USDJPY MA Zone Entry Strategy USD/JPY tested only.A consistent strategy that gives me alerts each time my conditions are met. I am a funded prop firm trader. this strategy gives 45-70% annual returns. the sequence for this strategy is: After 4 stop loss hits, place a trade on the NEXT ENTRY ALERT ONCE: (-.188) pips draw back towards the stop loss. (this turns the Strat from 1-3 RISK/REWARD to 1-7+ RISK/REWARD). keep the Stop Loss the same (-.300) away from your entry. Take Profit placed at (+1.488) from entry. if 3 losses in a row happens AFTER you've followed these instructions, don't trade again UNTIL the strategy has a TAKE PROFIT gain, then the sequence starts over again. that is this strategies losing streak. after that streak is over. the strategy will be back to give you profits.

Fincandle ATR Direction TrackerOverview
The Fincandle ATR Direction Tracker is a strategy designed to capture momentum moves in the market using a dynamic ATR-based trailing stop. It identifies strong momentum candles and filters signals using trend alignment with moving averages.
Partial exits allow users to take a portion of profit at a predefined ATR multiple while keeping the remaining position open until the opposite signal occurs.
How It Works
Momentum Detection:
Measures candle body size relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
A candle is considered momentum if its body size exceeds ATR × Multiplier.
Trend Filter:
Uses two moving averages (Fast MA and Slow MA) to determine the market trend.
Bullish trend: Fast MA > Slow MA → long trades allowed
Bearish trend: Fast MA < Slow MA → short trades allowed
Trend filter can be toggled on or off.
ATR Trailing Stop:
A dynamic trailing stop adapts to price volatility.
Crossing above the trail triggers a buy signal, crossing below triggers a sell signal.
Partial Exit / Take Profit:
Step 1: Exit 50% of the position when price moves a configurable multiple of ATR in your favor.
Step 2: Close the remaining position when the opposite signal occurs (e.g., price crosses below/above the ATR trail).
How to Use
Add the strategy to any chart (stocks, indices, forex, crypto).
Configure ATR period, sensitivity, take profit multiple, and moving average lengths to suit the timeframe and asset.
Monitor buy/sell markers and dynamic ATR trail on the chart.
Optional: Set alerts for real-time notifications when signals trigger.
Adjust partial exit multiplier to control risk/reward.
Example Settings
ATR Period: 10
ATR Sensitivity: 3 × ATR
Take Profit: 2 × ATR
Fast MA: 50
Slow MA: 200
Partial Exit: 50% of position at take profit, remaining exits on opposite signal
Key Features
Adaptive ATR trailing stop for volatility-based entries/exits.
Trend alignment filter with Fast/Slow MA.
Partial exit logic for better risk management.
Visual BUY/SELL markers and alerts.
Fully Pine Script v6 compatible.

TEMA 20/34/55 Strategie mit Buy & SellThis indicator uses three Triple Exponential Moving Averages (TEMA) with periods 20 (green), 34 (blue), and 55 (red) to identify trend direction.
A buy signal is generated when TEMA20 crosses above TEMA34 and TEMA34 crosses above TEMA55 (bullish trend start).
A sell signal is generated when TEMA20 crosses below TEMA34 and TEMA34 crosses below TEMA55 (bearish trend start).
The strategy enters long and short positions with configurable stop loss and take profit levels.
Ideal for trend following and suitable for intraday or swing trading.
D Money – EMA/TEMA Touch Strategy (Distance) What it’s trying to capture
You want mean-reversion “tags” back to a moving average after price has stretched away and momentum flips:
Bearish setup (short): price has been above EMA(9) for a few bars, then MACD turns bearish, and price is far enough above the EMA (by an adaptive threshold). Exit when price tags the EMA.
Bullish setup (long): price has been below your chosen TEMA rail (actually an EMA of 50/100/200 you pick) for a few bars, then MACD turns bullish, and price is far enough below that TEMA. Exit when price tags that TEMA.
The moving averages it uses
EMA(9) — your fast “tag” for short take-profits.
“TEMA line” input = one of EMA(50) / EMA(100) / EMA(200). (Labelled “Chosen TEMA” in the plot; it’s an EMA rail you pick.)
