Mean-Reversion with CooldownThis strategy requires no indicators or fundamental analysis. It is designed for longer-term positions and works especially well on unleveraged instruments with strong long-term upward trends, such as precious metals. Feel free to experiment with different timeframes — I’ve found that 1-hour charts work particularly well for cryptocurrencies. The idea is to filter out ongoing bear phases as effectively as possible and capitalize on long-term bull runs. The script implements an idea that came to me in a state of complete sleep deprivation: open a random long position with a fixed take-profit (TP) and a tight stop-loss (SL). If the TP is hit — great, we simply try again. If the SL is triggered — too bad, we pause for a while and then try again. ## Cooldown (Waiting) Mechanism The waiting mechanism is simple: the more consecutive SL hits we get, the longer we wait before opening the next trade. The waiting time is measured in closed candles, and thus depends on the timeframe you are using. ## Two cooldown calculation modes are currently supported: ### 1. FIBONACCI The cooldown follows the Fibonacci sequence, based on the number of consecutive losses: 1st loss → wait 1 bar 2nd loss → wait 1 bar 3rd loss → wait 2 or 3 bars (depending on definition) 4th loss → wait 3 or 5 bars etc. ### 2. POWER OF TWO The cooldown increases exponentially: 1st loss → wait 2 bars 2nd loss → wait 4 bars 3rd loss → wait 8 bars 4th loss → wait 16 bars and so on, using the formula 2ⁿ. ## Configurable Parameters ### Cooldown Pause Calculation The settings allow you to define the SL and TP as percentages of the position value. The "Cooldown Pause Calculation" option determines how the next cooldown duration is computed after a losing trade. The system keeps track of how many consecutive losses have occurred since the last profitable trade. That counter is then used to compute how many bars we must wait before opening the next position. ### Maximum Cooldown The "Max Cooldown Candles" setting defines the maximum number of bars we are allowed to wait before placing a new trade. This prevents the strategy from “locking itself out” for too long and mitigates the fear of missing out (FOMO). Once the cooldown duration reaches this maximum, the system essentially wraps around and starts the progression again. In the script, this is handled using a simple modulo operation based on the chosen maximum.

Trend Breakout & Ratchet Stop System [Market Filter]Description: This strategy implements a robust trend-following system designed to capture momentum moves while strictly managing downside risk through a multi-stage "Ratchet" exit mechanism and broad market filters. It is designed for swing traders who want to align individual stock entries with the overall market direction. How it works: 1. Market Regime Filters (The "Safety Check") Before taking any position, the strategy checks the health of the broader market to avoid "catching falling knives." Broad Market Filter: By default, it checks NASDAQ:QQQ (adjustable). If the benchmark is trading below its SMA 200, the strategy assumes a Bear Market and suppresses all new long entries. Volatility Filter (VIX): Uses CBOE:VIX to gauge fear. If the VIX is above a specific threshold (Default: 32), entries are paused, and existing positions can optionally be closed to preserve capital. 2. Entry Logic Entries are based on Momentum and Trend confirmation. A position is opened if filters are clear AND one of the following occurs: Golden Cross: SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50. SMA Breakouts: A "Three-Bar-Break" logic confirms a breakout above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 (price must establish itself above the moving average). 3. The "Ratchet" Exit System The exit logic evolves as the trade progresses, tightening risk like a ratchet: Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Starts with a standard percentage Stop Loss from the entry price. Stage 1 (Breakeven/Lock): Once the price rises by Profit Step 1 (e.g., +10%), the Stop Loss jumps to a tighter level and locks there. This secures the initial move. Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): If the price continues to rise to Profit Step 2 (e.g., +15%), the Stop Loss converts into a dynamic Trailing Stop relative to the Highest High. This allows the trade to run as long as the trend persists. Additional Exits: Dead Cross: Closes position if SMA 25 crosses under SMA 50. VIX Panic: Emergency exit if volatility spikes above the threshold. Settings & Customization: SMAs: Adjustable lengths for all Moving Averages. Filters: Toggle Market/VIX filters on/off and choose your benchmark ticker (e.g., SPY or QQQ). Risk Management: Fully customizable percentages for the Ratchet steps (Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger, Trailing distance).

