Mirror Blocks: StrategyMirror Blocks is an educational structural-wave model built around a unique concept:
the interaction of mirrored weighted moving averages (“blocks”) that reflect shifts in market structure as price transitions between layered symmetry zones.
Rather than attempting to “predict” markets, the Mirror Blocks framework visualizes how price behaves when it expands away from, contracts toward, or flips across stacked WMA structures. These mirrored layers form a wave-like block system that highlights transitional zones in a clean, mechanical way.
This strategy version allows you to study how these structural transitions behave in different environments and on different timeframes.
The goal is understanding wave structure, not generating signals.
How It Works
Mirror Blocks builds three mirrored layers:
Top Block (Structural High Symmetry)
Base Block (Neutral Wave)
Bottom Block (Structural Low Symmetry)
The relative position of these blocks — and how price interacts with them — helps visualize:
Compression and expansion
Reversal zones
Wave stability
Momentum transitions
Structure flips
A structure is considered bullish-stack aligned when:
Top > Base > Bottom
and bearish-stack aligned when:
Bottom > Base > Top
These formations create the core of the Mirror Blocks wave engine.

Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short modes
Adjustable symmetry distance (Mirror Distance)
Configurable WMA smoothing length
Optional trend filter using fast/slow MA comparison

Volatilidade
Rasta Long/Short — StrategyThe Rasta Long/Short Strategy is a visual and educational framework designed to help traders study momentum shifts that appear when a fast EMA interacts with a slower smoothed baseline.
It is not a signal service. Instead, it is a research tool that helps you observe transitions, structure, and behavior across different market conditions and smoothing contexts.
The script plots:
A primary EMA line (fast reaction wave).
A Smoothed line (your chosen smoothing method).
Color-coded fog regions showing directional bias.
Optional DNA rung connections between the two lines for structural comparison.
Together, these allow a deeper study of how momentum pushes, volatility compression, expansions, and drift emerge around fast/slow EMA interactions.
✦ Core Idea
The Rasta Long/Short mechanism studies how price behaves when the fast EMA crosses above or below a smoothed anchor.
Rather than predicting price, it reveals where transitions occur across different structures, timeframes, and smoothing techniques.
The Long/Short logic simply highlights flips in directional structure.
It is not intended for real-time signals or automated execution; it is intended for understanding market movement.
✦ Smoothing Types (Explained)
The strategy allows experimenting with several smoothing families to observe how they transform the fast EMA:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
Averaged, slower response. Good for stability comparisons.
EMA (Exponential)
Faster reaction, more responsive, smoother behavior during momentum.
RMA (Wilder’s)
Used in RSI calculations; steady, well-balanced response.
WMA (Weighted)
More weight to recent bars; bridges SMA and EMA dynamics.
None
Raw EMA vs EMA interaction with no secondary smoothing.
Each smoothing type provides unique structural information and can lead to different interpretations.
✦ Modes of Study
Designed for multi-timeframe research:
1H / 4H — Momentum flow mapping and structural identification.
Daily / Weekly — Higher-timeframe rotations, macro structure transitions.
1–15m — Microstructure studies, noise vs trend emergence.
Use the built-in Strategy Tester to explore entry/exit context, but treat results as research, not predictive performance.
✦ Components (Visual Study Tools)
EMA Line (Fast)
Primary reactive wave. Shows fast directional shifts.
Smoothed Line (Slow)
Trend baseline / reference structure.
Fog Region
Highlights fast-vs-smoothed directional alignment.
DNA Rungs (Optional)
Structural “bridges” showing the exact relationship between waves on each bar.
Useful for studying separation, compression, and expansions.
✦ Educational Insights
This strategy helps illuminate:
How fast and slow EMAs interact dynamically.
How structure changes precede trend emergence.
Where volatility compresses before expansion.
How noise, drift, and clean reversals differ.
How different smoothers alter the interpretation of the same price data.
The goal is clarity — not prediction.
✦ How to Use
Apply to any timeframe or instrument.
Enable or disable fog depending on preferred visibility.
Use DNA rungs for close structural comparison.
Observe long/short flips as educational reference points — not signals.
Study transitions visually, then backtest using the Strategy Tester for pattern research.

Trinity ATR Strategy (Saty) - Backtest EditionThis is not supposed to be a standalone indicator, but releasing this to give a general overview of what it could do, each commodity and timeframe would need to be back tested. Use in conjunction with other indicators and price action. This is not financial advice and is not a guarantee of financial results.
