VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6 - AdvancedThese are a few updates made to the original script. The daily take profit and stop loss functions correctly for 1 contract but because of the pyramiding input even if not used you'll need to multiply the values by the number of contracts to keep consistent results. I have been unable to correct that function. Let me know if you test the script and have any recommendations for improvement. If trading an actual account I do recommend setting hard daily limits with your provider because there is still slippage from the original exit alerts even with the daily stop loss in place. 1. Real-Time Execution & Hard PnL Limits (The Focus) The most critical changes were implemented to ensure the daily profit and loss limits act as hard, real-time barriers instead of waiting for the candle to close. • Intrabar Tick Execution: The parameter calc_on_every_tick=true was added to the strategy() declaration. This forces the entire script to re-evaluate its logic on every single price update (tick), enabling immediate action. • Real-Time PnL Tracking: The PnL calculation was updated to track the total_daily_pnl by summing the realized profit/loss (from closed trades) and the unrealized profit/loss (strategy.openprofit) on every tick. • Immediate Closure: The script now checks the total_daily_pnl against the user-defined limits (daily_take_profit_value, daily_stop_loss_value) and immediately executes strategy.close_all() the moment the threshold is breached, preventing further trading. • Combined Risk Enforcement: The user-defined "Max Intraday Risk ($)" and the "Daily Stop Loss (Value)" are compared, and the script enforces the tighter of the two limits. 2. Visibility and External Alerting To address the unavoidable issue of slippage (which causes price overshoot in fast markets even with tick execution), dedicated alert mechanisms were added. • Dedicated Alert Condition: An alertcondition named DAILY PNL LIMIT REACHED was added. This allows you to set up a TradingView alert that triggers the instant the daily_limit_reached variable turns true, giving you the fastest possible notification. • Visual Marker: A large red triangle (\u25b2) is plotted on the chart using plotchar at the exact moment the daily limit condition is met, providing a clear visual confirmation of the trigger bar. 3. Strategy Features and Input Flexibility Several user-requested features were integrated to make the strategy more robust and customizable. • Trailing Stop / Breakeven (TSL/BE): A new exit option, Fixed Ticks + TSL, was added, allowing you to set a fixed profit target while also deploying a trailing stop or breakeven level based on points/ticks gained. • Multiple Exit Types: The exit strategy was expanded to include logic for several types: Fixed Ticks, ATR-based, Capped ATR-based, VWAP Cross, and Price/Band Crosses. • Pyramiding Control: An input Max Pyramiding Entries was introduced to control how many positions the strategy can have open at the same time. • Confirmation Logic Toggle: Added an input to choose how multiple confirmation indicators (RSI, SMMA, MACD) are combined: "AND" (all must be true) or "OR" (at least one must be true). • Indicator Confirmations: Logic for three external indicators—RSI, SMMA (EMA), and MACD—was fully integrated to act as optional filters for entry. • VWAP Reset Anchors: Logic was corrected to properly reset the VWAP calculation based on the selected period ("Daily", "Weekly", or "Session") by using Pine Script v6's required anchor series. Trading Day Filters: Inputs were added to select which specific days of the week the strategy is allowed to trade.

Gold H1 Breakout Failure (V11.0)This strategy is designed for trading XAU/USD (Gold) on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies and trades fake breakouts of the Asian session range. The logic is simple yet effective: The script first marks the Asian session high and low. Once price breaks out of this range and closes outside, it waits for confirmation by watching for price to close back inside the range. When this re-entry occurs, the strategy takes a position in the opposite direction of the initial breakout, anticipating a false breakout or liquidity trap setup. By focusing on these fakeouts, the strategy aims to capture reversal momentum after liquidity sweeps, making it especially effective during sessions when volatility transitions from Asia to London or New York.

PriceAction & Economic StrategyThis indicator combines price-action logic with macroeconomic data to generate trading signals. Features: - Price-action signals: A bullish signal occurs when a candle closes above its open; a bearish signal occurs when a candle closes below its open. - Signal gap: The indicator includes an input called "Signal Gap (bars)" that defines the minimum number of bars between signals. By default the gap is set to 3, but you can adjust this between 1 and 10 to control signal frequency. - Alerts: The script defines alert conditions for long and short signals, allowing you to create TradingView alerts that notify you when a new signal occurs. - Economic data: The script uses TradingView's built-in `request.economic()` function to request U.S. GDP data. The GDP series is plotted in the Data Window for additional macroeconomic context. How to use: 1. Add the indicator to a chart. 2. Open the indicator's settings and adjust the "Signal Gap (bars)" input to set the minimum bar gap between signals. 3. Look for green triangles plotted below the bars (bullish signals) and red triangles plotted above the bars (bearish signals). These appear only when the gap criterion is met. 4. If you want alerts, click the Alert button in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose either the Long or Short alert conditions. 5. To view the GDP data, open the Data Window; the GDP value will be shown alongside other series for each bar. 6. Use these signals in combination with your own analysis; this indicator is for educational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.