Dynamic Ratchet Trend Strategy [VIX Filter]Overview This strategy is a long-only trend-following system designed to capture major market moves while strictly managing downside risk through a state-machine based "Ratchet" exit logic. It incorporates a volatility filter using the CBOE VIX index to stay out of (or exit) the market during high-stress environments. Key Features 1. Multi-Condition Entries The strategy looks for momentum shifts and trend breakouts using four Simple Moving Averages (25, 50, 100, 200). Momentum Cross: SMA 25 crossover above SMA 50. Trend Breakouts: A specific "3-Bar Breakout" logic above the SMA 50, 100, or 200. This requires the price to hold above the SMA for 3 consecutive bars after being below it, reducing false signals compared to simple closes. 2. VIX Volatility Filter Before entering any trade, the script checks the CBOE:VIX. Filter: If VIX is above the threshold (default 32), new entries are blocked. Panic Exit: If you are in a position and the VIX spikes above the threshold, the strategy executes an immediate "Panic Exit" to preserve capital during market crashes. 3. The "Ratchet" Exit System (3 Stages) Unlike a standard trailing stop, this strategy uses a 3-stage dynamic exit mechanism that tightens as profits grow: Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Standard percentage-based Stop Loss from the entry price. Stage 1 (The Lock-In): Triggered when profit hits 10% (configurable). Unique Logic: Instead of trailing from the highest high, the stop is calculated based on the price at the exact moment this stage was triggered. It "steps up" once and holds, securing the initial move without being prematurely stopped out by normal volatility. Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): Triggered when profit hits 15% (configurable). The strategy switches to a classic Trailing Stop, following the percentage distance from the Highest High. 4. Emergency Backup A "Dead Cross" (SMA 25 crossing under SMA 50) acts as a final fail-safe to close positions if the trend reverses completely before hitting a stop. Settings & Inputs SMAs: Customize the lengths for all four moving averages. VIX Filter: Toggle the filter on/off and set the panic threshold. Exit Logic: Fully customizable percentages for Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger/Distance, and Stage 2 Trigger/Trailing Distance. Disclaimer This script is for educational purposes only.

Ratchet Exit Trend Strategy with VIX FilterThis strategy is a trend-following system designed specifically for volatile markets. Instead of focusing solely on the "perfect entry," this script emphasizes intelligent trade management using a custom **"Ratchet Exit System."** Additionally, it integrates a volatility filter based on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to minimize risk during extreme market phases. ### 🎯 The Concept: Ratchet Exit The "Ratchet" system operates like a mechanical ratchet tool: the Stop Loss can only move in one direction (up, for long trades) and "locks" into specific stages. The goal is to give the trade "room to breathe" initially to avoid being stopped out by noise, then aggressively reduce risk as the trade moves into profit. The exit logic moves through 3 distinct phases: 1. **Phase 0 (Initial Risk):** At the start of the trade, a wide Stop Loss is set (Default: 10%) to tolerate normal market volatility. 2. **Phase 1 (Risk Reduction):** Once the trade reaches a specific floating profit (Default: +10%), the Stop Loss is raised and "pinned" to a fixed value (Default: -8% from entry). This drastically reduces risk while keeping the trade alive. 3. **Phase 2 (Trailing Mode):** If the trend extends to a higher profit zone (Default: +15%), the Stop switches to a dynamic Trailing Mode. It follows the **Highest High** at a fixed percentage distance (Default: 8%). ### 🛡️ VIX Filter & Panic Exit High volatility is often the enemy of trend-following strategies. * **Entry Filter:** The system will not enter new positions if the VIX is above a user-defined threshold (Default: 32). This helps avoid entering "falling knife" markets. * **Panic Exit:** If the VIX spikes above the threshold (32) while a trade is open, the position is closed immediately to protect capital (Emergency Exit). ### 📈 Entry Signals The strategy trades **LONG only** and uses Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) to identify trends: * **Golden Cross:** SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50. * **3-Bar Breakouts:** A confirmation logic where the price must close above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 for 3 consecutive bars. ### ⚙️ Settings (Inputs) All parameters are fully customizable via the settings menu: * **SMAs:** Lengths for the trend indicators (Default: 25, 50, 100, 200). * **VIX Filter:** Toggle the filter on/off and adjust the panic threshold. * **Ratchet Settings:** Percentages for Initial Stop, Trigger Levels for Stages 1 & 2, and the Trailing Distance. ### ⚠️ Technical Note & Risk Warning This script uses `request.security` to fetch VIX data. Please