HMA Crossover 1H with RSI, Stochastic RSI, and Trailing StopThe strategy script provided is a trading algorithm designed to help traders make informed buy and sell decisions based on certain technical indicators. Here’s a breakdown of what each part of the script does and how the strategy works:
Key Components:
Hull Moving Averages (HMA):
HMA 5: This is a Hull Moving Average calculated over 5 periods. HMAs are used to smooth out price data and identify trends more quickly than traditional moving averages.
HMA 20: This is another HMA but calculated over 20 periods, providing a broader view of the trend.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI 14: This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements over a 14-period timeframe. It helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Stochastic RSI:
%K: This is the main line of the Stochastic RSI, which combines the RSI and the Stochastic Oscillator to provide a more sensitive measure of overbought and oversold conditions. It is smoothed with a 3-period simple moving average.
Trading Signals:
Buy Signal:
Generated when the 5-period HMA crosses above the 20-period HMA, indicating a potential upward trend.
Additionally, the RSI must be below 45, suggesting that the market is not overbought.
The Stochastic RSI %K must also be below 39, confirming the oversold condition.
Sell Signal:
Generated when the 5-period HMA crosses below the 20-period HMA, indicating a potential downward trend.
The RSI must be above 60, suggesting that the market is not oversold.
The Stochastic RSI %K must also be above 63, confirming the overbought condition.
Trailing Stop Loss:
This feature helps protect profits by automatically selling the position if the price moves against the trade by 5%.
For sell positions, an additional trailing stop of 100 points is included.

The TII is plotted in blue, providing a visual representation of trend intensity.
SMA of TII:
An additional SMA is applied to the TII (matii) to smooth out fluctuations and provide a clearer long-term trend signal.
The SMA of TII is plotted in orange, offering a reference for long-term trend analysis.
Determining Potential Price Movements:
For Short-Term Traders:
When the blue TII line crosses above the orange SMA of TII line, it indicates a potential buy signal.
When the blue TII line crosses below the orange SMA of TII line, it indicates a potential sell signal.
For Long-Term Traders:
When the orange SMA of TII line crosses above the highlighted 0 line, it indicates a potential buy signal.
When the orange SMA of TII line crosses below the highlighted 0 line, it indicates a potential sell signal.
Plotting and Visualization:
The TII and its SMA are plotted with distinct colors for easy identification.
A horizontal line at 0 is plotted in gray to serve as a reference point for long-term trend signals.
The background color changes based on the value of the SMA of TII (matii):
Green background for matii values above 0, indicating bullish conditions.
Red background for matii values below 0, indicating bearish conditions.
Utility and Potential Usage:
The "Uptrick: Intensity Index" indicator is a powerful tool for both short-term and long-term traders, offering clear buy and sell signals based on the crossover of the TII and its SMA, as well as the position of the SMA relative to the zero line.
By consolidating multiple moving averages and their relative positions into a single indicator, traders can gain comprehensive insights into market trends and intensity.
The ability to adjust all inputs and toggle visibility options enhances the flexibility and utility of the indicator, making it suitable for various trading styles and market conditions.
Through its versatile design and advanced features, the "Uptrick: Intensity Index" indicator equips traders with actionable insights into trend intensity and potential price movements. By integrating this robust tool into their trading strategies, traders can navigate the markets with greater precision and confidence, thereby enhancing their trading outcomes.
WHAT SETTINGS TO HAVE FOR THE MOVING AVERAGE:
Short-term traders (day traders) might prefer a shorter SMA length (e.g., 5-20 periods) as they are looking for quick signals and react to price changes more rapidly.
Medium-term traders (swing traders) might opt for a medium SMA length (e.g., 20-50 periods) which can filter out some noise and provide a clearer signal on the trend.
Long-term traders (position traders) might choose a longer SMA length (e.g., 50-200 periods) to get a broader view of the market trend and avoid reacting to short-term fluctuations.

IsAlgo - Support & Resistance Strategy► Overview:
The Support & Resistance Strategy is designed to identify critical support and resistance levels and execute trades when the price crosses these levels. Utilizing a combination of a moving average, ATR indicator, and the highest and lowest prices, this strategy aims to accurately pinpoint entry and exit points for trades based on market movements.
► Description:
The Support & Resistance Strategy leverages the ATR (Average True Range) and a moving average to identify key support and resistance levels. The strategy calculates these levels by measuring the distance between the current market price and the moving average. This distance is continuously compared with each new candle to provide an estimate of the support and resistance levels.
The ATR is utilized to determine the width of these levels, ensuring they adjust to market volatility. To validate these levels, the strategy counts how often a candle’s low or high touches the estimated support or resistance and then bounces back. A higher frequency of such touches indicates a stronger, more reliable level.
Once the levels are confirmed, the strategy waits for a candle to close above the resistance level or below the support level. A candle closing above the resistance triggers a long entry, while a candle closing below the support triggers a short entry.
The strategy incorporates multiple stop-loss options to manage risk effectively. These options include setting stop-loss levels based on fixed pips, ATR calculations, or the highest/lowest prices of previous candles. Up to three take-profit levels can be set using fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios. A trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, and a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached.
Additionally, the strategy can close trades if the price crosses the opposite support or resistance level or if a candle moves significantly against the trade direction.

IsAlgo - Reverse Candle Strategy► Overview:
The Reverse Candle Strategy leverages a customizable moving average to identify the start of a trend. It utilizes the highest and lowest prices to define the trend and its corrections, executing trades based on custom candlestick patterns to capitalize on the main trend's continuation.
► Description:
The Reverse Candle Strategy is designed to effectively identify and trade market trends by combining moving averages and custom candlestick patterns. The core of the strategy is a single, customizable moving average, which helps determine the trend direction. When the market price crosses above the moving average, this signifies the beginning of an uptrend. The strategy then tracks the highest price reached during the uptrend and waits for a correction. A specific custom candlestick pattern signals the end of the correction, at which point the strategy executes a long trade.
In the case of a downtrend, the market price crossing below the moving average marks the trend’s start. The strategy monitors the lowest price during the downtrend and awaits a correction. The end of this correction is identified by another custom candlestick pattern, prompting the strategy to execute a short trade. This combination of a moving average with precise candlestick patterns ensures that trades are made at optimal moments, improving the likelihood of successful trades.
The integration of the moving average and candlestick patterns is critical. The moving average smooths out price data to highlight the trend direction, while the custom candlestick patterns provide specific entry signals after a correction, ensuring the trend’s resumption is genuine. This synergy enhances the strategy’s ability to filter out false signals and improve trade accuracy.
↑ Long Entry Example:
When the price is moving above the moving average and the highest price has been detected, the strategy will wait for the entry candle to execute the long trade.
↓ Short Entry Example:
When the price is moving below the moving average and the lowest price has been detected, the strategy will wait for the entry candle to execute the short trade.
✕ Exit Conditions:
To manage risk effectively, the strategy provides multiple stop-loss options. Traders can set stop-loss levels using fixed pips, ATR-based calculations, or the higher/lower price of past candles. Additionally, trades can be closed if a candle moves against the trade direction. Up to three take-profit levels can be set using fixed pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios, allowing traders to secure profits at different stages. The trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, locking in gains while allowing for continued potential upside. Furthermore, a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached, protecting against losses. Trades can also be closed when the price crosses the moving average.

AlgoBuilder [Trend-Following] | FractalystWhat's the strategy's purpose and functionality?
This strategy is designed for both traders and investors looking to rely on and trade based on historical and backtested data using automation. The main goal is to build profitable trend-following strategies that outperform the underlying asset in terms of returns while minimizing drawdown. For example, as for a benchmark, if the S&P 500 (SPX) has achieved an estimated 10% annual return with a maximum drawdown of -57% over the past 20 years, using this strategy with different entry and exit techniques, users can potentially seek ways to achieve a higher Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) while maintaining a lower maximum drawdown.
Although the strategy can be applied to all markets and timeframes, it is most effective on stocks, indices, future markets, cryptocurrencies, and commodities and JPY currency pairs given their trending behaviors.
