Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range.
█ CONCEPTS
Correlation
Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series.
If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated .
Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks.
When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:
• Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.
• Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future.
Correlation coefficient
A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure.
The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows:
𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦)
Where:
• 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.
• cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
• 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.
• 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦.
In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:
• A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .
• A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.
• A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample.
Aligning returns across instruments
In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse.
However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open.
Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results.
To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments.
In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:
1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).
2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).
3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.
4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis.
It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session.
Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs.
█ FEATURES
This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features:
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display.
Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols.
Timeframe and data length selection
The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error.
To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations.
It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range.
Heatmap display
This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value.
Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself.
The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
• This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.
• The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences.
• A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.
• This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.
• The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors.

BB Breakout + Momentum Squeeze [Strategy]This Strategy is Based on 3 free indicators
- Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator: Link
- TTM Squeeze Pro: Link
- Rolling ATR Bands: Link
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator - This tool shows how strong a market trend is by measuring how often prices move outside their normal Bollinger bands range. It helps you see whether prices are strongly moving in one direction or just moving sideways. By looking at how much and how frequently prices push beyond their typical boundaries, you can identify which direction the market is heading over your selected time period.
TM Squeeze Pro - This is a custom version of the TTM Squeeze indicator.
It's designed to help traders spot consolidation phases in the market (when price is coiling or "squeezing") and to catch breakouts early when volatility returns. The logic is based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, combined with a momentum oscillator to show direction and strength.
Rolling ATR Bands - This indicator combines volatility bands (ATR) with momentum and trend signals to show where the market might be breaking out, retesting, or trending. It's highly visual and helpful for traders looking to time entries/exits during trending or volatile moves.
Logic Of the Strategy:
We are going to use the Bollinger Bands Breakout to determine the direction of the market. Than check the Volatility of the price by looking at the TTM Squeeze indicator. And use the ATR Bands to determine dynamic Stop Losses and based on the calculate the Take Profit targets and quantity for each position dynamically.
For the Long Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bull Power (Green line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
For the Short Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bear Power (Red line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
Stop Loss is determined by the Lower ATR Band (for the Long entry) and Upper ATR Band (For the Short entry)
Take Profit is 1:1.5 risk reward ration, which means if the Stop loss is 1% the TP target will be 1.5%
Move stop Loss to Breakeven: If the price will go in the direction of the trade for at least half of the Risk Reward target then the stop will automatically be adjusted to the entry price. For Example: the Stop Loss is 1%, the price has move at least 0.5% in the direction of your trade and that will move the Stop Loss level to the Entry point.
You can Adjust the parameters for each indicator used in that script and also adjust the Risk and Money management block to see how the PnL will change.
Live Risk/Reward Lines (Dynamic Update: Tick or Bar Close)This script displays dynamic Risk and Reward target lines directly on the chart.
You can choose whether the updates happen live with each price tick or only once a bar closes.
It supports both long and short trading directions, with customizable risk and reward percentages.
Key Features:
Dynamic live updates (per tick or per bar close).
Choose Long or Short trade direction.
Customize risk and reward percentages individually.
Adjustable line length and color.
Option to show or hide risk and reward lines.
How It Works:
For long trades: Risk = Close Price * (1 - Risk %), Reward = Close Price * (1 + Reward %).
For short trades: Risk = Close Price * (1 + Risk %), Reward = Close Price * (1 - Reward %).
Lines are automatically centered around the current bar.
Why It Is Unique:
Unlike static risk/reward indicators, this script allows traders to see real-time dynamic changes based on the latest tick or bar close.
It offers full flexibility for scalpers and swing traders by allowing manual control over update timing and visualization style.
Usage Instructions:
Select your trade direction (Long or Short) from the settings.
Set your preferred risk and reward percentages.
Choose whether lines should update with every tick or only on bar close.
Optionally adjust the length and colors of the lines.
Important:
The script focuses on visualizing risk and reward directly on the price chart without giving buy or sell signals.

Nasan Risk Score & Postion Size Estimator** THE RISK SCORE AND POSITION SIZE WILL ONLY BE CALCUTAED ON DIALY TIMEFRAME NOT IN OTHER TIMEFRAMES.
The typically accepted generic rule for risk management is not to risk more than 1% - 2 % of the capital in any given trade. It has its own basis however it does not take into account the stocks historic & current performance and does not consider the traders performance metrics (like win rate, profit ratio).
The Nasan Risk Score & Position size calculator takes into account all the listed parameters into account and estimates a Risk %. The position size is calculated using the estimated risk % , current ATR and a dynamically adjusted ATR multiple (ATR multiple is adjusted based on true range's volatility and stocks relative performance).
It follows a series of calculations:
Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score = (Min Risk)^a + b*
Min Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Max ATR%
Max Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Min ATR%
The min and max return is calculated based on stocks excess return in comparison to the Benchmark return and adjusted for volatility of the stock.
