PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.
Exit rules and money management
Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.

Victoria Overlay - HTF 200 + VWAP + ATR Stop + MA TrioConsolidated road to minions
Buy Setup:
EMA1 crosses above SMA3.
RSI confirms above 50.
Volume increasing (confirming momentum).
Candle closes above SMA1 base.
Sell Setup:
EMA1 crosses below SMA3.
RSI drops below 50 or exits overbought.
Volume confirms (declining or reversing).
Candle closes below SMA1 base.
Tips:
Think of EMA1 as the scalper’s trigger.
SMA3 is your momentum check.
SMA1 (base) = short-term bias.
Avoid entries during low-volume chop.
Use for day trades or tight scalps; exits happen fast.
Overlay (Smoothed Heikin Ashi + Swing + VWAP + ATR Stop + 200-SMA)
Purpose: Multi-layer trend confirmation + clean structure.
Type: Swing alignment tool.
🟩 BUY / CALL Conditions
Green “Buy (Gated)” arrow appears.
Price is above VWAP, above 200-SMA, and above ATR stop.
ATR stop (green line) sits under price → support confirmed.
Heikin-Ashi candles are green/lime.
Bias label says “Above VWAP | Above 200 | Swing Up”.
🟥 SELL / PUT Conditions
Red “Sell (Gated)” arrow appears.
Price is below VWAP, below 200-SMA, and below ATR stop.
ATR stop (red line) sits above price → resistance confirmed.
Heikin-Ashi candles are red.
Bias label says “Below VWAP | Below 200 | Swing Down”.
Exit / Risk Control:
Close position when price crosses ATR stop.
If Heikin candles flip color, momentum is reversing.
Best Use Cases:
For next-day or multi-hour swing entries.
Use ATR Stop for dynamic stop loss.
Stay out when the bias label is mixed (e.g. “Above VWAP | Below 200 | Swing Down”).
Pro Tip:
On big news days, let VWAP reset post-open before acting on arrows — filters fake signals.
RSI Panel Pro (v6)
Purpose: Strength + exhaustion confirmation.
Type: Momentum filter.
Key Levels:
Overbought: 80+ → take profits soon.
Oversold: 20– → watch for bounce setups.
Bull regime: RSI above 60 = momentum strong.
Bear regime: RSI below 40 = weakness.
Buy / Entry Signals:
RSI crosses up from below 40 or 20.
RSI line is above RSI-EMA (gray line).
Higher timeframe RSI (if used) is also rising.
Trim / Exit:
RSI drops under 60 after being strong.
RSI crosses below its EMA.
Sell / Put Setup:
RSI fails at 60 or drops below 40.
RSI crosses under EMA after a bounce.
Tips:
Pair RSI panel with Victoria Overlay — only take gated buys when RSI confirms.
RSI < 40 but above 20 = “loading zone” for reversals.
RSI > 70 = overextended → wait for confirmation before entering.
Combined Execution Rules
Goal What to Watch Action
Entry (CALL) EMA1 > SMA3, Buy (Gated) arrow, RSI rising > 50 Buy call / open long
Entry (PUT) EMA1 < SMA3, Sell (Gated) arrow, RSI < 50 Buy put / open short
Exit Early Price crosses ATR stop or RSI flips under EMA Exit trade / protect gains
Trend Filter VWAP + 200-SMA alignment Only trade in that direction
Avoid Trades Conflicting bias label or low volume Stay flat
Pro Tips
VWAP → Intraday mean: above = bullish control, below = bearish control.
ATR Stop → Dynamic trailing stop: never widen it manually.
Smoothed Heikin-Ashi → filters noise: trend stays until color flips twice.
RSI Panel → confirms whether to hold through pullbacks.
If RSI and Overlay disagree — wait, not trade.
Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ | Trend-Following StrategyThis document presents the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ Pine Script strategy, a systematic approach designed for trend identification and risk-managed position entry in financial markets. The strategy is engineered for long-only positions and integrates volatility-adjusted components to enhance signal robustness and trade management.
Strategic Design and Methodological Basis
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is constructed upon a foundation of established technical analysis principles, with a focus on objective signal generation and realistic trade execution.
Heikin Ashi for Trend Filtering: The core price data is processed via Heikin Ashi (HA) methodology to mitigate transient market noise and accentuate underlying trend direction. The script offers three distinct HA calculation modes, allowing for comparative analysis and validation:
Manual Calculation: Provides a transparent and deterministic computation of HA values.
ticker.heikinashi(): Utilizes TradingView's built-in function, employing confirmed historical bars to prevent repainting artifacts.
Regular Candles: Allows for direct comparison with standard OHLC price action.
This multi-methodological approach to trend smoothing is critical for robust signal generation.
Adaptive ATR Trailing Stop: A key component is the Average True Range (ATR)-based trailing stop. ATR serves as a dynamic measure of market volatility. The strategy incorporates user-defined parameters (
Key Value and ATR Period) to calibrate the sensitivity of this trailing stop, enabling adaptation to varying market volatility regimes. This mechanism is designed to provide a dynamic exit point, preserving capital and locking in gains as a trend progresses.
EMA Crossover for Signal Generation: Entry and exit signals are derived from the interaction between the Heikin Ashi derived price source and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A crossover event between these two components is utilized to objectively identify shifts in momentum, signaling potential long entry or exit points.
Rigorous Stop Loss Implementation: A critical feature for risk mitigation, the strategy includes an optional stop loss. This stop loss can be configured as a percentage or fixed point deviation from the entry price. Importantly, stop loss execution is based on real market prices, not the synthetic Heikin Ashi values. This design choice ensures that risk management is grounded in actual market liquidity and price levels, providing a more accurate representation of potential drawdowns during backtesting and live operation.
Backtesting Protocol: The strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, employing fill_orders_on_standard_ohlc=true to simulate order execution at standard OHLC prices. A configurable Date Filter is included to define specific historical periods for performance evaluation.
Data Visualization and Metrics: The script provides on-chart visual overlays for buy/sell signals, the ATR trailing stop, and the stop loss level. An integrated information table displays real-time strategy parameters, current position status, trend direction, and key price levels, facilitating immediate quantitative assessment.
Applicability
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is particularly suited for:
Cryptocurrency Markets: The inherent volatility of assets such as #Bitcoin and #Ethereum makes the ATR-based trailing stop a relevant tool for dynamic risk management.
Systematic Trend Following: Individuals employing systematic methodologies for trend capture will find the objective signal generation and rule-based execution aligned with their approach.
Pine Script Developers and Quants: The transparent code structure and emphasis on realistic backtesting provide a valuable framework for further analysis, modification, and integration into broader quantitative models.
Automated Trading Systems: The clear, deterministic entry and exit conditions facilitate integration into automated trading environments.