ATR Trend + RSI Pullback Strategy [Profit-Focused]This strategy is designed to catch high-probability pullbacks during strong trends using a combination of ATR-based volatility filters, RSI exhaustion levels, and a trend-following entry model.
Strategy Logic
Rather than relying on lagging crossovers, this model waits for RSI to dip into oversold zones (below 40) while price remains above a long-term EMA (default: 200). This setup captures pullbacks in strong uptrends, allowing traders to enter early in a move while controlling risk dynamically.
To avoid entries during low-volatility conditions or sideways price action, it applies a minimum ATR filter. The ATR also defines both the stop-loss and take-profit levels, allowing the model to adapt to changing market conditions.
Exit logic includes:
A take-profit at 3× the ATR distance
A stop-loss at 1.5× the ATR distance
An optional early exit if RSI crosses above 70, signaling overbought conditions
Technical Details
Trend Filter: 200 EMA – must be rising and price must be above it
Entry Signal: RSI dips below 40 during an uptrend
Volatility Filter: ATR must be above a user-defined minimum threshold
Stop-Loss: 1.5× ATR below entry price
Take-Profit: 3.0× ATR above entry price
Exit on Overbought: RSI > 70 (optional early exit)
Backtest Settings
Initial Capital: $10,000
Position Sizing: 5% of equity per trade
Slippage: 1 tick
Commission: 0.075% per trade
Trade Direction: Long only
Timeframes Tested: 15m, 1H, and 30m on trending assets like BTCUSD, NAS100, ETHUSD
This model is tuned for positive P&L across trending environments and volatile markets.
Educational Use Only

Braid Filter StrategyThis strategy is like a sophisticated set of traffic lights and speed limit signs for trading. It only allows a trade when multiple indicators line up to confirm a strong move, giving it its "Braid Filter" name—it weaves together several conditions.
The strategy is set up to use 100% of your account equity (your trading funds) on a trade and does not "pyramid" (it won't add to an existing trade).
1. The Main Trend Check (The Traffic Lights)
The strategy uses three main filters that must agree before it considers a trade.
A. The "Chad Filter" (Direction & Strength)
This is the heart of the strategy, a custom combination of three different Moving AveragesThese averages have fast, medium, and slow settings (3, 7, and 14 periods).
Go Green (Buy Signal): The fastest average is higher than the medium average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated (not tangled up, which indicates a strong move).
Go Red (Sell Signal): The medium average is higher than the fastest average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated.
Neutral (Wait): If the averages are tangled or the separation isn't strong enough.
Key Trigger: A primary condition for a signal is when the Chad Filter changes color (e.g., from Red/Grey to Green).
B. The EMA Trend Bars (Secondary Confirmation)
This is a simpler, longer-term filter using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It checks if the current candle's average price is above or below this EMA.
Green Bars: The price is above the 34 EMA (Bullish Trend).
Red Bars: The price is below the 34 EMA (Bearish Trend).
Trades only happen if the signal direction matches the bar color. For a Buy, the bar must be Green. For a Sell, the bar must be Red.
C. ADX/DI Filter (The Speed Limit Sign)
This uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Indicators (DI) to check if a trend is actually in motion and getting stronger.
Must-Have Conditions:
The ADX value must be above 20 (meaning there is a trend, not just random movement).
The ADX line must be rising (meaning the trend is accelerating/getting stronger).
The strategy will only trade when the trend is strong and building momentum.
2. The Trading Action (Entry and Exit)
When all three filters (Chad Filter color change, EMA Trend Bar color, and ADX strength/slope) align, the strategy issues a signal, but it doesn't enter immediately.
Entry Strategy (The "Wait-for-Confirmation" Approach):
When a Buy Signal appears, the strategy sets a "Buy Stop" order at the signal candle's closing price.
It then waits for up to 3 candles (Candles Valid for Entry). The price must move up and hit that Buy Stop price within those 3 candles to confirm the move and enter the trade.
A Sell Signal works the same way but uses a "Sell Stop" at the closing price, waiting for the price to drop and hit it.
Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit):
Stop Loss: To manage risk, the strategy finds a recent significant low (for a Buy) or high (for a Sell) over the last 20 candles and places the Stop Loss there. This is a logical place where the current move would be considered "broken" if the price reaches it.
Take Profit: It uses a fixed Risk:Reward Ratio (set to 1.5 by default). This means the potential profit (Take Profit distance) is $1.50 for every $1.00 of risk (Stop Loss distance).
3. Additional Controls
Time Filter: You can choose to only allow trades during specific hours of the day.
Visuals: It shows a small triangle on the chart where the signal happens and colors the background to reflect the Chad Filter's trend (Green/Red/Grey) and the candle bars to show the EMA trend (Lime/Red).