When it will enter trades
It requires four things per side:
Short (EMA-Touch Short)
MACD bearish cross on the signal bar
If “Require NO MA touch on cross bar” = true, the bar’s low must be above EMA(9), so it didn’t touch EMA on the cross bar (fake-out guard).
Extension/Context: you’ve had at least barsAbove consecutive closes above EMA(9) (default 3), so it’s truly stretched.
Distance test: absolute % distance from price to EMA(9) must be ≥ minDistEMA_eff (an adaptive threshold; details below).
Bounce filter: there was no bullish bounce off the EMA in the last bounceLookback bars (excluding the current one).
If all pass and you’re inside the backtest window → strategy.entry short.
Long (TEMA-Touch Long)
MACD bullish cross on the signal bar
With the same fake-out guard: the bar’s high must be below the chosen TEMA if the guard is on.
Extension/Context: at least barsAbove consecutive closes below the chosen TEMA.
Distance test: absolute % distance from price to TEMA must be ≥ minDistTEMA_eff (adaptive).
Bounce filter: there was no bearish bounce off the TEMA in the last bounceLookback bars.
If all pass and you’re in the window → strategy.entry long.
MACD timing option:
If Pure MACD Timing = ON, it only checks for the cross.
If OFF (default), it also enforces “no touch on the cross bar” if that checkbox is true. That’s your “fake-out” filter.
The adaptive distance threshold (the “secret sauce”)
You can choose how “far enough away” is determined—per side:
Fixed %
Short uses Fixed: Min distance ABOVE EMA (%)
Long uses Fixed: Min distance BELOW TEMA (%)
Auto (ATR%) (default)
Short threshold = max(floorEMA, kAtrShort × ATR%)
Long threshold = max(floorTEMA, kAtrLong × ATR%)
This scales distance by recent volatility, with a floor.
Auto (AvgDist%)
Short threshold = max(floorEMA, kAvgShort × average(|Dist to EMA|) over avgLen)
Long threshold = max(floorTEMA, kAvgLong × average(|Dist to TEMA|) over avgLen)
This adapts to the instrument’s typical stretch away from the rails.
These become minDistEMA_eff and minDistTEMA_eff and are re-computed each bar.
Fake-out / bounce logic (the “don’t get tricked” part)
A touch means the bar’s high/low overlapped the MA ± a small buffer % (touchBufPct).
A bounce is a touch plus a close on the “wrong” side (e.g., touch EMA and close above it on shorts = bullish bounce).
The script blocks entries if a bounce happened within bounceLookback bars (excluding the current signal bar).
Exits & risk
Take profit: when price touches the target MA:
Short TP = touch EMA(9)
Long TP = touch chosen TEMA
Stop loss: either
ATR stop: entry ± (atrMultStop × ATR) (default ON), or
Percent stop: entry × (1±stopPct%)
Time stop: if timeExitBars > 0, close after that many bars if still open.
Quality-of-life features
Backtest window (btFrom, btTo) so you can limit evaluation.
Labels on signal bars that show:
MACD bucket (Small/Moderate/HUGE/Violent — based on % separation on the bar),
the current absolute distance to the target MA,
and the effective minimum the engine used (plus which engine mode).
Data Window fields so you can audit:
abs distance to EMA/TEMA,
the effective min distance used on each side,
ATR%,
average absolute distances (for the AvgDist mode).
Alerts fire when a short/long signal is confirmed.
Optional debug panel to see the exact booleans & thresholds the bar had.
Quick mental model
Are we properly stretched away from the rail (by an adaptive threshold) and held on that side for a few bars?
Did MACD flip the way we want without price already tagging the rail that bar?
Have we avoided recent bounces off that rail (no fake-out)?
→ If yes, enter and aim for a tag back to the rail, with ATR/% stop and optional time stop.
If you want, I can add a simple on-chart “rating” (0–100) similar to your Python scorer (distance beyond min, MACD bucket, extension streak) so you can visually rank signals in TradingView too.