Implementation and Evaluation
To evaluate the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy, apply the script to your chosen chart on TradingView. Adjust the input parameters (Key Value, ATR Period, Heikin Ashi Method, Stop Loss Settings) to observe performance across various asset classes and timeframes. Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to assess the strategy's historical performance characteristics, including profitability, drawdown, and risk-adjusted returns.

Heiken Ashi Supertrend ADXHeiken Ashi Supertrend ADX Indicator
Overview
This indicator combines the power of Heiken Ashi candles, Supertrend indicator, and ADX filter to identify strong trend movements across multiple timeframes. Designed primarily for the cryptocurrency market but adaptable to any tradable asset, this system focuses on capturing momentum in established trends while employing a sophisticated triple-layer stop loss mechanism to protect capital and secure profits.
Strategy Mechanics
Entry Signals
The strategy uses a unique blend of technical signals to identify high-probability trade entries:
Heiken Ashi Candles: Looks specifically for Heiken Ashi candles with minimal or no wicks, which signal strong momentum and trend continuation. These "full-bodied" candles represent periods where price moved decisively in one direction with minimal retracement. These are overlayed onto normal candes for more accuarte signalling and plotting
Supertrend Filter: Confirms the underlying trend direction using the Supertrend indicator (default factor: 3.0, ATR period: 10). Entries are aligned with the prevailing Supertrend direction.
ADX Filter (Optional) : Can be enabled to focus only on stronger trending conditions, filtering out choppy or ranging markets. When enabled, trades only trigger when ADX is above the specified threshold (default: 25).
Exit Signals
Positions are closed when either:
An opposing signal appears (Heiken Ashi candle with no wick in the opposite direction)
Any of the three stop loss mechanisms are triggered
Triple-Layer Stop Loss System
The strategy employs a sophisticated three-tier stop loss approach:
ATR Trailing Stop: Adapts to market volatility and locks in profits as the trend extends. This stop moves in the direction of the trade, capturing profit without exiting too early during normal price fluctuations.
Swing Point Stop: Uses natural market structure (recent highs/lows over a lookback period) to place stops at logical support/resistance levels, honoring the market's own rhythm.
Insurance Stop: A percentage-based safety net that protects against sudden adverse moves immediately after entry. This is particularly valuable when the swing point stop might be positioned too far from entry, providing immediate capital protection.
Optimization Features
Customizable Filters : All components (Supertrend, ADX) can be enabled/disabled to adapt to different market conditions
Adjustable Parameters : Fine-tune ATR periods, Supertrend factors, and ADX thresholds
Flexible Stop Loss Settings : Each of the three stop loss mechanisms can be individually enabled/disabled with customizable parameters
Best Practices for Implementation
[Recommended Timeframes : Works best on 4-hour charts and above, where trends develop more reliably
Market Conditions: Performs well across various market conditions due to the ADX filter's ability to identify meaningful trends
Performance Characteristics
When properly optimized, this has demonstrated profit factors exceeding 3 in backtesting. The approach typically produces generous winners while limiting losses through its multi-layered stop loss system. The ATR trailing stop is particularly effective at capturing extended trends, while the insurance stop provides immediate protection against adverse moves.
The visual components on the chart make it easy to follow the strategy's logic, with position status, entry prices, and current stop levels clearly displayed.
This indicator represents a complete trading system with clearly defined entry and exit rules, adaptive stop loss mechanisms, and built-in risk management through position sizing.

Swing Point Stop : Uses natural market structure (recent highs/lows over a lookback period) to place stops at logical support/resistance levels, honoring the market's own rhythm.
Insurance Stop: A percentage-based safety net that protects against sudden adverse moves immediately after entry. This is particularly valuable when the swing point stop might be positioned too far from entry, providing immediate capital protection.
Optimization Features
Customizable Filters: All components (Supertrend, ADX) can be enabled/disabled to adapt to different market conditions
Adjustable Parameters: Fine-tune ATR periods, Supertrend factors, and ADX thresholds
Flexible Stop Loss Settings: Each of the three stop loss mechanisms can be individually enabled/disabled with customizable parameters
Best Practices for Implementation
Recommended Timeframes: Works best on 4-hour charts and above, where trends develop more reliably
Market Conditions: Performs well across various market conditions due to the ADX filter's ability to identify meaningful trends
Position Sizing: The strategy uses a percentage of equity approach (default: 3%) for position sizing
Performance Characteristics
When properly optimized, this strategy has demonstrated profit factors exceeding 3 in backtesting. The approach typically produces generous winners while limiting losses through its multi-layered stop loss system. The ATR trailing stop is particularly effective at capturing extended trends, while the insurance stop provides immediate protection against adverse moves.
The visual components on the chart make it easy to follow the strategy's logic, with position status, entry prices, and current stop levels clearly displayed.
This strategy represents a complete trading system with clearly defined entry and exit rules, adaptive stop loss mechanisms, and built-in risk management through position sizing.
Reversal Trading Bot Strategy[BullByte]Overview :
The indicator Reversal Trading Bot Strategy is crafted to capture potential market reversal points by combining momentum, volatility, and trend alignment filters. It uses a blend of technical indicators to identify both bullish and bearish reversal setups, ensuring that multiple market conditions are met before entering a trade.
Core Components :
Technical Indicators Used :
RSI (Relative Strength Index) :
Purpose : Detects divergence conditions by comparing recent lows/highs in price with the RSI.
Parameter : Length of 8.
Bollinger Bands (BB) :
Purpose : Measures volatility and identifies price levels that are statistically extreme.
Parameter : Length of 20 and a 2-standard deviation multiplier.
ADX (Average Directional Index) & DMI (Directional Movement Index) :
Purpose : Quantifies the strength of the trend. The ADX threshold is set at 20, and additional filters check for the alignment of the directional indicators (DI+ and DI–).
ATR (Average True Range) :
Purpose : Provides a volatility measure used to set stop levels and determine risk through trailing stops.
Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of Volume ):
Purpose : Helps confirm strength by comparing the current volume against a 20-period average, with an optional filter to ensure volume is at least twice the SMA.
User-Defined Toggle Filters :
Volume Filter : Confirms that the volume is above average (or twice the SMA) before taking trades.
ADX Trend Alignment Filter : Checks that the ADX’s directional indicators support the trade direction.
BB Close Confirmation : Optionally refines the entry by requiring price to be beyond the upper or lower Bollinger Band rather than just above or below.
RSI Divergence Exit : Allows the script to close positions if RSI divergence is detected.
BB Mean Reversion Exit : Closes positions if the price reverts to the Bollinger Bands’ middle line.
Risk/Reward Filter : Ensures that the potential reward is at least twice the risk by comparing the distance to the Bollinger Band with the ATR.
