Cryptogrithm's Secret Momentum and Volatility IndicatorThis indicator is hard-coded for Bitcoin, but you may try it on other asset classes/coins. I have not updated this indicator in over 3 years, but it seems to still work very well for Bitcoin.
This indicator is NOT for beginners and is directed towards intermediate/advanced traders with a sensibility to agree/disagree with what this indicator is signalling (common sense).
This indicator was developed back in 2018 and I has not been maintained since, which is the reason why I am releasing it. (It still works great though! At the time of this writing of May 2022).
How to use:
Terms:
PA (Price Action): Literally the candlestick formations on your chart (and the trend formation). If you don't know how to read and understand price action, I will make a fast-track video/guide on this later (but in the meanwhile, you need to begin by learning Order-Flow Analysis, please google it first before asking).
CG Level (Cryptogrithm Level/Yellow Line): PA level above = bullish, PA level below = bearish
CG Bands (Cryptogrithm Bands): This is similar to how bollingers work, you can use this the same was as bollinger bands. The only difference is that the CG bands are more strict with the upper and lower levels as it uses different calculations to hug the price tighter allowing it to be more reactive to drastic price changes (earlier signals for oversold/overbought).
CG Upper Band (Red Upper Line): Above this upper bound line means overbought.
CG Middle Band (Light Blue Line): If PA trades above this line, the current PA trend is bullish continuing in the uptrend. If PA trades below this line, the current PA trend is bearish continuing in the downtrend. This band should only be used for short-term trends.
CG Lower Band (Green Lower Line): Below this lower bound line means oversold.
What the CG Level (yellow line) tells you:
PA is trading above CG Level = Bullish
PA is trading below CG Level = Bearish
Distance between CG Level and price = Momentum
What this means is that the further away the price is from the CG Level, the greater the momentum of the current PA trend. An increasing gap between the CG Level and PA indicates the price's strength (momentum) towards the current upward/downward trend. Basically when the PA and CG Level diverge, it means that the momentum is increasing in the current trend and when they converge, the current trend is losing momentum and the direction of the PA trend may flip towards the other direction (momentum flip).
PA+CG Level Momentum:
To use the CG Level as a momentum indicator, you need to pay attention to how the price and the CG level are moving away/closer from each other:
PA + CG Level Diverges = Momentum Increasing
PA + CG Level Converges = Momentum Decreasing
Examples (kind of common sense, but just for clarity):
Case 1: Bullish Divergence (Bullish): The PA is ABOVE and trending AWAY above from the CG Level = very bullish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the upside and larger moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level)
Case 2: Bearish Convergence (Bearish): - The PA is ABOVE the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bearish, there is a possibility that the upward trend is ending. Look to start closing off long positions until case 1 (divergence) occurs again.
Case 3: Neutral - The PA is trading on the CG Level (no clear divergence or convergence between the PA and CG Level) = Indicates a back and forth (tug of war) between bears and bulls. Beware of choppy price patterns as the trend is undecisive until either supply/liquidity is dried out and a winner between bull/bear is chosen. This is a no trade zone, but do as you wish.
Case 4: Bearish Divergence (Bearish): The PA is BELOW and trending AWAY BELOW from the CG Level = very bearish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the downside and larger downward moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level).
Case 5: Bullish Convergence (Bullish): - The PA is BELOW the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bullish, there is a possibility that the downward trend is ending and a trend flip is occuring. Look to start closing off short positions until case 4 (divergence) occurs again.
CG Bands + CG Level: You can use the CG bands instead of the PA candles to get a cleaner interpretation of reading the momentum. I won't go into detail as this is pretty self-explanatory. It is the same explanation as PA+CG Level Momentum, but you are replacing the PA candles with the CG Bands for interpretation. So instead of the PA converging/diverging from the CG Level, the Upper and Lower Bound levels are converging/diverging from the CG level instead.
Convergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades inside the CG bands
Divergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades outside the CG bands
Bullish/Bearish depends on whether the CG Band is trading below or above the CG level. If CG Band is above the CG Level, this is bullish. If CG Band is below the CG level, this is bearish.
Crosses (PA or CG Band crosses with CG level): This typically indicates volatility is incoming.
