TA Basics: further "Steps" with our Moving AverageSo far in this series of posts, we have worked thru creating a basic zero-lag moving average, then moved forward all the way to coding a "Fibonacci" Weighted Moving Average.
in this post we take a look at a technique that can help traders minimize noise in the underlying data and get better insight on the changes that are happening in the data series represented by the moving average. we'll look at adding "stepping" to our Fibonacci Moving Average as an example. we introduce the Stepping Fibonacci Moving Average , or Step_FiMA
note that you can use the same technique with any plot you may have. feel free to copy or leverage the relevant parts of the script - the script is commented to make this easier.
How is this useful?
==================
with "stepping", you get your indicator to "round" the outcome into pre-specified bands or ranges. this works very similar to how, for example, range or Renko charts work. you can easily see the difference in the chart above once we look at a non-stepped and a stepping moving average of the same length side-by-side
the more granular your timeframe is, you will see the effect of the stepping clearer - here's how the same chart looks when we go into the 1-hr aggregation
Notes about this script
====================
there are couple of pieces i wanted to highlight in the script if you plan to use some of it :
1 - the step(x) function is meant to try to automatically pick the best "suitable" step size based on the range of the underlying series (for example, the closing price). these ranges i included here in the code are just my own "best choices" - you are totally welcome to adjust these ranges and the resulting step size to your own preference
2 - we applied the stepping as a user-choice. user can choose a manual entry, or "0" to get the code to automatically pick the step size, or enter -1 (or actually any value below zero) to cancel the stepping option altogether - this gives us some flexibility on how to use the stepping in an indicator
3 - very important (and somehow confusing): on the "rounding" approach:
the magic math formula that actually creates the stepping is this one
result = round(input / step) * step
now, this tells the script to "round" the result up or down (the basic rounding) -- so for example, a price of 17 with a step of 5 would be rounded (down) to 15, where as a price of 18 would be rounded "up" to 20 -- this is not the way some of us would expect or want, cause the price never reached 20 and they would want an 18 to still be rounded to 15 - and the stepping line not to show 20 *until* the price actually hits or exceeds 20 -- in that case, you would need to replace the function "round" with the function "floor" --
so the new formula becomes: floor(input / step) * step
-- in an ideal world, we can make this rounding choice a user-option in the settings -- maybe in an improved version
4 - we kept the smoothing option, and it takes place before the stepping is applied - we continue to use that smoothing to further minimize the level changes in the FiMA line.
I hope you find this script useful in your journey with technical analysis and DIY scripting, and good luck in your trading.

BTC and ETH Long strategy - version 1I will start with a small introduction about myself. I'm now trading cryto currencies manually for almost 2 years. I decided to start after watching a documentary on the TV showing people who made big money during the Bitcoin pump which happened at the end of 2017.
The next day, I asked myself "Why should I not give it a try and learn how to trade".
This was in February 2018 and the price of Bitcoin was around 11500USD.
I didn't know how to trade. In fact, I didn't know the trading industry at all.
So, my first step into trading was to open an account with a broken. Then I directly bought 200$ worst of BTC . At that time, I saw the graph and thought "This can only go back in the upward direction!" :)
I didn't know anything about Stop loss, Take profit and Risk management.
Today, almost 2 years after, I think that I know how to trade and can also confirm that I still hold this bag of 200$ of bitcoin from 2018 :)
I did spend the 2 last years to learn technical analysis , risk management and leverage trading.
Today (14/05/2020), I know what I'm doing and I'm happy to see that the 2 last years have been positive in terms of gains. Of course, I did not make crazy money with my saving but at least I made more than if I would have kept it in my bank account.
Even if I like trading, I have a full time job which requires my full energy and lots of focus, so, the biggest problem I had is that I didn't have enough time to look at the charts.
Also, I realized that sometimes, neither technical analysis , nor fundamentals worked with crypto currency (at least for short time trading). So, as I have a developer background I decided to try to have a look at algo trading.
