Blackman Filter - The Smoother The BetterIntroduction
Who doesn't like smooth things? I'd like a smooth market price for christmas! But i can't get it, instead its so noisy...so you apply a filter to smooth it, such filters are called low-pass filters, they smooth and its great but they have lag, so nobody really use them, but they are pretty to look at.
Its on a childish note that i will introduce this indicator, so what it is all about? I propose a new FIR filter using a blackman function as filter kernel for financial time-series smoothing, do you prefer the childish tone ? Fear not its surprisingly easy!
The Blackman Function
The blackman function look like a bell shaped curve, look:
The blackman function will produce such curve. This function is called a cosine sum function because she is based on the sum of cosine functions, here only 2.
0.42 - 0.5 * cos(2 * pi * k) + 0.08 * cos(4 * pi * k)
Originally you use this function for windowing , what does it means? In signal processing you have a function called sync function , if you use this function as filter kernel you would get the ideal frequency domain response filter, sometime called brickwall filter, it would be extremely smooth.
Above the optimal low pass filter frequency response.
However the sync function has no ending values and goes on forever, therefore we can't use it for convolution, expect if we apply windowing. Filters using windowing are called windowed-sinc filters, i will describe the procedure below :
1 - Create a sync function = sin(pi*n)/(pi*n)
2 - Truncate it = I only keep the first length points of the sync function.
This create a abrupt end, the frequency of a filter using step 1 as kernel would contain ripples in the pass band and stop band, this is bad! The frequency response would look like this :
3 - I multiply my values of step 2 by a window function, it can the blackman window, i no longer have an abrupt end, its smooth!
The frequency response of the filter using this kernel would no longer have ripples! This is the power of windowing functions.
Here we are not using such thing, but we could in the future. Here instead we use the blackman function as filter kernel, because this function is bell shaped this mean that the filter will certainly be smooth (symmetrical weighting is a rule of thumb for kernels when we want really smooth filters).
The Filter
This filter is quite smooth, unlike the gaussian filter this filter give less weights to recent and past values, this is because the blackman function has fatter tails than the gaussian one. I could make a comparison of both, however they are quite alike, if you often use a gaussian filter its up to you to decide which one you prefer.
The filter can do a better job than the moving average when it comes to preserve the frequency components that constitute the cycles/trend.
We can see that the filter has a greater performance when it comes to keep the shape of the market price, thus it has a slightly better fit.
Conclusion
Ok so in this post you learned a bit about the sync function and windowing, those are basic subjects in signal processing, they allow us to approximate the filter with the ideal frequency response, i also showed you that those windowing function could be used as kernel and that they where pretty smooth on their own, there are many others, but the one i prefer is the blackman windowing function.
I know what you are thinking, "we want trailing stops, alerts, colors, arrows!", and i understand you pal, but sometimes its cool to take a break from all this stuff. However i can tell that i'am working on a side project that aim to estimate rolling maximum/minimum as fast as possible, any experiments will be published here, and i can ensure you that those indicators will make your day quite brighter, we will see that soon.
I hope you learned something from this post! I'am a bit tired (look i'am disappearing !)
Thanks for reading !
Pesquisar nos scripts por "Trailing stop"
Bollinger Band Strategy (Basic) Version 1 This strategy is for learning purposes only. Pay special attention to these strategies on longer aggregation periods (like 1 hr chart or more). Don't expect accurate results when you set a limit to 10 cents above your entry to be accurate. For example if you set the chart to 1 day, the price may move down and hit a stop 10 times then tag your limit. If this doesn't make sense, just don't use strategies here. Learn more first. That being said, I don't have specific recommendations for each aggregation period, backtesting isn't always perfect.
Now then, this strategy can be used as the traditional BB method by setting the "Stop" and "Limit Out" to like 10000, check "Reversal Entry" and uncheck "Limit Time of Day" This will keep the strategy running just reverse your position when price crosses outside each band.