In trending market conditions, the strategy employs a combination of moving averages and diverse entry models to identify and capitalize on upward market movements. It integrates market structure-based trailing stop-loss mechanisms across different timeframes and provides exit techniques, including percentage-based and risk-reward (RR) based take profit levels.
Additionally, the strategy has also a feature that includes a built-in probability and sentiment function for traders who want to implement probabilities and market sentiment right into their trading strategies.
Performance summary, weekly, and monthly tables enable quick visualization of performance metrics like net profit, maximum drawdown, compound annual growth rate (CAGR), profit factor, average trade, average risk-reward ratio (RR), and more. This aids optimization to meet specific goals and risk tolerance levels effectively.
-----
How does the strategy perform for both investors and traders?
The strategy has two main modes, tailored for different market participants: Traders and Investors.
Trading:
1. Trading (1x):
- Designed for traders looking to capitalize on bullish trending markets.
- Utilizes a percentage risk per trade to manage risk and optimize returns.
- Suitable for active trading with a focus on trend-following and risk management.
- (1x) This mode ensures no stacking of positions, allowing for only one running position or trade at a time.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
2. Trading (2x):
Similar to the 1x mode but allows for two pyramiding entries.
This approach enables traders to increase their position size as the trade moves in their favor, potentially enhancing profits during strong bullish trends.
◓: Mode | %: Risk percentage per trade
3. Investing:
- Geared towards investors who aim to capitalize on bullish trending markets without using leverage while mitigating the asset's maximum drawdown.
- Utilizes 100% of the equity to buy, hold, and manage the asset.
- Focuses on long-term growth and capital appreciation by fully investing in the asset during bullish conditions.
- ◓: Mode | %: Risk not applied (In investing mode, the strategy uses 100% of equity to buy the asset)

What's the purpose of using moving averages in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Using moving averages is a widely-used technique to trade with the trend.
The main purpose of using moving averages in this strategy is to filter out bearish price action and to only take trades when the price is trading ABOVE specified moving averages.
The script uses different types of moving averages with user-adjustable timeframes and periods/lengths, allowing traders to try out different variations to maximize strategy performance and minimize drawdowns.
By applying these calculations, the strategy effectively identifies bullish trends and avoids market conditions that are not conducive to profitable trades.
The MA filter allows traders to choose whether they want a specific moving average above or below another one as their entry condition.
This comparison filter can be turned on (>/<) or off.
For example, you can set the filter so that MA#1 > MA#2, meaning the first moving average must be above the second one before the script looks for entry conditions. This adds an extra layer of trend confirmation, ensuring that trades are only taken in more favorable market conditions.
MA #1: Fast MA | MA #2: Medium MA | MA #3: Slow MA
⍺: MA Period | Σ: MA Timeframe
-----
What entry modes are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
The strategy by default uses two different techniques for the entry criteria with user-adjustable left and right bars: Breakout and Fractal.
1. Breakout Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot high points with a default period of 3.
- It stores the most recent high level in a variable.
- When the price crosses above this most recent level, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot high left bars period | ◨: Pivot high right bars period
2. Fractal Entries :
- The strategy looks for pivot low points with a default period of 3.
- When a pivot low is detected, the strategy checks if all conditions are met and the bar is closed before taking the buy entry.
◧: Pivot low left bars period | ◨: Pivot low right bars period
By utilizing these entry modes, the strategy aims to capitalize on bullish price movements while ensuring that the necessary conditions are met to validate the entry points.
-----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Initial Stop-Loss:
1. ATR Based:
The Average True Range (ATR) is a method used in technical analysis to measure volatility. It is not used to indicate the direction of price but to measure volatility, especially volatility caused by price gaps or limit moves.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ATR, the True Range (TR) first needs to be identified. The TR takes into account the most current period high/low range as well as the previous period close.
The True Range is the largest of the following:
- Current Period High minus Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High minus Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low minus Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then calculated as the moving average of the TR over a specified period. (The default period is 14).
Example - ATR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ATR period | Σ: ATR Multiplier
2. ADR Based:
The Average Day Range (ADR) is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
Calculation:
- To calculate the ADR for a particular day:
- Calculate the average of the high prices over a specified number of days.
- Calculate the average of the low prices over the same number of days.
- Find the difference between these average values.
- The default period for calculating the ADR is 14 days. A shorter period may introduce more noise, while a longer period may be slower to react to new market movements.
Example - ADR (14) * 1.5
⍺: ADR period | Σ: ADR Multiplier
Application in Strategy:
- The strategy calculates the current bar's ADR/ATR with a user-defined period.
- It then multiplies the ADR/ATR by a user-defined multiplier to determine the initial stop-loss level.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
One of the key elements of this strategy is its ability to detec buyside and sellside liquidity levels across multiple timeframes to trail the stop-loss once the trade is in running profits.
By utilizing this approach, the strategy allows enough room for price to run.
There are two built-in trailing stop-loss (SL) options you can choose from while in a trade:
1. External Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses sell-side liquidity to trail your stop-loss, allowing price to consolidate before continuation. This method is less aggressive and provides more room for price fluctuations.
Example - External - Wick below the trailing SL - 12H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
2. Internal Trailing Stop-Loss:
- Uses the most recent swing low with a period of 2 to trail your stop-loss. This method is more aggressive compared to the external trailing stop-loss, as it tightens the stop-loss closer to the current price action.
Example - Internal - Close below the trailing SL - 6H trailing timeframe
⍺: Exit type | Σ: Trailing stop-loss timeframe
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance.
-----
What type of break-even and take profit identification methods are used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
For Break-Even:
- You can choose to set a break-even level at which your initial stop-loss moves to the entry price as soon as it hits, and your trailing stop-loss gets activated (if enabled).
- You can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based break-even, allowing you to set your break-even level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP1 (Take Profit 1):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed or 50% if the TP2 boolean is enabled.
- Similar to break-even, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP1 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
For TP2 (Take Profit 2):
- You can choose to set a take profit level at which your position gets fully closed.
- As with break-even and TP1, you can select either a percentage (%) or risk-to-reward (RR) based take profit level, allowing you to set your TP2 level as a percentage amount above the entry price or based on RR.
The underlying calculations involve determining the price levels at which these actions are triggered. For break-even, it moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price and activate the trailing stop-loss once the break-even level is reached.
For TP1 and TP2, it's specifying the price levels at which the position is partially or fully closed based on the chosen method (percentage or RR) above the entry price.
These calculations are crucial for managing risk and optimizing profitability in the strategy.
⍺: BE/TP type (%/RR) | Σ: how many RR/% above the current price
-----
What's the ADR filter? What does it do? What are the underlying calculations?
The Average Day Range (ADR) measures the volatility of an asset by showing the average movement of the price between the high and the low over the last several days.
The period of the ADR filter used in this strategy is tied to the same period you've used for your initial stop-loss.
Users can define the minimum ADR they want to be met before the script looks for entry conditions.
ADR Bias Filter:
- Compares the current bar ADR with the ADR (Defined by user):
- If the current ADR is higher, it indicates that volatility has increased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬆)
- If the current ADR is lower, it indicates that volatility has decreased compared to ADR (DbU).(⬇)
Calculations:
1. Calculate ADR:
- Average the high prices over the specified period.
- Average the low prices over the same period.
- Find the difference between these average values in %.
2. Current ADR vs. ADR (DbU):
- Calculate the ADR for the current bar.
- Calculate the ADR (DbU).
- Compare the two values to determine if volatility has increased or decreased.
By using the ADR filter, the strategy ensures that trades are only taken in favorable market conditions where volatility meets the user's defined threshold, thus optimizing entry conditions and potentially improving the overall performance of the strategy.
>: Minimum required ADR for entry | %: Current ADR comparison to ADR of 14 days ago.
-----
What's the probability filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability filter is designed to enhance trade entries by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out unfavorable conditions.
This filter helps in identifying optimal entry points where the likelihood of a profitable trade is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
Example - BSL > 50%
-----
What's the sentiment Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
Sentiment filter aims to calculate the percentage level of bullish or bearish fluctuations within equally divided price sections, in the latest price range.