Supertrend Strategy With Multi Tp & TslHello Traders,
This strategy is based on the popular Supertrend indicator, which many traders use as a simple trend-following tool. The core entry logic is straightforward:
Buy (Long) when the price closes above the Supertrend line.
Sell (Short) when the price closes below the Supertrend line.
However, trading success isn’t only about entries — proper risk management makes all the difference. That’s why this strategy includes four stop-loss methods, two take-profit types, and a trailing stop-loss system. You can customize all of these settings to create your own personalized version.
🛑 Stop-Loss Methods
Tick – Uses the instrument’s smallest price increment. Ideal for tick-based markets such as Futures or Forex.
Percent – Defines the stop-loss as a percentage of entry price. Commonly used in Crypto trading.
ATR – Uses the Average True Range value to determine stop-loss distance. Perfect for adapting to changing market volatility.
Supertrend – The stop-loss level is set at the Supertrend line value at the time of entry.
🔁 Trailing Stop-Loss & Reverse Signals
Trailing SL: If enabled, the chosen stop-loss method will trail the price dynamically from the moment the position opens.
Close with Reverse Signals: When activated, the current position closes and reverses on an opposite signal. If disabled, the strategy waits until the current position is closed before opening a new one.
🎯 Take-Profit Options
Tick – Set a fixed take-profit level based on tick distance.
Percent – Set take-profit based on a percentage change from entry.
Ratio – Sets take-profit based on the entry-to-stop-loss distance × ratio value.
Each take-profit method allows you to define the percentage of position to close at that level.
⚖️ Breakeven Option
When Breakeven is enabled, after the first take-profit is triggered, the stop-loss automatically moves to the entry level, protecting your capital.
⚙️ Additional Settings
Position Type: Choose between Long only, Short only, or Both directions.
Session Filter: Trade only during specific time ranges. Activate this option and set your desired session hours (make sure to select your correct timezone).
📈 Visuals
The strategy plots entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels directly on the chart, allowing you to clearly visualize your trades and manage them effectively.
Feel free to ask any questions or suggest improvements — this strategy is built for flexibility and experimentation!

AlgoWay GRSIM🧭 What this strategy tries to do
This strategy detects when a market move is losing strength and prepares for a potential reversal, but it waits for fresh momentum confirmation before acting.
It combines:
• RSI-based divergence (to spot exhaustion and potential turning points),
• Impulse MACD (to verify that the new direction actually has force behind it).
________________________________________
⚙️ When it takes trades
Long (Buy):
• A bullish RSI divergence appears (a clue that selling pressure is fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly positive;
• Optionally, the impulse line itself must be rising (if the Impulse Direction Filter is
enabled).
Short (Sell):
• A bearish RSI divergence appears (buying pressure fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly negative;
• Optionally, the impulse line must be falling (if the Impulse Direction Filter is enabled).
If momentum confirmation happens too late, the divergence “expires” and the signal is ignored.
________________________________________
🧩 How entries work
1. Reversal clue:
The strategy detects disagreement between price and RSI (price makes a new high/low, RSI doesn’t).
That suggests a shift in underlying strength.
2. Momentum confirmation:
Before entering, the Impulse MACD must agree — showing real push in the same direction.
3. Impulse direction filter (optional):
When enabled, the impulse itself must accelerate (rise for longs, fall for shorts), avoiding fake signals where price diverges but momentum is still fading.
4. No stacking:
It opens only one position at a time.
________________________________________
🚪 How exits work
Two main exit styles:
Conservative (default):
Longs close when impulse crosses below its signal line.
Shorts close when impulse crosses above its signal line.
✅ Keeps trades as long as momentum agrees.
Color-change (fast):
Longs close immediately when impulse flips bearish.
Shorts close immediately when impulse flips bullish.
⚡ Faster and more defensive.
Plus:
Stop Loss (%) and Take Profit (%) act as fixed-distance protective exits (set to 0 to disable either one).
________________________________________

Diamonds — detected bullish/bearish divergence points.
Circles — where impulse crosses its signal (momentum change).

________________________________________
🔧 What you can tune
Signal Lifetime (bars): how long a divergence remains valid.
Impulse Direction Filter: ensure the impulse itself is moving in the trade’s direction.