🎯 Summary of the Strategy's Goal
This strategy is designed to capture strong, confirmed momentum moves. It uses a fast, custom indicator ("Chad Filter") to detect the start of a new move, confirms that move with a slower trend filter (34 EMA), and then validates the move's strength with the ADX. By waiting a few candles for the price to hit the entry level, it aims to avoid false signals.
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.

BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

Sigma Trinity ModelAbstract
Sigma Trinity Model is an educational framework that studies how three layers of market behavior interact within the same trend: (1) structural momentum (Rasta), (2) internal strength (RSI), and (3) continuation/compounding structure (Pyramid). The model deliberately combines bar-close momentum logic with intrabar, wick-aware strength checks to help users see how reversals form, confirm, and extend. It is not a signal service or automation tool; it is a transparent learning instrument for chart study and backtesting.
Why this is not “just a mashup”
Many scripts merge indicators without explaining the purpose. Sigma Trinity is a coordinated, three-engine study designed for a specific learning goal:
Rasta (structure): defines when momentum actually flips using a dual-line EMA vs smoothed EMA. It gives the entry/exit framework on bar close for clean historical study.
RSI (energy): measures internal strength with wick-aware triggers. It uses RSI of LOW (for bottom touches/reclaims) and RSI of HIGH (for top touches/exhaustion) so users can see intrabar strength/weakness that the close can hide.
Pyramid (progression): demonstrates how continuation behaves once momentum and strength align. It shows the logic of adds (compounding) as a didactic layer, also on bar close to keep historical alignment consistent.
These three roles are complementary, not redundant: structure → strength → progression.
Architecture Overview
Execution model
Rasta & Pyramid: bar close only by default (historically stable, easy to audit).
RSI: per tick (realtime) with bar-close backup by default, using RSI of LOW for entries and RSI of HIGH for exits. This makes the module sensitive to intra-bar wicks while still giving a close-based safety net for backtests.
Stops (optional in strategy builds): wick-accurate: trail arms/ratchets on HIGH; stop hit checks with LOW (or Close if selected) with a small undershoot buffer to avoid micro-noise hits.
Visual model
Dual lines (EMA vs smoothed EMA) for Rasta + color fog to see direction and compression/expansion.
Rungs (small vertical lines) drawn between the two Rasta lines to visualize wave spacing and rhythm.
Clean labels for Entry/Exit/Pyramid Add/RSI events. Everything is state-locked to avoid spamming.
Module 1 — Rasta (Structural Momentum Layer)
Goal: Identify structural momentum reversals and maintain a consistent, replayable backbone for study.
Method:
Compute an EMA of a chosen price source (default Close), and a smoothed version (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA/None selectable).
Flip points occur when the EMA line crosses the smoothed line.
Optional EMA 8/21 trend filter can gate entries (long-bias when EMA8 > EMA21). A small “adaptive on flip” option lets an entry fire when the filter itself flips to ON and the EMA is already above the smoothed line—useful for trend resumption.
Why bar close only?
Bar-close Rasta gives a stable, auditable timeline for the structure of the trend. It teaches users to separate “structure” (close-resolved) from “energy” (intrabar, via RSI).
Visuals:
Fog between the lines (green/red) to show regime.
Rungs between lines to show spread (compression vs expansion).
Optional plotting of EMA8/EMA21 so users can see the gating effect.
Module 2 — RSI (Internal Strength / Energy Layer)
Goal: Reveal the intrabar strength/weakness that often precedes or confirms structural flips.
Method:
Standard RSI with adjustable length and signal smoothing for the panel view.
Logic uses wick-aware sources:
Entry trigger: RSI of LOW (same RSI length) touching or below a lower band (default 15). Think of it as intraband reactivation from the bottom, using the candle’s deepest excursion.
Exit trigger: RSI of HIGH touching or above an upper band (default 85). Think of it as exhaustion at the top, using the candle’s highest excursion.
Realtime + Close Backup: fires intrabar on tick, but if the realtime event was missed, the close backup will note it at bar end.
Cooldown control: optional bars-between-signals to avoid rapid re-triggers on choppy sequences.
Why wick-aware RSI?
A close-only RSI can miss the true micro-extremes that cause reversals. Using LOW/HIGH for triggers captures the behavior that traders actually react to during the bar, while the bar-close backup preserves historical reproducibility.
Module 3 — Pyramid (Continuation / Compounding Layer)
Goal: Teach how continuation behaves once a trend is underway, and how adds can be structured.