Calculations:
This filter calculates the current sentiment by identifying the highest swing high and the lowest swing low, then evenly dividing the distance between them into percentage amounts. If the price is above the 50% mark, it indicates bullishness, whereas if it's below 50%, it suggests bearishness.
Sentiment Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current price is trading above the 50% daily range.
Bearish Bias: The current price is trading below the 50% daily range.
Example - Sentiment Enabled | Bullish degree above 50% | Bullish sentimental bias
>: Minimum required sentiment for entry | %: Current sentimental degree in a (Bullish/Bearish) sentimental bias
-----
What's the range length Filter? What are the underlying calculations?
The range length filter identifies the price distance between buyside and sellside liquidity levels in percentage terms. When enabled, the script only looks for entries when the minimum range length is met. This helps ensure that trades are taken in markets with sufficient price movement.
Calculations:
Range Length (%) = ( ( Buyside Level − Sellside Level ) / Current Price ) ×100
Range Bias Identification:
Bullish Bias: The current range price has broken above the previous external swing high.
Bearish Bias: The current range price has broken below the previous external swing low.
Example - Range length filter is enabled | Range must be above 5% | Price must be in a bearish range
>: Minimum required range length for entry | %: Current range length percentage in a (Bullish/Bearish) range
-----
What's the day filter Filter, what does it do?
The day filter allows users to customize the session time and choose the specific days they want to include in the strategy session. This helps traders tailor their strategies to particular trading sessions or days of the week when they believe the market conditions are more favorable for their trading style.
Customize Session Time:
Users can define the start and end times for the trading session.
This allows the strategy to only consider trades within the specified time window, focusing on periods of higher market activity or preferred trading hours.
Select Days:
Users can select which days of the week to include in the strategy.
This feature is useful for excluding days with historically lower volatility or unfavorable trading conditions (e.g., Mondays or Fridays).
Benefits:
Focus on Optimal Trading Periods:
By customizing session times and days, traders can focus on periods when the market is more likely to present profitable opportunities.
Avoid Unfavorable Conditions:
Excluding specific days or times can help avoid trading during periods of low liquidity or high unpredictability, such as major news events or holidays.
Increased Flexibility: The filter provides increased flexibility, allowing traders to adapt the strategy to their specific needs and preferences.
Example - Day filter | Session Filter
θ: Session time | Exchange time-zone

What tables are available in this script?
Table Type:
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades, Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), MAR and more.
CAGR: It calculates the 'Compound Annual Growth Rate' first and last taken trades on your chart. The CAGR is a notional, annualized growth rate that assumes all profits are reinvested. It only takes into account the prices of the two end points — not drawdowns, so it does not calculate risk. It can be used as a yardstick to compare the performance of two strategies. Since it annualizes values, it requires a minimum 4H timeframe to display the CAGR value. annualizing returns over smaller periods of times doesn't produce very meaningful figures.
MAR: Measure of return adjusted for risk: CAGR divided by Max Drawdown. Indicates how comfortable the system might be to trade. Higher than 0.5 is ideal, 1.0 and above is very good, and anything above 3.0 should be considered suspicious and you need to make sure the total number of trades are high enough by running a Deep Backtest in strategy tester. (available for TradingView Premium users.)
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most trend-following successful strategies have a percent profitability of 15-40% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- OFF: Hides the performance table.
Labels:
- OFF: Hides labels in the performance table.
- PnL: Shows the profit and loss of each trade individually, providing detailed insights into the performance of each trade.
- Range: Shows the range length and Average Day Range (ADR), offering additional context about market conditions during each trade.
Profit Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing profit in the performance table, helping to quickly distinguish profitable periods.
Loss Color:
- Allows users to set the color for representing loss in the performance table, helping to quickly identify loss-making periods.
These customizable tables provide traders with flexible and detailed performance analysis, aiding in better strategy evaluation and optimization.

IsAlgo - Ultra Trend Strategy► Overview:
The Ultra Trend strategy is designed to identify trend lines based on average price movement and execute trades when the price crosses the middle line, confirmed by an entry candle. This strategy combines ATR, Moving Averages, and customizable candlestick patterns to provide a versatile and robust trading approach.
► Description:
The Ultra Trend strategy employs a multi-faceted approach to accurately gauge market trends and execute trades. It combines the Average True Range (ATR) with trendline analysis and Moving Averages, providing a comprehensive view of market conditions. The strategy uses ATR to measure market volatility and the average price movement, helping to set dynamic thresholds for trend detection and adapting to changing market conditions. The slope of the trend is calculated based on the angle of price movement, which aids in identifying the strength and direction of the trend.
Additionally, a Moving Average is used to filter trades, ensuring alignment with the broader market direction and reducing false signals, thereby enhancing trade accuracy.
Traders can configure the strategy to enter trades in the direction of the trend, against the trend, or both. This feature enhances the adaptability of the Ultra Trend strategy, making it suitable for various trading styles and market environments.
↑ Long Entry:
A long trade is executed when the entry candle crosses and closes above the trend line. This indicates a bullish market condition, signaling an opportunity to enter a buy position.
↓ Short Entry:
A short trade is executed when the entry candle crosses and closes below the trend line. This indicates a bearish market condition, signaling an opportunity to enter a sell position.
✕ Exit Conditions:
The strategy offers multiple stop-loss options to manage risk effectively. Traders can set stop-loss levels using fixed pips, ATR-based calculations, the higher/lower price of past candles, or close a trade if a candle moves against the trade direction.
Up to three take profit levels can be set using methods such as fixed pips, ATR, and risk-to-reward ratios. This allows traders to secure profits at various stages of the trade.
A trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, locking in gains while allowing the trade to continue capturing potential upside. Additionally, a break-even feature moves the stop loss to the entry price once a certain profit level is reached, protecting against losses.
Trades can also be closed when a trend change is detected or when a candle closes outside a predefined channel, ensuring that positions are exited promptly in response to changing market conditions.
► Features and Settings:
⚙︎ Trend: Users can configure the trend direction, length, factor, and slope, allowing for precise control over how trends are identified and followed.
⚙︎ Moving Average: An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) can be employed to confirm the trend direction indicated by the trend lines. This provides further assurance that the trend line breakout is not a false signal. The EMA can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
⚙︎ Entry Candle: The entry candle is the candle that breaks the trend line, signaling an entry opportunity. Users can specify the minimum and maximum size of the candle's body and the ratio of the body to the entire candle size. This ensures that only significant breakouts trigger trades.
⚙︎ Trading Session: This feature allows users to define specific trading hours during which the strategy should operate, ensuring trades are executed only during preferred market periods.
⚙︎ Trading Days: Users can specify which days the strategy should be active, offering the flexibility to avoid trading on specific days of the week.
⚙︎ Backtesting: Enables a backtesting period during which the strategy can be tested over a selected start and end date. This feature can be deactivated if not needed.
⚙︎ Trades: This includes configuring the direction of trades (long, short, or both), position sizing (fixed or percentage-based), the maximum number of open trades, and limitations on the number of trades per day or based on trend.
⚙︎ Trades Exit: The strategy offers various exit methods, such as setting profit or loss limits, specifying the duration a trade should remain open, or closing trades based on trend reversal.
⚙︎ Stop Loss: Various stop-loss methods are available, including a fixed number of pips, ATR-based, or using the highest or lowest price points within a specified number of previous candles. Additionally, trades can be closed after a specific number of candles move in the opposite direction of the trade.
⚙︎ Break Even: This feature adjusts the stop loss to a break-even point once certain conditions are met, such as reaching predefined profit levels, to protect gains.
⚙︎ Trailing Stop: The trailing stop feature adjusts the stop loss as the trade moves into profit, securing gains while potentially capturing further upside.
⚙︎ Take Profit: Up to three take-profit levels can be set using various methods, such as a fixed amount of pips, ATR, or risk-to-reward ratios based on the stop loss. Alternatively, users can specify a set number of candles moving in the direction of the trade.
⚙︎ Alerts: The strategy includes a comprehensive alert system that informs the user of all significant actions, such as trade openings and closings. It supports placeholders for dynamic values like take-profit levels and stop-loss prices.