There are MANY MANY MANY other ways to use this indicator that is not explained here and even other undiscovered methods. Use some common sense as to how this indicator works (it is a momentum indicator and volatility predictor). You can get pretty creative and apply your own methods / knowledge to it and look for patterns that occur. Feel free to comment and share what you came up with!
Trend
ScalpiusTrendCrypto trader and trading system developer Scott Phillips recently introduced a crypto trading system that specifies a set of rules for determining whether the crypto is in a trend. While the rules are not overly complex, they are complex enough that manual trend determination is somewhat laborious and prone to error. The ScalpiusTrend script is designed to automate this process. It operates is briefly summarized as follows:
1. It looks for a bar that breaks the Bollinger Band. That starts a pending trend.
2. When we find another bar with a higher high and higher close (uptrend) or lower low and lower close (downtrend), then the trend is confirmed.
3. The trend ends when the price touches the opposite Bollinger Band, or goes 20 bars without making a new low and new close.
The indicator is shown as a histogram plot below the main chart window. By default, the short black pending trend bars are off, but you can enable the Pending Bars checkbox in the indicator Settings menu to turn them on.
Market Bias (CEREBR)Hello Everyone. I hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since I posted my first script here, and I got a lot of response from that.
So, I thought I should share this script also to everyone, and anyone that may find it useful. Personally, I use it to tell the general market conditions.
Here's how I works : The script tries to determine the overall direction of the market, using smoothed Heiken Ashi candles. The coloring system (using bright and dark colors) is an attempt to detect strong market and weak market conditions. There's also an oscillator within the script, but for now it isn't plotted. Credits to @jackvmk, I used part of his open-script code in this indicator.\
I have considered using the slope of the indicator plot as a filter for ranging market conditions. The plot goes relatively flat in 'flat' markets. However, I have not done anything about that yet. Maybe some other time.
I hope you find this useful. If you find a way to use this, please share it with the community in the comment section.
NOTE: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINANCIAL ADVICE. You'll have to make your studies and come up with a way to apply this indicator to your trading style and strategy.
By the way, I would be going with the name 'CEREBR' for any subsequent scripts I release from now on.
Happy Trading, guys.
BTC WaveTrend R:R=1:1.5In this strategy, I used Wavetrend indicator (Lazy Bear).
It is very simple and easy to understanding: Long when Wavetrend1 crossover Wavetrend2 and they are less than a limit value (not buy when price overbought). Stoploss at lowest 3 bar previous. R:R = 1:1,5.

EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.

Multiple Indicator 50EMA Cross AlertsHere’s a screener including Symbol, Price, TSI, and 50 ema cross in a table output.
The 50 Exponential Moving Average is a trend indicator
You can find bullish momentum when the 50 ema crossed over or a bearish momentum when the 50 ema crossed under we are looking to take advantage by trading the reversion of these trends.
True strength index (TSI) is a trend momentum indicator
Readings are bullish when the True Strength Index shows positive values
Readings are bearish when the indicator displays negative values.
When a value is above 20, we look for selling overbought opportunity and when the value is under 20, we look for buying oversold opportunity.
You can select the pair of your choice in the settings.
Make sure to create an alert and choose any alerts then an alert will trigger when a price cross under or cross over the 50 ema for every pair separately.
This allow the user to verify if there is a trade set up or not.

Oversold RSI with Tight Stop-Loss Strategy (by Coinrule)KRAKEN:LINKUSD
This is one of the best strategies that can be used to get familiar with technical indicators and start to include them in your rules on Coinrule .
ENTRY
1. This trading system uses the RSI (Relative Strength Index) to anticipate good points to enter positions. RSI is a technical indicator frequently used in trading. It works by measuring the speed and change of price movements to determine whether a coin is oversold (indicating a good entry point) or overbought (indicating a point of exit/entry for a short position). The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is traditionally considered overbought when over 70 and oversold when below 30.
2. To pick the right moment to buy, the strategy enters a trade when the RSI falls below 30 indicating the coin is oversold and primed for a trend reversal.
EXIT
The strategy then exits the position when the price appreciates 7% from the point of entry. The position also maintains a tight stop-loss and closes the position if the price depreciates 1% from the entry price. The idea behind this is to cut your losing trades fast and let your winners ride.
