Crypto EMA Trend Reversal StrategyThis is an EMA crossover strategy which involves 5 EMAs to trigger trades. The strategy has two take profit settings and uses a stop loss.
TP1 and SL are based on ATR and TP2 is an EMA crossover.
The strategy goes both long and short and the default settings work particularly well as a scalping strategy for ETHUSDT on the 5M time frame.
I have also created another version with tweaked settings for scalping LINKUSDT on the 5M with very similar results.
There is an option to add a volume condition parameter within the script on lines 26-28 which can be added to the end of lines 34-35 in the following format: and vol_cond
I personally don't currently use the volume condition parameter.

EBB & Flow: a multi-EMA-based BB cloudIntro
This is an idea evolved out of the market maker method and EMA convergence, divergence, and mean reversion.
The market maker method informs us that the 5, 13, 50 and 200 EMAs are important to regulating price. Those EMA lengths are multiples of the 50 and 200 on lower major timeframes -- the 1 minute, 5, 15, 1H, 4H, 1D. I include the 21 because it is also a multiple and in crypto very often respected.
When market makers are testing price, they set their range and spike in the direction they test for liquidity. This can get chaotic. For instance, in a shorter time frame consolidation inside a bigger timeframe uptrend, it can be too easy to forget where you are in the many trends playing out.
When the EMAs are dragged over each other during normal price movement, you get these crisscrossing tracks of price, and the individual breaks can be hard to trace.
The range is what matters, ultimately, and the range is dynamic. In that case, the Bollinger Band is a great tool for detecting outliers in this case.
The Answer
So the answer this indicator seeks to give, is to look for outliers. This gives you a scalping strategy built on Traders Reality thinking and best put together with the PVSRA indicator, which I may include in this indicator just for the sake of concision, but they can work alongside each other or separately.
The key thing is the different EMA clouds, which are bollinger bands. Tight bands mean imminent breaks, favouring the trend. Vector candles out of a zone, pins to the low/high, etc. are all very relevant alongside this indicator.
You can also use it on its own and scalp the breaks of a cloud.
How it works
Each cloud is a standard deviation from their respective EMA, all in the same colour. The deviation multiple is 1.618 by default. Yes, fibonacci sequences are usually nonsense, but it works better with the BB than 2, 2.5 or 3.
Using just the clouds, you can see where each EMA is headed and how it behaves within the deviation of the others.
But that on its own isn't enough.
The indicator will also print snowflakes above and below the candle for notable outliers. It will be in the colour of the cloud it breaks, but only if that break is also breaking the smaller EMA clouds too.
The most snowflakes will be yellow because that's the 13 EMA. That one is dependent on nothing else and every break will print a snowflake. The 21 will be dependent on the 13. The 50 dependent on the 13 and 21 breaks. The 200 the most important.
For example, if the 200 EMA-BB or EBB is broken at the upper band, deviating by more than 162% of price over a 200 period EMA, and that break is not above the 50 EMA cloud, there will be no snowflake. However, if it exceeds the 13, 21, 50, and 200 clouds, then a purple snowflake will appear above the bar.
Any snowflake is an extreme in price. The purple is an especially good point of entry. That doesn't mean it is a perfect entry. You can build position from it, though, and be relatively certain of a price correction in the near future, because not only was this major EMA cloud violated, but all of the smaller ones too.
Reminder
You still need your PVSRA and candlesticks. This indicator on its own may have a nice hit rate for scalping and building position, as an alternative to the TDI or alongside it, but it is not enough on its own, just like the TDI.
Enjoy!
L1 Mid-Term Swing Oscillator v1Level: 1
Background
Oscillators are widely used set of technical analysis indicators. They are popular primarily for their ability to alert of a possible trend change before that change manifests itself in price and volume . They should work best in times of sideways markets.
Function
L1 Short-Mid-Long-Term Swing Oscillator puts three terms of oscillators to cover short-term, middle-term and long-term oscillators at the same time. By resonating all these three oscillators, short-term scalping signal and middle term swing signal are disclosed. You can see both short and mid term signal under one indicator which give you more confidence to follow the trend.
Key Signal
I didn't handle the key signals well. I piled up all the useful signals I found, and it is really difficult to classify them one by one. I feel tired when I think about this problem. Therefore, the code of the overall signal is rather confusing, sorry.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Three oscillators are used to cover short, mid, long term oscillations.
2. Short-Mid term resonance can be observed to have higher confidence level.
3. Use single indicator for scalping and swing trading is possible.
Cons:
1. No deep dive into very accurate long and short entries.
2. A trade off between sensitivity and stability may be needed by traders' subjective judge.
Remarks
I enjoyed the fun of put three different oscillator together to cover short, mid, long terms. But how to use them perfectly is really more brainstorming.
