72s Strat: Backtesting Adaptive HMA+ pt.1This is a follow up to my previous publication of Adaptive HMA+ few months ago, as a mean to provide some kind of initial backtesting tools. Which can be use to explore many possible strategies, optimise its settings to better conform user's pair/tf, and hopefully able to help tweaking your general strategy.
If you haven't read the study or use the indicator, kindly go here first to get the overall idea.
The first strategy introduce in this backtest is one most basic already described in the study; buy/sell is when movement is there and everything is on the right side; When RSI has turned to other side, we can use it as exit point (if in profit of course, else just let it hit our TP/SL, why would we exit before profit). Also, base on RSI when we make entry, we can further differentiate type of signals. --Please check all comments in code directly where the signals , entries , and exits section are.
Second additional strategy to check; is when we also use second faster Adaptive HMA+ for exit. So this is like a double orders on a signal but with different exit-rule (/more on this on snapshots below). Alternatively, you can also work the code so to only use this type of exit.
There's also an additional feature which you can enable its visuals, the Distance Zone , is to help measuring price distance to our xHMA+. It's just a simple atr based envelope really, I already put the sample code in study's comment section, but better gonna update it there directly for non-coder too, after this.
In this sample I use Lot for order quantity size just because that's what I use on my broker. Also what few friends use while we forward-testing it since the study is published, so we also checked/compared each profit/loss report by real number. To use default or other unit of measurement, change the entry code accordingly.
If you change your order size, you should also change the commission in Properties Tab. My broker commission is 5 USD per order/lot, so in there with example order size 0.1 lot I put commission 0.5$ per order (I'll put 2.5$ for 0.5 lot, 10$ for 2 lot, and so on). Crypto usually has higher charge. --It is important that you should fill it base on your broker.
SETTINGS
I'm trying to keep it short. Please explore it further again. (Beginner should also first get acquaintance with terms use here.)
ORDERS:
Base Minimum Profit Before Exit:
The number is multiplier of ongoing ATR. Means that when basic exit condition is met, algo will check whether you're already in minimum profit or not, if not, let it still run to TP or SL, or until it meets subsequent exit condition, then it will check again.
Default Target Profit:
Multiplier of ATR at signal. If reached before any eligible exit condition is met, exit TP.
Base StopLoss Point:
You can change directly in code to use other like ATR Trailing SL, fix percent SL, or whatever. In the sample, 4 options provided.
Maximum StopLoss:
This is like a safety-net, that if at some point your chosen SL point from input above happens to be exceeding this maximum input that you can tolerate, then this max point is the one will be use as SL.
Activate 2nd order...:
The additional doubling of certain buy/sell with different exits as described above. If enable, you should also set pyramiding to at least: 2. If not, it does nothing.
ADAPTIVE HMA+ PERIOD
Many users already have their own settings for these. So in here I only sample the default as first presented in the study. Make it to your adaptive.
MARKET MOVEMENT
(1) Now you can check in realtime how much slope degree is best to define your specific pair/tf is out of congestion (yellow) area. And (2) also able to check directly what ATR lengths are more suitable defining your pair's volatility.
DISTANCE ZONE
Distance Multiplier. Each pair/tf has its own best distance zone (in xHMA+ perspective). The zone also determine whether a signal should appear or not. (Or what type of signal, if you wanna go more detail in constructing your strategy)
USAGE
(Provided you already have your own comfortable settings for minimum-maximum period of Adaptive HMA+. Best if you already have backtested it manually too and/or apply as an add-on to your working strategy)
1. In our experiences, first most important to define is both elements in the Market Movement Settings . These also tend to be persistent for whole season since it's kinda describing that pair/tf overall behaviour. Don't worry if you still get a low Profit Factor here, but by tweaking you should start to see positive changes in one of Max Drawdown and Net Profit, or Percent Profitable.
2. Afterwards, find your pair/tf Distance Zone . When optimising this, what we seek is just a "not to bad" equity curves to start forming. At least Max Drawdown should lessen more. Doesn't have to be great already, but should be better, no red in Net Profit.