INPUTS:
Length - length of WMA that I used for mean of Bollinger Band (this may suppose to be SMA, too bad)
Source - O-H-L-C basis for WMA
Deviation - normal Standard deviation that would be set when using Bollinger Band
Trailing stop check box - your stop value will be either a hard stop or trailing stop for an exit
Stop - the stop value - remember you can set this really high and it won't stop out
Limit Out - the limit value for exit
Reversal Entry check box - This changes each entry from a reversal (traditional idea of BB) to enter a trend trade - hopefully version 2 will have choice to trend one direction and reversal in the other.
Limit Time of Day - Especially when trading futures, you may want to only trade a specific time of day, when this box is checked, you can set the entry times below, exit will still only occur based on limit/stop or a flip entry order (the opposite entry condition is met)
Tips:
when I don't know a thing about a price range, like gold. I can set the limit out to 10000 and play with a trailing stop to get a better idea of what is even possible before tuning further.
ATR ChannelsATR Channels help you to identify where to place your stop-loss or trailing stop-loss based on price volatility, according to the Average True Range (ATR).

LG --> Long (green: not confirmed) (lime: confirmed)
ST --> Short (maroon: not confirmed) (red: confirmed)
TS --> Trailing Stop
xL --> Close Long Position
xS --> Close Short Position
SL --> Stop Loss
The trailing stop closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or offset. There is no ideal distance because markets and price are always changing and we know that is impossible to exit on the top or bottom. This script interpolate the trailing Stop Offset with profit, higher profit --> higher Trailing Stop Offset. Despite this, it's difficult to catch the price but not impossible. It has a TS delay too. It take a snapshot every X seconds, if the TS is activated the alert is triggered, otherwise the price keeps fluctuating until a new snapshot.
It can be easily converted to Backtest. Just delete "//" on the corresponding part.

Dragon-Bot - Default ScriptDragon-Script is a framework to make it as easy as possible to test your own strategies and set alerts for external execution bots. This is the alerts version of the script.
The script has many features build in, like:
1) A ping/pong mechanism between longs and shorts
2) A stop-loss
3) Trailing Stops with several ways to calculate them.
4) 2 different ways to flip from long to short.
The script is divided into several parts.
The first part of the script is used to set all the variables. You should normally never change the first part except for the comments at the top.
The second part of the script is the part where you initialise all your indicators. Several indicators can be found on Tradingview and on other sites. Please keep in mind that all the variable names used in the indicator should be unique. (all the … = … parts)
The third part of the script, is the most important part of the script. Here you can create the entry and exit points.
Let’s look at the OPENLONG function to explain this part: The first variables are all the possible entries; These are longentry1 till longentry5. You can add many more if you like.
The variables are all initialised as being false. This way the script can set a value to true if an entry happens.
The if function is the actual logic: You could say “if this is true” then (the line below the if function) longentry1 := (becomes) true.
In this case we have said: “if this is true” then (the line below the if function) longentry1 := (becomes) true when the current close is larger than the close that is 1 back.
The last part is the makelong_funct. This part says that if any of the entries are true, the whole function is true.
The last part of the script is the actual execution. Here the alerts are plotted and the back test strategies are opened and closed.
We hope you guys like it and all feedback is welcome!

MTA-Traling StopIntroduction
Based on my previous indicator , this indicator plot a trailing stop using classic conditions.
Using The Indicator
Like any trailing stop when price is higher than the trailing stop this imply a buy signals, when price is lower than the trailing stop this imply a sell signal. It is possible to use decimals instead of integers for length as shown here :
length = 14.7
The indicator tend to react faster to price movements when a trend has been really long, this methodology is similar to the one used by the parabolic sar.
Downsides
Lack of robustness with the length parameter, the behaviour of the trailing stop can be hard to predict. There is a real need for control.
Conclusion
The indicator can be adaptive, even if it already is in a certain way, by changing the alpha variable at the start considering that 0 < alpha < 1. Its not recommended to use it right now except for testing/coding purpose.
It is clear that i'm not enthusiast when it come to this script, there is a real lack of accuracy, i still hope it can be of use.
Chandelier ExitThis is a redesign of the Chandelier Exit indicator. It removes stupid transitions between Chandelier Exit' states and highlights initial points for both lines.