ensure you understand the risks associated with trading leveraged or volatile assets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Stochastic Hash Strat [Hash Capital Research]# Stochastic Hash Strategy by Hash Capital Research ## 🎯 What Is This Strategy? The **Stochastic Slow Strategy** is a momentum-based trading system that identifies oversold and overbought market conditions to capture mean-reversion opportunities. Think of it as a "buy low, sell high" approach with smart mathematical filters that remove emotion from your trading decisions. Unlike fast-moving indicators that generate excessive noise, this strategy uses **smoothed stochastic oscillators** to identify only the highest-probability setups when momentum truly shifts. --- ## 💡 Why This Strategy Works Most traders fail because they: - **Chase prices** after big moves (buying high, selling low) - **Overtrade** in choppy, directionless markets - **Exit too early** or hold losses too long This strategy solves all three problems: 1. **Entry Discipline**: Only trades when the stochastic oscillator crosses in extreme zones (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts) 2. **Cooldown Filter**: Prevents revenge trading by forcing a waiting period after each trade 3. **Fixed Risk/Reward**: Pre-defined stop-loss and take-profit levels ensure consistent risk management **The Math Behind It**: The stochastic oscillator measures where the current price sits relative to its recent high-low range. When it's below 25, the market is oversold (time to buy). When above 70, it's overbought (time to sell). The crossover with its moving average confirms momentum is shifting. --- ## 📊 Best Markets & Timeframes ### ⭐ OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE: **Crude Oil (WTI) - 12H Timeframe** - **Why it works**: Oil markets have predictable volatility patterns and respect technical levels **AAVE/USD - 4H to 12H Timeframe** - **Why it works**: DeFi tokens exhibit strong momentum cycles with clear extremes ### ✅ Also Works Well On: - **BTC/USD** (12H, Daily) - Lower frequency but high win rate - **ETH/USD** (8H, 12H) - Balanced volatility and liquidity - **Gold (XAU/USD)** (Daily) - Classic mean-reversion asset - **EUR/USD** (4H, 8H) - Lower volatility, requires patience ### ❌ Avoid Using On: - Timeframes below 4H (too much noise) - Low-liquidity altcoins (wide spreads kill performance) - Strongly trending markets without pullbacks (Bitcoin in 2021) - News-driven instruments during major events --- ## 🎛️ Understanding The Settings ### Core Stochastic Parameters **Stochastic Length (Default: 16)** - Controls the lookback period for price comparison - Lower = faster reactions, more signals (10-14 for volatile markets) - Higher = smoother signals, fewer trades (16-21 for stable markets) - **Pro tip**: Use 10 for crypto 4H, 16 for commodities 12H **Overbought Level (Default: 70)** - Threshold for short entries - Lower values (65-70) = more trades, earlier entries - Higher values (75-80) = fewer but higher-conviction trades - **Sweet spot**: 70 works for most assets **Oversold Level (Default: 25)** - Threshold for long entries - Higher values (25-30) = more trades, earlier entries - Lower values (15-20) = fewer but stronger bounce setups - **Sweet spot**: 20-25 depending on market conditions **Smooth K & Smooth D (Default: 7 & 3)** - Additional smoothing to filter out whipsaws - K=7 makes the indicator slower and more reliable - D=3 is the signal line that confirms the trend - **Don't change these unless you know what you're doing** --- ### Risk Management **Stop Loss % (Default: 2.2%)** - Automatically exits losing trades - Should be 1.5x to 2x your average market volatility - Too tight = death by a thousand cuts - Too wide = uncontrolled losses - **Calibration**: Check ATR indicator and set SL slightly above it **Take Profit % (Default: 7%)** - Automatically exits winning trades - Should be 2.5x to 3x your stop loss (reward-to-risk ratio) - This default gives 7% / 2.2% = 3.18:1 R:R - **The golden rule**: Never have R:R below 2:1 --- ### Trade Filters **Bar Cooldown Filter (Default: ON, 3 bars)** - **What it does**: Forces you to wait X bars after closing a trade before entering a new one - **Why it matters**: Prevents emotional revenge trading and overtrading in choppy markets - **Settings guide**: - 3 bars = Standard (good for most cases) - 5-7 bars = Conservative (oil, slow-moving assets) - 1-2 bars = Aggressive (only for experienced traders) **Exit on Opposite Extreme (Default: ON)** - Closes your long when stochastic hits overbought (and vice versa) - Acts as an early profit-taking mechanism - **Leave this ON** unless you're testing other exit strategies **Divergence Filter (Default: OFF)** - Looks for price/momentum divergences for additional confirmation - **When to enable**: Trending markets where you want fewer but higher-quality trades - **Keep OFF for**: Mean-reverting markets (oil, forex, most of the time) --- ## 🚀 Quick Start Guide ### Step 1: Set Up in TradingView 1. Open TradingView and navigate to your chart 2. Click "Pine Editor" at the bottom 3. Copy and paste the strategy code 4. Click "Add to Chart" 5. The strategy will appear in a separate pane below your price chart ### Step 2: Choose Your Market **If you're trading Crude Oil:** - Timeframe: 12H - Keep all default settings - Watch for signals during London/NY overlap (8am-11am EST) **If you're trading AAVE or crypto:** - Timeframe: 4H or 12H - Consider these adjustments: - Stochastic Length: 10-14 (faster) - Oversold: 20 (more aggressive) - Take Profit: 8-10% (higher targets) ### Step 3: Wait for Your First Signal **LONG Entry** (Green circle appears): - Stochastic crosses up below oversold level (25) - Price likely near recent lows - System places limit order at take profit and stop loss **SHORT Entry** (Red circle appears): - Stochastic crosses down above overbought level (70) - Price likely near recent highs - System places limit order at take profit and stop loss **EXIT** (Orange circle): - Position closes either at stop, target, or opposite extreme - Cooldown period begins ### Step 4: Let It Run The biggest mistake? **Interfering with the system.** - Don't close trades early because you're scared - Don't skip signals because you "have a feeling" - Don't increase position size after a big win - Don't revenge trade after a loss **Follow the system or don't use it at all.** --- ### Important Risks: 1. **Drawdown Pain**: You WILL experience losing streaks of 5-7 trades. This is mathematically normal. 2. **Whipsaw Markets**: Choppy, range-bound conditions can trigger multiple small losses. 3. **Gap Risk**: Overnight gaps can cause your actual fill to be worse than the stop loss. 4. **Slippage**: Real execution prices differ from backtested prices (factor in 0.1-0.2% slippage). --- ## 🔧 Optimization Guide ### When to Adjust Settings: **Market Volatility Increased?** - Widen stop loss by 0.5-1% - Increase take profit proportionally - Consider increasing cooldown to 5-7 bars **Getting Too Few Signals?** - Decrease stochastic length to 10-12 - Increase oversold to 30, decrease overbought to 65 - Reduce cooldown to 2 bars **Getting Too Many Losses?** - Increase stochastic length to 18-21 (slower, smoother) - Enable divergence filter - Increase cooldown to 5+ bars - Verify you're on the right timeframe ### A/B Testing Method: 1. **Run default settings for 50 trades** on your chosen market 2. Document: Win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, emotional tolerance 3. **Change ONE variable** (e.g., oversold from 25 to 20) 4. Run another 50 trades 5. Compare results 6. Keep the better version **Never change multiple settings at once** or you won't know what worked. --- ## 📚 Educational Resources ### Key Concepts to Learn: **Stochastic Oscillator** - Developed by George Lane in the 1950s - Measures momentum by comparing closing price to price range - Formula: %K = (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × 100 - Similar to RSI but more sensitive to price movements **Mean Reversion vs. Trend Following** - This is a **mean reversion** strategy (price returns to average) - Works best in ranging markets with defined support/resistance - Fails in strong trending markets (2017 Bitcoin, 2020 Tech stocks) - Complement with trend filters for better results **Risk:Reward Ratio** - The cornerstone of profitable trading - Winning 40% of trades with 3:1 R:R = profitable - Winning 60% of trades with 1:1 R:R = breakeven (after fees) - **This strategy aims for 45% win rate with 2.5-3:1 R:R** ### Recommended Reading: - *"Trading Systems and Methods"* by Perry Kaufman (Chapter on Oscillators) - *"Mean Reversion Trading Systems"* by Howard Bandy - *"The New Trading for a Living"* by Dr. Alexander Elder --- ## 🛠️ Troubleshooting ### "I'm not seeing any signals!" **Check:** - Is your timeframe 4H or higher? - Is the stochastic actually reaching extreme levels (check if your asset is stuck in middle range)? - Is cooldown still active from a previous trade? - Are you on a low-liquidity pair? **Solution**: Switch to a more volatile asset or lower the overbought/oversold thresholds. --- ### "The strategy keeps losing money!" **Check:** - What's your win rate? (Below 35% is concerning) - What's your profit factor? (Below 0.8 means serious issues) - Are you trading during major news events? - Is the market in a strong trend? **Solution**: 1. Verify you're using recommended markets/timeframes 2. Increase cooldown period to avoid choppy markets 3. Reduce position size to 5% while you diagnose 4. Consider switching to daily timeframe for less noise --- ### "My stop losses keep getting hit!" **Check:** - Is your stop loss tighter than the average ATR? - Are you trading during high-volatility sessions? - Is slippage eating into your buffer? **Solution**: 1. Calculate the 14-period ATR 2. Set stop loss to 1.5x the ATR value 3. Avoid trading right after market open or major news 4. Factor in 0.2% slippage for crypto, 0.1% for oil --- ## 💪 Pro Tips from the Trenches ### Psychological Discipline **The Three Deadly Sins:** 1. **Skipping signals** - "This one doesn't feel right" 2. **Early exits** - "I'll just take profit here to be safe" 3. **Revenge trading** - "I need to make back that loss NOW" **The Solution:** Treat your strategy like a business system. Would McDonald's skip making fries because the cashier "doesn't feel like it today"? No. Systems work because of consistency. --- ### Position Management **Scaling In/Out** (Advanced) - Enter 50% position at signal - Add 50% if stochastic reaches 10 (oversold) or 90 (overbought) - Exit 50% at 1.5x take profit, let the rest run **This is NOT for beginners.