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Bandpass Cycle Indicator [Ehlers]This indicator is NOT used for entry and exit conditions when trading. Instead, it's purpose is to tell you what the state of the market is: trending or cyclical.
>WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is especially useful for strategies that use scalping or martingale betting to turn a profit. You don't want to be caught in a bullish trend with several open short orders. Algo traders welcome.
>HOW DOES IT WORK?
I'm glad you asked. It's based on Ehlers' work regarding signal filtering. Essentially, it uses a bandpass filter to reduce noise that is inherent in the market and display the underlying frequency.
First, we get rid of the high-frequency noise - think jitters, long wicks, etc... price action that usually effects EMAs and other MAs. We don't want any of that.
Next, we get rid of low-frequency noise - this is a little more difficult to picture, but we're essentially ignoring cycles (Elliot waves) from other longer time frames. We don't care if the Daily bars are just about to reverse if it doesn't affect our scalping strategy.
Finally, we find the root mean square (RMS) of the high and low points of our newly created signal (red) and plot them (black). These will act as triggers to tell us if a market is in cycle or trending.
>HOW DO YOU READ IT?
Background colors:
-Blue is cycle - you're safe.
-Red is trending down
-Green is trending up
Crossovers:
-Red above Upper Black: Uptrend
-Red below Lower Black: Downtrend
-Red in the middle: Cycle
>IS IT PREDICTIVE?
Momentum tends to pick up quickly and decline quickly, so if you'll often see a small Red or Green strip before a large price movement.
After long periods of cyclic movement (or consolidation), there isn't much momentum in the system, so any small price action will be considered a trend -> these small movements are picked up by other human traders and bots. Trading volume increases more and more until you have a swing in one direction.
So yes, it can be predictive due to the nature of signals and oscillation. Maybe not necessarily predictive of which direction price will go, but when volatility is about to increase.
5 EMAs plus Crossing AlertsHi all,
This is a simple indicator that plots 5 EMA lines of your choice to the screen.
Can be used to trigger scalping Bots (stoploss around 0.5% recommended, take profit 1% or higher, please backtest!)
Also can be used for manual scalping, 1 or 2 candles at a time.
Features:
1) Alerts are triggered when EMAs 1 (Signal line) and 2 (Baseline) cross - a Long signal is called if the cross is above EMA 3 (Trendline), a short if the cross is below EMA3
2) Signals are represented visually as a triangle on the chart, below the candles is a long, above is a short
3) TradingView Alerts can be easily set as I have labelled the signals clearly as many other Indicators like this aren’t easy to work out if trying to create alerts to trigger a 3commas bot, for example!
Each EMA is fully customisable and if you wish to take advantage of the alerts, only a few simple rules need to be followed:
EMA1 needs to be less than EMA2.
EMA2 needs to be the same or greater than EMA3
That’s it, happy trading!
Big shout out to B and the gang over at Crypto Trading Group!

The Blessed Trader Ph. | Double EMA + RSI (20) Strategy v1.0📊 The Blessed Trader Ph.
Double EMA + RSI (20) Strategy — v1.0
1️⃣ Strategy Overview
This is a trend-following breakout strategy designed to:
Catch strong directional moves
Filter out weak trades using momentum confirmation
Control risk with ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit
It works best in trending markets such as:
Crypto (BTC, ETH, altcoins)
Forex (major & minor pairs)
Indices (NAS100, US30, SPX)
2️⃣ Indicators Used
🔹 Double EMA Channel
EMA 20 High → Dynamic resistance
EMA 20 Low → Dynamic support
These two EMAs create a price channel:
Break above → bullish strength
Break below → bearish weakness
Unlike a single EMA on close, using High & Low EMAs helps:
Reduce fake breakouts
Confirm real price expansion
🔹 RSI (20)
Measures momentum strength
RSI > 50 → bullish momentum
RSI < 50 → bearish momentum
RSI is used only as a filter, not as an overbought/oversold signal.
🔹 ATR (14)
Measures market volatility
Used to calculate:
Stop Loss (1.5 × ATR)
Take Profit (3.0 × ATR)
This makes the strategy:
Adaptive to any market
Effective across timeframes
3️⃣ Trade Rules (Very Important)
✅ BUY (LONG) Conditions
A buy trade is opened only when all conditions are met:
Price closes above EMA 20 High
RSI (20) is above 50
Candle is confirmed (bar close)
➡️ This means:
“Price has broken resistance with strong momentum.”
❌ SELL / EXIT Conditions
The long trade is closed when:
Price closes below EMA 20 Low
RSI (20) is below 50
➡️ This signals:
“Trend strength is weakening or reversing.”