⚙︎ Dashboard: A visual display provides detailed information about ongoing and past trades on the chart, helping users monitor the strategy's performance and make informed decisions.

This strategy is specifically tailored for the EGLD/USDT.P pair on Binance, using a 5-minute interval to capture timely trading opportunities in a volatile market.
Key Features:
Combining EMA and RSI for Robust Signals
This script combines the EMA, which helps identify the overall trend direction, with the RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
The combination ensures that you get high-probability signals by leveraging both trend-following and momentum-based indicators.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis
Analyze the EMA and RSI across different timeframes to gain a comprehensive view of market conditions and make more informed trading decisions.
Reversing and Extending Signals
Reverse signals generated by indicators to adapt to various market conditions.
Extend signals by specifying conditions such as "RSI cross AND EMA cross WITHIN 2 bars" to capture more nuanced trading opportunities.
Backtesting and Risk Management
Evaluate the performance of your strategies by feeding the results into a backtesting engine.
The strategy risks a maximum of 10% of the account on a single trade to maintain sustainable risk levels.
Available Indicators:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Helps identify the overall trend direction.
Signals:
Long Entry: When the price closes above the EMA.
Short Entry: When the price closes below the EMA.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures the speed and change of price movements.
Signals:
Long Entry: When RSI is below the oversold level (30).
Short Entry: When RSI is above the overbought level (70).
How It Works:
Long Entry: A buy signal is generated when the price closes above the EMA and the RSI is below the oversold level (30). This indicates that the price is in an upward trend and temporarily oversold, presenting a potential buying opportunity.
Short Entry: A sell signal is generated when the price closes below the EMA and the RSI is above the overbought level (70). This indicates that the price is in a downward trend and temporarily overbought, presenting a potential selling opportunity.
Close Long Position: The script closes long positions when the conditions for a short entry are met.
Close Short Position: The script closes short positions when the conditions for a long entry are met.

Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) Strategy [TradeDots]"The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) Strategy" is a trend-following system that leverages the adaptive qualities of the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA). This strategy is distinguished by its ability to adjust dynamically to market volatility, enhancing trading accuracy by minimizing the effects of false and delayed signals often associated with the Simple Moving Average (SMA).
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy is centered around use of the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) indicator, which refines the principles of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a superior smoothing technique.
KAMA distinguishes itself by its responsiveness to changes in market prices through an "Efficiency Ratio (ER)." This ratio is computed by dividing the recent absolute net price change by the cumulative sum of the absolute price changes over a specified period. The resulting ER value ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates high market noise and 1 reflects stronger market momentum.
Using ER, we could get the smoothing constant (SC) for the moving average derived using the following formula:
fastest = 2/(fastma_length + 1)
slowest = 2/(slowma_length + 1)
SC = math.pow((ER * (fastest-slowest) + slowest), 2)
The KAMA line is then calculated by applying the SC to the difference between the current price and the previous KAMA.
APPLICATION
For entering long positions, this strategy initializes when there is a sequence of 10 consecutive rising KAMA lines. Conversely, a sequence of 10 consecutive falling KAMA lines triggers sell orders for long positions. The same logic applies inversely for short positions.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 80%
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.

Golden Cross VWMA & EMA 4h PinescriptlabsThis strategy combines the 50-period Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) on the current timeframe with a 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour timeframe. This combination of indicators with different characteristics and time horizons aims to identify strong and sustained trends across multiple timeframes.
The VWMA is a variant of the moving average that assigns greater weight to periods of higher volatility, helping to avoid misleading signals. On the other hand, the 4-hour SMA is used as an additional trend filter in a shorter-term horizon. By combining these two indicators, the strategy can leverage the strength of the VWMA to capture the main trend, but only when confirmed by the SMA in the lower timeframe.
Buy signals are generated when the VWMA crosses above the 4-hour SMA, indicating a potential bullish trend aligned in both timeframes. Sell signals occur on a bearish cross, suggesting a possible reversal of the main trend.
The default parameters are a 50-period VWMA and a 200-period 4-hour SMA. It is recommended to adjust these lengths according to the traded instrument and the desired timeframe. It is also crucial to use stop losses and profit targets to properly manage risk.
By combining indicators of different types and timeframes, this strategy aims to provide a more comprehensive view of trend strength.
Español:
Esta estrategia combina la Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) de 50 períodos en el timeframe actual con una Simple Moving Average (SMA) de 200 períodos en el timeframe de 4 horas. Esta combinación de indicadores de distinta naturaleza y horizontes temporales busca identificar tendencias fuertes y sostenidas en múltiples timeframes.
La VWMA es una variante de la media móvil que asigna mayor ponderación a los períodos de mayor volatilidad, lo que ayuda a evitar señales engañosas. Por otro lado, la SMA de 4 horas se utiliza como un filtro adicional de tendencia en un horizonte de corto plazo. Al combinar estos dos indicadores, la estrategia puede aprovechar la fortaleza de la VWMA para capturar la tendencia principal, pero sólo cuando es confirmada por la SMA en el timeframe menor.
Las señales de compra se generan cuando la VWMA cruza al alza la SMA de 4 horas, indicando una potencial tendencia alcista alineada en ambos horizontes temporales. Las señales de venta ocurren en el cruce bajista, sugiriendo una posible reversión de la tendencia principal.
Los parámetros predeterminados son: VWMA de 50 períodos y SMA de 4 horas de 200 períodos. Se recomienda ajustar estas longitudes según el instrumento operado y el horizonte temporal deseado. También es crucial utilizar stops y objetivos de ganancias para controlar adecuadamente el riesgo.
Al combinar indicadores de diferentes tipos y timeframes, esta estrategia busca brindar una visión más completa de la fuerza de la tendencia.
Trend Following Parabolic Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The Trend Following Parabolic Buy-Sell Strategy leverages the Parabolic SAR in combination with moving average crossovers to deliver buy and sell signals within a trend-following framework.
This strategy synthesizes proven methodologies sourced from various trading tutorials available on platforms such as YouTube and blogs, enabling traders to conduct robust backtesting on their selected trading pairs to assess the strategy's effectiveness.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy employs four key indicators to orchestrate its trading signals:
1. Trend Alignment: It first assesses the relationship between the price and the predominant trendline to determine the directional stance—taking long positions only when the price trends above the moving average, signaling an upward market trajectory.
2. Momentum Confirmation: Subsequent to trend alignment, the strategy looks for moving average crossovers as a confirmation that the price is gaining momentum in the direction of the intended trades.
3. Signal Finalization: Finally, buy or sell signals are validated using the Parabolic SAR indicator. A long order is validated when the closing price is above the Parabolic SAR dots, and similarly, conditions are reversed for short orders.
4. Risk Management: The strategy institutes a fixed stop-loss at the moving average trendline and a take-profit level determinable by a prefixed risk-reward ratio calculated from the moving average trendline. These parameters are customizable by the users within the strategy settings.
APPLICATION
Designed for assets exhibiting pronounced directional momentum, this strategy aims to capitalize on clear trend movements conducive to achieving set take-profit targets.
As a lagging strategy that waits for multiple confirmatory signals, entry into trades might occasionally lag beyond optimal timing.
Furthermore, in periods of consolidation or sideways movement, the strategy may generate several false signals, suggesting the potential need for additional market condition filters to enhance signal accuracy during volatile phases.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 70%
Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and style.

IsAlgo - AI Trend Strategy► Overview:
The AI Trend Strategy employs a combination of technical indicators to guide trading decisions across various markets and timeframes. It uses a custom Super Trend indicator and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to analyze market trends and executes trades based on specific candlestick patterns. This strategy includes options for setting stop losses, take profit levels, and features an alert system for trade notifications.
► Description:
This strategy focuses on identifying the optimal "entry candle," which signals either a potential correction within the ongoing trend or the emergence of a new trend. The entry criteria for this candle are highly customizable, allowing traders to specify dimensions such as the candle's minimum and maximum size and body ratio. Additional settings include whether this candle should be the highest or lowest compared to recent candles and if a confirmation candle is necessary to validate the entry.
