Crypto Professional Suite V2.0 [R2D2]Here is the complete professional documentation and strategy guide for your Crypto Pro Suite indicator. This guide is designed to help you install the tool correctly, understand its features, and utilize it to maximize your trading returns.
Crypto Pro Suite: The Professional Crypto Trader's All-In-One Toolkit
1. Introduction
The Crypto Pro Suite is a high-performance TradingView indicator designed to consolidate the five most critical technical analysis tools into a single, clean overlay.
Instead of cluttering your screen with multiple sub-charts (panes), this suite integrates Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci Levels directly onto the price action. It transforms "oscillator" data (RSI and MACD) into actionable Buy/Sell signals on your candles and a real-time Status Dashboard.
Key Features:
Zero Clutter: No bottom panes required; maximizes screen real estate for price analysis.
Real-Time Dashboard: Instant readout of Trend, RSI status, and MACD momentum.
Dynamic Overlay: Indicators move fluidly with your candles.
2. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps precisely to ensure the "Overlay" feature functions correctly.
Clean Slate: If you have any previous version of this script on your chart, remove it now (click the 'X' next to the indicator name).
Open Editor: Click the Pine Editor tab at the bottom of your TradingView screen.
Paste Code: Delete any existing text and paste the Final Polished Script provided in the previous response.
Save & Add: Click Save, then click Add to chart.
Note: By adding it fresh, TradingView forces the script to lock onto the price candles rather than a separate pane.
Verify: You should see colored lines (MAs, Bollinger Bands) directly on top of your candlesticks and a Dashboard in the top right.
3. Using the Script: Settings & Customization
Access the settings by clicking the Gear Icon next to the indicator name.
Dashboard: You can toggle the info panel On/Off or change its size (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
Toggle Control: Each of the 5 indicators has a "Show" checkbox. You can turn off noise (e.g., hide Bollinger Bands) when you only want to focus on Trend (MAs).
Inputs:
MAs: Defaults are 50/200 (Classic Golden Cross setup).
RSI: Default is 14 length, 70/30 limits.
Fibs: Default lookback is 200 bars. Increase this number to find Support/Resistance over a longer timeframe.
4. Maximizing Returns: Strategy & Examples
To maximize returns, professionals do not use indicators in isolation. They look for Confluence—where multiple indicators signal the same direction simultaneously.
A. Moving Averages (Trend Filter)
The Setup: The script plots a Fast MA (Yellow) and Slow MA (Blue).
Strategy:
Golden Cross (Buy): When the Yellow line crosses above the Blue line. This signals the start of a long-term bull trend.
Death Cross (Sell): When the Yellow line crosses below the Blue line.
Pro Tip: Never go long (Buy) if price is significantly below the Blue (Slow) MA.
B. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Setup: Instead of a line graph, you will see labels on the candles: "RSI Buy" (Green) or "RSI Sell" (Red).
Strategy:
Mean Reversion: If you see an "RSI Sell" label, the asset is Overbought. This is often a signal to take profit, not necessarily to short.
The Dip Buy: Look for an "RSI Buy" label occurring during a general uptrend (price above Slow MA). This indicates a healthy pullback that is ready to bounce.
C. MACD (Momentum)
The Setup: Green Triangles (Buy) and Red Triangles (Sell) appear above/below candles.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use MACD to confirm the Moving Average. If price crosses above the MA and you get a Green MACD Triangle, the breakout has high momentum and is likely to succeed.
Exit Signal: If you are in a Long trade and see a Red MACD Triangle, momentum is fading. Consider tightening your stop-loss.
D. Bollinger Bands (Volatility)
The Setup: A shaded teal channel surrounding the price.
Strategy:
The Squeeze: When the bands get very narrow, a massive move is coming. Wait for the breakout.
Walking the Bands: In a strong crypto bull run, price will hug the Upper Band. If price closes outside the band and then immediately closes inside it, it is a reversal signal (Sell).
E. Fibonacci Retracement (Support/Resistance)
The Setup: Dynamic horizontal lines (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 100%) based on recent highs/lows.
Strategy:
The Golden Pocket: The most powerful buy zone in crypto is between the 0.5 and 0.618 lines.
Execution: If price falls to the 0.618 line and you see an "RSI Buy" or MACD Green Triangle appear at that exact level, this is a high-probability entry.
5. The "Perfect Trade" Example
Putting it all together for maximum profit.
Context: The Dashboard says "MA Trend: Bullish."
Trigger: Price pulls back down and touches the 0.618 Fibonacci line.
Confirmation 1: Price is also touching the Lower Bollinger Band (acting as dynamic support).
Confirmation 2: An "RSI Buy" label appears on the candle.
Action: BUY.
Stop Loss: Place just below the 100% Fib line.
Take Profit: Sell half at the 0% Fib line (recent high) and let the rest ride.

Master Crypto Overlay [R2D2]The Gemini Master Crypto Overlay: User Guide
1. Introduction
The Gemini Master Crypto Overlay is a professional-grade TradingView script designed to consolidate six powerful institutional indicators into a single, clean "heads-up display" (HUD).
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple sub-windows (which shrinks your view of the price), this script uses smart overlays and a data dashboard to provide actionable data instantly. It is optimized for the Daily timeframe as requested, but functions on all timeframes.
Included Indicators:
Ichimoku Cloud: Identifies the primary trend and support/resistance zones.
MACD (Custom Crypto Settings): Optimized (3-10-16) for catching fast crypto moves.
WaveTrend Oscillator: Visual signals for Overbought/Oversold entries.
Supertrend: A trailing stop-loss line to keep you in profitable trades.
Ultimate RSI (MTF): Multi-timeframe analysis to ensure you are trading with the higher trend.
Volume Reference (VWAP): An on-chart proxy for Volume Profile to spot fair value.
2. Installation Instructions
Step 1: Open Pine Editor
Launch your chart on TradingView.
At the bottom of the screen, click the tab labeled Pine Editor.
Step 2: Paste the Code
Delete any text currently in the editor window.
Copy the code block at the bottom of this response.
Paste it into the editor.
Step 3: Save and Add
Click "Save" (top right of the editor) and name it "Master Crypto Overlay".
Click "Add to chart".
Note: You may hide the "Pine Editor" panel now by clicking the arrow at the bottom center of the screen.
3. How to Use the Interface
The script is designed to be intuitive. Here is what you are looking at:
A. The Dashboard (Bottom Right)
This is your "Confluence Checker." It summarizes the status of the major indicators in real-time.
GREEN: Bullish (Buy/Hold)
RED: Bearish (Sell/Short)
GRAY: Neutral/Choppy (Stay out)
Pro Tip: Do not enter a trade unless at least 3 out of 4 signals on the dashboard match your direction.
B. On-Chart Signals
Clouds (Red/Green): If the cloud is Green and rising, only look for Long trades. If Red, only look for Short trades.
Supertrend Line: This continuous line trails the price. If price is above it (Green line), you are safe. If price closes below it, the trend has reversed.
MACD Labels: Small "MACD" text appears when momentum flips.
WaveTrend Circles:
Blue Circle (Bottom): Price is "Oversold." Good time to buy if the trend is up.
Orange Circle (Top): Price is "Overbought." Good time to take profit.
4. Strategy: Maximizing Trading Returns
To make money with this script, you need a rule-based system. Do not just blindly click when you see a label. Use this "Trend & Trigger" strategy:
The "Golden Entry" (High Probability Long)
Trend Check: Ensure price is ABOVE the Ichimoku Cloud.
Dashboard Check: Verify the RSI Status says "BULL (>50)".
The Trigger: Wait for a pullback where price touches the Supertrend Line (Green) or the top of the Cloud.
The Entry: Enter the trade when a Blue WaveTrend Circle appears OR a MACD Buy Label prints.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss slightly below the Supertrend line.
The "Exit Strategy" (Protecting Profits)
Conservative: Sell half your position when an Orange WaveTrend Circle appears.
Trend Follower: Hold the rest of your position until the Supertrend Line turns RED.
Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy# Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy
## Overview
This strategy applies options market-making principles to spot/futures trading using the Black-Scholes pricing model. It simulates the behavior of a delta-hedged straddle position, generating buy and sell signals based on how a market maker would hedge their gamma exposure.
---
## The Concept: Gamma Scalping
Professional options traders who hold long straddles (long call + long put at the same strike) profit when the underlying moves significantly in either direction. Here's why:
- A straddle has **positive gamma**, meaning its delta increases as price rises and decreases as price falls
- To stay delta-neutral, traders must **buy after dips** and **sell after rallies**
- If **realized volatility > implied volatility**, the profits from these hedging trades exceed the daily theta (time decay) cost
This strategy captures that edge by:
1. Calculating theoretical Greeks using Black-Scholes
2. Monitoring when delta deviates from neutral
3. Trading to "hedge" back to neutral — buying weakness, selling strength
---
## Black-Scholes Greeks Calculated
| Greek | Symbol | What It Measures |
|-------|--------|------------------|
| Delta | Δ | Directional exposure |
| Gamma | Γ | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | ν | Sensitivity to volatility |
| Theta | Θ | Time decay per day |
All Greeks are calculated in real-time using the standard Black-Scholes formula with configurable inputs for strike, expiration, implied volatility, and risk-free rate.
---
## Entry Signals
**Long Entry** (buy the underlying):
- Price drops significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta falls below the lower hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime (HV > IV)
**Short Entry** (sell the underlying):
- Price rises significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta rises above the upper hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime
---
## Volatility Regime Filter
The strategy compares **Historical Volatility (HV)** to **Implied Volatility (IV)**:
- **HV/IV > 1.2** → Long volatility regime (gamma scalping profitable) → Trading enabled
- **HV/IV < 0.8** → Short volatility regime (theta wins) → Trading paused or reversed
- **Between** → Neutral, proceed with caution
This filter helps avoid trading when market conditions don't favor the strategy.
---
## Key Inputs
**Option Parameters:**
- Strike Offset % — Distance from ATM (0 = at-the-money)
- Days to Expiration — Synthetic option tenor (affects gamma magnitude)
- Implied Volatility — Your estimate of fair IV
- Risk-Free Rate — For BS calculation
**Trading Parameters:**
- Gamma Scalp Threshold — ATR multiple to trigger trades
- Delta Hedge Band % — How far delta must deviate to signal
- Volatility Regime Filter — Enable/disable HV/IV filter
**Risk Management:**
- Stop Loss / Take Profit (ATR multiples)
- Max Drawdown % — Pauses trading if exceeded
- Max Concurrent Positions
---
## How to Use
1. **Set Implied Volatility** to match current market IV (check options chain or VIX for reference)
2. **Adjust Days to Expiration** — Shorter = higher gamma, more signals; Longer = smoother
3. **Tune the Hedge Band** — Tighter bands = more trades; Wider = fewer, larger moves
4. **Enable Volatility Filter** for trend-following vol regimes, disable for pure mean-reversion
**Best suited for:**
- Range-bound or choppy markets
- High realized volatility environments
- Liquid instruments with tight spreads
**Avoid using when:**
- Strong directional trends (gamma scalping loses to delta)
- Volatility is collapsing
- Low liquidity / wide spreads
---
## Information Table
The on-chart table displays real-time:
- Current strike price
- Straddle Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta
- Historical vs Implied Volatility
- HV/IV Ratio
- Current volatility regime
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Long entry signals
- Short entry signals
- Max drawdown protection triggered
---
## Disclaimer
This strategy is provided for **educational purposes only**. It demonstrates how Black-Scholes option pricing theory can be applied to generate trading signals.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- Paper trade extensively before using real capital
**No financial advice is given or implied.**
---
## Credits
Based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (1973) and gamma scalping techniques used by professional options market makers.

DeeptestDeeptest: Quantitative Backtesting Library for Pine Script
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ OVERVIEW
Deeptest is a Pine Script library that provides quantitative analysis tools for strategy backtesting. It calculates over 100 statistical metrics including risk-adjusted return ratios (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar), drawdown analysis, Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR, and performs Monte Carlo simulation and Walk-Forward Analysis.
█ WHY THIS LIBRARY MATTERS
Pine Script is a simple yet effective coding language for algorithmic and quantitative trading. Its accessibility enables traders to quickly prototype and test ideas directly within TradingView. However, the built-in strategy tester provides only basic metrics (net profit, win rate, drawdown), which is often insufficient for serious strategy evaluation.
Due to this limitation, many traders migrate to alternative backtesting platforms that offer comprehensive analytics. These platforms require other language programming knowledge, environment setup, and significant time investment—often just to test a simple trading idea.
Deeptest bridges this gap by bringing institutional-level quantitative analytics directly to Pine Script. Traders can now perform sophisticated analysis without leaving TradingView or learning complex external platforms. All calculations are derived from strategy.closedtrades.* , ensuring compatibility with any existing Pine Script strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY AND USEFULNESS
This library is original work that adds value to the TradingView community in the following ways:
1. Comprehensive Metric Suite: Implements 112+ statistical calculations in a single library, including advanced metrics not available in TradingView's built-in tester (p-value, Z-score, Skewness, Kurtosis, Risk of Ruin).
2. Monte Carlo Simulation: Implements trade-sequence randomization to stress-test strategy robustness by simulating 1000+ alternative equity curves.
3. Walk-Forward Analysis: Divides historical data into rolling in-sample and out-of-sample windows to detect overfitting by comparing training vs. testing performance.
4. Rolling Window Statistics: Calculates time-varying Sharpe, Sortino, and Expectancy to analyze metric consistency throughout the backtest period.
5. Interactive Table Display: Renders professional-grade tables with color-coded thresholds, tooltips explaining each metric, and period analysis cards for drawdowns/trades.
6. Benchmark Comparison: Automatically fetches S&P 500 data to calculate Alpha, Beta, and R-squared, enabling objective assessment of strategy skill vs. passive investing.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
Purpose
Monte Carlo simulation tests strategy robustness by randomizing the order of trades while keeping trade returns unchanged. This simulates alternative equity curves to assess outcome variability.
Method
Extract all historical trade returns
Randomly shuffle the sequence (1000+ iterations)
Calculate cumulative equity for each shuffle
Build distribution of final outcomes
Output
The stress test table shows:
Median Outcome: 50th percentile result
5th Percentile: Worst 5% of outcomes
95th Percentile: Best 95% of outcomes
Success Rate: Percentage of simulations that were profitable
Interpretation
If 95% of simulations are profitable: Strategy is robust
If median is far from actual result: High variance/unreliability
If 5th percentile shows large loss: High tail risk
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WALK-FORWARD ANALYSIS
Purpose
Walk-Forward Analysis (WFA) is the gold standard for detecting strategy overfitting. It simulates real-world trading by dividing historical data into rolling "training" (in-sample) and "validation" (out-of-sample) periods. A strategy that performs well on unseen data is more likely to succeed in live trading.
Method
The implementation uses a non-overlapping window approach following AmiBroker's gold standard methodology:
Segment Calculation: Total trades divided into N windows (default: 12), IS = ~75%, OOS = ~25%, Step = OOS length
Window Structure: Each window has IS (training) followed by OOS (validation). Each OOS becomes the next window's IS (rolling forward)
Metrics Calculated: CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, MaxDD, Win Rate, Expectancy, Profit Factor, Payoff
Aggregation: IS metrics averaged across all IS periods, OOS metrics averaged across all OOS periods
Output
IS CAGR: In-sample annualized return
OOS CAGR: Out-of-sample annualized return ( THE key metric )
IS/OOS Sharpe: In/out-of-sample risk-adjusted return
Success Rate: % of OOS windows that were profitable
Interpretation
Robust: IS/OOS CAGR gap <20%, OOS Success Rate >80%
Some Overfitting: CAGR gap 20-50%, Success Rate 50-80%
Severe Overfitting: CAGR gap >50%, Success Rate <50%
Key Principles:
OOS is what matters — Only OOS predicts live performance
Consistency > Magnitude — 10% IS / 9% OOS beats 30% IS / 5% OOS
Window count — More windows = more reliable validation
Non-overlapping OOS — Prevents data leakage
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ TABLE DISPLAY
Main Table — Organized into three sections:
Performance Metrics (Cols 0-6): Net Profit, Payoff, Sample Size, Profit Factor, CAGR, Expectancy, Monthly
Trade Statistics (Cols 7-14): Avg Duration, Max CW, Max CL, Win, BE, Loss, Frequency, Exposure
Risk Metrics (Cols 15-22): Sharpe, Sortino, Max DD, RoR, R², MAR, CVaR, p-value