🛑 Stop Loss & 🎯 Take Profit
Stop Loss = Entry − (ATR × 1.5)
Take Profit = Entry + (ATR × 3.0)
Risk–Reward ≈ 1 : 2
This protects capital and lets winners run.
4️⃣ Why This Strategy Works
✔ Trades with the trend
✔ Avoids ranging markets
✔ Uses confirmation, not prediction
✔ Non-repainting (bar close only)
✔ Works on any timeframe

SMC BOS Strategy 1:1 RRThe SMC BOS Strategy 1:1 RR is a Smart Money Concepts–based trading strategy designed to capture high-probability market continuation moves after a Break of Structure (BOS). It focuses on trading in the direction of institutional momentum with clear risk control.
📌 Core Concept
Markets move in structure (higher highs & higher lows in an uptrend, lower highs & lower lows in a downtrend).
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price closes beyond a previous swing high or swing low, signaling that smart money may be pushing price in a new or continued direction.
⚙️ Strategy Rules
1️⃣ Market Structure Identification
Swing highs and swing lows define key structure levels.
These levels act as institutional decision points.
2️⃣ Break of Structure (BOS)
Bullish BOS: Price closes above the previous structure high.
Bearish BOS: Price closes below the previous structure low.
3️⃣ Trade Entry
Buy after a bullish BOS.
Sell after a bearish BOS.
Entry is taken at the close of the BOS candle.
4️⃣ Risk Management (1:1 RR)
Stop Loss (SL):
Long trades → below previous structure low.
Short trades → above previous structure high.
Take Profit (TP):
Set equal to the stop-loss distance (1:1 risk–reward).
📊 Why 1:1 Risk–Reward?
Ensures high win-rate focus.
Suitable for scalping and intraday trading.
Protects capital with consistent, controlled risk.
✅ Key Advantages
✔ Clear and objective rules
✔ Institutional price-action logic (SMC)
✔ Automatic stop loss & take profit
✔ Works on Forex, Gold, Crypto, Indices
✔ Easy to backtest and optimize

Box BO signals v1Box Breakout Direction Flip Signals is a smart price‐action tool designed to identify clean directional shifts using consolidation boxes and breakout logic.
The indicator draws dynamic high–low range boxes and generates Buy (B) and Sell (S) signals only when direction flips, avoiding repeated noise signals during trending moves.
✔ First breakout after box marks direction (Buy or Sell)
✔ Signals alternate: S → B → S → B, never repeating
✔ No signals while price simply continues in same direction
✔ Labels are spaced away from candles for clean visibility
✔ Works best on lower timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m) for scalping / intraday
🎯 How It Works
1️⃣ A consolidation zone forms automatically using candle high–low
2️⃣ Breakout above the box → Buy label → new box begins
3️⃣ Breakout below the box → Sell label → new box begins
4️⃣ Signals print only on actual directional change (flip)
5️⃣ Boxes extend dynamically until breakout occurs
ORB W/ Custom time FramesRelease Notes: Simplified ORB (Opening Range Breakout)
This indicator is a streamlined, high-performance tool designed to identify the Opening Range—one of the most widely used concepts by professional floor traders and institutional scalpers. It marks the high, low, and midpoint of the initial balance of the market, providing you with a "map" for the rest of the trading session.
Key Features
Customizable Timeframes: Define your opening range window (e.g., the first 5, 15, or 30 minutes) regardless of what timeframe you are currently viewing.
Custom Session Support: Choose between standard market hours (09:30–16:00) or define your own custom window (e.g., the London Open or the first hour of "Power Hour").
Real-Time Midpoint Calculation: Automatically plots the 50% Equilibrium level between the high and low, serving as a pivot point for intraday bias.
Dynamic Updating: During the ORB window, the lines adjust in real-time as new highs or lows are set. Once the window expires, the levels lock in place to act as support and resistance.
Clean Visuals: Utilizes a lightweight line drawing system that is easy on your GPU and keeps the chart clutter-free.
Why This is Essential for Scalping
Scalpers rely on volatility and clear "lines in the sand." The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) provides exactly that:
The "Opening Drive": If price breaks the ORB High with high volume, scalpers look for quick "long" momentum plays. Conversely, a break below the ORB Low signals a bearish trend.
The Midpoint Pivot: The 50% level (Mid) is often treated as the "Fair Value" of the morning. If price is above the mid, the bias is bullish; if below, the bias is bearish.
Stop Loss / Take Profit Anchor: The ORB High and Low act as natural areas for placing stops or targets. A failed breakout that returns inside the range often targets the opposite side of the box.