When a stock underperforms the benchmark, the default is, it does not calculate a position size , however if we opt it to calculate it will use 1% for Min Risk% and 2% for Max Risk% but all the other calculations and scaling remain the same.
Rationale:
Stocks outperforming their benchmark with lower volatility (ATR%) score higher.
A stock with high returns but excessive volatility gets penalized.
This ensures volatility-adjusted performance is emphasized rather than absolute returns.
Depending on the risk preference aggressive or conservative
Aggressive Risk Scaling: a = max (m, n) and b = min (m, n)
Conservative Scaling: a = min (m, n) and b = max (m, n)
where n = traders win % /100 and m = 1 - (1/ (1+ profit ratio))
A default of 50% is used for win factor and 1.5 for profit ratio.
Aggressive risk scaling increases exposure when the strategy's strongest factor is favorable.
Conservative risk scaling ensures more stable risk levels by focusing on the weaker factor.
The Unadjusted Nasan risk is score is further refined based on a tolerance factor which is based on the stocks maximum annual drawdown and the trader's maximum draw down tolerance.
Tolerance = /100
The correction factor (Tolerance) adjusts the risk score based on downside risk. Here's how it works conceptually:
The formula calculates how much the stock's actual drawdown exceeds your acceptable limit.
If stocks maximum Annual drawdown is smaller than Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown % , this results in a positive correction factor (indicating the drawdown is within your acceptable range and increases the unadjusted score.
If stocks maximum Annual drawdown exceeds Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown %, the correction factor will decrease (indicating that the downside risk is greater than what you are comfortable with, so it will adjust the risk exposure).
Once the Risk Score (numerically equal to Risk %) The position size is calculated based on the current market conditions.
Nasan Risk Score (Risk%) = Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score * Tolerance.
Position Size = (Capital * Risk% )/ ATR-Multiplier * ATR
The ATR Multiplier is dynamically adjusted based on the stocks recent relative performance and the variability of the true range itself. It would range between 1 - 3.5.
The multiplier widens when conditions are not favorable decreasing the position size and increases position size when conditions are favorable.
This Calculation /Estimate Does not give you a very different result than the arbitrary 1% - 2%. However it does fine tune the % based on sock performance, traders performance and tolerance level.
Stop/Take BoundsThe Stop/Take Bounds indicator is tool for setting dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on percentage distance from the price. Unlike traditional ATR-based methods, this indicator allows traders to set stop levels as a fixed percentage of the price and define the take-profit multiple.
- Stop-loss distanceis determined as a percentage of the current price (e.g., 1% means the stop-loss is always 1% away from the price).
- Take-profit distance is calculated by multiplying the stop-loss distance by a user-defined multiplier (e.g., a multiplier of 2 places the take-profit level twice as far as the stop-loss).
- The indicator plots red lines for stop-loss levels and green lines for take-profit levels, making it easy to visualize risk-to-reward scenarios.
How to Use
1. Set Stop-Loss Distance (%) – Define how far the stop-loss should be from the price.
2. Set Take-Profit Multiplier – Choose how many times larger the take-profit should be compared to the stop-loss.
3. Apply to Long and Short Trades – The indicator automatically plots levels for both long and short positions.
4. Use in Manual or Algorithmic Trading – Ideal for discretionary traders as well as for integration into algorithmic strategies.
Use Cases
- Risk Management – Helps maintain disciplined risk-to-reward ratios.
- Strategy Development – Can be used in the creation of algorithmic trading systems.
- Trailing Stop Simulation – Can act as a trailing stop mechanism when used dynamically.
This indicator is a great addition to any trading strategy!
Breakouts With Timefilter Strategy [LuciTech]This strategy captures breakout opportunities using pivot high/low breakouts while managing risk through dynamic stop-loss placement and position sizing. It includes a time filter to limit trades to specific sessions.
How It Works
A long trade is triggered when price closes above a pivot high, and a short trade when price closes below a pivot low.
Stop-loss can be set using ATR, prior candle high/low, or a fixed point value. Take-profit is based on a risk-reward multiplier.
Position size adjusts based on the percentage of equity risked.
Breakout signals are marked with triangles, and entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are plotted.
moving average filter: Bullish breakouts only trigger above the MA, bearish breakouts below.
The time filter shades the background during active trading hours.
Customization:
Adjustable pivot length for breakout sensitivity.
Risk settings: percentage risked, risk-reward ratio, and stop-loss type.
ATR settings: length, smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA).
Moving average filter (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) to confirm breakouts.
Price Action Trend and Margin EquityThe Price Action Trend and Margin Equity indicator is a multifunctional market analysis tool that combines elements of money management and price pattern analysis. The indicator helps traders identify key price action patterns and determine optimal entry, exit and stop loss levels based on the current trend.
The main components of the indicator:
Money Management:
Allows the trader to set risk management parameters such as the percentage of possible loss on the position, the use of fixed leverage and the total capital.