Candle Movement Filter : Optional filter to require a minimum percentage move in the candle to confirm momentum.
ADX Trend Exit : Closes positions if the ADX falls below the threshold and the directional indicators reverse.
Entry Conditions :
Bullish Entry :
RSI Divergence : Checks if the current close is lower than a previous low while the RSI is above the previous low, suggesting bullish divergence.
Bollinger Confirmation : Requires that the price is above the lower (or upper if confirmation is toggled) Bollinger Band.
Volume & Trend Filters : Combines volume condition, ADX strength, and an optional candle momentum condition.
Risk/Reward Check : Validates that the trade meets a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Bearish Entry :
Uses a mirror logic of the bullish entry by checking for bearish divergence, ensuring the price is below the appropriate Bollinger level, and confirming volume, trend strength, candle pattern, and risk/reward criteria.
Trade Execution and Exit Strateg y:
Trade Execution :
Upon meeting the entry conditions, the strategy initiates a long or short position.
Stop Loss & Trailing Stops :
A stop-loss is dynamically set using the ATR value, and trailing stops are implemented as a percentage of the close price.
Exit Conditions :
Additional exit filters can trigger early closures based on RSI divergence, mean reversion (via the middle Bollinger Band), or a weakening trend as signaled by ADX falling below its threshold.
This multi-layered exit strategy is designed to lock in gains or minimize losses if the market begins to reverse unexpectedly.
How the Strategy Works in Different Market Conditions :
Trending Markets :
The ADX filter ensures that trades are only taken when the trend is strong. When the market is trending, the directional movement indicators help confirm the momentum, making the reversal signal more reliable.
Ranging Markets :
In choppy markets, the Bollinger Bands expand and contract, while the RSI divergence can highlight potential turning points. The optional filters can be adjusted to avoid false signals in low-volume or low-volatility conditions.
Volatility Management :
With ATR-based stop-losses and a risk/reward filter, the strategy adapts to current market volatility, ensuring that risk is managed consistently.
Recommendation on using this Strategy with a Trading Bot :
This strategy is well-suited for high-frequency trading (HFT) due to its ability to quickly identify reversal setups and execute trades dynamically with automated stop-loss and trailing exits. By integrating this script with a TradingView webhook-based bot or an API-driven execution system, traders can automate trade entries and exits in real-time, reducing manual execution delays and capitalizing on fast market movements.

Options Series - P_SAR And Supertrend
The provided PineScript combines two well-known indicators—Parabolic SAR (P_SAR) and Supertrend—to create a comprehensive trading tool. Here are some powerful insights and the importance of this script:
⭐ 1. Supertrend Indicator:
What it does: The Supertrend indicator is based on the Average True Range (ATR) and is used to identify trend direction. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it suggests an uptrend, and when below, a downtrend.
Insights:
Trend Following: By adjusting the ATR length (atrPeriod) and the multiplier (factor), you can fine-tune the sensitivity of the Supertrend. A smaller ATR or factor results in more frequent trend changes, whereas larger values make the indicator more robust but slower to react.
Trend Visualization: The script highlights trends with the help of green and red lines, offering a clear visual cue for traders. The uptrend is filled with a translucent green and the downtrend with red, allowing quick identification of market momentum.
⭐ 2. Parabolic SAR (P_SAR):
What it does: The Parabolic SAR is a time/price-based indicator that helps identify potential reversals in the market. The dots (SAR) follow the price and move closer to it as the trend progresses.
Insights:
Trailing Stops: This is commonly used by traders to trail stop losses, as the SAR moves closer to price as the trend strengthens.
Combining with Supertrend: The SAR dots in this script act as an additional confirmation for trend direction. For instance, when the price is above both the SAR and Supertrend, it strongly suggests an uptrend.
⭐ 3. Bar Coloring Based on Trend Confirmation:
What it does: The script calculates conditions based on whether the price is above or below both the Supertrend and SAR values.
Insights:
Bullish/Bearish Confirmation: The combination of these two indicators provides a stronger confirmation of trend direction compared to using either one alone. For example:
Green Bars: If the price is above both the Supertrend and SAR, it signals a strong uptrend (bullish).
Red Bars: If the price is below both, it suggests a strong downtrend (bearish).
Visual Alerts: The candle colors are adjusted based on these conditions, providing a quick visual alert for traders to take action.
⭐ 4. Importance of Using Both Supertrend and P_SAR:
Multiple Confirmations: Combining the Supertrend and Parabolic SAR increases the accuracy of trend-following strategies. Each indicator has its strengths: Supertrend is good for identifying the overall trend, while the SAR excels at identifying potential reversals.
Risk Management: This script can help you not only identify trends but also manage your positions more effectively. The Parabolic SAR, for example, can serve as a dynamic stop-loss level, while the Supertrend can help you stay in trades longer by smoothing out noise in the market.
⭐ 5. Customizable Inputs:
Adaptability: The user can adjust the ATR period, factor, start, increment, and maximum values, tailoring the script to different market conditions and timeframes. This flexibility is essential, as each asset class or market may require different parameter settings.
⭐ 6. Practical Application in Trading:
Entry and Exit Signals: The script can be used to generate entry and exit signals. For instance:
Buy Signal: When the bar turns green (price is above Supertrend and SAR), it could be a signal to go long.
Sell Signal: When the bar turns red (price is below Supertrend and SAR), it could be a signal to go short or exit a long position.
Stop-Loss Placement: The Parabolic SAR dots can act as trailing stop-loss levels, helping traders lock in profits as trends progress.
Trend Continuation vs. Reversal: The Supertrend provides a broader view of the trend, while the Parabolic SAR provides pinpoint entry/exit signals for reversals.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script is a robust combination of trend-following and reversal indicators, making it a versatile tool for traders. The dual confirmation from Supertrend and Parabolic SAR reduces false signals, and the color-coded bars provide quick insights into market conditions. When used properly, this can greatly improve your ability to catch trends early, exit at the right moment, and manage risk effectively.
Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System
### **Overview**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a complex trading indicator designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish imbalances in the market, coupled with a trailing stop mechanism to manage trades. The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.
Targets For Overlay Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Overlay Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets during crossings made between the price and external indicators on the user chart. Users can display a series of two targets, one for crossover events and another one for crossunder event.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
In order for targets to be displayed users need to select an appropriate input source from the "Source" drop-down input setting. In the example above we apply the indicator to a volatility stop.
This can also easily be done by adding the "Targets For Overlay Indicators" script on the VStop indicator directly.
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Examples
The indicator can be applied to many overlay indicators that naturally produce crosses with the price, such as moving average, trailing stops, bands...etc.