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.

Trend Pullback System```{"variant":"standard","id":"36492","title":"Trend Pullback System Description"} Trend Pullback System is a price-action trend continuation model that looks to enter on pullbacks, not breakouts. It’s designed to find high-quality long/short entries inside an already established trend, place the stop at meaningful structure, trail that stop as structure evolves, and warn you when the trade thesis is no longer valid. Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi --------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS --------------------------------- 1. Trend Detection • The strategy defines overall bias using moving averages. • Bullish environment (“uptrend”): price above the slower MA, fast MA above slow MA, and the slow MA is sloping up. • Bearish environment (“downtrend”): price below the slower MA, fast MA below slow MA, and the slow MA is sloping down. This prevents trading against chop and focuses on continuation moves in the dominant direction. 2. Pullback + Re-entry Logic • The script waits for price to pull back into structure (support in an uptrend, resistance in a downtrend), and then push back in the direction of the main trend. • That “push back” is the setup trigger. We don’t chase the first breakout candle — we buy/sell the retest + resume. 3. Structural Levels (“Diamonds”) • Green diamond (below bar): bullish pivot low formed while the trend is bullish. This marks defended support. - Use it as a re-entry zone for longs. - Use it to trail a stop higher when you’re already long. - Shorts can take profit here because buyers stepped in. • Red diamond (above bar): bearish pivot high formed while the trend is bearish. This marks defended resistance. - Use it as a re-entry zone for shorts. - Use it to trail a stop lower when you’re already short. - Longs can take profit here because sellers stepped in. 4. Entry Signals • BUY arrow (green triangle up under the candle, text like “BUY” / “BUY Zone”): - LongSetup is true. - Trend is bullish or turning bullish. - Price just bounced off recent defended support (green diamond) and reclaimed short-term momentum. Meaning: enter long here or cover/exit shorts. • SELL arrow (red triangle down above the candle): - ShortSetup is true. - Trend is bearish or turning bearish. - Price just rolled down from defended resistance (red diamond) and lost short-term momentum. Meaning: enter short here or take profit on longs. These are the primary trade entries. They are meant to be actionable. 5. Weak Setups (“W” in yellow) • Yellow triangle with “W”: - A possible long/short idea is trying to form, BUT the higher-timeframe confirmation is not fully there yet. - Think of it as early pressure / early caution, not a full signal. • You usually watch these areas rather than jumping in immediately. 6. Exit Warning (orange “EXIT” label above a bar) • The strategy will raise an EXIT marker when you’re in a trade and the *opposite* side just produced a confirmed setup. - You’re short and a valid longSetup appears → EXIT. - You’re long and a valid shortSetup appears → EXIT. • This is basically: “Close or reduce — the other side just took control.” • It’s not just a trailing stop hit; it’s a regime flip warning. 7. Stop, Target, and Trailing • On every new setup, the script records: - Initial stop: recent swing beyond the defended level (below support for longs, above resistance for shorts). - Initial target: recent opposing swing. • While you’re in position, if new confirming diamonds print in your favor, the stop can trail toward the new defended level. • This creates structure-based risk management (not just fixed % or ATR). 8. Reference Levels • The strategy also plots prior higher-timeframe closes (last week’s close, last month’s close, last year’s close). These can behave as magnets or stall points. • They’re helpful for take-profit timing and for reading “are we trading above or below last month’s close?” 9. Momentum Panel (hidden by default) • Internally, the script calculates an SMI-style momentum oscillator with overbought/oversold zones. • This is optional visual confirmation and does not drive the core entry/exit logic. --------------------------------- WHAT A TRADE LOOKS LIKE IN REAL PRICE ACTION --------------------------------- Early warning • Yellow W + red diamonds + red down arrows = “This is getting weak. Short setups are here.” • You may also see something like “My Short Entry Id.” That’s where the short side actually engages. Bearish follow-through, then exhaustion • Price bleeds down. • Then the orange EXIT appears. → Translation: “If you’re still short, close it. Buyers are stepping in hard. Risk of reversal is now high.” Regime flip • Right after EXIT, multiple green BUY arrows fire together (“BUY”, “BUYZone”). • That’s the true long trigger. → This is where you either enter long or flip from short to long. Expansion leg • After that flip, price rips up for multiple candles / days / weeks. • While it runs: - Green diamonds appear under pullbacks → “dip