offline_detection Library
Description:
Boolean and alert functions that check if the latest user-selected symbol 'sym' has started printing. Alerts trigger by bar close.
Usage:
Mainly for 24/7 crypto exchanges. If an exchange you have alerts on goes offline, the alerts will not trigger. The offline alert is an alert to alert you of that. It's best to create the alerts while on "CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL" because it has the least downtime. The exchange you want alerts on is controlled by the 'sym' parameter. The alerts need to be enabled yourself.
Limitations:
The alerts may be triggered by no volume in a bar, so it's best to set it on timeframes higher than 1 minute. Alerts are not enabled in libraries so the functions must be imported or copied into another script. alert.freq cannot be changed by input because it becomes a series string in a function. dynamic_requests must be true to export functions using `request.*()` calls.
Example:
import NeoButane/offline_detection/1
thing = "COINBASE:BTCUSD"
offline_detection.offlineAlertNoSpam(thing)
offline_detection.onlineAlert(thing)
warningsign()

Stochastic MFI (vegeta)Stochastic MFI
Simple Stochastic version of Money Flow indicator
MFI > RSI?
MFI considers volume. Hence, provides more robust signals (most of the times)
How to use the indicator:
More trigger signals valid, more robust the buy/ sell signal
Buy Trigger:
1. Green stoch line direction >45deg up and crosses red stoch line
2. 3 consecutive Heiken Ashi green candles
3. Price is trending w/ established trendline
Sell Trigger:
1. Green stoch line direction <-45deg down and crosses red stoch line
2. 3 consecutive Heiken Ashi red candles
Works better when used on different timeframes (3D, 1D, 6H)
The more valid triggers on different timeframes, the better the signal

Neural Fusion ProNeural Fusion Pro
Overview
Neural Fusion Pro is a multi-factor scoring system that combines numerous technical analysis methods into a single unified score. Rather than requiring traders to monitor multiple indicators separately, this system synthesizes trend strength, momentum oscillators, volume confirmation, price structure, and price action quality into one composite reading that adapts to current market conditions.
The Scoring System
At the heart of this indicator is a weighted scoring algorithm that produces a value between -1.0 and +1.0. Positive scores indicate bullish conditions across the measured factors, while negative scores suggest bearish conditions. The magnitude of the score reflects the strength of conviction across indicators.
The score is calculated from five distinct components, each capturing a different aspect of market behavior. Users can adjust the weight given to each component based on their trading style and market preferences.
Component 1: Trend Strength and Direction
This component uses the Average Directional Index to measure trend strength and the Directional Movement indicators to determine trend direction. When ADX exceeds the trending threshold, indicating a directional market, the component contributes a positive score if the positive directional indicator leads, or a negative score if the negative directional indicator leads. In ranging markets where ADX is low, this component contributes minimally to avoid false trend signals.
Component 2: Multi-Factor Momentum
Rather than relying on a single oscillator, this component synthesizes readings from RSI, MACD histogram, Stochastic, CCI, and Rate of Change. Each oscillator is normalized to a common scale and weighted according to its reliability characteristics. RSI readings are compared against dynamic thresholds that adjust based on trend state, making the indicator more forgiving in uptrends and more demanding in downtrends.
The component also includes divergence detection. When price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or when price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish divergence), the divergence score adjusts the momentum component accordingly.
Component 3: Volume Confirmation
Volume provides crucial confirmation of price movements. This component analyzes On-Balance Volume relative to its moving average and measures the slope of OBV to determine whether volume is supporting the price trend. Additionally, it monitors relative volume by comparing current volume to its recent average, adding confirmation when volume spikes accompany price movements.
Component 4: Price Structure and Volatility
This component evaluates where price sits within the dynamic bands and considers the current volatility regime. When price is near the lower band, the component contributes a bullish score, suggesting potential support. When price is near the upper band, it contributes a bearish score, suggesting potential resistance.
The volatility regime assessment uses ATR percentile ranking. Low volatility periods often precede significant moves, while extremely high volatility may indicate unsustainable conditions.
Component 5: Price Action Quality
This component examines the character of recent candles by tracking the ratio of bullish to bearish candles over a lookback period. Consistent bullish price action contributes a positive score, while consistent bearish action contributes negatively. This helps filter signals by confirming that price behavior aligns with other factors.
Dynamic Bands
The indicator plots adaptive bands around a central basis line. The basis can be configured as either a simple or exponential moving average. Band width is determined by ATR multiplied by a dynamic factor that incorporates both ADX (expanding bands in trending markets) and the Chaikin Oscillator (expanding bands during strong accumulation or distribution).
These bands serve multiple purposes: they provide visual context for price position, they define signal trigger zones, and they help identify overextended conditions.
Trend State Detection
The indicator classifies market conditions into three states that affect signal generation and threshold levels.
Strong Uptrend is identified when ADX is rising, ADX exceeds the strong trend threshold, and the positive directional indicator exceeds the negative. This state triggers the most aggressive buy settings, allowing entries on shallow pullbacks.
Downtrend is identified when the negative directional indicator exceeds positive DI and ADX confirms directional movement. This state applies the most conservative buy settings, requiring deep oversold conditions before generating buy signals.
Neutral applies when neither trend condition is met, using moderate threshold settings appropriate for range-bound or transitional markets.
Dynamic RSI Thresholds
A key innovation is the automatic adjustment of RSI thresholds based on trend state. In a strong uptrend, the buy RSI threshold might be set to 50, allowing entries when RSI merely pulls back to neutral rather than requiring oversold conditions. The sell threshold rises to 72, keeping traders in positions longer during favorable conditions.
In downtrends, the buy RSI threshold drops to 25, ensuring buys only trigger on genuine capitulation. The sell threshold drops to 64, making exits easier to trigger.
In neutral markets, traditional oversold and overbought levels apply, with buy triggers around RSI 30 and sell triggers around RSI 68.
This adaptive approach prevents the common problem of indicators that work well in one market environment but fail in others.
Dynamic Cooldown
The signal cooldown period adjusts based on trend strength. During normal conditions, a standard cooldown prevents signal clustering. When ADX exceeds the strong trend threshold and is rising, indicating a powerful trend, the cooldown period extends. This helps traders stay in winning positions longer by reducing the frequency of counter-trend signals.
Cascade Protection
The indicator includes protection mechanisms to prevent overtrading and averaging down into losing positions.
The BBWP (Bollinger Band Width Percentile) monitor tracks current volatility relative to historical levels. When BBWP exceeds a threshold, indicating a volatility spike often associated with sharp moves, all buy signals are frozen. This protects against entering during panic selloffs or blow-off tops.
The consecutive buy counter tracks how many buy signals have occurred without an intervening sell. After reaching the maximum (default 3), no additional buy signals are generated until a sell occurs. This prevents the destructive pattern of repeatedly buying a declining asset.