The goal for me was neither to make complex algos nor to beat the market but just to automate my trading with simple bot catching the big waves.
I then started to take a look at TV pine script and played with it.
I did my first LONG script in February 2020 to Long the BTC Market. It has some limitations but works well enough for me for the time being. Even if the real trades will bring me half of what the back testing shows, this will still be a lot more than what I was used to win during the last 2 years with my manual trading.
So, here we are! Below you will find some details about my first LONG script. I'm happy to share it with you.
Feel free to play with it, give your comments and bring improvements to it.
But please note that it only works fine with the candle size and crypto pair that I have mentioned below. If you use other settings this algo might loose money!
- Crypto pairs : XBTUSD and ETHXBT
- Candle size: 2 Hours
- Indicator used: Volatility , MACD (12, 26, 7), SMA (100), SMA (200), EMA (20)
- Default StopLoss: -1.5%
- Entry in position if: Volatility < 2%
AND MACD moving up
AND AME (20) moving up
AND SMA (100) moving up
AND SMA (200) moving up
AND EMA (20) > SAM (100)
AND SMA (100) > SMA (200)
- Exit the postion if: Stoploss is reached
OR EMA (20) crossUnder SMA (100)
Here is a summary of the results for this script:
XBTUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +107%
ETHXBT : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +39%
ETHUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +112%
It is far away from being perfect. There are still plenty of things which can be done to improve it but I just wanted to share it :) .
Enjoy playing with it....

Inputs:
• # of Candles to analyze (default = 20)
Pivot trend indicatorThis is a LAGGING indicator which can provide a good indication of trend. It require a certain (configurable) number of candles to have closed before it can determine whether a pivot has formed.
It provides a 20 period SMA for the timeframe of your choice which is color coded to show the trend according to confirmed pivots.
Anticipated usage:
Long / Short bias is determined by pivot trend
Trader seeks entries according to their strategy
Black consolidation areas may trigger a re-evaluation of the trade and can serve as good profit taking areas
The SMA colors:
Green -> Higher highs & Higher lows
Red -> Lower highs & Lowers lows
Black -> No clear trend from the pivots
Why the 20 SMA?
Feel free to adjust it for your purposes. I personally find that using a higher time frame 20 SMA is a better indication of trend than longer period MAs on shorter time frames. This can be seen from comparing the 20 daily SMA and 200 hourly SMA.
Pivot adjustment
The pivots use the selected time frame (not) the MA trend time frame. You can specify the left and right candles required to confirm a pivot
VIX reversion-Buschi
English:
A significant intraday reversion (commonly used: 3 points) on a high (over 20 points) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) can be a sign of a market bottom, because there is the assumption that some of the "big guys" liquidated their options / insurances because the worst is over.
This indicator shows these reversions (3 points as default) when the VIX was over 20 points. The character "R" is then shown directly over the daily column, the VIX need not to be loaded explicitly.
Deutsch:
Eine deutliche Intraday-Umkehr (3 Punkte im Normalfall) bei einem hohen (über 20 Punkte) S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) kann ein Zeichen für eine Bodenbildung im Markt sein, weil möglicherweise einige "große Jungs" ihre Optionen / Versicherungen auflösen, weil das schlimmste vorbei ist.
Dieser Indikator zeigt diese Umkehr (Standardwert: 3 Punkte), wenn der VIX vorher über 20 Punkte lag. Der Buchstabe "R" wird dabei direkt über dem Tagesbalken angezeigt, wobei der VIX nicht explizit geladen werden muss.
Triple Moving Average HeatmapHi everyone
I didn't publish on Friday because I was working on an Expert Advisor in MT4. The day I don't publish, some scripts spamming guys published many (not useful) scripts the same to kick me out of the TOP #1 ranking.
