Breakout

Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Strategy [KL]I recently published an indicator called "Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Indicator". In the description of that script, I hypothesized about how the Efficiency Ratio could be applied to identify bullish moves in instances where price had already gone up steeply, but rests for a while, allowing for entry in expectation that price will continually rise. I decided to test out this idea with Pinescript. About Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio ("ER") ER was developed by a systematic trader by the name of Perry J. Kaufman. Formula The formula is: = A divided by B, where: A = Current closing price minus the closing price at the start of the lookback period B = Sum of differences between closing prices (in absolute terms) of consecutive bars over the lookback period How this strategy enters a trade (Long): - code: entry_signal_long = ER > 0 and ER_is_mid - meaning: when ER is positive, strategy assumes price has risen. Usually ER value begins high (red), and unless it is a false move, then it should stay positive. This strategy will patiently wait until ER drops to medium (yellow), and then place a trade. - how low/medium/high is dynamically determined: Refer to the description of my other script("Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio Indicator") for details. Trying to keep this as short as possible. How this strategy exits a trade (Long): - when price hits stop limit; stop limit is based on low of bars, trails upward based on ATR - included a feature called "tightening TSL", which tries to reduce the stop-buffer during periods of high volatility implied by ER (very experimental, opening the floor for suggestions on how this can be improved)

Roc Mean Reversion (ValueRay)This Indicator shows the Absolute Rate of Change in correlation to its Moving Average. Values over 3 (gray dotted line) can savely be considered as a breakout; values over 4.5 got a high mean-reverting chance (red dotted line). This Indicator can be used in all timeframes, however, i recommend to use it <30m, when you want search for meaningful Mean-Reverting Signals. Please like, share and subscribe. With your love, im encouraged to write and publish more Indicators.

[KL] Double Bollinger Bands Strategy (for Crypto/FOREX)This strategy uses a setup consisting of two Bollinger Bands based on the 20 period 20-SMA +/- (a) upper/lower bands of two standard deviations apart, and (b) upper/lower bands of one standard deviation apart. We consider price at +/- one standard deviation apart from 20-SMA as the "Neutral Zone". If price closes above Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation, then it's an opportunity for entry. Strategy will long, anticipating for breakout. The illustration below shows price closing above the Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation. a.c-dn.net Position is exited when prices closes at Neutral Zone (being lower than prior bars)

Linear Regression & RSI Multi-Function Screener with Table-LabelHi fellow traders.. Happy to share a Linear Regression & RSI Multi-Function Custom Screener with Table-Labels... The Screener scans for Linear Regression 2-SD Breakouts and RSI OB/OS levels for the coded tickers and gives Summary alerts Uses Tables (dynamica resizing) for the scanner output instead of standard labels! This Screener cum indicator collection has two distinct objectives.. 1. Attempt re-entry into trending trades. 2. Attempt Counter trend trades using linear regression , RSI and Zigzag. Briefly about the Screener functions.. a. It uses TABLES as Labels a FIRST for any Screener on TV. b. Tables dynamically resize based on criteria.. c. Alerts for breakouts of the UPPER and the LOWER regression channels.(2 SD) d. In addition to LinReg it also Screens RSI for OB/OS levels so a multifunction Screener. e. Of course has the standard summary Alerts and programmable format for Custom functions. f. Uses only the inbuilt Auto Fib and Lin Reg code for the screener.(No proprietary stuff) g. The auto Zigzag code is derived(Auto fib). Question what are all these doing in a single screener ?? ZigZag is very useful in determining Trend Up or Down from one Pivot to another. So Once you have a firm view of the Current Trend for your chosen timeframe and ticker… We can consider few possible trading scenarios.. a. Re-entry in an Up Trend - Combination of OS Rsi And a Lower Channel breach followed by a re-entry back into the regression channel CAN be used as an effective re-entry. b. Similarily one can join a Down Trend on OB Rsi and Upper Channel line breach followed by re-entry into the regression channel. If ZigZag signals a range-bound market, bound within channel lines then the Upper breakout can be used to Sell and vice-versa! In short many possibilities for using these functions together with Scanner and Alerts. This facilitates timely PROFITABLE Trending and Counter trend opportunities across multiple tickers. You must give a thorough READ to the various available tutorials on ZigZag / Regression and Fib retracements before attempting counter trend trades using these tools!! A small TIP – Markets are sideways or consolidating 70% of the time!! Acknowledgements: - Thanks a lot DGTRD for the Auto ZigZag code and also for the eagerness to help wherever possible..Respect!! Disclaimer: The Alerts and Screener are just few tools among many and not any kind of Buy/Sell recommendations. Unless you have sufficient trading experience please consult a Financial advisor before investing real money. *The alerts are set for crossovers however for viewing tickers trading above or below the channel use code in line 343 and 344 after setting up the Alerts! ** RSI alerts are disabled by default to avoid clutter, but if needed one can activate code lines 441,442,444 and 445 Wish you all, Happy Profitable Trading!