This indicator was originally developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in his book "Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading" (2002).
In short, this is a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Trailing Resistance MTFTRAILING RESISTANCE INDICATOR is a helpful tool for traders to help one of the common problems that they face: where to buy/sell?
by using trailing resistance you can easily decide and see possible upward movements and understand if you are in a safe zone.
Using Trailing Resistance is just simple:
Go long/ Buy when price crosses above the indicator,
Stay on short position if prices are below the indicator.
The indicator is calculated from previous Lows and doesn't the value won't change until prices makes higher lows.

TRAILING STOP LOSS INDICATOR is a helpful tool for traders to help one of the greatest problems that they face: where to sell?
by using trailing stop loss you can easily decide and see possible downward movements and understand if you are in a safe zone.
Using Trailing Stop Loss is just simple:
Go short/ Sell when price crosses down the indicator,
Stay on long position if prices are above the indicator.
The indicator is calculated from previous Lows and doesn't the value won't change until prices makes higher lows.
Simple Trailing Buy & Stop StrategyAllows you to backtest a simple percentage based trailing stop, with a trailing buy. Experiment with different percentages on different timeframes for different charts.
For BTCUSD, on daily 4.3% stop and 1.9% buy works well, while on 4hr a 1.5% stop and 1.9% buy works best.
Please comment with any other combos that work well for you on different markets or timeframes.
CoryT's Noro's Ichimoku AlertsA few months ago I took Noro's Ichimoku Cloud and used the AV bot template to throw stops on it. I took some code from JustUncleL
to make it not so hideous. Trailing Stops are turned off, stop losses are turned off (you really don't need them with this), and this is currently a Long/Short strategy, the Longs Only and Shorts Only options are broken right now, I'm tired and you guys can either fix it yourselves or deal with it like this for now.
Hint: If you wanna use this as a long-only strategy just have AV close your buy orders whenever a short is triggered.

Binque's Stop Loss IndicatorBinque's Stop Loss Indicator is a great way to visualize a trailing stop loss based on a percent from the high. i.e. If the high was $10 of a trading day and your stop loss was set at 5% (percent) then your chart would show a small dot 5% below the high of the day. This is a great way to quickly see a trailing stock idea. Change the color to match your back ground. Adjust your trailing stop loss to fit your trading style.
Note: This indicator is calculated off of the daily high.
3 Duck's Trading System from Babypips.comThe 3 Duck's Trading System from Babypips.com
The 3 Duck's Trading System is the most popular and active trading system thread on the the babypips.com forum. It is a system that is mainly for beginners because it teaches you discipline, learning to cope with price moving against your position and learning to stay in a trade and keep profits running. For the thread and more info on the 3 Duck's Trading System click here
How does it work?
The system is a very simple enter/exit based on the 60 SMA of 3 different time frames: 4 hour, 1 hour and 5 minute.
The Rules, er, the Ducks! The Ducks must all be in a row for a trade to take place!
Duck 1 - To go long, price must be above the 60 SMA on the 4 hour chart.
Duck 2 - To go long, price must be above the 60 SMA on the 1 hour chart.
Duck 3 - To go long, price must cross above the 60 SMA on the 5 minute chart and the 60 SMA of the 5 minute chart must be below that of the 4 hour and 1 hour chart. (obviously the reverse for shorting)
YOU MUST USE THIS SYSTEM ONLY ON THE 5 MINUTE CHART.
I say this because I have already charted all of the Ducks into the 5 minute chart so you don't have to flip back and forth.
I have also added some inputs for profit targets, stop targets, trailing stops and times to trade for backtesting.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! If you see I messed up on something, please let me know!
Also a VERY special thanks to the babypips.com user Captain_Currency . He wrote this strategy 10 years ago (2007 was 10 years ago?!) and he is still active on the thread and posting results and offering help!
Open Close Cross Strategy R5 revised by JustUncleLThis revision is an open Public release, with just some minor changes. It is a revision of the Strategy "Open Close Cross Strategy R2" originally published by @JayRogers.