Limitations: Requires at least 1 closed trade for basic metrics, 30+ trades for reliable statistical analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ QUICK NOTES
➙ This library has been developed and refined over two years of real-world strategy testing. Every calculation has been validated against industry-standard quantitative finance references.
➙ The entire codebase is thoroughly documented inline. If you are curious about how a metric is calculated or want to understand the implementation details, dive into the source code -- it is written to be read and learned from.
➙ This description focuses on usage and concepts rather than exhaustively listing every exported type and function. The library source code is thoroughly documented inline -- explore it to understand implementation details and internal logic.
➙ All calculations execute on barstate.islastconfirmedhistory to minimize runtime overhead. The library is designed for efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
➙ Beyond analysis, this library serves as a learning resource. Study the source code to understand quantitative finance concepts, Pine Script advanced techniques, and proper statistical methodology.
➙ Metrics are their own not binary good/bad indicators. A high Sharpe ratio with low sample size is misleading. A deep drawdown during a market crash may be acceptable. Study each function and metric individually -- evaluate your strategy contextually, not by threshold alone.
➙ All strategies face alpha decay over time. Instead of over-optimizing a single strategy on one timeframe and market, build a diversified portfolio across multiple markets and timeframes. Deeptest helps you validate each component so you can combine robust strategies into a trading portfolio.
➙ Screenshots shown in the documentation are solely for visual representation to demonstrate how the tables and metrics will be displayed. Please do not compare your strategy's performance with the metrics shown in these screenshots -- they are illustrative examples only, not performance targets or benchmarks.

[PickMyTrade] Trend strategy for LongThis strategy detects descending trend resistance using pivot-based trendlines and enters long positions when price confirms a breakout above a validated trendline. It is designed to capture bullish trend reversals with strict risk control and flexible exit management.
The system focuses on structural market behavior rather than indicators, making it suitable for traders who prefer price-action-based decision making.
USAGE
This strategy automatically builds trendlines from confirmed pivot highs. A trendline is considered valid only when price has interacted with it a user-defined number of times, ensuring that trades are taken only from well-formed market structures.
A trade is triggered when price closes above a validated descending trendline while optional session and position limits are respected.
All risk and position sizing are calculated automatically based on the selected risk amount and stop-loss distance.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy identifies swing highs using pivot logic and connects them into descending trendlines. Each trendline must meet a minimum number of touch confirmations before becoming eligible for trading.
When price closes above a valid trendline, the strategy calculates:
Stop-loss placement below the most recent pivot low
Position size based on fixed monetary risk
Profit targets based on the selected exit method
EXIT METHODS
Three exit models are supported:
Risk–Reward Ratio
Uses a fixed multiple of the defined risk distance to set the take-profit level.
Lookback Candle Exit
Exits trades when price shows structural reversal behavior based on recent candles.
Fibonacci Targets
Uses Fibonacci extensions derived from recent swing structure to trail profits dynamically.
An optional trailing stop can also be enabled to protect open profits.
FEATURES
Automatic pivot-based trendline detection
Multi-trendline or single-trendline operation
Dynamic position sizing based on monetary risk
Pivot-based stop-loss placement
Multiple exit methodologies

40 SMA Scaling StrategyThis trend-following strategy focuses on capturing momentum when price breaks above the 40-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) while utilizing a systematic scale-out (Take Profit) approach to lock in gains during extended runs.
Strategy Logic
Entry: Opens a Long position with 100% of current equity when the price closes above the 40 SMA. This ensures maximum capital efficiency at the start of a new perceived trend.
Scaling Take Profits: To reduce risk as the trade progresses, the strategy automatically closes 25% of the initial position for every 1% increase in price from the entry point.
Exit: The entire remaining position is closed immediately if the price closes below the 40 SMA, acting as a trailing stop that adapts to the moving average.
Key Features
Capital-Efficient: Starts with a full account allocation to maximize exposure to the initial breakout.
Systematic De-risking: By scaling out in 25% increments, the strategy banks profits early while leaving a portion of the trade active for potential "moon shots."
Trend-Following Exit: Uses a classic SMA filter to exit, aiming to stay in the trade as long as the medium-term trend remains bullish.
Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO)Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO) is a composite trend-following strategy specifically engineered for XAUUSD (Gold) and volatile assets on H4 (4-Hour) and Daily timeframes.
This script aims to solve a common problem in trend trading: "Whipsaws in Sideways Markets." Instead of relying on a single indicator, GVTO employs a Multi-Factor Confluence System that filters out low-probability trades by requiring alignment across Trend Structure, Momentum, and Volatility.
🛠 Methodology & Logic
The strategy executes trades only when four distinct technical conditions overlap (Confluence). If any single condition is not met, the trade is filtered out to preserve capital.
1. Market Structure Filter (200 EMA)
Indicator: Exponential Moving Average (Length 200).
Logic: The 200 EMA acts as the baseline for the long-term trend regime.
Bullish Regime: Price must close above the 200 EMA.
Bearish Regime: Price must close below the 200 EMA.
Purpose: Prevents counter-trend trading against the macro direction.
2. Signal Trigger & Trailing Stop (Supertrend)
Indicator: Supertrend (ATR Length 14, Factor 3.5).
Logic: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to detect trend reversals while accounting for volatility.
Purpose: Provides the specific entry signal and acts as a dynamic trailing stop-loss to let profits run while cutting losses when the trend invalidates.
3. Volatility Gatekeeper (ADX Filter)
Indicator: Average Directional Index (Length 14).
Threshold: > 25.
Logic: A high ADX value indicates a strong trend presence, regardless of direction.
Purpose: This is the most critical filter. It prevents the strategy from entering trades during "choppy" or ranging markets (consolidation zones) where trend-following systems typically fail.
4. Momentum Confirmation (DMI)
Indicator: Directional Movement Index (DI+ and DI-).
Logic: Checks if the buying pressure (DI+) is physically stronger than selling pressure (DI-), or vice versa.
Purpose: Ensures that the price movement is backed by genuine momentum, not just a momentary price spike.
📋 How to Use This Strategy
🟢 LONG (BUY) Setup
A Buy signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes ABOVE the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to GREEN (Bullish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI+ (Plus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI- (Minus).
🔴 SHORT (SELL) Setup
A Sell signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes BELOW the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to RED (Bearish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI- (Minus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI+ (Plus).
🛡 Exit Strategy
Stop Loss / Take Profit: The strategy utilizes the Supertrend Line as a dynamic Trailing Stop.
Exit Long: When Supertrend turns Red.
Exit Short: When Supertrend turns Green.
Note: Traders can also use the real-time P/L Dashboard included in the script to manually secure profits based on their personal Risk:Reward ratio.
📊 Included Features
Real-Time P/L Dashboard: A table in the top-right corner displays the current trend status, ADX strength, and the Unrealized Profit/Loss % of the current active position.
Smart Labeling: Buy/Sell labels are coded to appear only on the initial entry trigger. They do not repaint and do not spam the chart if the trend continues (no pyramiding visualization).
Visual Aids: Background color changes (Green/Red) to visually represent the active trend based on the Supertrend status.
⚠️ Risk Warning & Best Practices
Asset Class: Optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) due to its high volatility nature. It also works well on Crypto (BTC, ETH) and Major Forex Pairs.
Timeframe: Highly recommended for H4 (4 Hours) or D1 (Daily). Using this on lower timeframes (M5, M15) may result in false signals due to market noise.
News Events: Automated strategies cannot predict economic news (CPI, NFP). Exercise caution or pause trading during high-impact economic releases.
Multi-MA SuiteMulti-MA Suite - Customizable Moving Averages Indicator
Overview
Multi-MA Suite is a comprehensive moving average indicator that combines both Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in a single, highly customizable tool. Designed for traders who rely on multiple timeframe analysis, this indicator provides up to 9 moving averages (5 EMAs + 4 SMAs) with full control over visibility, color schemes, and parameters.
Key Features
✓ Dual MA Types:
5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - Responsive to recent price action, ideal for short to medium timeframes
4 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) - Slow and stable, specifically designed for long timeframe analysis
✓ Full Customization:
Individual toggle switches to show/hide each moving average
Custom color picker for each MA line
Adjustable length and source for all moving averages
Progressive line width (thicker lines for longer periods)
✓ Pre-configured Defaults:
EMA: 9, 21, 50, 100, 200 (common swing trading periods)
SMA: 50, 100, 200, 300 (institutional reference levels for long-term trends)
Color-coded scheme: Warm colors (yellow-orange) for EMAs, Cool colors (blue-purple) for SMAs
✓ Clean Interface:
Organized input groups for easy navigation
Clear labeling and logical parameter ordering
Minimal chart clutter with toggle controls
Key Difference - Speed & Timeframe:
EMAs: Fast and reactive → Best for short to medium timeframes (1-min to 4-hour charts)
SMAs: Slow and smooth → Best for long timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly charts)
Recommended Settings
Day Trading (Short Timeframes):
Focus on EMAs: 9, 21, 50
Use 1-minute to 15-minute charts
SMAs react too slowly for intraday timeframes
Swing Trading (Medium Timeframes):
Use all EMAs with SMA 50 and 200
1-hour to daily charts work best
Mix of EMAs for entries, SMAs for trend context
Position Trading (Long Timeframes):
Focus primarily on SMAs: 50, 100, 200, 300
Daily to weekly charts recommended
SMAs excel here due to their slow, stable nature
Can add EMA 200 for comparison
Investment Analysis (Very Long Timeframes):
SMAs only: 100, 200, 300
Weekly to monthly charts
SMA's slow calculation filters noise perfectly for long-term trends
EMA Timeframe-Specific Recommendations
📌 Important Notes on EMA Usage by Timeframe:
Small Timeframes (5-minute and 15-minute charts):
Use 9 EMA and 21 EMA
These fast EMAs respond quickly to price changes
Perfect for scalping and day trading
The 9/21 EMA crossover is a popular day trading strategy
Medium Timeframes (1-hour to 4-hour charts):
Use 21 EMA and 50 EMA
Balances responsiveness with trend reliability
Ideal for swing trading and intraday position holding
The 21/50 EMA combination filters out noise while staying responsive
Long Timeframes (Daily and Weekly charts):
Use 50 EMA and 200 EMA
The classic trend-following combination
50 EMA for medium-term trend, 200 EMA for major trend
The 50/200 EMA crossover is known as the "Golden Cross" (bullish) or "Death Cross" (bearish)
For very long-term analysis on these timeframes, consider using SMAs instead
Quick Reference Guide:
5m / 15m: EMA 9 & 21
1h / 4h: EMA 21 & 50
1D / 1W: EMA 50 & 200 (or switch to SMAs for even smoother signals)
Practical Trading Strategy with EMAs
📌 Why Use EMAs for Active Trading:
For active trading, use EMAs because they have faster movement compared to SMAs. This faster response to price changes allows you to catch trends earlier and exit trades before major reversals occur.
Three-EMA Trading System:
1. 9 EMA - Quick Trend Recognition:
Use the 9 EMA to understand the trend quickly
When price is above 9 EMA = Short-term uptrend
When price is below 9 EMA = Short-term downtrend
The 9 EMA reacts immediately to price momentum changes
Perfect for entry timing and quick trend identification
2. 21 EMA - Exit Signal and Trend Confirmation:
When the 21 EMA breaks (price crosses it), exit your trade
This is critical because when the 21 EMA breaks, the trend will likely reverse
The 21 EMA acts as your "stop-loss line"
Breaking the 21 EMA signals that the short-term momentum has shifted
Example: In an uptrend, when price crosses below 21 EMA, exit longs immediately
Example: In a downtrend, when price crosses above 21 EMA, exit shorts immediately
3. 50 EMA - Full Correction Understanding:
Use the 50 EMA to understand the complete correction
The 50 EMA shows where the full pullback or correction might end
When price reaches the 50 EMA, it often bounces (in a strong trend)
Breaking the 50 EMA indicates a deeper correction or potential trend reversal
Use it to gauge the strength of the overall trend
Customization Tips
Toggle unnecessary MAs off to reduce chart clutter based on your trading style and timeframe
For the 3-EMA trading strategy, enable only 9, 21, and 50 EMAs
For long timeframes (daily+), disable EMAs and use only SMAs to avoid over-reactive signals
Match your EMA selection to your timeframe using the guide above
Adjust colors to match your chart theme or to highlight specific MAs
Modify lengths to fit specific market conditions or asset volatility
Change source from close to high/low/HL2 for alternative perspectives
Use thicker lines for key decision MAs (edit linewidth in settings)
Color Scheme Rationale
EMAs (Warm Colors):
Yellow → Orange progression represents increasing timeframes while maintaining visual cohesion. The warm palette signals "active" or "fast-reacting" nature of EMAs, perfect for shorter timeframes and active trading.
SMAs (Cool Colors):
Blue → Purple progression provides clear visual distinction from EMAs. The cool palette suggests "stable," "slow," and "smooth" characteristics of SMAs, ideal for long timeframe analysis.
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic MA indicators, Multi-MA Suite provides:
Both EMA and SMA in one indicator (saves indicator slots)
Optimized MA selection based on speed characteristics - fast EMAs for short timeframes, slow SMAs for long timeframes
Clear timeframe-specific EMA recommendations for immediate use
Practical trading strategy included - 9 EMA for trend, 21 EMA for exit, 50 EMA for corrections
Individual control over each MA (toggle, color, parameters)
Thoughtful default settings based on widely-used trading periods
Color-coded system for instant visual differentiation
Clean, organized interface for efficient workflow
Installation & Usage