** Master the basic system first. --- ### Market Awareness **Oil Traders:** - OPEC meetings = volatility spikes (avoid or widen stops) - US inventory reports (Wed 10:30am EST) = avoid trading 2 hours before/after - Summer driving season = different patterns than winter **Crypto Traders:** - Monday-Tuesday = typically lower volatility (fewer signals) - Thursday-Sunday = higher volatility (more signals) - Avoid trading during exchange maintenance windows --- ## ⚖️ Legal Disclaimer This trading strategy is provided for **educational purposes only**. - Past performance does not guarantee future results - Trading involves substantial risk of loss - Only trade with capital you can afford to lose - No one associated with this strategy is a licensed financial advisor - You are solely responsible for your trading decisions **By using this strategy, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks.** --- ## 🙏 Acknowledgments Strategy development inspired by: - George Lane's original Stochastic Oscillator work - Modern quantitative trading research - Community feedback from hundreds of backtests Built with ❤️ for retail traders who want systematic, disciplined approaches to the markets. --- **Good luck, stay disciplined, and trade the system, not your emotions.**

BTC Risk Metric DCA Adapter (3Commas Webhook Strategy)Risk Metric DCA Adapter (3Commas Webhook Strategy) - WORK IN PROGRESS This Pine Script strategy, originally inspired by the Risk Metric Indicator, is fundamentally engineered as an Adapter to interface with external trading bots like 3Commas via Webhooks. It calculates a dynamic market risk score and translates that score into specific dollar-cost averaging (DCA) entry levels and tiered profit-taking exits. Key Features & Logic Risk Metric Calculation (Credit to The Trading Parrot): The strategy incorporates a complex, multi-timeframe Risk Metric calculation based on daily and weekly moving averages (SMA) and standard deviation (StDev). This metric aims to quantify the current market overextension or compression relative to long-term historical data. The resulting score dictates the level of conviction for a new trade. Tiered DCA Entry Sizing: The strategy defines three distinct Buy Levels (L1, L2, L3) corresponding to increasingly favorable (lower) Risk Metric scores. L1 (Base): Risk is moderate, initiating the minimum defined trade amount. L2 (Scaled): Risk is low, initiating L1 amount + L2 amount. L3 (Aggressive): Risk is very low, initiating L1 + L2 + L3 amounts. Tiered Profit-Taking Exits: The strategy implements a staggered, partial profit-taking approach based on the Risk Metric rising: Sell L1 & L2: Closes a percentage of the current position when the Risk Metric reaches defined high thresholds, locking in partial profits. Sell L3 (Full Exit): Closes the remaining position when the Risk Metric reaches the highest defined threshold. The Adapter Function (Webhook Integration) This script is unique because it uses the Pine Script strategy() function to trigger Order Fills, which are necessary to access powerful placeholders in the TradingView alert system. Trigger Type: The alert must be set to trigger on Any order fill. Dynamic Webhook Data: Instead of using fixed alert() commands, the strategy generates dynamic labels (e.g., BUY_ENTRY_L3_USD_1000 or SELL_L1_PCT_25) using the strategy.entry and strategy.close commands. Data Transfer: The alert message then uses the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} to pass these dynamic labels to the 3Commas bot, allowing the bot to execute the precise action (e.g., start_deal_with_volume_in_quote_currency or close_deal_at_market_percentage). Full Strategy Webhook payload { "secret": "YOUR_3COMMAS_SECRET_KEY", "max_lag": "300", "timestamp": "{{timenow}}", "trigger_price": "{{close}}", "tv_exchange": "{{exchange}}", "tv_instrument": "{{ticker}}", "action": "{{strategy.order.action}}", "bot_uuid": "YOUR_BOT_UUID", "strategy_info": { "market_position": "{{strategy.market_position}}", "market_position_size": "{{strategy.market_position_size}}", "prev_market_position": "{{strategy.prev_market_position}}", "prev_market_position_size": "{{strategy.prev_market_position_size}}" }, "order": { "amount": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}", "currency_type": "base", "comment": "{{strategy.order.comment}}" } } Disclaimer: This script is an adapter tool and does not guarantee profit. Trading requires manual configuration of risk settings, bot parameters, and adherence to platform-specific setup instructions.

