EMA_cumulativeVolume_crossover[Strategy]This strategy is back test for EMA_cumulativeVolume_crossover
BUY
When ema50 crossover cumulative volume of 100 period
Exit
When ema50 cross down cumulative volume of 100 period
Partial Exit
for the partial profit I have used stopLoss value , but up side. When price is above partial profit and crossing down EMA 50 , exit 1/3 position
Please note when you select this setting, you see spike number of trades, that is because you closing partial number of trades. which increases the winning rate but reduces the total net profit.
Stop Loss
Defaulted to 8%
Added parameter to take LONG or SHORT trades ... on SHORT side not very good results ... you can review it and provide feedback how to improve the performance.
Short Selling
Reverse above BUY conditions
I have tested LONG trades on SPY , QQQ and AAPL on 1 Hour and 30 mins timeframes. for AAPL on DAY timeframe it shows crazy results :-)
Note

RS4r OscillatorOscillator based on Garofallou's RS4r indicator. It has been modified to compare the Relative Strength of any asset against QQQ . SPY , IWM , VGK , EWJ , DBC , GLD , HYG , LQD , TLT ETFs.
Readings above 80 points suggest great relative strength against these ETFs.
EMA_HMA_RSI_StrategyThis strategy BUYS when HMA is below EMA (default setting is 200) and HMA turning to green and RSI 13 is below 70
Adds to existing position when current price is below BUY price and RSI crossing above 30 or 40
Exits the long position when HMA crosses down EMA
when you select Take Profit setting , partial profits are taken when current price > BUY price and RSI 13 crossing down 80
Bar color changes to purple when RSI13 is above 80 (if only in Long position exists)
Tested for SPY QQQ AAPL on hourly and 30 mins chart
Warning : For educational purposes only
Aroon Oscillator StrategyThis is simple strategy based on Aroon Oscillator. I have found that using length 144 or 169 on hourly chart shows excellent results.
Tested on SPY , QQQ and AAPL. Especially when you look at AAPL results , it has 60% profitable in recent trades. ( Dont assume this will be same for other stocks or ETFs)
Aroon Oscillator setting : 169 ( 169 is square root of 13 ... you can also use fib level 144 , which is square root of 12 )
BUY
When Aroon Oscillator crosses above zero line
Add
if Long position is already opened, and current close is less than BUY price and RSI 13 crossing above 30 line
Exit
when Aroon Oscialltor crosses below zero line
Stop Loss
default stop loss has been set to 5%
Note: I have not plotted RSI to the chart. Please include RSI 13 to see how position gets added ... Also add ema 169 to see how the price is aligned with the Aroon Oscillator

CC - Array-meta Consolidated Interval Display (ACID)This script extends my other two Array examples (which I've also provided to you open source):
The Ticker-centric 5m,15m,45m,1h,4h,1d resolution labels using arrays:
And the more Macro VIX,GLD,TLT,QQQ,SPY,IWM 1d resolution labels using arrays:
This script aims to show how to use min/max/avg with Arrays easily. My next example after this will be exploring the usage of variance versus covariance ratios over different periodic interval resolutions. Currently, this is using the following intervals: 5m,15m,45m,1h,4h,1d. It takes these intervals, calculates the values at those resolutions and puts the absolute min and max from the 5 minute to the 1 day resolutions.
It's more of an example of the power that arrays can hold, as all this truly is right now is a min/max bound calculator. The real gem lies in the avg calculators for multiple resoltuions tied into a single label with readable data. Check out the code and let me know what you think. If you need more examples, the other two scripts I mentioned before are also open source.
Using this on intervals of less than 1D sometimes times out, the way I wrote it is memory intensive, may not work for non-pro users.
Thanks!
NONE OF THIS IS FOREWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS, THIS IS NOT A PREDECTIVE ANALYSIS TOOL. THIS IS A RESEARCH ATTEMPT AT A NOVEL INDICATOR. I am not responsible for outcomes using it.
Please use and give criticisms freely. I am experimenting with combining resolutions and comparing covariance values at different levels right now, so let me know your thoughts! The last indicator will likely not be open source, but may be depending on how complex I get.
