Channels Strategy [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This strategy is based on Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channel price "rebounds" (the idea of price bouncing from one band to another).
The strategy has several customizable options, which allows you to refine the strategy for your asset and timeframe.
You can customize settings for ALL indicators, Bollinger Bands (period and standard deviation), Keltner Channel (period and ATR multiplier) and ATR (period).
- AVAILABLE INDICATORS:
You can pick Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels for the strategy, the chosen indicator will be plotted as well.
- CUSTOM CONDITIONS TO ENTER A POSITION:
1. Price breaks the band (low below lower band for LONG or high above higher band for SHORT).
2. Same as 1 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
3. Price breaks the band AND CLOSES OUT of the band (lower band for LONG and higher band for SHORT).
4. Same as 3 but THEN (next candle) price closes INSIDE the bands.
- STOP LOSS OPTIONS:
1. Previous wick (low of previous candle if LONG and high or previous candle if SHORT).
2. Extended band, you can customize settings for a second indicator with larger values to use it as STOP LOSS, for example, Bollinger Bands with 2 standard deviations to open positions and 3 for STOP LOSS.
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate STOP LOSS.
- TAKE PROFIT OPTIONS:
1. Opposite band (top band for LONGs, bottom band for SHORTs).
2. Moving average: Bollinger Bands simple moving average or Keltner Channel exponential moving average .
3. ATR: you can pick average true ratio from a source (like closing price) with a multiplier to calculate TAKE PROFIT.
- OTHER OPTIONS:
You can pick to trade only LONGs, only SHORTs, both or none (just indicator).
You can enable DYNAMIC TAKE PROFIT, which updates TAKE PROFIT on each candle, for example, if you pick "opposite band" as TAKE PROFIT, it'll update the TAKE PROFIT based on that, on every single new candle.
- Visual:
Bands shown will depend on the chosen indicator and it's settings.
ATR is only printed if used as STOP LOSS and/or TAKE PROFIT.
- Recommendations:
Recommended on DAILY timeframe , it works better with Keltner Channels rather than Bollinger Bands .
- Customization:
As you can see, almost everything is customizable, for colors and plotting styles check the "Style" tab.
Enjoy!

- Descripción:
Esta estrategia se basa en los "rebotes" de precios en las Bandas de Bollinger / Canal de Keltner (la idea de que el precio rebote de una banda a otra).
La estrategia tiene varias opciones personalizables, lo que le permite refinar la estrategia para su activo y temporalidad favoritas.
Puedes personalizar la configuración de TODOS los indicadores, Bandas de Bollinger (periodo y desviación estándar), Canal de Keltner (periodo y multiplicador ATR) y ATR (periodo).
- INDICADORES DISPONIBLES:
Puedes elegir las Bandas de Bollinger o los Canales de Keltner para la estrategia, el indicador elegido será mostrado en pantalla.
- CONDICIONES PERSONALIZADAS PARA ENTRAR EN UNA POSICIÓN:
1. El precio rompe la banda (mínimo por debajo de la banda inferior para LONG o máximo por encima de la banda superior para SHORT).
2. Lo mismo que en el punto 1 pero ADEMÁS (en la siguiente vela) el precio cierra DENTRO de las bandas.
3. El precio rompe la banda Y CIERRA FUERA de la banda (banda inferior para LONG y banda superior para SHORT).
4. Igual que el 3 pero ADEMÁS (siguiente vela) el precio cierra DENTRO de las bandas.
- OPCIONES DE STOP LOSS:
1. Mecha anterior (mínimo de la vela anterior si es LONGy máximo de la vela anterior si es SHORT).
2. Banda extendida, puedes personalizar la configuración de un segundo indicador con valores más extensos para utilizarlo como STOP LOSS, por ejemplo, Bandas de Bollinger con 2 desviaciones estándar para abrir posiciones y 3 para STOP LOSS.
3. ATR: puedes elegir el average true ratio de una fuente (como el precio de cierre) con un multiplicador para calcular el STOP LOSS.
- OPCIONES DE TAKE PROFIT:
1. Banda opuesta (banda superior para LONGs, banda inferior para SHORTs).
2. Media móvil: media móvil simple de las Bandas de Bollinger o media móvil exponencial del Canal de Keltner .
3. ATR: se puede escoger el average true ratio de una fuente (como el precio de cierre) con un multiplicador para calcular el TAKE PROFIT.
- OTRAS OPCIONES:
Puedes elegir operar sólo con LONGs, sólo con SHORTs, ambos o ninguno (sólo el indicador).
Puedes activar el TAKE PROFIT DINÁMICO, que actualiza el TAKE PROFIT en cada vela, por ejemplo, si eliges "banda opuesta" como TAKE PROFIT, actualizará el TAKE PROFIT basado en eso, en cada nueva vela.
- Visual:
Las bandas mostradas dependerán del indicador elegido y de su configuración.
El ATR sólo se muestra si se utiliza como STOP LOSS y/o TAKE PROFIT.
- Recomendaciones:
Recomendada para temporalidad de DIARIO, funciona mejor con los Canales de Keltner que con las Bandas de Bollinger .
- Personalización:
Como puedes ver, casi todo es personalizable, para los colores y estilos de dibujo comprueba la pestaña "Estilo".