So what I'm going to do about it? crying or sharing more quality scripts than before? :)
I guess you know the answer :) I'm gonna share a few quality scripts that I have in my library. I noticed that you guys tend to like more the scripts useful for your trading actually making you money rather than a copy-paste (of another copy-paste)
Alright, enough for the trolling now let's introduce the Three MA heatmap which is an upgrade of that script : MA-heatmap-Double-cross-edition/
The challenge was to keep the heatmap not rolling and to make it match with the MA cross. I did it using this
```
since_ma_buy = barssince(macrossover)
since_ma_sell = barssince(macrossunder)
heatmap_color() =>
since_ma_buy < since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.green, 20) : since_ma_buy > since_ma_sell ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
This is a technique that I found after drinking three glasses of red wine (#french) to keep the heatmap stable and not rolling.
To get what I'm saying I invite you to replace the piece of code above by what everyone would normally do
```
heatmap_color() =>
macrossunder() ? color.new(color.green, 20) : macrossover() ? color.new(color.red, 20) : na
```
Ah and I'm not done sharing for the day, a few scripts are coming also after that one and tonight !!!!! I want to live in a world where you guys can enjoy quality scripts (mostly) :)

The 6 Line Death PunchIf you are looking to discover what trend you are in, you need to first what direction the price is going in...
I've been using and testing a mixture of EMA's and SMA's for a long time and I've found that these ones are by far the best.
EMA 3
EMA 8
MA 20
EMA 55
MA 100
MA 200
EMA 3 & 8 Crossover is a good method for confirming a coin going to the upside or to the downside.
EMA 8 is known as the Trigger Line (trademarked brand) as one of the fib numbers it shows good support or resistance of a trend.
MA 20 universal way of seeing trend direction in the stock market, works well with crypto too.
EMA 55, another trusty fib number. Works very well and could trade off that alone as support and resistance.
MA 100 and MA 200. Long ranged moving averages which govern the overall longer-term trend.
LONG ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles above EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles above MA 20
Option 4 - Candles Above EMA 55.
SHORT ENTRY
Option 1 - 3/8 crossover
Option 2 - Candles below EMA 8
Option 3 - Candles below MA 20
Option 4 - Candles below EMA 55.
Signals for call and putSorry for the Google Translate English
Indicator for signals of call and put, using Bollinger bands (period 20, standard deviation 2.5), market trend of (sma, períod 100) and stochastic (period 20, %D 3).
I was overthrown but in pine scrip, the function "stoch()" no way to smooth (3). If anyone knows how to smooth inside the script, help me! Please.
With smoothed stochastic the hit rate grows a lot.

- Simple candle closed alert if you want a notification, for example each hour.
Defaults: Four SMAs (20, 50, 100, 200) and a 20 VWMA .
Recommended Usage:
- Set the general source (sets the source of all moving averages) to 'low' when in an uptrend and 'high' in a downtrend to maximize Risk : Reward.
- Use Fibonacci levels, oscillators .etc for confluence
NOTE: The moving average component of this indicator is the same as the previous indicator ()

- Add alerts option so that it send alert on crossing up or down any alert lines.
XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20
NetProfit: 996%, #Trades: 6, %Profitable: 83%, Buy&HoldProfit: 78%
BAR(Barco): EMA-Buy=16, SMA-Buy=80, Strength-Buy=44, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=82, Stop#ATR=9
NetProfit: 385%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 55%
AAPL(Apple): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=40, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=106, Stop#ATR=8
NetProfit: 6900%, #Trades: 7, %Profitable: 71%, Buy&HoldProfit: 2938%
TNET(Telenet): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=27, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=70, Stop#ATR=14

TraderDemircan (Triz Global) Automatic Extend FibonacciDescription
What This Indicator Does:
This indicator automatically identifies the most significant swing low and swing high points within a customizable lookback period and plots comprehensive Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between them. Unlike manual Fibonacci tools, this script continuously updates the levels based on the most recent price action, making it ideal for traders who want to identify key support/resistance zones without constantly redrawing Fibonacci levels.