Gyspy Bot Trade Engine - V1.2B - Alerts - 12-7-25 - SignalLynxGypsy Bot Trade Engine (MK6 V1.2B) - Alerts & Visualization
Brought to you by Signal Lynx | Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Executive Summary & Architecture
Gypsy Bot (MK6 V1.2B) is not merely a strategy; it is a massive, modular Trade Engine built specifically for the TradingView Pine Script V6 environment. While most tools rely on a single dominant indicator to generate signals, Gypsy Bot functions as a sophisticated Consensus Algorithm.
Note: This is the Indicator / Alerts version of the engine. It is designed for visual analysis and generating live alert signals for automation. If you wish to see Backtest data (Equity Curves, Drawdown, Profit Factors), please use the Strategy version of this script.
The engine calculates data from up to 12 distinct Technical Analysis Modules simultaneously on every bar closing. It aggregates these signals into a "Vote Count" and only fires a signal plot when a user-defined threshold of concurring signals is met. This "Voting System" acts as a noise filter, requiring multiple independent mathematical models—ranging from volume flow and momentum to cyclical harmonics and trend strength—to agree on market direction.
Beyond entries, Gypsy Bot features a proprietary Risk Management suite called the Dump Protection Team (DPT). This logic layer operates independently of the entry modules, specifically scanning for "Moon" (Parabolic) or "Nuke" (Crash) volatility events to signal forced exits, preserving capital during Black Swan events.
2. ⚠️ The Philosophy of "Curve Fitting" (Must Read)
One must be careful when applying Gypsy Bot to new pairs or charts.
To be fully transparent: Gypsy Bot is, by definition, a very advanced curve-fitting engine. Because it grants the user granular control over 12 modules, dozens of thresholds, and specific voting requirements, it is extremely easy to "over-fit" the data. You can easily toggle switches until the charts look perfect in hindsight, only to have the signals fail in live markets because they were tuned to historical noise rather than market structure.
To use this engine successfully:
Visual Verification: Do not just look for "green arrows." Look for signals that occur at logical market structure points.
Stability: Ensure signals are not flickering. This script uses closed-candle logic for key decisions to ensure that once a signal plots, it remains painted.
Regular Maintenance is Mandatory: Markets shift regimes (e.g., from Bull Trend to Crab Range). Gypsy Bot settings should be reviewed and adjusted at regular intervals to ensure the voting logic remains aligned with current market volatility.
Timeframe Recommendations:
Gypsy Bot is optimized for High Time Frame (HTF) trend following. It generally produces the most reliable results on charts ranging from 1-Hour to 12-Hours, with the 4-Hour timeframe historically serving as the "sweet spot" for most major cryptocurrency assets.
3. The Voting Mechanism: How Entries Are Generated
The heart of the Gypsy Bot engine is the ActivateOrders input (found in the "Order Signal Modifier" settings).
The engine constantly monitors the output of all enabled Modules.
Long Votes: GoLongCount
Short Votes: GoShortCount
If you have 10 Modules enabled, and you set ActivateOrders to 7:
The engine will ONLY plot a Buy Signal if 7 or more modules return a valid "Buy" signal on the same closed candle.
If only 6 modules agree, the signal is rejected.
4. Technical Deep Dive: The 12 Modules
Gypsy Bot allows you to toggle the following modules On/Off individually to suit the asset you are trading.
Module 1: Modified Slope Angle (MSA)
Logic: Calculates the geometric angle of a moving average relative to the timeline.
Function: Filters out "lazy" trends. A trend is only considered valid if the slope exceeds a specific steepness threshold.
Module 2: Correlation Trend Indicator (CTI)
Logic: Measures how closely the current price action correlates to a straight line (a perfect trend).
Function: Ensures that we are moving up with high statistical correlation, reducing fake-outs.
Module 3: Ehlers Roofing Filter
Logic: A spectral filter combining High-Pass (trend removal) and Super Smoother (noise removal).
Function: Isolates the "Roof" of price action to catch cyclical turning points before standard moving averages.
Module 4: Forecast Oscillator
Logic: Uses Linear Regression forecasting to predict where price "should" be relative to where it is.
Function: Signals when the regression trend flips. Offers "Aggressive" and "Conservative" calculation modes.
Module 5: Chandelier ATR Stop
Logic: A volatility-based trend follower that hangs a "leash" (ATR multiple) from extremes.
Function: Used as an entry filter. If price is above the Chandelier line, the trend is Bullish.
Module 6: Crypto Market Breadth (CMB)
Logic: Pulls data from multiple major tickers (BTC, ETH, and Perpetual Contracts).
Function: Calculates "Market Health." If Bitcoin is rising but the rest of the market is dumping, this module can veto a trade.
Module 7: Directional Index Convergence (DIC)
Logic: Analyzes the convergence/divergence between Fast and Slow Directional Movement indices.
Function: Identifies when trend strength is expanding.
Module 8: Market Thrust Indicator (MTI)
Logic: A volume-weighted breadth indicator using Advance/Decline and Volume data.
Function: One of the most powerful modules. Confirms that price movement is supported by actual volume flow. Recommended setting: "SSMA" (Super Smoother).
Module 9: Simple Ichimoku Cloud
Logic: Traditional Japanese trend analysis.
Function: Checks for a "Kumo Breakout." Price must be fully above/below the Cloud to confirm entry.
Module 10: Simple Harmonic Oscillator
Logic: Analyzes harmonic wave properties to detect cyclical tops and bottoms.
Function: Serves as a counter-trend or early-reversal detector.
Module 11: HSRS Compression / Super AO
Logic: Detects volatility compression (HSRS) or Momentum/Trend confluence (Super AO).
Function: Great for catching explosive moves resulting from consolidation.
Module 12: Fisher Transform (MTF)
Logic: Converts price data into a Gaussian normal distribution.
Function: Identifies extreme price deviations. Uses Multi-Timeframe (MTF) logic to ensure you aren't trading against the major trend.
5. Global Inhibitors (The Veto Power)
Even if 12 out of 12 modules vote "Buy," Gypsy Bot performs a final safety check using Global Inhibitors.
Bitcoin Halving Logic: Prevents trading during chaotic weeks surrounding Halving events (dates projected through 2040).
Miner Capitulation: Uses Hash Rate Ribbons to identify bearish regimes when miners are shutting down.
ADX Filter: Prevents trading in "Flat/Choppy" markets (Low ADX).
CryptoCap Trend: Checks the total Crypto Market Cap chart for broad market alignment.
6. Risk Management & The Dump Protection Team (DPT)
Even in this Indicator version, the RM logic runs to generate Exit Signals.
Dump Protection Team (DPT): Detects "Nuke" (Crash) or "Moon" (Pump) volatility signatures. If triggered, it plots an immediate Exit Signal (Yellow Plot).
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Dynamically tightens stops in low volatility ("Dungeon") and loosens them in high volatility ("Penthouse").
Staged Take Profits: Plots TP1, TP2, and TP3 events on the chart for visual confirmation or partial exit alerts.
7. Recommended Setup Guide
When applying Gypsy Bot to a new chart, follow this sequence:
Set Timeframe: 4 Hours (4H).
Tune DPT: Adjust "Dump/Moon Protection" inputs first. These filter out bad signals during high volatility.
Tune Module 8 (MTI): Experiment with the MA Type (SSMA is recommended).
Select Modules: Enable/Disable modules based on the asset's personality (Trending vs. Ranging).
Voting Threshold: Adjust ActivateOrders to filter out noise.
Alert Setup: Once visually satisfied, use the "Any Alert Function Call" option when creating an alert in TradingView to capture all Buy/Sell/Close events generated by the engine.
8. Technical Specs
Engine Version: Pine Script V6
Repainting: This indicator uses Closed Candle data for all Risk Management and Entry decisions. This ensures that signals do not vanish after the candle closes.
Visuals:
Blue Plot: Buy/Sell Signal.
Yellow Plot: Risk Management (RM) / DPT Close Signal.
Green/Lime/Olive Plots: Take Profit hits.
Disclaimer:
This script is a complex algorithmic tool for market analysis. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of loss. Use this tool to assist your own decision-making, not to replace it.

Apex Trend & Liquidity Master with TP/SLThe Apex Trend & Liquidity Master is a systematic trading framework that identifies trend direction and key structural price levels for entry and exit decisions. The system uses a volatility-adaptive trend detection mechanism built on Hull Moving Averages with ATR-based bands to filter consolidation periods and isolate directional moves.
The liquidity detection engine identifies potential reversal zones by marking swing highs and lows that meet statistical significance thresholds. These zones represent areas where institutional order flow previously caused price rejection. Zones remain active until price closes through them, indicating mitigation of the level.
This implementation is an enhanced derivative of the original system with fully automated risk management. Stop losses are calculated using ATR multiples with entry candle wick protection as a minimum threshold, while take profits maintain a fixed 3:1 risk-reward ratio. An additional exit mechanism closes profitable positions when price reaches opposing supply or demand zones, providing early profit-taking at probable reversal points before full target completion.
Entry signals generate only on trend changes when volume exceeds average levels, reducing false breakouts in ranging conditions. The system includes complete position tracking with three distinct exit types: take profit hits, stop loss hits, and profitable zone contact exits. All calculations use confirmed historical data with no forward-looking bias, though supply/demand zone identification operates with a confirmation lag inherent to pivot point detection.
VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.
Disclaimer
The information provided by the "Dark Vector Scalping" indicator and this accompanying guide is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading cryptocurrencies, stocks, and forex involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You could lose some or all of your initial investment.
Dark VectorThe Dark Vector is a professional-grade trend-following system designed to solve the two most common causes of trading losses: over-trading during chop and exiting trends too early.
Unlike standard indicators that continuously recalculate based on every price tick, this system operates on a strict "State Machine" logic. This means it tracks the current market phase and refuses to issue conflicting signals. If the system is Long, it mathematically cannot issue another Long signal until the previous trend has concluded.
The system relies on three core engines:
1. The Trend Architecture (Modified SuperTrend) The backbone of the system is an ATR-based trailing stop mechanism. It creates a dynamic trend line that adjusts to volatility. When volatility expands, the line widens to prevent premature stop-outs during market noise. When volatility contracts, the line tightens to protect profits.
2. The Noise Gate (Choppiness Index) This is the system's safety filter. It measures the fractal efficiency of the market—essentially determining if price is moving in a clear direction or moving sideways. When the market enters a consolidation phase (sideways chop), the Noise Gate activates, turning the candles gray and physically blocking all new entry signals. This prevents the user from entering trades in low-probability environments.
3. The Singularity State Machine This internal logic enforces trading discipline. It treats the trend as a binary state (Bullish or Bearish). It forces an alternating signal pattern, ensuring that you are only alerted to the specific moment a major trend reversal occurs, rather than being bombarded with repetitive signals during a long run.
Best Way to Use This System
To maximize profitability and minimize false positives, it is recommended to use the "Regime & Alignment" methodology outlined below.
1. The Traffic Light Rule
Before placing any trade, observe the color of the candlesticks on the chart:
Green Candles: The market is in a confirmed Bullish Impulse. You should only look for Long entries or hold existing positions. Shorting is statistically dangerous here.
Red Candles: The market is in a confirmed Bearish Impulse. You should only look for Short entries or hold cash. Buying the dip here is high-risk.
Gray Candles: The market is in a Chop/Squeeze regime. The Noise Gate is active. Do not open new positions. This indicates indecision, and the market is likely to destroy option premiums or stop out tight leverage. Wait for the candles to return to Green or Red before acting.
2. The Entry Trigger
Enter a trade only when a text label (LONG or SHORT) appears.
Long Signal: Occurs when price closes above the Trend Line AND the market is not in a Chop zone.
Short Signal: Occurs when price closes below the Trend Line AND the market is not in a Chop zone.
3. The Exit Strategy
There are two ways to manage the trade once active:
The Trend Follower (Conservative): Hold the position until the Trend Line flips color. This captures the maximum duration of the move but may give back some profit at the very end.
The Stop Loss (Active): The Trend Line (the white value in your dashboard) acts as your Trailing Stop. If a candle closes beyond this line, the trend is technically invalidated. You should exit immediately.
4. Multi-Timeframe Alignment (The Golden Rule)
The highest win rates are achieved when your trading timeframe aligns with the higher-order trend.
Step 1: Check the 4-Hour chart. Is the Trend Line Green?
Step 2: Switch to the 15-Minute chart.
Step 3: Only take the LONG signals on the 15-Minute chart. Ignore all Short signals.
Reasoning: Counter-trend trades often fail. By trading only in the direction of the higher timeframe, you are swimming with the current, not against it.
Recommended Settings by Style
Swing Trading (Daily/4H): Keep the Trend Factor at 4.0. This ignores daily noise and keeps you in the trade for weeks or months.
Day Trading (1H/15m): Lower the Trend Factor to 3.0. This makes the system more reactive to intraday reversals.
Scalping (5m): Lower the Trend Factor to 2.0 and the ATR Length to 7. This is aggressive and requires strict adherence to the Stop Loss.