Method:
Same dual-line logic as Rasta (EMA vs smoothed EMA), but only fires when already in a position (or after prior entry conditions).
Supports the same EMA 8/21 filter and optional adaptive-on-flip behavior.
Bar close only to maintain historical cohesion.
What it teaches:
Adds tend to cluster when momentum persists.
Students can experiment with add spacing and compare “one-shot entries” vs “laddered adds” during strong regimes.
How the Pieces Work Together
Rasta establishes the structural frame (when the wave flip is real enough to record at close).
RSI validates or challenges that structure by tracking intrabar energy at the extremes (low/high touches).
Pyramid shows what sustained continuation looks like once (1) and (2) align.
This produces a layered view: Structure → Energy → Progression. Users can see when all three line up (strongest phases) and when they diverge (riskier phases or transitions).
How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Quick Start
Apply script to any symbol/timeframe.
In Strategy/Indicator Properties:
Enable On every tick (recommended).
If available, enable Using bar magnifier and choose a lower resolution (e.g., 1m) to simulate intrabar fills more realistically.
Keep On bar close unchecked if you want to observe realtime logic in live charts (strategies still place orders on close by platform design).
Default behavior: Rasta & Pyramid = bar close; RSI = per tick with close backup.
Reading the Chart
Watch for Rasta Entry/Exit labels: they define clean structural turns on close.
Watch RSI Entry (LOW touch at/below lower band) and RSI Exit (HIGH touch at/above upper band) to gauge internal energy extremes.
Pyramid Add labels reveal continuation phases once a move is already in progress.
Tuning
Rasta smoothing: choose SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA or None. Higher smoothing → later but cleaner flips; lower smoothing → earlier but choppier.
RSI bands: a common educational setting is 15/85 for strong extremes; 20/80 is a bit looser.
Cooldown: increase if you see too many RSI re-fires in chop.
EMA 8/21 filter: toggle ON to study “trend-gated” entries, OFF to study raw momentum flips.
Backtesting Notes (for Strategy Builds)
Stops (optional): trail is armed when price advances by a trigger (default D–F₀), ratchets only upward from HIGH, and hits from LOW (or Close if chosen) with a tiny undershoot buffer to avoid micro-wicks.
Order sequencing per bar (mirrors the script’s code comments):
Trail ratchet via HIGH
Intrabar stop hit via LOW/CLOSE → immediate close
If still in position at bar close: process exits (Rasta/RSI)
If still in position at bar close: process Pyramid Add
If flat at bar close: process entries (Rasta/RSI)
Platform reality: strategies place orders at bar close in historical testing; the intrabar logic improves realism for stops and event marking but final order timestamps are still close-resolved.
Inputs Reference (common)
Modules: enable/disable RSI and Pyramid learning layers.
Rasta: EMA length, smoothing type/length, EMA8/21 filter & adaptive flip, fog opacity, rungs on/off & limit.
RSI: RSI length, signal MA length (panel), Entry band (LOW), Exit band (HIGH), cooldown bars, labels.
Pyramid: EMA length, smoothing, EMA8/21 filter & adaptive adds.
Execution: toggle Bar Close Only for Rasta/Pyramid; toggle Realtime + Close Backup for RSI.
Stops (strategy): Fixed Stop % (first), Fixed Stop % (add), Trail Distance %, Trigger rule (auto D–F₀ or custom), undershoot buffer %, and hit source (LOW/CLOSE).
What to Study With It
Convergence: how often RSI-LOW entry touches precede the next Rasta flip.
Divergence: cases where RSI screams exhaustion (HIGH >= upper band) but Rasta hasn’t flipped yet—often transition zones.
Continuation: how Pyramid adds cluster in strong moves; how spacing changes with smoothing/filter choices.
Regime changes: use EMA8/21 filter toggles to see what happens at macro turns vs chop.
Limitations & Scope
This is a learning tool, not a trade copier. It does not provide financial advice or automated execution.
Intrabar results depend on data granularity; bar magnifier (when available) can help simulate lower-resolution ticks, but true tick-by-tick fills are a platform-level feature and not guaranteed across all symbols.

PSAR with ATR Trailing Stop + SMA Filter📈 Strategy Overview: PSAR + 6×ATR Trailing Stop with SMA Filter
This strategy is built around the principle of “Cut the losers, let the winners run” — a disciplined, trend-following approach that combines the Parabolic SAR indicator with dynamic risk management and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter.
🔍 Strategy Logic
Trend Filter Trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, defined by a user-selected SMA (default: 100).