*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ***
JayRogers : "There are drawing/painting issues in pinescript when working across resolutions/timeframes that I simply cannot fix here.. I will not be putting any further effort into developing this until such a time when workarounds become available."
NOTE: Re-painting has not been observed with the default set up, nor with Alternate resolution multiplier up to 5.
Description:
Strategy based around Open-Close Moving Average Crossovers optionally from a higher time frame.
Setup:
I have generally found that setting the strategy resolution to 3-5x that of the chart you are viewing tends to yield the best results, regardless of which MA option you may choose (if any) BUT can cause a lot of false positives - be aware of this. JustUncleL: using one of the Smoothed MA helps reduce false positives.
Don't aim for perfection. Just aim to get a reasonably snug fit with the O-C band, with good runs of green and red. JustUncleL: using SMMA (8 to 10) gives a good fit.
Option to either use basic open and close series data, or pick your poison with a wide array of MA types.
Optional Stop Loss and Target Profit for damage mitigation if desired (can be toggled on/off)
Positions get taken automatically following a crossover - which is why it's better to set the resolution of the script greater than that of your chart, so that the trades get taken sooner rather than later.
If you make use of the stops/target profit, be sure to take your time tweaking the values. Cutting it too fine will cost you profits but keep you safer, while letting them loose could lead to more draw down than you can handle.
Revsion R5 Changes by JustUncleL
Corrected cross over calculations, sometimes gave false signals.
Corrected Alternate Time calculation to allow for Daily,Weekly and Monthly charts.
Open Public release.
Revision R4 By JustUncleL
Change the way the Alternate resolution in selected, use a Multiplier of the base Time Frame instead, this makes it easy to switch between base time frames.
Added TMA and SSMA moving average options. But DEMA is still giving the best results.
Using "calc_on_every_tick=false" ensures results between back testing and real time are similar.
Added Option to Disable the coloring of the bars.
Updated default settings.
R3 Changes by JustUncleL:
Returned a simplified version of the open/close channel, it shows strength of current trend.
Added Target Profit Option.
Added option to reduce the number of historical bars, overcomes the too many trades limit error.
Simplified the strategy code.
Removed Trailing Stop option, not required and in my option does not work well in Trading View, it also gives false and unrealistic performance results in back testing.
R2 Changes by @JayRogers:
Simplified and cleaned up plotting, now just shows a Moving Average derived from the average of open/close.
Tried very hard to alleviate painting issues caused by referencing alternate resolution.

Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
SuperTrend Dual RMAOverview
The SuperTrend Dual RMA is a hybrid volatility-based trend-following system that merges two Relative Moving Averages (RMAs) with an Average True Range (ATR)–anchored SuperTrend framework. The primary purpose of this indicator is to offer a smoother and more reliable depiction of directional bias while maintaining sensitivity to price volatility and market volume.
Traditional SuperTrend implementations typically rely on a single moving average and a fixed volatility envelope. This dual RMA structure introduces an adaptive central tendency line that reacts proportionally to both price and volume, allowing for more nuanced identification of trend reversals and continuation patterns.
**Core Concept**
The indicator is built around two key principles — smoothing and volatility adaptation.
1. **Smoothing:** The use of two separate RMAs with configurable lengths creates a dynamic equilibrium between short-term responsiveness and long-term stability. The first RMA captures near-term directional shifts, while the second provides broader market context. The average of both becomes the foundation of the SuperTrend bands.
2. **Volatility Adaptation:** The ATR multiplier and period define the distance between upper and lower bands relative to recent volatility. This ensures that the SuperTrend line remains flexible across varying market conditions — expanding during high volatility and contracting during calm phases.
**Calculation Steps**
* The indicator first computes two volume-weighted RMAs based on the typical price (`hlc3`) multiplied by trading volume.
* Each RMA is normalized by the smoothed volume to maintain proportional weighting.
* These two RMAs are averaged to produce a “basis line” that reflects the current market consensus price.
* The ATR is calculated over a user-defined period, then multiplied by a volatility factor (ATR multiplier).
* The resulting ATR value defines dynamic upper and lower thresholds around the basis line.