Calculates the required leverage level to achieve a specified percentage of loss.
Price Action:
Correctly identifies various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Engulfing Bar, PPR Bar and Inside Bar.
Displays these patterns on the chart with the ability to customize candle colors and display styles.
Allows the trader to customize take profit and stop loss points to display them on the chart.
The ability to display patterns only in the direction of the trend.
Trend: (some code taken from ChartPrime)
Uses a trend cloud to visualize the current market direction.
The trend cloud is displayed on the chart and helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Alert:
Allows you to set an alert that will be triggered when the pattern is formed.
Example of use:
Let's say a trader uses the indicator to trade the crypto market. He sets the money management parameters, setting the maximum loss per position to 5% and using a fixed leverage of 1:100. The indicator automatically calculates the required position size to meet these parameters ($: on the label). Or displays the leverage (X: on the label) to achieve the required risk.
The trader receives an alert when a Pin Bar is formed. The indicator displays the entry, exit, and stop loss levels based on this pattern. The trader opens a position for the recommended amount in the direction indicated by the indicator and sets the stop loss and take profit at the recommended levels.
General Settings:
Position Loss Percentage: Sets the maximum loss percentage you are willing to take on a single position.
Use Fixed Leverage: Enables or disables the use of fixed leverage.
Fixed Leverage: Sets the fixed leverage level.
Total Equity: Specifies the total equity you are using for trading. (Required for calculation when using fixed leverage)
Turn Patterns On/Off: You can turn on or off the display of various price patterns such as Pin Bar, Outside Bar (Engulfing), Inside Bar, and PPR Bar.
Pattern Colors: Sets the colors for displaying each pattern on the chart.
Candle Color: Allows you to set a neutral color for candles that do not match the price action.
Show Lines: Allows you to turn on or off the display of labels and lines.
Line Length: Sets the length of the stop, entry, and take profit lines.
Label color: One color for all labels (configured below) or the color of the labels in the color of the candle pattern.
Pin entry: Select the entry point for the pin bar: candle head, bar close, or 50% of the candle.
Coefficients for stop and take lines.
Use trend for price action: When enabled, will show price action signals only in the direction of the trend.
Display trend cloud: Enables or disables the display of the trend cloud.
Cloud calculation period: Sets the period for which the maximum and minimum values for the cloud are calculated. The longer the period, the smoother the cloud will be.
Cloud colors: Sets the colors for uptrends and downtrends, as well as the transparency of the cloud.
The logic of the indicator:
Pin Bar is a candle with a long upper or lower shadow and a short body.
Logic: If the length of one shadow is twice the body and the opposite shadow of the candle, it is considered a Pin Bar.
An Inside Bar is a candle that is completely engulfed by the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are inside the previous candle, it is an Inside Bar.
An Outside Bar or Engulfing is a candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Logic: If the high and low of the current candle are outside the previous candle and close outside the previous candle, it is an Outside Bar.
A PPR Bar is a candle that closes above or below the previous candle.
Logic: If the current candle closes above the high of the previous candle or below its low, it is a PPR Bar.
Stop Loss Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios. If set to 1.0, it shows the correct stop for the pattern by pushing away from the entry point.
Take Profit Levels: Calculated based on the specified ratios.
Create a Label: The label is created at the stop loss level and contains information about the potential leverage and loss.
The formula for calculating the $ value is:
=(Total Capital x (Maximum Loss Percentage on Position/100)) / (Difference between Entry Level and Stop Loss Level × Ratio that sets the stop loss level relative to the length of the candlestick shadow × Fixed Leverage Value) .
Labels contain the following information:
The percentage of price change from the recommended entry point to the stop loss level.
Required Leverage (X: ): The amount of leverage required to achieve the specified loss percentage. (Or a fixed value if selected).
Required Capital ($: ): The amount of capital required to open a position with the specified leverage and loss percentage (only displayed when using fixed leverage).
The trend cloud identifies the maximum and minimum price values for the specified period.
The cloud value is set depending on whether the current price is equal to the high or low values.
If the current closing price is equal to the high value, the cloud is set at the low value, and vice versa.

John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions. Enjoy a seamless blend of strategy and style—crafted with passion by Ayebale John Bob and his bestie!
Sharpe and Sortino Ratios with Date RangeThis indicator calculates the Sharpe and Sortino ratios using a chart symbol's periodic price returns.
I added the ability to calculate SORTINO and Sharpe based on CUSTOM DATES within the option menu.
It builds on the script here: by adding this feature.
A little about the Sortino Ratio.
www.nasdaq.com
I want equity market returns, but I don’t want equity market volatility. This is the sentiment many investors naturally feel. This sentiment often grows stronger as one approaches or is in the phase where they desire distributions from their savings to improve lifestyle. This is why there is a need for active management in the investment arena. The desire to control downside volatility, but also participate in the upside growth is a very fundamental human desire. The Sortino Ratio measures how well a particular investment meets this fundamental human desire.