✅ Long trades only when price is above the SMA
✅ Short trades only when price is below the SMA
Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the Parabolic SAR flips to the opposite side of the price bars, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically set at 6×ATR from the entry price. This adapts to market volatility and is recalculated every bar — effectively acting as a trailing stop.
Exit Logic: There is no fixed take profit. The trade remains open until the trailing stop is hit — allowing winners to run and losers to be cut quickly.
Risk Management: Each trade risks 0.5% of total equity, ensuring consistent position sizing and capital preservation.

Tristan's Tri-band StrategyTristan's Tri-band Strategy - Confluence Trading System
Strategy Overview:
This strategy combines three powerful technical indicators - RSI, Williams %R, and Bollinger Bands - into a single visual trading system. Instead of cluttering your chart with separate indicator panels, all signals are displayed directly on the price chart using color-coded gradient overlays, making it easy to spot high-probability trade setups at a glance.
How It Works:
The strategy identifies trading opportunities when multiple indicators align (confluence), suggesting strong momentum shifts:
📈 Long Entry Signals:

Williams %R reaches 0 to -20 range (overbought)
Price touches or breaks above the upper Bollinger Band
All three conditions must align during your selected trading session
Visual Indicators:
(faint) Green gradients below candles = Bullish oversold conditions (buying opportunity)
(faint) Red/Orange gradients above candles = Bearish overbought conditions (selling opportunity)
Stacked/brighter gradients = Multiple indicators confirming the same signal (higher probability) will stack and show brighter / less faint
Blue Bollinger Bands = Volatility boundaries and mean reversion zones
Exit Strategy:
Long trades exit when price reaches the upper Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes overbought (≥70)
Short trades exit when price reaches the lower Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes oversold (≤30)
Key Features:
✅ Session Filters - Trade only during NY (9:30 AM-4 PM), London (3 AM-11:30 AM), or Asia (7 PM-1 AM EST) sessions
✅ No Repainting - Signals are confirmed on candle close for realistic backtesting and live trading
✅ Customizable Parameters - Adjust RSI levels, BB standard deviations, Williams %R periods, and gradient visibility
✅ Visual Clarity - See all three indicators at once without switching between panels
✅ Built-in Alerts - Get notified when entry and exit conditions are met
How to Use Effectively:
Choose Your Trading Session - For day trading US stocks, enable only the NY session. For forex or 24-hour markets, select the sessions that match your schedule.
Look for Gradient Stacking - The brightest, most visible gradients occur when both RSI and Williams %R signal together. These are your highest-probability setups.
Confirm with Price Action - Wait for the candle to close before entering. The strategy enters on the next bar's open to prevent repainting.
Respect the Bollinger Bands - Entries occur at the outer bands (price extremes), and exits occur at the opposite band or when momentum reverses.
Backtest First - Test the strategy on your preferred instruments and timeframes. Works best on liquid assets with clear trends and mean reversion patterns (stocks, major forex pairs, indices).
Adjust Gradient Visibility - Use the "Gradient Strength" slider (lower = more visible) to make signals stand out on your chart style.
Best Timeframes: 5-minute to 1-hour charts for intraday trading; 4-hour to daily for swing trading (I have also found the 3 hour timeframe to work really well for some stocks / ETFs.)
Best Markets: Liquid instruments with volatility - SPY, QQQ, major stocks, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, major indices
Risk Management: This is a mean reversion strategy that works best in ranging or choppy markets. In strong trends, signals may appear less frequently. Always use proper position sizing and stop losses based on your risk tolerance.

NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

AMF PG Strategy v2.3AMF PG Strategy v2.3
1. Core Philosophy: Filtered and Volatility-Aware Trend Following
"AMF PG Strategy" is an advanced trend-following system designed to adapt to the dynamic nature of modern markets. The strategy's core philosophy is not just to follow the trend but also to wait for the right conditions to enter the market.
This is not a "black box." It is a rules-based framework that gives the user full control over various market filters. By requiring multiple conditions to be met simultaneously, the strategy aims to filter out low-quality signals and focus only on high-probability trend opportunities.
2. Core Engine: AMF PG Trend Following
At the heart of the strategy is a proprietary, volatility-aware trend-following mechanism called AMF PG (Praetorian Guard). This engine operates as follows:
Dynamic Bands: Creates a dynamic upper and lower band around the price that is constantly recalculated. The width of these bands is not fixed; It dynamically adjusts based on recent market volatility, volume flow, and price expansion. This adaptive structure allows the strategy to adapt to both calm and high-volatility markets.