Breakout FinderHelo All, I got many requests for a Breakout script and here it's. This script searches the breakouts/breakdowns and draw square if there is one. The options: "Period" is used to find Pivot Points "Max Breakout Length" is the maximum length to search breakouts "Threshold Rate %" is channel width of the breakout area. calculated using highest/lowest of last 300 bars. "Minimum Number of Tests" is the minimum number of tests that the Price tried to break the S/R level and some options for coloring and linestyle Lets see some examples: in this example "Minimum Number of Tests" is 2 so the Price must have tested to break resistance area 2 times and then it breaks it as seen in the screenshot: in following example Threshold rate is %10, so the channel width is very big: as you can see in followinf screenshot you can choose different colors and line styles: Alerts added ;) Enjoy!

Qullamaggie BreakoutThe intent of this strategy is to buy breakouts with a tight stop on smaller timeframes in the direction of the longer term trend. Default longer term trend is the daily, but the user can choose any timeframe to use for the SMAs (which act as filters and trailing stops). Exit the trade using a trailing stop of a close below either the 10 MA or 20 MA (user choice) on that larger timeframe as the position moves in your favor (i.e. whenever position price rises above the MA). This is one area where this script could use a little work or some human intervention - when the trade is entered right in the vicinity of the moving averages, you get some whipsaw. Not sure how to avoid that at this point though if you want to look at those longer term moving averages as your exit criteria. Option of using daily ATR as a measure of finding contracting ranges and ensuring a decent risk/reward. (If the difference between the breakout point and your stop level is below a certain % of ATR, it could possibly find those consolidating periods.)

Best Bulls Bears Volume trend Breakout V2 [badshah_e_alam]This is a intraday indicator. Only to be used on timeframe less than daily charts. This indicator purely uses volume to plot the graph. The indicator helps in conforming a breakout strategy. This indicator is advanced version of my previously developed indicator you can check this link Total volume is made up of buying volume and selling volume . Buying volume is the number of shares, contracts, or lots that were associated with green bars, and selling volume is the number that were associated with red bars. The labels on the right side are the current bar value and that days bulls /bears weightage. the first value shows the current bar volume. second value show the bulls weight in % third value show the bears weightage throughout the day ( %) The Blue plot in graph keeps the track of bulls movement in intraday( %) The Red plot in graph keeps the track of bears movement in intraday ( %) X axis is time. Y axis ranges from 100 to -100 I use 1:2 risk to reward ratio. Do your own research. **not a financial advice** Example of price increasing, volume decreasing this indicator can be used for confirming a breakout strategy with bulls or bears in action. In the current example, the buyer’s volume percentage is reducing and the price is increasing throughout the day. Hence a breakout of the trendline is confirmation of a short trade. Example of Price reducing, volume decreasing example of price moving down , bears losing the grip Example of price decreasing volume increasing Thanks to nizar9599 for giving idea to improve my previous indicator.