Short Swing Bearish MACD Cross (By Coinrule)This strategy is oriented towards shorting during downside moves, whilst ensuring the asset is trading in a higher timeframe downtrend, and exiting after further downside.
This script can work well on coins you are planning to hodl for long-term and works especially well whilst using an automated bot that can execute your trades for you. It allows you to hedge your investment by allocating a % of your coins to trade with, whilst not risking your entire holding. This mitigates unrealised losses from hodling as it provides additional cash from the profits made. You can then choose to hodl this cash, or use it to reinvest when the market reaches attractive buying levels. Alternatively, you can use this when trading contracts on futures markets where there is no need to already own the underlying asset prior to shorting it.
ENTRY
This script utilises the MACD indicator accompanied by the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 450 to enter trades. The MACD is a trend following momentum indicator and provides identification of short-term trend direction. In this variation it utilises the 11-period as the fast and 26-period as the slow length EMAs, with signal smoothing set at 9.
The EMA 450 is used as additional confirmation to prevent the script from shorting when price is above this long-term moving average. Once price is above the EMA 450 the script will not open any shorts - preventing the rule from attempting to short uptrends. Due to this, this strategy is ideal for setting and forgetting.
The script will enter trades based on two conditions:
1) When the MACD signals a bearish cross. This occurs when the EMA 11 crosses below the EMA 26 within the MACD signalling the start of a potential downtrend.
2) Price has closed below the EMA 450. Price closing below this long-term EMA signals that the asset is in a sustained downtrend. Price breaking above this could indicate a bullish strength in which shorting would not be profitable.
EXIT
This script utilises a set take-profit and stop-loss from the entry of the trade. The take profit is set at 8% and the stop loss of 4%, providing a risk reward ratio of 2. This indicates the script will be profitable if it has a win ratio greater than 33%.
Take-Profit Exit: -8% price decrease from entry price.
OR
Stop-Loss Exit: +4% price increase from entry price.
Based on backtesting results across a selection of assets, the 45-minute and 1-hour timeframes are the best for this strategy.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
The backtesting data was recorded from December 1st 2021, just as the market was beginning its downtrend. We therefore recommend analysing the market conditions prior to utilising this strategy as it operates best on weak coins during downtrends and bearish conditions, however the EMA 450 condition should mitigate entries during bullish market conditions.
Scalping Dips On Trend (by Coinrule)Coinrule's Community is an excellent source of inspiration for our trading strategies.
In these months of Bull Market, our traders opted mostly on buy-the-dips strategies, which resulted in great returns recently. But there has been an element that turned out to be the cause for deep division among the Community.
Is it advisable or not to use a stop-loss during a Bull Market?
This strategy comes with a large stop-loss to offer a safer alternative for those that are not used to trade with a downside protection.
Entry
The strategy buys only when the price is above the Moving Average 50 , making it less risky to buy the dip, which is set to 2%.
The preferred time frame is 1-hour.
The stop-loss is set to be quite loose to increase the chances of closing the trade in profit, yet protecting from unexpected larger drawdowns that could undermine the allocation's liquidity.
Exit
Stop loss: 10%
Take Profit: 3%
In times of Bull Market, such a trading system has a very high percentage of trades closed in profit (ranging between 70% to 80%), which makes it still overall profitable to have a stop-loss three times larger than the take profit.
Pro tip: use a larger stop-loss only when you expect to close in profit most of the trades!
The strategy assumes each order to trade 30% of the available capital and opens a trade at a time. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account.
Pinescript v4 - The Holy Grail (Trailing Stop)After studying several other scripts, I believe I have found the Holy Grail! (Or perhaps I've just found a bug with Tradingview's Pinescript v4 language) Anyhow, I'm publishing this script in the hope that someone smarter than myself could shed some light on the fact that adding a trailing stop to any strategy seems to make it miraculously...no that's an understatement...incredulously, stupendously, mind-bendingly profitable. I'm talking about INSANE profit factors, higher than 200x, with drawdowns of <10%. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe it is...or you could hook it up to your LIVE broker, and pray it doesn't explode. This is an upgraded version of my original Pin Bar Strategy.
Recommended Chart Settings:
Asset Class: Forex
Time Frame: H1
Long Entry Conditions:
a) Exponential Moving Average Fan up trend
b) Presence of a Bullish Pin Bar
c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan
Short Entry Conditions:
a) Exponential Moving Average down trend
b) Presence of a Bearish Pin Bar
c) Pin Bar pierces the Exponential Moving Average Fan
Exit Conditions:
a) Trailing stop is hit
b) Moving Averages cross-back (optional)
c) It's the weekend
Default Robot Settings:
Equity Risk (%): 3 //how much account balance to risk per trade
Stop Loss (x*ATR, Float): 0.5 //stoploss = x * ATR, you can change x
Stop Loss Trail Points (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works
Stop Loss Trail Offset (Pips): 1 //the magic sauce, not sure how this works
Slow SMA (Period): 50 //slow moving average period
Medium EMA (Period): 18 //medium exponential moving average period
Fast EMA (Period): 6 //fast exponential moving average period
ATR (Period): 14 // average true range period
Cancel Entry After X Bars (Period): 3 //cancel the order after x bars not triggered, you can change x
Backtest Results (2019 to 2020, H1, Default Settings):
AUDUSD - 1604% profit, 239.6 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown (INSANE)
NZDUSD - 1688.7% profit, 100.3 profit factor, 2.5% drawdown
GBPUSD - 1168.8% profit, 98.7 profit factor, 0% drawdown
USDJPY - 900.7% profit, 93.7 profit factor, 4.9% drawdown
USDCAD - 819% profit, 31.7 profit factor, 8.1% drawdown
EURUSD - 685.6% profit, 26.8 profit factor, 5.9% drawdown
USDCHF - 1008% profit, 18.7 profit factor, 8.6% drawdown
GBPJPY - 1173.4% profit, 16.1 profit factor, 7.9% drawdown
EURAUD - 613.3% profit, 14.4 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown
AUDJPY - 1619% profit, 11.26 profit factor, 9.1% drawdown
EURJPY - 897.2% profit, 6 profit factor, 13.8% drawdown
EURGBP - 608.9% profit, 5.3 profit factor, 9.8% drawdown (NOT TOO SHABBY)
As you can clearly see above, this forex robot is projected by the Tradingview backtester to be INSANELY profitable for all common forex pairs. So what was the difference between this strategy and my previous strategies? Check my code and look for "trail_points" and "trail_offset"; you can even look them up in the PineScript v4 documentation. They specify a trailing stop as the exit condition, which automatically closes the trade if price reverses against you.
I however suspect that the backtester is not properly calculating intra-bar price movement, and is using a simplified model. With this simplfied approach, the trailing stop code becomes some sort of "holy grail" generator, making every trade entered profitable.
Risk Warning:
This is a forex trading strategy that involves high risk of equity loss, and backtest performance will not equal future results. You agree to use this script at your own risk.
Hint:
To get more realistic results, and *maybe* overcome the intrabar simulation error, change the settings to: "Stop Loss Trail Points (pips)": 100
I am not sure if this eradicates the bug, but the entries and exits look more proper, and the profit factors are more believable.
Low volatility Buy w/ TP & SL (Coinrule)The compression of volatility usually leads to expansion. When the breakout comes, it can ignite strong trends. One way to catch a coin trading in an accumulation area is to spot three moving averages with values close to each other. The strategy uses a combination of Moving Averages to spot the best time to buy a coin before its breakout.
Buy Condition
The MA200 is greater than the MA100
The MA50 is greater than the MA100
According to backtesting results, the 1-hour time frame is the best to run this strategy.
Sell Condition
Take Profit: the price increases 8% from the entry price
Stop Loss: the price drops 4% from the entry price
The strategy has a profitability of 40-60% (depending on the market conditions). Having a ratio of two between Take profit and Stop Loss helps keeping the strategy profitable in the long term.
EstongA* Bot Alerts ProV1*Here’s a consolidated list of warnings and advice for traders, whether you're just starting or are experienced:
⚠️ Critical Warnings
1. You can lose all your capital – Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
2. Avoid leverage until you fully understand it – Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Many traders get wiped out by over-leveraging.
3. Beware of "guaranteed profit" systems – If it sounds too good to be true, it is. No strategy works all the time.
4. Emotional trading is a career killer – Fear, greed, and revenge trading destroy accounts.
5. Don’t follow tips or "hot leads" blindly – Do your own analysis. Many influencers are secretly unloading positions onto followers.
📚 Essential Advice
Mindset & Psychology
• Treat trading like a business, not gambling. Have a plan for every trade.
• Develop patience – Wait for high-probability setups; don’t force trades.
• Accept losses as part of the game – Even the best traders have losing streaks. The key is risk management.
• Keep a trading journal – Record every trade: entry/exit reasoning, emotional state, outcome. Review weekly.
Risk Management (Non-Negotiable)
• Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade – This protects you from ruin during a losing streak.
• Always use stop-losses – Decide your stop-loss BEFORE entering a trade.
• Never add to a losing position ("averaging down") – This is how small losses become catastrophes.
• Have a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:2 – Aim for potential profit to be at least double your potential loss.
Strategy & Education
• Master one market/strategy at a time – Don’t jump between forex, stocks, crypto, and options simultaneously.
• Backtest and forward-test any strategy before using real money.
• Understand market context – Are you in a trending or ranging market? Adjust your strategy accordingly.
• Continuously educate yourself – Markets evolve. Stay updated, but avoid constantly switching strategies.
Practical Habits
• Start with a demo account – Prove you can be consistently profitable before using real money.
• When moving to real money, start small – The psychology changes with real money on the line.
• Set trading hours and stick to them – Avoid overtrading and burnout.
• Regularly withdraw profits – Secure gains and reinforce the reality of your earnings.
🚨 Red Flags in Yourself
• Chasing losses – Trying to immediately recoup a loss leads to bigger losses.
• Overconfidence after wins – Leads to taking oversized, reckless trades.
• Ignoring your trading plan – If you’re making exceptions, you don’t have a plan.
• Blaming the market or others – You are responsible for every trade. Take ownership.
🔍 Choosing a Broker/Platform
• Regulation is crucial – Ensure they are licensed by a reputable authority (FCA, SEC, ASIC, etc.).
• Understand all fees – Spreads, commissions, overnight financing, withdrawal fees.
• Test customer support – You need them in a crisis.
• Start with a well-known, established broker – Avoid obscure platforms with offers that seem too good.
💡 Final Wisdom
• Preservation of capital is more important than making profits. Survive to trade another day.
• The market will always be there – Missing an opportunity is better than taking a bad trade.
• Trading is a marathon of consistency, not a sprint for mega-returns.
• If you're consistently losing, stop, step back, and re-evaluate. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
Remember, approximately 90% of retail traders lose money. To be in the successful 10%, you need discipline, continuous learning, and emotional control more than a "perfect" strategy. Good luck.
FADE GIGA CANDLE STRAT# 🔥 FADE GIGA CANDLE STRATEGY
## Overview
The **Fade Giga Candle Strategy** is a contrarian trading indicator designed to identify extreme price movements (called "Giga Candles") and predict mean reversion opportunities. This strategy is specifically optimized for Polymarket's 15-minute crypto prediction markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) but can be applied to any timeframe.
**Core Concept:** When price makes an unusually large move with extreme RSI and high volume, it often reverses in the next period. This indicator detects those moments and signals to "fade" (bet against) the move.
---
## 📊 What Does It Do?
### Signal Generation
- **FADE BEARISH (📉)**: Detects massive green candles → Predicts price will go DOWN next
- **FADE BULLISH (📈)**: Detects massive red candles → Predicts price will go UP next
### Real-Time Stats
- Win Rate tracking
- Total Return calculation
- Expected Value (EV) analysis
- Breakeven threshold display (57.14% for 75% win / 100% loss structure)
### Visual Alerts
- Chart labels showing predictions
- Background highlighting on signal candles
- Stats table in top-right corner
- RSI indicator with overbought/oversold zones
---
## ⚙️ How It Works
### 1. Giga Candle Detection
The indicator analyzes the last 500 candles and identifies "Giga Candles" based on:
- **Body Size Percentile** (default 93rd): Only the top 7% largest candles qualify
- **Minimum Body %** (default 0.5%): Filters out noise on small moves
### 2. Confirmation Filters
Before generating a signal, the indicator checks:
**RSI Filter (Optional)**
- RSI must be ≥70 (overbought) OR ≤30 (oversold)
- Indicates price is at an extreme level
**Volume Filter (Optional)**
- Current volume must be ≥1.5x the 20-period average
- Confirms the move has conviction
### 3. Fade Logic
```
IF Giga Green Candle + RSI Extreme + High Volume
→ FADE BEARISH (predict DOWN)
IF Giga Red Candle + RSI Extreme + High Volume
→ FADE BULLISH (predict UP)
```
---
## 🎛️ Settings & Parameters
### Giga Candle Detection
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Giga Candle Percentile** | 93.0 | 80-99 | Top X% of candles by body size. 93 = only top 7% qualify as "giga" |
| **Min Body % (Safety)** | 0.5 | 0.1-2.0 | Minimum body size as % of price. Prevents false signals on low volatility |
### RSI Filter
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Use RSI Filter** | ON | ON/OFF | Require RSI to be extreme before signaling |
| **RSI Length** | 14 | 5-50 | Period for RSI calculation |
| **RSI Overbought** | 70 | 60-85 | Threshold for overbought condition |
| **RSI Oversold** | 30 | 15-40 | Threshold for oversold condition |
### Volume Filter
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Use Volume Filter** | ON | ON/OFF | Require high volume before signaling |
| **Volume SMA Length** | 20 | 10-50 | Period for average volume calculation |
| **Volume Multiplier** | 1.5 | 1.0-3.0 | Current volume must be X times the average |
### Display Options
- **Show Signal Labels**: Display prediction labels on chart
- **Highlight Signal Candles**: Background color on signal bars
- **Show Stats Table**: Performance statistics in top-right
- **Enable Alerts**: Push notifications when signals occur