The Super Trend indicator is central to the strategy’s operation, dictating the direction of trades by identifying bullish or bearish trends. Traders have the option to configure trades to align with the direction of the trend identified by this indicator, or alternatively, to take positions counter to the trend for potential reversal strategies. This flexibility can be crucial during varying market conditions.
Additionally, the strategy incorporates an EMA alongside the Super Trend indicator to further analyze trend directions. This combined approach aims to reduce the occurrence of false signals and improve the strategy's overall trend analysis.
The learning algorithm is a standout feature of the AI Trend Strategy. After accumulating data from a predefined number of trades (e.g., after the first 100 trades), the algorithm begins to analyze past performances to identify patterns in wins and losses. It considers variables such as the distance from the current price to the trend line, the range between the highest and lowest prices during the trend, and the duration of the trend. This data informs the algorithm's predictions for future trades, aiming to improve accuracy and reduce losses by adapting to the evolving market conditions.
► Examples of Trade Execution:
1. In an Uptrend: The strategy might detect a suitable entry candle during a correction phase, which aligns with the continuing uptrend for a potential long trade.
2. In a Downtrend: Alternatively, the strategy might identify an entry candle at the end of a downtrend, suggesting a potential reversal or correction where a long trade could be initiated.
3. In an Uptrend: The strategy may also spot an entry candle at the end of an uptrend and execute a short trade, anticipating a reversal or significant pullback.
4. In a Downtrend: The strategy might find a suitable entry candle during a correction phase, indicating a continuation of the downtrend for a potential short trade.
These examples illustrate how the strategy identifies potential trading opportunities based on trend behavior and candlestick patterns.
► Features and Settings:
⚙︎ Trend: Utilizes a custom Super Trend indicator to identify the direction of the market trend. Users can configure the strategy to execute trades in alignment with this trend, take positions contrary to the trend, or completely ignore the trend information for their trading decisions.
⚙︎ Moving average: Employs an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to further confirm the trend direction indicated by the Super Trend indicator. This setting can be used in conjunction with the Super Trend or disabled if preferred.
⚙︎ Entry candle: Defines the criteria for the candle that triggers a trade. Users can customize aspects such as the candle's size, body, and its relative position to previous candles to ensure it meets specific trading requirements before initiating a trade.
⚙︎ Learning algorithm: This component uses historical trade data to refine the strategy. It assesses various aspects of past trades, such as price trends and market conditions, to make more informed trading decisions in the future.
⚙︎ Trading session: Users can define specific trading hours during which the strategy should operate, allowing trades to be executed only during preferred market periods.
⚙︎ Trading days: This option enables users to specify which days the strategy should be active, providing the flexibility to avoid trading on certain days of the week if desired.
⚙︎ Backtesting: Enables a period during which the strategy can be tested over a selected start and end date, with an option to deactivate this feature if not needed.
⚙︎ Trades: Detailed configuration options include the direction of trades (long, short, or both), position sizing (fixed or percentage-based), the maximum number of open trades, and limitations on the number of trades per day or based on trend changes.
⚙︎ Trades Exit: Offers various strategies for exiting trades, such as setting limits on profits or losses, specifying the duration a trade should remain open, or closing trades based on trend reversal signals.
⚙︎ Stop loss: Various methods for setting stop losses are available, including fixed pips, based on Average True Range (ATR), or utilizing the highest or lowest price points within a designated number of previous candles.

Moving average strategyNAME : Moving average strategy
SUMMARY
Long when Short MA period > Long MA period
Exit when Short MA period < Long MA period
Long only strategy, but you can modify this script.
==============================
This strategy uses a moving average line.
It buys when the short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average and sells when the long-term moving average crosses the short-term moving average.
You can use different moving average lines by setting the MA type.
You can use SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, and VWMA.
You can also adjust the period of the moving average line.
Price Type sets the type of price that will be used for the moving average line. The options are Close price, Open price, High price, Low price, Typical price, and center price.
High MDD and long periods of sideways movement make it difficult to use in practice, even though the returns may seem high.
Hopefully, you can combine it with other indicators to create a good strategy.
Thank you.
Alligator + MA Trend Catcher [TradeDots]The "Alligator + MA Trend Catcher" is a trading strategy that integrates the William Alligator indicator with a Moving Average (MA) to establish robust entry and exit conditions, optimized for capturing trends.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy combines the traditional William Alligator set up with an additional Moving Average indicator for enhanced trend confirmation, creating a user-friendly backtesting tool for traders who prefer the Alligator method.
The original Alligator strategy can frequently present fluctuations, even in well-established trends, leading to potentially premature exits. To mitigate this, we incorporate a Moving Average as a secondary confirmation measure to ensure the market trend has indeed shifted.
Here’s the operational flow for long orders:
Entry Signal: When the price rises above the Moving Average, it confirms a bullish market state. Enter if Alligator spread in an upward direction. The trade remains active even if the Alligator indicator suggests a trend reversal.
Exit Signal: The position is closed when the price falls below the Moving Average, and the Alligator spreads in the downward direction. This setup helps traders to maintain positions through the entirety of the trend for maximum gain.
APPLICATION
This strategy is tailored for assets with significant, well-defined trends, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are known for their high volatility and substantial price movements.
This strategy offers a low win-rate but high reward configuration, making asset selection critical for long-term profitability. If you choose assets that lack strong price momentum, there's a high chance that this strategy may not be effective.
For traders seeking to maximize gains from large trends without exiting prematurely, this strategy provides an aggressive yet controlled approach to riding out substantial market waves.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 80%
RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.
Multi Timeframe RSI Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The "Multi Timeframe RSI Buy/Sell Strategy" is a trading strategy that utilizes Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators from multiple timeframes to provide buy and sell signals.
This strategy allows for extensive customization, supporting up to three distinct RSIs, each configurable with its own timeframe, length, and data source.
HOW DOES IT WORK
This strategy integrates up to three RSIs, each selectable from different timeframes and customizable in terms of length and source. Users have the flexibility to define the number of active RSIs. These selections visualize as plotted lines on the chart, enhancing interpretability.
Users can also manage the moving average of the selected RSI lines. When multiple RSIs are active, the moving average is calculated based on these active lines' average value.
The color intensity of the moving average line changes as it approaches predefined buying or selling thresholds, alerting users to potential signal generation.
A buy or sell signal is generated when all active RSI lines simultaneously cross their respective threshold lines. Concurrently, a label will appear on the chart to signify the order placement.
For those preferring not to display order information or activate the strategy, an "Enable backtest" option is provided in the settings for toggling activation.
APPLICATION
The strategy leverages multiple RSIs to detect extreme market conditions across various timeframes without the need for manual timeframe switching.
This feature is invaluable for identifying divergences across timeframes, such as detecting potential short-term reversals within broader trends, thereby aiding traders in making better trading decisions and potentially avoiding losses.
DEFAULT SETUP

Trend Crawler with Dynamic TP and Trailing Stop### Description of "Trend Crawler with Dynamic TP and Trailing Stop"
#### Overview
The "Trend Crawler with Dynamic TP and Trailing Stop" is a comprehensive trading strategy designed for medium-frequency trading on various timeframes and markets. It utilizes a combination of trend identification and volatility analysis to determine optimal entry and exit points, aiming to maximize profitability by adapting to changing market conditions.
#### Strategy Mechanics
1. **Moving Averages**: Users can select between Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to define the trend. The strategy uses two moving averages (fast and slow) to identify the trend direction. A crossover of the fast MA above the slow MA signals a potential bullish trend, while a crossunder signals a bearish trend.
2. **Volume Analysis**: The strategy incorporates volume analysis to confirm the strength of the trend. It calculates a standard deviation of volume from its moving average to detect significant increases in trading activity, which supports the trend direction indicated by the MAs.
3. **Price Spread and RSI**: It uses the price spread (difference between the close and open of each bar) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to filter entries based on market momentum and overbought/oversold conditions. This helps in refining the entries to avoid weak or overly extended moves.
4. **Dynamic Take Profit and Trailing Stop**:
- **Trailing Stop**: As the position moves into profit, the strategy adjusts the stop loss dynamically to protect gains, using a trailing stop mechanism.
- **Dynamic Take Profit**: The take profit levels are adjusted based on the volatility (measured by the standard deviation of the price spread) to capture maximum profit from significant moves.
