Universal Valuation | QuantMAC🎯 Universal Valuation | QuantMAC
🚀 Professional-Grade Valuation Engine with 14+ Technical Components
The Universal Valuation indicator is a sophisticated composite analysis tool that combines multiple technical indicators, statistical measures, and risk ratios to provide a comprehensive assessment of asset valuation across all market conditions and timeframes.
📊 Core Architecture & Methodology
🔬 Z-Score Normalization System
Each component is normalized using statistical Z-scores, which measure how many standard deviations a value is from its historical mean. This standardization allows different indicators to be combined meaningfully:
Positive Z-scores indicate values above historical average (potentially overvalued)
Negative Z-scores indicate values below historical average (potentially undervalued)
Individual lookback periods for each component ensure optimal sensitivity
Real-time statistical calculations with dynamic standard deviation adjustments

atr stop loss for double SMA v6Strategy Name
atr stop loss for double SMA v6
Credit: This v6 update is based on Daveatt’s “BEST ATR Stop Multiple Strategy.”
Core Logic
Entry: Go long when the 15-period SMA crosses above the 45-period SMA; go short on the inverse cross.
Stop-Loss: On entry, compute ATR(14)×2.0 and set a fixed stop at entry ± that amount. Stop remains static until hit.
Trend Tracking: Uses barssince() to ensure only one active long or short position; stop is only active while that trend persists.
Visualization
Plots fast/slow SMA lines in teal/orange.
On each entry bar, displays a label showing “ATR value” and “ATR×multiple” positioned at the 30-bar low (long) or high (short).
Draws an “×” at the stop-price level in green (long) or red (short) while the position is open.
Execution Settings
Initial Capital: $100 000, Size = 100 shares per trade.
Commission: 0.075% per trade.
Pyramiding: 1.
Calculations: Only on bar close (no intra-bar ticks).
Usage Notes
Static ATR stop adapts to volatility but does not trail.
Ideal for trending, liquid markets (stocks, futures, FX).
Adjust SMA lengths or ATR multiple for faster/slower signals.
Directional Strength IndexThis indicator is designed to detect the dominant market direction and quantify its strength by aggregating signals across six key timeframes: 1H, 4H, 1D, 3D, 1W, and 1M.
At its core, it uses a SMEMA 'the Simple Moving Average of an EMA' as the main trend reference. This hybrid smoothing method was chosen for its balance: the EMA ensures responsiveness to recent price moves, while the SMA dampens short-term volatility. This makes the SMEMA more stable than a raw EMA and more reactive than a simple SMA, especially in noisy or volatile environments.
For each timeframe, a score between -10 and +10 is calculated. This score reflects:
- the distance of the price from the SMEMA, using ATR as a dynamic threshold
- the number of price deviations above or below the SMEMA
- the slope of the SMEMA, which adjusts the score based on momentum
These six timeframe scores are then combined into a single Global Score, using weighted averages. Three weighting profiles are available depending on your trading horizon:
- Long Term: emphasizes weekly and monthly data
- Swing Trading: gives balanced importance to all timeframes
- Short Term: prioritizes 1H and 4H action
This multi-timeframe aggregation makes the indicator adaptable to different styles while maintaining a consistent logic.
The result is displayed in a table on the chart, showing:
- the trend direction per timeframe (up, down or neutral)
- the strength score per timeframe
- the overall trend direction and strength based on the selected profile
Optional deviation bands based on ATR multiples are also plotted to provide visual context for overextensions relative to the SMEMA.
This indicator is non-repainting and built for objective, trend-based decision making.
Treasury 5HTreasury 5H Indicator Description for TradingView
Uncover Market Signals with Integrated and Exclusive Analysis
Introducing the Treasury 5H, an advanced and highly customizable technical analysis tool for traders seeking a deeper, more integrated view of the market. This robust indicator has been meticulously developed to combine the strength of established technical indicators with the intelligence of two proprietary and exclusive components: the Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation. The result is a powerful system that delivers buy and sell signals based on the confluence of multiple analyses, providing a unique perspective not found in other available tools.