Volatility Regimes | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
=========
This is a comprehensive ATR-based trading system designed for professional
traders who need advanced volatility analysis, precise trade management, and
intelligent market regime detection. The indicator combines multiple proven
volatility concepts into one powerful, customizable tool.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
====================================================
This is not simply a collection of ATR-based indicators placed together.
It represents a unified volatility analysis framework where each component
is specifically designed to work in concert with the others, creating a
complete trading workflow that cannot be replicated by using multiple
separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION - How Components Work Together:
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS
The Volatility Regime Detection acts as the "brain" of the system,
classifying market conditions into 4 distinct phases. Every other
component then adapts its behavior based on this regime classification:
- ATR Bands expand/contract with regime changes
- Stop Loss distances automatically adjust (tighter in compression,
wider in high volatility)
- Take Profit targets scale proportionally to current regime
- Signal sensitivity filters itself based on market phase
📐 2. UNIFIED VOLATILITY FOUNDATION
All calculations share a single ATR baseline calculation, ensuring
internal consistency across the entire system. When ATR changes, every
element updates in perfect synchronization:
- Bands recalculate from the same ATR value
- Risk management levels use the same volatility measurement
- Regime classification and signals reference identical data
🛡️ 3. INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT
The system doesn't just show WHERE to enter - it calculates HOW MUCH
to risk:
- Dynamic Stop Loss adapts to current ATR automatically
- Position Size Calculator uses the dynamic stop to compute exact quantities
- Take Profit levels scale proportionally, maintaining optimal risk:reward
✅ 4. TWO-STAGE SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
The alert system creates a logical progression:
Step 1: Volatility Breakout → Market energy is building
Step 2: Trend Confirmation → Direction confirmed with volatility support
This prevents false breakouts by requiring both volatility AND direction.
🏦 5. PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
The system mirrors how institutional traders analyze markets:
Phase 1: Assess regime → What's the market doing?
Phase 2: Identify setup → Where's the opportunity?
Phase 3: Calculate risk → What's my exposure?
Phase 4: Set targets → Where do I take profit?
Phase 5: Monitor regime → When do conditions change?
❌ WHY NOT USE SEPARATE INDICATORS?
- Separate ATR Bands: Don't know about regime changes, remain static
- Separate Regime Indicator: Doesn't automatically adjust stop/targets
- Separate Position Calculator: Doesn't know your actual ATR-based stop
- Manual Integration: Requires constant mental calculation and cross-referencing
🧮 DETAILED CALCULATION METHODOLOGY:
=================================
📏 ATR (AVERAGE TRUE RANGE) CALCULATION:
- True Range = Maximum of:
1. Current High - Current Low
2. Absolute value of (Current High - Previous Close)
3. Absolute value of (Current Low - Previous Close)
- ATR = Simple Moving Average of True Range over specified period (default: 14)
📊 DYNAMIC ATR BANDS:
- Upper Band = Current Close + (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Lower Band = Current Close - (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Band 1: 1.0× ATR (closest support/resistance)
- Band 2: 2.0× ATR (intermediate zone)
- Band 3: 3.0× ATR (extended zone)
🌡️ VOLATILITY REGIME CLASSIFICATION:
Step 1: Calculate ATR Baseline
- Baseline ATR = SMA or EMA of ATR over long period (default: 50 bars)
- This represents "normal" volatility for the instrument
Step 2: Calculate ATR Ratio
- ATR Ratio = Current ATR ÷ Baseline ATR
- Example: If current ATR = 70 and baseline = 50, ratio = 1.40
Step 3: Classify Regime Based on Ratio
- COMPRESSION: Ratio < 0.70 (ATR is 30% below normal)
Market consolidating, volatility contracting, energy building
- EXPANSION: Ratio between 1.15 and 1.40 (ATR is 15-40% above normal)
Volatility breaking out, early phase of directional movement
- HIGH VOLATILITY: Ratio > 1.40 (ATR is 40%+ above normal)
Strong sustained trend with high participation
- EXHAUSTION: ATR declining after high volatility period
Requires: Previous high ratio + declining ATR over X bars (default: 5)
Trend maturity, potential reversal or consolidation approaching
🛑 DYNAMIC STOP LOSS CALCULATION:
- For Long Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- For Short Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- Default Multiplier: 2.0× ATR
- Adjusts automatically: Wider in high volatility, tighter in compression
🎯 TAKE PROFIT LEVELS:
- TP1 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
- TP2 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
- TP3 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP3 Multiplier)
- Direction (+ or -) depends on trade direction
📦 POSITION SIZE CALCULATION:
Formula: Position Size = Account Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss Distance
Step-by-step:
1. Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage ÷ 100)
2. Stop Distance = |Entry Price - Stop Loss Price|
3. Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Stop Distance
📈 ATR PERCENTILE RANKING:
- >80% = Extremely high volatility
- 20-80% = Normal volatility range
- <20% = Extremely low volatility
🌀 VOLATILITY CONTRACTION PATTERN:
Detects extended low-volatility periods indicating imminent breakout.