Both protection mechanisms are displayed in the information panel, allowing traders to understand why signals may or may not be firing.
Signal Generation
Buy signals require price to touch or penetrate the lower band, RSI to be below the dynamic threshold, and the market to be in a trending state (when that filter is enabled). Additionally, the cooldown period must have elapsed and cascade protection must not be blocking buys.
Sell signals require price to touch or penetrate the upper band, RSI to be above the dynamic threshold, and the cooldown to have elapsed.
Signal labels display the entry price, signal type (shallow dip, capitulation, extended, bounce sell, or neutral), and the current position in the consecutive buy count.
Visual Components
The indicator provides multiple layers of visual feedback.
Cloud shading between the bands changes based on whether the composite score is in a buy zone or sell zone. Green clouds indicate bullish score readings, while red clouds indicate bearish readings.
Background coloring reflects the overall market regime. Green background indicates a bullish regime (positive DI leadership with volume confirmation), red indicates bearish regime, and white indicates neutral conditions.
An ADX bar at the bottom of the chart uses color coding: white for ranging (very low ADX), orange for flat, and blue for trending conditions.
The information panel displays the composite score with color coding, current trend state, active RSI thresholds, divergence status, BBWP freeze status, buy counter, market regime, ADX value with trend indicator, current cooldown setting, and live RSI reading color-coded against the active thresholds.
A debug panel can be enabled to show the individual component scores, helping users understand what is driving the composite reading.
How to Use
Monitor the composite score in the information panel. Readings above the buy threshold combined with price near the lower band represent potential long entries. Readings below the sell threshold with price near the upper band suggest exit opportunities.
Pay attention to the trend state. In strong uptrends, be more willing to buy dips and more patient with holding positions. In downtrends, require stronger confirmation before entering and be quicker to take profits on bounces.
Watch the cascade protection status. If BBWP shows frozen or the buy counter is approaching maximum, exercise additional caution regardless of other signals.
Use the dynamic RSI thresholds as context. When the panel shows buy RSI threshold at 50 (strong uptrend), even a pullback to RSI 45 is a potential entry. When the threshold shows 25 (downtrend), wait for genuine capitulation conditions.
Component Weight Adjustment
The relative importance of each scoring component can be adjusted through the settings. The default weights emphasize trend strength (30%) and momentum (25%), with volume (20%), price structure (15%), and price action (10%) providing confirmation.
For trend-following strategies, consider increasing trend and momentum weights. For mean-reversion approaches, increase the price structure weight to emphasize band position. The weights should sum to approximately 1.0 for proper score scaling.
Settings Guidance
The default settings are calibrated for cryptocurrency markets on lower timeframes. For traditional markets or longer timeframes, consider adjusting the ADX trending threshold (lower values for less volatile assets), the dynamic RSI levels for each trend state, and the cascade protection parameters.
The Heikin Ashi option for band calculation can provide smoother bands but may introduce slight lag. The default setting uses standard price data for better real-time accuracy.

Range Opening (ADX)▶ OVERVIEW
Range Opening (ADX) dynamically detects market opening ranges triggered by ADX (Average Directional Index) momentum shifts. Upon a user-defined ADX crossover or crossunder event, it builds a volume-based range box that tracks high and low prices over a fixed bar length and visualizes order flow pressure with delta volume and breakout buffer zones.
▶ RANGE TRIGGER VIA ADX CROSSOVER
The range begins when ADX crosses a custom threshold, indicating a shift in trend strength:
Users choose between ADX crossover or crossunder as the trigger.
Once triggered, the indicator starts collecting price and volume data for the specified “Range Opening Length.”
The ADX plot on the subchart is colored dynamically using a green-to-magenta gradient based on its strength.
A small label marks the ADX crossover/crossunder event visually.
▶ RANGE DEVELOPMENT BOX
While the range is forming:
Price highs and lows over the defined period are collected and stored.
A temporary gray box is drawn between the maximum high and minimum low, showing the developing range.
At each bar, delta volume is updated:
Positive if close > open
Negative if close < open
A total delta volume value is shown inside the developing box for real-time monitoring.
▶ RANGE COMPLETION & BREAKOUT LINES
Once the range completes (after the defined bar count):
The gray box is replaced with a finalized, color-coded range box.
Color Logic:
Green box if delta volume is positive (bullish bias)
Magenta box if delta is negative (bearish bias)
Two solid horizontal lines are drawn:
Top line from the range high
Bottom line from the range low
Two dashed lines are added above and below the range using ATR-based buffers, acting as buffer zones.
These lines extend until a new ADX trigger occurs, helping track future price interaction with the range.
▶ INFO PANEL & STATUS MONITORING
A compact data table appears in the top-right corner, offering quick insight:
ADX: Current value, color-coded to strength.
Threshold: User-defined trigger level.
Range Status:
Shows a green diamond when range is still forming.
Shows a magenta diamond after the range has completed.
Tooltip updates to “Developing” or “Formatted” based on stage.
▶ USAGE
Traders can use Range Opening (ADX) to:
Identify periods of strength expansion and price consolidation using ADX signals.
Track breakout potential and liquidity zones formed during opening-type setups.
Monitor delta volume to gauge buying/selling bias inside short-term ranges.
Use ATR buffer zones for breakout confirmation or fade setups.
Visually mark where the most recent structured range was defined.
▶ CONCLUSION
Range Opening (ADX) offers a systematic method to detect and monitor market ranges triggered by volatility surges. With real-time delta volume insight, persistent breakout levels, and ADX-driven logic, it serves as a versatile tool for both breakout traders and range strategists looking to capitalize on momentum-based setups.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) [SB Instant]🧠 Modified by SB | Core Logic by LuxAlgo
🔗 Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a concept rooted in observing shifts in order flow behavior, designed to detect the first signs of trend exhaustion and potential reversal. This model tracks when the current delivery (trend) structure — bullish or bearish — is violated by an opposing force, signaling a potential change in market intent.
In simple terms:
A Bullish CISD is triggered when sellers fail to maintain control, and buyers break above a delivery line.
A Bearish CISD is triggered when buyers fail, and sellers break below a delivery line.
This version uses real-time logic, triggering alerts immediately on break, rather than waiting for candle-close confirmation — giving faster, actionable signals to precision-driven traders.
⚙️ Core Features
Detection Modes
Classic: Traditional swing-based structural break detection
Liquidity Sweep: Logic incorporating wick sweeps (liquidity grabs)
Custom Parameters
Swing Length: Number of candles used to identify swing points
Minimum CISD Duration: Minimum length required for valid delivery phase
Maximum Swing Validity: How long the structure remains valid for potential breaks
Visual Options
Label and line styling options
Solid line = Initial break of delivery structure
Dashed line = Continuation break in the same trend direction
This allows you to visually differentiate a new reversal vs. a continuation of the existing trend.