Users can use trailing stops such as the SuperTrend or VStop to more easily create clean targets. Do note that certain SuperTrend scripts separate the upper and lower extremities of the SuperTrend into two different plot, which cannot be used with this tool, you may use the provided SuperTrend script below to have a compatible version with our tool:
//@version=5
indicator("SuperTrend", overlay = true)
factor = input.float(3, 'Factor', minval = 0)
atrLen = input.int(10, 'ATR Length', minval = 1)
= ta.supertrend(factor, atrLen)
plot(spt, 'SuperTrend', dir != dir ? na : dir < 0 ? #089981 : #f23645, 2)
plot(spt, 'Circles', dir > dir ? #f23645 : dir < dir ? #089981 : na, 3, plot.style_circles)
Using moving averages can produce more targets than other overlay indicators.
Users can apply the tool twice when using bands or any overlay indicator returning two outputs, using crossover targets for obtaining targets using the upper band as source and crossunder targets for targets using the lower band. We can also use the Trendlines with breaks indicator as example:
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.
🔶 SETTINGS
Source: Indicator source used to create targets. Targets are created when the closing price crosses the specified source.
Show Target Labels: Display target labels on the chart.
Candle Coloring: Apply candle coloring based on the most recent active target.
🔹 Target
Crossover and Crossunder targets use the same settings below:
Show Target: Determines if the target is displayed or not.
Above Price Target: If selected, will create targets above the closing price.
Wait Until Reached: When enabled will not create a new target until an existing one is reached.
New Target When Reached: Will create a new target when an existing one is reached.
Evaluate Wicks: Will use high/low prices to determine if a target is reached. Unselecting this setting will use the closing price.
Target Distance From Price: Controls the distance of a target from the price. Can be determined in currencies/points, percentages, ATR multiples, or ticks.
AI Channels (Clustering) [LuxAlgo]The AI Channels indicator is constructed based on rolling K-means clustering, a common machine learning method used for clustering analysis. These channels allow users to determine the direction of the underlying trends in the price.
We also included an option to display the indicator as a trailing stop from within the settings.
🔶 USAGE
Each channel extremity allows users to determine the current trend direction. Price breaking over the upper extremity suggesting an uptrend, and price breaking below the lower extremity suggesting a downtrend. Using a higher Window Size value will return longer-term indications.
The "Clusters" setting allows users to control how easy it is for the price to break an extremity, with higher values returning extremities further away from the price.
The "Denoise Channels" is enabled by default and allows to see less noisy extremities that are more coherent with the detected trend.
Users who wish to have more focus on a detected trend can display the indicator as a trailing stop.
🔹 Centroid Dispersion Areas
Each extremity is made of one area. The width of each area indicates how spread values within a cluster are around their centroids. A wider area would suggest that prices within a cluster are more spread out around their centroid, as such one could say that it is indicative of the volatility of a cluster.
Wider areas around a specific extremity can indicate a larger and more spread-out amount of prices within the associated cluster. In practice price entering an area has a higher chance to break an associated extremity.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator performs K-means clustering over the most recent Window Size prices, finding a number of user-specified clusters. See here to find more information on cluster detection.
The channel extremities are returned as the centroid of the lowest, average, and highest price clusters.
K-means clustering can be computationally expensive and as such we allow users to determine the maximum number of iterations used to find the centroids as well as the number of most historical bars to perform the indicator calculation. Do note that increasing the calculation window of the indicator as well as the number of clusters will return slower results.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window Size: Amount of most recent prices to use for the calculation of the indicator.
Clusters": Amount of clusters detected for the calculation of the indicator.
Denoise Channels: When enabled, return less noisy channels extremities, disabling this setting will return the exact centroids at each time but will produce less regular extremities.
As Trailing Stop: Display the indicator as a trailing stop.
🔹 Optimization
This group of settings affects the runtime performance of the script.
Maximum Iteration Steps: Maximum number of iterations allowed for finding centroids. Excessively low values can return a better script load time but poor clustering.
Historical Bars Calculation: Calculation window of the script (in bars).
Trend Confirmation StrategyThe profitability and uniqueness of a trading strategy depend on various factors including market conditions, risk management, and the strategy's ability to capitalize on price movements. I'll describe the strategy provided and highlight its potential benefits and differences compared to other strategies:
Strategy Overview:
The provided strategy combines three technical indicators: Supertrend, MACD, and VWAP. It aims to identify potential entry and exit points by confirming trend direction and considering the proximity to the VWAP level. The strategy also incorporates stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms, as well as a trailing stop.
Unique Aspects and Potential Benefits:
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses both Supertrend and MACD to confirm the trend direction. This dual confirmation can increase the likelihood of accurate trend identification and filter out false signals.
VWAP Confirmation: The strategy considers the proximity of the price to the VWAP level. This dynamic level can act as a support or resistance and provide additional context for entry decisions.
Adaptive Stop Loss: The strategy sets a stop-loss range, which helps provide some tolerance for minor price fluctuations. This adaptive approach considers market volatility and helps prevent premature stop-loss triggers.
Trailing Stop: The strategy incorporates a trailing stop mechanism to lock in profits as the trade moves in the desired direction. This can potentially enhance profitability during strong trends.
Partial Profit Booking: While not explicitly implemented in the provided code, you could consider booking partial profits when the MACD shows a crossover in the opposite direction. This aspect could help secure gains while still keeping exposure to potential further price movements.
Key Differences from Other Strategies:
Dual Indicator Confirmation: The combination of Supertrend and MACD for trend confirmation is a unique aspect of this strategy. It adds an extra layer of filtering to enhance the accuracy of entry signals.
Dynamic VWAP: Incorporating the VWAP level into the decision-making process adds a dynamic element to the strategy. VWAP is often used by institutional traders, and its inclusion can provide insights into the market sentiment.
Adaptive Stop Loss and Trailing: The strategy's use of an adaptive stop-loss range and a trailing stop can help manage risk and protect profits more effectively during changing market conditions.
Partial Profit Booking: The suggestion to consider partial profit booking upon MACD crossovers in the opposite direction is a practical approach to secure gains while staying in the trade.
Caution and Considerations:
Backtesting: Before deploying any strategy in real trading, it's crucial to thoroughly backtest it on historical data to understand its performance under various market conditions.
Risk Management: While the strategy has built-in risk management mechanisms, it's essential to carefully manage position sizes and overall portfolio risk.
Market Conditions: No strategy works well in all market conditions. It's important to be flexible and adjust the strategy or refrain from trading during particularly volatile or unpredictable periods.
Continuous Monitoring: Even though the strategy includes automated components, continuous monitoring of the trades and market conditions is necessary.
Adaptability: Markets can change over time. Traders need to be prepared to adapt the strategy as necessary to stay aligned with evolving market dynamics.