Entry Signals: A buy signal is triggered when the price rises above the upper band. A sell signal is triggered when the price falls below the lower band. However, these signals are executed only when all the active filters described below give the green light.
Trailing Stop-Loss: When a position is entered, the opposite band automatically acts as a trailing stop-loss level. For example, when a buy position is opened, the lower band follows the price as a stop-loss. This allows for profit retention and trend continuation.
3. Multi-Layered Filter System: Understanding the Market
The power of this strategy comes from its modular filter system, which allows the user to filter market conditions based on their own analysis. Each filter can be enabled or disabled individually in the settings:
Filter 1: Trend Strength (ADX Filter): This filter confirms whether there is a strong trend in the market. It uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicator and only allows trades if the ADX value is above a certain threshold. This helps avoid trading in weak or directionless markets. It also confirms the direction of the trend by checking the position of the DMI (+DI and -DI) lines.
Filter 2: Sideways Market (Chop Index Filter): This filter determines whether the market is excessively choppy or directionless. Using the Chop Index, this filter aims to protect against fakeouts by blocking trades when the market is highly indecisive.
Filter 3: Market Structure (Hurst Exponent Filter): This is one of the strategy's most advanced filters. It analyzes the current market behavior using the Hurst Exponent. This mathematical tool attempts to determine whether a market tends to trend (permanent), tends to revert to the mean (anti-permanent), or moves randomly. This filter ensures that signals are generated only when market structure supports trending trades.
4. Risk Management: Maximum Drawdown Protection
This strategy includes a built-in capital protection mechanism. Users can specify the percentage of their capital they will tolerate to decline from its peak. If the strategy's capital reaches this set drawdown limit, the protection feature is activated, closing all open positions and preventing new trades from being opened. This acts as an emergency brake to protect capital against unexpected market conditions.
5. Automation Ready: Customizable Webhook Alerts
The strategy is designed for traders who want to automate their signals. From the Settings menu, you can configure custom alert messages in JSON format, compatible with third-party automation services (via Webhooks).
6. Strategy Backtest Information
Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. The published chart and performance report were generated on the 4-hour timeframe of the BTCUSD pair with the following settings:
Test Period: January 1, 2016 - October 31, 2025
Default Position Size: 15% of Capital
Pyramiding: Closed
Commission: 0.0008
Slippage: 2 ticks (Please enter the slippage you used in your own tests)
Testing Approach: The published test includes 423 trades and is statistically significant. It is strongly recommended that you test on different assets and timeframes for your own analysis. The default settings are a template and should be adjusted by the user for their own analysis.

FluxVector Liquidity Universal Trendline FluxVector Liquidity Trendline FFTL
Summary in one paragraph
FFTL is a single adaptive trendline for stocks ETFs FX crypto and indices on one minute to daily. It fires only when price action pressure and volatility curvature align. It is original because it fuses a directional liquidity pulse from candle geometry and normalized volume with realized volatility curvature and an impact efficiency term to modulate a Kalman like state without ATR VWAP or moving averages. Add it to a clean chart and use the colored line plus alerts. Shapes can move while a bar is open and settle on close. For conservative alerts select on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs index futures large cap equities liquid crypto top ETFs
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 30min
• Purpose. Reduce false flips and chop by gating the line reaction to noise and by using a one bar projection
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Directional Liquidity Pulse plus Volatility Curvature plus Impact Efficiency drives an adaptive gain for a one dimensional state
• Failure mode addressed. One or two shock candles that break ordinary trendlines and saw chop in flat regimes
• Testability. All windows and gains are inputs
• Portable yardstick. Returns use natural log units and range is bar high minus low
• Protected scripts. Not used. Method disclosed plainly here
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Return basis. Natural log of close over prior close. Average absolute return over a window is a unit of motion
Components
• Directional Liquidity Pulse DLP. Measures signed participation from body and wick imbalance scaled by normalized volume and variance stabilized
• Volatility Curvature. Second difference of realized volatility from returns highlights expansion or compression
• Impact Efficiency. Price change per unit range and volume boosts gain during efficient moves
• Energy score. Z scores of the above form a single energy that controls the state gain
• One bar projection. Current slope extended by one bar for anticipatory checks
Fusion rule
Weighted sum inside the energy score then logistic mapping to a gain between k min and k max. The state updates toward price plus a small flow push.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion and order when close is below trend and the one bar projection is above the trend
• Short suggestion and flip when close is above trend and the one bar projection is below the trend
• WAIT is implicit when neither condition holds
• In position states end on the opposite condition
What you will see on the chart
• Colored trendline teal for rising red for falling gray for flat
• Optional projection line one bar ahead
• Optional background can be enabled in code
• Alerts on price cross and on slope flips
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Close by default
Logic
• Flow window. Typical range 20 to 80. Higher smooths the pulse and reduces flips
• Vol window. Typical range 30 to 120. Higher calms curvature
• Energy window. Typical range 20 to 80. Higher slows regime changes
• Min gain and Max gain. Raise max to react faster. Raise min to keep momentum in chop

HV Spike Strategy (HVP + OR Breakout + Reversal + TP/SL Modes)Here is a script that I tried to make it simple, although it has several parameters, I will try to explain, here we go:
Logic: Open Range Breakout: otherwise knows as First Candle Rule, usually used for the first candle in the opening of a market session, in my strategy there is an option to use it even for Crypto that operate 24/7, how to do that? Simply by detecting Volatility from the HVP (Historical Volatility Percentile). Then the ORB logic kicks in and the first candle with high volatility gives the ranges for the trades. The proper HVP Activation Threshold has to be selected for each currency pair/index/crypto in order to have maximum profit.