A Symphony of Technical Indicators
The Treasury 5H harmonizes different analytical approaches to capture various facets of price movement. It incorporates classic indicators like the DMI (Directional Movement Index), ideal for identifying trend direction and strength, allowing you to filter out noise and focus on more significant movements. Alongside the DMI, the indicator utilizes the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), a versatile momentum oscillator that helps detect changes in the strength, direction, and duration of a trend. Complementing the trend and momentum analysis, a configurable Moving Average (SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) provides a dynamic baseline to assess the current price position, helping to confirm the prevailing market direction.
The Exclusive Advantage: Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation
The true differentiator of the Treasury 5H lies in its exclusive components, developed in-house and unavailable on any other platform. The Treasury Oscillator is an innovation that allows you to compare the normalized performance of the main asset you are analyzing with up to three other assets of your choice, such as treasury bonds (Treasuries), currencies, or other relevant indices. By calculating a standard deviation score for each asset relative to its averages, the oscillator identifies performance divergences and convergences, offering valuable insights into relative strength and potential inflection points that isolated indicators might miss.
Additionally, the Multi-Asset Correlation indicator offers another layer of exclusive intermarket analysis. It calculates and compares the normalized percentage change of the main asset with up to three other user-selected assets over a defined period. This performance correlation analysis helps understand how the main asset is moving relative to other correlated (or uncorrelated) markets or instruments, providing crucial context about capital flow and overall market sentiment. The combination of these two proprietary indicators offers unprecedented analytical depth.
Unmatched Flexibility and Customization
We understand that every trader and every asset is unique. Therefore, the Treasury 5H was designed with an exceptional level of flexibility. You have full control to individually enable or disable each of the five components (DMI, MACD, Moving Average, Treasury Oscillator, Multi-Asset Correlation), allowing you to tailor the analysis to your specific preferences and strategies. Furthermore, all parameters are adjustable, from the calculation periods of each indicator (DMI, MACD, MAs, Oscillator and Correlation Periods) to reference levels (like the minimum ADX level) and the symbols of the assets to be compared in the proprietary modules. This fine-tuning capability ensures the indicator can be optimized for different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
To further refine your strategy and increase signal precision, the Treasury 5H includes a powerful configurable trading session filter. This feature allows you to define up to three specific time periods during the day when the indicator's signals will be completely inactive. Use this strategic tool to avoid receiving signals and trading during hours known for low liquidity, unwanted excessive volatility, or simply outside your preferred operating window, ensuring you only act when market conditions are more favorable to your approach. Visual settings are also customizable, allowing you to adjust the colors for buy and sell signals, the transparency of the bar coloring, and the option to show or hide the Moving Average on the chart.
Clear and Integrated Signals
The Treasury 5H generates clear buy or sell signals when all selected and active indicators point in the same direction, ensuring a confluence-based approach for greater robustness. If the time filter is active, signals will only be generated during permitted operating periods. The signal state is visually represented by bar coloring: one color for the initial entry candle (buy or sell), a lighter shade for signal continuation, and optionally, a neutral color for periods defined as inactive. To facilitate monitoring, the indicator includes configurable alerts for new signal entries and when an existing signal is invalidated. Additionally, an information table in the corner of the chart displays the current status (buy, sell, or neutral) of each individual component and the final integrated signal, offering full transparency into the indicator's logic.
Acquire Your Competitive Edge
The Treasury 5H is not just another indicator; it's a comprehensive analysis system that integrates standard tools with exclusive, proprietary intermarket analyses. Its high degree of customization allows it to be adapted to virtually any trading style and asset. By incorporating the Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation, you gain insights simply unavailable in other tools. Elevate your technical analysis and make more informed trading decisions with the Treasury 5H.
How to Use the Treasury 5H Indicator
The Treasury 5H is designed as a powerful tool to complement and confirm your own market analysis, not as a standalone trading system. The key to extracting maximum value from this indicator lies in its intelligent integration with your personal analytical approach, whether focused on technical, fundamental, macroeconomic aspects, or a combination thereof.
The recommended workflow begins with your in-depth analysis of the asset and market context. Identify potential opportunities, support and resistance levels, trends, and relevant patterns based on your preferred methods. Once you have a clear view and a trade hypothesis, patiently wait for the Treasury 5H to generate a buy or sell signal that aligns with and corroborates your analysis. Always remember: the indicator provides a possible entry signal based on the confluence of active components, but the final decision to execute the trade must always be yours, validated by your own market reading.