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Strategy - 11-29-25 - SignalLynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko Strategy with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR) — a volatility-aware, structure-respecting swing-trading system built on top of a full Risk Management (RM) Template from Signal Lynx.
Instead of relying on static lookbacks (like “14-period RSI”) or plain MA crosses, Superior RBR:
Adapts its range definition to market volatility in real time
Emulates Renko Bricks on a standard, time-based chart (no Renko chart type required)
Uses a stack of Laguerre Filters to detect genuine impulse vs. noise
Adds an Adaptive SuperTrend powered by a small k-means-style clustering routine on volatility
Under the hood, this script also includes the full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine:
A state machine that separates “Signal” from “Execution”
Layered exit tools: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profit, Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS), and an RSI-style stop (RSIS)
Designed for non-repainting behavior on closed candles by basing execution-critical logic on previous-bar data
We are publishing this as an open-source template so traders and developers can leverage a professional-grade RM engine while integrating their own signal logic if they wish.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4 Hours (H4) and above. This is a high-conviction swing-trading system, not a scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile instruments that still respect market structure:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold (XAUUSD), high-volatility Forex pairs (e.g., GBPJPY), indices with clean ranges.
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection.
It hunts for genuine expansion out of ranges, not tiny mean-reversion nibbles.
Key Feature:
Renko Emulation on time-based candles.
We mathematically model Renko Bricks and overlay them on your standard chart to define:
“Equilibrium” zones (inside the brick structure)
“Breakout / impulse” zones (when price AND the impulse line depart from the bricks)
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
All RM execution logic uses confirmed historical data (no future bars, no security() lookahead). Intrabar flicker during formation is allowed, but once a bar closes the engine’s decisions are stable.
Core Toggles & Filters:
Enable Longs and Shorts independently
Optional Weekend filter (block trades on Saturday/Sunday)
Per-module toggles: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profits, AATS, RSIS
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Superior RBR
Superior RBR builds its entry signal from multiple mathematical layers working together.
1) Adaptive Lookback (Volatility Normalization)
Instead of a fixed 100-bar or 200-bar range, the script:
Computes ATR-based volatility over a user-defined period.
Normalizes that volatility relative to its recent min/max.
Maps the normalized value into a dynamic lookback window between a minimum and maximum (e.g., 4 to 100 bars).
High Volatility:
The lookback shrinks, so the system reacts faster to explosive moves.
Low Volatility:
The lookback expands, so the system sees a “bigger picture” and filters out chop.
All the core “Range High/Low” and “Range Close High/Low” boundaries are built on top of this adaptive window.
2) Range Construction & Quick Ranges
The engine constructs several nested ranges:
Outer Range:
rangeHighFinal – dynamic highest high
rangeLowFinal – dynamic lowest low
Inner Close Range:
rangeCloseHighFinal – highest close
rangeCloseLowFinal – lowest close
Quick Ranges:
“Half-length” variants of those, used to detect more responsive changes in structure and volatility.
These ranges define:
The macro box price is trading inside
Shorter-term “pressure zones” where price is coiling before expansion
3) Renko Emulation (The Bricks)
Rather than using the Renko chart type (which discards time), this script emulates Renko behavior on your normal candles:
A “brick size” is defined either:
As a standard percentage move, or
As a volatility-driven (ATR) brick, optionally inhibited by a minimum standard size
The engine tracks a base value and derives:
brickUpper – top of the emulated brick
brickLower – bottom of the emulated brick
When price moves sufficiently beyond those levels, the brick “shifts”, and the directional memory (renkoDir) updates:
renkoDir = +2 when bricks are advancing upward
renkoDir = -2 when bricks are stepping downward
You can think of this as a synthetic Renko tape overlaid on time-based candles:
Inside the brick: equilibrium / consolidation
Breaking away from the brick: momentum / expansion
4) Impulse Tracking with Laguerre Filters
The script uses multiple Laguerre Filters to smooth price and brick-derived data without traditional lag.
Key filters include:
LagF_1 / LagF_W: Based on brick upper/lower baselines
LagF_Q: Based on HLCC4 (high + low + 2×close)/4
LagF_Y / LagF_P: Complex averages combining brick structures and range averages
LagF_V (Primary Impulse Line):
A smooth, high-level impulse line derived from a blend of the above plus the outer ranges
Conceptually:
When the impulse line pushes away from the brick structure and continues in one direction, an impulse move is underway.
When its direction flips and begins to roll over, the impulse is fading, hinting at mean reversion back into the range.
5) Fib-Based Structure & Swaps
The system also layers in Fib levels derived from the adaptive ranges:
Standard levels (12%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61%, 76.8%, 88%) from the main range
A secondary “swap” set derived from close-range dynamics (fib12Swap, fib23Swap, etc.)
These Fibs are used to:
Bucket price into structural zones (below 12, between 23–38, etc.)
Detect breakouts when price and Laguerre move beyond key Fib thresholds
Drive zSwap logic (where a secondary Fib set becomes the active structure once certain conditions are met)
6) Adaptive SuperTrend with K-Means-Style Volatility Clustering
Under the hood, the script uses a small k-means-style clustering routine on ATR:
ATR is measured over a fixed period
The range of ATR values is split into Low, Medium, High volatility centroids
Current ATR is assigned to the nearest centroid (cluster)
From that, a SuperTrend variant (STK) is computed with dynamic sensitivity:
In quiet markets, SuperTrend can afford to be tighter
In wild markets, it widens appropriately to avoid constant whipsaw
This SuperTrend-based oscillator (LagF_K and its signals) is then combined with the brick and Laguerre stack to confirm valid trend regimes.
7) Final Baseline Signals (+2 / -2)
The “brain” of Superior RBR lives in the Baseline & Signal Generation block:
Two composite signals are built: B1 and B2:
They combine:
Fib breakouts
Renko direction (renkoDir)
Expansion direction (expansionQuickDir)
Multiple Laguerre alignments (LagF_Q, LagF_W, LagF_Y, LagF_Z, LagF_P, LagF_V)
They also factor in whether Fib structures are expanding or contracting.
A user toggle selects the “Baseline” signal:
finalSig = B2 (default) or B1 (alternate baseline)
finalSig is then filtered through the RM state machine and only when everything aligns, we emit:
+2 = Long / Buy signal
-2 = Short / Sell signal
0 = No new trade
Those +2 / -2 values are what feed the Risk Management Engine.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine, a proprietary state machine built to separate Signal from Execution.
Instead of firing orders directly on indicator conditions, we:
Convert the raw signal into a clean integer (Fin = +2 / -2 / 0)
Feed it into a Trade State Machine that understands:
Are we flat?
Are we in a long or short?
Are we in a closing sequence?
Should we permit re-entry now or wait?
Logic Injection / Template Concept:
The RM engine expects a simple integer:
+2 → Buy
-2 → Sell
Everything else (0) is “no new trade”
This makes the script a template:
You can remove the Superior RBR block
Drop in your own logic (RSI, MACD, price action, etc.)
As long as you output +2 or -2 into the same signal channel, the RM engine can drive all exits and state transitions.
Aggressive vs Conservative Modes:
The input AgressiveRM (Aggressive RM) governs how we interpret signals:
Conservative Mode (Aggressive RM = false):
Uses a more filtered internal signal (AF) to open trades
Effectively waits for a clean trend flip / confirmation before new entries
Minimizes whipsaw at the cost of fewer trades
Aggressive Mode (Aggressive RM = true):
Reacts directly to the fresh alert (AO) pulses
Allows faster re-entries in the same direction after RM-based exits
Still respects your pyramiding setting; this script ships with pyramiding = 0 by default, so it will not stack multiple positions unless you change that parameter in the strategy() call.
The state machine enforces discipline on top of your signal logic, reducing double-fires and signal spam.
C. Advanced Exit Protocols (Layered Defense)
The exit side is where this template really shines. Instead of a single “take profit or stop loss,” it uses multiple, cooperating layers.
1) Hard Stop Loss
A classic percentage-based Stop Loss (SL) relative to the entry price.
Acts as a final “catastrophic protection” layer for unexpected moves.
2) Standard Trailing Stop
A percentage-based Trailing Stop (TS) that:
Activates only after price has moved a certain percentage in your favor (tsActivation)
Then trails price by a configurable percentage (ts)
This is a straightforward, battle-tested trailing mechanism.
3) Staged Take Profits (Three Levels)
The script supports three staged Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3):
Each stage has:
Activation percentage (how far price must move in your favor)
Trailing amount for that stage
Position percentage to close
Example setup:
TP1:
Activate at +10%
Trailing 5%
Close 10% of the position
TP2:
Activate at +20%
Trailing 10%
Close another 10%
TP3:
Activate at +30%
Trailing 5%
Close the remaining 80% (“runner”)
You can tailor these quantities for partial scaling out vs. letting a core position ride.
4) Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
AATS is a sophisticated volatility- and structure-aware stop:
Uses Hirashima Sugita style levels (HSRS) to model “floors” and “ceilings” of price:
Dungeon → Lower floors → Mid → Upper floors → Penthouse
These levels classify where current price sits within a long-term distribution.
Combines HSRS with Bollinger-style envelopes and EMAs to determine:
Is price extended far into the upper structure?
Is it compressed near the lower ranges?
From this, it computes an adaptive factor that controls how tight or loose the trailing level (aATS / bATS) should be:
High Volatility / Penthouse areas:
Stop loosens to avoid getting wicked out by inevitable spikes.
Low Volatility / compressed structure:
Stop tightens to lock in and protect profit.
AATS is designed to be the “smart last line” that responds to context instead of a single fixed percentage.
5) RSI-Style Stop (RSIS)
On top of AATS, the script includes a RSI-like regime filter:
A McGinley Dynamic mean of price plus ATR bands creates a dynamic channel.
Crosses above the top band and below the lower band change a directional state.
When enabled (UseRSIS):
RSIS can confirm or veto AATS closes:
For longs: A shift to bearish RSIS can force exits sooner.
For shorts: A shift to bullish RSIS can do the same.
This extra layer helps avoid over-reactive stops in strong trends while still respecting a regime change when it happens.
D. Repainting Protection
Many strategies look incredible in the Strategy Tester but fail in live trading because they rely on intrabar values or future-knowledge functions.
This template is built with closed-candle realism in mind:
The Risk Management logic explicitly uses previous bar data (open , high , low , close ) for the key decisions on:
Trailing stop updates
TP triggers
SL hits
RM state transitions
No security() lookahead or future-bar access is used.
This means:
Backtest behavior is designed to match what you can actually get with TradingView alerts and live automation.
Signals may “flicker” intrabar while the candle is forming (as with any strategy), but on closed candles, the RM decisions are stable and non-repainting.
4. For Developers & Modders
We strongly encourage you to mod this script.
To plug your own strategy into the RM engine:
Look for the section titled:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You will see composite logic building B1 and B2, and then selecting:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
You can replace the content used to generate baseSig / altSig with your own logic, for example:
RSI crosses
MACD histogram flips
Candle pattern detectors
External condition flags
Requirements are simple:
Your final logic must output:
2 → Buy signal
-2 → Sell signal
0 → No new trade
That output flows into the RM engine via finalSig → AlertOpen → state machine → Fin.
Once you wire your signals into finalSig, the entire Risk Management system (Stops, TPs, AATS, RSIS, re-entry logic, weekend filters, long/short toggles) becomes available for your custom strategy without re-inventing the wheel.
This makes Superior RBR not just a strategy, but a reference architecture for serious Pine dev work.

Super-AO with Risk Management Alerts Template - 11-29-25Super-AO with Risk Management: ALERTS & AUTOMATION Edition
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Indicator / Alerts companion to the Super-AO Strategy.
While the Strategy version is built for backtesting (verifying profitability and checking historical performance), this Indicator version is built for Live Execution.
We understand the frustration of finding a great strategy, only to realize you can't easily hook it up to your trading bot. This script solves that. It contains the exact same "Super-AO" logic and "Risk Management Engine" as the strategy version, but it is optimized to send signals to automation platforms like Signal Lynx, 3Commas, or any Webhook listener.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Purpose: Live Signal Generation & Automation.
Workflow:
Use the Strategy Version to find profitable settings.
Copy those settings into this Indicator Version.
Set a TradingView Alert using the "Any Alert() function call" condition.
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above.
Compatibility: Works with any webhook-based automation service.
3. Why Two Scripts?
Pine Script operates in two distinct modes:
Strategy Mode: Calculates equity, drawdowns, and simulates orders. Great for research, but sometimes complex to automate.
Indicator Mode: Plots visual data on the chart. This is the preferred method for setting up robust alerts because it is lighter weight and plots specific values that automation services can read easily.
The Golden Rule: Always backtest on the Strategy, but trade on the Indicator. This ensures that what you see in your history matches what you execute in real-time.
4. How to Automate This Script
This script uses a "Visual Spike" method to trigger alerts. Instead of drawing equity curves, it plots numerical values at the bottom of your chart when a trade event occurs.
The Signal Map:
Blue Spike (2 / -2): Entry Signal (Long / Short).
Yellow Spike (1 / -1): Risk Management Close (Stop Loss / Trend Reversal).
Green Spikes (1, 2, 3): Take Profit Levels 1, 2, and 3.
Setup Instructions:
Add this indicator to your chart.
Open your TradingView "Alerts" tab.
Create a new Alert.
Condition: Select SAO - RM Alerts Template.
Trigger: Select Any Alert() function call.
Message: Paste your JSON webhook message (provided by your bot service).
5. The Logic Under the Hood
Just like the Strategy version, this indicator utilizes:
SuperTrend + Awesome Oscillator: High-probability swing trading logic.
Non-Repainting Engine: Calculates signals based on confirmed candle closes to ensure the alert you get matches the chart reality.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Internally calculates volatility to determine when to send a "Close" signal.
6. About Signal Lynx

Super-AO with Risk Management Strategy Template - 11-29-25Super-AO Strategy with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to the Super-AO Strategy. This is more than just a buy/sell indicator; it is a complete, open-source Risk Management (RM) Template designed for the Pine Script community.
At its core, this script implements a robust swing-trading strategy combining the SuperTrend (for macro direction) and the Awesome Oscillator (for momentum). However, the real power lies under the hood: a custom-built Risk Management Engine that handles trade states, prevents repainting, and manages complex exit conditions like Staged Take Profits and Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stops (AATS).
We are releasing this code to help traders transition from simple indicators to professional-grade strategy structures.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above. Designed for Swing Trading.
Best Assets: "Well-behaved" assets with clear liquidity (Major Forex pairs, BTC, ETH, Indices).
Strategy Type: Trend Following + Momentum Confirmation.
Key Feature: The Risk Management Engine is modular. You can strip out the "Super-AO" logic and insert your own strategy logic into the template easily.
Repainting: Strictly Non-Repainting. The engine calculates logic based on confirmed candle closes.
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Super-AO
The entry logic is based on the convergence of two classic indicators:
SuperTrend: Determines the overall trend bias (Green/Red).
Awesome Oscillator (AO): Measures market momentum.
The Signal:
LONG (+2): SuperTrend is Green AND AO is above the Zero Line AND AO is Rising.
SHORT (-2): SuperTrend is Red AND AO is below the Zero Line AND AO is Falling.
By requiring momentum to agree with the trend, this system filters out many false signals found in ranging markets.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features a proprietary State Machine designed by Signal Lynx. Unlike standard strategies that simply fire orders, this engine separates the Signal from the Execution.
Logic Injection: The engine listens for a specific integer signal: +2 (Buy) or -2 (Sell). This makes the code a Template. You can delete the Super-AO section, write your own logic, and simply pass a +2 or -2 to the RM_EngineInput variable. The engine handles the rest.
Trade States: The engine tracks the state of the trade (Entry, In-Trade, Exiting) to prevent signal spamming.
Aggressive vs. Conservative:
Conservative Mode: Waits for a full trend reversal before taking a new trade.
Aggressive Mode: Allows for re-entries if the trend is strong and valid conditions present themselves again (Pyramiding Type 1).
C. Advanced Exit Protocols
The strategy does not rely on a single exit point. It employs a "Layered Defense" approach:
Hard Stop Loss: A fixed percentage safety net.
Staged Take Profits (Scaling Out): The script allows you to set 3 distinct Take Profit levels. For example, you can close 10% of your position at TP1, 10% at TP2, and let the remaining 80% ride the trend.
Trailing Stop: A standard percentage-based trailer.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): This is a highly sophisticated volatility stop. It calculates market structure using Hirashima Sugita (HSRS) levels and Bollinger Bands to determine the "floor" and "ceiling" of price action.
If volatility is high: The stop loosens to prevent wicking out.
If volatility is low: The stop tightens to protect profit.
D. Repainting Protection
Many Pine Script strategies look great in backtesting but fail in live trading because they rely on "real-time" price data that disappears when the candle closes.
This Risk Management engine explicitly pulls data from the previous candle close (close , high , low ) for its calculations. This ensures that the backtest results you see match the reality of live execution.
4. For Developers & Modders
We encourage you to tear this code apart!
Look for the section titled // Super-AO Strategy Logic.
Replace that block with your own RSI, MACD, or Price Action logic.
Ensure your logic outputs a 2 for Buy and -2 for Sell.
Connect it to RM_EngineInput.
You now have a fully functioning Risk Management system for your custom strategy.

