Linear Regression Channel - Auto Volume BasedBased on oryginal TV indicator BUT with a little twist. ;)
I really like the regression channel - but the problem is that the length needs to be always manually adjusted.
In this script I try to solve this issue.
This is modified version on TV indicator - Linear Regression Channel.
The main difference is that now you don't get static length - it is automatically adjuested to the recent price action (determined by highest volume in last 300 bars).
Trendfollowing
Donchian Channel Strategy IdeaThis strategy idea is a variation of the "Donchian Channel" trading strategy. It is built with a highest-high band, a lowest-low band, and a baseline which is average the highest-high and the lowest-low bands. This strategy is very useful in trending instruments on 1W and 1D timeframes. This is the implementation used in the QuantCT app.
You can set the operation mode to be Long/Short or long-only.
You also can set a fixed stop-loss or ignore it so that the strategy acts solely based on entry and exit signals.
Trade Idea
When the close price breaks up the previous highest-high, it is a long signal, the market is considered rising (bullish), and the plotted indicator becomes green. Long positions are held until the close price crosses under the baseline.
When the close price breaks down the previous lowest-low, it is a short signal, the market is considered falling (bearish), and the plotted indicator becomes red. Short positions are held until the close price crosses above the baseline.
Otherwise, if we have no position in the market, the market is considered ranging, and the plotted indicator becomes orange.
Entry/Exit rules
Enter LONG if the close price breaks up the previous highest-high (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes green).
Exit LONG if the close price crosses under the baseline (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes orange).
Enter SHORT if the close price breaks down the previous lowest-low (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes red).
Exit SHORT if the close price crosses above the baseline (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes orange).
CAUTION
It's just a bare trading idea - a profitable one. However, you can enhance this idea and turn it into a full trading strategy with enhanced risk/money management and optimizing it, and you ABSOLUTELY should do this!
DON'T insist on using Long/Short mode on all instruments! This strategy performs much better in Long-Only mode on many (NOT All) trending instruments (Like BTC, ETH, etc.).
8X Trend ATR SAR Dingue V58X Trend ATR SAR Dingue V5 - This is the updated version for Pine Script 5.
8x indicator into 1 :
2x ATR indicator - 3x Trend indicator - 3x SAR indicator
Trends are helpful to spot reversal and support resistance, especially on bigger time frames.
This indicator gives you a global view of various trends all at once. You can easily turn them On or Off as to not clog the screen.
Each trend is also color-coded to visualize quickly the position of the price compared to it.
You can customize lengths, adjust line sizes, have the start of a new trend marked with a circle, fill in colors.

Retail Insider Trend Following (HTF ONLY)Before I begin, here is a disclaimer: None of this is financial advice, and I'll recommend you to do your own research or talk to your financial advisor, if you want to use this. And also make sure you understand the risks properly before taking any trades. This particular indicator is a work of experiment, and I am publishing the optimized code. Please leave a comment below if you have any queries.
As per the logic, I am taking the highest point in a particular time window (used the in built ta.highest function) , and the lowest point in a particular time window (used the ta.lowest), and averaged it using the in built function (
RMA(which is the B33 Mean.)
For the offset, I am simply calculating and adding some values (which can also be input by the user.)
and this user input is in percentage.
So if you observe the lines, the Red line in between is the mean, and the Yellow lines are the offsets. (Everything can be changed in settings)
In simple layperson terms, if the price goes above the Red line, it's an uptrend,
and if the price goes below the Red line, it is in a downtrend.
Now I just wanted to keep the offset because I wanted more confirmation before actually entering a trade. (the offset can be changed again, from the settings, and the offset is in percentage)
A lot of times, you will see that the price is kind of going sideways, where, a lot of traders get trapped, as there is no clear trend.
So in order to eliminate that choppy price action and stay out, I'm using this offset. This should probably save a lot of bad trades.
So basically, if the price goes and closes above the higher offset, it will confirm a trend change, and a possible bull market.
Similarly, if the price goes and closes below the lower offset, it will confirm the end of the bull market, or a corrective phase, or a bear market.
A few things to note, however...
If you change the timeframe, you will see that the lines are not shifting/changing that much. This is because, it will consider the highest and the lowest points and average it.