VIX Counter-Trend StrategyVIX Panic Index VOO Bottom-Fishing Strategy 📊 Strategy Overview This strategy utilizes the VIX (Volatility Index) as a market sentiment indicator to help investors rationally enter positions during periods of extreme market panic, using objective technical signals to avoid emotional decision-making. It is designed to capture rebound opportunities in VOO (or other US equity ETFs) following panic-driven selloffs. 🎯 Entry and Exit Conditions Entry Conditions (both must be met): VIX reaches or exceeds the set threshold (default 25, adjustable) VIX death crosses below its moving average (default 5-day MA), confirming panic sentiment is beginning to recede Exit Conditions (three modes available): Holding Period Mode: Exit after holding for the set number of days (default 100 days) VIX Decline Mode: Exit when VIX falls below the set threshold (default 20) Either Condition Mode: Exit when either condition is met ⚠️ Important Warnings Not Suitable for Leveraged ETF Bottom-Fishing: VIX reflects market volatility. Using leveraged ETFs (such as TQQQ, SOXL) increases risk due to decay effects and greater volatility, potentially causing larger losses during panic periods. Bear Market Inaccuracy Risk: This strategy assumes markets will rebound from panic. However, during prolonged bear markets or systemic risks (such as the 2008 financial crisis or 2022 rate hike cycle), VIX may remain elevated for extended periods, triggering multiple buy signals while prices continue declining, rendering the strategy ineffective. Recommended to Combine with Market Trend Analysis: Works better in bull market conditions. In bear markets, consider raising VIX thresholds or suspending use. For Reference Only, Not Investment Advice: Historical performance does not guarantee future results. Please use cautiously according to your personal risk tolerance. VIX 恐慌指數 VOO 抄底策略 📊 策略目的 本策略利用 VIX 恐慌指數作為市場情緒指標，幫助投資人在市場極度恐慌時理性進場抄底，並透過客觀的技術訊號避免情緒化操作。適合用於捕捉 VOO（或其他美股 ETF）在恐慌性下跌後的反彈機會。 🎯 進出場條件 進場條件（同時滿足）： VIX 指數達到設定門檻以上（預設 25，可調整） VIX 死亡交叉其均線（預設 5 日均線），確認恐慌情緒開始回落 出場條件（三種模式可選）： 持有天數模式：持有達到設定天數後出場（預設 100 天） VIX 回落模式：VIX 降至設定門檻以下時出場（預設 20） 兩者皆可模式：任一條件滿足即出場 ⚠️ 重要警語 不適合槓桿型 ETF 抄底：VIX 反映的是市場波動度，使用槓桿 ETF（如 TQQQ、SOXL）會因為衰減效應和更大波動而增加風險，可能在恐慌期間造成更大虧損。 空頭市場失準風險：本策略假設市場會從恐慌中反彈，但在長期空頭或系統性風險（如 2008 金融危機、2022 升息循環）中，VIX 可能長期處於高檔，多次觸發買入訊號卻持續下跌，導致策略失效。 建議搭配大盤趨勢判斷：在多頭格局中使用效果較佳，空頭格局建議提高 VIX 門檻或暫停使用。 僅供參考，非投資建議：歷史績效不代表未來表現，請依個人風險承受度謹慎使用。

Macketings 1min ScalpingThis is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout. Key Mechanics (How it Works): Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500). Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.) Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band. Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately: Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly. Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade). Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum. Disclaimer: This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.

Crude Oil Time + Fix Catalyst StrategyHybrid Workflow: Event-Driven Macro + Market DNA Micro 1. Macro Catalyst Layer (Your Overlays) Event Mapping: Fed decisions, LBMA fixes, EIA releases, OPEC+ meetings. Regime Filters: Risk-on/off, volatility regimes, macro bias (hawkish/dovish). Volatility Scaling: ATR-based position sizing, adaptive overlays for London/NY sessions. Governance: Max trades/day, cool-down logic, session boundaries. 👉 This layer answers when and why to engage. 2. Micro Execution Layer (Market DNA) Order Flow Confirmation: Tape reading (Level II, time & sales, bid/ask). Liquidity Zones: Identify support/resistance pools where buyers/sellers cluster. Imbalance Detection: Aggressive buyers/sellers overwhelming the other side. Precision Entry: Only trigger trades when order flow confirms macro catalyst bias. Risk Discipline: Tight stops beyond liquidity zones, conviction-based scaling. 👉 This layer answers how and where to engage. 3. Unified Playbook Step Macro Overlay (Your Edge) Market DNA (Jay’s Edge) Result Event Trigger Fed/LBMA/OPEC+ catalyst flagged — Volatility window opens Bias Filter Hawkish/dovish regime filter — Directional bias set Sizing ATR volatility scaling — Position size calibrated Execution — Tape confirms liquidity imbalance Precision entry Risk Control Governance rules (cool-down, max trades) Tight stops beyond liquidity zones Disciplined exits 4. Gold & Silver Use Case Gold (Fed Day): Overlay flags volatility window → bias hawkish. Market DNA shows sellers hitting bids at resistance. Enter short with volatility-scaled size, stop just above liquidity zone. Silver (LBMA Fix): Overlay highlights fix window → bias neutral. Market DNA shows buyers stepping in at support. Enter long with adaptive size, HUD displays risk metrics. 5. HUD Integration Macro Dashboard: Catalyst timeline, regime filter status, volatility bands. Micro Dashboard: Live tape imbalance meter, liquidity zone map, conviction score. Unified View: Macro tells you when to look, micro tells you when to pull the trigger. ⚡ This hybrid workflow gives you macro awareness + micro precision. Your overlays act as the radar, Jay’s Market DNA acts as the laser scope. Together, they create a disciplined, event-aware, volatility-scaled playbook for gold and silver. Antonio — do you want me to draft this into a compile-safe Pine Script v6 template that embeds the macro overlay logic, while leaving hooks for Market DNA-style execution (order flow confirmation)? That way you’d have a production-ready skeleton to extend across TradingView, TradeStation, and NinjaTrader.

