based and price-based exits prevent extended exposure
- **Profit Asymmetry**: 2:1 profit-to-loss ratio encourages risk/reward discipline
- **Contract-Based Accounting**: Profit targets and stop losses scale with position size
## Capital Requirements
- **Initial Capital**: $50,000
- **Commission**: $3 per contract (cash-based)
- **Instrument**: Designed for index-based derivatives or equities with liquid options markets
## Technical Indicators Used
- Simple Moving Average (SMA) for VIX smoothing
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for NDX trend detection
- Crossover/Crossunder detection for signal generation
## Underlying Assumptions
1. VIX crossunder events represent mean-reversion opportunities in Nasdaq-heavy portfolios
2. NDX EMA confirmation filters out uncorrelated volatility spikes
3. 10-bar holding period aligns with typical mean-reversion timeframes
4. Contract-based profit targets accommodate varying leverage levels
Key Zone$ - Support and Resistance0DTE Bounce Zones (6M) — Support & Resistance with VWAP, Volume, and Risk Management
This indicator is built for intraday and 0DTE options trading, focused on high-quality bounce and rejection setups at historically proven support and resistance zones.
It automatically identifies key zones from six months of historical price action and waits for real-time confirmation before signaling CALL or PUT opportunities. The goal is to reduce noise, avoid weak bounces, and provide clear, rules-based trade structure.
====================================================================
CORE FEATURES
====================================================================
Historical Support & Resistance Zones (6 Months)
Zones are built using 15-minute pivot highs and lows.
A zone must be tested at least 3 times to be considered valid.
Nearby zones are merged automatically to reduce clutter.
Zones extend forward in time and update dynamically.
Support zones are shown in green, resistance zones in red.
These are higher-quality structural levels, not same-day levels.
====================================================================
0DTE-Focused Entry Logic
Signals only trigger when price interacts with a confirmed zone and shows a strong rejection candle.
Signals are limited to high-probability trading windows only.
Market Open: 9:30–10:45 ET
Market Close: 3:00–4:00 ET
This avoids midday chop and focuses on periods with real momentum.
====================================================================
VWAP Confirmation (Strict)
CALL setups require a VWAP reclaim.
PUT setups require a VWAP loss.
This aligns trades with institutional order flow instead of counter-trend noise.
====================================================================
MACD Momentum Filter
MACD histogram behavior is used to confirm momentum direction and avoid taking bounces against the prevailing move.
====================================================================
ATR Candle Strength Filter
The signal candle must be large enough relative to ATR.
This filters out weak or indecisive candles that often fail with 0DTE.
====================================================================
Advanced Volume Confirmation (Relative Volume)
Relative Volume (RVOL) is used instead of raw volume.
Different RVOL thresholds are applied for CALLS versus PUTS.
Higher RVOL is required for PUTS due to downside urgency.
Lower RVOL is allowed for CALLS due to grind-up behavior.
Separate RVOL thresholds are used for the market open and market close.
This ensures signals only occur when real participation is present.
====================================================================
Built-In Risk Management (2:1 Reward/Risk)
Every signal automatically calculates an entry, stop loss, and target.
Stop loss is based on the zone edge with an ATR buffer.
Targets default to a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Entry, stop, and target levels are drawn directly on the chart and included in alerts.
====================================================================
Smart Alerts (CALLS & PUTS)
Alerts trigger only when all conditions are met.
Alerts include trade direction, entry price, stop price, target price, and RVOL information.
Alerts are designed for 5-minute confirmation trading.
To use alerts, select “Any alert() function call” when creating the alert.
====================================================================
INTENDED USE
====================================================================
0DTE options trading.
5-minute chart confirmation.
Index ETFs and liquid equities such as SPY, QQQ, IWM, and SPX.
Traders who want aggressive entries with confirmation.
Traders who value structure, volume, and risk control.
====================================================================
NOTES
====================================================================
This is not a prediction tool.
Signals require discipline and confirmation.
Best results come from trading only the highest-quality setups.