🚨 Built-in Alerts
Bullish CISD Detected (Instant)
Bearish CISD Detected (Instant)
These alerts fire immediately when structure is broken, offering early confirmation for aggressive or reactive trade setups.
🔔 IMPORTANT:
If an alert triggers but the delivery line is not present, wait for the price to form the CISD label again and manually mark the price level using a horizontal ray. This ensures you are trading from a clearly defined structure.
🕒 Recommended Timeframes
✅ Use 30-Minute or 4-Hour charts to identify high-confidence CISD zones
🎯 Then drop to the 1-Minute or 5-Minute chart for precise entry execution
This top-down approach aligns higher timeframe narrative with lower timeframe entry triggers, increasing your edge in both timing and context.
🧠 How to Use CISD Effectively
Bullish Scenario:
Watch for breaks above bearish delivery structures, especially if confirmed with:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The Strat 2-2 reversal
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Bearish Scenario:
Look for breaks below bullish delivery setups in alignment with:
BOS (Break of Structure)
The Strat 3-1-2
Bearish liquidity sweeps
Key Tip:

Original CISD framework developed by LuxAlgo
Real-time execution logic, alert enhancements, and intraday utility designed by SB (SamB)
AB_Bnf_Selling_5minThe Mathematical Level Reversal Strategy is designed to identify potential reversal points in the market using mathematical levels combined with price action on a 5-minute chart. This strategy is particularly effective for intraday traders who seek to capitalize on precise entry and exit points based on calculated levels rather than traditional indicators like moving averages or Bollinger Bands.
Creators' Mathematical Levels Explanation
Mathematical levels are predetermined price points calculated based on various factors such as previous high/low points, Fibonacci retracements, or other arithmetic calculations. These levels are used to anticipate areas where the price might reverse or experience significant support or resistance.
higher threshold: A predefined level where the price is expected to experience resistance, leading to a potential reversal downward.
Lower Threshold: A predefined level where the price might find support, leading to a potential upward reversal.
In this strategy, we focus on price movements around the upper mathematical level, where prices are likely to reverse downwards.
Strategy Logic
Setup:
The strategy is applied on a 5-minute chart.
Mathematical levels are calculated based on your preferred method, such as Fibonacci levels, pivot points, or custom calculations. For this strategy, let's assume we are using a specific predefined upper level.
Sell Signal Criteria:
A 5-minute candle must cross above the predefined upper mathematical level or close entirely above it (open and close both above the level).
The following candle must break below the low of the candle that crossed the upper level and close below that low. This confirms a bearish reversal.
Once these conditions are met, a sell signal is triggered.
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is placed at the high of the candle that crossed above the upper mathematical level.
This level represents the point where the trade setup would be invalidated.
Take Profit:
Target 1: The first take profit is set at a level that offers a 1:5 risk-to-reward ratio.
Target 2: An alternative take profit level is set at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Trade Management:
Once a trade is initiated, no new trades will be taken until the current trade hits either the stop loss or the first take profit level. This prevents overlapping signals and helps in managing risk effectively.
Originality and Usefulness
This strategy offers a unique approach by using mathematical levels instead of traditional indicators. It provides traders with a clear framework for identifying and executing high-probability reversal trades, particularly in intraday markets.
Originality:
The strategy's originality lies in its reliance on mathematical levels combined with a multi-candle confirmation pattern. This approach reduces the chances of false signals and offers a robust method for identifying potential reversals.
Usefulness:
The strategy is particularly useful for traders who prefer a more quantitative approach, relying on calculated price levels rather than indicators. The clear rules for entry, stop loss, and take profit make it easier to execute consistently.
The inclusion of both 1:5 and 1:3 risk-to-reward targets allows for flexibility depending on market conditions, ensuring that traders can adapt to varying levels of volatility.
Chart Signals and Examples
To demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy, let's look at a few hypothetical examples on a 5-minute chart:
Example 1: Clear Reversal Signal
The price steadily rises and crosses above the predefined upper mathematical level. The next candle breaks below the low of this candle and closes lower, triggering a sell signal.
A red dotted line is drawn at the stop loss level (the high of the candle that crossed the upper level).
Two green dashed lines are drawn to indicate the first and second take profit levels.
Example 2: No Signal Due to Ongoing Trade
After an initial sell signal is triggered, the price fluctuates but does not hit either the stop loss or the first take profit target. During this period, the strategy refrains from issuing any new signals, adhering to the trade management rule.
Example 3: Trade Reaches Target 1
In another scenario, the price moves sharply in favor of the trade after the signal is triggered. The first take profit level is hit, securing a profit. The trade is then considered closed, and the strategy is ready to issue a new signal when conditions are met.
CyclesThis is a modified Stochastic indicator. Modifications include:
1. The output is now centered on "0" and the scale is from -50 to +50, so that histograms and columns can be used to plot the output.
2. Added visual trade setup triggers. A trigger to the up side is a cycle high and indicates a "sell signal". A trigger to the down side is a cycle low and indicates a "buy" signal.
3. Added an alert trigger to be used to setup alerts. Selecting "Alert" to be Greater Than (>) Value = 0.00 will trigger an alert if either the buy or sell triggers occur.
4. Added a force indicator output. This indicates the rate of change in "D", or mathematically "dD/dt", as was done in the Power Analyzer indicator. When Force and D are in-phase, the maximum power is achieved.
5. Added "Slow Average Momentum" and "Slow Average Force" as was done in the Power Analyzer indicator.
6. Added an internal MACD and EMA as part of the trade setup trigger equation. There is a new input variable for the EMA length.
7. Added an input variable for the "Trigger Threshold", which ranges from -50 to 50, to be used as a screening filter.
Monthly DI+ & RSI StrategyOverview This strategy is designed to capture significant trend reversals and continuations on the Monthly timeframe. It combines the trend-following capability of the Directional Movement Index (DMI) with the fast momentum detection of RSI (Period 6).
Core Logic The strategy triggers a long position based on a dual-confirmation system. It looks for a specific "handshake" between Trend (DI) and Momentum (RSI).
Entry Conditions (OR Logic) A Buy signal is generated if EITHER of the following occurs:
Trend Trigger: DI+ crosses over DI- (while RSI is already bullish, trading above its SMA).
Momentum Trigger: RSI(6) crosses over RSI SMA(14) (while the trend is already bullish, with DI+ > DI-).
Exit Condition (Stop Loss)
Trend Reversal: The position is closed immediately if DI- crosses over DI+, indicating the bullish trend has been invalidated.
Default Settings
Timeframe: Optimized for 1M (Monthly) charts.
RSI: Length 6
RSI SMA: Length 14
DMI: Length 14 / Smoothing 14

Advanced Market Structure [OmegaTools]📌 Market Structure
Advanced Market Structure is a next–generation indicator designed to decode price structure in real time by combining classical swing–based analysis with modern quantitative confirmation techniques. Built for traders who demand both precision and adaptability, it provides a robust multi–layered framework to identify structural shifts, trend continuations, and potential reversals across any asset class or timeframe.