So, basically, if you do the math, you will understand why,... and this logic is purely for a higher timeframe analysis/confirmation.
I'll personally recommend this kind of a setup for swing trading/confirmation on the daily or the 4H charts, mostly for longer timeframes. (If you are on the pro/pro+ or premium, you can try out 6H or 12H timeframes as well)
If you are looking for scalping, setups and indicators, this is not the right one.
If you liked it, don't forget to give a follow :)
ZigZag WavesHello All,
I am here with a new idea and script, " Zigzag Waves ". This indicator creates 3 Zigzags with different lengths, keeps the lengths of each zigzag wave and calculates/draws average waves for each zigzag. optionally it can reset the wave when zigzag direction changes and new highest/lowest found. And optionally it draws Exponential Moving Average(EMA) of the sum of waves. This idea is very new and at the moment there is no optimization for the Zigzag Periods. Maybe we altogether can improve the idea and find the best zigzag periods for different symbols and time frames.
Using the options You can play with the periods, add/remove EMA, set its color and reset the waves on new Highest/Lowest. As far as I see resetting the waves on new Highest/Lowest may bring better results.
if we enable "Reset the waves on new Highest/Lowest":
Using different periods and EMA length:
P.S. if you have ideas to improve this script, drop a comment under the script please.
Enjoy!
ROC PercentileRate Of Change Percentile calculates the current ROC (user defined length) as a percentile rank.
We use 2 separate arrays, one for all positive ROC values and one for all negative values within a defined lookback period. Then the current ROC value is compared to those arrays to find it's percentile ranking.
For example, a ranking of 75 means the ROC is in the 75th percentile of all POSITIVE ROC values over the lookback period.
A ranking of -80 is in the 80th percentile of all NEGATIVE ROC values over the lookback period.
Most ROC scripts use raw ROC values (or smoothed or otherwise altered), or have stochastic formula applied to them, I've not seen one that displays ROC as percentile ranking of previous positive/negative values.
What is the advantage?
Raw ROC data only gives half the picture. What we want to do is compare the ROC to previous ROC values, to give a sense of scale. Raw ROC values don't give you that context and you can only compare visually, usually limited to the number of bars you can see on your screen.
Using a percentile ranking gives us the context of current Rate of Change relative to the previous Rate of Change over a large lookback period, and not just visually but mathematically.
Why not using a long stochastic ROC? The problem with stochastics in general is that an outlier data point can ruin the data for the rest of the lookback period.
For example, imagine a huge outlier 8% ROC. The 2nd largest ROC is 4% and the 3rd largest is 2%, with all other values below this.
In this example, a stochastic ROC would display the 8% outlier as 100, the 4% as 50, the 2% as 25 and all other data would be squeezed down between 0-25.
Additionally, a value of 60 may have vastly different meaning depending on whether the lookback period contains a large outlier or not.
With a percentile ranking, that 8% outlier would still have a value of 100. But the 4% and 2% would be 99 and 98 respectively (this assumes 100 data points in the series, in reality values will usually be decimals).
This effectively flattens the curve and gives a more consistent and dependable experience, allowing you to more accurately assess the relative importance of the current ROC.
The line of circles is set at the 50 and -50 values for quick comparison.
Values > 50 represent ROC greater than 50% of previous positive ROC values.
Values < -50 represent ROC greater than 50% of previous negative ROC values.
High-Low IndexHello All,
High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent (RHP). RHP is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows. RHP => 100 * (new highs) / (new highs + new lows). High-Low Index is a 10-day Simple Moving Average of the RHP, which makes it a smoothed version of RHP. You can find many articles about High-Low Index on the net.
High-Low Index above 50 indicates that there are more new highs than new lows, and considered as Bullish.
High-Low Index below 50 indicates that there are more new lows than new highs, and considered as Bearish.
High-Low Index = 0 indicates there is no new highs (0% new highs).
High-Low Index = 100 indicates that there is at least 1 new high and no new lows.
and High-Low Index = 50 indicates that new highs and new lows is equal.
by default 40 cryptos are used in the script and shows High-Low Index for these cryptos. but you can change them as you wish. for example you can set all of them as stocks and see High-Low Index for these stocks.