3. Then go manage the "Trailing Minimum Profit", TP, SL, and max SL.
4. Repeat 1,2,3. 👻
5. Manage order size, commission, and/or enable double-order (need pyramiding) if you like. Check if your equity can handle max drawdown before margin call.
6. After getting an acceptable backtest result, go to List of Trades tab and find the biggest loss or when many sequencing loss in a row happened. Click on it to go to exact point on chart, observe why the signal failed and get at least general idea how it can be prevented . The rest is yours, you should know your pair/tf more than other.
You can also re-explore your minimum-maximum period for both Major and minor xHMA+.
Keep in mind that all numbers in Setting are conceptually in a form of range . You don't want to get superb equity curves but actually a "fragile" , means one can easily turn it to disaster just by changing only a fraction in one/two of the setting.
---
If you just wanna test the strength of the indicator alone, you can disable "Use StopLoss" temporarily while optimising settings.
Using no SL might be tempting in overall result data in some cases, but NOTE: It is not recommended to not using SL, don't forget that we deliberately enter when it's in high volatility. If want to add flexibility or trading for long-term, just maximise your SL. ie.: chose SL Point>ATR only and set it maximum. (Check your max drawdown after this).
I think this is quite important specially for beginners, so here's an example; Hypothetically in below scenario, because of some settings, the buy order after the loss sell signal didn't appear. Let's say if our initial capital only 1000$ using leverage and order size 0,5 lot (risky position sizing already), moreover if this happens at the beginning of your trading season, that's half of account gone already in one trade . Your max SL should've made you exit after that pumping bar.
The Trailing Minimum Profit is actually look like this. Search in the code if you want to plot it. I just don't like too many lines on chart.
To maximise profit we can try enabling double-order. The only added rule coded is: RSI should rising when buy and falling when sell. 2nd signal will appears above or below default buy/sell signal. (Of course it's also prone to double-loss, re-check your max drawdown after. Profit factor play its part in here for a long run). Snapshot in comparison:
Two default sell signals on left closed at RSI exit, the additional sell signal closed later on when price crossover minor xHMA+. On buy side, price haven't met our minimum profit when first crossunder minor xHMA+. If later on we hit SL on this "+buy" signal, at least we already profited from default buy signal. You can also consider/treat this as multiple TP points.
For longer-term trading, what you need to maximise is the Minimum Profit , so it won't exit whenever an exit condition happened, it can happen several times before reaching minimum profit. Hopefully this snapshot can explain:
Notice in comparison default sell and buy signal now close in average after 3 days. What's best is when we also have confirmation from higher TF. It's like targeting higher TF by entering from smaller TF.
As also mention in the study, we can still experiment via original HMA by putting same value for minimum-maximum period setting. This is experimental EU 1H with Major xHMA+: 144-144, Flat market 13, Distance multiplier 3.6, with 2nd order activated.
Kiwi was a bit surprising for me. It's flat market is effectively below 6, with quite far distance zone of 3.5. Probably because I'm using big numbers in adaptive period.
---
The result you see in strategy tester report below for EURUSD 15m is using just default settings you see in code, as follow:
0,1 lot for each order (which is the smallest allowed by my broker).
No pyramiding. Commission: 0.5 usd per order. Slippage: 3
Opening position is only using basic strategy #1 (RSI exit). Additional exit not activated.
Minimum Profit: 1. TP: 3.
SL use: Half-distance zone. Max SL: 4.5.
Major xHMA+: 172-233. minor xHMA+: 89-121
Distance Zone Multiplier: 2.7
RSI: Standard 14.
(From our forward-testing, the difference we get from net profit is because of the spread, our entry isn't exactly at the close/open price. Not so much though, but not the same. If somebody can direct me to any example where we can code our entry via current bid/ask price, that would be awesome!)
It's already a long post (sorry), think I'm gonna pause here. Check out the code :)

Signal
Follow Line Trend SignalThis Script is a Trend Following system built over the concepts of normalising ATR over Bollinger Bands and Pivot points high low,
This Script Can be used over AnyTimeframe
and Can be treated as a stable alternative to Supertrend
Script has provisions for BUY and SELL Alerts
Enjoy!
