Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.

Candlestick Combo Strategy - [CLEVER]📊 Strategy Name:
Candlestick Combo Strategy –
🧠 Purpose
This strategy is built to identify high-probability reversal or continuation setups based on a combination of classic Japanese candlestick patterns filtered through a trend indicator (50-period SMA) and volatility measure (ATR).
It automatically executes long or short trades when multiple conditions align — giving traders a rules-based, mechanical approach to using price action patterns.
⚙️ Core Components Explained
1. Trend & Volatility Filters
50-period SMA (Simple Moving Average):
Defines market direction.
If price > SMA → Uptrend (only long signals considered).
If price < SMA → Downtrend (only short signals considered).
ATR (Average True Range):
Used to measure volatility and define the size of candlestick patterns.
Helps distinguish strong candles from normal noise.
Also used to calculate stop-loss and target levels dynamically.
2. Candlestick Patterns Detected
The script detects 8 classical patterns, some bullish (for long entries) and some bearish (for short entries).
Each pattern has specific rules based on candle bodies, wicks, and relative positioning.
🟩 Bullish (Long) Patterns
Pattern Description
Mat Hold Strong bullish continuation: a long green candle, small consolidation, then another bullish breakout.
Tower Bottom Reversal setup: large bearish candle, several small neutral candles (base), followed by a large bullish candle.
Rising Window Gap-up pattern signaling bullish strength and momentum continuation.
Bullish Marubozu Full-body bullish candle with little to no wicks — represents aggressive buying pressure.
🟥 Bearish (Short) Patterns
Pattern Description
Matching High Two strong bullish candles with nearly identical highs — signals exhaustion and potential reversal.
Falling Window Gap-down continuation pattern — confirms bearish momentum.
Bearish Marubozu Full-body bearish candle with minimal wicks — represents strong selling pressure.
Long-Legged Doji High indecision after an uptrend — potential reversal warning when confirmed by trend filter.
3. Trade Signal Logic
Long Signal:
Generated when the market is in an uptrend and one of the bullish patterns forms.
Short Signal:
Generated when the market is in a downtrend and one of the bearish patterns appears.
This ensures that signals align with the overall market structure and aren’t triggered in the opposite direction of momentum.
4. Risk Management & Trade Execution
Each trade is managed with automatic stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels based on recent price swings and risk-to-reward ratio.
Stop-Loss (SL):
For long trades → lowest low of the last 10 bars.
For short trades → highest high of the last 10 bars.
Target (TP):
Based on user-defined risk:reward ratio (RR), default is 2:1.
ATR Multiplier:
Ensures only strong patterns (larger than average candle size) trigger trades.
Trade Limiter:
The strategy includes maxOpenTrades, which restricts how many trades can be open at once (default = 1), preventing overexposure.
5. Visual Signals
Green Triangles (▲) → Long entry signals appear below candles.
Red Triangles (▼) → Short entry signals appear above candles.
These markers visually represent where the strategy detects valid setups.
💡 Trading Logic Summary