Unlike traditional structure indicators that rely solely on visual swing identification, Market Structure introduces an integrated methodology: pivot detection, Donchian trend modeling, statistical confirmation via Z–Score, and volume–based validation. Each element contributes to a comprehensive, systematic representation of the underlying market dynamics.
🔑 Core Features
1. Five Distinct Market Structure Modes
Standard Mode:
Captures structural breaks through classical swing high/low pivots. Ideal for discretionary traders looking for clarity in directional bias.
Confirmed Breakout Mode:
Requires validation beyond the initial pivot break, filtering out noise and reducing false positives.
Donchian Trend HL (High/Low):
Establishes structure based on absolute highs and lows over rolling lookback windows. This approach highlights broader momentum shifts and trend–defining extremes.
Donchian Trend CC (Close/Close):
Similar to HL mode, but calculated using closing prices, enabling more precise bias identification where close–to–close structure carries stronger statistical weight.
Average Mode:
A composite methodology that synthesizes the four models into a weighted signal, producing a balanced structural bias designed to minimize model–specific weaknesses.
2. Dynamic Pivot Recognition with Auto–Updating Levels
Swing highs and lows are automatically detected and plotted with adaptive horizontal levels. These dynamic support/resistance markers continuously extend into the future, ensuring that historically significant levels remain visible and actionable.
3. Color–Adaptive Candlesticks
Price bars are dynamically recolored to reflect the prevailing structural regime: bullish (default blue), bearish (default red), or neutral (gray). This enables instant visual recognition of regime changes without requiring external confirmation.
4. Statistical Reversal Triggers
The script integrates a 21–period Z–Score calculation applied to closing prices, combined with multi–layered volume confirmation (SMA and EMA convergence).
Bullish trigger: Z–Score < –2 with structural confirmation and volume support.
Bearish trigger: Z–Score > +2 with structural confirmation and volume support.
Signals are plotted as diamond markers above or below the bars, identifying potential high–probability reversal setups in real time.
5. Integrated Alpha Backtesting Engine
Each market structure mode is evaluated through a built–in backtesting routine, tracking hit ratios and consistency across the most recent ~2000 structural events.
Performance metrics (“Alpha”) are displayed directly on–chart via a dedicated Performance Dashboard Table, allowing side–by–side comparison of Standard, Confirmed Breakout, Donchian HL, Donchian CC, and Average models.
Traders can instantly evaluate which structural methodology best adapts to the current market conditions.
🎯 Practical Advantages
Systematic Clarity: Eliminates subjectivity in defining structural bias, offering a rules–based framework.
Statistical Transparency: Built–in performance metrics validate each mode in real time, allowing informed decision–making.
Noise Reduction: Confirmed Breakouts and Donchian modes filter out common traps in structural trading.
Multi–Asset Adaptability: Optimized for scalping, intraday, swing, and multi–day strategies across FX, equities, futures, commodities, and crypto.
Complementary Usage: Works as a stand–alone structure identifier or as a quantitative filter in larger algorithmic/trading frameworks.
⚙️ Ideal Users
Discretionary traders seeking an objective reference for structural bias.
Quantitative/systematic traders requiring on–chart statistical validation of structural regimes.
Technical analysts leveraging pivots, Donchian channels, and price action as part of broader frameworks.
Portfolio traders integrating structure into multi–factor models.
💡 Why This Tool?
Market Structure is not a static indicator — it is an adaptive framework. By merging classical pivot theory with Donchian–style momentum analysis, and reinforcing both with statistical backtesting and volume confirmation, it provides traders with a unique ability:
To see the structure,
To measure its reliability,
And to act with confidence on quantifiably validated signals.
5m Exit AlertsThese can help a lot with Daytrading if you don't have a price target in mind when there's no clear resistance / support nearby, and you don't trust the market enough to hold it as a swing trade.
Keep in mind that its main purpose is to give you a "warning" that it might be good to look at your screen, instead of guaranteeing you "now is the best time to exit". You won't reach high winning stats by blindly following this alert.
"A Exit LONG":
(I'm using letters instead of numbers for all Exit alerts to make sure I don't accidentally confuse Enter and Exit alerts).
There are 4 conditions that might trigger it. The reasons show up in the exit alert message (unfortunately only as a number, since alert messages can't have "dynamic text" in TradingView), and can also be displayed as symbols in the chart (see image above - make sure to enable "Show Signals" in the indicator settings first though).
Here are the conditions sorted from best to worst:
Technical reversal: Bearish Hammer candle with Volume > 2 * avg volume (of last 30 candles), when 5m candle closed. Reversal very likely. This is usually the best time to take your gains for the rest of the day.
EMA 3/8 cross: standard 5m EMA 3/8 cross, indicating a trend reversal, or at least a pullback. Can also be helpful to detect double tops / double bottoms.
Trailing Stop Loss: Crossed below 30m EMA 8, 5m candle closed. This is a "fallback" alert in case EMA 3 was already below EMA 8 before you set up the alert. It's not unlikely that the stock might go further down to VWAP, so depending on the chart and market this might be a good opportunity to save the gains you have left.
"Final" Stop Loss: Crossed below VWAP. Usually not a good sign. If you entered around VWAP your losses shouldn't be big yet, but if you plan on holding the stock the Daily chart and market outlook should better be quite convincing, and you wouldn't have needed to use this alert in the first place.
Keep in mind these work of course best if you picked a "good" stock: clear movement, tidy price action, high volume. Otherwise alerts are more likely to be triggered redundantly.
Always consider how the market and stock looks like, then decide whether to exit or not! Usually it makes sense to wait a bit to see f. e. whether the stock bounces off the 30m EMA 8, and it's just a pullback.
"B Enter SHORT":
Similar, but for shorts...
"C 1m Scalp LONG" + "D 1m Scalp SHORT":
Simple Scalping alert for EMA 3/8 cross on a 1m chart - but without needing to use a 1m chart to set it up!
Unfortunately it's not as accurate as manually setting this alert up on a 1m chart. It might be an advantage though that it sometimes is triggered 1-2 min later, since this means there are less redundant triggerings.
It can be useful esp. on high momentum trades, but I honestly haven't used it in a looong while.
"X Candle Close":
same as in 5m Entry indicator: triggered when 5m candle is confirmed
"Z Trend Change: UP" + "Z Trend Change: DOWN":
This one is meant to be used only on SPY: It alerts you when SPY is changing its trending direction, which might mean entering or closing existing trades.
I have therefore set it up to never end (by setting it to "Once Per Bar Close" in the alert settings).
It's based on DMI positive or negative being > 25. I had it based on VWAP at the beginning, but there were days where it was triggered every 5 minutes...

Engulfing & Pin Bar Breakout StrategyOverview
This strategy automates a classic, powerful trading methodology based on identifying key candlestick reversal patterns and trading the subsequent price breakout. It is designed to be a complete, "set-and-go" system with built-in risk and position size management.