🧭 TREND DETECTION SIGNALS:
Bullish: Price > MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
Bearish: Price < MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
⚡ VOLATILITY BREAKOUT SIGNALS:
Triggered when ATR exceeds its moving average by a defined threshold.

Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) [ Alerts] Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition)
► Overview
The Session Ranges ( AMT Edition) is a session-based market structure and auction analysis tool designed to visually reveal acceptance, rejection, imbalance, and continuation across the Asia, London, and New York CME trading sessions.
Unlike typical indicators, this script is grounded in Auction Market Theory (AMT) and session-based structure, focusing on how price behaves at session extremes rather than relying on lagging calculations, oscillators, or predictive algorithms. Its purpose is to highlight areas where the market has earned the right to be traded, providing traders with a clear, rules-based framework for high-probability directional trades.
Important for backtesting: To properly backtest session extremes, Interaction Lines, and Closest Opposite Extreme Lines, you must use TradingView’s replay mode, as real-time bar-by-bar progression is required to observe how the market interacts with session extremes over time.
► Key Innovations
This is not a conventional session high/low indicator. Its originality comes from several unique design elements:
Differentiates interaction from true acceptance: Price touching an extreme does not automatically indicate directional intent.
Separates directional confirmation from range-bound indecision: Only confirmed crossings beyond the Interaction Line signal actionable bias.
Tracks failed auctions and partial acceptance: No volume profile or order book data required.
Visual, rule-based trade permission: Signals are objective, minimizing subjective interpretation.
Interaction & Closest Opposite Extreme Lines: Together, these lines map how far an auction progresses after an extreme is tested, highlighting continuation, partial acceptance, or failed auctions.
► Core Concepts Explained
1. Session Highs & Lows (Solid Lines)
Plotted continuously for each CME session (Asia, London, New York).
Represent the current auction boundaries for that session.
2. True Interaction Lines (Thick Dotted Lines)
Drawn when price touches or breaks a session extreme:
Touching session high → dotted line at the low of that candle
Touching session low → dotted line at the high of that candle
Auction context:
Touching alone ≠ acceptance
Acceptance occurs only when price moves beyond the Interaction Line and holds
Trading principle:
Price has not crossed → no directional bias → do not trade
Price crosses and holds → directional bias established
3. Acceptance vs Rejection
Accepted direction: Price crosses and holds beyond the Interaction Line
Rejected direction: Price crosses the line but immediately reverses
Neutral / No-Trade: Price trapped between extreme and Interaction Line
Important: Acceptance is conditional and dynamic. Each time price crosses back over the Interaction Line, acceptance is lost.
4. New Extremes = Continuation
Once an Interaction Line is crossed, each new session extreme in that direction reinforces the trend.
Traders should only look for continuation setups along the established directional bias.
AMT interpretation:
Repeated new extremes → directional imbalance
Failure to make new extremes → potential balance or rotation
5. Closest Opposite Extreme Lines (Thin Dotted Lines)
After acceptance, the script tracks price progress toward the opposite session extreme.
Plotted only if price reaches a user-defined percentage of the session range.
Helps identify:
Full acceptance (price reaches opposite extreme)
Partial acceptance (price stalls)
Failed auctions (price cannot progress meaningfully)
Trading guidance once Closest Lines appear:
Partial acceptance: Price stalls near the Closest Line but does not fully reach the opposite extreme → bias remains valid, but the move may be weakening; consider scaling out or tightening stops.
Full acceptance: Price reaches the opposite extreme → directional auction fully confirmed; bias continues, but expect potential rotation or balance afterward.
Failed auction (cannot progress meaningfully): Price reverses before reaching the Closest Line → signals exhaustion; avoid chasing the move and treat as potential trend failure.
Note: Only relevant after Interaction Line is crossed; if price never crosses the Interaction Line, Closest Lines have no trading significance.
► Step-by-Step Usage
Wait for a session extreme
Let price interact with the session high or low.
Observe the Interaction Line
No cross → do not trade
Cross and hold → directional bias established
Trade in the direction of new extremes only
Ignore counter-trend trades unless the Interaction Line is lost
Manage risk using structure
Interaction Line acts as a dynamic invalidation level
Use Closest Lines for context
Partial acceptance → bias valid, watch for weakening
Full acceptance → bias strong, continuation likely
Failed attempt → potential exhaustion, do not chase
Useful for trade management, scaling, and expectation setting
► Price Retests & Pullbacks
Scenario:
Price crosses above the Interaction Line (e.g., from a low interaction).