MarketStructureLibrary "MarketStructure"
This library contains functions for identifying Lows and Highs in a rule-based way, and deriving useful information from them.
f_simpleLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, but NOT in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
It doesn't have to be "the" high, so don't be confused.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate. In this function they do not, so I'm calling them Simple Lows and Highs.
Simple Highs and Lows, by the above definition, can be useful for entries and stops. Because I intend to use them for stops, I want them all, not just the ones that alternate in strict order.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns boolean values for whether this bar confirms a Simple Low/High, and ints for the bar_index of that Low/High.
f_localLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate, and in this function they do.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns boolean values for whether this bar confirms a Local Low/High, and ints for the bar_index of that Low/High.
f_enhancedSimpleLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, but NOT in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate. In this function they do not, so I'm calling them Simple Lows and Highs.
Simple Highs and Lows, by the above definition, can be useful for entries and stops. Because I intend to use them for trailing stops, I want them all, not just the ones that alternate in strict order.
The difference between this function and f_simpleLowHigh() is that it also tracks the lowest/highest recent level. This level can be useful for trailing stops.
In effect, these are like more "normal" highs and lows that you would pick by eye, but confirmed faster in many cases than by waiting for the low/high of that particular candle to be taken out on close,
because they are instead confirmed by ANY subsequent candle having its low/high exceeded. Hence, I call these Enhanced Simple Lows/Highs.
The levels are taken from the extreme highs/lows, but the bar indexes are given for the candles that were actually used to confirm the Low/High.
This is by design, because it might be misleading to label the extreme, since we didn't use that candle to confirm the Low/High..
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns - boolean values for whether this bar confirms an Enhanced Simple Low/High
ints for the bar_index of that Low/High
floats for the values of the recent high/low levels
floats for the trailing high/low levels (for debug/post-processing)
bools for market structure bias
f_trueLowHigh()
This function finds True Lows and Highs.
A True High is the candle with the highest recent high, which then has its low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for True Lows).
The difference between this and an Enhanced High is that confirmation requires not just any Simple High, but confirmation of the very candle that has the highest high.
Because of this, confirmation is often later, and multiple Simple Highs and Lows can develop within ranges formed by a single big candle without any of them being confirmed. This is by design.
A True High looks like the intuitive "real high" when you look at the chart. True Lows and Highs must alternate.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns - boolean values for whether this bar confirms an Enhanced Simple Low/High
ints for the bar_index of that Low/High
floats for the values of the recent high/low levels
floats for the trailing high/low levels (for debug/post-processing)
bools for market structure bias
My exponential moving averages - Suri's EMAs
It's not an indication of anything here, it's just part of my operating in a simple and summarized way, I hope it helps someone.
Suri's EMA's indicator is nothing more than a set of exponential moving averages (EMA). They are 12, 26, 50 and 200.
Attention to the use of the indicator, it is just an INDICATOR, it should not be taken as the main point of your entry, but to guide you in your entries in favor of the trend, whether intra-day or swing.
Created for clear, monochrome screens. Make your adjustments.
Color condition, candles turn green when their close is above EMA 12 and 26.
Color condition, candles turn red when their close is below EMA 12 and 26.
Condition for colors, MME12,26,50 and 200 will turn green with price working above it.
Condition for colors, MME12, 26, 50 and 200 will turn red with price working below it.
Indication for use in time-frames = 5m, 15m, 60m, 240m. (higher hit rates)
How to use the indicator, MME 12 and 26, are the most important and led you to more entries, but we should not only consider them, we have to analyze the whole context to then make a decision.
Indicator was nicknamed by me by "Pullback Pick", it works in a simple way:
In an uptrend or downtrend, the price usually tends to return in the averages or the averages go up to the price, that being said, it is easy to observe that where the price returns would be a pullback from the last movement, so when returning to the averages, the candle that shows strength in favor of this trend, in the EMA's region, becomes a possible entry, with its stop below or above this "pullback" formed, because the stop goes there, because usually when the price returns on the EMAs they tend to to hold and replay the price in favor of the trend.
My observations:
I like to enter when the price returns to the averages smoothly, without much movement, when it touches the average 12 or 26 it is an entry, but an entry without confirmation, the gain is greater, but the chance of being stopped is higher, I like it when the price is close to the 12 and 26 averages and leaves a small candle or doji on this pullback, my entry goes to the breakout of this candle and the stop behind the candle.
THERE IS NO MIRACLE, THERE IS NO 100% HIT RATE, SO USE STOP.
Aaaaaaaaaa I was forgetting.... and the target???
As it is a trend following setup, it is cool to leave a trailing stop or update the stop as new bottoms or tops are formed.
Targeting in 1v1 is good, setup pays a lot!
Targeting in 2x1 is too good, setup pays well!
Making a target in 3x1 is more than good, setup pays sometimes, then from now on, it depends on where you are entering this "PULLBACK", if it is in the first wave, in the second, if you are going to lateralize, the market is SOVEREIGN, put in the pocket that is no longer on the market, oh it's yours!
That's it, doubts, send it there, suggestion, opinion, whatever you want.
Added a symbol at the crossing of the 12 and 26 moving averages.
I am so sorry, but i dont speak english, use google translate.

Não se trata de indicação de nada aqui, é apenas parte do meu operacional de maneira simples e resumida, espero que ajude alguém.
Indicador Suri's EMA's, nada mais é do que um conjunto de médias móveis exponenciais(MME). São elas 12, 26, 50 e 200.
Atenção para o uso do indicador, ele é apenas um INDICADOR, não deve ser tomado como o ponto principal de sua entrada, mas sim de te balizar nas suas entradas a favor da tendência, seja ela intra-day ou swing.
Criado para telas claras e monocromáticas. Façam seus ajustes.
Condição para as cores, candles ficam verdes quando o fechamento dele é acima das MME 12 e 26.
Condição para as cores, candles ficam vermelhos quando o fechamento dele é abaixo das MME 12 e 26.
Condição para as cores, MME12,26,50 e 200 ficará verde com preço trabalhando acima dela.
Condição para as cores, MME12, 26, 50 e 200 ficará vermelho com preço trabalhando abaixo dela.
Indicação para uso nos time-frame = 5m, 15m, 60m, 240m.(taxas de acerto maior)
Como utilizar o indicador, MME 12 e 26, são as mais importantes e te levaram a mais entradas, porém não devemos levar apenas elas em consideração, temos que analisar todo o contexto para então tomar decisão.