Enter a trade: when the price goes 100% above/below the First Candle Rule Range. That way it is filtering fake breakouts. Also if the price reverses back into the range the strategy takes the opposite trade.
Exit a trade: SL/TP By percentage or ATR, selection in the input menu.
My intention is to avoid using lagging indicators or guessing of Price Action, purely Bull/Bear indication by the first candle.
I hope you find this helpful! Wishing all successful Trades!
Bollinger Bands Breakout StrategyHey guys check out this strategy script.
Chart plotting:
I use a classic plot of Bollinger Bands to define a consolidation zone, I also use a separate Trend Filter (SMA).
Logic:
When the price is above the SMA and above the Bollinger Upper Band the strategy goes Long. When the price is below the SMA and below the Bollinger Lower Band the strategy goes Short. Simple.
Exits:
TP and SL are a percentage of the price.
Notes: This simple strategy can be used at any timeframe (I prefer the 15min for day trading). It avoids consolidation, when the price is inside the Bollinger Bands, and has a good success rate. Adjust the Length of the BB to suit your style of trading (Lower numbers=more volatile, Higher numbers=more restrictive). Also you can adjust the Trend Filter SMA, I presonally chose the 50 SMA. Finally the SL/TP can be also adjusted from the input menu.
Test it for yourself!
Have great trades!
Adaptive Trend 1m ### Overview
The "Adaptive Trend Impulse Parallel SL/TP 1m Realistic" strategy is a sophisticated trading system designed specifically for high-volatility markets like cryptocurrencies on 1-minute timeframes. It combines trend-following with momentum filters and adaptive parameters to dynamically adjust to market conditions, ensuring more reliable entries and risk management. This strategy uses SuperTrend for primary trend detection, enhanced by MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and optional volume spikes. It incorporates parallel stop-loss (SL) and multiple take-profit (TP) levels based on ATR, with options for breakeven and trailing stops after the first TP. Optimized for realistic backtesting on short timeframes, it avoids over-optimization by adapting indicators to market speed and efficiency.
### Principles of Operation
The strategy operates on the principle of adaptive impulse trading, where entry signals are generated only when multiple conditions align to confirm a strong trend reversal or continuation:
1. **Trend Detection (SuperTrend)**: The core signal comes from an adaptive SuperTrend indicator. It calculates upper and lower bands using ATR (Average True Range) with dynamic periods and multipliers. A buy signal occurs when the price crosses above the lower band (from a downtrend), and a sell signal when it crosses below the upper band (from an uptrend). Adaptation is based on Rate of Change (ROC) to measure market speed, shortening periods in fast markets for quicker responses.
2. **Momentum and Trend Filters**:
- **MACD**: Uses adaptive fast and slow lengths. In "Trend Filter" mode (default when "Use MACD Cross" is false), it checks if the MACD line is above/below the signal for long/short. In cross mode, it requires a crossover/crossunder.
- **RSI**: Adaptive period RSI must be above 50 for longs and below 50 for shorts, confirming overbought/oversold conditions dynamically.
- **Bollinger Bands (BB)**: Depending on the mode ("Midline" by default), it requires the price to be above/below the BB midline for longs/shorts, or a breakout in "Breakout" mode. Deviation adapts to market efficiency.
- **Volume Spike Filter** (optional): Entries require volume to exceed an adaptive multiple of its SMA, signaling strong impulse.
3. **Volatility Filter**: Entries are only allowed if current ATR percentage exceeds a historical minimum (adaptive), preventing trades in low-volatility ranges.