* Trend direction is determined by price closing behavior relative to these thresholds:
* When the closing price exceeds the upper band, the trend is considered bullish.
* When it drops below the lower band, the trend turns bearish.
* If price remains within the bands, the prior trend direction is maintained for consistency.
**Visual Structure**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA provides multiple layers of visual feedback for enhanced interpretation:
* Two distinct RMA lines (short and long) are plotted with complementary colors for contrast and clarity.
* A soft fill between the RMA lines highlights the interaction between short- and medium-term momentum.
* The ATR-based SuperTrend bands are drawn above and below the basis, with adaptive coloring that corresponds to the prevailing trend direction.
* Bar colors automatically adjust to reflect bullish or bearish bias, making it easy to identify trend shifts without relying solely on crossovers.
* Optional triangle markers appear below or above bars to signal potential buy or sell opportunities based on crossover logic.
**Signals and Alerts**
The indicator provides real-time crossover detection:
* **Buy Signal:** Triggered when the closing price moves above the SuperTrend line, confirming potential bullish continuation or reversal.
* **Sell Signal:** Triggered when the closing price drops below the SuperTrend line, indicating possible bearish momentum or reversal.
Both conditions have built-in `alertcondition()` functions, allowing users to set automated alerts for trading or monitoring purposes. This enables integration with TradingView’s alert system for push notifications, emails, or webhook connections.
**Usage Guidelines**
* **Trend Identification:** Use the color-coded trend line and bar color as a visual guide to the current directional bias.
* **Entry and Exit Timing:** Consider entering trades when a new crossover alert appears, preferably in the direction of the overall higher-timeframe trend.
* **Parameter Tuning:** Adjust the RMA lengths and ATR parameters based on asset volatility. Shorter RMA and ATR settings provide faster reactions, suitable for intraday or high-frequency trading, while longer configurations better fit swing or position strategies.
* **Risk Management:** Because the SuperTrend inherently acts as a dynamic stop level, traders can use the opposite band or SuperTrend line as a trailing stop or exit signal.
**Practical Applications**
* Trend confirmation in multi-timeframe strategies.
* Adaptive trailing stop placement using the lower or upper band.
* Visual comparison of volume-weighted price movement against volatility envelopes.
* Integration into algorithmic trading systems as a signal filter or trend bias component.
* Identification of overextended conditions when price significantly diverges from the SuperTrend basis.
**Originality and Advantages**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA differentiates itself from conventional SuperTrend scripts through three innovative design choices:
1. **Dual Volume-Weighted RMAs:** By incorporating two RMAs weighted by trading volume, the indicator accounts for liquidity dynamics, producing smoother and more reliable averages compared to price-only calculations.
2. **Anchored SuperTrend Framework:** The SuperTrend bands are not derived from a fixed source (such as a single close or median price) but from a blended RMA basis, making them more adaptable to varying market behaviors.
3. **Integrated Multi-Layer Visualization:** The inclusion of filled regions between RMAs, dynamic band coloring, and bar tinting enhances readability and analytical depth without overwhelming the chart.
These improvements collectively create a more balanced and data-rich representation of market structure, offering a higher degree of analytical precision. It’s suitable for traders seeking both discretionary and systematic use, as the indicator’s logic is transparent and compatible with alert-based or automated workflows.
**Summary**
The SuperTrend Dual RMA is a refined evolution of the classic SuperTrend, optimized for traders who value smoother directional tracking and more intelligent volatility adaptation. It blends two time-sensitive, volume-aware moving averages with an ATR-derived volatility system to deliver reliable, actionable trend information. Its visual design, adaptive responsiveness, and integrated alert functionality make it a complete solution for identifying and managing trends across multiple asset classes and timeframes.
ATM Pulse (Arjo)ATM Pulse (Arjo) — Real-Time ATM Options Sentiment & Trend Strength Indicator
Overview
ATM Pulse (Arjo) is an options analytics and trend overlay tool that automatically detects the At-The-Money (ATM) strike for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY , or any selected stock.
It merges Call–Put Volume Ratio (CPVR) sentiment analysis with a Chandelier Exit trend overlay to help traders visualize both market bias and trend direction in a single chart.