You can set " Time frame " and the " Length " using the options. For example; if you set " Time frame " = 1 Week and the " Length " = 52 then it finds High-Low Index for 52weeks .
or another example; if you set " Time frame " = 1 Day and the " Length " = 22 the High-Low Indexn it finds High-Low Index for 22days.
You can enable/disable Record High Percent or Simple Moving Average of High-Low Index. Some traders use High-Low Index with its SMA, for example; High-Low Index generates a buy signal when it crosses above its moving average, and a sell signal when it crosses below its moving average.
Optionally you can see the securities in a table on the left bottom, you can change table size by usşng the options.
In the Table, for each security/cell;
=> if background is green then it has New High
=> if background is red then it has New Low
=> if background is gray then no New High, no New Low
=> if background is back then Data is not available for the security
As you can see in the screenshot below, the securities were changed and stocks are used instead of cryptos, so it calculates & shows High-Low Index for these stocks.
you can also find explanation in this screenshot:

Classic Long Term Trend Following SystemThis is a classic long term trend following system.
The breakout period is 50 days instead of 20 and the moving average crossover are 40 and 120.
The moving averages are also exponential instead of simple.
The stoploss is 4 ATRs away from the price.
Recommendations:
Donchian Channels settings > 50 days
Moving Averages > 40 and 120, 80 and 140
Important to note:
My first strategy, DC Breakout System | This is simplicity at its finest, is best used on the crypto market and this one for stocks, commodities, currencies, etc. Those markets tend to trend a lot longer than crypto do.
Trend Following with Bollinger BandsThis is a trend following system which uses the Bollinger Bands instead of the Donchian Channels.
Long position:
* Price closes above the middle line.
* The fast EMA (in this case the 40) crosses over or is above the slow one (in this case the 120)
Short position:
* Price closes below the middle line.
* The fast EMA crosses under or is below the slow one.
Stoploss:
* 4 ATRs away from the price.
Trend Following with Donchian Channels and MACDThis is a trend following system based on the Donchian Channels. Instead of using a simple moving average crossover, this system uses the MACD as the trendfilter:
Long positions:
* Price makes a new 50 day high,
* The MACD-line crosses above or is above the Signal-line.
* Both the MACD and the Signal-lines are above the zero-line.
Short positions:
* Price makes a new 50 day low,
* The MACD-line crosses below or is below the Signal-line.
* Both the MACD and the Signal-lines are below the zero-line.
Stoploss:
The initial and the trailing stoploss are 4 ATRs away from the price.
DC Breakout Strategy | This is simplicity at its finest.As the title already describes: this is a Donchian breakout strategy. This strategy, as of now, only goes long. It goes long when the price close makes a new high and the 8 day moving average is above the 32 day moving average. The strategy exits the trade if the price breaks the atr trailing stop of * 3 or the 8 day moving average crosses below the 32 day moving average.
This is simplicity at its finest.

Higher Time Frame Chart OverlayHello All,
This script gets OHLC values from any security and Higher/Same time frame you set, then creates the chart including last 10 candles. it shows Symbol name, Time Frame, Highest/Lowest level of last 10 candles and Close Price at the right side of the chart as well. Closing price text color changes by the real-time candle of the related symbol and time frame. The all this was made using the Tables in Pine and the chart location doesn't change even if you change the size of main chart window.
Almost everything can be change as you want. You can change/set:
- Colors of Body and Top/Bottom Wicks separately
- The Height of each Cell
- The Width of Body and Wicks
- The Background and Frame color
- Enable/disable Status Panel (if you disable Status Panel then only candle chart is shown)
- Location of Status Panel
- Text color and Text size
- The Background color of Status Panel
Some examples:
The info shown in Status Panel:
You can change The Height of each Cell and The Width of Body and Wicks
You can change colors:
You can change location of the chart:
If you add the script more than once then you can see the charts for different symbols and time frames: (This may slow down your chart)
If you right-click on the script and choose "Visual Order" => "Bring to front" then it will be better visually:
P.S. Using this script may slow down your chart, especially if you add it more than once
Enjoy!