#### Usage
To use the strategy:
- Set the desired moving average type and lengths according to the asset and timeframe being traded.
- Adjust the RSI thresholds to match the market's volatility and trading style.
- Set the base take profit and stop loss levels along with the trailing stop distance based on risk tolerance and trading objectives.
#### Justification for Originality
While the use of moving averages, RSI, and volume analysis may be common, the integration of these elements with dynamic adjustments for take profit and trailing stops based on real-time volatility analysis offers a unique approach. The strategy adapts not just to trend direction but also to the market's momentum and volatility, providing a tailored trading solution that goes beyond standard indicator-based strategies.
#### Strategy Results and Settings
Backtesting should be conducted with realistic account sizes and include considerations for commission and slippage to ensure that the results are not misleading. Risk per trade should be kept within a sustainable range (ideally less than 5% of account equity), and the strategy should be tested over a sufficient sample size (at least 100 trades) to validate its effectiveness.
#### Chart Presentation
The script’s output includes:
- Colored backgrounds to indicate bullish or bearish market conditions.
- Plots of trailing stops to visually manage risk.
- Entry points are marked with shapes on the chart, providing clear visual cues for trading decisions.
#### Conclusion
This strategy offers traders a robust framework for trend following with enhanced risk management through dynamic adjustments based on real-time market analysis. It's designed to be versatile and adaptable to a wide range of markets and trading styles, providing traders with a tool that not only follows trends but also adapts to market changes to secure profits and reduce losses.
Price Based Z-Trend - Strategy [presentTrading]█ Introduction and How it is Different
Z-score: a statistical measurement of a score's relationship to the mean in a group of scores.
Simple but effective approach.
The "Price Based Z-Trend - Strategy " leverages the Z-score, a statistical measure that gauges the deviation of a price from its moving average, normalized against its standard deviation. This strategy stands out due to its simplicity and effectiveness, particularly in markets where price movements often revert to a mean. Unlike more complex systems that might rely on a multitude of indicators, the Z-Trend strategy focuses on clear, statistically significant price movements, making it ideal for traders who prefer a streamlined, data-driven approach.
BTCUSD 6h LS Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Calculation of the Z-score
"Z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. Z-score is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean."
The Z-score is central to this strategy. It is calculated by taking the difference between the current price and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price over a user-defined length, then dividing this by the standard deviation of the price over the same length:
z = (x - μ) /σ
Local
🔶 Trading Signals
Trading signals are generated based on the Z-score crossing predefined thresholds:
- Long Entry: When the Z-score crosses above the positive threshold.
- Long Exit: When the Z-score falls below the negative threshold.
- Short Entry: When the Z-score falls below the negative threshold.
- Short Exit: When the Z-score rises above the positive threshold.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows users to select their preferred trading direction through an input option.
█ Usage
To use this strategy effectively, traders should first configure the Z-score thresholds according to their risk tolerance and market volatility. It's also crucial to adjust the length for the EMA and standard deviation calculations based on historical performance and the expected "noise" in price data.
The strategy is designed to be flexible, allowing traders to refine settings to better capture profitable opportunities in specific market conditions.
█ Default Settings
- Trade Direction: Both
- Standard Deviation Length: 100
- Average Length: 100
- Threshold for Z-score: 1.0
- Bar Color Indicator: Enabled
These settings offer a balanced starting point but can be customized to suit various trading styles and market environments. The strategy's parameters are designed to be adjusted as traders gain experience and refine their approach based on ongoing market analysis.
Z-score is a must-learn approach for every algorithmic trader.
Pullback_Power [JackTz]Welcome to Pullback_Power
Pullback_Power is a scalping strategy designed to capitalize on market retracements while incorporating unique dynamic features to enhance profitability.
Calculation
Pullback_Power purely uses moving averages to calculate both entry and exits. Exits can also be set to fixed percentages for both take profit and stop loss.
How the Strategy Works
Statistics show that markets normally do a recovery after each drop. Crypto markets can easily drop up to 20% within a few hours and then do a complete or partial recovery. Pullback_Power utilizes this known pattern alongside pyramiding. The strategy aims to catch one or more entries when the price drops, hoping to make profits when the market recovers from the drop. The fixed take profit and stop loss can be used to define your risk management, while the dynamic exit opportunity is riskier but provides the ability to stay in the trade longer while it recovers. Pullback_Power can make up to four entries. This means it utilizes pyramiding to spread out the entry points, but every exit is a full exit. It is not possible to partially exit.
Utility
Pullback_Power is a scalping strategy suitable for traders who operate with small trades and don't want to stay in the market for too long. Pullback_Power offers precise signals with no repainting. The strategy thrives in volatility, so crypto pairs might yield the best results, although this strategy can be adapted to work on all pairs and markets.
How to Automate It
Pullback_Power utilizes the standard placeholders of strategies on TradingView. This enables the trader to add every data point into a webhook, making it fully flexible to suit every trader's needs. To automate, create an alert, set the webhook URL, and add the JSON body needed for the webhook. An example of a simple JSON webhook with some of the standard strategy placeholders:
{
"side": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"symbol": "{{ticker}}",
"amount": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}"
}
Read about all the standard placeholders that you can use here: TradingView - Standard strategy placeholders
Originality
Pullback_Power is unique in its ability to create precise signals without repainting while maintaining a solid approach to the pullback strategy. Its simplicity not only makes the strategy easy to use and understand but also highly effective. The simplicity reduces inputs, eliminating overfitting and limits each input to avoid incorrect usage. Many times, default settings are enough to achieve good backtesting results on almost all pairs available. Pullback_Power also differs from many other strategies by its solid code, which enhances performance and provides more reliable backtesting. The clean code increases the resilience and precision of the entries, making it less prone to errors.
Many pullback/scalping strategies normally only works on specific scopes of timeframes or pairs. Pullback_Power can easily be adapted to work on almost every scenario. The biggest change needed is the length of the moving average. The lower the timeframe, the higher a length is needed for proper results. I.e. on a 2H timeframe a length of 3 can yield good results. On a 5min timeframe the length might need to be as high as 70.
How to Use
To use Pullback_Power, add the script to your trading chart. By default, Pullback_Power opens four orders to optimize trade opportunities with a default fee value set at 0.1%. You can change these default settings in the Settings window under the Properties tab. To tailor Pullback_Power to your individual trading style, navigate to the Settings under the Input tab. Here you can configure various inputs to fit your trading style.
- Backtest settings , Start Date:
Defines the date of when the calculation starts. Use this to set the date of when the first trade could potentially emit.
- Backtest settings , End Date:
Defines the date of when the calculation ends. If there are any open trades after this date the close calculations are still live. It only makes sure that new orders cannot be opened after this date.
- Backtest settings , Only trade on weekdays:
This is a toggle you can enable or disable. If enabled it only allows new entries to happen during the normal week days, meaning Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Disable this to enable the script to open trades on all 7 days of the week.
- Open settings , Use dynamic long positions:
This toggle allows you to enable or disable the pullback level calculations after first trade.
If enabled, the calculations of level 2, 3 and 4 continues to happen after each bar, making the levels follow the price with the moving averages calculations.
If disabled, the calculations of the levels stop after the first trade. This means that the levels calculation at the point of the first trade stay fixed until all trades are closed.
You can see the difference of the green lines on the chart when you toggle this flag.
- Open settings , Data type:
This is the bar data used for the moving average calculation when opening trades. The possible data types are Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4, OC2 and HC2.
- Open settings , Source type:
This is the source used to calculate the moving average. The types available are: SMA, PCMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, ZLEMA and HMA.
- Open settings , Length:
This is the length used for the moving average calculations. 3 means it takes the last 3 bars of historical data for the calculation.
- Open settings , Offset:
This defines if the calculation should use an offset for the historical data. This does not use a look-forward feature, but a look-backward feature. To prevent any possible repaints the offset can only be positive, not negative.
For instance, if the length is 3 and the offset is 0 the calculation is made from the last 3 bars, making it bar1, bar2 and bar3. If the length is 3 and the offset is 1 the calculation is made from bar2, bar3, and bar4 – offsetting the calculation by 1 bar.