Stop Loss / Take Profit (%): risk and target in percent.
Exit Style: conservative cross or faster color-change.
RSI / MA / Signal Lengths: adjust responsiveness (defaults are balanced).
________________________________________
💪 Strengths
Confirms reversals using momentum direction, not just divergence.
Avoids “early” signals where momentum is still fading.
Works symmetrically for longs and shorts.
Built-in stop/target protection.
Clear, visual confirmation of all logic components.
________________________________________
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
In sideways markets, the impulse can flip often — prefer conservative exits.
Too small SL/TP → constant stop-outs.
Too wide SL/TP → deep drawdowns.
Always test with different timeframes and markets.
________________________________________
💡 Practical tips
Start with default settings.
Enable “Use Impulse Direction Filter” in trending markets, disable it in very choppy ones.
Focus on Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Max Drawdown after several dozen trades.
Keep SL/TP roughly aligned with typical swing size.
“AlgoWay GRSIM” is a reversal-with-confirmation strategy: it spots likely turns, demands real momentum alignment (optionally verified by impulse direction), and manages exits with clear momentum cues plus built-in protective limits.

Quantum Flux Universal Strategy Summary in one paragraph
Quantum Flux Universal is a regime switching strategy for stocks, ETFs, index futures, major FX pairs, and liquid crypto on intraday and swing timeframes. It helps you act only when the normalized core signal and its guide agree on direction. It is original because the engine fuses three adaptive drivers into the smoothing gains itself. Directional intensity is measured with binary entropy, path efficiency shapes trend quality, and a volatility squash preserves contrast. Add it to a clean chart, watch the polarity lane and background, and trade from positive or negative alignment. For conservative workflows use on bar close in the alert settings when you add alerts in a later version.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap equities and ETFs. Index futures. Major FX pairs. Liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. QQQ on one hour
• Purpose. Provide a robust and portable way to detect when momentum and confirmation align, while dampening chop and preserving turns
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The novelty sits in the gain map. Instead of gating separate indicators, the model mixes three drivers into the adaptive gains that power two one pole filters. Directional entropy measures how one sided recent movement has been. Kaufman style path efficiency scores how direct the path has been. A volatility squash stabilizes step size. The drivers are blended into the gains with visible inputs for strength, windows, and clamps.
• What failure mode it addresses. False starts in chop and whipsaw after fast spikes. Efficiency and the squash reduce over reaction in noise.
• Testability. Every component has an input. You can lengthen or shorten each window and change the normalization mode. The polarity plot and background provide a direct readout of state.
• Portable yardstick. The core is normalized with three options. Z score, percent rank mapped to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z score. Clamp bounds define the effective unit so context transfers across symbols.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy computes two smoothed tracks from the chart price source. The fast track and the slow track use gains that are not fixed. Each gain is modulated by three drivers. A driver for directional intensity, a driver for path efficiency, and a driver for volatility. The difference between the fast and the slow tracks forms the raw flux. A small phase assist reduces lag by subtracting a portion of the delayed value. The flux is then normalized. A guide line is an EMA of a small lead on the flux. When the flux and its guide are both above zero, the polarity is positive. When both are below zero, the polarity is negative. Polarity changes create the trade direction.
Base measures
• Return basis. The step is the change in the chosen price source. Its absolute value feeds the volatility estimate. Mean absolute step over the window gives a stable scale.
• Efficiency basis. The ratio of net move to the sum of absolute step over the window gives a value between zero and one. High values mean trend quality. Low values mean chop.
• Intensity basis. The fraction of up moves over the window plugs into binary entropy. Intensity is one minus entropy, which maps to zero in uncertainty and one in very one sided moves.
Components
• Directional Intensity. Measures how one sided recent bars have been. Smoothed with RMA. More intensity increases the gain and makes the fast and slow tracks react sooner.
• Path Efficiency. Measures the straightness of the price path. A gamma input shapes the curve so you can make trend quality count more or less. Higher efficiency lifts the gain in clean trends.
• Volatility Squash. Normalizes the absolute step with Z score then pushes it through an arctangent squash. This caps the effect of spikes so they do not dominate the response.