GMH : Tech Bubble Good Morning Holding Simulating How to Ride the Bubble — and Jump Out Before the Crash Be careful! Most simulation results show that this strategy sometimes underperforms a simple buy-and-hold, because it gives away positions during deep retracements and buys back at higher thresholds. Humans often struggle with cutting losses. When the pain becomes too much, they lose the confidence needed to execute even a reasonable strategy. But in terms of mentality, this approach reduces long-term portfolio volatility. It helps investors feel more at peace, especially during real market crashes like the tech bubble in 2021.

週一普跌策略 Monday shit Strategy Strategy Description / 策略敘述 EN This strategy takes a short position at the start of each Monday, based on the hypothesis that cryptocurrency markets tend to experience post-weekend risk-off behavior. The system enters a full-equity short position at the Tokyo open (Taipei 08:00), aiming to capture Monday downside pressure resulting from accumulated weekend information and macro sentiment adjustments when traditional financial markets reopen. Risk management uses fixed percentage take-profit and stop-loss levels, emphasizing asymmetric reward-to-risk (large occasional gains, small frequent losses). The model reflects the increasing alignment between crypto price behavior and traditional financial market cycles. ZH-TW 本策略於每週一開盤時做空，基於假設加密資產在週末後具有風險釋放與補跌傾向。 系統會在台北時間早上 08:00 以全倉做空，目標捕捉因週末累積消息與傳統金融市場重新開盤所造成的下跌壓力。 風控採固定止盈、止損百分比，強調高報酬／低風險的不對稱結構（小虧多次、偶爾大賺）。 此模型反映加密貨幣市場行為與華爾街週期愈趨一致的市場現象。

DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower🐉 DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower Description: The DRACO TOMAS EMA Trend Follower is a simple yet powerful trend-following strategy designed to capture directional moves based on exponential moving average (EMA) crossovers. It automatically detects trend changes and manages positions dynamically. Core Logic: The strategy uses two EMAs — a Fast EMA (default 12) and a Slow EMA (default 21) — to identify the market trend. When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a long position, signaling bullish momentum. When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, the strategy opens a short position, signaling bearish momentum. The color of the EMAs changes dynamically: green for uptrends, red for downtrends. Exit rules: Longs are closed when the EMAs turn red (trend reversal to bearish). Shorts are closed when the EMAs turn green (trend reversal to bullish). Position Sizing: The system uses 10% of equity per trade by default, allowing flexible risk management and compounding. Purpose: Designed for traders who want a clean and efficient EMA crossover system to follow trends automatically on any timeframe or asset. Best Used For: Swing trading and trend confirmation Identifying major directional shifts Testing EMA-based momentum systems

NLR-ADX Divergence Strategy Triple-ConfirmedHow it works Builds a cleaner DMI/ADX Recomputes classic +DI, −DI, ADX over a user-set length. Then “non-linear regresses” each series toward a mean (your choice: dynamic EMA of the series or a fixed Static Mid like 50). The further a value is from the mean, the stronger the pull (controlled by alphaMin/alphaMax and the γ exponent), giving smoother, more stable DI/ADX lines with less whipsaw. Optional EMA smoothing on top of that. Lock in values at confirmed pivots Uses price pivots (left/right bars) to confirm swing lows and highs. When a pivot confirms, the script captures (“freezes”) the current +DI, −DI, and ADX values at that bar and stores them. This avoids later drift from smoothing/EMAs. Check for triple divergence For a bullish setup (potential long): Price makes a Lower Low vs. a prior pivot low, +DI is higher than before (bulls quietly stronger), −DI is lower (bears weakening), ADX is lower (trend fatigue). For a bearish setup (potential short) Price makes a Higher High, +DI is lower, −DI is higher, ADX is lower. Adds a “no-intersection” sanity check: between the two pivots, the live series shouldn’t snake across the straight line connecting endpoints. This filters messy, low-quality structures. Trade logic On a valid triple-confirm, places a strategy.entry (Long for bullish, Short for bearish) and optionally labels the bar (BUY or SELL with +DI/−DI/ADX arrows). Simple flip behavior: if you’re long and a new short signal prints (or vice versa), it closes the open side and flips. Key inputs you can tweak Custom DMI Settings DMI Length — base length for DI/ADX. Non-Linear Regression Model Mean Reference — EMA(series) (dynamic) or Static mid (e.g., 50). Dynamic Mean Length & Deviation Scale Length — govern the mean and scale used for regression. Min/Max Regression & Non-Linearity Exponent (γ) — how strongly values are pulled toward the mean (stronger when far away). Divergence Engine Pivot Left/Right Bars — how strict the swing confirmation is (larger = more confirmation, more delay). Min Bars Between Pivots — avoids comparing “near-duplicate” swings. Max Historical Pivots to Store — memory cap.