Electrified Aggressive Momentum SignalWhat this can be used for:
If you've already decided you want to trade a symbol, this can identify points of momentum alignment.
If a strong move has recently happened and you're looking for a change in momentum.
How it works:
This is a weighted combination of a Stochastic RSI and two modified SuperTrend (ATR Trailing Stop) indicators:
The Stochastic RSI signal is based upon aligned momentum and is negated at the overbought and oversold points.
The SuperTrend formula uses high and low values for calculation and both fast and slow can be adjusted for sensitivity.
Philosophy:
Signals have to be useful to humans. If a signal occurs to late, you've missed it. The intent of this indicator is to assist in timing a trade at very short time-frames. It assumes your conviction about a trade already exists, but you are trying to get an optimal entry.
Opposing momentum (weak signal) within an uptrend can be a sign that you should wait before entering. The frequency of a signal can indicate the strength of the trend. As the frequency of the aligned signal value decreases so does the reward vs risk.
Electrified Momentum Signal (Prototype)This indicator uses an ensemble of different indicators to help in identifying significant changes in momentum.
It's time-frame is constant and is based up on the length of the configurable period. This allows for a consistent signal across multiple time-frames.
This is not a buy or sell signal but can be used for alerts to indicate a change in momentum that might be worth paying attention to.
If looking for an long entry point, a negative (red) value can signal "don't buy yet" or may simple mean "it's risky". In a similar way if looking for a short, a positive (green) value can signal "not now".
Note: "Electrified" does not mean this has anything to do with electric vehicles or the power grid. :P
Stochastic RSI+Applies signal values to significant changes in momentum and can be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis to improve trade timing.
Both "Signal Up" and "Signal Down" can be used for alerts.
The magnitude of the signal is the difference between K and D.
(See the code for the logic and implementation.)
Signal Up occurs when momentum is within the band and moving upward.
Signal Down occurs when momentum is within the band and moving downward.
Interpretation Note:
The Stochastic RSI is known for false signals, so it should never be used as a pure buy or sell signal. It is useful as a warning or to help with trade timing.
A good example of this is: If you are bullish on a stock, and the signal is negative (signal down), then it may be wise to not buy until the recent change in momentum has dissipated.
Local Limit AlignmentCombines the trends of multiple local limits to provide a signal that represents how strongly they are aligned.
Each local limit has a value of either +1 or -1. The sum of all depths provides a signal.
The defaults are a minimum depth of 2 and a maximum of 4 resulting in upper and lower values between -3 and +3, and a total between -6 and +6.
Pip collector ModThis modification of LazyBear's popular script called Pip collector features custom signal generation and information section displaying elapsed bar time useful for timing trades.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo SignalsIchimoku Kinko Hyo Signals
This script show signals based on my understanding in Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.
/!\ Please do not follow signals blindly and always make your own analysis /!\
Buy : Han Ne lines are up, price is up, and also stochastic (K=30, D=10) is up
Strong Buy : Is a Sanyaku Kouten and can show a potential reverse in current tendance and Buy Signal conditions
Sell : Han Ne lines are down, price is down, and also stochastic (K=30, D=10) is down
Strong Sell : Is a Sanyaku Gyakuten and can show a potential reverse in current tendance and Sell Signal conditions
Exit : Show a potential time to take profit based on previous Sell, Strong Sell, Buy, or Strong Buy signal
Trend Trader Buy/Sell SignalsTrend Trader
The code is open source, what it uses to print signals is MACD cross and ADX. Bar colors change in relation to where price is according to the 50 day MA. The MA ribbon is used for visualizing trend and using it for dynamic support/resistance. The ribbon is comprised of the 50 day and 100 day MAs.
Main reason to publish this script is because some like to jumble up scripts together slap some moving averages on it to "follow trend" and then label it an algorithm, market it and sell it to people online. No single system will work 100% of the time, do you due diligence in anything you are interested in buying. Plenty of free scripts in the TV library that can do you justice when trading.