Retracement Strategy [OmegaTools]Retracement Strategy is a systematic trend–retracement framework designed to identify directional opportunities after a confirmed momentum shift, and to manage exits using either trend reversals or overextension conditions. It is built around a smoothed RSI regime filter and a simple, price-based retracement trigger, making it applicable across a wide range of markets and timeframes while remaining transparent and easy to interpret.
The strategy begins by defining the underlying trend through a two-stage RSI signal. A standard RSI is computed over the user-defined Length input, then smoothed with a short moving average to reduce noise. Two symmetric thresholds are derived from the Threshold parameter: an upper band at 100 minus the threshold and a lower band at the threshold itself. When the smoothed RSI crosses above the upper band, the environment is classified as bullish and the internal trend state is set to uptrend. When the smoothed RSI crosses below the lower band, the environment is classified as bearish and the trend state becomes downtrend. When RSI moves back into the central zone between the two bands, the trend is considered neutral. In addition to the current trend, the strategy tracks the last non-neutral trend direction, which is used to detect genuine trend changes rather than transient oscillations.
Once a trend is established, the strategy looks for retracement entries in the direction of that trend. For long setups in an uptrend, it computes the lowest low over the previous Length minus one bars, excluding the current bar. A long signal is generated when price dips below this recent low while the trend state remains bullish. Symmetrically, for short setups in a downtrend, it computes the highest high over the previous Length minus one bars and enters short when price spikes above this recent high while the trend state remains bearish. This logic is designed to capture pullbacks against the prevailing RSI-defined trend, entering when the market tests or slightly violates recent extremes, rather than chasing breakouts. The candles are visually coloured to reflect the detected trend, highlighting bullish and bearish environments while keeping neutral phases distinguishable on the chart. An ATR-based measure is used solely to position the “UP” and “DN” labels on the chart for clearer visualisation of entry points; it does not directly influence position sizing or stop calculation in this implementation.
Take profit and stop loss behaviour are fully parameterized through the “Take Profit” and “Stop Loss” inputs, each offering three modes: None, Trend Change and Extension. When “Trend Change” is selected for the take profit, the strategy will only exit profitable positions when a confirmed trend reversal occurs. For a long position, this means that the strategy will close the trade when the trend state flips from uptrend to downtrend, and the last recorded trend direction validates that this is a genuine reversal rather than a neutral fluctuation; the same logic applies symmetrically for short positions. When “Extension” is selected as the take profit mode, the strategy closes profitable long trades when the smoothed RSI reaches or exceeds the upper threshold, interpreted as an overbought extension within the bullish regime, and closes profitable short trades when the smoothed RSI falls to or below the lower threshold, interpreted as an oversold extension within the bearish regime. When “None” is chosen, the strategy does not apply any explicit take profit logic, leaving trades to be managed by the stop loss settings or by user discretion in backtesting.
The stop loss parameter works in a parallel way. With “Trend Change” selected as stop loss, any open long position is closed when the trend flips from uptrend to downtrend, regardless of whether the trade is currently in profit or loss, and any open short is closed when the trend flips from downtrend to uptrend. This turns the RSI trend regime into a hard invalidation rule: once the underlying momentum structure reverses, the position is exited. With “Extension” selected for stop loss, long positions are closed when RSI falls back below the upper band and moves towards the opposite side of the range, while short positions are closed when RSI rises above the lower band and moves towards the upper side. In practice, this acts as a dynamic exit based on the oscillator moving out of a favourable context for the existing trade. Selecting “None” for stop loss disables these automatic exits, leaving only the take profit logic, if any, to manage the position. Because take profit and stop loss configuration are independent, the user can construct different profiles, such as pure trend-change exits on both sides, pure overextension exits, or a mix (for example, take profit on overextension and stop loss on trend reversal).
This strategy is designed as an analytical and backtesting framework rather than a finished plug-and-play trading system. It does not include position sizing, risk-per-trade controls, multi-timeframe confirmation, volatility filters or instrument-specific fine-tuning. Its primary purpose is to provide a clear, rule-based structure for testing retracement logic within RSI-defined trends, and to allow users to explore how different exit regimes (trend-change based versus extension based) affect performance on their instruments and timeframes of interest.
Nothing in this script or its description should be interpreted as financial advice, investment recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Past performance on backtests does not guarantee future results. The behaviour of this strategy can vary significantly across symbols, timeframes and market conditions, and correlations, volatility and liquidity can change without warning. Before considering any live application, users should thoroughly backtest and forward test the strategy on their own data, adjust parameters to their risk profile and instrument characteristics, and integrate proper money management and trade management rules. Use of this script is entirely at the user’s own risk.
Buy Sell SignalBuy Sell Signal - EMA Crossover with Dynamic Risk Management
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines a dual EMA crossover system with ATR-based dynamic stop loss and take profit levels to provide complete trade management signals. Unlike basic EMA crossover scripts, this tool automatically calculates and displays entry points, stop losses, and take profit targets based on market volatility, offering traders a complete trading framework in a single indicator.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator uses three core components working together:
Trend Detection: A fast EMA (default 5) and slow EMA (default 13) identify trend direction. When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it signals bullish momentum; when it crosses below, it signals bearish momentum.
Entry Validation: Optional candle confirmation filter ensures the crossover is accompanied by a bullish/bearish candle close, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Risk Management: Uses ATR (Average True Range, default 14 periods) to calculate:
Stop Loss: Positioned below/above recent swing low/high minus ATR multiplier (default 0.5x)
Take Profit: Calculated using customizable risk-reward ratio (default 3:1)
KEY FEATURES
✅ Automatic Position Tracking: Monitors active trades and displays current position status (LONG/SHORT/No position)
✅ Visual Trade Management: Shows entry price (white dashed line), stop loss (red line), and take profit (green line) in real-time
✅ Trade Outcome Signals: Displays clear markers when TP is hit (🎯), SL is triggered (❌), or position is invalidated by opposite signal
✅ Information Dashboard: Live table showing entry price, SL, TP, and actual R:R ratio
✅ Smart Position Invalidation: Automatically closes and invalidates previous positions when opposite trend signal appears
✅ Customizable Alerts: Five alert conditions for BUY/SELL signals, TP hits, SL triggers, and invalidations
INPUTS
Fast EMA Length (default 5): Responsive to recent price action
Slow EMA Length (default 13): Defines broader trend direction
ATR Period (default 14): Volatility measurement period
SL Multiplier (default 0.5): Distance from swing point to stop loss
Risk:Reward Ratio (default 3.0): Target profit relative to risk
Candle Confirmation (default ON): Requires bullish/bearish candle on crossover
HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes)
Adjust EMA periods based on your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading)
Set your preferred risk-reward ratio
Enable alerts for automated notifications
When a BUY/SELL signal appears, the indicator automatically calculates and displays your complete trade plan
Monitor the information table for live position updates
Exit when TP is reached or SL is triggered
TRADING METHODOLOGY
This script implements a momentum-following strategy based on exponential moving average crossovers, enhanced with volatility-adjusted risk parameters. The ATR-based stop loss adapts to market conditions—wider stops in volatile markets, tighter stops in calm markets. The position invalidation feature prevents traders from holding outdated positions when market sentiment shifts.
BEST PRACTICES
Use on trending markets for best results
Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) produce fewer but more reliable signals.
For scalpe use 5 and 15 minutes(Risk).
Consider market context and fundamental factors alongside signals
Adjust ATR multiplier based on asset volatility
Test different EMA combinations for your preferred instruments
ORIGINALITY
While EMA crossover systems are common, this script's value lies in its complete integration of entry logic, dynamic risk management, position tracking, and automated invalidation—features typically requiring multiple separate indicators. The ATR-based stop loss calculation and automatic R:R visualization provide practical trade execution guidance that basic crossover indicators lack.

Float Rotation TrackerFloat Rotation Tracker - Quick Reference Guide
What is Float Rotation?
Float Rotation = Cumulative Daily Volume ÷ Float
Example:
Float = 5,000,000 shares
Day Volume = 7,500,000 shares
Rotation = 7.5M ÷ 5M = 1.5x (150%)
When rotation hits 1x (100%), every available share has theoretically changed hands at least once during the trading day.
Why It Matters

Common Questions
Q: Why is my float showing "Manual (no data)"?
A: TradingView doesn't have float data for this stock. Enter the float manually in settings after looking it up on Finviz or Yahoo Finance.
Q: The rotation seems too high/low - is the float wrong?
A: Possibly. Cross-check float on Finviz. Recent offerings or share structure changes may not be reflected in TradingView's data.
Q: What if float rotates early in the day?
A: Early 1x rotation (within first hour) is very bullish - indicates massive interest. Watch for continuation patterns.
Q: High rotation but price is dropping?
A: This is distribution - large holders are selling into demand. High rotation doesn't guarantee price direction, just volatility.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: The indicator resets daily, so it's designed for intraday use. You could note multi-day rotation patterns manually.

Happy Trading! 🔥
Universal Scalper Indicator [Crypto/Forex/Gold]Universal Scalper Pro is an all-in-one scalping system designed for the 15-Minute Timeframe. It automates the analysis of trend, volatility, and risk management into a single, high-contrast dashboard.
Unlike standard crossover indicators, this system filters out low-volatility "noise" using a built-in ADX engine and automatically calculates dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on market volatility (ATR).
It is engineered to work universally on:
Crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, Altcoins)
Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil)
Forex (Major & Minor Pairs)
Stocks (High volume tech stocks like NVDA, TSLA)
📈 How It Works (The Strategy)
1. The Trend Engine (9/21 EMA) The core logic utilizes a Fast (9) and Slow (21) Exponential Moving Average crossover.
Bullish Signal: The 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA.
Bearish Signal: The 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA. This specific combination is chosen for its responsiveness to 15-minute intraday trends.
2. The Noise Filter (ADX > 15) To prevent "whipsaws" (fake signals during sideways markets), the script includes a Volatility Filter based on the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Signals are rejected if the ADX is below 15.
This ensures you only receive alerts when there is sufficient momentum to sustain a move.
3. Dynamic Risk Management (ATR) The script uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels that adapt to the specific asset's volatility.
Stop Loss: Placed at 1.5x ATR from the entry. (Tight enough to preserve capital, wide enough to survive standard market noise).
Take Profit: Placed at 2.0x ATR from the entry. (Provides a healthy 1:1.3 Risk/Reward ratio).
🚀 Key Features
Universal Dashboard: A bottom-right panel displays the live Trend Status, Entry Price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit. It automatically formats decimals for any asset (e.g., 2 decimals for Gold, 5 for Forex, 8 for Crypto).
"Sticky" Memory: The dashboard retains the prices of the last valid signal, allowing you to manage your trade even after the signal candle closes.
Trend Cloud: A visual Green/Red zone between the EMAs helps you instantly identify the market bias.
Unified Alerts: A single alert setup ("Any alert() function call") sends the Asset Name, Entry, SL, and TP directly to your phone.
🛠️ How to Use
Timeframe: Set your chart to 15 Minutes (15m).
Wait for the Signal: Look for the "BUY" (Green) or "SELL" (Red) label on the chart.
Check the Dashboard: Ensure the "STATUS" is BULLISH (for buys) or BEARISH (for sells). If the status says "WAIT", do not trade.
Execute: Enter the trade using the exact Stop Loss and Take Profit levels shown on the dashboard.

BTC Risk Metric DCA Adapter (3Commas Webhook Strategy)Risk Metric DCA Adapter (3Commas Webhook Strategy) - WORK IN PROGRESS
This Pine Script strategy, originally inspired by the Risk Metric Indicator, is fundamentally engineered as an Adapter to interface with external trading bots like 3Commas via Webhooks. It calculates a dynamic market risk score and translates that score into specific dollar-cost averaging (DCA) entry levels and tiered profit-taking exits.
Key Features & Logic
Risk Metric Calculation (Credit to The Trading Parrot):
The strategy incorporates a complex, multi-timeframe Risk Metric calculation based on daily and weekly moving averages (SMA) and standard deviation (StDev). This metric aims to quantify the current market overextension or compression relative to long-term historical data. The resulting score dictates the level of conviction for a new trade.
Tiered DCA Entry Sizing:
The strategy defines three distinct Buy Levels (L1, L2, L3) corresponding to increasingly favorable (lower) Risk Metric scores.
L1 (Base): Risk is moderate, initiating the minimum defined trade amount.
L2 (Scaled): Risk is low, initiating L1 amount + L2 amount.
L3 (Aggressive): Risk is very low, initiating L1 + L2 + L3 amounts.
Tiered Profit-Taking Exits:
The strategy implements a staggered, partial profit-taking approach based on the Risk Metric rising:
Sell L1 & L2: Closes a percentage of the current position when the Risk Metric reaches defined high thresholds, locking in partial profits.
Sell L3 (Full Exit): Closes the remaining position when the Risk Metric reaches the highest defined threshold.
The Adapter Function (Webhook Integration)
This script is unique because it uses the Pine Script strategy() function to trigger Order Fills, which are necessary to access powerful placeholders in the TradingView alert system.
Trigger Type: The alert must be set to trigger on Any order fill.
Dynamic Webhook Data: Instead of using fixed alert() commands, the strategy generates dynamic labels (e.g., BUY_ENTRY_L3_USD_1000 or SELL_L1_PCT_25) using the strategy.entry and strategy.close commands.
Data Transfer: The alert message then uses the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} to pass these dynamic labels to the 3Commas bot, allowing the bot to execute the precise action (e.g., start_deal_with_volume_in_quote_currency or close_deal_at_market_percentage).