Aurum DCX AVE Gold and Silver StrategySummary in one paragraph Aurum DCX AVE is a volatility break strategy for gold and silver on intraday and swing timeframes. It aligns a new Directional Convexity Index with an Adaptive Volatility Envelope and an optional USD/DXY bias so trades appear only when direction quality and expansion agree. It is original because it fuses three pieces rarely combined in one model for metals: a convexity aware trend strength score, a percentile based envelope that widens with regime heat, and an intermarket DXY filter. Scope and intent • Markets. Gold and silver futures or spot, other liquid commodities, major indices • Timeframes. Five minutes to one day. Defaults to 30min for swing pace • Default demo used in this publication. TVC:GOLD on 30m • Purpose. Enter confirmed volatility breaks while muting chop using regime heat and USD bias • Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only Originality and usefulness • Unique fusion. DCX combines DI strength with path efficiency and curvature. AVE blends ATR with a high TR percentile and widens with DCX heat. DXY adds an intermarket bias • Failure mode addressed. False starts inside compression and unconfirmed breakouts during USD swings • Testability. Each component has a named input. Entry names L and S are visible in the list of trades • Portable yardstick. Weekly ATR for stops and R multiples for targets • Open source. Method and implementation are disclosed for community review Method overview in plain language You score direction quality with DCX, size an adaptive envelope with a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile, and only allow breaks that clear the band while DCX is above a heat threshold in the same direction. An optional DXY filter favors long when USD weakens and short when USD strengthens. Orders are bracketed with a Weekly ATR stop and an R multiple target, with optional trailing to the envelope. Base measures • Range basis. True Range and ATR over user windows. A high TR percentile captures expansion tails used by AVE • Return basis. Not required Components • Directional Convexity Index DCX. Measures directional strength with DX, multiplies by path efficiency, blends a curvature term from acceleration, scales to 0 to 100, and uses a rise window • Adaptive Volatility Envelope AVE. Midline ALMA or HMA or EMA plus bands sized by a blend of ATR and a high TR percentile. The blend weight follows volatility of volatility. Band width widens with DCX heat • DXY Bias optional. Daily EMA trend of DXY. Long bias when USD weakens. Short bias when USD strengthens • Risk block. Initial stop equals Weekly ATR times a multiplier. Target equals an R multiple of the initial risk. Optional trailing to AVE band Fusion rule • All gates must pass. DCX above threshold and rising. Directional lead agrees. Price breaks the AVE band in the same direction. DXY bias agrees when enabled Signal rule • Long. Close above AVE upper and DCX above threshold and DCX rising and plus DI leads and DXY bias is bearish • Short. Close below AVE lower and DCX above threshold and DCX falling and minus DI leads and DXY bias is bullish • Exit and flip. Bracket exit at stop or target. Optional trailing to AVE band Inputs with guidance Setup • Symbol. Default TVC:GOLD (Correlation Asset for internal logic) • Signal timeframe. Blank follows the chart • Confirm timeframe. Default 1 day used by the bias block Directional Convexity Index • DCX window. Typical 10 to 21. Higher filters more. Lower reacts earlier • DCX rise bars. Typical 3 to 6. Higher demands continuation • DCX entry threshold. Typical 15 to 35. Higher avoids soft moves • Efficiency floor. Typical 0.02 to 0.06. Stability in quiet tape • Convexity weight 0..1. Typical 0.25 to 0.50. Higher gives curvature more influence Adaptive Volatility Envelope • AVE window. Typical 24 to 48. Higher smooths more • Midline type. ALMA or HMA or EMA per preference • TR percentile 0..100. Typical 75 to 90. Higher favors only strong expansions • Vol of vol reference. Typical 0.05 to 0.30. Controls how much the percentile term weighs against ATR • Base envelope mult. Typical 1.4 to 2.2. Width of bands • Regime adapt 0..1. Typical 0.6 to 0.95. How much DCX heat widens or narrows the bands Intermarket Bias • Use DXY bias. Default ON • DXY timeframe. Default 1 day • DXY trend window. Typical 10 to 50 Risk • Risk percent per trade. Reporting field. Keep live risk near one to two percent • Weekly ATR. Default 14. Basis for stops • Stop ATR weekly mult. Typical 1.5 to 3.0 • Take profit R multiple.