Over the next 3–4 15-minute bars, price dips back toward the Interaction Line, with wicks touching it but no decisive close below.
Interpretation:
Initial Acceptance Confirmed: Bias remains valid while price holds above/below the line.
Temporary Pullback / Retest: Market is re-evaluating the auction; testing participant agreement.
Wicks Touching the Line: Partial probing or liquidity sweep; market still respects original acceptance.
Trading Implication:
Continuation bias remains intact.
Pullbacks near the Interaction Line offer lower-risk entries.
Decisive close below → acceptance lost, signaling trend failure or invalidation.
Market Psychology:
Healthy auction behavior: extreme tested → acceptance confirmed → boundary retested for liquidity → continuation.
Failure to hold above signals weak acceptance or exhaustion.
✅ Key Takeaways:
Holding above Interaction Line → bias intact, pullback = opportunity
Closing below Interaction Line → acceptance lost, bias invalidated
Wicks touching only → normal retest, still valid
► No-Trade Conditions
Avoid trading when:
Price never crosses the Interaction Line
Price remains trapped between the extreme and the Interaction Line
Market rotates without forming new extremes
These indicate balance, not directional opportunity.
► Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price crosses an Interaction Line for:
Asia session
London session
New York session
Alerts signal possible acceptance, not automatic trade entries.
► Who This Script Is For
Best suited for traders who:
Trade session structure in futures, indices, or FX
Follow Auction Market Theory principles
Prefer objective, rules-based confirmation
Want fewer but higher-quality trade opportunities
Not intended for:
Indicator stacking
Predictive trading
High-frequency scalping without structure
► Final Notes
This script does not tell you when to buy or sell.
It shows where the market has earned the right to be traded.
Use it as a decision filter, not a prediction engine.
Quad-EMA Strategy (10/20/30/50)This indicator combines four exponential moving averages (10, 20, 30, 50) into a single, clean framework designed for scalping, short-term trading, and trend participation. Although optimized for long-side trend participation, the EMA structure remains symmetric and usable for short-selling.
While it is highly effective on lower timeframes, it also translates well to the daily chart, especially in well-defined trends.
Core Trend Logic
On the daily timeframe, a trend can be considered healthy as long as price respects the 10 EMA.
As long as candles hold above it, the structure remains intact.
A clean daily close below the 10 EMA is treated as a discipline-based exit signal.
Not because the trend must be over — but because risk begins to increase.
There are exceptions:
After extended multi-day advances, a single pullback day slightly below the 10 EMA can occur.
In those cases, partial profit-taking (“taking chips off the table”) is often a reasonable and pragmatic move.
This is not about perfection — it’s about capital preservation.
Volatility & Pullbacks
In more volatile conditions, price may pull back toward the 20 EMA or even the 30 EMA.
From a strict risk-management perspective, this is typically where the trade should already be closed.
If a trader chooses to remain involved during such phases — especially after a strong push into a local high followed by sideways consolidation — the EMAs will often compress and flatten, forming a “sideways river.”
During this phase:
Price may temporarily dip below the 20 or 30 EMA
This alone is not a guaranteed signal that the trend is over
Context and structure matter
Riding the Wave (with Discipline)
The philosophy here is simple:
Ride the trend — but exit early.
Even after the 10 EMA is breached, price will often:
-Reclaim momentum
-Continue higher without you
That is normal.
Missing continuation is the cost of discipline, not a mistake.
More aggressive traders may tolerate pullbacks to the 20 or 30 EMA — and sometimes that works.This framework, however, follows a “cockroach strategy”:
exit at the first clear sign of stress, not at the last possible moment.
The Final Line in the Sand
The 50 EMA should be viewed as the latest and clearest exit zone.
Below this level:
-Direction becomes uncertain
-The market may form a local top
-Volatility and chop increase
At that point, prediction is pointless — and unnecessary.
The trade should already be closed.
If you find yourself still searching for an exit below the 50 EMA, that is a signal in itself:
risk has taken control of the trade.
Final Note
This indicator does not predict.
It reacts.
How strictly you trade the EMAs is a personal choice — but the structure provides a clear, repeatable framework for trend participation and risk control.
Discipline first.
Profits second.

SMC Market Structure (HH/HL/LH/LL + BOS/CHoCH/MSS)SMC Market Structure (HH/HL/LH/LL + BOS/CHoCH/MSS) is a clean price-action / Smart Money Concepts market structure tool designed to automatically identify and label key structural events on the chart:
Swing structure points: HH, HL, LH, LL
Continuation confirmations: BOS (Break of Structure)
Early reversal warnings: CHoCH (Change of Character)
Stronger reversal signals: MSS (Market Structure Shift) using a displacement filter
The script is built to remain visually tidy: it draws simple horizontal structure lines at the broken swing level and prints small abbreviations (BOS / CHoCH / MSS) directly on the chart without cluttering candles or adding heavy panels.