• Normalizer. Three modes. Z score for familiar units, percent rank for a robust monotone map to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z for outlier resistance.
• Guide Line. EMA of the flux with a small lead term that counteracts lag without heavy overshoot.
Fusion rule
• Weighted sum of the three drivers with fixed weights visible in the code comments. Intensity has fifty percent weight. Efficiency thirty percent. Volatility twenty percent.
• The blend power input scales the driver mix. Zero means fixed spans. One means full driver control.
• Minimum and maximum gain clamps bound the adaptive gain. This protects stability in quiet or violent regimes.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when flux and guide are both above zero. That sets polarity to plus one.
• Short suggestion appears when flux and guide are both below zero. That sets polarity to minus one.
• When polarity flips from plus to minus, the strategy closes any long and enters a short.
• When flux crosses above the guide, the strategy closes any short.
What you will see on the chart
• White polarity plot around the zero line
• A dotted reference line at zero named Zen
• Green background tint for positive polarity and red background tint for negative polarity
• Strategy long and short markers placed by the TradingView engine at entry and at close conditions
• No table in this version to keep the visual clean and portable
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Default ohlc4. Stable for noisy symbols.
• Fast span. Typical range 6 to 24. Raising it slows the fast track and can reduce churn. Lowering it makes entries more reactive.
• Slow span. Typical range 20 to 60. Raising it lengthens the baseline horizon. Lowering it brings the slow track closer to price.
Logic
• Guide span. Typical range 4 to 12. A small guide smooths without eating turns.
• Blend power. Typical range 0.25 to 0.85. Raising it lets the drivers modulate gains more. Lowering it pushes behavior toward fixed EMA style smoothing.
• Vol window. Typical range 20 to 80. Larger values calm the volatility driver. Smaller values adapt faster in intraday work.
• Efficiency window. Typical range 10 to 60. Larger values focus on smoother trends. Smaller values react faster but accept more noise.
• Efficiency gamma. Typical range 0.8 to 2.0. Above one increases contrast between clean trends and chop. Below one flattens the curve.
• Min alpha multiplier. Typical range 0.30 to 0.80. Lower values increase smoothing when the mix is weak.
• Max alpha multiplier. Typical range 1.2 to 3.0. Higher values shorten smoothing when the mix is strong.
• Normalization window. Typical range 100 to 300. Larger values reduce drift in the baseline.
• Normalization mode. Z score, percent rank, or MAD Z. Use MAD Z for outlier heavy symbols.
• Clamp level. Typical range 2.0 to 4.0. Lower clamps reduce the influence of extreme runs.
Filters
• Efficiency filter is implicit in the gain map. Raising efficiency gamma and the efficiency window increases the preference for clean trends.
• Micro versus macro relation is handled by the fast and slow spans. Increase separation for swing, reduce for scalping.
• Location filter is not included in v1.0. If you need distance gates from a reference such as VWAP or a moving mean, add them before publication of a new version.
Alerts
• This version does not include alertcondition lines to keep the core minimal. If you prefer alerts, add names Long Polarity Up, Short Polarity Down, Exit Short on Flux Cross Up in a later version and select on bar close for conservative workflows.

USDJPY Fair Value Gap + Session Strategy🎯 Overview
This strategy combines Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with session-based order flow analysis, specifically optimized for USDJPY. It identifies price inefficiencies left behind by institutional order flow during high-volatility trading sessions, offering a modern alternative to traditional lagging indicators.
🔬 What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps represent areas where aggressive institutional buying or selling created "gaps" in the market structure:
Bullish FVG: Price moves up so aggressively that it leaves unfilled buy orders behind
Bearish FVG: Price moves down so quickly that it leaves unfilled sell orders behind
Research shows approximately 80% of FVGs get "filled" (price returns to the gap) within 20-60 bars, making them highly predictable trading zones.
(see the generated image above)
(see the generated image above)
FVG Detection Logic:
text
// Bullish FVG: Gap between high and current low
bullishFVG = low > high and high > high
// Bearish FVG: Gap between low and current high
bearishFVG = high < low and low < low
🌏 Session-Based Trading
Why Sessions Matter for USDJPY