The core logic operates on the 1-Hour timeframe, scanning for four distinct high-probability reversal signals: two bullish and two bearish. An entry is only triggered when the market confirms the signal by breaking a key price level, aiming to capture momentum following a potential shift in market sentiment.
The Strategy Logic
The system is composed of two distinct modules: Bullish (Long) and Bearish (Short).
🐂 Bullish (Long) Setup
The script initiates a long trade based on the following strict criteria:
Signal: Identifies either a Hammer or a Bullish Engulfing pattern. These patterns often indicate that sellers are losing control and buyers are stepping in.
Confirmation: Waits for the very next candle after the signal.
Entry Trigger: A long position is automatically opened as soon as the price breaks above the high of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Immediately set just below the low of the signal candle.
Take Profit: A fixed target is placed at a 1:5 Risk/Reward Ratio.
🐻 Bearish (Short) Setup
The script initiates a short trade based on the following strict criteria:
Signal: Identifies either a Shooting Star or a Bearish Engulfing pattern. These patterns suggest buying pressure is fading and sellers are taking over.
Confirmation: Waits for the very next candle after the signal.
Entry Trigger: A short position is automatically opened as soon as the price breaks below the low of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Immediately set just above the high of the signal candle.
Take Profit: A fixed target is placed at a 1:4 Risk/Reward Ratio.
Key Feature: Automated Risk Management
This strategy is designed for disciplined trading. You do not need to calculate position sizes manually.
Fixed Risk: The script automatically calculates the correct position size to risk exactly 2% of your total account equity on every single trade.
Dynamic Sizing: The position size will adjust based on the distance between your entry price and your stop loss for each specific setup, ensuring a consistent risk profile.
How To Use
Apply the script to your chosen chart (e.g., BTC/USD).
Crucially, set your chart's timeframe to 1-Hour (H1). The strategy is specifically calibrated for this interval.
Navigate to the "Strategy Tester" tab below your chart to view backtest results, including net profit, win rate, and individual trades.

MR.Z Stoch RSI %K Reversal Signals🟢 K Strategy Description
The K Strategy is a momentum-based trading technique using the %K line from the Stochastic Oscillator. It is designed to detect potential reversal points in price trends by identifying extreme conditions of overbought and oversold levels.
✅ Core Logic:
The strategy monitors the %K line (a smoothed form of RSI momentum).
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The %K line dips to or below a defined lower threshold (commonly 30 or less).
This suggests the asset is oversold and may soon reverse upward.
A Sell Signal is triggered when:
The %K line peaks above an upper threshold (commonly 70 or more).
This suggests the asset is overbought and may reverse downward.
⚙️ Adjustable Parameters:
K Length: The sensitivity of the %K calculation (affects how fast it responds).
Buy Level: Set your oversold trigger (e.g., 20–40).
Sell Level: Set your overbought trigger (e.g., 60–100).
Signal Smoothing (optional): Helps reduce noise and avoid false triggers.
📈 Use Case:
This strategy is effective in ranging markets where prices frequently oscillate. It can also be used with other indicators (like EMA, volume filters, or price action confirmation) to increase accuracy in trending conditions.
Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum# **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM) Indicator**
## **🔍 Overview**
Introducing the **Volume-Confirmed Price Momentum (VCPM)**, a sophisticated dual-metric indicator designed to identify high-probability momentum moves by analyzing the relationship between price action and volume dynamics. This indicator combines correlation analysis with volume strength validation to filter out weak signals and highlight institutional-backed movements.
---
## **⚙️ Core Mechanics**
**Price-Volume Correlation Engine:**
- Calculates real-time correlation between price movements and volume
- Configurable lookback period (default: 8 bars)
- Option to use price changes or absolute values
- Correlation range: -1.0 (perfect negative) to +1.0 (perfect positive)
**Volume Strength Analyzer:**
- Compares current volume against its moving average (default: 128 periods)
- Normalizes volume ratio to 0-1 scale for consistent interpretation
- Identifies when volume significantly exceeds historical norms
---
## **📊 Signal Generation**
### **🟢 Bullish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Positive correlation > 0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price and volume moving in harmony upward
- Above-average volume confirms the move
- Indicates strong institutional buying interest
### **🔴 Bearish Confirmation Signal**
**Trigger:** Negative correlation < -0.6 + Volume ratio > 0.5
- Price declining with increasing volume
- Suggests distribution or institutional selling
- High-confidence bearish momentum
---
## **🎯 Trading Applications**
**Breakout Validation:**
Filter false breakouts by requiring volume confirmation before entering positions.
**Trend Continuation:**

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: How do I input my Buy Price and Buy Date?
The script allows you to either manually input the Buy Price and Buy Date or use the automated detection. If you choose automated detection, the script will automatically assign the buy date when the price crosses above your set Buy Price.
Q2: What is the purpose of the "Sell Rules"?
The script offers four sell strategies to help manage different types of stocks in varying phases of their lifecycle:
Ascender Rule: Targets IPO stocks showing positive momentum.
Midterm Rule: A defensive strategy for stocks in a steady uptrend.
40 Week Rule: Long-term hold strategy designed to ride stocks through extended growth.
Everest Rule: Aggressive strategy to capture profits during parabolic price moves.
Q3: What is the significance of the Green Line at Buy Price?
The Green Line represents your entry point (Buy Price) on the chart. It will appear from the buy date onwards, helping you track the performance of your stock relative to your entry.
Q4: Can I customize the Sell Strategy?
Yes! You can choose from the available Sell Rules (Ascender Rule, Midterm Rule, 40 Week Rule, Everest Rule) via an input option in the script. Each strategy has its own unique triggers based on price action, moving averages, and time-based conditions.
Q5: Does this script work for stocks and crypto?
Yes, this script is designed for both stocks and cryptocurrencies. It works on any asset where price data and timeframes are available.
Q6: How do the Weekly Moving Averages (WSMA) work in this strategy?
The script uses weekly moving averages (WSMA) to track longer-term trends. These are essential for some of the sell rules, such as the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, which rely on the stock's movement relative to the 40-week moving average.
Q7: Will the script plot a Sell Signal immediately after the Buy Date?
No, sell signals will only be plotted after the Buy Date. This ensures that the sell strategy is relevant to your actual holding period and avoids premature triggers.
Q8: How do I interpret the Sell Signal?
The script will plot a Red Sell Signal above the bar when the sell conditions are met, based on the selected strategy. This indicates that it may be a good time to exit the position according to your chosen rule.
Q9: Can I use this strategy on different timeframes?
Yes, you can apply the script to any timeframe. However, some sell strategies, like the Midterm Rule and 40 Week Rule, are designed to work best with weekly data, so it's recommended to use these strategies with longer timeframes.
Q10: Does this script have any alerts?