Bifurcation Zone - CAEBifurcation Zone — Cognitive Adversarial Engine (BZ-CAE)
Bifurcation Zone — CAE (BZ-CAE) is a next-generation divergence detection system enhanced by a Cognitive Adversarial Engine that evaluates both sides of every potential trade before presenting signals. Unlike traditional divergence indicators that show every price-oscillator disagreement regardless of context, BZ-CAE applies comprehensive market-state intelligence to identify only the divergences that occur in favorable conditions with genuine probability edges.
The system identifies structural bifurcation points — critical junctures where price and momentum disagree, signaling potential reversals or continuations — then validates these opportunities through five interconnected intelligence layers: Trend Conviction Scoring , Directional Momentum Alignment , Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling , Adversarial Validation , and Confidence Scoring . The result is a selective, context-aware signal system that filters noise and highlights high-probability setups.
This is not a "buy the arrow" indicator. It's a decision support framework that teaches you how to read market state, evaluate divergence quality, and make informed trading decisions based on quantified intelligence rather than hope.
What Sets BZ-CAE Apart: Technical Architecture
The Problem With Traditional Divergence Indicators
Most divergence indicators operate on a simple rule: if price makes a higher high and RSI makes a lower high, show a bearish signal. If price makes a lower low and RSI makes a higher low, show a bullish signal. This creates several critical problems:
Context Blindness : They show counter-trend signals in powerful trends that rarely reverse, leading to repeated losses as you fade momentum.
Signal Spam : Every minor price-oscillator disagreement generates an alert, overwhelming you with low-quality setups and creating analysis paralysis.
No Quality Ranking : All signals are treated identically. A marginal divergence in choppy conditions receives the same visual treatment as a high-conviction setup at a major exhaustion point.
Single-Sided Evaluation : They ask "Is this a good long?" without checking if the short case is overwhelmingly stronger, leading you into obvious bad trades.
Static Configuration : You manually choose RSI 14 or Stochastic 14 and hope it works, with no systematic way to validate if that's optimal for your instrument.
BZ-CAE's Solution: Cognitive Adversarial Intelligence
BZ-CAE solves these problems through an integrated five-layer intelligence architecture:
1. Trend Conviction Score (TCS) — 0 to 1 Scale
Most indicators check if ADX is above 25 to determine "trending" conditions. This binary approach misses nuance. TCS is a weighted composite metric:
Formula : 0.35 × normalize(ADX, 10, 35) + 0.35 × structural_strength + 0.30 × htf_alignment
Structural Strength : 10-bar SMA of consecutive directional bars. Captures persistence — are bulls or bears consistently winning?
HTF Alignment : Multi-timeframe EMA stacking (20/50/100/200). When all EMAs align in the same direction, you're in institutional trend territory.
Purpose : Quantifies how "locked in" the trend is. When TCS exceeds your threshold (default 0.80), the system knows to avoid counter-trend trades unless other factors override.
Interpretation :
TCS > 0.85: Very strong trend — counter-trading is extremely high risk
TCS 0.70-0.85: Strong trend — favor continuation, require exhaustion for reversals
TCS 0.50-0.70: Moderate trend — context matters, both directions viable
TCS < 0.50: Weak/choppy — reversals more viable, range-bound conditions
2. Directional Momentum Alignment (DMA) — ATR-Normalized
Formula : (EMA21 - EMA55) / ATR14
This isn't just "price above EMA" — it's a regime-aware momentum gauge. The same $100 price movement reads completely differently in high-volatility crypto versus low-volatility forex. By normalizing with ATR, DMA adapts its interpretation to current market conditions.
Purpose : Quantifies the directional "force" behind current price action. Positive = bullish push, negative = bearish push. Magnitude = strength.
Interpretation :
DMA > 0.7: Strong bullish momentum — bearish divergences risky
DMA 0.3 to 0.7: Moderate bullish bias
DMA -0.3 to 0.3: Balanced/choppy conditions
DMA -0.7 to -0.3: Moderate bearish bias
DMA < -0.7: Strong bearish momentum — bullish divergences risky
3. Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling — 0 to 1 Probability
Single-metric exhaustion detection (like "RSI > 80") misses complex market states. BZ-CAE aggregates five independent exhaustion signals:
Volume Spikes : Current volume versus 50-bar average
2.5x average: 0.25 weight
2.0x average: 0.15 weight
1.5x average: 0.10 weight
Divergence Present : The fact that a divergence exists contributes 0.30 weight — structural momentum disagreement is itself an exhaustion signal.
RSI Extremes : Captures oscillator climax zones
RSI > 80 or < 20: 0.25 weight
RSI > 75 or < 25: 0.15 weight
Pin Bar Detection : Identifies rejection candles (2:1 wick-to-body ratio, indicating failed breakout attempts): 0.15 weight
Extended Runs : Consecutive bars above/below EMA20 without pullback
30+ bars: 0.15 weight (market hasn't paused to consolidate)
Total exhaustion score is the sum of all applicable weights, capped at 1.0.
Purpose : Detects when strong trends become vulnerable to reversal. High exhaustion can override trend filters, allowing counter-trend trades at genuine turning points that basic indicators would miss.
Interpretation :
Exhaustion > 0.75: High probability of climax — yellow background shading alerts you visually
Exhaustion 0.50-0.75: Moderate overextension — watch for confirmation
Exhaustion < 0.50: Fresh move — trend can continue, counter-trend trades higher risk
4. Adversarial Validation — Game Theory Applied to Trading
This is BZ-CAE's signature innovation. Before approving any signal, the engine quantifies BOTH sides of the trade simultaneously:
For Bullish Divergences , it calculates:
Bull Case Score (0-1+) :
Distance below EMA20 (pullback quality): up to 0.25
Bullish EMA alignment (close > EMA20 > EMA50): 0.25
Oversold RSI (< 40): 0.25
Volume confirmation (> 1.2x average): 0.25
Bear Case Score (0-1+) :
Price below EMA50 (structural weakness): 0.30
Very oversold RSI (< 30, indicating knife-catching): 0.20
Differential = Bull Case - Bear Case
If differential < -0.10 (default threshold), the bear case is dominating — signal is BLOCKED or ANNOTATED.
For Bearish Divergences , the logic inverts (Bear Case vs Bull Case).
Purpose : Prevents trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction. This is institutional-grade risk management — don't just evaluate your trade, evaluate the counter-trade simultaneously.
Why This Matters : You might see a bullish divergence at a local low, but if price is deeply below major support EMAs with strong bearish momentum, you're catching a falling knife. The adversarial check catches this and blocks the signal.
5. Confidence Scoring — 0 to 1 Quality Assessment
Every signal that passes initial filters receives a comprehensive quality score:
Formula :
0.30 × normalize(TCS) // Trend context
+ 0.25 × normalize(|DMA|) // Momentum magnitude
+ 0.20 × pullback_quality // Entry distance from EMA20
+ 0.15 × state_quality // ADX + alignment + structure
+ 0.10 × divergence_strength // Slope separation magnitude
+ adversarial_bonus (0-0.30) // Your side's advantage
Purpose : Ranks setup quality for filtering and position sizing decisions. You can set a minimum confidence threshold (default 0.35) to ensure only quality setups reach your chart.
Interpretation :
Confidence > 0.70: Premium setup — consider increased position size
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Good quality — standard size
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Acceptable — reduced size or skip if conservative
Confidence < 0.35: Marginal — blocked in Filtering mode, annotated in Advisory mode
CAE Operating Modes: Learning vs Enforcement
Off : Disables all CAE logic. Raw divergence pipeline only. Use for baseline comparison.
Advisory : Shows ALL signals regardless of CAE evaluation, but annotates signals that WOULD be blocked with specific warnings (e.g., "Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" or "Adversarial bearish"). This is your learning mode — see CAE's decision logic in action without missing educational opportunities.
Filtering : Actively blocks low-quality signals. Only setups that pass all enabled gates (Trend Filter, Adversarial Validation, Confidence Gating) reach your chart. This is your live trading mode — trust the system to enforce discipline.
CAE Filter Gates: Three-Layer Protection
When CAE is enabled, signals must pass through three independent gates (each can be toggled on/off):
Gate 1: Strong Trend Filter
If TCS ≥ tcs_threshold (default 0.80)
And signal is counter-trend (bullish in downtrend or bearish in uptrend)
And exhaustion < exhaustion_required (default 0.50)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Don't fade strong trends unless the move is clearly overextended
Gate 2: Adversarial Validation
Calculate both bull case and bear case scores
If opposing case dominates by more than adv_threshold (default 0.10)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Avoid trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction
Gate 3: Confidence Gating
Calculate composite confidence score (0-1)
If confidence < min_confidence (default 0.35)
Then: In Filtering mode, BLOCK signal; in Advisory mode, ANNOTATE with warning
Logic: Only take setups with minimum quality threshold
All three gates work together. A signal must pass ALL enabled gates to fire.
Visual Intelligence System
Bifurcation Zones (Supply/Demand Blocks)
When a divergence signal fires, BZ-CAE draws a semi-transparent box extending 15 bars forward from the signal pivot:
Demand Zones (Bullish) : Theme-colored box (cyan in Cyberpunk, blue in Professional, etc.) labeled "Demand" — marks where smart money likely placed buy orders as price diverged at the low.
Supply Zones (Bearish) : Theme-colored box (magenta in Cyberpunk, orange in Professional) labeled "Supply" — marks where smart money likely placed sell orders as price diverged at the high.
Theory : Divergences represent institutional disagreement with the crowd. The crowd pushed price to an extreme (new high or low), but momentum (oscillator) is waning, indicating smart money is taking the opposite side. These zones mark order placement areas that become future support/resistance.
Use Cases :
Exit targets: Take profit when price returns to opposite-side zone
Re-entry levels: If price returns to your entry zone, consider adding
Stop placement: Place stops just beyond your zone (below demand, above supply)
Auto-Cleanup : System keeps the last 20 zones to prevent chart clutter.
Adversarial Bar Coloring — Real-Time Market Debate Heatmap
Each bar is colored based on the Bull Case vs Bear Case differential:
Strong Bull Advantage (diff > 0.3): Full theme bull color (e.g., cyan)
Moderate Bull Advantage (diff > 0.1): 50% transparency bull
Neutral (diff -0.1 to 0.1): Gray/neutral theme
Moderate Bear Advantage (diff < -0.1): 50% transparency bear
Strong Bear Advantage (diff < -0.3): Full theme bear color (e.g., magenta)
This creates a real-time visual heatmap showing which side is "winning" the market debate. When bars flip from cyan to magenta (or vice versa), you're witnessing a shift in adversarial advantage — a leading indicator of potential momentum changes.
Exhaustion Shading
When exhaustion score exceeds 0.75, the chart background displays a semi-transparent yellow highlight. This immediate visual warning alerts you that the current move is at high risk of reversal, even if trend indicators remain strong.

All visual elements (signal markers, zones, bar colors, dashboard) adapt to your selected theme.
Divergence Engine — Core Detection System
What Are Divergences?
Divergences occur when price action and momentum indicators disagree, creating structural tension that often resolves in a change of direction:
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signal) :
Bearish Regular : Price makes higher high, oscillator makes lower high → Potential trend reversal down
Bullish Regular : Price makes lower low, oscillator makes higher low → Potential trend reversal up
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signal) :
Bearish Hidden : Price makes lower high, oscillator makes higher high → Downtrend continuation
Bullish Hidden : Price makes higher low, oscillator makes lower low → Uptrend continuation
Both types can be enabled/disabled independently in settings.
Pivot Detection Methods
BZ-CAE uses symmetric pivot detection with separate lookback and lookforward periods (default 5/5):
Pivot High : Bar where high > all highs within lookback range AND high > all highs within lookforward range
Pivot Low : Bar where low < all lows within lookback range AND low < all lows within lookforward range
This ensures structural validity — the pivot must be a clear local extreme, not just a minor wiggle.
Divergence Validation Requirements
For a divergence to be confirmed, it must satisfy:
Slope Disagreement : Price slope and oscillator slope must move in opposite directions (for regular divs) or same direction with inverted highs/lows (for hidden divs)
Minimum Slope Change : |osc_slope| > min_slope_change / 100 (default 1.0) — filters weak, marginal divergences
Maximum Lookback Range : Pivots must be within max_lookback bars (default 60) — prevents ancient, irrelevant divergences
ATR-Normalized Strength : Divergence strength = min(|price_slope| × |osc_slope| × 10, 1.0) — quantifies the magnitude of disagreement in volatility context
Regular divergences receive 1.0× weight; hidden divergences receive 0.8× weight (slightly less reliable historically).
Oscillator Options — Five Professional Indicators
RSI (Relative Strength Index) : Classic overbought/oversold momentum indicator. Best for: General purpose divergence detection across all instruments.
Stochastic : Range-bound %K momentum comparing close to high-low range. Best for: Mean reversion strategies and range-bound markets.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) : Measures deviation from statistical mean, auto-normalized to 0-100 scale. Best for: Cyclical instruments and commodities.
MFI (Money Flow Index) : Volume-weighted RSI incorporating money flow. Best for: Volume-driven markets like stocks and crypto.
Williams %R : Inverse stochastic looking back over period, auto-adjusted to 0-100. Best for: Reversal detection at extremes.
Each oscillator has adjustable length (2-200, default 14) and smoothing (1-20, default 1). You also set overbought (50-100, default 70) and oversold (0-50, default 30) thresholds.
Signal Timing Modes — Understanding Repainting
BZ-CAE offers two timing policies with complete transparency about repainting behavior:
Realtime (1-bar, peak-anchored)
How It Works :
Detects peaks 1 bar ago using pattern: high > high AND high > high
Signal prints on the NEXT bar after peak detection (bar_index)
Visual marker anchors to the actual PEAK bar (bar_index - 1, offset -1)
Signal locks in when bar CONFIRMS (closes)
Repainting Behavior :
On the FORMING bar (before close), the peak condition may change as new prices arrive
Once bar CLOSES (barstate.isconfirmed), signal is locked permanently
This is preview/early warning behavior by design
Best For :
Active monitoring and immediate alerts
Learning the system (seeing signals develop in real-time)
Responsive entry if you're watching the chart live
Confirmed (lookforward)
How It Works :
Uses Pine Script's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions
Requires full pivot validation period (lookback + lookforward bars)
Signal prints pivot_lookforward bars after the actual peak (default 5-bar delay)
Visual marker anchors to the actual peak bar (offset -pivot_lookforward)
No Repainting Behavior
Best For :
Backtesting and historical analysis
Conservative entries requiring full confirmation
Automated trading systems
Swing trading with larger timeframes
Tradeoff :
Delayed entry by pivot_lookforward bars (typically 5 bars)
On a 5-minute chart, this is a 25-minute delay
On a 4-hour chart, this is a 20-hour delay
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting to verify system performance honestly. Use Realtime for live monitoring only if you're actively watching the chart and understand pre-confirmation repainting behavior.
Signal Spacing System — Anti-Spam Architecture
Even after CAE filtering, raw divergences can cluster. The spacing system enforces separation:
Three Independent Filters
1. Min Bars Between ANY Signals (default 12):
Prevents rapid-fire clustering across both directions
If last signal (bull or bear) was within N bars, block new signal
Ensures breathing room between all setups
2. Min Bars Between SAME-SIDE Signals (default 24, optional enforcement):
Prevents bull-bull or bear-bear spam
Separate tracking for bullish and bearish signal timelines
Toggle enforcement on/off
3. Min ATR Distance From Last Signal (default 0, optional):
Requires price to move N × ATR from last signal location
Ensures meaningful price movement between setups
0 = disabled, 0.5-2.0 = typical range for enabled
All three filters work independently. A signal must pass ALL enabled filters to proceed.
Practical Guidance :
Scalping (1-5m) : Any 6-10, Same-side 12-20, ATR 0-0.5
Day Trading (15m-1H) : Any 12, Same-side 24, ATR 0-1.0
Swing Trading (4H-D) : Any 20-30, Same-side 40-60, ATR 1.0-2.0
Dashboard — Real-Time Control Center
The dashboard (toggleable, four corner positions, three sizes) provides comprehensive system intelligence:
Oscillator Section
Current oscillator type and value
State: OVERBOUGHT / OVERSOLD / NEUTRAL (color-coded)
Length parameter
Cognitive Engine Section
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) :
Current value with emoji state indicator
🔥 = Strong trend (>0.75)
📊 = Moderate trend (0.50-0.75)
〰️ = Weak/choppy (<0.50)
Color: Red if above threshold (trend filter active), yellow if moderate, green if weak
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) :
Current value with emoji direction indicator
🐂 = Bullish momentum (>0.5)
⚖️ = Balanced (-0.5 to 0.5)
🐻 = Bearish momentum (<-0.5)
Color: Green if bullish, red if bearish
Exhaustion :
Current value with emoji warning indicator
⚠️ = High exhaustion (>0.75)
🟡 = Moderate (0.50-0.75)
✓ = Low (<0.50)
Color: Red if high, yellow if moderate, green if low
Pullback :
Quality of current distance from EMA20
Values >0.6 are ideal entry zones (not too close, not too far)
Bull Case / Bear Case (if Adversarial enabled):
Current scores for both sides of the market debate
Differential with emoji indicator:
📈 = Bull advantage (>0.2)
➡️ = Balanced (-0.2 to 0.2)
📉 = Bear advantage (<-0.2)
Last Signal Metrics Section (New Feature)
When a signal fires, this section captures and displays:
Signal type (BULL or BEAR)
Bars elapsed since signal
Confidence % at time of signal
TCS value at signal time
DMA value at signal time
Purpose : Provides a historical reference for learning. You can see what the market state looked like when the last signal fired, helping you correlate outcomes with conditions.
Statistics Section
Total Signals : Lifetime count across session
Blocked Signals : Count and percentage (filter effectiveness metric)
Bull Signals : Total bullish divergences
Bear Signals : Total bearish divergences
Purpose : System health monitoring. If blocked % is very high (>60%), filters may be too strict. If very low (<10%), filters may be too loose.
Advisory Annotations
When CAE Mode = Advisory, this section displays warnings for signals that would be blocked in Filtering mode:
Examples:
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars"
"Bear: strong uptrend (TCS=0.87)"
"Adversarial bearish"
"Low confidence 32%"
Multiple warnings can stack, separated by " | ". This teaches you CAE's decision logic transparently.
How to Use BZ-CAE — Complete Workflow
Phase 1: Initial Setup (First Session)
Apply BZ-CAE to your chart
Select your preferred Visual Theme (Cyberpunk recommended for visibility)
Set Signal Timing to "Confirmed (lookforward)" for learning
Choose your Oscillator Type (RSI recommended for general use, length 14)
Set Overbought/Oversold to 70/30 (standard)
Enable both Regular Divergence and Hidden Divergence
Set Pivot Lookback/Lookforward to 5/5 (balanced structure)
Enable CAE Intelligence
Set CAE Mode to "Advisory" (learning mode)
Enable all three CAE filters: Strong Trend Filter , Adversarial Validation , Confidence Gating
Enable Show Dashboard , position Top Right, size Normal
Enable Draw Bifurcation Zones and Adversarial Bar Coloring
Phase 2: Learning Period (Weeks 1-2)
Goal : Understand how CAE evaluates market state and filters signals.
Activities :
Watch the dashboard during signals :
Note TCS values when counter-trend signals fail — this teaches you the trend strength threshold for your instrument
Observe exhaustion patterns at actual turning points — learn when overextension truly matters
Study adversarial differential at signal times — see when opposing cases dominate
Review blocked signals (orange X-crosses):
In Advisory mode, you see everything — signals that would pass AND signals that would be blocked
Check the advisory annotations to understand why CAE would block
Track outcomes: Were the blocks correct? Did those signals fail?
Use Last Signal Metrics :
After each signal, check the dashboard capture of confidence, TCS, and DMA
Journal these values alongside trade outcomes
Identify patterns: Do confidence >0.70 signals work better? Does your instrument respect TCS >0.85?
Understand your instrument's "personality" :
Trending instruments (indices, major forex) may need TCS threshold 0.85-0.90
Choppy instruments (low-cap stocks, exotic pairs) may work best with TCS 0.70-0.75
High-volatility instruments (crypto) may need wider spacing
Low-volatility instruments may need tighter spacing
Phase 3: Calibration (Weeks 3-4)
Goal : Optimize settings for your specific instrument, timeframe, and style.
Calibration Checklist :
Min Confidence Threshold :
Review confidence distribution in your signal journal
Identify the confidence level below which signals consistently fail
Set min_confidence slightly above that level
Day trading : 0.35-0.45
Swing trading : 0.40-0.55
Scalping : 0.30-0.40
TCS Threshold :
Find the TCS level where counter-trend signals consistently get stopped out
Set tcs_threshold at or slightly below that level
Trending instruments : 0.85-0.90
Mixed instruments : 0.80-0.85
Choppy instruments : 0.75-0.80
Exhaustion Override Level :
Identify exhaustion readings that marked genuine reversals
Set exhaustion_required just below the average
Typical range : 0.45-0.55
Adversarial Threshold :
Default 0.10 works for most instruments
If you find CAE is too conservative (blocking good trades), raise to 0.15-0.20
If signals are still getting caught in opposing momentum, lower to 0.07-0.09
Spacing Parameters :
Count bars between quality signals in your journal
Set min bars ANY to ~60% of that average
Set min bars SAME-SIDE to ~120% of that average
Scalping : Any 6-10, Same 12-20
Day trading : Any 12, Same 24
Swing : Any 20-30, Same 40-60
Oscillator Selection :
Try different oscillators for 1-2 weeks each
Track win rate and average winner/loser by oscillator type
RSI : Best for general use, clear OB/OS
Stochastic : Best for range-bound, mean reversion
MFI : Best for volume-driven markets
CCI : Best for cyclical instruments
Williams %R : Best for reversal detection
Phase 4: Live Deployment
Goal : Disciplined execution with proven, calibrated system.
Settings Changes :
Switch CAE Mode from Advisory to Filtering
System now actively blocks low-quality signals
Only setups passing all gates reach your chart
Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed for conservative entries
OR switch to Realtime if you're actively monitoring and want faster entries (accept pre-confirmation repaint risk)
Use your calibrated thresholds from Phase 3
Enable high-confidence alerts: "⭐ High Confidence Bullish/Bearish" (>0.70)
Trading Discipline Rules :
Respect Blocked Signals :
If CAE blocks a trade you wanted to take, TRUST THE SYSTEM
Don't manually override — if you consistently disagree, return to Phase 2/3 calibration
The block exists because market state failed intelligence checks
Confidence-Based Position Sizing :
Confidence >0.70: Standard or increased size (e.g., 1.5-2.0% risk)
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Standard size (e.g., 1.0% risk)
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Reduced size (e.g., 0.5% risk) or skip if conservative
TCS-Based Management :
High TCS + counter-trend signal: Use tight stops, quick exits (you're fading momentum)
Low TCS + reversal signal: Use wider stops, trail aggressively (genuine reversal potential)
Exhaustion Awareness :
Exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading): Market is overextended, reversal risk is elevated — consider early exit or tighter trailing stops even on winning trades
Exhaustion <0.30: Continuation bias — hold for larger move, wide trailing stops
Adversarial Context :
Strong differential against you (e.g., bullish signal with bear diff <-0.2): Use very tight stops, consider skipping
Strong differential with you (e.g., bullish signal with bull diff >0.2): Trail aggressively, this is your tailwind
Practical Settings by Timeframe & Style
Scalping (1-5 Minute Charts)
Objective : High frequency, tight stops, quick reversals in fast-moving markets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or Stochastic (fast response to quick moves)