Mean Reversion Points [Clever Simplified]📊 Indicator Name:
Mean Reversion Points
🧠 Purpose
This indicator is designed to identify potential turning points in the market where the price may reverse back toward its mean (average) — a common concept in mean reversion trading strategies.
It simplifies the detection of overextended highs or lows by marking them visually on the chart, helping traders spot areas where price could correct or “revert” to a more balanced level.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Inputs
Lookback Period (len): Default 35 — defines how many previous bars are analyzed to determine highs and lows.
Show Labels / Show Markers: Toggles to display on-chart signals.
Colors:
Aqua → Mean Reversion Up (potential buy zone)
Orange → Mean Reversion Down (potential sell zone)
2. Core Calculations
The script calculates:
highest → The highest price in the last len bars.
lowest → The lowest price in the last len bars.
highest1 / lowest1 → Shorter-term highs and lows using a quarter of the main lookback (len / 4).
It then stores a “value” that updates depending on whether the price reaches a new high or low.
If the low = lowest, it records the corresponding highest level.
If the high = highest, it records the lowest level.
This dynamic relationship helps the indicator adapt as new bars form.
3. Bands for Comparison
Two “bands” are generated:
band: Long-term boundary based on full lookback period.
band1: Short-term boundary (faster and more responsive).
These act as reference zones to check when price is overstretched relative to its recent range.
4. Mean Reversion Logic
The indicator identifies potential reversal points using crossover conditions:
Mean Reversion Down (mean_rev_dn):
Triggers when the high crosses below the short-term upper band (band1), suggesting potential downward reversion (sell signal).
Mean Reversion Up (mean_rev_up):
Triggers when the low crosses above the short-term lower band (band1), suggesting potential upward reversion (buy signal).
These signals occur when price fails to maintain a breakout and is likely returning toward its mean.
5. Visual Output
If enabled:
Labels:
“Mean Rev ↓” → Placed above candles signaling a possible downward reversion.
“Mean Rev ↑” → Placed below candles signaling a possible upward reversion.
Markers:
Small colored triangles mark the same events for quick visual recognition.
💡 Practical Use
Best For: Swing traders and scalpers who trade reversals or range-bound markets.
Not Ideal For: Strong trending conditions, where price tends to move away from the mean instead of reverting.
Combination Tips: Works best when combined with:
RSI or Bollinger Bands for overbought/oversold confirmation.
Volume indicators to verify strength of reversals.

Volume Cluster Support and Resistance Levels [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator identifies statistically significant support and resistance levels through volume cluster analysis, isolating price zones characterized by elevated trading activity and institutional participation. By quantifying areas where volume concentration exceeded historical norms, it reveals price levels with demonstrated supply-demand imbalances that exhibit persistent influence on subsequent price action. The methodology is asset-agnostic and timeframe-independent, applicable across equities, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities from intraday to weekly intervals.
🟢 Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels
The indicator scans historical price data to identify bars where volume exceeds a user-defined threshold multiplier relative to the rolling average. For each qualifying bar, a representative price is calculated using the average of high, low, and close. Proximate price levels within a specified percentage range are then aggregated into discrete clusters using volume-weighted averaging, eliminating redundant signals. Clusters are ranked by cumulative volume to determine statistical significance. Finally, the indicator plots horizontal levels at each cluster price: support levels (green) below current price indicate zones where historical buying pressure exceeded selling pressure, while resistance levels (red) above current price mark zones where sellers historically dominated. These levels represent areas of established liquidity and price discovery, where institutional order flow previously concentrated.
The Touch Count (T) metric quantifies historical price interaction frequency, while Total Volume (TV) measures aggregate trading activity at each level, providing objective criteria for assessing level strength and trade execution decisions.
2. Volume Histogram
A histogram appears below the price chart, displaying relative volume for each bar within the lookback period, with bar height scaled to the maximum volume observed. Green bars represent up-periods (close > open) indicating buying pressure, while red bars show down-periods (close < open) indicating selling pressure. This visualization helps you confirm the validity of support/resistance levels by seeing where volume actually spiked, identify accumulation/distribution patterns, and validate breakouts by checking if they occur on above-average volume.
3. Built-in Alerts
Automated alerts trigger when price crosses below support levels or breaks above resistance levels, allowing you to monitor multiple assets without constant chart-watching.
4. Customizable Color Schemes
The indicator provides four preset color configurations (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Custom) optimized for visual clarity across different charting environments. Each scheme maintains consistent color mapping for support and resistance zones across both level lines and volume histogram components. The Custom configuration permits full color specification to accommodate individual charting setups, ensuring optimal visual contrast for extended analysis sessions.
Classic:
Aqua:
Cosmic:
Custom:
🟢 Pro Tips
→ Trade entry optimization: Execute long positions at support levels with high touch counts or upon confirmed resistance breakouts accompanied by above-average volume
→ Risk parameter definition: Position stop-loss orders near identified support/resistance zones with statistical significance to minimize premature exits
→ Breakout validation: Require volume confirmation exceeding historical average when price penetrates resistance to filter false breakouts
→ Level strength assessment: Prioritize levels with higher touch counts and total volume metrics for enhanced probability trade setups
→ Multi-timeframe confluence: Synthesize support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes to identify high-conviction zones where daily support aligns with 4-hour resistance structures