Yes! The script supports alert conditions that will notify you when the sell conditions are met according to your selected rule. You can set up alerts to stay informed without needing to watch the chart constantly.
Q11: What if I want to disable some of the sell rules?
You can select your preferred sell rule using the "Select Sell Rule" dropdown. If you don’t want to use a particular rule, simply choose a different strategy or leave it inactive.

Buy and Sell Signal at 50% Retracement, Based on MANDO MODELthe sell is taking out a previous high. leave some runners and practice safe trading.
Explanation of Behavior:
When the price retraces 50% of the defined range (from the low to high), a Buy signal is triggered.
After the Buy signal, if the price moves above the previous high (after retracement), a Sell signal is triggered.
Once a Sell signal is triggered, the range is reset, and a new range needs to form before another signal can be triggered.
Test this:
Apply the script to your chart.
Check for Buy signals when the price crosses the 50% retracement level.
Sell signals will trigger once the price breaks above the previous high after the retracement phase.
Ensure that the signals are plotted as arrows on the chart and that the background color changes to indicate Buy or Sell.
Alerts Setup:
To set up alerts:
Right-click on the chart and select Add Alert.
For Buy Signal: Choose the condition Buy and Sell Signal at 50% Retracement with Top Break > Buy Signal.
For Sell Signal: Choose the condition Buy and Sell Signal at 50% Retracement with Top Break > Sell Signal.
Set your preferred alert type (popup, email, etc.).
Click Create to set the alert.
Dynamic Ratchet Trend Strategy [VIX Filter]Overview This strategy is a long-only trend-following system designed to capture major market moves while strictly managing downside risk through a state-machine based "Ratchet" exit logic. It incorporates a volatility filter using the CBOE VIX index to stay out of (or exit) the market during high-stress environments.
Key Features
1. Multi-Condition Entries The strategy looks for momentum shifts and trend breakouts using four Simple Moving Averages (25, 50, 100, 200).
Momentum Cross: SMA 25 crossover above SMA 50.
Trend Breakouts: A specific "3-Bar Breakout" logic above the SMA 50, 100, or 200. This requires the price to hold above the SMA for 3 consecutive bars after being below it, reducing false signals compared to simple closes.
2. VIX Volatility Filter Before entering any trade, the script checks the CBOE:VIX.
Filter: If VIX is above the threshold (default 32), new entries are blocked.
Panic Exit: If you are in a position and the VIX spikes above the threshold, the strategy executes an immediate "Panic Exit" to preserve capital during market crashes.
3. The "Ratchet" Exit System (3 Stages) Unlike a standard trailing stop, this strategy uses a 3-stage dynamic exit mechanism that tightens as profits grow:
Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Standard percentage-based Stop Loss from the entry price.
Stage 1 (The Lock-In): Triggered when profit hits 10% (configurable).
Unique Logic: Instead of trailing from the highest high, the stop is calculated based on the price at the exact moment this stage was triggered. It "steps up" once and holds, securing the initial move without being prematurely stopped out by normal volatility.
Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): Triggered when profit hits 15% (configurable).
The strategy switches to a classic Trailing Stop, following the percentage distance from the Highest High.
4. Emergency Backup A "Dead Cross" (SMA 25 crossing under SMA 50) acts as a final fail-safe to close positions if the trend reverses completely before hitting a stop.
Settings & Inputs
SMAs: Customize the lengths for all four moving averages.
VIX Filter: Toggle the filter on/off and set the panic threshold.
Exit Logic: Fully customizable percentages for Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger/Distance, and Stage 2 Trigger/Trailing Distance.

Built for reading who is in control, where participation clustered, and when effort is failing to produce result.
What is CVD
Cumulative Volume Delta accumulates the difference between aggressive buys and aggressive sells over time. When CVD rises, buyers are lifting the offer more than sellers are hitting the bid. When CVD falls, the opposite is true. Plotting CVD alongside price helps you judge whether price moves are supported by real participation or are running on fumes.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components
CVD Columns - Plot of cumulative delta, colored by side, for quick read of participation bias.
CVD Profile - Price-aligned histogram of CVD accumulation using user-set bins. Shows where net initiative clustered.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Optional two-sided profile that separates positive and negative CVD into distinct wings.
POC - Point of Control - The price level with the highest absolute CVD accumulation, labeled and line-marked.
Heatmap - Semi-transparent blocks behind price that encode CVD intensity across the last N bars.
Divergence Engine - Pivot-based detection of Bearish and Bullish CVD divergences with optional lines and labels.
Stats Panel - Top level metrics: Total CVD, Buy and Sell totals with percentages, Delta Ratio, and current POC price.
How it works
Delta source and sampling
You select an Anchor Timeframe that defines the higher time aggregation for reading the trend of CVD.
The script pulls lower timeframe volume delta and aggregates it to the anchor window. You can let it auto-select the lower timeframe or force a custom one.
CVD is then accumulated bar by bar to form a running total. This plot shows the direction and persistence of initiative.
Profile construction
The recent price range is split into Profile Granularity bins.
As price traverses a bin, the current delta contribution is added to that bin.
If Split Buy and Sell CVD is enabled, positive CVD goes to the right wing and negative CVD to the left wing.
Widths are scaled by each side’s maximum so you can compare distribution shape at a glance.
The Point of Control is the bin with the highest absolute CVD. This marks where initiative concentrated the most.
Heatmap
For each bin, the script computes intensity as absolute CVD relative to the maximum bin value.
Color is derived from the side in control in that bin and shaded by intensity.
Heatmap Length sets how far back the panels extend, highlighting recurring participation zones.
Divergence model
You define pivot sensitivity with Pivot Left and Right .
Bearish divergence triggers when price confirms a higher high while CVD fails to make a higher high within a configurable Delta Tolerance .
Bullish divergence triggers when price confirms a lower low while CVD fails to make a lower low.
On trigger, optional link lines and labels are drawn at the pivots for immediate context.
Key Settings
Delta Source
Anchor Timeframe - Higher TF for the CVD narrative.
Custom Lower TF and Lower Timeframe - Force the sampling TF if desired.
Pivot Logic

Reading the display
CVD columns
Rising CVD confirms buyers are in control. Falling CVD confirms sellers.
Flat or choppy CVD during wide price moves hints at passive or exhausted participation.
CVD profile wings
Thick right wing near a price zone implies heavy buy initiative accumulated there.
Thick left wing implies heavy sell initiative.
POC marks the strongest initiative node. Expect reactions on first touch and rotations around this level when the tape is balanced.
Heatmap
Brighter blocks indicate stronger historical net initiative at that price.
Stacked bright bands form CVD high volume nodes. These often behave like magnets or shelves for future trade.
Divergences
Bearish - Price prints a higher high while CVD fails to do so. Effort is not producing result. Potential fade or pause.
Bullish - Price prints a lower low while CVD fails to do so. Capitulation lacks initiative. Potential bounce or reversal.