There is the old adage, “volatility is the price you pay for returns.” However, what if we could measure the historical performance of an investment and see if it has given above average returns compared to the downside volatility. This is a simple division problem. It will tell us if the volatility “price we are paying for returns” is good. We can then compare that to other investments to see how they compare.
Let us take the return and subtract the risk-free interest rate and then simply divide that by the downside movement from the average. A basic division problem yielding a number that measures a very basic human desire: How well did this investment do compared to the downside risk it experienced.
In the world of financial analysis and investment management, ratios are abundant. There are many ratios that are truly important to a particular analysis. However, the sheer abundance of ratios that are available often overwhelms the casual investor, leading them to disregard ratios altogether. I would argue for those investors that desire a way to rank an investment by its ability to satisfy this very fundamental human desire, the Sortino Ratio is the number they need to consider.
Disappointing in the marketplace for research, the Sortino Ratio is not featured prominently. It is much easier to find the inflows a particular ETF has experienced than the Sortino Ratio. Inflows are important. They measure how much people are investing into an ETF. However, they are mostly only important to the fund manager, not the investor. What investors care about is the Risk-Adjusted Return. This is the Sortino Ratio.

BTC Slayer 9000 - Relative Risk-adjusted performanceBTC Slayer 9000: Relative Risk-Adjusted Performance
Dear friends and fellow traders,
I am pleased to introduce the BTC Slayer 9000, a script designed to provide clear insights into risk-adjusted performance relative to a benchmark. Whether you're navigating the volatile world of cryptocurrencies or exploring opportunities in stocks, this tool helps you make informed decisions by comparing assets against your chosen benchmark.
What Does It Do?
This indicator is based on the Ulcer Index (UI), a metric that measures downside risk. It calculates the Ulcer Performance Index (UPI), which combines returns and downside risk, and compares it to a benchmark (like BTC/USDT, SPY500, or any trading pair).
The result is the Relative UPI (RUPI):
Positive RUPI (green area): The asset's risk-adjusted performance is better than the benchmark.
Negative RUPI (red area): The asset's risk-adjusted performance is worse than the benchmark.
Why Use It?
Risk vs. Reward: See if the extra risk of an asset is justified by its returns.
Customizable Benchmark: Compare any asset against BTC, SPY500, or another chart.
Dynamic Insights: Quickly identify outperforming assets for long positions and underperformers for potential shorts.
How to Use:
Inputs:
Adjust the lookback period to set the time frame for analysis. 720 Period is meant to represent 30 days. I like to use 168 period because I do not hold trades for long.
Choose your comparison chart (e.g., BTC/USDT, SPY500, AAPL, etc.).
Interpretation:
Green Area Above 0: The asset offers better risk-adjusted returns than the benchmark.
Red Area Below 0: The benchmark is a safer or more rewarding option.
Perfect for All Traders
Whether you:
Trade Cryptocurrencies: Compare altcoins to BTC.
Invest in Stocks: Compare individual stocks to indices like SPY500.
Evaluate Portfolio Options: Decide between assets like AAPL or TSLA.
This indicator equips you with a systematic way to evaluate "Is the extra risk worth it?".
The script was compiled in Collaboration with ChatGPT
Tomas Ratio Strategy with Multi-Timeframe AnalysisHello,
I would like to present my new indicator I have compiled together inspired by Calmar Ratio which is a ratio that measures gains vs losers but with a little twist.
Basically the idea is that if HLC3 is above HLC3 (or previous one) it will count as a gain and it will calculate the percentage of winners in last 720 hourly bars and then apply 168 hour standard deviation to the weekly average daily gains.
The idea is that you're supposed to buy if the thick blue line goes up and not buy if it goes down (signalized by the signal line). I liked that idea a lot, but I wanted to add an option to fire open and close signals. I have also added a logic that it not open more trades in relation the purple line which shows confidence in buying.
As input I recommend only adjusting the amount of points required to fire a signal. Note that the lower amount you put, the more open trades it will allow (and vice versa)
Feel free to remove that limiter if you want to. It works without it as well, this script is meant for inexperienced eye.
I will also publish a indicator script with this limiter removed and alerts added for you to test this strategy if you so choose to.
Also, I have added that the trades will enter only if price is above 720 period EMA

Trailing Stop Loss Smart [TradingFinder] Market Trend + CVD/EMA🔵 Introduction
Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) is one of the most powerful tools available. A Trailing Stop Loss is a modification of a typical stop order that adjusts dynamically based on market price movement. It can be set at a defined percentage or dollar amount away from the security's current market price, making it a flexible tool for locking in profits while minimizing risk. Unlike standard stop-loss orders, a Trailing Stop follows the market in the direction of the trade, protecting gains without requiring constant manual adjustments.