Indicador foi apelidado por mim por " Pega Pullback", ele funciona de uma maneira simples:
Em tendência de alta ou de baixa, o preço geralmente tende a retornar nas médias ou as médias irem até o preço, dito isso é fácil de se observar que onde o preço retorna seria um pullback do último movimento, portanto ao retornar nas médias, o candle que mostra força a favor dessa tendência, na região das EMA's, se torna uma possível entrada, com o seu stop abaixo ou acima desse "pullback" formado, porque o stop vai nesse local, porque geralmente quando o preço retorna nas EMAs elas tendem a segurar e voltar a jogar o preço a favor da tendência.
Minhas observações:
Eu gosto de entrar quando o preço retorna nas médias de maneira suave, sem muito movimento, quando toca na média 12 ou 26 é uma entrada, porém uma entrada sem confirmação, o ganho é maior, porém a chance de ser stopado é mais alta, eu gosto quando o preço fica perto das médias 12 e 26 e deixa um candle pequeno ou doji nesse pullback, minha entrada vai no rompimento desse candle e o stop atrás do candle.
Não existe MILAGRE, NÃO EXISTE TAXA DE ACERTO DE 100%, POR ISSO USE STOP.
Aaaaaaaaaa ia me esquecendo.... e o alvo???
Por ser um setup seguidor de tendência, o legal é deixar um trailing stop ou ir atualizando o stop conforme novos fundos ou topos são formados.
Realizar alvo no 1x1 é bom, setup paga muito!
Realizar alvo no 2x1 é bom de mais, setup paga bem!
Realizar alvo no 3x1 é mais do que bom, setup paga as vezes, ai daqui pra frente, depende de onde você está entrando nesse "PULLBACK", se é na primeira onda, na segunda, se vai lateralizar, o mercado é SOBERANO, põe no bolso que não é mais do mercado, ai é teu!
É isso, dúvidas, manda ai, sugestão, opinião, o que quiser.
Adicionado um símbolo no cruzamento das médias móveis 12 e 26.

Supertrend - Ladder ATRThis is a supertrend with slight twisted concept which can be very benefecial in strong trending markets to reduce stop loss distance and exit slightly quicker.
⬜ Concept
▶ When the instrument is trending up, regular ATR shows high values if there are big green candles. This affect the stoploss distance in regular supertrend which leads to wide stops or delayed lagging. When you are in long trade, what matters for stoploss is how much a negative candle can move within bar. Hence, using ATR derived only based on red candles is more beneficial for trailing stops on long signals. Same applies to short trades where using ATR derived from only green candles is more efficient than overall ATR.
▶ ATR will be minimal when the volatility is less and ATR will increase with volatility. That means, once you are in trade, the trailing of stoploss also will vary based on ATR (or volatility). With regular ATR and supertrend, chances of stop loss distance widening is high with increased volatility even though stoploss levels will not move down. This again poses the risk of higher drawdown during trade closure and also keeps in the trade during ranging market. To avoid this, the second trick we are using here is only to reduce the atr stoploss difference when in trade. That is, when in long trade and negative candles ATR is increasing, we will not consider that. We will consider the new ATR only if it is lesser than previous bar ATR.
Effect of these changes on the trending market is quite visual. Lets take example of USDTRY
Settings are quite simple and does not vary much from regular supertrend settings.
Tiger's Stop - Objective Stoploss SettingTrading is a lot about risk management too. I created this script to help with setting and moving a proper stop-loss. It plots an area that is a result of adding and subtracting both average true range and something I call "false range".
►The Average True Range is calculated as the candle's high-low. If there is a gap, it is added to complete the result.
►My own False Range just candle bodies. It is calculated as an absolute value of (close-open).
Then, Rolling Moving Average is applied on both ATR and False Range to get an idea of how far the price tends to extend out of pure randomness. The resulting value is multiplied by a Multiplier.
The next step is an addition of the values to the higher part of the candle for short or a lower part of the candle for long. I prefer a special calculation instead of using Highs and Lows because it allows for more precise observation and stop-loss set up for less wicky symbols.
►►►Additional Functions
• Smoothing - applies moving average to candles from which range distance is calculated. This can achieve good smoothness but higher values will lead to using outdated price in the SL area calculation.
• Enable/Disable - if you know the direction you are going to trade in, it is good to disable either Long Stop-Loss Area or Short Stop-Loss Area. Just untick it in the settings.
►►►Actual Using
Before using the script to set your stop-loss, check the historical data and find a similar set-up. Is it engulfing you use as a trigger? Find a different one and see how effective the stop-loss based on the ATR*multiplier was. This will help you to optimize Multiplier value. A picture shows such research for a double top. You should find more similar situations to find an optimal value.
Ultimately, the indicator still gives you relatively a lot of freedom with your stop-loss settings (at least, that is with the default settings). You need to decide how loose stop-loss you want to set. Average True Range is the furthermost part which will make for a very large stop-loss, on the other hand, False Range might be triggered by a villainous wick unnecessarily. The choice should depend on the specific symbol you trade and perhaps, you will learn to set stops regardless of the indicator.
A little trick : 1. You can set the loosest stop-loss and set a TradingView alert for where the tightest stop-loss would be. When alerted, you will get the opportunity to reconsider the trade and take a loss if needs be or exit if a candle closes there. 2. Mostly for cryptocurrencies, you can set the tightest stop-loss to protect yourself from sudden spikes. If the price approaches it slowly enough, you can move the stop-loss to the further part of the channel. This is not the same as moving stop-loss indefinitely with hopes of reversal if you plan it from the beginning and a smaller stop is meant to protect you from spikes that are not always predictable and drive to both directions.
►►►Advantages of trailing stop-loss
I usually stick with my original stop-loss instead of moving to break even. If my entry area was functional support once, it may work again and is, therefore, still a good entry zone. But an alternative used to preserve as much of the profit as possible is trailing.
Trailing is setting a specific value in ticks or a calculation of how to move the stop-loss whenever the price moves in your favor. Tiger's Stop can be used this way. Whenever there is a new value as the candle closes and that value is closer to price than your current stop-loss, you can update it. However, if it moves further from your price, don't change the stop-loss. This can be a little tiresome if you do it manually but should be worth the effort.
I usually start trailing only after the price moves significantly in my favor that allowing it to return to the entry price would not make any sense.
►►►Feedback and optimization
The preview chart is chosen entirely at random and the values are not optimized for any specific symbol. If you opt to use it, let me know which values work for you the best, I'll add it to the description when I update it.
Furthermore, let me know if you think any sort of alerts would be useful with my script.
Good luck!
ATR Stoploss Lines - Minimize Risk | Maximize ProfitThe ATR Stoploss is best used as a trailing stop. While actively managing your trades, move your stops up as price increases/decreases.
There is an offset of 1 candle, so the ATR will only be based on closed candles. This prevents you from moving your stop's when you really shouldn't.
The top lines are used for short positions and the bottom lines are used for long positions.