When a signal is generated, it is visually highlighted by the bar's color (blue for buy, red for sell, by default). This first opaque colored bar indicates the initial moment of signal confluence. Subsequent bars, with the same color but more transparent, signal that the conditions that generated the initial signal still persist, and the asset is theoretically continuing in the indicated direction. However, how you act after the signal depends on your strategy. Many traders prefer not to enter immediately on the first signal bar but rather wait for additional confirmation, such as a pullback towards the signal bar or a clear breakout above the high (for buys) or below the low (for sells) of that bar. Test and adapt your entry strategy to find what works best for you in conjunction with the Treasury 5H signals.
Interpolated Median Volatility LSMA | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing traditional LSMA with percentile-based linear interpolation applied to both the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) and standard deviation. Rather than relying on raw values, it uses the interpolated median (50th percentile) to smooth out noise while preserving sensitivity to significant price shifts. This approach produces a cleaner trend signal that remains responsive to real market changes, adapts to evolving volatility conditions, and improves the accuracy of breakout detection.
Core Concept
The indicator builds on these core components:
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average): A linear regression-based moving average that fits line using user selected source over user defined period. It offers a smoother and more reactive trend signal compared to standard moving averages.
Standard Deviation shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: Instead of traditional Bollinger-style bands, this script calculates custom upper and lower bands using percentile-based linear interpolation on both the LSMA and standard deviation. This method produces smoother bands that filter out noise while remaining adaptive to meaningful price movements, making them more aligned with real market behavior and helping reduce false signals.
Percentile interpolation estimates a specific percentile (like the median — the 50th percentile) from a set of values — even when that percentile doesn't fall exactly on one data point. Instead of selecting a single nearest value, it calculates a smoothed value between nearby points. In this script, it’s used to find the median of past LSMA and standard deviation values, reducing the impact of outliers and smoothing the trend and volatility signals for more robust results.
Signal Logic: A long signal is identified when close price goes above the upper band, and a short signal when close price goes below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs
Source: The price source used in calculations
LSMA Length: Period for calculating LSMA
Standard Deviation Length: Period for calculating volatility
Percentile Length: Period used for interpolating percentile values of LSMA and standard deviation

Bar Coloring: Price bars are colored to reflect signal state (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Optional Candlestick Overlay: Enhances visual context by coloring candles to match the signal state (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and look for signals when close price goes above or below the bands.
Long Signal: close Price goes above the upper band
Short Signal: close Price goes below the lower band
🔔 Alerts:
This script supports alert conditions for long and short signals. You can set alerts based on band crossovers to be notified of potential entries/exits.

ALMA Parameter Control
ALMA Length (Default: 42) - Controls the lookback period for the moving average calculation. Lower values (20-30) create faster, more responsive signals but increase noise. Higher values (50-100) produce smoother signals with less false alerts but slower reaction to price changes.
ALMA Offset (Default: 0.68) - Determines the phase shift of the moving average. Values closer to 0 behave like a simple moving average. Values closer to 1 act more like an exponential moving average. 0.68 provides optimal balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
ALMA Sigma (Default: 1.8) - Controls the smoothness factor of the ALMA calculation. Lower values (1.0-2.0) create sharper, more reactive averages. Higher values (4.0-8.0) produce extremely smooth but slower-responding averages. Affects how quickly the ALMA adapts to price changes.
Source Selection - Choose between Close, Open, High, Low, or custom price combinations. Close price is standard for most analysis. HL2 or HLC3 can provide different market perspectives and reduce single-price volatility.
Oscillator Fine-tuning
Standard Deviation Length (Default: 27) - Determines the lookback period for volatility calculation. Shorter periods (10-20) make bands more reactive to recent volatility changes. Longer periods (40-60) create more stable bands that filter out short-term volatility spikes.
SD Multiplier (Default: 2.8) - Controls the width of the dynamic bands. Lower values (1.5-2.0) create tighter bands with more frequent signals but higher false signal rate. Higher values (3.0-4.0) produce wider bands with fewer but potentially more reliable signals.
Oscillator Multiplier (Default: 100) - Scales the oscillator for visual clarity. This is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect signal generation. Adjust based on your preferred oscillator range visualization.
Long Threshold (Default: 82) - Sets the level where bullish signals trigger. Lower values (70-80) generate more frequent long signals but may include weaker setups. Higher values (85-95) create fewer but potentially stronger bullish signals.