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart (TFlab Trailing Stop) indicator takes this concept even further by incorporating advanced metrics like Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), volume dynamics, and Average True Range (ATR). This combination not only enhances risk management but also acts as a trend identifier, providing traders with a powerful tool to capitalize on both short-term and long-term price movements.
This indicator also supports various Order Types, allowing for flexible strategies that include a trailing stop/stop-loss combo to maximize winning trades while minimizing losses. The trailing stop limit is particularly useful for traders who want to set their stop at a precise level relative to the current market price, either by a percentage or a dollar amount. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator can help ensure that traders do not exit too early during trends, while the stop-loss feature kicks in during reversals.
The advantages of using a Trailing Stop Loss are its ability to protect profits and reduce the emotional decision-making process in volatile markets. However, like all trading strategies, it has disadvantages, such as the risk of triggering too early during normal market fluctuations. By understanding how the Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator integrates features like CVD, ATR, and volume analysis, traders can leverage its full potential while navigating these pros and cons.
With its unique ability to track market movements and trends using Cumulative Volume Delta, volume dynamics, and ATR-based trailing stops, this indicator offers a complete solution for traders looking to secure profits while minimizing downside risk. Whether you're employing a simple trailing stop or a trailing stop/stop-loss combo, this tool provides all the flexibility and precision needed to execute winning trades in various markets, including Forex, Crypto, and Stock.
🔵 How to Use
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator integrates multiple advanced components to provide traders with superior risk management and trend identification.
Here’s how each part of the logic works :
🟣 Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Logic
The CVD tracks buying and selling pressure by calculating the difference between upward and downward price movements. When there’s more buying pressure, the CVD is positive, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, more selling pressure results in a negative CVD, pointing to a bearish trend.
CVD Trend Detection : The indicator determines whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase by comparing the CVD to its moving average. A bullish trend is confirmed when the CVD is above its moving average and the price is closing higher.
A bearish trend occurs when the CVD is below its moving average and the price is closing lower. This trend detection is critical for determining whether the trailing stop should be placed below the price (bullish) or above it (bearish).
🟣 Volume Dynamics
Volume is a key factor in identifying market strength. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator pulls volume data based on the market selected (Forex, Crypto, or Stock) and adjusts the trailing stop based on whether the market is experiencing high volume or low volume.
High Volume : When the current volume exceeds the average volume, the market is in a high-volume state. During these conditions, the trailing stop is placed closer to the price, as high volume often indicates strong trends with less chance of reversals.
Low Volume : In low-volume conditions, the trailing stop gives the market more room to breathe by placing the stop further away from the price. This prevents premature stop-outs in periods of reduced market activity.
🟣 ATR-Based Trailing Stop
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility. The Trailing Stop Loss Smart uses the ATR to dynamically adjust the stop-loss distance.
Bullish Market : When a bullish trend is detected, the trailing stop is placed below the lowest price of the recent bars (determined by the Bar Back parameter), and adjusted by the ATR Multiplier. This allows for tighter protection during strong bullish trends.
Bearish Market : When the market is bearish, the trailing stop is placed above the highest price of recent bars, also adjusted by the ATR Multiplier. This ensures that short positions are safeguarded against sudden reversals.
🟣 Dynamic Stop-Loss Updates
The trailing stop is updated every few bars (according to the Refiner parameter), ensuring it remains relevant to the most recent price action and volume changes. This dynamic feature ensures the stop-loss adapts to both trending and volatile market conditions, without requiring manual intervention.
High Volume with Trends : In periods of high volume and a confirmed trend, the stop-loss is positioned tightly to lock in profits while minimizing the risk of reversal.
Low Volume with Trends : In low-volume conditions, the stop-loss is placed further from the price, allowing the market to move freely without triggering premature exits.
🟣 Visual Representation
The indicator visually represents the trailing stop on the chart, with green lines indicating bullish trends and red lines for bearish trends. This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the state of the market and the position of their trailing stop in real-time.
🔵 Settings
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator offers several customizable settings to suit various trading strategies. Understanding these inputs is key to optimizing the tool for your specific trading style.
🟣 General Settings
Cumulative Mode : This controls how the CVD is calculated.
You can choose between :
EMA : Exponential Moving Average smoothing.
Periodic : Sums the delta over a fixed period.
CVD Period : Defines the look-back period for CVD calculation. A longer period smooths the data, making it less sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
Ultra Data : This Boolean input aggregates volume across multiple exchanges for a more comprehensive view of market activity.
Market Ultra Data : Select between Forex, Crypto, and Stock to ensure the indicator pulls accurate volume data for your market.
🟣 Logical Settings
Moving Average CVD Period : Defines the period for the moving average of the CVD. A longer period smooths the trend, reducing noise.
Moving Average Volume Period : Sets the period for the moving average used to distinguish between high and low volume conditions.