Stats panel
Total CVD - Net initiative over the window.
Buy and Sell volume with percentages - Side composition.
Delta Ratio - Buy over Sell. Values above 1 favor buyers, below 1 favor sellers.
POC Price - Current control node for plan and risk.
Workflows
Trend following
Choose an Anchor Timeframe that matches your holding period.
Trade in the direction of CVD slope while price holds above a bullish POC or below a bearish POC.
Use pullbacks to CVD nodes on your profile as entry locations.
Trend weakens when price makes new highs but CVD stalls, or new lows while CVD recovers.
Mean reversion
Look for divergences at or near prior CVD nodes, especially the POC.
Fade tests into thick wings when the side that dominated there now fails to push CVD further.
Target rotations back toward the POC or the opposite wing edge.
Liquidity and execution map
Treat strong wings and heatmap bands as probable passive interest zones.
Expect pauses, partial fills, or flips at these shelves.
Stops make sense beyond the far edge of the active wing supporting your idea.
Alerts included
CVD Bearish Divergence and CVD Bullish Divergence.
Price Cross Above POC and Price Cross Below POC.
Extreme Buy Imbalance and Extreme Sell Imbalance from Delta Ratio.
CVD Turn Bullish and CVD Turn Bearish when net CVD crosses zero.
Price Near POC proximity alert.
Best practices
Use a higher Anchor Timeframe to stabilize the CVD story and a sensible Profile Granularity so wings are readable without clutter.
Keep Split mode on when you want to separate initiative attribution. Turn it off when you prefer a single net profile.
Tune Pivot Left and Right by instrument to avoid overfitting. Larger values find swing divergences. Smaller values find micro fades.
If volume is thin or synthetic for the symbol, CVD will be less reliable. The script will warn if volume is zero.
Trading applications
Context - Confirm or question breakouts with CVD slope.
Location - Build entries at CVD nodes and POC.
Timing - Use divergence and POC crosses for triggers.
Risk - Place stops beyond the opposite wing or outside the POC shelf.
Important notes and limits
This is a price and volume based study. It does not access off-book or venue-level order flow.
CVD profiles are built from the data available on your chart and the chosen lower timeframe sampling.
Like all volume tools, readings can distort during roll periods, holidays, or feed anomalies. Validate on your instrument.
Technical notes
Delta is aggregated from a lower timeframe into an Anchor Timeframe narrative.
Profile bins update in real time. Splitting by side scales each wing independently so both are readable in the same panel.
Divergences are confirmed using standard pivot definitions with user-set tolerances.
All profile drawing uses fixed X offsets so panels and POC do not swim when you scroll.
Quick start
Anchor Timeframe = Daily for intraday context.
Split Buy and Sell CVD = On.
Profile Granularity = 100 to 200, Profile Position = Right, Width to taste.
Pivot Left and Right around 8 to 12 to start, then adapt.
Turn on Heatmap for a fast map of interest bands.
Bottom line
CVD tells you who is doing the lifting. The profile shows where they did it. Divergences tell you when effort stops paying. Put them together and you get a clear read on control, location, and timing for both trend and mean reversion.
Opening Range v3 (Dynamic)Opening Range Signals v3 (Dynamic) - Indicator Guide
Created by: MecarderoAurum
Why This Indicator Exists: An Overview
The "Opening Range Signals" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for day traders who focus their strategy on the price action that unfolds during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) of the New York session (09:30 - 16:00 ET). The opening period of the market, often called the "initial balance," is a critical time where institutions and traders establish the early high and low for the day. Trading the breakout of this range is a classic and effective strategy, but it's often plagued by false moves and "head fakes."
This indicator was built to solve that problem. It not only identifies the initial range but also incorporates a powerful dynamic expansion feature. This allows the indicator to intelligently adapt to early session volatility, filter out false breakouts, and establish more reliable support and resistance levels for the rest of the trading day. It provides a clear, visual framework for executing opening range strategies with more confidence.
Key Features & How to Use Them
1. Customizable Opening Range
This is the foundation of the indicator. It draws the high and low of the initial trading period on your chart.
What it does: Establishes the initial support and resistance levels for the day.
How to use it: In the settings under "Time Settings," you can set the "Opening Range Duration" from 1 to 30 minutes. A shorter duration (e.g., 5 minutes) will be more sensitive and give earlier signals, while a longer duration (e.g., 30 minutes) will establish a wider, more robust range.
2. Dynamic Range Expansion
This is the indicator's most powerful and unique feature. It helps you avoid getting trapped in false breakouts.
What it does: If the price breaks out of the initial range but then quickly closes back inside, the indicator will automatically expand the range to include the full wick of the failed breakout. This tells you the market is still establishing its true range.
How to use it: In the settings under "Dynamic Range," you can:
"Enable Dynamic Range Expansion": This is on by default.
"Expansion Time Limit (Min)": Set how long the indicator should look for these failed breakouts. After this time, the range will be locked for the day.
3. Clear Visual Trading Signals
The indicator provides three distinct signals to help you interpret the price action around the opening range.
Breakout Body (Yellow plotshape):
What it means: The first confirmation that the price has decisively moved outside the established range. It appears when a candle's body closes entirely above the high or below the low.
How to use it: This is your alert that a potential breakout is underway. Do not enter yet; wait for confirmation.
Continuation (Green plotshape):
What it means: This signal appears on the candle immediately following a breakout if it shows momentum in the same direction. It confirms that the breakout has strength.
How to use it: This is a potential entry trigger. A continuation signal suggests the breakout is valid and may continue.
Failure (Red plotshape):
What it means: This signal appears if, after a breakout and continuation, the price quickly reverses and closes back inside the range. It's a strong indication of a false breakout.
How to use it: If you are in a breakout trade, a failure signal is a clear sign to exit. It can also be used as a setup for a reversal trade in the opposite direction.
Sample Strategy: The Breakout-Continuation Trade
This strategy uses the indicator's signals to trade a classic opening range breakout with added confirmation.
Setup:
Set the "Opening Range Duration" to your preferred time (e.g., 5 or 15 minutes).
Ensure the "Dynamic Range Expansion" is enabled to filter out early noise.
Entry Trigger:
Wait for a Breakout signal (yellow) to appear. This puts you on high alert.
Wait for a Continuation signal (green) on the very next candle. This is your entry trigger. Enter a long trade on a bullish continuation or a short trade on a bearish continuation.
Stop-Loss:
For a bullish (long) trade, a common stop-loss placement is just below the low of the continuation candle or, for a more conservative stop, just inside the opening range high.
For a bearish (short) trade, place your stop-loss just above the high of the continuation candle or just inside the opening range low.
Trade Management:
If a Failure signal (red) appears after you've entered, it indicates the breakout has failed. This is a strong signal to exit your trade immediately to protect your capital.
If the trade moves in your favor, you can manage it by taking profits at key levels or using a trailing stop.