Short Threshold (Default: 50) - Determines where bearish signals activate. Higher values (55-65) produce more short signals. Lower values (35-45) wait for stronger bearish conditions before signaling.
Trading Mode Configuration
Long/Short Mode - Full bidirectional trading that takes both long and short positions. Suitable for trending markets and experienced traders comfortable with short selling.
Long/Cash Mode - Conservative approach that only takes long positions or moves to cash during bearish signals. Ideal for bull market conditions or traders who prefer not to short.
Display Customization
Color Schemes (9 Options) - Choose from Classic to Classic9 palettes. Each offers different visual contrast for various chart backgrounds and personal preferences.
Metrics Table Position - Place performance metrics in any of 6 chart locations: Top Left/Right, Middle Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right.
Show/Hide Metrics Table - Toggle the comprehensive performance analytics display on or off based on your analysis needs.
Date Range Limiter - Set specific start dates for backtesting and signal generation. Useful for testing strategies on specific market periods or excluding unusual market events.
Parameter Optimization Tips
Volatile Markets - Use shorter ALMA Length (25-35), lower SD Multiplier (2.0-2.5), and moderate thresholds
Trending Markets - Employ longer ALMA Length (45-60), higher SD Multiplier (3.0-4.0), and extreme thresholds
Sideways Markets - Try medium ALMA Length (35-45), standard SD Multiplier (2.5-3.0), and closer thresholds (75/55)
Higher Timeframes - Generally use longer periods and higher multipliers for smoother signals
Lower Timeframes - Opt for shorter periods and lower multipliers for more responsive signals

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
Past Performance Warning: 📉⚠️
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Historical backtesting results, while useful for strategy development and parameter optimization, do not guarantee similar performance in live trading conditions. Market conditions change continuously, and what worked in the past may not work in the future.
Remember: Successful trading requires discipline, continuous learning, and adaptation to changing market conditions. No indicator or strategy guarantees profits, and all trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Pin Bar Reversal StrategyStrategy: Pin Bar Reversal with Trend Filter
One effective high-probability setup is a Pin Bar reversal in the direction of the larger trend. A pin bar is a candlestick with a tiny body and a long wick, signaling a sharp rejection of price
By itself, a pin bar often marks a potential reversal, but not all pin bars lead to profitable moves. To boost reliability, this strategy trades pin bars only when they align with the prevailing trend – for example, taking a bullish pin bar while the market is in an uptrend, or a bearish pin bar in a downtrend. The trend bias can be determined by a long-term moving average or higher timeframe analysis.
Why it works: In an uptrend, a bullish pin bar after a pullback often indicates that sellers tried to push price down but failed, and buyers are resuming control. Filtering for pin bars near key support or moving averages further improves odds of success. This aligns the entry with both a strong price pattern and the dominant market direction, yielding a higher win rate. The pin bar’s own structure provides natural levels for stop and target placement, keeping risk management straightforward.
Example Setup:
USDCHF - 4 Hour Chart
Trend SMA 12
Max Body - 34
Min Wick - 66
ATR -15
ATR Stop Loss Multiplier - 2.3
ATR Take Profit Multiplier - 2.9
Minimum ATR to Enter - 0.0025

DTMA (Double Triangular Moving Average)English Description:
DTMA (Double Triangular Moving Average) is a smoothed moving average indicator that applies a triangular moving average (TMA) twice to reduce lag and provide a more stable trend line. The formula used is:
DTMA = 2 * TMA(src, period) - TMA(TMA(src, period), period)
This implementation focuses on the core calculation and plotting of the DTMA line, omitting visual styling features like bar coloring or trend direction. It's useful for traders looking for a smoother alternative to standard moving averages when identifying trends.
Trend Scanner ProTrend Scanner Pro, Robust Trend Direction and Strength Estimator
Trend Scanner Pro is designed to evaluate the current market trend with maximum robustness, providing both direction and strength based on statistically reliable data.
This indicator builds upon the core logic of a previous script I developed, called Best SMA Finder. While the original script focused on identifying the most profitable SMA length based on backtested trade performance, Trend Scanner Pro takes that foundation further to serve a different purpose: analyzing and quantifying the actual trend state in real time.