The best time frame for this strategy based on our back testing data is the daily. Shorter time frames can also work well on certain coins, however in our experience, the daily works best. Feel free to experiment with this script and test it on a variety of your coins! With our back testing data a trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. In the example shown, this strategy made a handsome net profit of 52.6% on Chainlink with 66.67% of trades being profitable.
You can execute this strategy on your favorite exchanges with Coinrule .
Daily Scalping Moving AveragesThis is a technical analysis study based on the most fit leading indicators for short timeframes like EMA and SMA.
At the same time we have daily channel made from the last 2 weeks of ATR values, which will give us the daily top and bottom expected values(with 80%+ confidence)
We have 3 groups of lengths for short length, medium length and a bigger length.
At the same time we combine it with the daily vwap values .
In the end we are going to have a total of 7 indicators telling us the direction.
The way we can use it :
The max ratings that we can have are +7 for long and -7 for short
In general once we have at least 5 indicators(fast and medium ones) giving us a direction, there is a high chance that we can scalp that trend and then we can exit either when we will be at +7 or close to neutral point
At the same time is very important to be aware of the current position inside of the TOP/BOTTOM channel that we have.
For example lets assume we are at 40k on BTC and our top channel is around 41-42k while the bottom is around 38k. In this case the margin that we have for long is much smaller than for short, so we should be prepared to exit once we reach the top values and from there wait and see if there is a huge continuation or a reversal. If the top channel was hit and the market started the rebounce going downwards and the moving averages confirms it, then we have a huge advantage using the top points as a STOP LOSS and continue the short movements, giving us an amazing risk/reward ratio .
If you have any questions let me know !
Volume OximeterOVERVIEW
The Volume Oximeter (VOXI) is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volume currently present in the market, relative to the historical volume that was present before. The purpose of this indicator is to filter out with-trend signals during ranging/non-trending conditions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assumes that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volume, compared to during periods of low volume. This is because high volume indicates that there are bigger players currently in the market, which is necessary to begin a sustained trending move.
So, to determine whether the current volume is "high", it is compared to an average volume for however number of candles back the user specifies.
If the current volume is greater than the average volume, it is reasonable to assume we are in a high volume period. Thus, this is the ideal time to enter a trending trade due to the assumption that trends are more likely to start during these high volume periods.
The default values in the indicator are designed for use on the daily chart but can be applied to any timeframe.
The default volume lookback period is 259 since there are usually 259 daily candles in a year on Forex daily charts. This means that the average volume will represent the average volume over the past year. This would be 365 on Crypto daily charts, since the Crypto is open 24/7 instead of 24/5). This is what the current volume will be compared to.
The default smoothing lookback period is 10, but this can be adjusted depending on the indicator that's giving you your with-trend signals. After my backtesting, 10 was the best value for my with-trend indicator, so you should do your own testing to see which value works best with your with-trend indicator.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR?
If the VOXI line is above or equal to zero (indicated by the blue color), the current volume is greater than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to take with-trend signals since high volume is necessary for sustained trending moves to begin.
If the VOXI line is below zero (indicated by the red color), the current volume is less than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to ignore with-trend signals since an absence of volume indicates that there aren't big market participants to participate in a new trending move.
Viral Force IndexBased on the Elder Force Index (EFI) indicator, the Viral Force Index (VFI) attempts to normalize the original indicator by plotting EFI on the interval ]-100, 100 [.
VFI comes with a bar coloring feature, allowing users to get an idea of the current value of the indicator without having to look away from the chart.
Additionally, the linear regression line provides a simple way to filter out the noise with little to no additional 'lag'.

Heikin-Ashi Trend AlertThis script:
Adds a Heikin-Ashi line to the chart (EMA-based).
Provides alerts triggered when the color goes from green to red and vice versa.
Just add the indicator to the chart, create an alert and select " Heikin-Ashi Trend Alert " from the dropdown. Profit.
Fractal Dimension Index The Fractal Dimension Index is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volatility currently present in the market.
The theory behind this indicator is that a value of 1.5 suggests the market is acting in a completely random fashion. As the market deviates from 1.5, the opportunity for earning profits is increased in proportion to the amount of deviation.