buy zones / trail stop up here.” - More BUY arrows show on minor pullbacks → continuation long / scale adds. Distribution / topping • Later, you start seeing new yellow W triangles again near local highs. That’s your “careful, this might be topping” warning. • You finally get a hard red candle, and green diamonds stop stacking. → That’s where you tighten risk, scale out, or assume the move is mature. In plain terms, the model is doing the following for you: • It puts you short during weakness. • It tells you when to get OUT of the short. • It flips you long right as control changes. • It gives you a structure-based trail the whole way up. • It warns you again when momentum at the top starts cracking. That is exactly how the logic was designed. --------------------------------- QUICK INTERPRETATION CHEAT SHEET --------------------------------- 🔻 Red triangle + “Short Entry” near a red diamond → Short entry zone (or take profit on a long). 🟥 Red diamond above bar → Sellers defended here. Treat it as resistance. Good place to trail short stops just above that level. Avoid chasing longs straight into it. 🟨 Yellow W → Attention only. Early pressure / possible turn. Not fully confirmed. 🟧 EXIT (orange label) → The opposite side just printed a real setup. Close the old idea (cover shorts if you’re short, exit longs if you’re long). Thesis invalid. 🟩 Burst of green BUY triangles after EXIT → Long entry. Also a “cover shorts now” alert. This is the core money entry in bullish reversals. 💎 Green diamond below bar → Bulls defended that level. Good for trailing your long stop up, and good “buy the dip in trend” locations. 📈 Blue / teal MAs stacked and rising → Confirmed bullish structure. You’re in trend continuation mode, so dips are opportunities, not automatic exits. --------------------------------- COLOR / SHAPE KEY --------------------------------- • Green triangle up (“BUY”, “BUY Zone”): Long entry / cover shorts / continuation long trigger. • Red triangle down: Short entry / take profit on longs / continuation short trigger. • Orange “EXIT” label: Opposite side just fired a real setup. The previous trade thesis is now invalid. • Green diamond below price: Bullish defended support in an uptrend. Use for dip buys, trailing stops on longs, and objective cover zones for shorts. • Red diamond above price: Bearish defended resistance in a downtrend. Use for re-entry shorts, trailing stops on shorts, and objective scale-out zones for longs. • Yellow “W”: Weak / early potential setup. Watch it, don’t blindly trust it. • Moving average bands (fast MA, slow MA, Hull MA): When stacked and rising, bullish control. When stacked and falling, bearish control. --------------------------------- INTENT --------------------------------- This system is built to: • Trade with momentum, not against it. • Enter on pullbacks into proven structure, not chase stretched breakouts. • Automate stop/target logic around actual defended swing levels. • Warn you when the other side takes over so you don’t give back gains. Typical usage: 1. In an uptrend, wait for price to pull back, print a green diamond (support proved), then take the first BUY arrow that fires. 2. In a downtrend, wait for a bounce into resistance, print a red diamond (sellers proved), then take the first SELL arrow that fires. 3. Respect EXIT when it appears — that’s the model saying “this trade is done.” --------------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- This script is for educational and research purposes only.

Iriza4 -DAX EMA+HULL+ADX TP40 SL205 MIN SKALP. Additional filters improve accuracy: the strategy blocks trades after too many consecutive bullish or bearish candles (streak filter) and ignores signals when price is too far from the EMA (measured by ATR distance). Each position uses a fixed risk-to-reward ratio of 1 : 2 with clear stop-loss and take-profit targets, without partial exits or breakevens. The goal is to identify clean pullbacks inside strong trends and filter out late or exhausted entries

Trendline Breakout Strategy Strategy should place entries & exits so that it can be backtested (use strategy.entry and strategy.exit with explicit stop and limit prices). Include an option for fixed percent position sizing and an option for fixed contract size. Draw the trendline on the chart (with option to hide/show) and add labels that show: bias (Bull/Bear), trendline slope, entry price, SL, TP and the reason (e.g., "Trendline Breakout"). Provide user inputs for: EMA length (default 200), lookback for pivot detection, pivot sensitivity (left/right bars), quantity mode (percent / contracts), risk percent or fixed size, enable/disable backtest prints, and enable alerts. Avoid repainting: use confirmed pivot logic (pivot detection must use completed bars) and only take entry after breakout confirmed on close. Document any limitations (for example, trendline using two highest/highest bars inside lookback is approximate). Add clear comments, helpful variable names, and include example alertcondition lines for entry and exit signals.

VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6: Script Summary This Pine Script implements a highly flexible, multi-layered trading strategy centered around the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its associated Standard Deviation Bands. The strategy is designed to test various entry/exit models based on how the price interacts with the central VWAP line and the upper/lower volatility bands, with extensive risk management and confirmation filters. 1. Core Mechanics (VWAP & Bands) VWAP Calculation: Calculates the VWAP based on a user-defined source (default is the close price). Standard Deviation Bands: Creates upper and lower bands by calculating the standard deviation of the price (over 20 periods by default) and multiplying it by a user-defined Multiplier (default is 2.0). These bands dynamically expand and contract with volatility. Plotting: The script clearly plots the VWAP (purple), the Upper Band (green), and the Lower Band (red), with a colored fill between the bands. 2. Entry Triggers The core entry logic is based on a single, user-selected cross event between the price and the VWAP/Bands. The user can choose from six predefined entry types: Entry Type Category Entry Trigger (Long) Entry Trigger (Short) Mean Reversion Price crosses over the Lower Band. Price crosses under the Upper Band. Trend Following Price crosses over the Upper Band (Breakout). Price crosses under the Lower Band (Breakout). VWAP Cross Price crosses over the VWAP. Price crosses under the VWAP. 3. Filters and Confirmation Trades are only executed if they pass a series of optional filters, making the strategy highly customizable: Technical Confirmation (Optional): Users can enable and configure up to three additional indicators that must align with the trade direction: RSI: Price must be Oversold (for Long) or Overbought (for Short). SMMA: Price must be above the SMMA (for Long) or below (for Short). MACD: MACD line must cross the Signal line and the Histogram must be positive/negative. Time and Day Filters: Trades are restricted to a defined Entry Start/End Hour/Minute window, and only execute on user-selected Trading Days of the week. Trade Direction: Can be toggled to execute Long Only, Short Only, or Both. 4. Advanced Risk Management (Daily Limits) The strategy incorporates robust daily limits that reset at a configured Daily Reset Hour/Minute: Daily Profit/Loss Limits: If the running total of Realized PnL (closed trades) + Unrealized PnL (open position) exceeds a user-defined Daily Take Profit (in Ticks) or falls below the Daily Stop Loss (in Ticks), the strategy locks out new trades and immediately closes any open position. Max Daily Trades: Prevents the strategy from entering more than a specified number of trades per day. 5. Exit Logic The strategy exit is also highly configurable via the Exit Type setting: Fixed Ticks / ATR / Capped ATR: If one of these is selected, the script calculates a static Stop Loss and Take Profit level upon entry, using either fixed tick values or dynamic values based on the Average True Range (ATR), which are then executed using Pine Script's strategy.exit function. Cross Exits (VWAP/Bands): If selected, the position is closed when the price crosses the VWAP or a specific band in the opposite direction. End-of-Day Close: An unconditional exit that closes all open positions at a user-defined Close All Hour/Minute, regardless of profit/loss or limit status, preventing positions from being held overnight.

Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) [Quant Trading] V7Overview The Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) V7 is a comprehensive trend-following strategy that combines Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) with volatility-based bands to identify high-probability trade entries and exits. This strategy is designed to reduce lag inherent in traditional moving averages while incorporating dynamic risk management through ATR-based stops and multiple exit mechanisms. This is a longer term horizon strategy that takes limited trades. It is not a high frequency trading and therefore will also have limited data and not > 100 trades. How It Works Core Signal Generation: The strategy uses a Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA) calculated by applying an EMA to price data that has been adjusted for lag: Calculate lag period: floor((length - 1) / 2) Apply lag correction: src + (src - src ) Calculate ZLEMA: EMA of lag-corrected price Volatility bands are created using the highest ATR over a lookback period multiplied by a band multiplier. These bands are added to and subtracted from the ZLEMA line to create upper and lower boundaries. Trend Detection: The strategy maintains a trend variable that switches between bullish (1) and bearish (-1): Long Signal: Triggers when price crosses above ZLEMA + volatility band Short Signal: Triggers when price crosses below ZLEMA - volatility band Optional ZLEMA Trend Confirmation: When enabled, this filter requires ZLEMA to show directional momentum before entry: Bullish Confirmation: ZLEMA must increase for 4 consecutive bars Bearish Confirmation: ZLEMA must decrease for 4 consecutive bars This additional filter helps avoid false signals in choppy or ranging markets. Risk Management Features: The strategy includes multiple stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms: Volatility-Based Stops: Default stop-loss is placed at ZLEMA ± volatility band ATR-Based Stops: Dynamic stop-loss calculated as entry price ± (ATR × multiplier) ATR Trailing Stop: Ratcheting stop-loss that follows price but never moves against position Risk-Reward Profit Target: Take-profit level set as a multiple of stop distance Break-Even Stop: Moves stop to entry price after reaching specified R:R ratio Trend-Based Exit: Closes position when price crosses EMA in opposite direction Performance Tracking: The strategy includes optional features for monitoring and analyzing trades: Floating Statistics Table: Displays key metrics including win rate, GOA (Gain on Account), net P&L, and max drawdown Trade Log Labels: Shows entry/exit prices, P&L, bars held, and exit reason for each closed trade CSV Export Fields: Outputs trade data for external analysis Default Strategy Settings Commission & Slippage: Commission: 0.1% per trade Slippage: 3 ticks Initial Capital: $1,000 Position Size: 100% of equity per trade Main Calculation Parameters: Length: 70 (range: 70-7000) - Controls ZLEMA calculation period Band Multiplier: 1.2 - Adjusts width of volatility bands Entry Conditions (All Disabled by Default): Use ZLEMA Trend Confirmation: OFF - Requires ZLEMA directional momentum Re-Enter on Long Trend: OFF - Allows multiple entries during sustained trends Short Trades: Allow Short Trades: OFF - Strategy is long-only by default Performance Settings (All Disabled by Default): Use Profit Target: OFF Profit Target Risk-Reward Ratio: 2.0 (when enabled) Dynamic TP/SL (All Disabled by Default): Use ATR-Based Stop-Loss & Take-Profit: OFF ATR Length: 14 Stop-Loss ATR Multiplier: 1.5 Profit Target ATR Multiplier: 2.5 Use ATR Trailing Stop: OFF Trailing Stop ATR Multiplier: 1.5 Use Break-Even Stop-Loss: OFF Move SL to Break-Even After RR: 1.5 Use Trend-Based Take Profit: OFF EMA Exit Length: 9 Trade Data Display (All Disabled by Default): Show Floating Stats Table: OFF Show Trade Log Labels: OFF Enable CSV Export: OFF Trade Label Vertical Offset: 0.5 Backtesting Date Range: Start Date: January 1, 2018 End Date: December 31, 2069 Important Usage Notes Default Configuration: The strategy operates in its most basic form with default settings - using only ZLEMA crossovers with volatility bands and volatility-based stop-losses. All advanced features must be manually enabled. Stop-Loss Priority: If multiple stop-loss methods are enabled simultaneously, the strategy will use whichever condition is hit first. ATR-based stops override volatility-based stops when enabled. Long-Only by Default: Short trading is disabled by default. Enable "Allow Short Trades" to trade both directions. Performance Monitoring: Enable the floating stats table and trade log labels to visualize strategy performance during backtesting. Exit Mechanisms: The strategy can exit trades through multiple methods: stop-loss hit, take-profit reached, trend reversal, or trailing stop activation. The trade log identifies which exit method was used. Re-Entry Logic: When "Re-Enter on Long Trend" is enabled with ZLEMA trend confirmation, the strategy can take multiple long positions during extended uptrends as long as all entry conditions remain valid. Capital Efficiency: Default setting uses 100% of equity per trade. Adjust "default_qty_value" to manage position sizing based on risk tolerance. Realistic Backtesting: Strategy includes commission (0.1%) and slippage (3 ticks) to provide realistic performance expectations. These values should be adjusted based on your broker and market conditions. Recommended Use Cases Trending Markets: Best suited for markets with clear directional moves where trend-following strategies excel Medium to Long-Term Trading: The default length of 70 makes this strategy more appropriate for swing trading rather than scalping Risk-Conscious Traders: Multiple stop-loss options allow traders to customize risk management to their comfort level