What the Indicator Detects
1) Swing Points (HH / HL / LH / LL)
Swings are detected using confirmed pivots (left/right “Swing length” bars).
HH (Higher High): a swing high above the previous swing high
LH (Lower High): a swing high below the previous swing high
HL (Higher Low): a swing low above the previous swing low
LL (Lower Low): a swing low below the previous swing low
These labels help define the market’s active structure:
Bullish structure: HH + HL sequence
Bearish structure: LL + LH sequence
Range / consolidation: mixed swing progression
2) BOS (Break of Structure) – Trend Continuation
A BOS prints when price breaks the most recent swing level in the direction of the current structure:
In a bullish market state → break above the most recent swing high
In a bearish market state → break below the most recent swing low
This is typically treated as confirmation that the existing trend is continuing.
3) CHoCH (Change of Character) – Early Reversal Signal
A CHoCH prints on the first break against the current structure:
In a bullish market state → break below the most recent swing low
In a bearish market state → break above the most recent swing high
CHoCH is intended as an early warning that the market may be transitioning into a new directional bias.
4) MSS (Market Structure Shift) – Stronger Reversal via Displacement
MSS is treated as a “strong CHoCH” and requires a decisive, displacement-style candle at the break.
To qualify as MSS, the script requires:
A break against structure with a CLOSE break, and
A displacement candle where:
Candle body > ATR × Displacement Multiplier
This helps filter out shallow wicks or minor liquidity grabs and highlights shifts that show stronger participation and momentum.
How the Indicator Draws on the Chart
When a BOS / CHoCH / MSS occurs:
A horizontal line is drawn from the swing point to the break bar at the broken level.
A small abbreviation label (BOS / CHoCH / MSS) is placed either:
In the middle of the line segment, or
On the break bar (selectable)
Swing labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) are optional and can be disabled for a cleaner “event-only” layout.
Inputs & Settings
Swing Length (Pivot Left/Right)
Controls how sensitive the swing detection is.
Lower values (3–5): more structure points, more signals
Higher values (8–14): fewer, cleaner swings (better for higher timeframes)
Break Confirmation (Wick vs Close)
Wick: break triggers when the candle’s wick crosses the swing level
Close: break triggers only when the candle closes beyond the swing level
Many SMC traders prefer Wick for detecting liquidity runs and early breaks, while others prefer Close to reduce false signals.
MSS Displacement Filter
ATR Length: ATR calculation period
Displacement Multiplier: Minimum body size = ATR × multiplier
Higher multiplier = fewer MSS signals, but stronger quality threshold.
Display Toggles
Show/Hide Swing Labels (HH/HL/LH/LL)
Show/Hide BOS, CHoCH, MSS
Optional EQH/EQL labeling (equal highs/lows)
Visual Controls
Bullish / bearish structure colors
Line width / style
Text offset (in ticks) to keep labels neat above/below level
Maximum structure objects to keep on screen (prevents object-limit issues)
Recommended Usage
Trend Following
Use HH/HL or LL/LH progression to define the trend.
Wait for BOS to confirm continuation.
Use BOS levels as:
Bias confirmation
Potential retest zones
Risk reference for stop placement
Reversal / Shift Detection
Identify prevailing structure (bullish or bearish).
Watch for CHoCH as the first sign of a possible reversal.
Treat MSS as a stronger “shift” event (displacement + close break), often suitable for:
Changing directional bias
Switching from pullback trading to reversal continuation setups
Multi-Timeframe Workflow (Common SMC Method)
Higher timeframe (HTF): use swings and BOS to define macro bias
Lower timeframe (LTF): use CHoCH/MSS to time entries and manage risk
Confirm entries with your preferred tools (order blocks, FVGs, liquidity pools, session timing, etc.)
Notes & Limitations
This script uses confirmed pivots, so swing labels appear only after the swing is fully formed (after Swing length bars). This avoids repainting swing points.
BOS/CHoCH/MSS events are derived from the most recent confirmed swing levels.
MSS requires a close break and displacement threshold even if “Wick” breaks are enabled for other events (by design, to keep MSS strict).