Bjorgum Triple EMA Strat-This script uses a triple EMA strategy to establish trend direction and reversal points
-Inputs are smoothed with Heiken Ashi values to reduce whipsaws, while providing timely execution
-Buy and sell indications are dictated by bar color
-Bar color is dictated by the candle close value in relation to the EMAs, specifically the faster of the 3
(If candle closes above or below the fast and intermediate averages, a buy or sell signal is indicated by bar color change)
-If the close falls between the two a cautionary signal is given. The viewer can hold, or take profit, or evaluate other indicators for clues
-Best results are obtained when coupled with Bjorgum TSI and Bjorgum RSI for confirmation of signals (see TradingView profile)

MACD Hybrid BSHMACD = Moving Average Convergence and Divergence
Hybrid = Combining the two main MACD signals into one indicator
BSH = Buy Sell Hold
This indicator looks for a crossover of the MACD moving averages (12ema and 26ema) in order to generate a buy/sell signal and a crossover of the MACD line (12ema minus 26ema) and MACD signal line (9ema of MACD line) in order to generate a completely seperate buy/sell signal. The two buy/sell signals are combined into a hybrid buy/sell/hold indicator which looks for one, neither, or both signals to be "buys." If both signals are buys (fast crossed above slow), a "buy" signal is given (green bar color). If only one signal is a buy, a "hold" signal is given (yellow bar color). If neither signal is a buy, a "sell" signal is given (red bar color). Note: MACD moving averages crossing over is the same thing as the MACD line crossing the zero level in the MACD indicator.
It makes sense to have the MACD indicator loaded as a reference when using this but it isn't required. The lines plotted on the chart are the 12ema and a signal line which is the MACD signal line shown relative to the 12ema rather than the MACD line. The 26ema is not plotted on the chart because the chart becomes cluttered, plus the moving averages crossing over is indicated with the MACD indicator.
This indicator should be used with other indicators such as ATR (1), RSI (14), Bollinger bands (20, 2), etc. in order to determine the best course of action when a signal is given. One way to use this as a strict system is to take a neutral cash position when a yellow "hold" signal is given, to go long when a
green "buy" signal is given, and to go short when a red "sell" signal is given. It can be observed that for many tickers and timeframes that green-yellow-green and red-yellow-red sequences are stronger signals than green-yellow-red and red-yellow-green signals.
Note: Chart type must be "bars" in order for the bar colorization to work properly
Bollinger Band Crossover SignalI'm a little surprised I couldn't find a BB crossover script on here since I've always used it on other charting software. So of course I had to write one in for TradingView.
Essentially what this script signifies are price breakouts when price crosses over the upper BB band. So what it shows is that market conditions are entering overbought territory.
Length is set to 20 and Standard Deviation is set to 2. These are the default settings.
The way I use the script is to identify breakouts in price, as well as a signal to start scaling out of a position if I am already in one.
Logistic EMA w/ Signals by DGTLogistic Map Equation - The logistic map connects fluid convection, neuron firing, the Mandelbrot set and so much more.
This study is an attempt to apply Logistic Map Equation in Trading
Logistic Map Equation
Xn+1 = r * Xn * (1 - Xn)
Where,
r - growth rate
Xn - percentage of theoretical maximum of measured event (from 0 to 1)
(1 - Xn) - represents constraints of the environment, presents the idea of negative feedback
For trading the measured event will be the price of the instrument (price is commonly reffered as source in mathematicall forumlations),
hence
r - growth rate can be expressed as => change(source, length) / source, expressing r in such manner mades the equation dynamic with regards to the growth rate
Xn - percentage of theoretical maximum of the price for given duration can be expressed as => source / highest(length)
Putting pieces together we are ready to plot
Printed alone does not seem to provide much useful visualization for trading, in fact not easy to interpret especially when the market is an uptrend
What it has numerically,
Provides a ratio, where sudden changes are much more reflected thanks to negative feedback nature of the logistic equation.