Bixord: FantailVMAThis indicator is a combination of moving average and ATR indicators. The indicator stays pretty close to price and at the same time shows clear trend of asset/stock. It shows you when price is above the FantailVMA it indicates an uptrend and when price is below it indicates a downtrend otherwise.
Hope you find this indicator useful!
Happy trading..
3rd WaveHello All,
In Elliott Wave Theory, 3rd wave is not the shortest one in the waves 1/3/5 and it's usually longest one. so if we can catch it then we may get good opportunities to trade. This script finds 3rd wave experimentally. it can be also the 3rd waves in the waves 1, 3, 5, A and C. the 3rd wave should have greater volume than other waves, the script can check its volume and compare with the volumes of the waves 1 and 2 optionally.
Pine Team released Pine version 5! This script was developed in v5 and it uses Library feature of Pine v5 for the zigzag functions. This script is also an example for the Pine developers who learn Pine v5 and Libraries.
Options:
Zigzag Period: is the length that is used to calculate highest/lowest and the zigzag waves
Min/Max Retracements: is the retracement rates to check the wave 2 according to wave 1. for example; if min/max values are 0.500-0.618 then wave 2 must be minimum 0.500 of wave 1 and maximum 0.618 of wave 1.
Check Volume Support: is an option to compare the volumes of1. 2. and . waves. if you enable this option then the script checks their volume and 3rd wave volume must be greater then 1 and 2
there are 4 options for the targets. you can enable/disable and change their levels. targets are calculated using length of wave 1.
Options to show breakout zone, zigzag, wave 1 and 2.
and some options for the colors.
The Library that is used in this script:
P.S. This is an experimental work and can be improved. So do not hesitate to drop your comments under the script ;)
Enjoy!
CreateAndShowZigzagLibrary "CreateAndShowZigzag"
Functions in this library creates/updates zigzag array and shows the zigzag
getZigzag(zigzag, prd, max_array_size) calculates zigzag using period
Parameters:
zigzag : is the float array for the zigzag (should be defined like "var zigzag = array.new_float(0)"). each zigzag points contains 2 element: 1. price level of the zz point 2. bar_index of the zz point
prd : is the length to calculate zigzag waves by highest(prd)/lowest(prd)
max_array_size : is the maximum number of elements in zigzag, keep in mind each zigzag point contains 2 elements, so for example if it's 10 then zigzag has 10/2 => 5 zigzag points
Returns: dir that is the current direction of the zigzag
showZigzag(zigzag, oldzigzag, dir, upcol, dncol) this function shows zigzag
Parameters:
zigzag : is the float array for the zigzag (should be defined like "var zigzag = array.new_float(0)"). each zigzag points contains 2 element: 1. price level of the zz point 2. bar_index of the zz point
oldzigzag : is the float array for the zigzag, you get copy the zigzag array to oldzigzag by "oldzigzag = array.copy(zigzay)" before calling get_zigzag() function
dir : is the direction of the zigzag wave
upcol : is the color of the line if zigzag direction is up
dncol : is the color of the line if zigzag direction is down
Returns: null
Three EMAs Trend-following Strategy (by Coinrule)Trend-following strategies are great because they give you the peace of mind that you're trading in line with the market.
However, by definition, you're always following . That means you're always a bit later than your want to be. The main challenges such strategies face are:
Confirming that there is a trend
Following the trend, hopefully, early enough to catch the majority of the move
Hopping off the trade when it seems to have run its course
This EMA Trend-following strategy attempts to address such challenges while allowing for a dynamic stop loss.
ENTRY
The trading system requires three crossovers on the same candle to confirm that a new trend is beginning:
Price crossing over EMA 7
Price crossing over EMA 14
Price crossing over EMA 21
The first benefit of using all three crossovers is to reduce false signals. The second benefit is that you know that a strong trend is likely to develop relatively soon, with the help of the fast setup of the three EMAs.
EXIT
The strategy comes with a fixed take profit and a volatility stop, which acts as a trailing stop to adapt to the trend's strength. That helps you get out of the way as soon as market conditions change. Depending on your long term confidence in the asset, you can edit the fixed take profit to be more conservative or aggressive.
The position is closed when:
The price increases by 4%
The price crosses below the volatility stop.