## 🚀 How to Use
### For Polymarket Trading (Recommended)
1. **Set timeframe to 15 minutes** (matches Polymarket market duration)
2. **Apply to BTC, ETH, SOL, or XRP charts**
3. **Wait for signal:**
- 📉 FADE BEARISH → Buy "DOWN" on Polymarket
- 📈 FADE BULLISH → Buy "UP" on Polymarket
4. **Hold until market resolves** (15 minutes)
5. **Track your performance** using the stats table
### For Regular Trading
1. Use on any liquid crypto market
2. When signal appears, consider entering a mean-reversion trade
3. Set stop-loss at 100% of entry (built into expected value calculation)
4. Take profit at 75% gain (matches the 57.14% breakeven math)
### Understanding the Stats Table
**Win Rate**: Your prediction accuracy percentage
- **Target: >57.14%** (breakeven for 75% win / 100% loss structure)
- Green if profitable, red if unprofitable
**Expected Value (EV)**: Average % return per trade
- **Positive EV** = Strategy is profitable long-term
- **Negative EV** = Strategy is losing long-term
- Formula: `(WinRate% × 75) - (LossRate% × 100)`
**Total Return**: Cumulative % gain/loss across all signals
---
## 📈 Interpretation Guide
### Strong Signals
✅ Large giga candle (top 3-5%)
✅ RSI >75 or <25 (very extreme)
✅ Volume >2x average
✅ Signal appears after sustained trend
✅ Win rate >60% in recent trades
### Weak Signals (Consider Skipping)
⚠️ Borderline giga candle (barely above threshold)
⚠️ RSI only slightly extreme (71 or 29)
⚠️ Volume just meets minimum (1.5x)
⚠️ Signal appears during choppy/sideways market
⚠️ Win rate <50% in recent trades
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
### 1. Timeframe Matters
- **15-min**: Best for Polymarket, captures intraday exhaustion
- **1-hour**: Better for swing trading
- **5-min**: Too noisy, not recommended
### 2. Market Context
- Works best in **trending markets** that overextend
- Less effective in **tight ranges** (consolidation)
- Avoid during **low liquidity** hours (weekends, holidays)
### 3. Filter Tuning
**More Aggressive (More Signals)**
- Lower Giga Percentile (90th)
- Disable RSI filter
- Lower volume multiplier (1.2x)
**More Conservative (Fewer, Higher Quality)**
- Raise Giga Percentile (95th)
- Tighter RSI thresholds (75/25)
- Higher volume multiplier (2.0x)
### 4. Bankroll Management
- **Never bet >5% of capital** on a single signal
- Maintain 20+ bet bankroll minimum
- Use Kelly Criterion: `Bet% = (WinRate - LossRate) / 2`
- Example: 60% win rate → Bet ~10% of bankroll
### 5. Track Your Performance
- Monitor the stats table actively
- If win rate drops below 55% for 20+ trades, **stop trading**
- If EV goes negative, **reassess filters or market conditions**
- Keep a trading journal outside the indicator
---
## ⚠️ Risk Disclosure
### Important Warnings
1. **Past performance ≠ future results**: Backtested win rates may not hold in live trading
2. **Market conditions change**: Strategy may stop working if market dynamics shift
3. **Gambler's ruin risk**: Even profitable strategies can lose multiple trades in a row
4. **Polymarket specific**:
- Carries smart contract risk
- Subject to liquidity constraints
- Markets can resolve unexpectedly
5. **Not financial advice**: This is an educational tool, not a recommendation to trade
### Best Practices
- Start with **small position sizes** to test
- Track at least **50 signals** before evaluating performance
- Consider **paper trading** first (simulated trades)
- Never trade with money you can't afford to lose
- Understand the **57.14% breakeven** requirement
---
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
### "No signals appearing"
- Check if filters are too strict (try disabling RSI/Volume filters temporarily)
- Reduce Giga Percentile to 90th
- Ensure sufficient chart history loaded (>500 candles)
### "Too many signals"
- Increase Giga Percentile to 95th
- Enable both RSI and Volume filters
- Raise volume multiplier to 2.0x
### "Win rate seems low"
- Check if you're trading during low liquidity periods
- Verify you're using 15-min timeframe for Polymarket
- Consider market is in tight consolidation (strategy works best in trends)
---
## 📚 Technical Details
### Calculations
- **Body Size**: `|close - open|`
- **Body %**: `(bodySize / open) × 100`
- **Giga Threshold**: `percentile_nearest_rank(last 500 candles, 93rd)`
- **RSI**: Standard 14-period RSI
- **Volume Ratio**: `current_volume / SMA(volume, 20)`
### Performance Tracking
- Checks if previous signal was correct after 1 bar
- Win = +75% to total return
- Loss = -100% to total return
- Win Rate = `(correct_predictions / total_signals) × 100`
---
## 🎯 Ideal Use Cases
### ✅ Perfect For:
- Polymarket 15-minute crypto prediction markets
- Mean-reversion trading on liquid crypto pairs
- Contrarian traders who fade extremes
- Systematic traders who follow rules-based signals
### ❌ Not Ideal For:
- Trend-following strategies (this is contrarian)
- Low volatility assets (needs large moves)
- Illiquid markets (won't have "giga" candles)
- Sub-5-minute scalping (too much noise)

FX Momentum Breakout Detector# FX Momentum Breakout Strategy
A TradingView Pine Script indicator that detects momentum breakouts in forex pairs and automatically executes trades via SignalStack integration. The strategy uses EMA crossovers, swing structure breaks, and Fibonacci retracement levels for entry, stop loss, and take profit placement.
## Overview
This strategy identifies bullish and bearish momentum breakouts by combining:
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** for trend direction
- **Swing High/Low** structure breaks for entry signals
- **Fibonacci retracement levels** for stop loss and take profit
- **Volume and time filters** to improve signal quality
- **Dynamic position sizing** based on Fibonacci stop distance and risk percentage
### Key Features
- ✅ **Automated Order Execution**: Direct integration with SignalStack for hands-free trading
- ✅ **Risk-Based Position Sizing**: Automatically calculates lot size based on stop distance and account risk
- ✅ **Fibonacci-Based TP/SL**: Uses Fibonacci 0.5 levels for take profit and stop loss
- ✅ **Time Window Filter**: Only trades during active market hours (7AM-7PM Japan Time)
- ✅ **Volume Filter**: Requires volume above 10-day moving average
- ✅ **Single Alert System**: One alert handles both long and short signals
## Strategy Logic
### Entry Conditions
**Long (Buy) Signal:**
- Price crosses above EMA 20, OR
- Price breaks above swing high structure
- AND: Minimum 3 consecutive bull bars (strong momentum)
- AND: Price is above EMA 20 (if EMA filter enabled)
- AND: Volume is above 10-day MA
- AND: Time is within 7AM-7PM JST window
**Short (Sell) Signal:**
- Price crosses below EMA 20, OR
- Price breaks below swing low structure
- AND: Minimum 3 consecutive bear bars (strong momentum)
- AND: Price is below EMA 20 (if EMA filter enabled)
- AND: Volume is above 10-day MA
- AND: Time is within 7AM-7PM JST window
### Stop Loss & Take Profit
- **Long Positions:**
- Take Profit: Fibonacci 0.5 level above entry (`fib_up_0_5`)
- Stop Loss: Fibonacci 0.5 level below entry (`fib_dn_0_5`)
- **Short Positions:**
- Take Profit: Fibonacci 0.5 level below entry (`fib_dn_0_5`)
- Stop Loss: Fibonacci 0.5 level above entry (`fib_up_0_5`)
### Position Sizing
Position size is calculated dynamically based on:
1. **Account Balance**: Your account size in USD (default: $125,000)
2. **Risk Percentage**: Risk per trade (default: 1.0%)
3. **Stop Loss Distance**: Distance from entry to Fibonacci stop level (in pips)
**Formula:**
```
Risk in Dollars = Account Balance × (Risk % / 100)
Stop Loss (pips) = |Entry Price - Stop Loss Price| / Pip Size
Position Size (lots) = Risk $ / (Stop Loss (pips) × $10 per pip per lot)
```
The strategy rounds to 0.01 lot increments (micro lots) for precise position sizing.

ORB Breakout Strategy with VWAP and Volume FiltersOverview
This strategy implements the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology, a well-documented approach in trading literature that has been used by institutional and retail traders for decades. The strategy identifies the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session, then trades breakouts with defined risk management.
This implementation includes multiple customizable filters (VWAP, Volume, Candle Strength) that traders can enable, disable, and tune to find configurations that work for their specific markets and trading style.
How It Works
Opening Range Calculation
The strategy captures the high and low of the first N bars after the session open (default: 3 bars on a 5-minute chart = 15 minutes). These levels become the breakout triggers for the session.
Entry Logic
Long Entry: When a bar closes above the ORB High and all enabled filters pass
Short Entry: When a bar closes below the ORB Low and all enabled filters pass
Exit Logic
Take Profit: Configurable multiple of the ORB range (default: 1x = full range beyond breakout level)
Stop Loss: Opposite side of the ORB range
Breakeven: Optional stop adjustment to entry price when trade reaches configurable profit threshold
Session Close: All positions automatically closed at end of trading session
Configurable Filters
All filters can be independently enabled or disabled:
1. VWAP Filter
Requires price above/below session-anchored VWAP
Requires VWAP slope confirmation (configurable lookback and minimum slope)
Purpose: Align trades with intraday trend direction
2. Volume Filter
Requires minimum volume on the breakout bar
Purpose: Confirm institutional participation in the breakout
3. Candle Strength Filter
Requires close in upper/lower portion of the bar range
Purpose: Filter out weak breakouts with poor conviction