Level Finder Bar Back : Determines how many bars to look back when identifying the highest or lowest price for trailing stop placement.
Levels update per candles : Sets how often (in bars) the trailing stop should be updated to remain in sync with market movements.
ATR On : Toggles the use of ATR to adjust the trailing stop based on volatility.
ATR Multiplie r: Defines how far the stop is placed from the price based on the ATR. A larger multiplier increases the stop distance, reducing the likelihood of getting stopped out during market fluctuations.
ATR Multiplier Adjusts the distance of the trailing stop based on the ATR. A higher multiplier places the stop further from the price, providing more breathing room in volatile markets.
🔵 Conclusion
The Trailing Stop Loss Smart indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders looking to manage risk while identifying market trends. By incorporating Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to detect buying and selling pressure, volume dynamics to gauge market activity, and ATR to adjust for volatility, this indicator ensures that stop-loss levels are both adaptive and protective.
Whether you’re trading in Forex, Crypto, or Stock markets, the Trailing Stop Loss Smart allows you to capitalize on trends while dynamically adjusting to changing market conditions. Its ability to distinguish between high-volume and low-volume periods ensures that you’re not stopped out prematurely during periods of consolidation or market hesitation.
By providing real-time visual feedback, dynamic adjustments, and trend identification, this indicator serves as a vital tool for traders aiming to maximize profits while minimizing risk. Its versatility and adaptability make it an essential part of any trader’s toolkit, helping you stay ahead in fast-moving markets while safeguarding your positions.

Asymmetric volatilityThe "Asymmetric Volatility" indicator is designed to visualize the differences in volatility between upward and downward price movements of a selected instrument. It operates on the principle of analyzing price movements over a specified time period, with particular focus on the symmetrical evaluation of both price rises and falls.
User Parameters:
- Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars (candles) used to calculate the average volatility. The larger the value, the longer the time period, and the smoother the volatility data will be.
- Source: This represents the input data for the indicator calculations. By default, the close value of each bar is used, but the user can choose another data source (such as open, high, low, or any custom value).
Operational Algorithm:
1. Movement Calculation:
- UpMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the current bar value and the previous bar value, if it is greater than zero.
- DownMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the previous bar value and the current bar value, if it is greater than zero.
2. Volatility Calculation:
- UpVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the UpMoves values over the specified period.
- DownVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the DownMoves values over the specified period.
3. Graphical Representation:
- The indicator displays two plots: upward and downward volatility, represented by green and red lines, respectively.
- The background color changes based on which volatility is dominant: a green background indicates that upward volatility prevails, while a red background indicates downward volatility.
The indicator allows traders to quickly assess in which direction the market is more volatile at the moment, which can be useful for making trading decisions and evaluating the current market situation.
Multi-Step Vegas SuperTrend - strategy [presentTrading]Long time no see! I am back : ) Please allow me to gain some warm-up.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Vegas SuperTrend Strategy" is an enhanced trading strategy that leverages both the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to generate buy and sell signals.
What sets this strategy apart from others is its dynamic adjustment to market volatility and its multi-step take profit mechanism. Unlike traditional single-step profit-taking approaches, this strategy allows traders to systematically scale out of positions at predefined profit levels, thereby optimizing their risk-reward ratio and maximizing potential gains.
BTCUSD 6hr performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The Vegas SuperTrend Strategy combines the strengths of the Vegas Channel and SuperTrend indicators to identify market trends and generate trade signals. The following subsections delve into the details of how each component works and how they are integrated.
🔶 Vegas Channel Calculation
The Vegas Channel is based on a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation (STD) of the closing prices over a specified period. The channel is defined by upper and lower bounds that are dynamically adjusted based on market volatility.
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA_vegas = (1/N) * Σ(Close_i) for i = 0 to N-1
where N is the length of the Vegas Window.
Standard Deviation (STD):
STD_vegas = sqrt((1/N) * Σ(Close_i - SMA_vegas)^2) for i = 0 to N-1
Vegas Channel Upper and Lower Bounds:
VegasChannelUpper = SMA_vegas + STD_vegas
VegasChannelLower = SMA_vegas - STD_vegas
The details are here:
🔶 Trend Detection and Trade Signals
The strategy determines the current market trend based on the closing price relative to the SuperTrend bounds:
Market Trend:
MarketTrend = 1 if Close > SuperTrendPrevLower
-1 if Close < SuperTrendPrevUpper
Previous Trend otherwise
Trade signals are generated when there is a shift in the market trend:
Bullish Signal: When the market trend shifts from -1 to 1.
Bearish Signal: When the market trend shifts from 1 to -1.
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism
The strategy incorporates a multi-step take profit mechanism that allows for partial exits at predefined profit levels. This helps in locking in profits gradually and reducing exposure to market reversals.