You can adjust the distance of the ATR lines from your candles by changing the multiplier in the settings.
You may want to increase the multiplier to 2-3 on less volatile assets, and keep it ~1.75 for volatile assets like BTC.
Feel free to reach out if you need any tips or more help with using these. Just remember, this indicator should only be used to manage your trades, not enter them.
Adaptive CE-VWAP Breakout Framework [KedArc Quant]Description
A structured framework that unites three complementary systems into one charting engine:
Chandelier Exit (CE) – ATR-based trailing logic that defines trend direction, stop placement, and risk/reward overlays.
Swing-Anchored VWAP (SWAV) – a dynamically anchored VWAP that re-starts from each confirmed swing and adapts its smoothness to volatility.
Pivot S/R with Volume Breaks – confirmed horizontal levels with alerts when broken on expanding volume.
This script builds a single workflow for bias → trigger → managementwithout mixing unrelated indicators. Each module is internally linked rather than layered cosmetically, making it a true analytical framework—not.
Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP by Zeiierman, whose swing-anchoring concept inspired a part of the SWAV module’s implementation and adaptation logic.
Support and Resistance Levels with Breaks by LuxAlgo for S/R breakout logic.
How this helps traders
Trend clarity – CE color-codes direction and provides evolving stops.
Context value – SWAV traces adaptive mean paths so traders see where price is heavy or light.
Action filter – Pivot+volume logic highlights true structural breaks, filtering false moves.
Discipline tool – Optional R:R boxes visualize risk and target zones to enforce planning.
Entry / Exit guidelines (for study purposes only)
Bias Use CE direction: green = long bias red = short bias
Entry
1. Breakout method– Trade in CE direction when a pivot level breaks on valid volume.
2. VWAP confirmation– Prefer breaks occurring around the nearest SWAV path (fair-value cross or re-test).
Exit
Stop = CE line / recent swing HL / ATR × (multiplier)
Target = R-multiple × risk (default 2 R)
Optional live update keeps SL/TP aligned with current CE state.
Core formula concepts
ATR Stop: Stop = High/Low – ATR × multiplier
VWAP calc: Σ(price × vol) / Σ(vol) anchored at swing pivot, adapted by APT (Adaptive Price Tracking) ratio ∝ ATR volatility.
Volume oscillator: 100 × (EMA₅ – EMA₁₀)/EMA₁₀; valid break when threshold %.

Realtime Squeeze Box [CHE] Realtime Squeeze Box — Detects lowvolatility consolidation periods and draws trimmed price range boxes in realtime to highlight potential breakout setups without clutter from outliers.
Summary
This indicator identifies "squeeze" phases where recent price volatility falls below a dynamic baseline threshold, signaling potential energy buildup for directional moves. By requiring a minimum number of consecutive bars in squeeze, it reduces noise from fleeting dips, making signals more reliable than simple threshold crosses. The core innovation is realtime box visualization: during active squeezes, it builds and updates a box capturing the price range while ignoring extreme values via quantile trimming, providing a cleaner view of consolidation bounds. This differs from static volatility bands by focusing on trimmed ranges and suppressing overlapping boxes, which helps traders spot genuine setups amid choppy markets. Overall, it aids in anticipating breakouts by combining volatility filtering with visual containment of price action.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face whipsaws during brief volatility lulls that mimic true consolidations, leading to premature entries, or miss setups because standard volatility measures lag in adapting to changing market regimes. This design addresses that by using a hold requirement on consecutive lowvolatility bars to denoise signals, ensuring only sustained squeezes trigger visuals. The core idea—comparing rolling standard deviation to a smoothed baseline—creates a responsive yet stable filter for lowenergy periods, while the trimmed box approach isolates the core price cluster, making it easier to gauge breakout potential without distortion from spikes.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional squeeze indicators like the Bollinger Band Squeeze or TTM Squeeze rely on fixed multiples of bands or momentum oscillators crossing zero, which can fire on isolated bars or ignore range compression nuances.
Architecture differences:
Realtime box construction that updates barbybar during squeezes, using arrays to track and trim price values.
Quantilebased outlier rejection to define box bounds, focusing on the bulk of prices rather than full range.
Overlap suppression logic that skips redundant boxes if the new range intersects heavily with the prior one.
Hold counter for consecutive bar validation, adding persistence before signaling.
Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more defined orange boxes encapsulating tight price action, with a horizontal line extension marking the midpoint postsqueeze—visibly reducing clutter in sideways markets and highlighting "coiled" ranges that standard plots might blur with full highs/lows. This matters for quicker visual scanning of multitimeframe setups, as boxes selflimit to recent history and avoid piling up.
How it works (technical)
The indicator starts by computing a rolling average and standard deviation over a userdefined length on the chosen source price series. This deviation measure is then smoothed into a baseline using either a simple or exponential average over a longer window, serving as a reference for normal volatility. A squeeze triggers when the current deviation dips below this baseline scaled by a multiplier less than one, but only after a minimum number of consecutive bars confirm it, which resets the counter on breaks.
Upon squeeze start, it clears a buffer and begins collecting source prices barbybar, limited to the first few bars to keep computation light. For visualization, if enabled, it sorts the buffer and finds a quantile threshold, then identifies the minimum value at or below that threshold to set upper and lower box bounds—effectively clamping the range to exclude tails above the quantile. The box draws from the start bar to the current one, updating its right edge and levels dynamically; if the new bounds overlap significantly with the last completed box, it suppresses drawing to avoid redundancy.
Once the hold limit or squeeze ends, the box freezes: its final bounds become the last reference, a midpoint line extends rightward from the end, and a tiny circle label marks the point. Buffers and states reset on new squeezes, with historical boxes and lines capped to prevent overload. All logic runs on every bar but uses confirmed historical data for calculations, with realtime updates only affecting the active box's position—no future peeking occurs. Initialization seeds with null values, building states progressively from the first bars.
Parameter Guide
Source: Selects the price series (e.g., close, hl2) for deviation and box building; influences sensitivity to wicks or bodies. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use hl2 for balanced range view in volatile assets; stick to close for pure directional focus—test on your timeframe to avoid oversmoothing trends.
Length (Mean/SD): Sets window for average and deviation calculation; shorter values make detection quicker but noisier. Default: 20. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 30+ for stability in higher timeframes, reducing false starts; below 10 risks overreacting to singlebar noise.
Baseline Length: Defines smoothing window for the deviation baseline; longer periods create a steadier reference, filtering regime shifts. Default: 50. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with Length at 1:2 ratio for calm markets; shorten to 30 if baselines lag during fast volatility drops, but watch for added whips.