Gridbot Ping Pong🏓 Gridbot Ping Pong is a dynamic grid bot indicator that generates buy and sell signals as price oscillates between automatically calculated support and resistance levels. The grid adapts to trending markets through adjustable tilt and anchor parameters, which control the grid slope and shift resistance respectively. Entry signals trigger when price touches grid levels, while take profit and stop signals manage position exits. Unlike traditional grid bots that require horizontal ranges, this indicator maintains its oscillation zone as price trends by tilting and shifting the grid structure to follow momentum. The grid bot approach aims to accumulate gains through frequent touches across multiple grid levels rather than seeking large directional moves. Like a ping pong ball in motion, price oscillates between grid levels — each touch generates a signal.
⚡ THEORY & CONCEPTS ⚡
Grid trading is a systematic approach that places buy and sell orders at predetermined price intervals, creating a grid of orders above and below a set price level. In ranging markets, this method capitalizes on natural price oscillations by buying at lower grid levels and selling at higher ones. Each completed round trip between levels represents a captured opportunity, and the frequency of these oscillations determines the grid's effectiveness. Traditional grid bots excel when price remains within the defined range, methodically accumulating gains as price bounces between levels.
However, traditional grid structures face significant challenges when markets begin to trend. Fixed horizontal levels that performed well during consolidation become liabilities during directional moves. An uptrend leaves buy orders unfilled while sell orders trigger prematurely, and a downtrend creates the opposite problem. Extended trends can result in accumulated positions at increasingly unfavorable prices, with no mechanism to adapt to the new market reality. The static nature of traditional grids assumes markets will return to the mean, yet sustained breakouts regularly invalidate this assumption.
Gridbot Ping Pong addresses these limitations through dynamic grid adaptation. The tilt parameter angles the grid in the direction of the prevailing trend, aligning support and resistance levels with market momentum rather than fighting against it. The anchor parameter creates buffer zones beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a grid shift. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level. This combination of tilting grids and controlled shifting allows the indicator to maintain grid trading mechanics while acknowledging that markets trend.
The grid adapts through a downtrend and early reversal. Entry signals (▲▼), take profit signals (△▽), and grid shifts demonstrate the ping pong sequence as price oscillates between levels.
The grid structure consists of five levels: two potential support levels below, a center base price, and two potential resistance levels above. These levels are calculated as percentage intervals from a dynamic base price, with the spacing parameter determining the distance between each level. Trend direction is derived from consecutive grid shifts, where multiple shifts in the same direction confirm momentum. The grid restricts entries to the trend direction — buy signals in uptrends, sell signals in downtrends — while counter-trend signals convert to exits when appropriate.
Full market cycle demonstrating grid adaptation through rally, reversal, decline, and recovery. Buy signals dominate during uptrends, sell signals during downtrends, with take profits at boundaries throughout. Two stop signals mark the trend reversals.
Tilt
The tilt mechanic introduces slope to the grid structure based on trend direction and momentum. When consecutive shifts occur in the same direction, the tilt increases, creating a steeper grid that tracks with the trend. As the trend progresses, support levels rise with it — buy signals trigger on pullbacks to these rising levels rather than static levels abandoned by price. Similarly, resistance levels fall during downtrends, keeping sell signals relevant to current price action. If the trend reverses and shifts occur in the opposite direction, the tilt resets and begins building in the new direction. The tilt strength parameter controls how aggressively the grid slopes, with higher values producing steeper angles. Negative tilt values invert this relationship, angling the grid against the prevailing momentum rather than with it. This counter-trend configuration positions support levels lower during uptrends and resistance levels higher during downtrends, favoring mean reversion entries that anticipate pullbacks rather than continuation.
Negative tilt applied during an uptrend. Despite the bullish price action from late November through December, the grids slope downward, positioning buy signals at deeper support levels. Take profit signals appear at resistance as price reaches the upper grid boundaries before pulling back. The counter-trend configuration captures oscillations within the rising market rather than chasing momentum.
Anchor
The anchor mechanic provides resistance to grid shifting. Buffer zones extend beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a shift. Higher anchor values create larger buffers, requiring more significant price movement. As consecutive shifts confirm a trend, the pro-trend buffer shrinks, allowing the grid to follow momentum with increasing ease. This lets the indicator commit to established trends while resisting premature shifts during consolidations. Tilt and anchor work in complementary tension: tilt rewards momentum by angling the grid, while anchor resists excessive shifting by requiring price conviction to recenter. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level and play continues on a fresh table.
Steady uptrend with minimal tilt. The flat grid segments demonstrate that shifting alone keeps the grid aligned with price action. Buy signals (▲) and take profit signals (▽) alternate as price bounces between levels, accumulating gains through repetition across the entire move.
Sustained uptrend from June through September. The grid follows the trend with increasing ease as consecutive shifts reduce the pro-trend buffer. The October consolidation eventually triggers a downward shift and stop signal, but the system adapts to the renewed uptrend in November with fresh entry signals.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates three signal types. Entry signals (▲▼) trigger when price reaches a grid level in the direction of the trend, initiating a new position. Take profit signals (△▽) trigger when price reaches a grid level against the trend direction while a position is held, capturing gains as the rally continues. Stop signals (⦿) trigger when a grid shift occurs while holding a position adverse to the new shift direction. The ball goes off the table.
Trend reversal from bearish to bullish. The grid follows the downtrend through November with consecutive sell signals. A stop signal (⦿) triggers at the bottom as the grid shifts adversely against the held position. The system resets and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December, generating fresh buy signals as the new direction establishes.
Trigger Options
The signal trigger determines what price data the indicator uses to detect grid touches, balancing responsiveness against confirmation.
Auto : The default setting, using wick-based detection for pro-trend signals and close-based detection for counter-trend signals. This balances responsiveness when entering with the trend against confirmation when signaling against it.
Wick Touch : Generates signals in real-time when the high or low touches a grid level, providing the fastest response to price interaction.
Wick Reverse : Requires the wick to cross through the grid level from the previous bar, confirming the touch before signaling.
SWMA : Uses a Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average as the trigger source, generating signals only when the smoothed price crosses grid levels.
Close : Uses the bar's closing price as the trigger source, providing confirmed signals after each bar completes.
Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) trigger during a trend reversal. The smoothed price line filters intrabar noise, generating signals only when the SWMA crosses grid levels rather than reacting to wick touches. The grid follows the downtrend through November, resets at the bottom, and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December.
Signal Safeguards
The indicator includes built-in protections to reduce overtrading and mitigate risk, keeping the ball in play longer:
Boundary Protection : New entries are blocked at the outermost grid levels where breakout risk is highest. Exits remain permitted at these boundaries.
Signal Spacing : Signals maintain one-level separation from the most recent signal, preventing clusters of entries at similar prices.
Trend Alignment : When conflicting conditions arise, signals align with the prevailing trend direction rather than fighting momentum.
Automatic Profit Taking : Counter-trend interactions convert to take profit signals when a position is held, capturing gains rather than reversing exposure.
Adverse Shift Stops : When the grid shifts against a held position, a stop signal triggers to exit before further adverse movement.
Cautious Breakout Entries : On the first shift in a new direction, entries are restricted to favorable grid levels until the trend confirms through consecutive shifts.
Shift Resistance : Counter-trend shifts always require full buffer conviction, while pro-trend shifts become easier only after the trend is confirmed.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION & SETTINGS 🛠️
Core Parameters
SPACING (%) : Sets the percentage distance between grid levels. Higher values create wider grids with more room between signals, lower values create tighter grids with more frequent signal opportunities.
TRIGGER : Selects the price source for signal detection. See Trigger Options above.
TILT : Controls the grid slope factor in the trend direction.
ANCHOR : Controls resistance to grid shifting.
Visual Settings
GRIDS : Sets the colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) grid levels.
FILL : Sets the gradient fill colors between the price line and outer grid boundaries.
SWMA : Sets the color of the Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average line.
🏓 PLAYING GRIDBOT PING PONG 🏓
⚪The objective is not to predict where price will go, but to be present at each level when it arrives.
⚪Each touch at a boundary counts. Gains accumulate through repetition, not single swings.
⚪The rally continues until it doesn't. When the ball goes off the table, the game resets.
⚪The grid creates boundaries where price bounces back and forth. The table is set — the ball does the work.
⚪Price oscillates between defined levels. The grid is the table. Everything else is just ping pong.
Tennis is a form of ping pong. In fact, tennis is ping pong played while standing on the table. In fact, all racquet games are nothing but derivatives of ping pong. — George Carlin

EMA and Dow Theory Strategies V2 DOGE Current Optimum Value
📘 Overview
These are the current optimal values for DOGE.
They are intended for use on the 2‑hour timeframe.
This script requires complex configuration, but there is an optimal set of values somewhere.
Here, I’m sharing the settings that I personally use at the moment.
Turning Take Profit off can lead to higher profits, but it also increases risks such as a lower win rate.
With Take Profit on, you can adjust the settings by increasing the values.
I have been trading using Dow Theory for many years.
Trading with Dow Theory and EMA has been my main strategy.
Although it has been profitable, I have long struggled with its low win rate.
The issue lies in the immaturity of the exit strategy, and I’m currently experimenting to see if I can solve that.
In V2, I added three take‑profit lines, securing 30% of the profit at each level to ensure a minimum level of gain.
Additionally, when the trend weakens, half of the position is closed.
In all scenarios, the remaining position is held until the trend reverses.
The system provides precise entries, adaptive exits, and highly visual guidance that helps traders understand trend structure at a glance.
🧠 Key Features
🔹 1. Dual‑EMA Trend Logic (Symbol + External Index)
Both the chart symbol and an external index (OTHERS.D) are evaluated using fast/slow EMAs to determine correlation‑based trend bias.
🔹 2. Dow Theory Swing Detection (Real‑time)
The script identifies swing highs/lows and updates trend direction when price breaks them. This creates a structural trend model that reacts faster than EMAs alone.
🔹 3. Gradient Trend Zones (Visual Trend Strength)
When trend is up or down, the area between price and the latest swing level is filled with a multi‑step gradient. This makes trend strength and distance-to-structure visually intuitive.
🔹 4. Higher‑Timeframe Swing Trend (htfTrend)
Swing highs/lows from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H) are plotted to show macro structure. Used only for visual context, not for filtering entries.
🔹 5. RSI‑Based Entry Protection
RSI prevents entries during extreme overbought/oversold conditions.
🔹 6. Dynamic Exit System
Includes:
Custom stop‑loss (%)
Partial take‑profit (TP1/TP2/TP3)
Automatic scale‑out when trend color weakens
“Color‑change lockout” to prevent immediate re‑entry
Real‑time PnL tracking and labels
🔹 7. Alerts for All Key Events
Entry, stop‑loss, partial exits, and trend‑change exits all generate structured JSON alerts.
🔹 8. Visual PnL Labels & Equity Tracking
PnL for the latest trade is displayed directly on the chart, including scale‑out adjustments.
⚙️ Input Parameters
Parameter Description
Fast EMA / Slow EMA EMAs used for symbol trend detection
Index Fast / Slow EMA EMAs applied to external index
StopLoss (%) Custom stop‑loss threshold
Scale‑Out % Portion to exit when trend color weakens
RSI Period / Levels Overbought/oversold filters
Swing Detection Length Bars used to detect swing highs/lows
Stats Display Position of statistics table
🧭 About htfTrend (Higher Timeframe Trend)
The higher‑timeframe swing trend is displayed visually but not used for entry logic.
Why? Strict HTF filtering reduces trade frequency and often removes profitable setups. By keeping it visual‑only, traders retain flexibility while still benefiting from macro structure awareness.
Use it as a contextual guide, not a constraint.

問題は出口戦略が未熟なためで、現在はそれらの解決ができないかと試行錯誤を続けています。
V2では3本の利益確定ラインを引き、それぞれ30%ずつ利益を確定し、最低限の利益がでるようにしました。
それ以外にはトレンドが弱まったタイミングで半分の利益確定をし、どのパターンでも残ったポジションはトレンド転換まで持ち続けます。
🧠 主な機能
🔹 1. 銘柄＋外部インデックスの EMA クロス判定
対象銘柄と OTHERS.D の EMA を比較し、相関を考慮したトレンド方向を判定します。
🔹 2. ダウ理論に基づくスイング高値・安値の自動検出
スイング更新によりトレンド方向を切り替える、構造ベースのトレンド判定を採用。
🔹 3. グラデーション背景によるトレンド強度の可視化
スイングラインから現在価格までを段階的に塗り分け、 「どれだけトレンドが伸びているか」を直感的に把握できます。
🔹 4. 上位足スイングトレンド（htfTrend）の表示
4H などの上位足でのスイング高値・安値を表示し、 大局的なトレンド構造を視覚的に把握できます（ロジックには未使用）。
🔹 5. RSI による過熱・売られすぎフィルター
極端な RSI 状態でのエントリーを防止。
🔹 6. 動的イグジットシステム
カスタム損切り（％）
TP1/TP2/TP3 の段階的利確
トレンド色の弱まりによる自動スケールアウト
色変化後の再エントリー制限（waitForColorChange）
リアルタイム PnL の追跡とラベル表示
🔹 7. アラート完備（JSON 形式）
エントリー、損切り、部分利確、トレンド反転などすべてに対応。
🔹 8. 損益ラベル・統計表示
直近トレードの損益をチャート上に表示し、視覚的に把握できます。