It begins by testing hundreds of SMA lengths, from 10 to 1000 periods. Each one is scored using a custom robustness formula that combines profit factor, number of trades, and win rate. Only SMAs with a sufficient number of trades are retained, ensuring statistical validity and avoiding curve fitting.
The SMA with the highest robustness score is selected as the dynamic reference point. The script then calculates how far the price deviates from it using rolling standard deviation, assigning a trend strength score from -5 (strong bearish) to +5 (strong bullish), with 0 as neutral.
Two detection modes are available:
Slope mode, based on SMA slope reversals
Bias mode, based on directional shifts relative to deviation zones
Optional features:
Deviation bands for visual structure
Candle coloring to reflect trend strength
Compact table showing real-time trend status
This tool is intended for traders who want an adaptive, objective, and statistically grounded assessment of market trend conditions.

5EMA_BB_ScalpingWhat?
In this forum we have earlier published a public scanner called 5EMA BollingerBand Nifty Stock Scanner , which is getting appreciated by the community. That works on top-40 stocks of NSE as a scanner.
Whereas this time, we have come up with the similar concept as a stand-alone indicator which can be applied for any chart, for any timeframe to reap the benifit of reversal trading.
How it works?
This is essentially a reversal/divergence trading strategy, based on a widely used strategy of Power-of-Stocks 5EMA.
To know the divergence from 5-EMA we just check if the high of the candle (on closing) is below the 5-EMA. Then we check if the closing is inside the Bollinger Band (BB). That's a Buy signal. SL: low of the candle, T: middle and higher BB.
Just opposite for selling. 5-EMA low should be above 5-EMA and closing should be inside BB (lesser than BB higher level). That's a Sell signal. SL: high of the candle, T: middle and lower BB.
Along with we compare the current bar's volume with the last-20 bar VWMA (volume weighted moving average) to determine if the volume is high or low.
Present bar's volume is compared with the previous bar's volume to know if it's rising or falling.
VWAP is also determined using `ta.vwap` built-in support of TradingView.
The Bolling Band width is also notified, along with whether it is rising or falling (comparing with previous candle).
What's special?
We love this reversal trading, as it offers many benifits over trend following strategies:
Risk to Reward (RR) is superior.
It _Does Hit_ stop losses, but the stop losses are tiny.
Means, althrough the Profit Factor looks Nahh , however due to superior RR, end of day it ended up in green.
When the day is sideways, it's difficult to trade in trending strategies. This sort of volatility, reversal strategies works better.
It's always tempting to go agaist the wind. Whole world is in Put/PE and you went opposite and enter a Call/CE. And turns out profitable! That's an amazing feeling, as a trader :)
How to trade using this?

* Apply this screener from Indicators (shortcut to launch indicators is just type / in your keyboard).
* It will show you the Green up arrow when buy alert comes or red down arrow when sell comes. * Also on the top right it will show the latest signal with entry, SL and target.

Brian Shannon 5-Day MA BackgroundBrian Shannon 5-Day Moving Average with Dynamic Background Fill
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Brian Shannon's renowned 5-Day Moving Average methodology from his acclaimed work "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes." The indicator provides instant visual clarity on short-term trend direction and momentum, making it an essential tool for swing traders and active investors.
KEY FEATURES
• True 5-Day Moving Average: Dynamically calculates the correct period across all timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, 1H, etc.)
• Visual Price-to-MA Relationship: Color-coded fill between price and the moving average
- Green Fill: Price is above the 5-day MA (bullish short-term momentum)
- Red Fill: Price is below the 5-day MA (bearish short-term momentum)
• Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works seamlessly on any chart timeframe while maintaining the true 5-day calculation
BRIAN SHANNON'S STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Primary Uses:
1. Trend Identification: Quickly identify short-term momentum shifts
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance: The 5-day MA acts as a moving support level in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
3. Entry Signal Confirmation: Look for pullbacks to the 5-day MA as potential entry points in trending stocks
4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Essential component of Shannon's multiple timeframe approach
Perfect Combination with:
• AVWAP (Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price): Use together to identify high-probability setups where price is above both the 5-day MA and AVWAP
• Longer-term Moving Averages: Combine with 20-day and 50-day MAs for complete trend analysis
• Volume Analysis: Confirm 5-day MA signals with volume patterns
TRADING APPLICATIONS
For Swing Traders:
• Bullish Setup: Price above 5-day MA + above AVWAP + above longer-term MAs = Strong uptrend
• Bearish Setup: Price below 5-day MA + below AVWAP + below longer-term MAs = Strong downtrend
• Entry Timing: Use pullbacks to the 5-day MA as entry opportunities in the direction of the primary trend
For Day Traders:
• Quick visual confirmation of intraday momentum
• Dynamic support/resistance levels for scalping opportunities
• Clear trend bias for directional trades
WHY THIS INDICATOR WORKS
Brian Shannon's approach emphasizes that the 5-day moving average represents the short-term sentiment of market participants. When price is consistently above this level, it indicates buyers are in control of short-term price action. Conversely, when price falls below, it suggests selling pressure is dominating.