Keep in mind that the indicator does not show the direction of trends ! Although you can try to test it as a trend-following indicator that gives trend-following signals, that isn't the intended use of the indicator.
The Fractal Dimension Index is red when the market is in a trend. And it is blue when there is high volatility. When the Fractal Dimension Index changes its color from red to blue , it means that a trend is finishing. The market becomes erratic and high in volatility when the Fractal Dimension Index is blue . Usually, these "blue periods" do not go on for a long time, they come before a new trend.
So, look for trend-following signals while the Fractal Dimension Index is blue since this indicates high volatility before a potential trend, and avoid trend-following signals when the Fractal Dimension Index is red since this indicates a ranging/non-trending market or a trend that started long ago.
Fibonacci Progression with Breaks [LuxAlgo]This indicator highlights points where price significantly deviates from a central level. This deviation distance is determined by a user-set value or using a multiple of a period 200 Atr and is multiplied by successive values of the Fibonacci sequence.
Settings
Method: Distance method, options include "Manual" or "Atr"
Size: Distance in points if the selected method is "Manual" or Atr multiplier if the selected method is "Atr"
Sequence Length: Determines the maximum number of significant deviations allowed.
Usage
The indicator allows highlighting potential reversal points, but it can also determine trends using the central level, with an uptrend detected if the central level is higher than its previous value and vice versa for a downtrend.
When an uptrend is detected, and the price deviates significantly upward from it a first checkmark will be highlighted alongside the Fibonacci sequence used as a multiplier, if the price deviates downward, a cross will be shown instead, then the distance threshold will be multiplied by the next value in the Fibonacci sequence.
If the price deviates from the central level such that the length of the sequence is greater than the user set Sequence Length , a break label will be shown alongside a new central level with a value determined by the current closing price, while the Fibonacci multiplier will be reset to 1.
Upper and lower extremities made from the central level and threshold distance are highlighted and can be used as support and resistances.
Small short for CryptoThis is the third modification of VuMAnChu cipher B indicator designed only for short sales.
The trigger signal is called sommi bearish diamond (according to my due diligence it has the best performance)
You can either fix a stop loss value or close position after crossing sma line.
Take profit also can be tuned.
Keep in mind that short positions are very risky, so deposit your money to the market only after your research. I guess this indicator has potential for repainting, so track backtests/forward tests carefully. The script is for entertainment purposes only.
Good luck and have fun!
RSI Wave SignalsQuick Description: Smoothed RSI with optimized trailing moving average. Look for cross above or cross under signals for buy and sell orders respectively.
VIDYA moving average of RSI incorporated with "optimized trend tracker" system. Thanks to kivancozbilgic and anilozeksi for implementing this great idea on Tradingview. The indicator adds "1,000" to the RSI MA values for more natural and accurate percentage trailing.
Settings:
- Period MA is the moving average length of the blue line
- Trailing Percentage of MA adjusts the percentage (sort of) trailing level of the moving average.
- RSI Length adjusts the rsi length in calculation.
Trading Tips:
- System might be enhanced by taking signals only on "oversold" or "overbought" territories (i.e <~1020 or >~1080)
- Adjust position size of by 4 times of atr(length=14)
- Take 50% of position as profit when position reaches the 4*atr TP Level (breakeven)
- Let the rest ride.
- Best performing on short frequencies such as 1, 3, 5 mins.
K's Reversal Indicator IK's reversal indicator I is a special combination between Bollinger bands and the MACD oscillator. It is a contrarian indicator that depends on the following conditions:
• A buy signal is generated whenever the current market price is below the 100-period lower Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be above its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be below its previous signal line.
• A sell (short) signal is generated whenever the current market price is above the 100-period upper Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be below its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be above its previous signal line.
The way to use K's reversal indicator is to combine it with your already long/short bias in a sideways/range market in order to maximize the probability of success.
Limitations of the indicator include the following:
• There are no clear exit rules that work well on average across the markets. Even though K’s reversal indicator gives contrarian signals, it does not show when to exit the positions.
• As with other indicators, it underperforms on some markets and is not to be used everywhere.
• False signals tend to occur during trending markets but there is no proven way to detect a false signal.
Trending Bollinger Bands by SiddWolfBollinger Bands are mostly used for trend reversal. I believe they should be used for Trend Continuation and Trend Confirmation.