- Leverage settings , Leverage liquidation (1-125):
The script itself does not handle any custom leverage calculation – this must be done in the Properties tabs and increasing the order size.
This setting is made to test a possible liquidation event if using leverage.
By setting this to higher than 1, a red line is visible after the first trade on the chart. This indicates the liquidation price.
If this setting is set to 25, the script will calculate the liquidation price from a x25 leverage. If this price is hit, the scripts stops emitting any orders and the background turns red.
You can use this to test if your settings could handle a certain level of leverage.
- Pullback settings , Pullback 1, 2, 3 and 4:
Each of these settings defines the entry price of each pullback level. If Pullback 1 is set to -6 it means that the moving average calculation should be 6% lower than the actual price.
The same logic applies to Pullback 2, 3 and 4.
Setting any level to 0 will disable the level – eliminating any orders to emit on that level.
This can be used to change the level of pyramiding down from 4 if needed.
If you do this, remember to also change the order size and the pyramiding value in the Properties tab accordingly.
- Close settings , Use dynamic TP and SL:
If enabled, script will exit all orders using the same but separate algorithm for moving averages. This enables the user to define if you want the orders to be closed if the price level of this moving average is hit. The price level for this calculation is visible on the chart by the blue line.
Although you can change the length and offset, as described underneath, this calculation uses the same data and source type defined in the Open settings area.
- Close settings , Length, Close:
This is the length used for the closing moving average calculations. 3 means it takes the last 3 bars of historical data for the calculation.
- Close settings , Offset, Close:
This defines if the calculation for the closing moving average should use an offset for the historical data. Just as the offset used for opening order, this does not use a look-forward feature, but a look-backward feature. To prevent any possible repaints the offset can only be positive, not negative.
For instance, if the length is 3 and the offset is 0 the calculation is made from the last 3 bars, making it bar1, bar2 and bar3. If the length is 3 and the offset is 1 the calculation is made from bar2, bar3, and bar4 – offsetting the calculation by 1 bar.
- Close settings , Use TakeProfit:
This toggle enables/disables a fixed take profit percentage.
- Close settings , TP %:
This sets the wanted % to reach on a take profit. This setting is ignored if the toggle above is disabled.
- Close settings , Use StopLoss:
This toggle enables/disables a fixed stop loss percentage.
- Close settings , SL %:
This sets the wanted % to reach on a stop loss. This setting is ignored if the toggle above is disabled.
Exit on Same Bar as Entry
By default, the script doesn't emit any exit orders on the same bar as the first entry order. Enable "Recalculation: After order is filled" to change this behavior.
Troubleshooting
While Pullback_Power is designed to provide reliable trading signals, you may encounter rare issues. One such issue could be receiving an error message stating "can't open orders with 0 or negative qty." If you encounter this error, it is likely due to specific conditions on the selected timeframe. To resolve this issue, change the timeframe on your trading chart.
Underlying Principles and Value Proposition
Pullback_Power leverages moving averages and volatility behavior to identify market retracements and capitalize on them. The strategy is rooted in the understanding that markets often experience temporary reversals or "pullbacks" before resuming their primary trend. By identifying these pullbacks and entering trades at opportune moments, Pullback_Power aims to capture quick profits from short-term market movements.
The dynamic and fixed calculations of Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels enhances risk management, ensuring that potential losses are controlled while allowing room for profits to grow. The adaptive approach using the moving averages considers current market conditions, making the strategy flexible and responsive to changing volatility.
Moreover, Pullback_Power's non-repainting nature ensures the reliability of its signals, eliminating hindsight bias and providing traders with actionable insights based on real-time market data.
The strategy's simplicity and effectiveness make it accessible for traders of all experience levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to start scalping or an experienced trader seeking to diversify your trading approach, Pullback_Power offers a balanced blend of simplicity and sophistication to help you navigate the markets with confidence.
By focusing on clear, transparent principles and offering practical tools for risk management, Pullback_Power aims to provide tangible value to traders, empowering them to make informed decisions and optimize their trading outcomes.
Thank you for choosing Pullback_Power. I wish you successful trading!
Strategy Container_Variable Pyramiding & Leverage [Tradingwhale]This is a strategy container . It doesn’t provide a trading strategy. What it does is provide functionality that is not readily available with standard strategy ’shells.’
More specifically, this Strategy Container enables Tradingview users to create trading strategies without knowing any Pine Script code .
Furthermore, you can use most indicators on tradingview to build a strategy without any coding at all, whether or not you have access to the code.
To illustrate a possible output in the image (buy and sell orders) of this strategy container, we are using here an indicator that provides buy and sell signals, only for illustration purposes. Again, this is a strategy container, not a strategy. So we need to include an indicator with this published strategy to be able to show the strategy execution.
What can you do with this strategy container? Please read below.
Trade Direction
You can select to trade Long trades only, Short trades only, or both, assuming that whatever strategy you create with this container will produce buy and sell signals.
Exit on Opposite
You can select if Long signals cause the exit of Short positions and vice versa. If you turn this on, then a sell/short signal will cause the closing of your entire long position, and a buy/long signal will cause the closing of your entire short position.
Use external data sources (indicators) to (a) import signals, or (b) create trading signals using almost any of the indicators available on Tradingview.
Option 1:
When you check the box ‘Use external indicator Buy & Sell signals?’ and continue to select an external indicator that plots LONG/BUY signals as value '1' and SHORT/SELL signals as value '-1, then this strategy container will use those signals for the strategy, in combination with all other available settings.
Here an example of code in an indicator that you could use to import signals with this strategy container:
buy = long_cond and barstate.isconfirmed
sell = short_cond and barstate.isconfirmed
//—------- Signal for Strategy
signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(plot_connector? signal : na, title="OMEGA Signals", display = display.none)
Option 2:
You can create buy/long and sell/short signals from within this strategy container under the sections called “ Define 'LONG' Signal ” and “ Define 'SHORT' Signal .”
You can do this with a single external indicator, by comparing two external indicators, or by comparing one external indicator with a fixed value. The indicator/s you use need to be on the same chart as this strategy container. You can add up to two (2) external indicators that can be compared to each other at a time. A checkbox allows you to select whether the logical operation is executed between Source #1 and #2, between Source # 1 and an absolute value, or just by analyzing the behavior of Source #1.
Without an image of the strategy container settings it’s a bit hard to explain. However, below you see a list of all possible operations.
Operations available , whenever possible based on source data, include:
- "crossing"
- "crossing up"
- "crossing down"
- "rejected from resistance (Source #1) in the last bar", which means ‘High’ was above Source #1 (resistance level) in the last completed bar and 'Close' (current price of the symbol) is now below Source #1" (resistance level).
- "rejected from resistance (Source #1) in the last 2 bars", which means ‘High’ was above Source #1 (resistance level) in one of the last two (2) completed bars and 'Close' (current price of the symbol) is now below Source #1" (resistance level).
- "rejected from support (Source #1) in the last bar" --- similar to above except with Lows and rejection from support level
- "rejected from support (Source #1) in the last 2 bars" --- similar to above except with Lows and rejection from support level
- "greater than"
- "less than"
- "is up"
- "is down"
- "is up %"
- "is down %"
Variable Pyramiding, Leverage, and Pyramiding Direction
Variable Pyramiding
With this strategy container, you can define how much capital you want to invest for three consecutive trades in the same direction (pyramiding). You can define what percentage of your equity you want to invest for each pyramid-trade separately, which means they don’t have to be identical.
As an example: You can invest 5% in the first trade let’s call this pyramid trade #0), 10% in the second trade (pyramid trade #1), and 7% in the third trade (pyramid trade #2), or any other combination. If your trading strategy doesn’t produce pyramid trading opportunities (consecutive trades in the same direction), then the pyramid trade settings won’t come to bear for the second and third trades, because only the first trade will be executed with each signal.
Leverage
You can enter numbers for the three pyramid trades that are combined greater than 100%. Once that is the case, you are using leverage in your trades and have to manage the risk that is associated with that.