The best time frame for this strategy based on our backtest is the 4-hr. Shorter timeframes can also work well, although they exhibit larger volatility in their returns. In general, this approach suits medium timeframes. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.

8 Day Extended Runs Inspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.
Strategy suited to the US T-note (ZN1!) with a t-test of 4.06.
The 5 day SMA is vital to Linda’s trend identification system. She’s done extensive testing and research using this indicator and has built models based on it. Linda used the 5 day SMA to determine that large outlier price moves happen in the direction of the trend in each market about 9-10 times per year. The powerful part about that number is that when the trend does persist, it can go on a long run, making this a trade with a high expected value.
Note: the current exit criteria is sell 10 days after entry, users should experiment with different stop placements.
Vin's Playzone Strategy How it works
Playzone is a very simple system, utilizing just two exponential moving
averages. The 'Zones' in which different 'actions' should be taken is
highlighted with different colors on the chart. Calculations for the zones
are based on the relative position of price to the two EMA lines and the
relationship between the two EMAs
How to use
The basic method for using Playzone is to follow the green/red color.
Buy when bar closes in green.
Sell when bar closes in red.
Using it this way is safe but slow and is expected to have around 35-40%
accuracy, while yielding around 2-3 profit factors. The system works best
on larger time frames.
The more advanced method uses the zones to switch between different
trading system and biases, or in conjunction with other indicators.
example 1:
Buy when Yellow-Green and Bullish Divergence between price and RSI is visible,
if not Buy on Green and vise-versa
example 2:
Set up a long-biased grid and trade long only when actionzone is in green
change the bias to short when actionzone turns to te bearish side(red)
(Look at colors on a larger time frame)
"We let the market tell us what to do, Not to outguess what the market gonna do."
Moving Average Exponential with Standard Deviation BandThis is standard EMA script available on Trading View and i have just added ability to add a channel based on standard deviation. In addition to it you can enable/disable optional lines from options and it would add 50% levels of upper and under channel. I added 50% as it provide important price levels if you have right settings selected for channel factor.
Trend Gradient Moving Average This moving average uses a gradient function which calculates the number of advances/declines of the moving average to change the intensity of the colors, meaning a longer trend in either direction will show a stronger color. You can choose 3 colors to build the gradient: a bullish, bearish & neutral/transition color. The number of steps chosen will change the speed of color change, with a lower number of steps meaning a faster transition and viceversa.
Furthermore, you can choose between many different types of moving averages:
-SMA (Simple Moving Average)
-EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
-RMA (Rolling Moving Average)
-WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
-HMA (Hull Moving Average)
-VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
-TMA (Triangular Moving Average)

Strategy Template - V2This is an educational script created to demonstrate few basic building blocks of a trend based strategy and how to achieve different entry and exit types. My initial intention was to create a comprehensive strategy template which covers all the aspects of strategy. But, ended up creating fully fledged strategy based on trend following.
This is an enhancement on Strategy-Template But this script is comparitively more complex. Hence I decided to create new version instead of updating the existing one.
Lets dive deep.
SIMPLE COMPONENTS OF TREND FOLLOWING STRATEGY
TREND BIAS - This defines the direction of trend. Idea is not to trade against the trend direction. If the bias is bullish, look for long opportunities and if bias is bearish, look for short opportunities. Stay out of the market when the bias is neutral.
Often, trend bias is determined based on longer timeframe conditions. Example - 200 Moving Average, Higher timeframe moving averages, Higher timeframe high-lows etc. can be used for determining the trend bias.
In this script, I am using Weekly donchian channels combined with daily donchian channels to define trend bias.
Long Bias - 40 Day donchian channel sits completely in upper portion of 40 Week dochnial channel.
Short Bias - 40 Day donchian channel sits completely in lower portion of 40 Week donchian channel.
ENTRY CONDITION - Entry signals are generated only in the direction of bias. Hence, when in LongBias, we only get Long signals and when in short bias, we only get short signals.
In our case, when in Long Bias - if price hits 40 day high for the first time, this creates our long entry signal. Similarly when in Short Bias , price hitting 40 day low will create signal for going short. Since we do not take trades opposite to trend, no entry conditions are formed when price hits 40 day high in Short Bias or 40 day low in Long Bias.