CC - Macro Consolidated Interval Display (MCID)Ever wish you didn't have to rapidly flip between 6 different tickers to get the full picture?
Yeah, me too. Do you also wish that you kind of understood how the shift / unshift function works for arrays?
Yeah, I did too. Both of those birds are taken care of with one stone!
The Macro Consolidated Interval Display uses the new Array structure and security to display data for VIX, GLD, TLT, QQQ, SPY and IWM (at a 1D interval) SIMUTANEOUSLY! Regardless of which ticker you're looking at you can get the full picture of macro futures data without flipping around to get it.
This is my first script trying to use arrays. It basically shows the following a 1d interval:
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for VIX.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for GLD.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for TLT.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for QQQ.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for SPY.
ATR14, RSI7, RSI14, SMA50, SMA200 and VWAP for IWM
To make it more or less busy, I've allowed you to toggle off any of the levels you wish. I've also chosen to leave this as open source, as it's nothing too experimental, and I hope that it can gain some traction as an Array example that the public can use! If you don't like the different values that are shown, use this source code example as a spring-board to put values that you do care about onto the labels.
If this code has helped you at all please drop me a like or some constructive criticism if you do not think it's worth a like.
Good luck and happy trading friends. This should be compatible with my CID as well:
If this gets traction, I will post something similar for a dynamic combination of tickers and intervals that you can set yourself.

ETF / Stocks / Crypto - DCA Strategy v1Simple "benchmark" strategy for ETFs, Stocks and Crypto! Super-easy to implement for beginners, a DCA (dollar-cost-averaging) strategy means that you buy a fixed amount of an ETF / Stock / Crypto every several months. For instance, to DCA the S&P 500 (SPY), you could purchase $10,000 USD every 12 months, irrespective of the market price. Assuming the macro-economic conditions of the underlying country remain favourable, DCA strategies will result in capital gains over a period of many years, e.g. 10 years. DCA is the safest strategy that beginners can employ to make money in the markets, and all other types of strategies should be "benchmarked" against DCA; if your strategy cannot outperform DCA, then your strategy is useless.
Recommended Chart Settings:
Asset Class: ETF / Stocks / Crypto
Time Frame: H1 (Hourly) / D1 (Daily) / W1 (Weekly) / M1 (Monthly)
Necessary ETF Macro Conditions:
1. Country must have healthy demographics, good ratio of young > old
2. Country population must be increasing
3. Country must be experiencing price-inflation
Necessary Stock Conditions:
1. Growing revenue
2. Growing net income
3. Consistent net margins
4. Higher gross/net profit margin compared to its peers in the industry
5. Growing share holders equity
6. Current ratios > 1
7. Debt to equity ratio (compare to peers)
8. Debt servicing ratio < 30%
9. Wide economic moat
10. Products and services used daily, and will stay relevant for at least 1 decade
Necessary Crypto Conditions:
1. Honest founders
2. Competent technical co-founders
3. Fair or non-existent pre-mine
4. Solid marketing and PR
5. Legitimate use-cases / adoption
Default Robot Settings:
Contribution (USD): $10,000
Frequency (Months): 12
*Robot buys $10,000 worth of ETF, Stock, Crypto, regardless of the market price, every 12 months since its founding time.*
*Equity curve can be seen from the bottom panel*
Risk Warning:
This strategy is low-risk, however it assumes you have a long time horizon of at least 5 to 10 years. The longer your holding-period, the better your returns. The only thing the user has to keep-in-mind are the macro-economic conditions as stated above. If unsure, please stick to ETFs rather than buying individual stocks or cryptocurrencies.

21/55 EMA Cloud w/ Optional RibbonThis indicator behaves like a traditional EMA ribbon by using the 21, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 bar exponential moving averages. In this particular indicator, the traditional EMA ribbon lines are turned off by default leaving only a filled in area between the 21 and 55 bar averages. The filled in area is green when the 21 bar average is greater than the 55 and red otherwise. Additionally, the 9, 100, and 200 exponential moving averages are available for reference.