Key Features:
Automatic Swing Point Detection: Scans the specified lookback period to find the lowest low (starting point) and the highest high (ending point) to establish the Fibonacci range
Comprehensive Level Coverage: Plots 18 Fibonacci levels ranging from 0.0 (minimum) to 3.618 (maximum extension), including standard retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) and popular extension levels (1.272, 1.414, 1.618, 2.0, 2.272, 2.382, 2.618, 3.0, 3.272, 3.618)
Visual Clarity: Each level is color-coded and can be individually toggled on/off for cleaner charts
Price and Percentage Labels: Shows both the actual price level and the Fibonacci percentage for easy reference
Flexible Display Options: Customize line width, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and extension direction
Dynamic Updates: Automatically recalculates levels as new price data becomes available
How It Works:
The indicator uses a left-to-right methodology, starting from the swing low (marked as 0.0 with a green diamond) and extending to the swing high (marked as 1.0 with a blue diamond). This approach follows natural price movement and makes the Fibonacci levels intuitive to read. The algorithm:
Identifies the lowest point within the lookback period (this becomes the 0.0 level)
Finds the highest point that occurred after the low point (this becomes the 1.0 level)
Calculates all retracement levels (0.0-1.0) and extension levels (above 1.0) based on this range
Plots horizontal lines with customizable styling and labels
How to Use:
For Retracement Trading: Watch for price reactions at key levels like 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618 (the Golden Ratio) during pullbacks in an uptrend
For Extension Targets: Use levels above 1.0 (especially 1.272, 1.414, and 1.618) to project potential profit targets
Adjust Sensitivity: Increase the "Pivot Sensibility" parameter for major swings only, or decrease it to capture more frequent price movements
Customize Lookback: Shorter periods (50-100 bars) work well for intraday trading, while longer periods (200-500 bars) suit swing trading and position trading
Settings:
Lookback Period: Controls how many candles back to search (10-500)
Pivot Sensibility: Determines the strength required to identify swing points (1-20)
Individual Level Toggles: Enable/disable any of the 18 Fibonacci levels
Visual Customization: Change colors, line thickness (1-5), and line style for each level
Label Options: Toggle price labels and percentage labels independently
Extension Controls: Choose to extend lines left, right, or both directions
What Makes This Original:
This indicator combines automatic swing detection with an extensive range of Fibonacci levels (18 total) that go well beyond the standard retracement tool. The left-to-right calculation methodology ensures logical level placement, while the comprehensive customization options allow traders to adapt the visual presentation to their specific trading style and chart setup.
Note: This indicator is designed for visual analysis and does not generate buy/sell signals. It's a tool to help identify potential support/resistance zones based on Fibonacci ratios. Always combine with other technical analysis methods and proper risk management.
LibVeloLibrary "LibVelo"
This library provides a sophisticated framework for **Velocity
Profile (Flow Rate)** analysis. It measures the physical
speed of trading at specific price levels by relating volume
to the time spent at those levels.
## Core Concept: Market Velocity
Unlike Volume Profiles, which only answer "how much" traded,
Velocity Profiles answer "how fast" it traded.
It is calculated as:
`Velocity = Volume / Duration`
This metric (contracts per second) reveals hidden market
dynamics invisible to pure Volume or TPO profiles:
1. **High Velocity (Fast Flow):**
* **Aggression:** Initiative buyers/sellers hitting market
orders rapidly.
* **Liquidity Vacuum:** Price slips through a level because
order book depth is thin (low resistance).
2. **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):**
* **Absorption:** High volume but very slow price movement.
Indicates massive passive limit orders ("Icebergs").
* **Apathy:** Little volume over a long time. Lack of
interest from major participants.