4. **Risk Management (Parallel SL/TP)**:
- **Stop-Loss**: Set at an adaptive ATR multiple below/above entry for long/short.
- **Take-Profits**: Three levels at adaptive ATR multiples, with partial position closures (e.g., 51% at TP1, 25% at TP2, remainder at TP3).
- **Post-TP1 Features**: Optional breakeven moves SL to entry after TP1. Trailing SL uses BB midline as a dynamic trail.
- All levels are calculated per trade using the ATR at entry, making them "realistic" for 1m charts by widening SL and tightening initial TPs.
The strategy enters long on buy signals with all filters met, and short on sell signals. It uses pyramid margin (100% long/short) for full position sizing.
Adaptation is driven by:
- **Market Speed (normSpeed)**: Based on ROC, tightens multipliers in volatile periods.
- **Efficiency Ratio (ER)**: Measures trend strength, adjusting periods for trending vs. ranging markets.
This ensures the strategy "adapts" without manual tweaks, reducing false signals in varying conditions.
### Main Advantages
- **Adaptability**: Unlike static strategies, parameters dynamically adjust to market volatility and trend strength, improving performance across ranging and trending phases without over-optimization.
- **Realistic Risk Management for 1m**: Wider SL and tiered TPs prevent premature stops in noisy short-term charts, while partial profits lock in gains early. Breakeven/trailing options protect profits in extended moves.
- **Multi-Filter Confirmation**: Combines trend, momentum, and volume for high-probability entries, reducing whipsaws. The volatility filter avoids flat markets.
- **Debug Visualization**: Built-in plots for signals, levels, and component checks (when "Show Debug" is enabled) help users verify logic on charts.
- **Efficiency**: Low computational load, suitable for real-time trading on TradingView with alerts.
Backtesting shows robust results on volatile assets, with a focus on sustainable risk (e.g., SL at 3x ATR avoids excessive drawdowns).
### Uniqueness
What sets this strategy apart is its **fully adaptive framework** integrating multiple indicators with real-time market metrics (ROC for speed, ER for efficiency). Most trend strategies use fixed parameters, leading to poor adaptation; here, every key input (periods, multipliers, deviations) scales dynamically within bounds, creating a "self-tuning" system. The "parallel SL/TP with 1m realism" adds custom handling for micro-timeframes: tightened initial TPs for quick wins and adaptive min-ATR filter to skip low-vol bars. Unlike generic mashups, it justifies the combination—SuperTrend for trend, MACD/RSI/BB for impulse confirmation, volume for conviction—working synergistically to capture "trend impulses" while filtering noise. The post-TP1 breakeven/trailing tied to BB adds a unique profit-locking mechanism not common in open-source scripts.

Hyper SAR Reactor Trend StrategyHyperSAR Reactor Adaptive PSAR Strategy
Summary
Adaptive Parabolic SAR strategy for liquid stocks, ETFs, futures, and crypto across intraday to daily timeframes. It acts only when an adaptive trail flips and confirmation gates agree. Originality comes from a logistic boost of the SAR acceleration using drift versus ATR, plus ATR hysteresis, inertia on the trail, and a bear-only gate for shorts. Add to a clean chart and run on bar close for conservative alerts.
Scope and intent
• Markets: large cap equities and ETFs, index futures, major FX, liquid crypto
• Timeframes: one minute to daily
• Default demo: BTC on 60 minute
• Purpose: faster yet calmer PSAR that resists chop and improves short discipline
• Limits: this is a strategy that places simulated orders on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Novel fusion: PSAR AF is boosted by a logistic function of normalized drift, trail is monotone with inertia, entries use ATR buffers and optional cooldown, shorts are allowed only in a bear bias
• Addresses false flips in low volatility and weak downtrends
• All controls are exposed in Inputs for testability
• Yardstick: ATR normalizes drift so settings port across symbols
• Open source. No links. No solicitation
Method overview
Components
• Adaptive AF: base step plus boost factor times logistic strength
• Trail inertia: one sided blend that keeps the SAR monotone
• Flip hysteresis: price must clear SAR by a buffer times ATR
• Volatility gate: ATR over its mean must exceed a ratio
• Bear bias for shorts: price below EMA of length 91 with negative slope window 54
• Cooldown bars optional after any entry
• Visual SAR smoothing is cosmetic and does not drive orders
Fusion rule
Entry requires the internal flip plus all enabled gates. No weighted scores.
Signal rule
• Long when trend flips up and close is above SAR plus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Short when trend flips down and close is below SAR minus buffer times ATR and gates pass
• Exit uses SAR as stop and optional ATR take profit per side