13612WThis script is a 13612W momentum filter used in the Vigilant Asset Allocation (VAA) and Defensive Asset Allocation (DAA) created by Wouter J. Keller and Jan Willem Keuning.
This asset allocation strategy was uploaded to SSRN in 2017 and 2018.
13612W Calculation Method
(Profitability in Last 1 months * 12 +
Profitability in Last 3 months * 4 +
Profitability in Last 6 months * 2 +
Profitability in Last 12 months)/4
Let me briefly explain one of the VAAs, VAA-G4.
The VAA-G4 has an annualized return of 17.7%, a Sharpe ratio of 1.07% and Max Drawdown of 16.1%.
(It's too long and complicated to describe all VAA, DAA strategies. Above all, the translator performance is not good.)
VAA Global 4 Universe: SPY, EFA, EEM, AGG
Cash Universe: SHY , IEF, LQD
If 13612W of VAA Global 4 Universe is negative at least one
>> 100% of assets hold one of the highest 13612W of Cash Universe
If all 13612W of VAA Global 4 Universe are positive
>> 100% of assets hold one of the highest 13612W of VAA Global 4 Universe
Rebalancing is done every month according to this method.
RAT Momentum Squeeze BETAV1.0
MAs are a great tool to measure the market's momentum. I created this indicator to graphically depict bullish and banishment movements with the moving averages.
Using the 50, 100, & 200 day MA in conjunction with the RSI we are able to find great swing setups. This is used best on the 30min & up to the daily chart.
ADD for SPX intraday (NYSE Adv-Decl) -Tom1traderThis is the NYSE Advancers - decliners which the SPX pretty much follows. You can chart it like any index (ADD -NYSE $ADV MINUS $DECL) but I find it more useful in a separate panel with colors for direction.
The level gives an idea of days move (example: plus or minus 500 is not much movement through the session) but I follow the direction as when more stocks advance (green) or decline (red) the index tends to track it pretty closely.
On SPX, SPY and correlateds - very useful for intra-day trading (Scalping or 0DTE option trades) but not for higher time frames at all. If you chart the ADD in a chart and compare 5 minute to daily you will see what I mean.
I left it at 5 minutes timeframe which displays well on any intraday chart. You can change it by changing the "5" in the security function on line 13 to what you want ("1" 1 minute, "15" 15 minutes) or change it to timeframe.period (no quotes) so that it will follow the timeframe of the current chart. I like 5 min as it displays better on higher timeframes i.e. 15 min. or hour.
A simple moving average with a length of 10 is added to help gauge momemtum.
Hope this helps with trading or scripting ideas, questions or feed back welcome. Keep Smiling.
Gap driven intraday trade (better in 15 Min chart)// Based on yesterday's High, Low, today's open, and Bollinger Band (20) in current minute chart,
// Defined intraday Trading opportunity: Stop, Entry, T0, Target (S.E.T.T)
// Back test in 60, 30, 15, 5 Min charts with SPY, QQQ, XOP, AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, UAL
// In 60 and 30 min chart, the stop and target are too big. 5 min is too small.
// 15 min Chart is the best time frame for this strategy;
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// There will be Four lines in this study:
// 1. Entry Line,
// 1.1 Green Color line to Buy, If today's open price above Yesterday's High, and current price below BB upper line.
// 1.2 Red Color line to Short, if today's open price below Yesterday's Low, and current above BB Lower line.
//
// 2. Black line to show initial stop, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 3. Blue Line (T0) to show where trader can move stop to make even, one ATR in current min chart;
//
// 4. Orange Line to show initial target, Three ATR in current min chart;
//
// Trading opportunity:
// If Entry line is green color, Set stop buy order at today's Open;
// Whenever price is below the green line, Prepare to buy;
//
// If Entry line is Red color, Set Stop short at today's Open;
// Whenever price is above the red line, Prepare to short;
//
// Initial Stop: One ATR in min chart;
// Initial T0: One ATR in min chart;
// Initial Target: Three ATR in min chart;
// Initial RRR: Reward Risk Ratio = 3:1;
//
// Maintain: Once the position moves to T0, Move stop to "Make even + Lunch (such as, Entry + $0.10)";
// Allow to move target bigger, such as, next demand/supply zone;
// When near target or demand/supply zone or near Market close, move stop tightly;
//
// Close position: Limit order filled, or near Market Close, or trendline break;
//
// Key Step: Move stop to "Make even" after T0, Do not turn winner to loser;
// Willing to "in and out" many times in one day, and trade the same direction, same price again and again.