Fibonacci 5 Candles Retracement
================================================================================
FIBONACCI 5 CANDLES RETRACEMENT - STRATEGY GUIDE
================================================================================
WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO?
---------------------------
This strategy automatically identifies market trends and uses Fibonacci
retracements to find the best entry points. The idea is simple: when price
makes a strong movement (trend), it often pulls back before continuing in
the same direction. The strategy captures these "pullbacks" to enter at the
right moment.
HOW IT WORKS?
-------------
1. TREND DETECTION
The strategy looks for 5 consecutive candles of the same color:
- 5 red candles = BEARISH trend (price falls)
- 5 green candles = BULLISH trend (price rises)
2. CALCULATION OF START AND END POINTS
For a BEARISH trend (5 red candles):
- START: The highest point between the first red candle and the previous one
- END: The lowest point reached during the 5 candles (and beyond, if the
trend continues)
For a BULLISH trend (5 green candles):
- START: The lowest point between the first green candle and the previous one
- END: The highest point reached during the 5 candles (and beyond, if the
trend continues)
3. DYNAMIC UPDATE
The END point updates automatically if price continues to move in the
direction of the trend, creating new highs (for bullish trends) or new
lows (for bearish trends).
4. TREND END
Normal Mode:
- BEARISH trend ends when a candle closes above the previous candle's open
- BULLISH trend ends when a candle closes below the previous candle's open
"Extended Trend" mode (optional):
- The trend remains active until a candle closes beyond the dynamic 50%
retracement level
- When this happens, the END point "freezes" (stops updating), but the
trend can continue
5. FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT CALCULATION
Once START and END are identified, the strategy automatically calculates
Fibonacci levels. IMPORTANT: for retracements and pending orders, we
consider START as 100% and END as 0%, because we work on the part of the
trend that is recovered (the pullback).
The retracement levels are:
- 70% = level closest to START (smallest retracement)
- 60% = second level
- 50% = central level (often used for entry)
- 25% = level closest to END (largest retracement)
6. PENDING ORDER PLACEMENT
When a trend is identified and completed, the strategy automatically places
a pending order (limit order) at one of the selectable Fibonacci levels.
Available levels:
- 25%: closest to END
- 50%: central level (balanced)
- 60%: closest to START
- 70%: very close to START
The order direction depends on the trend:
- BEARISH trend → SHORT order (bet that price falls)
- BULLISH trend → LONG order (bet that price rises)
Stop Loss and Take Profit (for retracements):
- Stop Loss: always at START level
- Take Profit: always at END level
EXTENDED TAKE PROFIT:
If the order is executed (filled), the strategy can apply an "Extended
Take Profit" if configured. IMPORTANT: for the extended TP calculation,
we consider START as 0% and END as 100% (the original trend movement).
For example, if you set 3%, the Take Profit will be at 103% of the
original trend movement instead of 100%.
AVAILABLE FILTERS
-----------------
1. MINIMUM TREND (pips)
Filters trends that are too small. If a trend is below the set value:
- START and END labels become gray (instead of red/green)
- No pending order is placed
- The trend is still displayed on the chart
Useful for avoiding trading movements that are too small.
2. EMA FILTER
Uses two moving averages (EMA 50 and EMA 200) to filter direction:
- If active: places LONG orders only when EMA50 > EMA200 (uptrend)
- If active: places SHORT orders only when EMA50 < EMA200 (downtrend)
Useful for trading only in the direction of the main trend.
3. EXTENDED TREND
Modifies how the trend is considered "completed":
- If disabled: uses normal logic (opposite candle)
- If active: the trend remains in formation until a candle closes beyond
the dynamic 50%. When this happens, END freezes but the trend can continue.
Useful for capturing longer trends and extended movements.
VISUALIZATION
-------------
The strategy displays on the chart:
1. START AND END LABELS
- Red color for bearish trends
- Green color for bullish trends
- Gray color if the trend is not valid (too small)
- Remain visible even when new trends form
2. START AND END LINES
- Horizontal lines indicating the start (START) and end (END) points of the trend
- White color by default, customizable from the settings panel
- Update dynamically when the END point changes
- Can be shown or hidden via the "Show Start/End Lines" option
3. FIBONACCI LINES
The strategy shows horizontal lines at retracement levels:
- Line at 50% (yellow by default)
- Line at 25% (green by default)
- Line at 60% (azure by default)
- Line at 70% (red by default)
COLOR CUSTOMIZATION:
All line colors can be customized from the settings panel in the
"LINE COLORS" section:
- Start/End Line Color: customize the color of START and END lines
- 50% Line Color: customize the color of the 50% line
- 25% Line Color: customize the color of the 25% line
- 60% Line Color: customize the color of the 60% line
- 70% Line Color: customize the color of the 70% line
Lines update dynamically when the END point changes and can be shown or
hidden individually via options in the "VISUALIZATION" section.
4. PENDING ORDER LABELS
Show pending order information:
- Direction (LONG or SHORT)
- Entry price
- Stop Loss
- Take Profit
Positioned far from the chart to avoid cluttering the visualization.
ALERTS
------
If enabled, alerts send notifications when:
1. PENDING ORDER CREATED
When a new pending order is placed, with all information.
2. PENDING ORDER UPDATED
When the pending order is updated (for example, if the level changes or
if the END point moves).
3. ORDER OPENED
When the pending order is executed (filled) and the position is opened.
Alerts can be configured in TradingView to send notifications via email,
SMS, or other platforms.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
--------------------
To get started, you can use these settings:
VISUALIZATION:
- Show all lines and labels to see how it works
- Show Start/End Lines: true (to display lines at START and END points)
- Customize line colors in the "LINE COLORS" section according to your preferences
STRATEGY:
- Pending Order Level: 50% (balanced)
- Extended TP: 0% (use standard TP at 100%)
FILTERS:
- Minimum Trend: 0 pips (disabled initially)
- Use EMA Filter: false (disabled initially)
- Extended Trend: false (use normal logic)
ALERTS:
- Enable Alerts: true (if you want to receive notifications)
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
-----------------
Scenario: Bearish Trend
1. Price forms 5 consecutive red candles
2. The strategy identifies:
- START = 1.2000 (highest point)
- END = 1.1900 (lowest point)
- Range = 100 pips
3. Calculates Fibonacci levels (for retracements: START = 100%, END = 0%):
- 100% = 1.2000 (START)
- 70% = 1.1930
- 60% = 1.1940
- 50% = 1.1950
- 25% = 1.1975
- 0% = 1.1900 (END)
4. If you set "Pending Order Level" to 50%:
- Places a SHORT pending order at 1.1950 (50% retracement)
- Stop Loss at 1.2000 (START = 100%)
- Take Profit at 1.1900 (END = 0%)
5. If price rises and touches 1.1950:
- The order is executed
- Opens a SHORT position
- If price falls to 1.1900 → Take Profit (profit)
- If price rises to 1.2000 → Stop Loss (loss)

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.
---
## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.
---
### 4. Entry/Exit Signals
| Symbol | Type | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 🔺 **Large Green Triangle** | HC Long Entry | High Confidence long setup (Squeeze OFF + Oversold + Confluence) |
| 🔻 **Large Red Triangle** | HC Short Entry | High Confidence short setup (Squeeze OFF + Overbought + Confluence) |
| 🔺 Small green | Medium Long | Long setup without full confluence |
| 🔻 Small red | Medium Short | Short setup without full confluence |
| ✕ Orange X | Exit Long | Close long positions (exhaustion detected) |
| ✕ Teal X | Exit Short | Close short positions (exhaustion detected) |
**Trade only the LARGE triangles** for highest probability setups.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```
---
### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days
Indicator: Extension area deep in red zone (>2σ)
Momentum still bright green but starting to shorten
Table: "EXTENDED UP" / "CAUTION LONG"
Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state
---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

## 💡 Trading Examples
### Example 1: SHORT Trade (As shown in your chart)
```
1. SFP appears at swing high (Red zone around 4,000)
2. X marker confirms liquidity sweep above the high
3. Entry: SHORT when price re-enters red zone
4. Stop Loss: Above red zone (e.g., 4,002)
5. Take Profit: Green zone below (3,964-3,972)
6. Risk:Reward = 1:3+
```
### Example 2: LONG Trade
```
1. SFP appears at swing low (Green zone)
2. X marker confirms liquidity sweep below the low
3. Entry: LONG when price re-enters green zone
4. Stop Loss: Below green zone

6. Risk:Reward = 1:2 minimum
```
---
## ⚠️ Important Trading Rules
### ✅ DO:
- Wait for BOTH SFP and X marker confirmation
- Enter on price returning to the zone (not on first touch)
- Use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade)
- Combine with market structure analysis
- Look for confluences (orderblocks, fair value gaps)
### ❌ DON'T:
- Trade against the higher timeframe trend
- Enter without confirmation signals
- Ignore the colored zones for SL/TP placement
- Overtrade - wait for quality setups
- Move stop loss to breakeven too early
---
## 🔧 Indicator Settings (Typical)
**Adjustable Parameters:**
- Swing Length: Number of bars to identify swing points
- Show/Hide X markers
- Show/Hide SFP labels
- Zone opacity and colors
- Line thickness
---
## 📚 ICT Concepts Explained
### **Liquidity Sweep:**
Smart money intentionally pushes price beyond key levels to trigger retail stop losses, then reverses to their intended direction. The X marker identifies these moments.
### **Swing Failure Pattern (SFP):**
Price attempts to make a new high/low but lacks follow-through, indicating weak momentum and likely reversal. Similar to a "false breakout" but more specific to swing structures.
### **Supply & Demand Zones:**
- **Red zones** = Areas where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers
- **Green zones** = Areas where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers
- These zones act as magnets for price to return and react
---
## 🎓 Best Practices
1. **Confluence is Key:**
- Combine with daily/weekly bias
- Check for orderblocks nearby
- Look for imbalances (FVG)
2. **Session Timing:**
- Best during London/New York sessions
- Avoid low liquidity periods
3. **Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
- Use proper lot sizing
- Take partial profits at key levels
4. **Timeframe Correlation:**
- Check higher timeframe for bias
- Enter on lower timeframe for precision
- Exit based on higher timeframe targets