In this Trending Bollinger Bands script you will see two bands drawn on chart. The Upper band is suggestive of Uptrend and Lower Band is suggestive of Downtrend Market. It just provides the guidance of where the market is now and where it is headed. It is not to be used as a standalone indicator. Use this to confirm your hypothesis of Uptrend or Downtrend.
Bollinger Bands Trend
When the price crosses the moving average it is interpreted as the price is gonna continue in that direction. But most of the time it is a fake breakout. With this script you get an additional confirmation so that you know it is not a fake breakout and the price have caught the trend.
Bollinger Bands Reversal:
This indicator can also work for reversal. For example when price closes outside the outer bands, it is most likely that the trend is gonna reverse. Don't just enter the trade wait for some other confirmation as reversal trading is more complicated.
Confluence:
Confluence is the key factor for profitable trading. Don't use this indicator as standalone indicator instead combine it with other indicators and price action. Like the divergence occurring when the price is outside the bands is suggestive of trend reversal. I have created a non-delay, non-repaint indicator for finding divergence. I'd soon publish that script. Stay tuned.
Settings is the Key:
Try to play around with the settings. It is a simple yet effective indicator. Change the moving average type or length. I've found moving average RMA or WMA works better than SMA. Find the best setting that works with your setup. Set the Band Source as High/Low to make the outer bands more extreme.
Conclusion:
This is my first script but it isn't my last. I've created quite a few gems that I'm gonna publish soon. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.
Trend Day IndentificationVolatility is cyclical, after a large move up or down the market typically "ranges" during the next session. Directional order flow that enters the market during this subsequent session tends not to persist, this non-persistency of transactions leads to a non-trend day which is when I trade intraday reversionary strategies.
This script finds trend days in BTC with the purpose of:
1) counting trend day frequency
2) predicting range contraction for the next 1-2 days so I can run intraday reversion strategies
Trend down is defined as daily bar opening within X% of high and closing within X% of low
Trend up is defined as daily bar opening within X% of low and closing within X% of high
default parameters are:
1) open range extreme = 15% (open is within 15% of high or low)
2) close range extreme = 15% (close is within 15% of high or low)
There is also an atr filter that checks that the trend day has a larger range than the previous 4 bars this is to make sure we find true range expansion vs recent ranges.
Notes:
If a trend day occurs after a prolonged sideways contraction it can signal a breakout - this is less common but is an exception to the rule. These types of occurrences can lead to the persistency of order flow and result in extended directional daily runs.
If a trend day occurs close to 20 days high or low (stopping just short OR pushing slightly through) then wait an additional day before trading intraday reversion strategies.
Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,
// Terms \\
Feel free to use the script, If you do use the script could you please just tag me as I am interested to see how people are using it. Good Luck!
TICK Scalping strategy, SPY 1 min1 min chart scalping version of my other TICK strategy with adjusted parameters and additional entry and exit conditions better suited for 1 min SPY chart. Please refer to my original TICK strategy for explanation.
Important notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping on the 1 min chart . All profit shown in back testing report is based on Profit/Loss (P/L) estimates from trading options with approximately 6 weeks of data. By default, it is set to 10 option contracts. By default the initial capital is set to $5000. Pyramiding is set to 3.
2. This strategy works better with non-extended market data .
3. This strategy is mainly developed for SPY trading on 1 min chart, it probably will not be very profitable with other tickers or time frame without tweaking all the parameters first.
Cheers and enjoy~! Let's all make money~!!

How it works:
When trading the indices, many rely on the TICK for market directions. This strategy is a trend following strategy that uses a combination of conditions using the following indicators:
- TICK
- RSI
- VIX volatility index
- EMA
For entries, the conditions are:
1. TICK moving average crossover with a delayed signal line
2. Bullish or bearish RSI signal, RSI > 50 for bullish, < 50 for bearish
3. VIX must be above a certain threshold to take advantage of high market volatility
4. Price must be on top of EMA line for long, and below for short
For exits, there are 3 scenarios:
1. Stop loss set by a percentage of the daily ATR value
2. Trend changes on the TICK and the RSI
3. Bearish or bullish divergence on price with TICK
This strategy automatically signal to close all trades at 3:50 pm EST at the end of the day.