Squeeze Multiplier (<1.0): Scales the baseline downward to set the squeeze threshold; lower values tighten criteria for rarer, stronger signals. Default: 0.8. Tradeoffs/Tips: Tighten to 0.6 for highvol assets like crypto to cut noise; loosen to 0.9 in forex for more frequent but shallower setups—balances hit rate vs. depth.
Baseline via EMA (instead of SMA): Switches baseline smoothing to exponential for faster adaptation to recent changes vs. equalweighted simple average. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable in trending markets for quicker baseline drops; disable for uniform history weighting in rangebound conditions to avoid overreacting.
SD: Sample (len1) instead of Population (len): Adjusts deviation formula to divide by length minus one for smallsample bias correction, slightly inflating values. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Use sample in short windows (<20) for more conservative thresholds; population suits long looks where bias is negligible, keeping signals tighter.
Min. Hold Bars in Squeeze: Requires this many consecutive squeeze bars before confirming; higher denoise but may clip early setups. Default: 1. Tradeoffs/Tips: Bump to 35 for intraday to filter ticks; keep at 1 for swings where quick consolidations matter—trades off timeliness for reliability.
Debug: Plot SD & Threshold: Toggles lines showing raw deviation and threshold for visual backtesting of squeeze logic. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Enable during tuning to eyeball crossovers; disable live to declutter—great for verifying multiplier impact without alerts.
Tint Bars when Squeeze Active: Overlays semitransparent color on bars during open box phases for quick squeeze spotting. Default: false. Tradeoffs/Tips: Pair with low opacity for subtlety; turn off if using boxes alone, as tint can obscure candlesticks in dense charts.
Tint Opacity (0..100): Controls background tint strength during active squeezes; higher values darken for emphasis. Default: 85. Tradeoffs/Tips: Dial to 60 for light touch; max at 100 risks hiding price action—adjust per chart theme for visibility.
Stored Price (during Squeeze): Price series captured in the buffer for box bounds; defaults to source but allows customization. Default: close. Tradeoffs/Tips: Switch to high/low for wider boxes in gappy markets; keep close for midline focus—impacts trim effectiveness on outliers.
Quantile q (0..1): Fraction of sorted prices below which tails are cut; higher q keeps more data but risks including spikes. Default: 0.718. Tradeoffs/Tips: Lower to 0.5 for aggressive trim in noisy assets; raise to 0.8 for fuller ranges—tune via debug to match your consolidation depth.
Box Fill Color: Sets interior shade of squeeze boxes; semitransparent for layering. Default: orange (80% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Soften with more transparency in multiindicator setups; bold for standalone use—ensures boxes pop without overwhelming.
Box Border Color: Defines outline hue and solidity for box edges. Default: orange (0% trans.). Tradeoffs/Tips: Match fill for cohesion or contrast for edges; thin width keeps it clean—helps delineate bounds in zoomed views.
Keep Last N Boxes: Limits historical boxes/lines/labels to this count, deleting oldest for performance. Default: 10. Tradeoffs/Tips: Increase to 50 for weekly reviews; set to 0 for unlimited (risks lag)—balances history vs. speed on long charts.
Draw Box in Realtime (build/update): Enables live extension of boxes during squeezes vs. waiting for end. Default: true. Tradeoffs/Tips: Disable for confirmedonly views to mimic backtests; enable for proactive trading—adds minor repaint on live bars.
Box: Max First N Bars: Caps buffer collection to initial squeeze bars, freezing after for efficiency. Default: 15. Tradeoffs/Tips: Shorten to 510 for fast intraday; extend to 20 in dailies—prevents bloated arrays but may truncate long squeezes.
Reading & Interpretation
Squeeze phases appear as orange boxes encapsulating the trimmed price cluster during lowvolatility holds—narrow boxes signal tight consolidations, while wider ones indicate looser ranges within the threshold. The box's top and bottom represent the quantilecapped high and low of collected prices, with the interior fill shading the containment zone; ignore extremes outside for "true" bounds. Postsqueeze, a solid horizontal line extends right from the box's midpoint, acting as a reference level for potential breakout tests—drifting prices toward or away from it can hint at building momentum. Tiny orange circles at the line's start mark completion points for easy scanning. Debug lines (if on) show deviation hugging or crossing the threshold, confirming hold logic; a persistent hug below suggests prolonged calm, while spikes above reset counters.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long on squeezeend close above the box top (or midpoint line) confirmed by higher high in structure; filter with rising 50period average to avoid countertrend traps. Use boxes as support/resistance proxies—short below bottom in downtrends.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to the box midpoint during postsqueeze runs for conservative holds; go aggressive by exiting on retest of opposite box side. If debug shows repeated threshold grazes, tighten stops to curb drawdowns in ranging followups.
Multiasset/MultiTF: Defaults work across stocks, forex, and crypto on 15min+ frames; scale Length proportionally (e.g., x2 on hourly). Layer with highertimeframe boxes for confluence—e.g., daily squeeze + 1H box for entry timing. (Unknown/Optional: Specific multiTF scaling recipes beyond proportional adjustment.)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Core calculations use historical closes, confirming on bar close; active boxes repaint their right edge and levels live during squeezes if enabled, but freeze irrevocably on hold limit or end—mitigates via barbybar buffer adds without future leaks. No lookahead indexes.
security()/HTF: None used, so no external timeframe repaints; all native to chart resolution.
Resources: Caps at 300 boxes/lines/labels total; small arrays (up to 20 elements) and short loops in sorting/minfinding keep it light—suitable for 10k+ bar charts without throttling. Persistent variables track state across bars efficiently.
Known limits: May lag on ultrasharp volatility spikes due to baseline smoothing; gaps or thin markets can skew trims if buffer hits cap early; overlaps suppress visuals but might hide chained squeezes—(Unknown/Optional: Edge cases in nonstandard sessions).
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for most liquid assets on 1Hdaily: Length 20, Multiplier 0.8, Hold 1, Quantile 0.718—yields balanced detection without excess noise. For too many false starts (choppy charts), increase Hold to 3 and Baseline Length to 70 for stricter confirmation, reducing signals by 3050%. If squeezes feel sluggish or miss quick coils, shorten Length to 14 and enable EMA baseline for snappier adaptation, but monitor for added flips. In highvol environments like options, tighten Multiplier to 0.6 and Quantile to 0.6 to focus on core ranges; reverse for calm pairs by loosening to 0.95. Always backtest tweaks on your asset's history.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a volatilityfiltered visualization tool for spotting and bounding consolidation phases, best as a signal layer atop price action and trend filters—not a standalone predictor of direction or strength. It highlights setups but ignores volume, momentum, or news context, so pair with discreteness rules like higher highs/lows. Never use it alone for entries; always layer risk management, such as 12% stops beyond box extremes, and position sizing based on account drawdown tolerance.