Pyramiding Direction
You can decide to scale only into Winners, Losers, or Both. Pyramid into a:
- Losers : A losing streak occurs when the price of the underlying security at the current signal is lower than the average cost of the position.
- Winners : A winning streak occurs when the price of the underlying security at the current signal is higher than the average cost of the position.
- Both means that you are selecting to scale/pyramid into both Winning and Losing streaks.
Other Inputs that influence signal execution:
You can choose to turn these on or off.
1. Limit Long exits with a WMA to stay longer in Long positions: If you check this box and enter a Length number (integer) for the WMA (Weighted Moving Average), then Long positions can only be exited with short signals when the current WMA is lower than on the previous bar/candle. Short signals sometimes increase with uptrends. We’re using this WMA here to limit short signals by adding another condition (WMA going down) for the short signal to be valid.
2. Maximum length of trades in the number of candles. Positions that have been in place for the specified number of trades are excited automatically.
3. Set the backtest period (from-to). Only trades within this range will be executed.
4. Market Volatility Adjustment Settings
- Use ATR to limit when Long trades can be entered (enter ATR length and Offset). We’re using the 3-day ATR here, with your entries for ATR length and offset. When the 3-day ATR is below its signal line, then Long trades are enabled; otherwise, they are not.
- Use VIX to limit when Short trades can be entered (enter VIX). If you select this checkbox, then Short trades will only be executed if the daily VIX is above your set value.
- Use Momentum Algo functions to limit Short trades. This uses the average distance of Momentum Highs and Lows over the lookback period to gauge whether markets are calm or swinging more profoundly. Based on that you can limit short entries to more volatile market regimes.
Set:
- Fast EMA and Slow EMA period lengths
- Number of left and right candles for High and Low pivots
- Lookback period to calculate the High/Low average and then the distance between the two.
The assumption here is that greater distances between momentum highs and lows correlate positively with greater volatility and greater swings in the underlying security.
Stop-Loss
Set separate stop-losses based on % for Long and Short positions. If the position loses X% since entry, then the position will be closed.
Take-Profit
Set separate take-profit levels based on % for Long and Short positions. If the position wins X% since entry, then the position will be closed.
GM-8 and ADX Strategy with Second EMADescription:
This TradingView script implements a trading strategy based on the Moving Average (GM-8), the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the second Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The strategy utilizes these indicators to identify potential buy and sell signals on the chart.
Indicators:
GM-8 (Moving Average 8): This indicator calculates the average price of the last 8 periods and is used to identify trends.
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX measures the strength of a trend and is used to determine whether the market is moving in a particular direction or not.
Second EMA (Exponential Moving Average): This is an additional EMA line with a period of 59, which is used to provide additional confirmation signals for the trend.
Trading Conditions:
Buy Condition: A buy signal is generated when the closing price is above the GM-8 and the second EMA, and the ADX value is above the specified threshold.
Sell Condition: A sell signal is generated when the closing price is below the GM-8 and the second EMA, and the ADX value is above the specified threshold.
Trading Logic:
If a buy condition is met, a long position is opened with a user-defined lot size.
If a sell condition is met, a short position is opened with the same user-defined lot size.
Positions are closed when the opposite conditions are met.
User Parameters:
Users can adjust the periods for the GM-8, the second EMA, and the ADX, as well as the threshold for the ADX and the lot size according to their preferences.
Note:
This script has been developed for use on a $100,000 account with FTMO, therefore the account size is set to $100,000. Please ensure that the strategy parameters and settings meet the requirements of your trading strategy and carefully review the results before committing real capital.

II. Algorithmic Trading
Thinking of trading as a manual game? Think again! Manual trading is a bit like rolling the dice - fun, but kind of risky if you're aiming for consistent wins. Instead, why not lean into the future with algorithmic trading? It's all about trusting the market's rhythm over the long term. By integrating your strategy with a trading bot, you can enjoy peace of mind, rest easy, and keep those emotional trades at bay.
III) Applications
Dive into the Advanced Trend Strategy, your versatile tool for navigating the market's waters. This strategy shines in under an hour timeframes, offering adaptability across stocks, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Initially fine-tuned for low-volatility cryptos like BINANCE:BTCUSDT , its default settings are a solid starting point.
But here's where your expertise comes into play. Each market beats to its own drum, necessitating nuanced adjustments to stop loss and take profit settings. This customization is key to maximizing the strategy's effectiveness in your chosen arena.
IV) Strategy's Logic
The Advanced Trend Strategy is a powerhouse, blending the precision of Hull Suite, RSI, and our unique trend detector technique. At its core, it’s designed for savvy risk management, aiming to lock in substantial profits while steering clear of minor market ripples. It utilizes stop-loss and take-profit thresholds to form a profit channel, providing a safety net for each trade. This is a trend-following strategy at heart, where these profit channels play a critical role in maximizing returns by securing positions within these "warranty channels."
1. Trend-Following
The market's complexity, influenced by countless factors, makes small movements seem almost chaotic. Yet, the principle of #Trend-Following shines in less volatile markets in long term. The strategy excels by pinpointing the ideal moments to enter the market, coupled with refined risk management to secure profits. It’s tailored for you, the individual trader, enabling you to ride the waves of market trends upwards or downwards.
2. Risk Management
A key facet of the strategy is its emphasis on pragmatic risk management. Traders are empowered to establish practical stop-loss and take-profit levels, tailoring these crucial parameters to the specific market they are engaging in. This customization is instrumental in optimizing long-term profitability, ensuring that the strategy adapts fluidly to the unique characteristics and volatility patterns of different trading environments.
V) Strategy's Input Settings and Default Values
1. Alerts
The strategy comes equipped with a flexible alert system designed to keep you informed and ready to act. Within the settings, you’ll find options to configure order/exit and comment/alert messages to your preference. This feature is particularly useful for staying on top of the strategy’s activities without constant manual oversight.
2. Hull Suite
i. Hull Suite Length: Designed for capturing long-term trends, the Hull Suite Length is configured at 1000. Functioning comparably to moving averages, the Hull Suite features upper and lower bands. Currently, it is set to 1000.
ii. Length Multiplier: It's advisable to maintain a minimal value for the Length Multiplier, prioritizing the optimization of the Hull Suite Length. Presently, it is set to 1.
3. RSI Indicator
i. The RSI is a widely recognized tool in trading. Adapt the oversold and overbought thresholds to better match the specifics of your market for optimal results.
4. StopLoss and TakeProfit
i. StopLoss and TakeProfit Settings: Two distinct approaches are available. Semi-Automatic StopLoss/TakeProfit Setting and Manual StopLoss/TakeProfit Setting. The Semi-Automatic mode streamlines the process by allowing you to input values for a 5-minute timeframe, subsequently auto-adjusting these values across various timeframes, both lower and higher. Conversely, the Manual mode offers full control, enabling you to meticulously define TakeProfit values for each individual timeframe.
ii. TakeProfit Threshold # and TakeProfit Value #: Imagine this mechanism as an ascending staircase. Each step represents a range, with the lower boundary (TakeProfit Value) designed to close the trade upon being reached, and the upper boundary (TakeProfit Threshold) upon being hit, propelling the trade to the next level, and forming a new range. This stair-stepping approach enhances risk management and increases profitability. The pre-set configurations are tailored for $BINANCE:BTCUSDT. It's advisable to devote time to tailoring these settings to your specific market, aiming to achieve optimal results based on backtesting.
iii. StopLoss Value: In line with its name, this value marks the limit of loss you're prepared to accept should the market trend go against your expectations. It's crucial to note that once your asset reaches the first TakeProfit range, the initial StopLoss value becomes obsolete, supplanted by the first TakeProfit Value. The default StopLoss value is pegged at 1.6(%), a figure worth considering in your trading strategy.
VI) Entry Conditions
The primary signal for entry is generated by our custom trend detection mechanism and hull suite values (ascending/descending). This is supported by additional indicators acting as confirmation.
VII) Exit Conditions
The strategy stipulates exit conditions primarily governed by stop loss and take profit parameters. On infrequent occasions, if the trend lacks confirmation post-entry, the strategy mandates an exit upon the issuance of a reverse signal (whether confirmed or unconfirmed) by the strategy itself.