Take Profit Levels:
The take profit levels are calculated as percentages of the entry price:
TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 + TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for long positions
TakeProfitLevel_i = EntryPrice * (1 - TakeProfitPercent_i/100) for short positions
Multi-steps take profit local picture:
█ Trade Direction
The trade direction can be customized based on the user's preference:
Long: The strategy only takes long positions.
Short: The strategy only takes short positions.
Both: The strategy can take both long and short positions based on the market trend.
█ Usage
To use the Vegas SuperTrend Strategy, follow these steps:
Configure Input Settings:
- Set the ATR period, Vegas Window length, SuperTrend Multiplier, and Volatility Adjustment Factor.
- Choose the desired trade direction (Long, Short, Both).
- Enable or disable the take profit mechanism and set the take profit percentages and amounts for each step.

The default settings of the strategy are designed to provide a balanced approach to trading. Below is an explanation of each setting and its effect on the strategy's performance:
ATR Period (10): This setting determines the length of the ATR used in the SuperTrend calculation. A longer period smoothens the ATR, making the SuperTrend less sensitive to short-term volatility. A shorter period makes the SuperTrend more responsive to recent price movements.
Vegas Window Length (100): This setting defines the period for the Vegas Channel's moving average. A longer window provides a broader view of the market trend, while a shorter window makes the channel more responsive to recent price changes.
SuperTrend Multiplier (5): This base multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to the ATR. A higher multiplier makes the SuperTrend less sensitive, reducing the frequency of trade signals. A lower multiplier increases sensitivity, generating more signals.
Volatility Adjustment Factor (5): This factor dynamically adjusts the SuperTrend multiplier based on the width of the Vegas Channel. A higher factor increases the sensitivity of the SuperTrend to changes in market volatility, while a lower factor reduces it.
Take Profit Percentages (3.0%, 6.0%, 12.0%, 21.0%): These settings define the profit levels at which portions of the trade are exited. They help in locking in profits progressively as the trade moves in favor.
Take Profit Amounts (25%, 20%, 10%, 15%): These settings determine the percentage of the position to exit at each take profit level. They are distributed to ensure that significant portions of the trade are closed as the price reaches the set levels, reducing exposure to reversals.
Adjusting these settings can significantly impact the strategy's performance. For instance, increasing the ATR period or the SuperTrend multiplier can reduce the number of trades, potentially improving the win rate but also missing out on some profitable opportunities. Conversely, lowering these values can increase trade frequency, capturing more short-term movements but also increasing the risk of false signals.
ADR (Log Scale) with MTF LabelsHere's a detailed presentation of the Average Daily Range (ADR) indicator, with a focus on its advantages compared to the classic ADR, its unique features, utility, and interpretation:
Advantages Compared to Classic ADR
1. Logarithmic Scale: Unlike the classic ADR, which uses a linear scale, this version uses a logarithmic scale for calculations. This approach provides a more accurate representation of relative price movements, especially for assets with large price ranges.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: This enhanced ADR indicator allows traders to view daily, weekly, and monthly ADRs simultaneously. This multi-timeframe capability helps traders understand volatility trends over different periods, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.
3. Optional Smoothing: The inclusion of an optional smoothing feature (using Exponential Moving Average, EMA) helps reduce noise in the data. This makes the indicator more reliable by filtering out short-term fluctuations and highlighting the underlying volatility trend.
4. Information Display Labels: The indicator includes labels that display precise ADR values for each timeframe directly on the chart. This feature provides immediate, clear insights without requiring additional calculations or references.
Utility of the Indicator
1. Volatility Analysis: The ADR indicator is essential for assessing market volatility. By showing the average daily price range, it helps traders gauge how much an asset typically moves within a day, week, or month.
2. Risk Management: ADR levels can be used to set stop-loss points, improving risk management strategies. Knowing the average range helps traders avoid setting stops too close to the current price, which might otherwise be triggered by normal market fluctuations.
3. Setting Realistic Targets: By understanding the average daily range, traders can set more realistic profit targets. This helps in avoiding over-ambitious goals that are unlikely to be reached within the typical market movement.
4. Identifying Entry and Exit Points: The ADR can signal potential entry and exit points. For example, if the price approaches the upper or lower ADR boundary, it might indicate an overbought or oversold condition, respectively.
Interpretation and Examples
1. Increasing Volatility: If the ADR is increasing, it indicates rising market volatility. Traders might adjust their strategies accordingly, such as widening their stop-losses to accommodate larger price swings.
2. Range Breakout: If the price significantly exceeds the daily ADR, it may signal a strong trend or exceptional market movement. Traders can use this information to stay in the trade longer or to anticipate a potential reversal.
3. Mean Reversion: Prices often revert to the ADR mean. A trader might consider mean reversion trades when the price approaches the extremes of the ADR range, expecting it to move back towards the average.
4. Multi-Timeframe Comparison: If the daily ADR is higher than the weekly ADR, it may indicate unusually high short-term volatility. This can be a signal for traders to be cautious or to capitalize on the increased movement.