As we know moving average indicators are lagging and the logistic map may fit here to reduce the lag
With this study you will find application of Logistic Map Equation with combination of Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Logistic EMA (LEMA) and LEMA COLORS
one line with user defined periods of length, where the colors of the line will change automatically depending where the value is compared to 50-100-200 moving average
Multiple LEMAs : optional – three fixed lenght of 50-100-200 period lines
LEMA Signals
Various signals are added by using LEMA and applying some common market approaches. Use with caution and with conjunction of other indicators
Thanks to @allanster for the idea

CCI & EMA_CROSS_PaydarCCI & EMA_CROSS_Paydar
Hello everyone
This indicator is actually a very efficient oscillator,
This system is a unique combination of indicators CCI and EMA, which of course has special settings, these settings are adjusted as much as possible due to signaling.
As you can see in the picture:
CCI: the two colors line, green and red, are actually the same indicator CCI that I set to 20.
*Note that in index CCI I have set the lines +100 and -100 to +75 and -75 for less error and a stronger signal to sell or buy.
EMA: The white line, which is in the form of steps, is in fact the same indicator of EMA, which I have considered as a value of 9.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Instructions
-> areas:
Zone +75 to +200 = positive range or incremental price or bullish
Zone +75 to -75 = Neutral range or almost constant price (no fluctuations or very wet fluctuations)
Zone -75 to -200 = single range or discount price or bearish
->How to use:
Buy = In the bearish range, if line CCI intersects line EMA upwards and goes to the neutral zone.
None = if the index (or index lines) collide in the neutral zone
Sell = In the bullish range, if line CCI intersects line EMA down and goes to the neutral zone.
-> Please comment on this system or if you have a good experience in changing the values of the indicators or it seems to you, please share.
With great respect to:
Who had published the main idea of this system.

Candlestick Pattern IdentifierMy script builds upon another user-submitted script by rebuilding the logic used to identify candlestick patterns. The logic in my script is a mix of strict and lax guidelines to mitigate false flags and present valid buy and sell signals.
-To use this indicator, simply add it to any chart. It will identify trends on any time frame although the lower you go, the more signals you'll see and the higher probability of those signals being false flags. You can also disable any candlestick patterns that you feel are not as useful.
- This indicator works best with Stocks and also with Forex markets to a lesser extent.
- This indicator works the best on the Daily chart and also works (with varying degrees of success) on any timeframe at or above 1 hour. I've found that this indicator works the best when used in tandem with the Daily and Hourly charts with the Hourly chart being used to determine an entry point while the Daily chart is used for long term trend analysis.
Directional Movement IndexThis is a standard ADX DMI indicator with Background colour and the option to draw the Background colour of the next higher timeframe.
Ehlers Enhanced Signal To Noise Ratio [CC]The Enhanced Signal To Noise Ratio was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 87-88) and this is my favorite Ehlers Signal To Noise Ratio indicator. Scalpers like to use this indicator because when it is above the dotted line then the stock is trending and not trading sideways. Buy when the indicator line is green and sell when it is red.
Let me know when you want to see me publish other indicators or if you want something custom done!

Ehlers Signal To Noise Ratio [CC]The Signal To Noise Ratio was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 81-82) and this indicator is perfect for all of the scalpers out there! This will let you know when the stock is at a high volatility or not and when to buy or sell. If the indicator crosses over the dotted line then that means the stock is volatile and it is trading flat then it will be below the dotted line. Buy when the indicator line is green and sell when it is red.
This was a custom request so let me know if there are any other scripts you would like me to publish or if you want something custom done!
Internal Bar Strength IndicatorThe Internal Bar Strength Indicator is pretty basic but very intuitive. Most stocks that close near their high of the day tend to fall the next day and stocks that close near their low tend to rise the next day. This indicator has very similar buy and sell signals as the RSI. Buy when the indicator rises above its signal or if the indicator is in the red zone and rises up outside of the red zone. Sell when the indicator falls below its signal or if the indicator is in the green zone and falls down outside of the green zone.
Let me know if you would like to see other indicators from me!
Phase CalculationPhase Calculation was authored by John F. Elders in the Stocks and Commodities Magazine 11/1996
This indicator will tell you if the stock is in a uptrend or downtrend. A phase number with a low number means it is in a uptrend and a phase number with a high number means it is in a downtrend.
Let me know if you want to see me write code for different indicators!