Concepts & Logic
ATM Auto Detection
The script calculates the current ATM strike by rounding the underlying’s price to the nearest strike interval (e.g., 50 for NIFTY, 100 for BANKNIFTY). It then requests live option-chain data for that strike.
Call–Put Volume Ratio (CPVR)
The Call-Put Volume Ratio (CPVR) is calculated as the call volume divided by the put volume.
CPVR > 1.25 → Bullish dominance (Calls stronger)
CPVR < 0.75 → Bearish dominance (Puts stronger)
0.75–1.25 → Neutral sentiment
This ratio helps interpret real-time option-market positioning.
Chandelier Exit Trend Overlay
Using Average True Range (ATR) , the overlay plots dynamic trailing stops and visual trend zones:
🟢 Green: Uptrend continuation zone
🔴 Red: Downtrend continuation zone
A color change signals possible momentum reversal.
Combination of CPVR and Chandelier Exit
CPVR gauges option-market sentiment
Chandelier Exit confirms price-action direction
When both align (e.g., bullish CPVR + green Chandelier zone), it strengthens directional conviction. Divergent readings may signal indecision or early reversals.
How to Use
Open any NIFTY, BANKNIFTY , or stocks chart.
Add ATM Pulse (Arjo) to the chart.
Select your expiry date — the script auto-detects the ATM strike and displays:
C: Call LTP
P: Put LTP
CPVR: Call/Put Volume Ratio label
Watch the Chandelier Exit colors:
🟢 Green = Bullish trend
🔴 Red = Bearish trend
Combine CPVR bias + trend color for confirmation.
If CPVR is above 1.25 and trend color green → More bullish activity (Calls stronger).
If CPVR is below 0.75, and trend color red→ More bearish activity (Puts stronger).
If CPVR is between 0.75 and 1.25 and the trend color is gray/mixed → Neutral
Practical Use Case
The script continuously updates the ATM strike, CPVR , and trend overlay in real time.
It provides a clear visual snapshot of how option volumes align with price momentum , ideal for intraday or short-term directional traders.

AMF PG Strategy v2.3AMF PG Strategy v2.3
1. Core Philosophy: Filtered and Volatility-Aware Trend Following
"AMF PG Strategy" is an advanced trend-following system designed to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern markets. The strategy's core philosophy is not just to follow the trend but also to wait for the right conditions to enter the market.
This is not a "black box." It is a rules-based framework that gives the user full control over various market filters. By requiring multiple conditions to be met simultaneously, the strategy aims to filter out low-quality signals and focus only on high-probability trend opportunities.
2. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Following
At the heart of the strategy is a proprietary, volatility-aware trend-following mechanism called AMF PG (Praetorian Guard). This engine operates as follows:
Dynamic Bands: Creates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price that is constantly recalculated. The width of these bands is not fixed; It dynamically adjusts based on recent market volatility, volume flow, and price expansion. This adaptive structure allows the strategy to adapt to both calm and high-volatility markets.
Entry Signals: A buy signal is triggered when the price rises above the upper band. A sell signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower band. However, these signals are executed only when all the active filters described below give the green light.
Trailing Stop-Loss: When a position is entered, the opposite band automatically acts as a trailing stop-loss level. For example, when a buy position is opened, the lower band follows the price as a stop-loss. This allows for profit retention and trend continuation.
3. Multi-Layered Filter System: Understanding the Market
The power of this strategy comes from its modular filter system, which allows the user to filter market conditions based on their own analysis. Each filter can be enabled or disabled individually in the settings:
Filter 1: Trend Strength (ADX Filter): This filter confirms whether there is a strong trend in the market. It uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicator and only allows trades if the ADX value is above a certain threshold. This helps avoid trading in weak or directionless markets. It also confirms the direction of the trend by checking the position of the DMI (+DI and -DI) lines.
Filter 2: Sideways Market (Chop Index Filter): This filter determines whether the market is excessively choppy or directionless. Using the Chop Index, this filter aims to protect against fakeouts by blocking trades when the market is highly indecisive.