## Architecture: Triple-Engine Composition
To ensure maximum performance while offering full statistical
depth for all metrics, this library utilises **object
composition** with a lazy evaluation strategy:
#### Engine A: The Master (`vpVol`)
* **Role:** Standard Volume Profile.
* **Purpose:** Maintains the "ground truth" of volume distribution,
price buckets, and ranges.
#### Engine B: The Time Container (`vpTime`)
* **Role:** specialized container for time duration (in ms).
* **Hack:** It repurposes standard volume arrays (specifically
`aBuy`) to accumulate time duration for each bucket.
#### Engine C: The Calculator (`vpVelo`)
* **Role:** Temporary scratchpad for derived metrics.
* **Purpose:** When complex statistics (like Value Area or Skewness)
are requested for **Velocity**, this engine is assembled
on-demand to leverage the full statistical power of `LibVPrf`
without rewriting complex algorithms.

Lightning Session LevelsLightning Session Levels (LSL) draws clean, non-repainting levels for the major market sessions and a compact HUD in the top-right corner. It’s built to be lightweight, readable, and “set-and-forget” for intraday traders.
What it shows
Session High/Low and Open/Close levels for:
ASIA (00:00–08:00 UTC)
EUROPE (07:00–16:00 UTC)
US (13:30–20:00 UTC)
OVERNIGHT (20:00–24:00 UTC)
HUD panel:
Current active session
Countdown to the next US session (auto-calculated from UTC)
How it works (non-repainting)
Levels are anchored at session close. Each line is created once on the confirmed closing bar of the session (x2 = session end).
Optional Extend Right keeps the level projecting forward without changing the anchor (no “drifting”).
All drawings are pinned to the right price scale for stable reading.
Inputs
Show HUD — toggle the top-right panel.
Show Levels — master switch for drawing levels.
Draw High/Low — H/L session levels.
Draw Open/Close — O/C session levels.
Extend Right — extend all session lines to the future.
Keep N past sessions per market — FIFO limit per session group (default 12).
ASIA / EUROPE / US / OVERNIGHT — enable/disable specific sessions.
Style & palette
Consistent “Lightning” colors:
ASIA = Cyan, EUROPE = Violet, US = Amber, OVERNIGHT = Teal
Labels are always size: Normal for readability.
HUD uses a dark, subtle two-tone background to stay out of the way.
Recommended use
Timeframes: intraday (1m → 4h).
On 1D and higher, TradingView’s session-window time() filters won’t match intraday windows, so levels won’t plot (by design).
Markets: crypto, indices, FX, equities — any symbol where intraday session context helps.
Notes & limitations
Fixed UTC windows. The US window is set to 13:30–20:00 UTC. Daylight-saving shifts (DST) are not auto-adjusted; if you need region-specific DST behavior, treat this as a consistent UTC model.
The HUD timer counts down to the next US open from the current UTC clock.
Draw limits are capped (500 lines, 500 labels) for performance and stability.
Quick start
Add Lightning Session Levels to your chart.
Toggle Draw High/Low and/or Draw Open/Close.
Turn on Extend Right if you want the levels to project forward.
Enable only the sessions you care about (e.g., just EUROPE and US).
Use Keep N past sessions to control clutter (e.g., 6–12).

Stochastic + Bollinger Bands Multi-Timeframe StrategyThis strategy fuses the Stochastic Oscillator from the 4-hour timeframe with Bollinger Bands from the 1-hour timeframe, operating on a 10-hour chart to capture a unique volatility rhythm and temporal alignment discovered through observational alpha.
By blending momentum confirmation from the higher timeframe with short-term volatility extremes, the strategy leverages what some traders refer to as “rotating volatility” — a phenomenon where multi-timeframe oscillations sync to reveal hidden trade opportunities.
🧠 Strategy Logic
✅ Long Entry Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H timeframe:
%K crosses above %D
Both %K and %D are below 20 (oversold zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H timeframe:
Price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal
→ A long trade is opened when both momentum recovery and volatility reversion align.