OCC Strategy Optimized (MA 5 + Delayed TSL)# OCC Strategy Optimized (MA 5 + Delayed TSL) - User Guide
## Introduction
The **OCC Strategy Optimized** is an enhanced version of the classic **Open Close Cross (OCC)** strategy. This strategy is designed for high-precision trend following, utilizing the crossover logic of Open and Close moving averages to identify market shifts. This optimized version incorporates advanced risk management, multi-timeframe analysis, and a variety of moving average types to provide a robust trading solution for modern markets.
>
> **Special Thanks:** This strategy is based on the original work of **JustUncleL**, a renowned Pine Script developer. You can find their work and profile on TradingView here: (in.tradingview.com).
---
## Key Features
### 1. Optimized Core Logic
- **MA Period (Default: 5):** The strategy is tuned with a shorter MA length to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
- **Crossing Logic:** Signals are generated when the Moving Average of the **Close** crosses the Moving Average of the **Open**.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
- **Alternate Resolution:** Use a higher timeframe (Resolution Multiplier) to filter out noise. By default, it uses $3 \times$ your current chart timeframe to confirm the trend.
- **Non-Repainting:** Includes an optional delay offset to ensure signals are confirmed and do not disappear (repaint) after the bar closes.
### 3. Advanced Risk Management
This script features a hierarchical exit system to protect your capital and lock in profits:
- **Fixed Stop Loss (Initial):** Protects against sudden market reversals immediately after entry.
- **Delayed Trailing Stop Loss (TSL):**
- **Activation Delay:** The TSL only activates after the trade reaches a specific profit threshold (e.g., 1%). This prevents being stopped out too early in the trade's development.
- **Ratchet Trail:** Once activated, the stop loss "ratchets" up/down, never moving backward, ensuring you lock in profits as the trend continues.
- **Take Profit (TP):** A fixed percentage target to exit the trade at a pre-defined profit level.
### 4. Versatility
- **12 MA Types:** Choose from SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HullMA, LSMA, ALMA, SSMA, and TMA.
- **Trade Direction:** Toggle between Long-only, Short-only, or Both.
- **Visuals:** Optional bar coloring to visualize the trend directly on the candlesticks.
---
## User Input Guide
### Core Settings
- **Use Alternate Resolution?:** Enable this to use the MTF logic.
- **Multiplier for Alternate Resolution:** How many charts higher the "filter" timeframe should be.
- **MA Type:** Select your preferred moving average smoothing method.
- **MA Period:** The length of the Open/Close averages.
- **Delay Open/Close MA:** Use `1` or higher to force non-repainting behavior.
### Risk Management Settings
- **Use Trailing Stop Loss?:** Enables the TSL system.
- **Trailing Stop %:** The distance the stop follows behind the price (Optimized Default: 1.5%).
- **TSL Activation % (Delay):** The profit % required before the TSL starts moving. (Optimized Default: 2.0% to ensure 0.5% profit is locked immediately).
- **Initial Fixed Stop Loss %:** Your hard stop if the trade immediately goes against you.
- **Take Profit %:** Your ultimate profit target for the trade.
---
## How to Trade with This Strategy
1. **Identify the Trend:** Look for the Moving Average lines (Close vs Open) to cross.
2. **Wait for Confirmation:** If using MTF, ensure the higher timeframe also shows a trend change.
3. **Manage the Trade:** Let the TSL work. With the default **2.0% Activation** and **1.5% Trail**, the strategy will automatically lock in **0.5% profit** the moment the threshold is hit, then follow the price higher.
4. **Position Sizing:** Adjust the `Properties` tab in the script settings to match your desired capital allocation (Default is 10% of equity).

Fundamental Dashboard [Standalone]Overview
The Fundamental Strength Dashboard is a streamlined utility designed to evaluate the fundamental health of a stock directly on your chart. Instead of relying solely on price action, this indicator fetches real-time financial data to assess profitability, valuation, and financial stability.
It aggregates five core financial metrics into a single "Fundamental Score" (0-5) and displays a clear rating (Strong Buy, Buy, Neutral, or Weak/Sell) in a customizable dashboard table.
How It Works
The script analyzes the following 5 Key Fundamental Metrics. For a stock to receive a "point" for a specific metric, it must meet the criteria defined in your settings:
Net Income (Profitability): Checks if the company is actually profitable (Net Income > 0).
EPS (Earnings Per Share): Ensures the company has positive Earnings Per Share (TTM).
P/E Ratio (Valuation): Checks if the stock is valued reasonably compared to your maximum threshold (default: < 45).
Debt-to-Equity (Leverage): Analyzes financial risk. Lower is better (default: < 0.5).
ROE (Efficiency): Measures how effectively management uses equity to generate profit (default: > 15%).
The Scoring System
The indicator calculates a cumulative score based on how many of the above criteria are met:
Score 5/5 → STRONG BUY: The stock meets all profitability, valuation, and stability criteria.
Score 4/5 → BUY: The stock misses only one criterion but is otherwise fundamentally sound.
Score 0-3 → WEAK / SELL: The stock fails multiple fundamental checks (e.g., negative earnings, high debt, or overvaluation).
Features & Customization
Every trader has different risk appetites and sector preferences. You can fully customize the thresholds in the Settings menu:
Max P/E Threshold: Adjust this based on the sector (e.g., Tech stocks typically have higher P/Es than Utilities).
Min ROE %: Set your requirement for management efficiency.
Max Debt/Equity: Tighten or loosen leverage requirements.
Visuals: Change the table position (Top Right, Bottom Right, etc.) and color scheme to match your chart theme.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the Settings (Gear icon).
Adjust the Dynamic Thresholds to fit the sector you are trading.
Look at the dashboard on the chart to see a snapshot of the stock's fundamental health.

Liquidity Maxing [JOAT]Liquidity Maxing - Institutional Liquidity Matrix
Introduction
Liquidity Maxing is an open-source strategy for TradingView built around institutional market structure concepts. It identifies structural shifts, evaluates trades through multi-factor confluence, and implements layered risk controls.
The strategy is designed for swing trading on 4-hour timeframes, focusing on how institutional order flow manifests in price action through structure breaks, inducements, and liquidity sweeps.
Core Functionality
Liquidity Maxing performs three primary functions:
Tracks market structure to identify when control shifts between buyers and sellers
Scores potential trades using an eight-factor confluence system
Manages position sizing and risk exposure dynamically based on volatility and user-defined limits
The goal is selective trading when multiple conditions align, rather than frequent entries.
Market Structure Engine
The structure engine tracks three key events:
Break of Structure (BOS): Price pushes beyond a prior pivot in the direction of trend
Change of Character (CHoCH): Control flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa
Inducement Sweeps (IDM): Market briefly runs stops against trend before moving in the real direction
The structure module continuously updates strong highs and lows, labeling structural shifts visually. IDM markers are optional and disabled by default to maintain chart clarity.
The trade engine requires valid structure alignment before considering entries. No structure, no trade.
Eight-Factor Confluence System
Instead of relying on a single indicator, Liquidity Maxing uses an eight-factor scoring system:
Structure alignment with current trend
RSI within healthy bands (different ranges for up and down trends)
MACD momentum agreement with direction
Volume above adaptive baseline
Price relative to main trend EMA
Session and weekend filter (configurable)
Volatility expansion/contraction via ATR shifts
Higher-timeframe EMA confirmation
Each factor contributes one point to the confluence score. The default minimum confluence threshold is 6 out of 8, but you can adjust this from 1-8 based on your preference for trade frequency versus selectivity.
Only when structure and confluence agree does the strategy proceed to risk evaluation.
Dynamic Risk Management
Risk controls are implemented in multiple layers:
ATR-based stops and targets with configurable risk-to-reward ratio (default 2:1)
Volatility-adjusted position sizing to maintain consistent risk per trade as ranges expand or compress
Daily and weekly risk budgets that halt new entries once thresholds are reached
Correlation cooldown to prevent clustered trades in the same direction
Global circuit breaker with maximum drawdown limit and emergency kill switch
If any guardrail is breached, the strategy will not open new positions. The dashboard clearly displays risk state for transparency.
Market Presets
The strategy includes configuration presets optimized for different market types:
Crypto (BTC/ETH): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.2, enhanced ATR scaling
Forex Majors: RSI bands 75/25, volume multiplier 1.5
Indices (SPY/QQQ): RSI bands 70/30, volume multiplier 1.3
Custom: Default values for user customization
For crypto assets, the strategy automatically applies ATR volatility scaling to account for higher volatility characteristics.
Monitoring and Dashboards
The strategy includes optional monitoring layers:
Risk Operations Dashboard (top-right):
Trend state
Confluence score
ATR value
Current position size percentage
Global drawdown
Daily and weekly risk consumption
Correlation guard state
Alert mode status
Performance Console (top-left):
Net profit
Current equity
Win rate percentage
Average trade value
Sharpe-style ratio (rolling 50-bar window)
Profit factor
Open trade count
Optional risk tint on chart background provides visual indication of "safe to trade" versus "halted" state.
All visualization elements can be toggled on/off from the inputs for clean chart viewing or full telemetry during parameter tuning.
Alerts and Automation
The strategy supports alert integration with two formats:
Standard alerts: Human-readable messages for long, short, and risk-halt conditions
Webhook format: JSON-formatted payloads ready for external execution systems (optional)
Alert messages are predictable and unambiguous, suitable for manual review or automated forwarding to execution engines.
Built-in Validation Suite
The strategy includes an optional validation layer that can be enabled from inputs. It checks:
Internal consistency of structure and confluence metrics
Sanity and ordering of risk parameters
Position sizing compliance with user-defined floors and caps
This validation is optional and not required for trading, but provides transparency into system operation during development or troubleshooting.
Strategy Parameters
Market Presets:
Configuration Preset: Choose between Crypto (BTC/ETH), Forex Majors, Indices (SPY/QQQ), or Custom
Market Structure Architecture:
Pivot Length: Default 5 bars
Filter by Inducement (IDM): Default enabled
Visualize Structure: Default enabled
Structure Lookback: Default 50 bars
Risk & Capital Preservation:
Risk:Reward Ratio: Default 2.0
ATR Period: Default 14
ATR Multiplier (Stop): Default 2.0
Max Drawdown Circuit Breaker: Default 10%
Risk per Trade (% Equity): Default 1.5%
Daily Risk Limit: Default 6%
Weekly Risk Limit: Default 12%
Min Position Size (% Equity): Default 0.25%
Max Position Size (% Equity): Default 5%
Correlation Cooldown (bars): Default 3
Emergency Kill Switch: Default disabled
Signal Confluence:
RSI Length: Default 14
Trend EMA: Default 200
HTF Confirmation TF: Default Daily
Allow Weekend Trading: Default enabled
Minimum Confluence Score (0-8): Default 6
Backtesting Considerations
When backtesting this strategy, consider the following:
Commission: Default 0.05% (adjustable in strategy settings)
Initial Capital: Default $100,000 (adjustable)
Position Sizing: Uses percentage of equity (default 2% per trade)
Timeframe: Optimized for 4-hour charts, though can be tested on other timeframes
Results will vary significantly based on:
Market conditions and volatility regimes
Parameter settings, especially confluence threshold
Risk limit configuration
Symbol characteristics (crypto vs forex vs equities)
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics should be evaluated in context of drawdown periods, trade frequency, and market conditions.
How to Use This Strategy
This is a framework that requires understanding and parameter tuning, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Recommended workflow:
Start on 4-hour timeframe with default parameters and appropriate market preset
Run backtests and study performance console metrics: focus on drawdown behavior, win rate, profit factor, and trade frequency
Adjust confluence threshold to match your risk appetite—higher thresholds mean fewer but more selective trades
Set realistic daily and weekly risk budgets appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance
Consider ATR multiplier adjustments based on market volatility characteristics
Only connect alerts or automation after thorough testing and parameter validation
Treat this as a risk framework with an integrated entry engine, not merely an entry signal generator. The risk controls are as important as the trade signals.
Strategy Limitations
Designed for swing trading timeframes; may not perform optimally on very short timeframes
Requires sufficient market structure to identify pivots; may struggle in choppy or low-volatility environments
Crypto markets require different parameter tuning than traditional markets
Risk limits may prevent entries during favorable setups if daily/weekly budgets are exhausted
Correlation cooldown may delay entries that would otherwise be valid
Backtesting results depend on data quality and may not reflect live trading with slippage
Design Philosophy
Many indicators tell you when price crossed a moving average or RSI left oversold. This strategy addresses questions institutional traders ask:
Who is in control of the market right now?
Is this move structurally significant or just noise?
Do I want to add more risk given what I've already done today/week?
If I'm wrong, exactly how painful can this be?
The strategy provides disciplined, repeatable answers to these questions through systematic structure analysis, confluence filtering, and multi-layer risk management.
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with:
Custom types for structure, confluence, and risk state management
Functional programming approach for reusable calculations
State management through persistent variables
Optional visual elements that can be toggled independently
The code is open-source and can be modified to suit individual needs. All important logic is visible in the source code.