EXIT CONDITION - Exit conditions are formed when we get signals of trend failure.
In our case, when in long trade, price hitting 40 day low creates exit signal. Similarly when in short trade price hitting 40 day high creates exit signal for short trade.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENTRY AND EXIT
In this script, I have tried to demonstrate different entry and exit types.
Entry types
Market - Enter immediately when entry signal is received. That is, in this case when price crossover over high in long bias and crosses under low in short bias
Stop - This method includes estimating at what level new highs are made and creating a stop buy order at that level. This way, we do not miss if the break out is stronger. But, susciptible to fail during fakeouts.
Limit - This method includes executing a limit order to buy at lower price or sell at higher price. In trend following methods, downside of limit order is when there is genuine breakout, these limit orders may not hit and during trend failures the limit orders are likely to hit and go straight to stop.
Stop-Limit - this is same as stop order but will also place a limit condition to avoid buying on overextended breakout or with lots of slippage.
Exit types
Market - whether to keep the existing trade running or whether to close it is determined after close of each bar and exit orders are executed manually upon receiving exit signal.
Stop - We place stop loss orders beforehand when there is a trade in place. This can help in avoiding big movements against trade within bar. But, this may also stop on false signals or fakeouts.
Take profit
Stop - No take profits are configured.
Target - 30% of the positions are closed when take profit levels are hit. Take profit levels are defined by risk reward.
USING THE CODE AS TEMPLATE
As mentioned earlier, I intended to create a fully fledged strategy template. But, ended up creating a fully fledged stratgy. However, you can take some part of this code and use it to start your own strategy. Will explain what all things can be adopted without worrying about the strategy implementation within
Strategy definition : This can be copied as is and just change the title of strategy. This defines some of the commonly used parameters of strategy which can help with close to realistic backtesting results for your coded strategy and comparison with buy and hold.
Generic Strategy Parameters : The parameter which defines controlling alllowed trade direction and trading window are present here. This again can be copied as is and variable inDateRange can be directly used in entry conditions.
Generic Methods : f_getMovingAverage and f_secureSecurity are handy and can be used as is. atr method provideded by pine gives you ATR based on RMA. If you want SMA or any other moving average based ATR, you can use the method f_getCustomAtr
Trade Statements : This section has all types of trading instructions which includes market/stop/limit/stop-limit type of entries and exits and take profit statements. You can adopt the type of entry you are interested in and change when condition to suit your strategy.
Trade conditions and levels : This section is required. But, cannot be copied. All the trade logic goes here which also sets parameters which are used in when of Trade Statements.
Hope this helps.
Ichimoku Cloud Strategy IdeaThis strategy idea uses the famous Ichimoku Cloud (Forward-shifted SMA-9 and SMA-26) and Chiku (52-candle lagged close price) with its default parameters. This strategy is slow and issues few signals. However, this is one of the most performant long-term trend trading strategies. It usually works well on 1D and 4H timeframes and even better on trending instruments. This is the implementation used in QuantCT app.
You can set operation mode to be Long/Short or long-only.
You also can set a fixed stop-loss or ignore it so that the strategy act solely based on entry and exit signals.
Trade Idea
When both close price and chiku are above the cloud, market is considered rising (bullish) and the plotted cloud becomes green.
When both close price and chiku are below the cloud, market is considered falling (bearish) and the plotted cloud becomes red.
Otherwise, market is considered ranging and the plotted cloud becomes orange.
Entry/Exit rules
Enter LONG right after both close price and chiku went above the cloud (i.e. when the end of the plotted cloud becomes green).
Enter SHORT right after both close price and chiku went below the cloud (i.e. when the end of the plotted cloud becomes red).
EXIT market when close price enters the cloud.
CAUTION
It's just a bare trading idea - but a profitable one. You can enhance this idea and turn it into a full trading strategy with enhanced risk/money management and optimizing it, and you ABSOLUTELY should do this!
DON'T insist on using Long/Short mode on all instruments! This strategy performs much better in Long-Only mode on several instruments (Like BTC , ETH, etc.), and also performs better in Long/Short mode on other instruments (Like VET, BNT, etc.).