Best Settings by Timeframe (General Guide)
Scalping (1–5m): Swing length 3–5, Wick breaks, MSS multiplier 1.2–1.8
Intraday (15m–1h): Swing length 5–8, Wick or Close, MSS multiplier 1.5–2.0
Swing trading (4h–1D): Swing length 8–14, Close breaks, MSS multiplier 1.8–2.5

Trading Strategy
Based on Andrew Aziz's VWAP Methodology
Setup Requirements:
* Stock must be "in play" (gap, news, high relative volume from morning scanner)
* Price pulls back to VWAP during the trading day
* VWAP acts as support for longs (or resistance for shorts)
Entry Rules:
1. Wait for price to approach VWAP
2. Confirm VWAP as support with a bullish candle closing above it
3. Enter long on confirmation candle close or next candle open
4. All filters (trend, volume, time) must be green
Stop Loss:
* Place stop 2-5 cents below VWAP
* Adjust based on stock volatility and your risk tolerance
Profit Targets:
* First target: Previous resistance or swing high
* Second target: Daily pivot or Fibonacci extension
* Trailing stop: Move stop to breakeven once up 1:1 risk/reward
Risk Management:
* Risk 1-2% of account per trade
* Position size based on distance from stop loss
* Aim for 2:1 or 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio
Common Scenarios
Scenario 1: Clean VWAP Bounce
* All filters green ✓
* Price pulls back to VWAP
* Green triangle appears
* Action: Enter long immediately
Scenario 2: Failed Volume
* Trend ✓, Time ✓, Near VWAP ✓
* Volume ✗ (red X)
* Action: Wait for volume increase or skip trade
Scenario 3: Wrong Time Window
* All filters green except Time ✗
* Action: If you trade mid-day, consider extending time window in settings
Scenario 4: Downtrend
* Trend ✗ (EMA 20 < EMA 50)
* Action: Skip long entry; consider short setup instead
Scenario 5: False Breakout
* Light red background appears (filters failed)
* Price crossed VWAP but no confirmation
* Action: No entry; indicator correctly filtered out weak signal
Best Practices
1. Pre-Market Preparation
* Run your gappers scanner at 9:00 AM EST
* Identify 3-5 stocks "in play"
* Add VWAP Long Entry PRO to each chart
* Set up alerts for your watchlist
2. Chart Timeframe Selection
* 1-minute: Scalping, high-frequency entries (more signals, more noise)
* 2-minute: Balanced (recommended for beginners)
* 5-minute: Swing entries, fewer but higher-quality signals
3. Combine with Price Action
The indicator is a filter and alert system, not a complete strategy. Also consider:
* Support/resistance levels
* Candlestick patterns (hammer, engulfing)
* Overall market trend (SPY, QQQ)
* Stock-specific news and catalysts
4. Backtesting
* Use TradingView's Bar Replay feature
* Review past signals on your favorite stocks
* Adjust filter settings based on your results
* Document win rate and average R:R
5. Paper Trading First
* Test the indicator with paper trading for 1-2 weeks
* Track all signals and outcomes
* Refine settings before risking real capital
Troubleshooting
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Solutions:
* Check if all filters are enabled (they may be too restrictive)
* Verify stock has sufficient volume and volatility
* Try increasing VWAP proximity from 0.2% to 0.3%
* Disable time filter if trading mid-day
* Check if stock is actually near VWAP on chart
Problem: Too Many Signals
Solutions:
* Decrease VWAP proximity from 0.2% to 0.1%
* Increase volume multiplier from 1.5x to 2.0x
* Enable all filters (trend, volume, time)
* Use 5-minute chart instead of 1-minute
Problem: Filter Status Table Not Visible
Solutions:
* Scroll chart to right (table is in top right corner)
* Check if indicator is loaded (should appear in indicator list on left)
* Refresh chart and re-add indicator
* Close other overlapping indicators
Problem: Alert Not Firing
Solutions:
* Verify alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close" (not "Only Once")
* Check alert hasn't expired
* Ensure correct symbols are selected in alert
* Confirm indicator is applied to chart with alert

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this for short entries?
A: The current version is for long entries only. For shorts, you'd need to reverse the logic (price rejecting VWAP as resistance, downtrend, etc.).
Q: What stocks work best with this indicator?
A: Mid-cap momentum stocks ($1B-$10B market cap), price $10-$100, daily volume > 1M, with a clear catalyst (earnings, news, sector move).
Q: Can I trade this on daily or weekly charts?
A: No. VWAP is an intraday indicator that resets each trading day. Use only on intraday timeframes (1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m).
Q: Should I take every signal?
A: No. Use the indicator as a filter, not a mechanical system. Consider overall market conditions, stock-specific catalysts, and your own price action analysis.
Q: How accurate is this indicator?
A: Accuracy depends on market conditions, stock selection, and your execution. Expect 50-65% win rate with proper 2:1+ risk/reward, similar to Aziz's methodology.