Arbitrage Detector [LuxAlgo]The Arbitrage Detector unveils hidden spreads in the crypto and forex markets. It compares the same asset on the main crypto exchanges and forex brokers and displays both prices and volumes on a dashboard, as well as the maximum spread detected on a histogram divided by four user-selected percentiles. This allows traders to detect unusual, high, typical, or low spreads.
This highly customizable tool features automatic source selection (crypto or forex) based on the asset in the chart, as well as current and historical spread detection. It also features a dashboard with sortable columns and a historical histogram with percentiles and different smoothing options.
🔶 USAGE
Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of price differences for the same asset across different markets. Arbitrage traders look for these discrepancies to profit from buying where it’s cheaper and selling where it’s more expensive to capture the spread.
For begginers this tool is an easy way to understand how prices can vary between markets, helping you avoid trading at a disadvantage.
For advanced traders it is a fast tool to spot arbitrage opportunities or inefficiencies that can be exploited for profit.
Arbitrage opportunities are often short‑lived, but they can be highly profitable. By showing you where spreads exist, this tool helps traders:
Understand market inefficiencies
Avoid trading at unfavorable prices
Identify potential profit opportunities across exchanges
As we can see in the image, the tool consists of two main graphics: a dashboard on the main chart and a histogram in the pane below.
Both are useful for understanding the behavior of the same asset on different crypto exchanges or forex brokers.
The tool's main goal is to detect and categorize spread activity across the major crypto and forex sources. The comparison uses data from up to 19 crypto exchanges and 13 forex brokers.
🔹 Forex or Crypto
The tool selects the appropriate sources (crypto exchanges or forex brokers) based on the asset in the chart. Traders can choose which one to use.
The image shows the prices and volumes for Bitcoin and the euro across the main sources, sorted by descending average price over the last 20 days.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard displays a list of all sources with four main columns: last price, average price, volume, and total volume.
All four columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order, or left unsorted. A background gradient color is displayed for the sorted column.
Price and volume delta information between the chart asset and each exchange can be enabled or disabled from the settings panel.
🔹 Histogram
The histogram is excellent for visualizing historical values and comparing them with the asset price.
In this case, we have the Euro/U.S. Dollar daily chart. As we can see, the unusual spread activity detected since 2016, with values at or above 98%, is usually a good indication of increased trader activity, which may result in a key price area where the market could turn around.
By default, the histogram has the gradient and smoothing auto features enabled.
The differences are visible in the chart above. On top is an adaptive moving average with higher values for unusual activity. At the bottom is an exponential moving average with a length of 9.
The differences between the gradient and solid colors are evident. In the first case, the colors are in sync with the data values, becoming more yellow with higher values and more green with lower values. In the second case, the colors are solid and only distinguish data above or below the defined percentiles.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sources: Choose between crypto exchanges, forex brokers, or automatic selection based on the asset in the chart.
Average Length: Select the length for the price and volume averages.
🔹 Percentiles
Percentile Length: Select the length for the percentile calculation, or enable the use of the full dataset. Enabling this option may result in runtime errors due to exceeding the allotted resources.
Unusual % >: Select the unusual percentile.
High % >: Select the high percentile.
Typical % >: Select the typical percentile.
🔹 Dashboard
Dashboard: Enable or disable the dashboard.
Sorting: Select the sorting column and direction.
Position: Select the dashboard location.
Size: Select the dashboard size.
Price Delta: Show the price difference between each exchange and the asset on the chart.
Volume Delta: Show the volume difference between each exchange and the asset on the chart.
🔹 Style
Unusual: Enable the plot of the unusual percentile and select its color.
High: Enable the plot of the high percentile and select its color.
Typical: Enable the plot of the typical percentile and select its color.
Low: Select the color for the low percentile.
Percentiles Auto Color: Enable auto color for all plotted percentiles.
Histogram Gradient: Enable the gradient color for the histogram.
Histogram Smoothing: Select the length of the EMA smoothing for the histogram or enable the Auto feature. The Auto feature uses an adaptive moving average with the data percent rank as the efficiency ratio.
Elliott Wave Full Fractal System v2.0Elliott Wave Full Fractal System v2.0 – Q.C. FINAL (Guaranteed R/R)
Elliott Wave Full Fractal System is a multi-timeframe wave engine that automatically labels Elliott impulses and ABC corrections, then builds a rule-based, ATR-driven risk/reward framework around the “W3–W4–W5” leg.
“Guaranteed R/R” here means every order is placed with a predefined stop-loss and take-profit that respect a minimum Reward:Risk ratio – it does not mean guaranteed profits.
Core Idea
This strategy turns a full fractal Elliott Wave labelling engine into a systematic trading model.
It scans fractal pivots on three wave degrees (Primary, Intermediate, Minor) to detect 5-wave impulses and ABC corrections.
A separate “Trading Degree” pivot stream, filtered by a 200-EMA trend filter and ATR-based dynamic pivots, is then used to find W4 pullback entries with a minimum, user-defined Reward:Risk ratio.
Default Properties & Risk Assumptions
The backtest uses realistic but conservative defaults:
// Default properties used for backtesting
strategy(
"Elliott Wave Full Fractal System - Q.C. FINAL (Guaranteed R/R)",
overlay = true,
initial_capital = 10000, // realistic account size
default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity,
default_qty_value = 1, // 1% risk per trade
commission_type = strategy.commission.cash_per_contract,
commission_value = 0.005, // example stock commission
slippage = 0 // see notes below
)
Account size: 10,000 (can be changed to match your own account).
Position sizing: 1% of equity per trade to keep risk per idea sustainable and aligned with TradingView’s recommendations.
Commission: 0.005 cash per contract/share as a realistic example for stock trading.
Slippage: set to 0 in code for clarity of “pure logic” backtesting. Real-life trading will experience slippage, so users should adjust this according to their market and broker.
Always re-run the backtest after changing any of these values, and avoid using high risk fractions (5–10%+) as that is rarely sustainable.
1. Full Fractal Wave Engine
The script builds and maintains four pivot streams using ATR-adaptive fractals:
Primary Degree (Macro Trend):
Captures the large swings that define the major trend. Labels ①–⑤ and ⒶⒷⒸ using blue “Circle” labels and thicker lines.
Intermediate Degree (Trading Degree):
Captures the medium swings (swing-trading horizon). Uses teal labels ( (1)…(5), (A)(B)(C) ).
Minor Degree (Micro Structure):
Tracks short-term swings inside the larger waves. Uses red roman numerals (i…v, a b c).
ABC Corrections (Optional):
When enabled, the engine tries to detect standard A–B–C corrective structures that follow a completed 5-wave impulse and plots them with dashed lines.
Each degree uses a dynamic pivot lookback that expands when ATR is above its EMA, so the system naturally requires “stronger” pivots in volatile environments and reacts faster in quiet conditions.
2. Theory Rules & Strict Mode
Normal Mode: More permissive detection. Designed to show more wave structures for educational / exploratory use.
Strict Mode: Enforces key Elliott constraints:
Wave 3 not shorter than waves 1 and 5.
No invalid W4 overlap with W1 (for standard impulses).
ABC Logic: After a confirmed bullish impulse, the script expects a down-up-down corrective pattern (A,B,C). After a bearish impulse, it looks for up-down-up.
3. Trend Filter & Pivots
EMA Trend Filter: A configurable EMA (default 200) is used as a non-wave trend filter.
Price above EMA → Only long setups are considered.
Price below EMA → Only short setups are considered.
ATR-Adaptive Pivots: The pivot engine scales its left/right bars based on current ATR vs ATR EMA, making waves and trading pivots more robust in volatile regimes.
4. Dynamic Risk Management (Guaranteed R/R Engine)
The trading engine is designed around risk, not just pattern recognition:
ATR-Based Stop:
Stop-loss is placed at:
Entry ± ATR × Multiplier (user-configurable, default 2.0).
This anchors risk to current volatility.
Minimum Reward:Risk Ratio:
For each setup, the script:
Computes the distance from entry to stop (risk).
Projects a take-profit target at risk × min_rr_ratio away from entry.
Only accepts the setup if risk is positive and the required R:R ratio is achievable.
Result: Every order is created with both TP and SL at a predefined distance, so each trade starts with a known, minimum Reward:Risk profile by design.
“Guaranteed R/R” refers exclusively to this order placement logic (TP/SL geometry), not to win-rate or profitability.
5. Trading Logic – W3–W4–W5 Pattern
The Trading pivot stream (separate from visual wave degrees) looks for a simple but powerful pattern:
Bullish structure:
Sequence of pivots forms a higher-high / higher-low pattern.
Price is above the EMA trend filter.
A strong “W3” leg is confirmed with structure rules (optionally stricter in Strict mode).
Entry (Long – W4 Pullback):
The “height” of W3 is measured.
Entry is placed at a configurable Fibonacci pullback (default 50%) inside that leg.
ATR-based stop is placed below entry.
Take-profit is projected to satisfy min Reward:Risk.
Bearish structure:
Mirrored logic (lower highs/lows, price below EMA, W3 down, W4 retrace up, W5 continuation down).
Once a valid setup is found, the script draws a colored box around the entry zone and a label describing the type of signal (“LONG SETUP” or “SHORT SETUP”) with the suggested limit price.
6. Orders & Execution
Entry Orders: The strategy uses limit orders at the computed W4 level (“Sniper Long” or “Sniper Short”).
Exits: A single strategy.exit() is attached to each entry with:
Take-profit at the projected minimum R:R target.
Stop-loss at ATR-based level.
One Trade at a Time: New setups are only used when there is no open position (strategy.opentrades == 0) to keep the logic clear and risk contained.