Gold 15m: Trend + S/R + Liquidity Sweep (RR 1:2)This strategy is designed for short-term trading on XAUUSD (Gold) using the 15-minute timeframe. It combines trend direction, support/resistance pivots, liquidity sweep detection, and momentum confirmation to identify high-probability reversal setups in line with the dominant market trend.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Trend Filter (EMA 200):
The strategy only takes long positions when price is above the 200 EMA and short positions when price is below it.
Support/Resistance via Pivots:
Dynamic swing highs and lows are identified using pivot points. These act as local supply and demand levels where liquidity is likely to accumulate.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs when price briefly breaks below the last pivot low (grabbing liquidity) and then closes back above it.
A bearish sweep occurs when price breaks above the last pivot high and then closes back below.
Momentum & Candle Strength:
The strategy filters signals based on candle range and body size to ensure entries occur during strong price reactions, not weak retracements.
Risk Management (1:2 RR):
Stop-loss is placed slightly beyond the last pivot level using ATR-based buffers, and take-profit is set at 2× the risk distance, maintaining a reward-to-risk ratio of 1:2.
💼 Trade Logic Summary:
Long Entry:
After a bullish liquidity sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (above EMA 200).
Short Entry:
After a bearish sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (below EMA 200).
Exit:
Automated via ATR-based Stop Loss and Take Profit targets.
📊 Customization Options:
Adjustable EMA length, pivot settings, ATR multipliers, and RR ratio.
Option to enable/disable trend filter.
Toggle display of S/R zones on chart.
🧠 Best Use:
Works best during London and New York sessions when Gold shows strong momentum.
Can be adapted for forex pairs and indices by tuning ATR and pivot parameters.
💻 RSI Dual-Band Reversal Strategy (Hacker Mode)This 💻 RSI Dual-Band Reversal Strategy (Hacker Mode) is a mean-reversion trading strategy built on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator.
It identifies potential trend reversals when price momentum reaches extreme overbought or oversold levels — then enters trades expecting the price to revert.
⚙️ Strategy Concept
The RSI measures market momentum on a scale of 0–100.
When RSI is too low, it signals an oversold market → potential buy.
When RSI is too high, it signals an overbought market → potential sell.
This strategy sets two reversal zones using dual RSI bands:
Zone RSI Range Meaning Action
Upper Band 80–90 Overbought Prepare to Sell
Lower Band 10–20 Oversold Prepare to Buy
🧩 Code Breakdown
1. Input Parameters
rsiLength = input.int(14)
upperBandHigh = input.float(90.0)
upperBandLow = input.float(80.0)
lowerBandLow = input.float(10.0)
lowerBandHigh = input.float(20.0)
You can adjust:
RSI Length (default 14) → sensitivity of the RSI.
Upper/Lower Bands → control when buy/sell triggers occur.
2. RSI Calculation
rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)
Calculates the RSI of the closing price over 14 periods.
3. Signal Logic
buySignal = ta.crossover(rsi, lowerBandHigh)
sellSignal = ta.crossunder(rsi, upperBandLow)
Buy Signal: RSI crosses up through 20 → market rebounding from oversold.
Sell Signal: RSI crosses down through 80 → market turning from overbought.
4. Plotting

No explicit stop loss or take profit — positions reverse when an opposite signal appears.
🧠 How It Works (Step-by-Step Example)
RSI drops below 20 → oversold → buy signal triggers.
RSI rises toward 80 → overbought → sell signal triggers.
Strategy flips position, always staying in the market (either long or short).

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. The indicator displays in a separate pane (MACD) and overlay (signals/volume bars)
3. Default settings work well for most assets, but can be customized
### Signal Interpretation

## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
