Pro BTB Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Back To Breakeven🔵 Introduction
The Pro BTB (Professional Back To Breakeven) strategy is one of the most advanced price action setups, designed and taught by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader and a well-known instructor of financial market analysis.
The main logic of this strategy is based on the natural behavior of the market :
Breakout of a key level: Price moves beyond an important support or resistance.
Retest / Back To Breakeven: Price returns to the broken level.
Continuation of the main trend: Entry at this point allows alignment with the dominant market direction.
To better understand Pro BTB, it is necessary to first know the concept of a Spike. A spike refers to a sudden and powerful movement of price in one direction, usually caused by heavy order flow. Such a move creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Because the market does not have enough time to distribute orders fairly, it leaves an Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of this process is the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) a gap between candles that shows trades were not distributed evenly. In simple terms: the spike is the cause, and Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
In practice, Pro BTB works effectively in both bullish and bearish structures. In a Bullish Setup, a bullish spike first breaks a resistance level. Then, when price returns to that same level, a safe and low-risk buying opportunity is created. Conversely, in a Bearish Setup, a bearish spike breaks a support level, and when price comes back to the broken level, it provides the best conditions for a short entry. These two examples illustrate how Pro BTB logic provides precise, low-risk entries in both directions of the market.
🔵 How to Use
The Pro BTB (Back To Breakeven) strategy allows traders to enter precisely after price returns to the breakout level; this way the entry aligns with the natural market flow while risk is minimized. In practice, this method is simple yet powerful: first, identify a valid breakout on a key level, then wait for price to return to that level, and finally, take the entry in the direction of the main trend.
🟣 Bullish Setup
When a bullish spike occurs and a key resistance is broken, price usually returns to the same level. This level, now acting as support, provides the best opportunity for a long entry. In this scenario, the stop-loss is placed behind the breakout candle or slightly below the broken level, and the take-profit target should be defined with at least a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. With strong momentum, higher targets can also be considered.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a bearish scenario, a bearish spike breaks a key support. After the breakout, price usually returns to the same level, which now acts as resistance. This creates the best conditions for a short entry. The stop-loss is placed behind the breakout candle or slightly above the broken level, while the take-profit target is set with a risk-to-reward ratio greater than 1:2.
🟣 General Rules of Pro BTB
To apply Pro BTB correctly, several key rules must be followed :
The breakout must be valid and occur on a key level.
Always wait for the retest; do not enter immediately after the breakout.
Entry should only happen when price touches the broken level and shows candlestick confirmation.
The stop-loss (SL) must be placed behind the breakout candle or the broken level.
The take-profit (TP) must always be at least twice the trade risk.
For higher reliability, the breakout should align with the trend on higher timeframes.
🟣 Six Entry Methods in Pro BTB
For greater flexibility, Pro BTB offers six standard entry methods :
Market Entry : Enter immediately at the breakout level.
Limit Order : Place a limit order on the breakout level.
Stop Order : Enter only after confirmation of continuation.
Confirmation Candle : Enter after a confirmation candle closes on the level.
Pattern Entry : Enter based on candlestick patterns such as Pin Bar or Engulfing.
Zone Entry : Enter from a zone instead of an exact point to account for market noise.

🔵 Conclusion
The Pro BTB (Back To Breakeven) strategy is a smart and structured entry method based on natural market behavior after a breakout and retest of the broken level. It helps traders avoid emotional, high-risk entries by waiting for market confirmation and entering precisely at a point that aligns with the main trend and sits closest to the key level.
The simplicity of its rules, flexibility in entry methods, and a risk-to-reward ratio above 2 have made Pro BTB one of the most popular tools among price action traders. Nevertheless, as with any strategy, it is recommended to practice it in demo accounts or through personal backtesting before applying it to real trading, in order to find the entry conditions that best suit your trading style.

