Triple Confirmation System: EMA crossover + RSI filter + ADX strength (optional)
Automated Risk Management: 2% stop loss with wick-touch detection

Webhook Ready: Six distinct alert messages for automation (Entry Buy/Sell, Close Long/Short, SL Hit Long/Short)
Performance Metrics
NIFTY Futures (15min): 50%+ win rate with ADX filter OFF
Crypto Markets: Requires extensive backtesting before live deployment
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts (patience required for higher timeframes)
Strategy Logic
Entry Signals:
LONG: EMA 9 crosses above EMA 21 + RSI > 55 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
SHORT: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 21 + RSI < 45 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
Exit Signals:
Opposite EMA crossover (auto-closes current position)
Stop loss hit at 2% from entry price (tracks candle wicks)
Technical Indicators:
Fast EMA: 9-period (short-term trend)
Slow EMA: 21-period (primary trend)
RSI: 14-period with 55/45 thresholds (momentum confirmation)
ADX: 14-period with 20 threshold (trend strength filter - optional)
Market-Specific Settings
Traditional Markets (NIFTY, Bank NIFTY, S&P Futures, Options)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn OFF (less choppy, cleaner trends)
Timeframe: 15-minute chart
Win Rate: 50%+ on NIFTY Futures
Why No ADX: Traditional markets have more institutional participation and smoother price action, making ADX unnecessary
Cryptocurrency Markets (BTC, ETH, Altcoins)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn ON (ADX > 20)
Timeframe: 15-minute to 1-hour
Extensive backtesting required before live trading
Why ADX: Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to false breakouts; ADX filters low-quality chop
Best Practices
✅ Backtest thoroughly on your specific instrument and timeframe
✅ Use larger timeframes (1H, 4H) for higher quality signals and better risk/reward
✅ Adjust RSI thresholds based on market volatility (try 52/48 for more signals, 60/40 for fewer but stronger)
✅ Monitor ADX effectiveness - disable for traditional markets, enable for crypto
✅ Proper position sizing - adjust default_qty_value based on your capital and instrument price
✅ Paper trade first - test for 2-4 weeks before risking real capital
Risk Management
Fixed 2% stop loss per trade (adjustable)
Stop loss tracks candle wicks for accurate execution
Positions auto-reverse on opposite signals (no manual intervention needed)
0.075% commission built into backtest (adjust for your broker)

Webhook Automation

"Entry Buy" - Long position opened

Important Notes
⚠️ Crypto markets require extensive backtesting - volatility patterns differ significantly from traditional markets
⚠️ Higher timeframes = better results - 15min works but 1H/4H provide cleaner signals
⚠️ ADX toggle is critical - OFF for traditional markets, ON for crypto
⚠️ Not financial advice - always conduct your own research and use proper risk management
⚠️ Past performance ≠ future results - backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions

Webhook
[Strategy Alert Webhook Demo] Buy One Sell One Buy One Sell One
Two Options to send Alert Order via Webhook
1. Order fill events with `alert_message` on strategy.close(), strategy.entry(), strategy.exit() and strategy.order()
NOTE: Need to fill the Alert Creation box with `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`
2. Send Alert through `alert()`
RELATIVE VALUE TRADE MANAGEMENT WEBHOOKThis script it's created to send open-close signals via webhook. It allows you to open a relative value position based in the relative graph. You can set the TP and SL levels and the script will send the signal to your exchange.
Due a pine limitations it is necessary apply the script in the 2 different actives and set the alerts. You can just do the relative analysis and then go to the first asset and set the script. Create your alert and then just go to the other asset and create the alert. It doesn't necessary to change anything in the script because the levels are the same.
It is also possible to do the analysis using the script, deploying the relative graph, but could be annoying sometimes due scales.
Positions will be placed at close always.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: I use Zignaly as a exhange so if you are using Binance or other YOU MUST CHANGE the code. If you know the JSON format that It requires would be easy.
Here is tips in all the important imputs. But let me explain the most important.
The MANDATORY fields are:
Ticker IDs: Here you must write the EXACT ID code for the active. Caps included.
Example : BINANCE:SUSHIUSDTPERP
It is also important select the correct market side. If you want to be long of ANY active you must write that ID in the LONG ID. For short positions is the same.
Time frame: Here you can select the time frame of the graph (not the current active graph, I mean the relative one.) The orders will be send using that time frame. I recommend to do the analysis in other window and then use the script to trigger the order in the time frame that you want.
Money management: In these fields you can select the qty that you will lose if the SL level is reach. Based in a determinated amount of currency or in a % of your capital.
Dates: It is important to select the start date. If the order is already open, we must look for the moment where the activation price was reached. If the order is unopened it is better to select the current date, so the order will be triggered when the entry level is reached.
Ids: If you have current open position you can set here that ID to send the correct order to the exchange.
To set the alert just call the function {{{strategy.order.alert_message}}}