✅ Long Exit Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H:
%K crosses below %D
Both %K and %D are above 80 (overbought zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H:
Price reaches or exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting exhaustion
→ The long trade is closed when either signal suggests a potential reversal or overextension.
🧬 Temporal Structure & Alpha
This strategy is deployed on a 10-hour chart — a non-standard timeframe that may align more effectively with multi-timeframe mean reversion dynamics.
This subtle adjustment exploits what some traders identify as “temporal drift” — the desynchronization of volatility across timeframes that creates hidden rhythm in price action.
→ For example, Stochastic on 4H (lookback 17) and Bollinger Bands on 1H (lookback 20) may periodically sync around 10H intervals, offering unique alpha windows.
📊 Indicator Components
🔹 Stochastic Oscillator (4H, Length 17)
Detects momentum reversals using %K and %D crossovers
Helps define overbought/oversold zones from a mid-term view
🔹 Bollinger Bands (1H, Length 20, ±2 StdDev)
Measures price volatility using standard deviation around a moving average
Entry occurs near lower band (support), exits near upper band (resistance)
🔹 Multi-Timeframe Logic
Uses request.security() to safely reference 4H and 1H indicators from a 10H chart
Avoids repainting by using closed higher-timeframe candles only
📈 Visualization
A plot selector input allows toggling between:
Stochastic Plot (%K & %D, with overbought/oversold levels)
Bollinger Bands Plot (Upper, Basis, Lower from 1H data)
This helps users visually confirm entry/exit triggers in real time.
🛠 Customization
Fully configurable Stochastic and BB settings
Timeframes are independently adjustable
Strategy settings like position sizing, slippage, and commission are editable

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

W%R Pullback+EMA Trend [TS_Indie]🔰 Core Concept of the Strategy
The main idea is “Trend-Following with Momentum Pullback.”
This means trading in the direction of the main trend (defined by EMA) while using Williams %R to identify pullback entries (buying the dip or selling the rally) where momentum returns to the trend direction.
📊 Indicators Used
1. EMA Fast – Defines the short-term trend.
2. EMA Slow – Defines the long-term trend (used as a trend filter).
3. Williams %R
• Overbought zone: above -20
• Oversold zone: below -80
⚙️ Entry Rules
🔹 Buy Setup
1. EMA Fast > EMA Slow → Uptrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle dropped below -80, and on the current candle, it crosses back above -80 → indicates momentum returning to the upside.
3. Current close is above EMA Fast.
4. Entry Buy at the close of the candle where %R crosses above -80.
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
1. Entry : At the candle close where the signal occurs.
2. Stop Loss : At the lowest low between the current and previous candles.
3. Take Profit : Calculated based on entry price and stop loss distance multiplied by the Risk/Reward Ratio.
🔹 Sell Setup
1. EMA Fast < EMA Slow → Downtrend condition.
2. Williams %R on the previous candle went above -20, and on the current candle, it crosses back below -20 → indicates renewed selling momentum.
3. Current price is below EMA Fast.
4. Entry Sell at the close of the candle where %R crosses below -20.
🎯 Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit
1. Entry : At the candle close where the signal occurs.
2. Stop Loss : At the highest high between the current and previous candles.
3. Take Profit : Calculated based on entry price and stop loss distance multiplied by the Risk/Reward Ratio.
⚙️ Optional Parameters
• Custom Risk/Reward Ratio for Take Profit.
• Option to add ATR buffer to Stop Loss.
• Adjustable EMA Fast period.
• Adjustable EMA Slow period.
• Adjustable Williams %R period.
• Option to enable Long only / Short only positions.
• Customizable Backtest start and end date.
• Customizable trading session time.

Guys, try adjusting the parameters yourselves!
I’ve been tweaking the settings for several days and managed to get great results on XAU/USD in the 5-minute timeframe.
I think this strategy is quite interesting and could potentially deliver good results on other instruments as well.