Filter 3: Market Structure (Hurst Exponent Filter): This is one of the strategy's most advanced filters. It analyzes the current market behavior using the Hurst Exponent. This mathematical tool attempts to determine whether a market tends to trend (permanent), tends to revert to the mean (anti-permanent), or moves randomly. This filter ensures that signals are generated only when market structure supports trending trades.
4. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
This strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage of their capital they will tolerate to decline from its peak. If the strategy's capital reaches this set drawdown limit, the protection feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as an emergency brake to protect capital against unexpected market conditions.
5. Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
The strategy is designed for traders who want to automate their signals. From the Settings menu, you can configure custom alert messages in JSON format, compatible with third-party automation services (via Webhooks).
6. Strategy Backtest Information
Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTCUSD pair with the following settings:
Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025
Default Position Size: 15% of Capital
Pyramiding: Closed
Commission: 0.0008
Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests)
Testing Approach: The published test includes 423 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.
VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6 - AdvancedThese are a few updates made to the original script. The daily take profit and stop loss functions correctly for 1 contract but because of the pyramiding input even if not used you'll need to multiply the values by the number of contracts to keep consistent results. I have been unable to correct that function. Let me know if you test the script and have any recommendations for improvement. If trading an actual account I do recommend setting hard daily limits with your provider because there is still slippage from the original exit alerts even with the daily stop loss in place.
1. Real-Time Execution & Hard PnL Limits (The Focus)
The most critical changes were implemented to ensure the daily profit and loss limits act as hard, real-time barriers instead of waiting for the candle to close.
• Intrabar Tick Execution: The parameter calc_on_every_tick=true was added to the strategy() declaration. This forces the entire script to re-evaluate its logic on every single price update (tick), enabling immediate action.
• Real-Time PnL Tracking: The PnL calculation was updated to track the total_daily_pnl by summing the realized profit/loss (from closed trades) and the unrealized profit/loss (strategy.openprofit) on every tick.
• Immediate Closure: The script now checks the total_daily_pnl against the user-defined limits (daily_take_profit_value, daily_stop_loss_value) and immediately executes strategy.close_all() the moment the threshold is breached, preventing further trading.
• Combined Risk Enforcement: The user-defined "Max Intraday Risk ($)" and the "Daily Stop Loss (Value)" are compared, and the script enforces the tighter of the two limits.
2. Visibility and External Alerting
To address the unavoidable issue of slippage (which causes price overshoot in fast markets even with tick execution), dedicated alert mechanisms were added.
• Dedicated Alert Condition: An alertcondition named DAILY PNL LIMIT REACHED was added. This allows you to set up a TradingView alert that triggers the instant the daily_limit_reached variable turns true, giving you the fastest possible notification.
• Visual Marker: A large red triangle (\u25b2) is plotted on the chart using plotchar at the exact moment the daily limit condition is met, providing a clear visual confirmation of the trigger bar.
3. Strategy Features and Input Flexibility
Several user-requested features were integrated to make the strategy more robust and customizable.
• Trailing Stop / Breakeven (TSL/BE): A new exit option, Fixed Ticks + TSL, was added, allowing you to set a fixed profit target while also deploying a trailing stop or breakeven level based on points/ticks gained.
• Multiple Exit Types: The exit strategy was expanded to include logic for several types: Fixed Ticks, ATR-based, Capped ATR-based, VWAP Cross, and Price/Band Crosses.
• Pyramiding Control: An input Max Pyramiding Entries was introduced to control how many positions the strategy can have open at the same time.
• Confirmation Logic Toggle: Added an input to choose how multiple confirmation indicators (RSI, SMMA, MACD) are combined: "AND" (all must be true) or "OR" (at least one must be true).
• Indicator Confirmations: Logic for three external indicators—RSI, SMMA (EMA), and MACD—was fully integrated to act as optional filters for entry.
• VWAP Reset Anchors: Logic was corrected to properly reset the VWAP calculation based on the selected period ("Daily", "Weekly", or "Session") by using Pine Script v6's required anchor series.
Trading Day Filters: Inputs were added to select which specific days of the week the strategy is allowed to trade.