Signal Size: Small or Normal (clear markers on zoomed-out view)
Show Zones: ON (important HTF levels)
Bar Coloring: ON (long-term trend awareness)
Dashboard: Normal or Large (comprehensive analysis)
Key Consideration : Swing signals are rare but powerful. Expect 2-5 signals per month per instrument. Win rate should be 60-70%+ due to stringent filtering. Position size can be larger given confidence.
Dashboard Interpretation Reference
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) States
0.00-0.50: Weak/Choppy
Emoji: 〰️
Color: Green/cyan
Meaning: No established trend. Range-bound or consolidating. Both reversal and continuation signals viable.
Action: Reversals (regular divs) are safer. Use wider profit targets (market has room to move). Consider mean reversion strategies.
0.50-0.75: Moderate Trend
Emoji: 📊
Color: Yellow/neutral
Meaning: Developing trend but not locked in. Context matters significantly.
Action: Check DMA and exhaustion. If DMA confirms trend and exhaustion is low, favor continuation (hidden divs). If exhaustion is high, reversals are viable.
0.75-0.85: Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥
Color: Orange/warning
Meaning: Well-established trend with persistence. Counter-trend is high risk.
Action: Require exhaustion >0.50 for counter-trend entries. Favor continuation signals. Use tight stops on counter-trend attempts.
0.85-1.00: Very Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥🔥
Color: Red/danger (if counter-trading)
Meaning: Locked-in institutional trend. Extremely high risk to fade.
Action: Avoid counter-trend unless exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading). Focus exclusively on continuation opportunities. Momentum is king here.
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) Zones
-2.0 to -1.0: Strong Bearish Momentum
Emoji: 🐻🐻
Color: Dark red
Meaning: Powerful downside force. Sellers are in control.
Action: Bullish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bearish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on longs.
-0.5 to 0.5: Neutral/Balanced
Emoji: ⚖️
Color: Gray/neutral
Meaning: No strong directional bias. Choppy or consolidating.
Action: Both directions have similar probability. Focus on confidence score and adversarial differential for edge.
1.0 to 2.0: Strong Bullish Momentum
Emoji: 🐂🐂
Color: Bright green/cyan
Meaning: Powerful upside force. Buyers are in control.
Action: Bearish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bullish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on shorts.
Exhaustion States
0.00-0.50: Fresh Move
Emoji: ✓
Color: Green
Meaning: Trend is healthy, not overextended. Room to run.
Action: Counter-trend trades are premature. Favor continuation. Hold winners for larger moves. Avoid early exits.
0.50-0.75: Mature Move
Emoji: 🟡
Color: Yellow
Meaning: Move is aging. Watch for signs of climax.
Action: Tighten trailing stops on winning trades. Be ready for reversals. Don't add to positions aggressively.
0.75-0.85: High Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️
Color: Orange
Background: Yellow shading appears
Meaning: Move is overextended. Reversal risk elevated significantly.
Action: Counter-trend reversals are higher probability. Consider early exits on with-trend positions. Size up on reversal divergences (if CAE allows).
0.85-1.00: Critical Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️⚠️
Color: Red
Background: Yellow shading intensifies
Meaning: Climax conditions. Reversal imminent or underway.
Action: Aggressive reversal trades justified. Exit all with-trend positions. This is where major turns occur.
Confidence Score Tiers
0.00-0.30: Low Quality
Color: Red
Status: Blocked in Filtering mode
Action: Skip entirely. Setup lacks fundamental quality across multiple factors.
0.30-0.50: Moderate Quality
Color: Yellow/orange
Status: Marginal — passes in Filtering only if >min_confidence
Action: Reduced position size (0.5-0.75% risk). Tight stops. Conservative profit targets. Skip if you're selective.
0.50-0.70: High Quality
Color: Green/cyan
Status: Good setup across most quality factors
Action: Standard position size (1.0-1.5% risk). Normal stops and targets. This is your bread-and-butter trade.
0.70-1.00: Premium Quality
Color: Bright green/gold
Status: Exceptional setup — all factors aligned
Visual: Double confidence ring appears
Action: Consider increased position size (1.5-2.0% risk, maximum). Wider stops. Larger targets. High probability of success. These are rare — capitalize when they appear.
Adversarial Differential Interpretation
Bull Differential > 0.3 :
Visual: Strong cyan/green bar colors
Meaning: Bull case strongly dominates. Buyers have clear advantage.
Action: Bullish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bearish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bullish.
Bull Differential 0.1 to 0.3 :
Visual: Moderate cyan/green transparency
Meaning: Moderate bull advantage. Buyers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward longs.
Differential -0.1 to 0.1 :
Visual: Gray/neutral bars
Meaning: Balanced debate. No clear advantage either side.
Action: Rely on other factors (confidence, TCS, exhaustion) for direction. Adversarial is neutral.
Bear Differential -0.3 to -0.1 :
Visual: Moderate red/magenta transparency
Meaning: Moderate bear advantage. Sellers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward shorts.
Bear Differential < -0.3 :
Visual: Strong red/magenta bar colors
Meaning: Bear case strongly dominates. Sellers have clear advantage.
Action: Bearish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bullish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bearish.
Last Signal Metrics — Post-Trade Analysis
After a signal fires, dashboard captures:
Type : BULL or BEAR
Bars Ago : How long since signal (updates every bar)
Confidence : What was the quality score at signal time
TCS : What was trend conviction at signal time
DMA : What was momentum alignment at signal time
Use Case : Post-trade journaling and learning.
Example: "BULL signal 12 bars ago. Confidence: 68%, TCS: 0.42, DMA: -0.85"
Analysis : This was a bullish reversal (regular div) with good confidence, weak trend (TCS), but strong bearish momentum (DMA). The bet was that momentum would reverse — a counter-momentum play requiring exhaustion confirmation. Check if exhaustion was high at that time to justify the entry.
Track patterns:
Do your best trades have confidence >0.65?
Do low-TCS signals (<0.50) work better for you?
Are you more successful with-momentum (DMA aligned with signal) or counter-momentum?
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Symptoms : Chart loads, dashboard shows metrics, but no divergence signals fire.
Diagnosis Checklist :
Check dashboard oscillator value : Is it crossing OB/OS levels (70/30)? If oscillator stays in 40-60 range constantly, it can't reach extremes needed for divergence detection.
Are pivots forming? : Look for local swing highs/lows on your chart. If price is in tight consolidation, pivots may not meet lookback/lookforward requirements.
Is spacing too tight? : Check "Last Signal" metrics — how many bars since last signal? If <12 and your min_bars_ANY is 12, spacing filter is blocking.
Is CAE blocking everything? : Check dashboard Statistics section — what's the blocked signal count? High blocks indicate overly strict filters.
Solutions :
Loosen OB/OS Temporarily :
Try 65/35 to verify divergence detection works
If signals appear, the issue was threshold strictness
Gradually tighten back to 67/33, then 70/30 as appropriate
Lower Min Confidence :
Try 0.25-0.30 (diagnostic level)
If signals appear, filter was too strict
Raise gradually to find sweet spot (0.35-0.45 typical)
Disable Strong Trend Filter Temporarily :
Turn off in CAE settings
If signals appear, TCS threshold was blocking everything
Re-enable and lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75
Reduce Min Slope Change :
Try 0.7-0.8 (from default 1.0)
Allows weaker divergences through
Helpful on low-volatility instruments
Widen Spacing :
Set min_bars_ANY to 6-8
Set min_bars_SAME_SIDE to 12-16
Reduces time between allowed signals
Check Timing Mode :
If using Confirmed, remember there's a pivot_lookforward delay (5+ bars)
Switch to Realtime temporarily to verify system is working
Realtime has no delay but repaints
Verify Oscillator Settings :
Length 14 is standard but might not fit all instruments
Try length 9-11 for faster response
Try length 18-21 for slower, smoother response
Problem: Too Many Signals (Signal Spam)
Symptoms : Dashboard shows 50+ signals in Statistics, confidence scores mostly <0.40, signals clustering close together.
Solutions :
Raise Min Confidence :
Try 0.40-0.50 (quality filter)
Blocks bottom-tier setups
Targets top 50-60% of divergences only
Tighten OB/OS :
Use 70/30 or 75/25
Requires more extreme oscillator readings
Reduces false divergences in mid-range
Increase Min Slope Change :
Try 1.2-1.5 (from default 1.0)
Requires stronger, more obvious divergences
Filters marginal slope disagreements
Raise TCS Threshold :
Try 0.85-0.90 (from default 0.80)
Stricter trend filter blocks more counter-trend attempts
Favors only strongest trend alignment
Enable ALL CAE Gates :
Turn on Trend Filter + Adversarial + Confidence
Triple-layer protection
Blocks aggressively — expect 20-40% reduction in signals
Widen Spacing :
min_bars_ANY: 15-20 (from 12)
min_bars_SAME_SIDE: 30-40 (from 24)
Creates substantial breathing room
Switch to Confirmed Timing :
Removes realtime preview noise
Ensures full pivot validation
5-bar delay filters many false starts
Problem: Signals in Strong Trends Get Stopped Out
Symptoms : You take a bullish divergence in a downtrend (or bearish in uptrend), and it immediately fails. Dashboard showed high TCS at the time.
Analysis : This is INTENDED behavior — CAE is protecting you from low-probability counter-trend trades.
Understanding :
Check Last Signal Metrics in dashboard — what was TCS when signal fired?
If TCS was >0.85 and signal was counter-trend, CAE correctly identified it as high risk
Strong trends rarely reverse cleanly without major exhaustion
Your losses here are the system working as designed (blocking bad odds)
If You Want to Override (Not Recommended) :
Lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75 (allows more counter-trend)
Lower exhaustion_required to 0.40 (easier override)
Disable Strong Trend Filter entirely (very risky)
Better Approach :
TRUST THE FILTER — it's preventing costly mistakes
Wait for exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading) before counter-trending strong TCS
Focus on continuation signals (hidden divs) in high-TCS environments
Use Advisory mode to see what CAE is blocking and learn from outcomes
Problem: Adversarial Blocking Seems Wrong
Symptoms : You see a divergence that "looks good" visually, but CAE blocks with "Adversarial bearish/bullish" warning.
Diagnosis :
Check dashboard Bull Case and Bear Case scores at that moment
Look at Differential value
Check adversarial bar colors — was there strong coloring against your intended direction?
Understanding :
Adversarial catches "obvious" opposing momentum that's easy to miss
Example: Bullish divergence at a local low, BUT price is deeply below EMA50, bearish momentum is strong, and RSI shows knife-catching conditions
Bull Case might be 0.20 while Bear Case is 0.55
Differential = -0.35, far beyond threshold
Block is CORRECT — you'd be fighting overwhelming opposing flow
If You Disagree Consistently
Review blocked signals on chart — scroll back and check outcomes
Did those blocked signals actually work, or did they fail as adversarial predicted?
Raise adv_threshold to 0.15-0.20 (more permissive, allows closer battles)
Disable Adversarial Validation temporarily (diagnostic) to isolate its effect
Use Advisory mode to learn adversarial patterns over 50-100 signals
Remember : Adversarial is conservative BY DESIGN. It prevents "obvious" bad trades where you're fighting strong strength the other way.
Problem: Dashboard Not Showing or Incomplete
Solutions :
Toggle "Show Dashboard" to ON in settings
Try different dashboard sizes (Small/Normal/Large)
Try different positions (Top Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right) — might be off-screen
Some sections require CAE Enable = ON (Cognitive Engine section won't appear if CAE is disabled)
Statistics section requires at least 1 lifetime signal to populate
Check that visual theme is set (dashboard colors adapt to theme)
Problem: Performance Lag, Chart Freezing
Symptoms : Chart loading is slow, indicator calculations cause delays, pinch-to-zoom lags.
Diagnosis : Visual features are computationally expensive, especially adversarial bar coloring (recalculates every bar).
Solutions (In Order of Impact) :
Disable Adversarial Bar Coloring (MOST EXPENSIVE):
Turn OFF "Adversarial Bar Coloring" in settings
This is the single biggest performance drain
Immediate improvement
Reduce Vertical Lines :
Lower "Keep last N vertical lines" to 20-30
Or set to 0 to disable entirely
Moderate improvement
Disable Bifurcation Zones :
Turn OFF "Draw Bifurcation Zones"
Reduces box drawing calculations
Moderate improvement
Set Dashboard Size to Small :
Smaller dashboard = fewer cells = less rendering
Minor improvement
Use Shorter Max Lookback :
Reduce max_lookback to 40-50 (from 60+)
Fewer bars to scan for divergences
Minor improvement
Disable Exhaustion Shading :
Turn OFF "Show Market State"
Removes background coloring calculations
Minor improvement
Extreme Performance Mode :
Disable ALL visual enhancements
Keep only triangle markers
Dashboard Small or OFF
Use Minimal theme if available
Problem: Realtime Signals Repainting
Symptoms : You see a signal appear, but on next bar it disappears or moves.
Explanation :
Realtime mode detects peaks 1 bar ago: high > high AND high > high
On the FORMING bar (before close), this condition can change as new prices arrive
Example: At 10:05, high (10:04 bar) was 100, current high is 99 → peak detected
At 10:05:30, new high of 101 arrives → peak condition breaks → signal disappears
At 10:06 (bar close), final high is 101 → no peak at 10:04 anymore → signal gone permanently
This is expected behavior for realtime responsiveness. You get preview/early warning, but it's not locked until bar confirms.
Solutions :
Use Confirmed Timing :
Switch to "Confirmed (lookforward)" mode
ZERO repainting — pivot must be fully validated
5-bar delay (pivot_lookforward)
What you see in history is exactly what would have appeared live
Accept Realtime Repaint as Tradeoff :
Keep Realtime mode for speed and alerts
Understand that pre-confirmation signals may vanish
Only trade signals that CONFIRM at bar close (check barstate.isconfirmed)
Use for live monitoring, NOT for backtesting
Trade Only After Confirmation :
In Realtime mode, wait 1 full bar after signal appears before entering