//
// Basic trading platform requests:
// To use this strategy, user needs to:
// 1. Scan Stocks Before market open:
// Prepare a watch list for top 10 ETF and Top 90 stocks which are most actively traded.
// Stock might be limited by price range, Beta, optionable, ...
// Before market open, Run a scan for these stocks, find which has GAP and inside BB;
// create watch list for that day.
//
// 2. Attach OSO and OCO orders:
// User needs to Send Entry, Stop (loss), and limit (target) orders at one time;
// Order Send order ( OSO ): Entry order sends Stop order and limit order;
// Order Cancel order ( OCO ): Stop order and limit order, when one is filled, it will cancel the other instantly;
Trend Trade ( in W, D, H, 15M )Condition:
Uptrend, EMA5 > EMA8 > EMA13

Back test Weekly, daily, hourly, 15M chart for ES1!, CL1!, GC1!, SPY, QQQ, TLT, IWM, XLF, XLK, XOP, GS, IBM, APPL, AMD, MMM, WBA
When side way move, Entry could be stopped quickly with small loss;
When entry in trending move, the position could be hold for a good range, and keep adding to winner.
Using this study, Futures and ETFs are better than single stock. Big Gap can break the trend, and trigger big stop loss;
This study is designed to join an existing trend. Try not use this in the time frame below 15 min.
To catch the turning point of a swing, Price action (Demand/Supply Confirmation) and trendlineBreak could be more accurate than EMA/SMA lines.
Buy in long term uptrend (Weekly and Daily)Condition: in uptrend, EMA8 > EMA144 (User can change the EMA# from input);
Price Action: (Price crossover EMA144) or (price touched EMA144 and close above it);
Trading Plan: Buy at close or next open; Initial Stop below EMA144;
No Exit strategy in this study, trader needs to move stop by other rules; such as, uptrend line break;
Back test Weekly and daily chart for SPY, QQQ, TLT, GLD, IWM, XLF, XLK, XOP, GS, IBM, APPL, CAT, LVS
1. When side way move or price From uptrend to Down trend, Entry could be stopped quickly with small loss;
2. When buy in trending move, the position could be hold for few years.
The best sample is QQQ weekly chart.
This is my first tradingview script. I created this script file and tested in one week.
Maybe, this script is too simple, other people published similar code already; Sorry, I didn't Check that yet.
RSI V Pattern strategyThis strategy based on RSI for swing trading or short term trading
Strategy Rules
=============
LONG
1. ema20 is above ema50 --- candles are colored green on the chart
2. RSI value sharply coming up
previous candle1 low is previous candle2 low and previous candle1 RSI value is less than previous candle2
current candle RSI value is greater than previous candle1 and crossing above 30
above which makes a V shape on RSI indicator, colored in yellow on the chart , price bar is colored in yellow
3. Enter Long when the above V pattern occurs
EXIT LONG
1. when the RSI reaches 70 , close half position and move stop loss to up
2. when RSI reaches high value 90, close 3/4 position
3. when RSI crossing below 10 OR stopLoss hit , whichever happens first , close whole position
Note : take profit levels are colored in blue on RSI and Price candles
I have tested SPY , QQQ on daily chart , performance results are with 80% win rate and more than 3 profit factor

S&P 500 Sector Strength IndexHi traders , this is lonelygrass again 😄, and I am going to show what you don't often see out there and share it with you.
This indicator is called "s&p 500 sector strength index"😎 , which allows you to distinguish strengths and weaknesses between different sectors in s&p500, and to create meaningful trading frameworks around it.
Similar to the RSI indicator , it also has overbought and oversold levels , you can clearly figure out the degree of crowd behaviors in various sectors' stocks .