While the ADR indicator provides valuable insights into market volatility and can significantly enhance trading strategies, it is essential to remember that no indicator is foolproof. Market conditions can change rapidly, and past performance is not always indicative of future results. Traders should use the ADR indicator in conjunction with other tools and follow sound risk management practices to protect their capital.
[SGM Geometric Brownian Motion]Description:
This indicator uses Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) simulations to predict possible price trajectories of a financial asset. It helps traders visualize potential price movements, assess risks, and make informed decisions.
Geometric Brownian Motion:
Geometric Brownian Motion is an extension of standard Brownian motion (or Wiener process) used to model the random behavior of particles in physics. In finance, this concept is used to model the evolution of asset prices over time in a continuous manner. The basic idea is that the price of an asset does not only change randomly but also exponentially depending on certain parameters.
Basic formula
The formula for the evolution of the price of an asset S(t) under MBG is given by the following stochastic differential equation:
𝑑𝑆(𝑡) = 𝜇𝑆(𝑡)𝑑𝑡 + 𝜎𝑆(𝑡)𝑑𝑊(𝑡)
where:
S(t) is the price of the asset at time
μ is the expected growth rate (or drift).
σ is the volatility of the price of the asset.
dW(t) represents the noise term, i.e. the standard Brownian motion.
Explanations of the terms
Expected growth rate (μ):
This is the expected average return on the asset. If you think your asset will grow by 5% per year,
μ will be 0.05.
Volatility (σ):
It is a measure of the uncertainty or risk associated with the asset. If the asset price varies a lot, σ will be high.
Noise term (dW(t)):
It represents the randomness of the price change, modeled by a Wiener process.
Features:
Customizable number of simulations: Choose the number of price trajectories to simulate to get a better estimate of future movements.
Adjustable simulation length: Set the duration of the simulations in number of periods to adapt the indicator to your trading horizons.
Trajectory display: Visualize the simulated price trajectories directly on the chart to better understand possible future scenarios.
Dispersion calculations: Display the distribution of simulated final prices to assess dispersion and potential variations.

With its detailed simulations and dispersion analyses, it provides valuable insight into the financial markets.
Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend - Strategy [presentTrading]The code is mainly developed for me to stimulate the multi-step taking profit function for strategies. The result shows the drawdown can be reduced but at the same time reduced the profit as well. It can be a heuristic for futures leverage traders.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend" is a trading strategy designed to leverage the power of multiple steps to optimize trade entries and exits across the Supertrend indicator. Unlike traditional strategies that rely on single entry and exit points, this strategy employs a multi-step approach to take profit, allowing traders to lock in gains incrementally. Additionally, the strategy is adaptable to both long and short trades, providing a comprehensive solution for dynamic market conditions.
This template strategy lies in its dual Supertrend calculation, which enhances the accuracy of trend detection and provides more reliable signals for trade entries and exits. This approach minimizes false signals and increases the overall profitability of trades by ensuring that positions are entered and exited at optimal points.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The "Strategic Multi-Step Supertrend Trader" strategy utilizes two Supertrend indicators calculated with different parameters to determine the direction and strength of the market trend. This dual approach increases the robustness of the signals, reducing the likelihood of entering trades based on false signals. Here is a detailed breakdown of how the strategy operates:
🔶 Supertrend Indicator Calculation
The Supertrend indicator is a trend-following overlay on the price chart, typically used to identify the direction of the trend. It is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure that the indicator adapts to market volatility. The formula for the Supertrend indicator is:
Upper Band = (High + Low) / 2 + (Factor * ATR)
Lower Band = (High + Low) / 2 - (Factor * ATR)
Where:
- High and Low are the highest and lowest prices of the period.
- Factor is a user-defined multiplier.
- ATR is the Average True Range over a specified period.
The Supertrend changes its direction based on the closing price in relation to these bands.
🔶 Entry-Exit Conditions
The strategy enters long positions when both Supertrend indicators signal an uptrend, and short positions when both indicate a downtrend. Specifically:
- Long Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
- Short Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Long Exit Condition: Supertrend1 > 0 and Supertrend2 > 0
- Short Exit Condition: Supertrend1 < 0 and Supertrend2 < 0
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Mechanism
The strategy features a multi-step take profit mechanism, which allows traders to lock in profits incrementally. This is achieved through four user-configurable take profit levels. For each level, the strategy specifies a percentage increase (for long trades) or decrease (for short trades) in the entry price at which a portion of the position is exited:
- Step 1: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent1 / 100)
- Step 2: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent2 / 100)
- Step 3: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent3 / 100)
- Step 4: Exit a portion of the trade at Entry Price * (1 + Take Profit Percent4 / 100)
This staggered exit strategy helps in locking profits at multiple levels, thereby reducing risk and increasing the likelihood of capturing the maximum possible profit from a trend.