If signal survives that bar close, it's locked
This adds 1-bar delay but removes repaint risk
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting and conservative trading. Use Realtime only for active monitoring with full understanding of preview behavior.
Risk Management Integration
BZ-CAE is a signal generation system, not a complete trading strategy. You must integrate proper risk management:
Position Sizing by Confidence
Confidence 0.70-1.00 (Premium) :
Risk: 1.5-2.0% of account (MAXIMUM)
Reasoning: High-quality setup across all factors
Still cap at 2% — even premium setups can fail
Confidence 0.50-0.70 (High Quality) :
Risk: 1.0-1.5% of account
Reasoning: Standard good setup
Your bread-and-butter risk level
Confidence 0.35-0.50 (Moderate Quality) :
Risk: 0.5-1.0% of account
Reasoning: Marginal setup, passes minimum threshold
Reduce size or skip if you're selective
Confidence <0.35 (Low Quality) :
Risk: 0% (blocked in Filtering mode)
Reasoning: Insufficient quality factors
System protects you by not showing these
Stop Placement Strategies
For Reversal Signals (Regular Divergences) :
Place stop beyond the divergence pivot plus buffer
Bullish : Stop below the divergence low - 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Bearish : Stop above the divergence high + 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Reasoning: If price breaks the pivot, divergence structure is invalidated
For Continuation Signals (Hidden Divergences) :
Place stop beyond recent swing in opposite direction
Bullish continuation : Stop below recent swing low (not the divergence pivot itself)
Bearish continuation : Stop above recent swing high
Reasoning: You're trading with trend, allow more breathing room
ATR-Based Stops :
1.5-2.0 × ATR is standard
Scale by timeframe:
Scalping (1-5m): 1.0-1.5 × ATR (tight)
Day trading (15m-1H): 1.5-2.0 × ATR (balanced)
Swing (4H-D): 2.0-3.0 × ATR (wide)
Never Use Fixed Dollar/Pip Stops :
Markets have different volatility
50-pip stop on EUR/USD ≠ 50-pip stop on GBP/JPY
Always normalize by ATR or pivot structure
Profit Targets and Scaling
Primary Target :
2-3 × ATR from entry (minimum 2:1 reward-risk)
Example : Entry at 100, ATR = 2, stop at 97 (1.5 × ATR) → target at 106 (3 × ATR) = 2:1 R:R
Scaling Out Strategy :
Take 50% off at 1.5 × ATR (secure partial profit)
Move stop to breakeven
Trail remaining 50% with 1.0 × ATR trailing stop
Let winners run if trend persists
Targets by Confidence :
High Confidence (>0.70) : Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR), trail wider (1.5 × ATR)
Standard Confidence (0.50-0.70) : Normal targets (2-3 × ATR), standard trail (1.0 × ATR)
Low Confidence (0.35-0.50) : Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR), tight trail (0.75 × ATR)
Use Bifurcation Zones :
If opposite-side zone is visible on chart (from previous signal), use it as target
Example : Bullish signal at 100, prior supply zone at 110 → use 110 as target
Zones mark institutional resistance/support
Exhaustion-Based Exits :
If you're in a trade and exhaustion >0.75 develops (yellow shading), consider early exit
Market is overextended — reversal risk is high
Take profit even if target not reached
Trade Management by TCS
High TCS + Counter-Trend Trade (Risky) :
Use very tight stops (1.0-1.5 × ATR)
Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR)
Quick exit if trade doesn't work immediately
You're fading momentum — respect it
Low TCS + Reversal Trade (Safer) :
Use wider stops (2.0-2.5 × ATR)
Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR)
Trail with patience
Genuine reversal potential in weak trend
High TCS + Continuation Trade (Safest) :
Standard stops (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
Very aggressive targets (4-5 × ATR)
Trail wide (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
You're with institutional momentum — let it run
Educational Value — Learning Machine Intelligence
BZ-CAE is designed as a learning platform, not just a tool:
Advisory Mode as Teacher
Most indicators are binary: signal or no signal. You don't learn WHY certain setups are better.
BZ-CAE's Advisory mode shows you EVERY potential divergence, then annotates the ones that would be blocked in Filtering mode with specific reasons:
"Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" teaches you that TCS >0.85 makes counter-trend very risky
"Adversarial bearish" teaches you that the opposing case was dominating
"Low confidence 32%" teaches you that the setup lacked quality across multiple factors
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars" teaches you that signals need breathing room
After 50-100 signals in Advisory mode, you internalize the CAE's decision logic. You start seeing these factors yourself BEFORE the indicator does.
Dashboard Transparency
Most "intelligent" indicators are black boxes — you don't know how they make decisions.
BZ-CAE shows you ALL metrics in real-time:
TCS tells you trend strength
DMA tells you momentum alignment
Exhaustion tells you overextension
Adversarial shows both sides of the debate
Confidence shows composite quality
You learn to interpret market state holistically, a skill applicable to ANY trading system beyond this indicator.
Divergence Quality Education
Not all divergences are equal. BZ-CAE teaches you which conditions produce high-probability setups:
Quality divergence : Regular bullish div at a low, TCS <0.50 (weak trend), exhaustion >0.75 (overextended), positive adversarial differential, confidence >0.70
Low-quality divergence : Regular bearish div at a high, TCS >0.85 (strong uptrend), exhaustion <0.30 (not overextended), negative adversarial differential, confidence <0.40
After using the system, you can evaluate divergences manually with similar intelligence.
Risk Management Discipline
Confidence-based position sizing teaches you to adjust risk based on setup quality, not emotions:
Beginners often size all trades identically
Or worse, size UP on marginal setups to "make up" for losses
BZ-CAE forces systematic sizing: premium setups get larger size, marginal setups get smaller size
This creates a probabilistic approach where your edge compounds over time.
What This Indicator Is NOT
Complete transparency about limitations and positioning:
Not a Prediction System
BZ-CAE does not predict future prices. It identifies structural divergences (price-momentum disagreements) and assesses current market state (trend, exhaustion, adversarial conditions). It tells you WHEN conditions favor a potential reversal or continuation, not WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Markets are probabilistic. Even premium-confidence setups fail ~30-40% of the time. The system improves your probability distribution over many trades — it doesn't eliminate risk.
Not Fully Automated
This is a decision support tool, not a trading robot. You must:
Execute trades manually based on signals
Manage positions (stops, targets, trailing)
Apply discretionary judgment (news events, liquidity, context)
Integrate with your broader strategy and risk rules
The confidence scores guide position sizing, but YOU determine final risk allocation based on your account size, risk tolerance, and portfolio context.
Not Beginner-Friendly
BZ-CAE requires understanding of:
Divergence trading concepts (regular vs hidden, reversal vs continuation)
Market state interpretation (trend vs range, momentum, exhaustion)
Basic technical analysis (pivots, support/resistance, EMAs)
Risk management fundamentals (position sizing, stops, R:R)
This is designed for intermediate to advanced traders willing to invest time learning the system. If you want "buy the arrow" simplicity, this isn't the tool.
Not a Holy Grail
There is no perfect indicator. BZ-CAE filters noise and improves signal quality significantly, but:
Losing trades are inevitable (even at 70% win rate, 30% still fail)
Market conditions change rapidly (yesterday's strong trend becomes today's chop)
Black swan events occur (fundamentals override technicals)
Execution matters (slippage, fees, emotional discipline)
The system provides an EDGE, not a guarantee. Your job is to execute that edge consistently with proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool. All trading decisions are your responsibility. Past performance (backtested or live) does not guarantee future results. Only risk capital you can afford to lose. Consult a licensed financial advisor for investment advice specific to your situation.
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance Characteristics
Liquid Instruments :
Major forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY)
Large-cap stocks and index ETFs (SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT)
High-volume crypto (BTC, ETH)
Major commodities (Gold, Oil, Natural Gas)
Reasoning: Clean price structure, clear pivots, meaningful oscillator behavior
Trending with Consolidations :
Markets that trend for 20-40 bars, then consolidate 10-20 bars, repeat
Creates divergences at consolidation boundaries (reversals) and within trends (continuations)
Both regular and hidden divs find opportunities
5-Minute to Daily Timeframes :
Below 5m: too much noise, false pivots, CAE metrics unstable
Above daily: too few signals, edge diminishes (fundamentals dominate)
Sweet spot: 15m to 4H for most traders
Consistent Volume and Participation :
Regular trading sessions (not holidays or thin markets)
Predictable volatility patterns
Avoid instruments with sudden gaps or circuit breakers
Challenging Conditions
Extremely Low Liquidity :
Penny stocks, exotic forex pairs, low-volume crypto
Erratic pivots, unreliable oscillator readings
CAE metrics can't assess market state properly
Very Low Timeframes (1-Minute or Below) :
Dominated by market microstructure noise
Divergences are everywhere but meaningless
CAE filtering helps but still unreliable
Extended Sideways Consolidation :
100+ bars of tight range with no clear pivots
Oscillator hugs midpoint (45-55 range)
No divergences to detect
Fundamentally-Driven Gap Markets :
Earnings releases, economic data, geopolitical events
Price gaps over stops and targets
Technical structure breaks down
Recommendation: Disable trading around known events
Calculation Methodology — Technical Depth
For users who want to understand the math:
Oscillator Computation
Each oscillator type calculates differently, but all normalize to 0-100:
RSI : ta.rsi(close, length) — Standard Relative Strength Index
Stochastic : ta.stoch(high, low, close, length) — %K calculation
CCI : (ta.cci(hlc3, length) + 100) / 2 — Normalized from -100/+100 to 0-100
MFI : ta.mfi(hlc3, length) — Volume-weighted RSI equivalent
Williams %R : ta.wpr(length) + 100 — Inverted stochastic adjusted to 0-100
Smoothing: If smoothing > 1, apply ta.sma(oscillator, smoothing)
Divergence Detection Algorithm
Identify Pivots :
Price high pivot: ta.pivothigh(high, lookback, lookforward)
Price low pivot: ta.pivotlow(low, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator high pivot: ta.pivothigh(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator low pivot: ta.pivotlow(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Store Recent Pivots :
Maintain arrays of last 10 pivots with bar indices
When new pivot confirmed, unshift to array, pop oldest if >10
Scan for Slope Disagreements :
Loop through last 5 pivots
For each pair (current pivot, historical pivot):
Check if within max_lookback bars
Calculate slopes: (current - historical) / bars_between
Regular bearish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Regular bullish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Hidden bearish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, osc_slope > min_threshold
Hidden bullish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Important Disclaimers and Terms
Performance Disclosure
Past performance, whether backtested or live-traded, does not guarantee future results. Markets change. What works today may not work tomorrow. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading.
Risk of Loss
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with risk capital you can afford to lose entirely. The high degree of leverage often available in trading can work against you as well as for you. Leveraged trading may result in losses exceeding your initial deposit.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool for technical analysis. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument. All trading decisions are your sole responsibility. Consult a licensed financial advisor for advice specific to your circumstances.
Technical Indicator Limitations
BZ-CAE is a technical analysis tool based on price and volume data. It does not account for:
Fundamental analysis (earnings, economic data, financial health)
Market sentiment and positioning
Geopolitical events and news
Liquidity conditions and market microstructure changes
Regulatory changes or exchange rules
Integrate with broader analysis and strategy. Do not rely solely on technical indicators for trading decisions.
Repainting Acknowledgment
As disclosed throughout this documentation:
Realtime mode may repaint on forming bars before confirmation (by design for preview functionality)
Confirmed mode has zero repainting (fully validated pivots only)
Choose timing mode appropriate for your use case. Understand the tradeoffs.
Testing Recommendation
ALWAYS test on demo/paper accounts before committing real capital. Validate the indicator's behavior on your specific instruments and timeframes. Learn the system thoroughly in Advisory mode before using Filtering mode.

Final Word — Philosophy of BZ-CAE
BZ-CAE is not designed to replace your judgment — it's designed to enhance it.
The indicator identifies structural inflection points (bifurcations) where price and momentum disagree. The Cognitive Engine evaluates market state to determine if this disagreement is meaningful or noise. The Adversarial model debates both sides of the trade to catch obvious bad setups. The Confidence system ranks quality so you can choose your risk appetite.
But YOU still execute. YOU still manage risk. YOU still learn from outcomes.
This is intelligence amplification, not intelligence replacement.
Use Advisory mode to learn how expert traders evaluate market state. Use Filtering mode to enforce discipline when emotions run high. Use the dashboard to develop a systematic approach to reading markets. Use confidence scores to size positions probabilistically.
The system provides an edge. Your job is to execute that edge with discipline, patience, and proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Markets are probabilistic. No system wins every trade. But a systematic edge + disciplined execution + proper risk management compounds over time. That's the path to consistent profitability. BZ-CAE gives you the edge. The discipline and risk management are on you.