SP2L Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Spike 2 Legs PA🔵 Introduction
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader, is a simple yet powerful price action setup developed to identify precise entry points following sharp market movements.
A Spike refers to a sudden and rapid move in the market, usually triggered by a heavy flow of orders in one direction. This sharp movement creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Since the market does not have time to trade evenly during such moves, it generates Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of a spike is usually the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a space between candles indicating that trades were not distributed fairly. In simple terms, the spike is the cause, while Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
🟣 How is a Spike formed?
Big Movement : A spike begins with a sharp and powerful move caused by heavy order flow in one direction.
Imbalance : This move disrupts the balance between buyers and sellers.
Inefficiency : Due to the speed of the move, the market fails to trade efficiently, leaving inefficiency on the chart.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) : The final outcome is a price gap between candles, highlighting unfair distribution of trades.
In SP2L, entries occur right after a spike. The entry logic is based on the structure of each candle’s Higher Lows (HLs) or Lower Highs (LHs).
When a spike occurs and candles consecutively form higher lows or lower highs :
In bullish conditions, each previous low becomes a potential Buy Entry.
In bearish conditions, each previous high becomes a potential Sell Entry.
🔵 How to Use
In the SP2L strategy, entries occur directly within the ongoing strong movement (the spike). A spike forms when heavy order flow pushes the market strongly in one direction, creating several large candles in sequence. This disrupts balance and leaves patterns such as Imbalance and FVG on the chart.
During such moves, the market does not necessarily retrace; instead, it continues strongly in the direction of the spike. The key principle in SP2L is that candles begin forming Higher Lows (HLs) in a bullish spike or Lower Highs (LHs) in a bearish spike. Each HL or LH acts as a potential entry level, but the actual entry only triggers once price returns to retest that level. This allows the trader to enter within a powerful wave while keeping stop-losses clear and risk controlled.
🟣 Bullish SP2L
When a bullish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Higher Lows. Each HL marks a potential entry. The entry is activated when price returns to that HL.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed below the candle where the spike originated, usually the lowest point before the sharp move.
Take-Profit (TP) : Defined based on classic risk-to-reward ratios, commonly TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2. Stronger trends may allow extended targets.
🟣 Bearish SP2L
When a bearish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Lower Highs. Each LH marks a potential sell entry. The entry is triggered when price returns to retest that LH.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed above the candle where the bearish spike started, usually the highest point before the sharp drop.
Take-Profit (TP) : Similar to bullish setups, typically TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2, with extended targets possible if bearish momentum continues.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Spike Filter | Movement

🔵 Conclusion
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, offers a simple yet effective framework for trading strong market flows. Built on the logic of spikes and candle structures (HLs and LHs), it identifies precise entry points directly within the main movement of the market, where risk is clear and reward is logical.
With transparent rules, defined stop-loss placement, and flexible risk management, SP2L proves especially effective in volatile markets such as forex, gold, and indices. Its simplicity makes it practical for both beginner traders and seasoned professionals.
In summary, SP2L helps traders avoid unnecessary complexity by focusing on spikes and consecutive HL/LH formations to capture accurate, low-risk entries.

Zentrading Trend FollowerOur Trend following indicator is designed to get you in every trend safely, but perhaps most importantly, keeps you out of bad trades.
It performs well on all assets as it captures trending moves.
It does not only provide you with buy or sell signals you have to react on quickly, rather, it shows you when a trade setup is active. In this way you can anticipate the break of the breakout level to enter the trade. A trailing stop loss is used to exit.
It will work on all timeframes, but as lower timeframes add more noise to the market there will naturally be more losing trades than on higher timeframes. We recommend using it on anywhere from the weekly down to 1 or 2 HR -0.44% timeframes.
It is very simple to use:
The shaded areas on the chart indicate that a trade setup has been detected: Green for bullish setups, red for bearish setups.
The blue dots are plotted as the breakout level, if the price breaks this level the trade is entered. (as you can see on the chart, they can sometimes move towards the price!)
Red crosses are plotted as your trailing stop loss, if price breaks the stop loss the trade is closed.
This is a subscription indicator, please pm for information on how to access.
Happy trading!
Mapping 9.1 / 9.2 / 9.3 (v2.1)Hi, This is my first pine script
It helps to map the first reference candles for the setups 9.1 9.2 and 9.1 from Larry Williams
Many thanks to Mr. Alexandre Fernandes Palex for the many public tutorials and videos about this setups.
You can find his very rich reference in his blog
Now, lets go to the mapping strategy.
1) At first, we test if the ema 9 is up or down
if it is Up the background is painted yellow and you can find the reference candles for the setups
if it is down the background is Gray and you can find the reference candles for the setups
2) Then we compare the close, highs and lows if the candle match some of the setup rules, and if match we plot a sign in the reference candle with the name of respective setup, now you can decide in the next candle if it is eligible for an entry SHORT/LONG position.
Please, few free to comment and tell me any inconsistency and possible upgrades...
Later as soon I’m get used withe pine script I will improve this script with more and more features
Best regards,
Alberto van Drunen