The visual fill makes it immediately obvious:
• How far price is from the 5-day MA
• The strength of the current short-term trend
• Potential areas where price might find support or resistance
BEST PRACTICES
1. Never use in isolation - Always combine with longer timeframe analysis
2. Volume confirmation - Look for volume expansion on moves away from the 5-day MA
3. Multiple timeframe approach - Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction
4. Combine with AVWAP - Most powerful when both indicators align
INSTALLATION NOTES
This indicator automatically adjusts for any timeframe, ensuring you always get a true 5-trading-day moving average regardless of whether you're viewing 1-minute or hourly charts.
Based on the technical analysis methodology of Brian Shannon, author of "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes"
AutoFib Breakout Strategy for Uptrend AssetsThis trading strategy is designed to help you catch powerful upward moves on assets that are in a long-term uptrend, such as Gold (XAUUSD). It uses a popular technical tool called the Fibonacci Extension, combined with a trend filter and a risk-managed exit system.
✅ When to Use This Strategy
• Works best on higher timeframes: Daily (1D), 3-Day (3D), or Weekly (W).
• Best used on uptrending assets like Gold.
• Designed for swing trading – holding trades from a few days to weeks.
📊 How It Works
1. Find the Trend
We only want to trade in the direction of the trend.
• The strategy uses the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to identify if the market is in an uptrend.
• If the price is above the 200 EMA, we consider it an uptrend and allow long trades.
2. Identify Breakout Levels
• The strategy detects recent high and low pivot points to draw Fibonacci extension levels.
• It focuses on the 1.618 Fibonacci level, which is often a target in strong trends.
• When the price breaks above this level in an uptrend, it signals a potential momentum breakout – a good time to buy.
3. Enter a Trade
• The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the price closes above the 1.618 Fibonacci level and the market is in an uptrend (above the 200 EMA).
4. Manage Risk Automatically
• The trade includes a stop-loss set to 1x the ATR (Average True Range) below the entry price – this protects against sudden drops.
• It sets a take-profit at 3x the ATR above the entry – aiming for higher rewards than risks.
⚠️ Important Notes
• 📈 Higher Timeframes Preferred: This strategy works best on Daily (D), 3-Day (3D), and Weekly (W) charts, especially on Gold (XAUUSD).
• 🧪 Not for Deep Backtesting: Due to the nature of how pivot points and Fib levels are calculated, this strategy may not perform well in backtesting simulations (because the historical calculations can shift). It is better used for live analysis and forward testing.
McGinley Dynamic debugged🔍 McGinley Dynamic Debugged (Adaptive Moving Average)
This indicator plots the McGinley Dynamic, a mathematically adaptive moving average designed to reduce lag and better track price action during both trends and consolidations.
✅ Key Features:
Adaptive smoothing: The McGinley Dynamic adjusts itself based on the speed of price changes.
Lag reduction: Compared to traditional moving averages like EMA or SMA, McGinley provides smoother yet responsive tracking.
Stability fix: This version includes a robust fix for rare recursive calculation issues, particularly on low-priced historical assets (e.g., Wipro pre-2000).
⚙️ What’s Different in This Debugged Version?
Implements manual clamping on the source / previous value ratio to prevent mathematical spikes that could cause flattening or distortion in the plotted line.
Ensures more stable behavior across all instruments and timeframes, especially those with historically low price points or volatile early data.