CCI Breakout TraderWorks well on Bitcoin or most altcoins on a 15min chart or higher. What is this exactly? This is an indicator that uses horizontal RSI + EMA lines with a CCI line on top of it to provide optimal entry and exit positions for trading. There is also a breakout indicator based on the width of Bollinger Bands. How to use: If the blue stream passes upwards on the red heading to the white - it's heading towards a good BUY signal. To be safe you wait until it passes above the white line, then BUY LONG. Another signal to buy long is when the blue stream passes above the white and green lines. Selling is essentially the opposite, if the blue stream is passing down from the green or white lines, then it's time to sell and exit your trade. If you need help knowing when to enter and exit a trade the indicator will draw a grey candle on your chart to signal it's time to exit a long trade and it will draw a purple candle when it's time to enter a long. -- Breakout alert: If you see a green vertical bar it's a warning that there is a potential breakout in price coming for whichever coin you are looking at. The price breakout could go either direction, so make sure you watch the blue stream. -- Important tips: The direction of the green/white/red lines are important - if they are heading down that means it might not be the best time to enter your trade, even if the blue stream crosses up on the red and/or white lines. The colored horizontal lines are there to let you know if the blue stream is near the bottom of those lines (anywhere from hline 15 to 50) and heading upwards, you will more likely have a longer positive trade. If the blue stream is above 60 hline and it looks like a good trade (passing up on the red and white lines), expect to have a shorter trade. I use this for swing trading various crypto currencies, once you learn how to read it, you can catch amazing uptrends really early and you can exit trades before some big drops happen.

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 :) --- DISCLAIMER: Past performance is no guarantee of future results , and so on.. you know the drill ;) Please read whole description first before using, don't take 1-2 paragraph and claim it's the whole logic, you are responsible of your own actions and understanding.

Mark Earnings DayThe idea for today is to plot high / low prices on the Earnings day. (use only on Daily timeframe) And as we all know, most of the times, price is unidirectional after the earnings are declared. A target of 1:2 or even 1:5 can be easily achieved in these cases, within few days. Green label indicates, reported earnings are higher than estimated. Red indicates the other way. But 1, this does not necessarily indicate the trend direction. But 2, a breakout / breakdown of this day's candle mostly does. The other serving as a Stop Loss. Optionally, the scripts can also plot splits and dividends on the charts. The difference between this indicator and readily available default markings on the chart is, these figures are directly available on the chart itself, that saves multiple clicks.

Volume Positive Negative (VPN) [LevelUp]The idea and calculations for the Volume Positive Negative (VPN) indicator were created by Markos Katsanos. Markos wrote about the indicator in the article Detecting High-Volume Breakouts, published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities April, 2021 (Vol. 39, Issue 5). The goal of the VPN indicator is to detect breakouts using only volume. The basic idea is to compare volume on up days versus volume on down days. The indicator can oscillate between the range of -100 and 100. Values between 0 and 20 are generally considered bullish, negative are bearish. When the plotted VPN crosses over what Markos refers to as the critical value, that may indicate a high volume breakout. The critical value can be adjusted between 0 to 20, 10 is the default, Volume Positive Negative Calculation (VPN) VPN = (VP - VN) / MAV / Period * 100 VP - sum of positive volume VN - sum of negative volume MAV - moving average of volume Volume is considered positive when the average price is higher than the previous day's price by more than .1 of the ATR (average true range).

Trend ResumptionWe again keep it really simple. This indicator just plots the combination of RGRR and GRGG candlesticks. (R = Red / Bearish, G = Green / Bullish) When either pattern occurs, trade the combined high and combined low of recent 2 RR or recent 2 GG candles. I.e., Buy above GG's high with SL at GG's low. Sell below RR's low with SL at RR's high. Refer the shared chart for example. The signals were plotted on both the sides, and wherever triggered - gave rewards. Only 1 at 05-Apr, 10:50 a.m. did not trigger, but that must then be ignored. Do not hurry to enter the trade, wait for breakout / breakdown above combined high / low.