8. How to Use This Strategy
Attach the strategy to your chart
Choose your market (stocks, indices, FX, crypto, futures, etc.) and timeframe (for example 1h, 4h, or Daily). Then add the strategy to the chart from your Scripts list.
Start with the default settings
Leave all inputs on their defaults first. This lets you see the “intended” behaviour and the exact properties used for the published backtest (account size, 1% risk, commission, etc.).
Study the wave map
Zoom in and out and look at the three wave degrees:
Blue circles → Primary degree (big picture trend).
Teal (1)…(5) → Intermediate degree (swing structure).
Red i…v → Minor degree (micro waves).
Use this to understand how the engine is interpreting the Elliott structure on your symbol.
Watch for valid setups
Look for the coloured boxes and labels:
Green box + “LONG SETUP” label → potential W4 pullback long in an uptrend.
Red box + “SHORT SETUP” label → potential W4 pullback short in a downtrend.
Only trades in the direction of the EMA trend filter are allowed by the strategy.
Check the Reward:Risk of each idea
For each setup, inspect:
Limit entry price.
ATR-based stop level.
Projected take-profit level.
Make sure the minimum Reward:Risk ratio matches your own rules before you consider trading it.
Backtest and evaluate
Open the Strategy Tester:
Verify you have a decent sample size (ideally 100+ trades).
Check drawdowns, average trade, win-rate and R:R distribution.
Change markets and timeframes to see where the logic behaves best.
Adapt to your own risk profile
If you plan to use it live:
Set Initial Capital to your real account size.
Adjust default_qty_value to a risk level you are comfortable with (often 0.5–2% per trade).
Set commission and slippage to realistic broker values.
Re-run the backtest after every major change.
Use as a framework, not a signal machine
Treat this as a structured Elliott/R:R framework:
Filter signals by higher-timeframe trend, major S/R, volume, or fundamentals.
Optionally hide some wave degrees or ABC labels if you want a cleaner chart.
Combine the system’s structure with your own trade management and discretion.
Best Practices & Limitations
This is an approximate Elliott Wave engine based on fractal pivots. It does not replace a full discretionary Elliott analysis.
All wave counts are algorithmic and can differ from a manual analyst’s interpretation.
Like any backtest, results depend heavily on:
Symbol and timeframe.
Sample size (more trades are better).
Realistic commission/slippage settings.
The 0-slippage default is chosen only to show the “raw logic”. In real markets, slippage can significantly impact performance.
No strategy wins all the time. Losing streaks and drawdowns will still occur even with a strict R:R framework.

ChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance StrategyChronoPulse MS-MACD Resonance Strategy
A systematic trading strategy that combines higher-timeframe market structure analysis with dual MACD momentum confirmation, ATR-based risk management, and real-time quality assurance monitoring.
Core Principles
The strategy operates on the principle of multi-timeframe confluence, requiring agreement between:
Market structure breaks (CHOCH/BOS) on a higher timeframe
Dual MACD momentum confirmation (classic and crypto-tuned profiles)
Trend alignment via directional EMAs
Volatility and volume filters
Quality score composite threshold
Strategy Components
Market Structure Engine : Detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) events using confirmed pivots on a configurable higher timeframe. Default structure timeframe is 240 minutes (4H).
Dual MACD Fusion : Requires agreement between two MACD configurations:
Classic MACD: 12/26/9 (default)
Fusion MACD: 8/21/5 (default, optimized for crypto volatility)
Both must agree on direction before trade execution. This can be disabled to use single MACD confirmation.
Trend Alignment : Uses two EMAs for directional bias:
Directional EMA: 55 periods (default)
Execution Trend Guide: 34 periods (default)
Both must align with trade direction.
ATR Risk Management : All risk parameters are expressed in ATR multiples:
Stop Loss: 1.5 × ATR (default)
Take Profit: 3.0 × ATR (default)
Trail Activation: 1.0 × ATR profit required (default)
Trail Distance: 1.5 × ATR behind price (default)
Volume Surge Filter : Optional gate requiring current volume to exceed a multiple of the volume SMA. Default threshold is 1.4× the 20-period volume SMA.
Quality Score Gate : Composite score (0-1) combining:
Structure alignment (0.0-1.0)
Momentum strength (0.0-1.0)
Trend alignment (0.0-1.0)
ATR volatility score (0.0-1.0)
Volume intensity (0.0-1.0)
Default threshold: 0.62. Trades only execute when quality score exceeds this threshold.
Execution Discipline : Trade budgeting system:
Maximum trades per session: 6 (default)
Cooldown bars between entries: 5 (default)
Quality Assurance Console : Real-time monitoring panel displaying:
Structure status (pass/fail)
Momentum confirmation (pass/fail)
Volatility readiness (pass/fail)
Quality score (pass/fail)
Discipline compliance (pass/fail)
Performance metrics (win rate, profit factor)
Net PnL
Certification requires: Win Rate ≥ 40%, Profit Factor ≥ 1.4, Minimum 25 closed trades, and positive net profit.
Integrity Suite : Optional validation panel that audits:
Configuration sanity checks
ATR data readiness
EMA hierarchy validity
Performance realism checks

Price is above both EMAs for longs (below for shorts)
ATR data is ready and above minimum threshold
Volume exceeds threshold × SMA (if volume gate enabled)
Quality score ≥ quality threshold
Trade budget available (under max trades per day)
Cooldown period satisfied
Risk Management
Stop loss and take profit are set immediately on entry
Trailing stop activates after 1.0 ATR of profit
Trailing stop maintains 1.5 ATR distance behind highest profit point
Position sizing uses 2% of equity per trade (default)
No pyramiding (single position per direction)
Limitations and Considerations
The strategy requires sufficient historical data for higher timeframe structure analysis
Quality gate may filter out many potential trades, reducing trade frequency
Performance metrics are based on historical backtesting and do not guarantee future results
Commission and slippage assumptions (0.015% + 2 ticks) may vary by broker
The strategy is optimized for trending markets with clear structure breaks
Choppy or ranging markets may produce false signals
Crypto markets may require different parameter tuning than traditional assets
Optimization Notes
The strategy includes several parameters that can be tuned for different market conditions:
Quality Threshold : Lower values (0.50-0.60) allow more trades but may reduce average quality. Higher values (0.70+) are more selective but may miss opportunities.
Structure Timeframe : Use 240 (4H) for intraday trading, Daily for swing trading, Weekly for position trading
Volume Gate : Disable for low-liquidity pairs or when volume data is unreliable
Dual MACD Fusion : Disable for mean-reverting markets where single MACD may be more responsive
Trade Discipline : Adjust max trades and cooldown based on your risk tolerance and market volatility
Non-Repainting Guarantee
All higher timeframe data requests use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting. Pivot detection waits for full confirmation before registering structure breaks. All visual elements (tables, labels) update only on closed bars.
Alerts
Three alert conditions are available:
ChronoPulse Long Setup : Fires when all long entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse Short Setup : Fires when all short entry conditions are met
ChronoPulse QA Certification : Fires when Quality Assurance console reaches CERTIFIED status
Configure alerts with "Once Per Bar Close" delivery to match the non-repainting design.
Visual Elements
Structure Labels : CHOCH↑, CHOCH↓, BOS↑, BOS↓ markers on structure breaks
Directional EMA : Orange line showing trend bias
Trailing Stop Lines : Green (long) and red (short) trailing stop levels
Dashboard Panel : Real-time status display (structure, MACD, ATR, quality, PnL)
QA Console : Quality assurance monitoring panel
Integrity Suite Panel : Optional validation status display
Recommended Usage
Forward test with paper trading before live deployment
Monitor the QA console until it reaches CERTIFIED status
Adjust parameters based on your specific market and timeframe
Respect the trade discipline limits to avoid over-trading
Review quality scores and adjust threshold if needed
Use appropriate commission and slippage settings for your broker
Technical Implementation
The strategy uses Pine Script v6 with the following key features:
Multi-timeframe data requests with lookahead protection
Confirmed pivot detection for structure analysis
Dynamic trailing stop management
Real-time quality score calculation
Trade budgeting and cooldown enforcement
Comprehensive dashboard and monitoring panels
All source code is open and available for review and modification.

Classic Wave: The Easy WayClassic Wave is a simple strategy with few rules and no over-optimization. Despite its simplicity, it is backed by a nearly century-long historical track record, delivering excellent returns on the weekly chart of the SPX (TVC).
I also recommend observing its strong performance on the SPY (weekly), which is the perfect instrument for executing this strategy with futures in the future.
Strategy Rules and Parameters
When a bullish candle closes above the 20-period EMA, we place the stop-loss below the low of that candle and target a risk-reward ratio of 1:1.
A second, more profitable variant is to change the risk-reward ratio in the code to 2:1.
-Total capital: $10,000
-We use 10% of the total capital per trade.
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade.
The code construction is simple and very well detailed within the script itself.
Risk-Reward Ratio 2:1
Using a 2:1 risk-reward ratio reduces the win rate but significantly increases profitability.
Across the full historical data of the SPX index (weekly), the system would have generated 236 trades, with a win rate of 51.27% and a profit factor of 2.53.
From January 1, 2023, to November 28, 2025, the system would have generated 5 trades, with an 80% win rate and a profit factor of 9.244.
What makes this system so good?
-It takes advantage of the long-term bullish bias of U.S. stock indices and traditional markets.
-It filters out a lot of noise thanks to the weekly timeframe.
-It uses simple parameters with no over-optimization.
Final Notes:
This strategy has consistently outperformed the returns offered by most traditional funds over time, with fewer drawdowns and significantly less stress. I hope you like it.