💡 Use Case:
Ideal for:
Trend confirmation
Entry filtering
Adaptive support/resistance visualization
Improving signal precision in low-volatility or high-noise environments
⚠️ Notes:
Works best when combined with volume filters or other trend indicators for validation.
This version is optimized for visual use—for signal generation, consider pairing it with additional logic or thresholds.
PRO Trading Averaging Beta(v1)Adaptive Position Scaling

Noise-filtered signals
Stronger trend alignment
Reduced false entries
Triple-Layer Entry Logic
Requires simultaneous confluence of:
Custom Bollinger Band penetration
RSI oversold filter (above critical threshold)
Golden cross confirmation (fast MA > slow MA)
Volatility assessment via ATR
Intelligent Exit System
Position closure triggers when either:
Fixed profit target (% of account) is reached
Technical boundary (upper Bollinger Band) is touched

(Max 6 levels configurable in strategy settings)
Custom Entry Variations
Alternative approach for swing captures:
// Enter only at 3rd averaging with 5% capital
if averaging_condition and strategy.opentrades == 2
strategy.entry("SwingEntry", strategy.long, qty=base_order_size*5)
Risk Management Protocol
No traditional stop-loss (replaced by averaging)
Break-even trigger: Manually move to breakeven at +0.5% profit
Max exposure: Capped at 6 averaging levels
Commissions: Pre-configured at 0.1% per trade
⚠️ Critical Risk Disclosures:
"Past Performance ≠ Future Results"
Historical optimization requires continuous forward testing ("Walk Forward" in TV).
Pyramiding Hazards
Exponential volume growth demands:
Minimum 20% free margin buffer
High liquidity instruments (spread < 0.5% of ATR)
Strict per-level risk calculation
Market Regime Dependence
Peak efficiency during:
Strong trends with 2-4% retracements
Assets with ATR > 1.5% of daily range
Avoid ranging/low-volatility conditions
💡 Pro Usage Recommendations:
Position Sizing Formula
For futures: Contracts = (Capital × Risk %) / (Entry Price × Point Value × Stop Distance)
Profit Protection
Close 50% position at 50% profit target, trail remainder
Event Safety
Disable averaging during:
High-impact news events
Exchange outages
Abnormal volume spikes

ESSENTIAL: This strategy demands strict discipline. Terminate averaging when price action deviates from expected patterns. Always maintain reserve capital exceeding maximum drawdown requirements. Regularly validate strategy performance against current market dynamics.
🔥 Уникальные особенности и ценность:
Адаптивное усреднение
Стратегия автоматически увеличивает позицию при движении против вас, используя экспоненциальное наращивание объема (1x, 2x, 4x и т.д.). Это снижает среднюю цену входа и ускоряет выход в прибыль при развороте.
Мультитаймфреймная фильтрация
Все индикаторы работают на старшем таймфрейме (120 минут), что:
Фильтрует рыночный шум
Обеспечивает более надежные сигналы
Синхронизируется с глобальным трендом
Комбинированный триггер входа
Для активации требуется одновременное выполнение 4 условий:
Пробитие кастомной полосы Боллинджера
Подтверждение тренда (быстрая MA > медленной MA)
Контроль перепроданности (RSI выше критического уровня)
Фильтр волатильности (ATR)
Двойной механизм выхода
Закрытие позиций происходит при:
Достижении целевого уровня прибыли (% от депозита)
Техническом сигнале (касание верхней полосы Боллинджера)
⚙️ Как работает стратегия:
graph TD
A --> B
B --> C{Первый вход: 1% депозита}
C --> D
D -->|Да| E
D -->|Нет| F
E --> G{Достигнут лимит усреднений?}
G -->|Нет| D
G -->|Да| H
F --> I
📊 Как пользоваться:
Стартовые настройки
Base Order Size: Стартовый объем = 1% депозита
(Пример: при $10 000 депозита = 0.01 контракта)
initial_capital: Укажите ваш реальный депозит
Правила пирамидинга
Объем наращивается по схеме:
Уровень 1: 1x (базовый объем)
Уровень 2: 2x
Уровень 3: 4x
Уровень 4: 8x
Уровень 5: 16x
Уровень 6: 32x
РЕКОМЕНДУЕТСЯ Максимум 6 уровней усреднения (настраивается в pyramiding)
Кастомизация входов
Пример модификации для агрессивной тактики:
// Вход только на 3-м усреднении с 5% депозита
if averaging_condition and strategy.opentrades == 2
strategy.entry("BuyAggressive", strategy.long, qty=base_order_size*5)
Можно поставить параметр пираммидинг 1 и получать больше сигналов на младших тайм фреймах
Управление рисками
Стоп-лосс: Не используется (заменен усреднением)
Перевод в безубыток: Активируйте вручную при +0.5%
Максимальная просадка: Рекомендуется Ограничивать 6 уровнями усреднения
Комиссии: Учтены (0.1% от объема сделки)
Критические предупреждения:
"Вчера ≠ Сегодня"
Стратегия оптимизирована под историческую волатильность. Регулярно тестируйте на новых данных (режим "Перед тест" в TV).