For me 🤣, I will use it to "BUY LOW⬇️ , SELL HIGH⬆️". When a sector is oversold at the moment, I will try to buy those stocks when I find price actions and chart patterns in comply with the analysis by this indicator , the opposite for shortselling.
Also, for sake of being more user-friendly 👍, I added a function which enables you to only select the sector(s) you want to look at in order to make it less messy.
If you can't help to know what I will share with you coming up, then FOLLOW my account 😙 . Also , your likes and shares are really important 🎊. I will get more motivated to bring you new thing every day!!! ✍
CBG Key Numbers v6Here is my opening range, key numbers indicator. It takes the Opening Range (5 minutes by default) and then plots the opening range and up to 7 extensions of that range above and below.
It's amazing how the OR is stamped up on the rest of the day's price movements.
2 strategies (at least) are to play the OR range breakout and to fade when price hits an extreme range.
You have total control over how you set up the various lines and colors.
If you start overlaying the trading day with the OR and it's extensions, you will see amazing patterns become clear. For example, the pump and reverse. This is where price pumps right out of the opening and then reverses later in the morning.
I have the opening price set to big circles as this is one of the most important reference points during the day.
Important: For some reason, the 9:30 am time Opening acts differently for equities and futures . For equities, you can set the time values to 0930. But for futures , to capture the Open at 9:30, you have to set the time values to start at 0830. I haven't been able to find a better solution but setting the times manually works. Make sure to set all the time values on the Options screen.
There is one more setting of interest. It is called IB Target Amount. This is a number above and below the opening range that I have observed price to hit whenever there's a breakout. This will allow you to predict a price target on breakouts. For SPY , I have found that price usually breaks out to at least 50 cents. On ES futures , it's 6 dollars. This can help you lock in 10% and 20% when trading options and is a great tool. That's why I have it so prominent in red. You will also see price return to this level during the day and act as support or resistance.
Please disregard the red and green shaded rectangles. They are my own support and resistance zones and TV wouldn't let me hide them from the picture. :-)
I mostly use this on a 5 minute chart but any timeframe will work.
Voss Strategy (Filter + Trend Indicator) [Bitduke]Created strategy based on Voss Predictive Filter, implemented by TradingView user e2e4mfck.
Voss Predictive Filter
This is a relatively new filter from John F. Ehlers’ article, “A Peek Into The Future .” Ehlers describes the calculation of a new filter that could help signal cyclical turning points in markets.
But filter has a negative group delay and while an indicator based on it cannot actually see into the future, it may provide the trader with signals in advance of other indicators.
In mentioned article he tested filter on SPY and at one point in time "it went into a trend mode in January 2019, and the cycle signal failed miserably, signaling a short position during the runup. <...> The only way to minimize the impact of this condition is to employ an additional trend detector."
Thus I've added another Ehlers' based trend based indicator Instantaneous Trendline (thanks to LazyBear for implementation) to minimize the impact of the trend mode and got a good results on XBTUSD pair 4h.
Backtest :
> Range: 2016 - 2020
> XBTUSD
> 4h
> ~20% drawdown
> Sharpe (0.361, not too impressive)
I think it can be improved with Risk Management system and experimenting with various trend following indicators.
Trading Range Indicator - TRISimple script made to identify trading ranges in any timeframe
The oscillator bounces between 1 and 0. 1 means that the current asset is in a trading range and 0 meaning it is not.
The determination of a trading range is determined by the following:
ATR(14)40 and RSI<60
ADX<25
Due to all 3 having to be fulfilled in order for the oscillator to show there is a trading range, this causes a problem where 2 of the conditions are fulfilled and therefore still shows 0 on the oscillator, however, the asset could very well be in a trading range.
So what in the world do you use this for if there is such a significant margin of error?
Since all 3 conditions need to be fulfilled in order for it to be considered a trading range, this gives a very strong indicator of said trading ranges. So if a person is looking at individual stock tickers or the SPY index ticker, then when the oscillator reads a 1, it could be ideal to open an Iron Condor on said ticker. This means that this indicator is not well suiting for traditional long and short stock positions, but rather it is made for options traders who by using an Iron Condor can make money of a range-bound market.