Elite 30 Min Pivot - by TenAM Trader.🔍 How It Works
Trend Detection:
A trend is defined when a configurable number (default: 3) of same-colored candles (green or red) appear in a row.
The pivot is marked by the first opposite-color candle after the trend.
Signal Logic:
After the pivot forms, the script watches the next few candles (default: 2) for a breakout or close beyond the pivot high/low.
A BUY signal is triggered when price breaks/closes above a pivot high from a downtrend.
A SELL signal is triggered when price breaks/closes below a pivot low from an uptrend.
Entry & Risk Tools:
Optional features include:
Pivot Line – dashed level showing pivot entry point.
Stop Loss Line – opposite side of the pivot candle.
Labels – toggle labels for clarity on entry and risk.
Time Filter – exclude signals during specific hours (e.g. 11 AM–2 PM) to avoid lunchtime chop.
Alerts:
Enable alerts for automated notifications when buy or sell conditions are met.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Consecutive candles required before pivot
Max bars allowed after pivot for signal
Signal trigger: Break or Close
Toggle visibility of pivot lines, stop loss, and labels
Set excluded time blocks
Enable/disable real-time alerts
✅ Use Case Example
If you set trend length to 3 and signal trigger to “Break,” the script will look for 3 consecutive red candles, then a green candle (pivot). If price breaks above the pivot high within the next 2 candles, a Buy signal will fire.

magic wand STSM"Magic Wand STSM" Strategy: Trend-Following with Dynamic Risk Management
Overview:
The "Magic Wand STSM" (Supertrend & SMA Momentum) is an automated trading strategy designed to identify and capitalize on sustained trends in the market. It combines a multi-timeframe Supertrend for trend direction and potential reversal signals, along with a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) for overall market bias. A key feature of this strategy is its dynamic position sizing based on a user-defined risk percentage per trade, and a built-in daily and monthly profit/loss tracking system to manage overall exposure and prevent overtrading.
How it Works (Underlying Concepts):
Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation (Supertrend):
The strategy uses two Supertrend indicators: one on the current chart timeframe and another on a higher timeframe (e.g., if your chart is 5-minute, the higher timeframe Supertrend might be 15-minute).
Trend Identification: The Supertrend's direction output is crucial. A negative direction indicates a bearish trend (price below Supertrend), while a positive direction indicates a bullish trend (price above Supertrend).
Confirmation: A core principle is that trades are only considered when the Supertrend on both the current and the higher timeframe align in the same direction. This helps to filter out noise and focus on stronger, more confirmed trends. For example, for a long trade, both Supertrends must be indicating a bearish trend (price below Supertrend line, implying an uptrend context where price is expected to stay above/rebound from Supertrend). Similarly, for short trades, both must be indicating a bullish trend (price above Supertrend line, implying a downtrend context where price is expected to stay below/retest Supertrend).
Trend "Readiness": The strategy specifically looks for situations where the Supertrend has been stable for a few bars (checking barssince the last direction change).
Long-Term Market Bias (200 SMA):
A 200-period Simple Moving Average is plotted on the chart.
Filter: For long trades, the price must be above the 200 SMA, confirming an overall bullish bias. For short trades, the price must be below the 200 SMA, confirming an overall bearish bias. This acts as a macro filter, ensuring trades are taken in alignment with the broader market direction.
"Lowest/Highest Value" Pullback Entries:
The strategy employs custom functions (LowestValueAndBar, HighestValueAndBar) to identify specific price action within the recent trend:
For Long Entries: It looks for a "buy ready" condition where the price has found a recent lowest point within a specific number of bars since the Supertrend turned bearish (indicating an uptrend). This suggests a potential pullback or consolidation before continuation. The entry trigger is a close above the open of this identified lowest bar, and also above the current bar's open.
For Short Entries: It looks for a "sell ready" condition where the price has found a recent highest point within a specific number of bars since the Supertrend turned bullish (indicating a downtrend). This suggests a potential rally or consolidation before continuation downwards. The entry trigger is a close below the open of this identified highest bar, and also below the current bar's open.
Candle Confirmation: The strategy also incorporates a check on the candle type at the "lowest/highest value" bar (e.g., closevalue_b < openvalue_b for buy signals, meaning a bearish candle at the low, suggesting a potential reversal before a buy).
Risk Management and Position Sizing:
Dynamic Lot Sizing: The lotsvalue function calculates the appropriate position size based on your Your Equity input, the Risk to Reward ratio, and your risk percentage for your balance % input. This ensures that the capital risked per trade remains consistent as a percentage of your equity, regardless of the instrument's volatility or price. The stop loss distance is directly used in this calculation.
Fixed Risk Reward: All trades are entered with a predefined Risk to Reward ratio (default 2.0). This means for every unit of risk (stop loss distance), the target profit is rr times that distance.
Daily and Monthly Performance Monitoring:
The strategy tracks todaysWins, todaysLosses, and res (daily net result) in real-time.
A "daily profit target" is implemented (day_profit): If the daily net result is very favorable (e.g., res >= 4 with todaysLosses >= 2 or todaysWins + todaysLosses >= 8), the strategy may temporarily halt trading for the remainder of the session to "lock in" profits and prevent overtrading during volatile periods.
A "monthly stop-out" (monthly_trade) is implemented: If the lres (overall net result from all closed trades) falls below a certain threshold (e.g., -12), the strategy will stop trading for a set period (one week in this case) to protect capital during prolonged drawdowns.
Trade Execution:
Entry Triggers: Trades are entered when all buy/sell conditions (Supertrend alignment, SMA filter, "buy/sell situation" candle confirmation, and risk management checks) are met, and there are no open positions.
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically placed at the upTrendValue for long trades and downTrendValue for short trades. These values are derived from the Supertrend indicator, which naturally adjusts to market volatility.
Take Profit: The take profit is calculated based on the entry price, the stop loss, and the Risk to Reward ratio (rr).
Position Locks: lock_long and lock_short variables prevent immediate re-entry into the same direction once a trade is initiated, or after a trend reversal based on Supertrend changes.
Visual Elements:
The 200 SMA is plotted in yellow.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit lines are plotted in white, red, and green respectively when a trade is active, with shaded areas between them to visually represent risk and reward.
Diamond shapes are plotted at the bottom of the chart (green for potential buy signals, red for potential sell signals) to visually indicate when the buy_sit or sell_sit conditions are met, along with other key filters.
A comprehensive trade statistics table is displayed on the chart, showing daily wins/losses, daily profit, total deals, and overall profit/loss.
A background color indicates the active trading session.
Ideal Usage:
This strategy is best applied to instruments with clear trends and sufficient liquidity. Users should carefully adjust the Your Equity, Risk to Reward, and risk percentage inputs to align with their individual risk tolerance and capital. Experimentation with different ATR Length and Factor values for the Supertrend might be beneficial depending on the asset and timeframe.