Опасность усреднения
Экспоненциальный рост объема требует:
Глубокого расчета риска на уровень
Минимум 20% свободного маржи
Ликвидный инструмент (спред < 0.5% от ATR)
Рыночные условия
Максимальная эффективность в:
Трендовых рынках с коррекциями 2-4%
Инструментах с ATR > дневного диапазона 1.5%
💡 Рекомендации по использованию:
Для фьючерсов: Рассчитайте контракты через (капитал * 0.01) / (цена * пункт_стоимости)
При 50% достижении цели прибыли - закройте 50% позиции
Отключайте усреднение при выходе макро-новостей

ВАЖНО: Эта стратегия требует дисциплины! Прекращайте усреднение при отклонении рынка от исторических паттернов. Всегда имейте резервный капитал для экстренных случаев.
QQQ Strategy v2 ESL | easy-peasy-x This is a strategy optimized for QQQ (and SPY) for the 1H timeframe. It significantly outperforms passive buy-and-hold approach. With settings adjustments, it can be used on various assets like stocks and cryptos and various timeframes, although the default out of the box settings favor QQQ 1H.
The strategy uses various triggers to take both long and short trades. These can be adjusted in settings. If you try a different asset, see what combination of triggers works best for you.
Some of the triggers employ LuxAlgo's Ultimate RSI - shoutout to him for great script, check it out here .
Other triggers are based on custom signed standard deviation - basically the idea is to trade Bollinger Bands expansions (long to the upside, short to the downside) and fade or stay out of contractions.
There are three key moving averages in the strategy - LONG MA, SHORT MA, BASIC MA. Long and Short MAs are guides to eyes on the chart and also act as possible trend filters (adjustable in settings). Basic MA acts as guide to eye and a possible trade trigger (adjustable in settings).
There are a few trend filters the strategy can use - moving average, signed standard deviation, ultimate RSI or none. The filters act as an additional condition on triggers, making the strategy take trades only if both triggers and trend filter allows. That way one can filter out trades with unfavorable risk/reward (for instance, don't long if price is under the MA200). Different trade filters can be used for long and short trades.
The strategy employs various stop loss types, the default of which is a trailing %-based stop loss type. ATR-based stop loss is also available. The default 1.5% trailing stop loss is suitable for leveraged trading.
Lastly, the strategy can trigger take profit orders if certain conditions are met, adjustable in settings. Also, it can hold onto winning trades and exit only after stop out (in which case, consecutive triggers to take other positions will be ignored until stop out).
Let me know if you like it and if you use it, what kind of tweaks would you like to see.
With kind regards,

🔍 How it works:
The strategy combines three key elements:
EMA 200 Trend Filter
Identifies the long-term trend:
Price above EMA200 → Bullish trend bias
Price below EMA200 → Bearish trend bias
The EMA line is color-coded:
🔵 Blue for bullish
🔴 Red for bearish
⚪ Gray for neutral/unclear
MACD Crossover

Bullish: MACD line crosses above signal line
Bearish: MACD line crosses below signal line
RSI Confirmation
Adds an extra layer of confirmation:
Bullish: RSI is above its signal line
Bearish: RSI is below its signal line
✅ Signal Logic:
BUY Signal appears when:
Price > EMA200
MACD crosses up
RSI > its signal line
SELL Signal appears when:
Price < EMA200
MACD crosses down
RSI < its signal line
Labels will appear on the chart to highlight these events.
🔔 Alerts:
The script includes alerts for both Buy and Sell conditions, so you can be notified in real-time when they occur.