Backtesting & Optimization: Comprehensive performance tracking features make this strategy ideal for testing different parameter combinations Limitations & Considerations Like all trend-following strategies, performance may suffer in choppy or ranging markets Default 100% position sizing means full capital exposure per trade - consider reducing for conservative risk management Higher length values (70+) reduce signal frequency but may improve signal quality Multiple simultaneous risk management features may create conflicting exit signals Past performance shown in backtests does not guarantee future results Customization Tips For more aggressive trading: Reduce length parameter (minimum 70) Decrease band multiplier for tighter bands Enable short trades Use lower profit target R:R ratios For more conservative trading: Increase length parameter Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation Use wider ATR stop-loss multipliers Enable break-even stop-loss Reduce position size from 100% default For optimal choppy market performance: Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation Increase band multiplier Use tighter profit targets Avoid re-entry on trend continuation Visual Elements The strategy plots several elements on the chart: ZLEMA line (color-coded by trend direction) Upper and lower volatility bands Long entry markers (green triangles) Short entry markers (red triangles, when enabled) Stop-loss levels (when positions are open) Take-profit levels (when enabled and positions are open) Trailing stop lines (when enabled and positions are open) Optional ZLEMA trend markers (triangles at highs/lows) Optional trade log labels showing complete trade information Exit Reason Codes (for CSV Export) When CSV export is enabled, exit reasons are coded as: 0 = Manual/Other 1 = Trailing Stop-Loss 2 = Profit Target 3 = ATR Stop-Loss 4 = Trend Change Conclusion Zero Lag Trend Signals V7 provides a robust framework for trend-following with extensive customization options. The strategy balances simplicity in its core logic with sophisticated risk management features, making it suitable for both beginner and advanced traders. By reducing moving average lag while incorporating volatility-based signals, it aims to capture trends earlier while managing risk through multiple configurable exit mechanisms. The modular design allows traders to start with basic trend-following and progressively add complexity through ZLEMA confirmation, multiple stop-loss methods, and advanced exit strategies. Comprehensive performance tracking and export capabilities make this strategy an excellent tool for systematic testing and optimization. Note: This strategy is provided for educational and backtesting purposes. All trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test thoroughly with paper trading before risking real capital, and adjust position sizing and risk parameters according to your risk tolerance and account size. ================================================================================ TAGS: ================================================================================ trend following, ZLEMA, zero lag, volatility bands, ATR stops, risk management, swing trading, momentum, trend confirmation, backtesting ================================================================================ CATEGORY: ================================================================================ Strategies ================================================================================ CHART SETUP RECOMMENDATIONS: ================================================================================ For optimal visualization when publishing: Use a clean chart with no other indicators overlaid Select a timeframe that shows multiple trade signals (4H or Daily recommended) Choose a trending asset (crypto, forex major pairs, or trending stocks work well) Show at least 6-12 months of data to demonstrate strategy across different market conditions Enable the floating stats table to display key performance metrics Ensure all indicator lines (ZLEMA, bands, stops) are clearly visible Use the default chart type (candlesticks) - avoid Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc. Make sure symbol information and timeframe are clearly visible ================================================================================ COMPLIANCE NOTES: ================================================================================ ✅ Open-source publication with complete code visibility ✅ English-only title and description ✅ Detailed explanation of methodology and calculations ✅ Realistic commission (0.1%) and slippage (3 ticks) included ✅ All default parameters clearly documented ✅ Performance limitations and risks disclosed ✅ No unrealistic claims about performance ✅ No guaranteed results promised ✅ Appropriate for public library (original trend-following implementation with ZLEMA) ✅ Educational disclaimers included ✅ All features explained in detail ================================================================================

HV Spike Strategy (HVP + OR Breakout + Reversal + TP/SL Modes)Here is a script that I tried to make it simple, although it has several parameters, I will try to explain, here we go: Logic: Open Range Breakout: otherwise knows as First Candle Rule, usually used for the first candle in the opening of a market session, in my strategy there is an option to use it even for Crypto that operate 24/7, how to do that? Simply by detecting Volatility from the HVP (Historical Volatility Percentile). Then the ORB logic kicks in and the first candle with high volatility gives the ranges for the trades. The proper HVP Activation Threshold has to be selected for each currency pair/index/crypto in order to have maximum profit. Enter a trade: when the price goes 100% above/below the First Candle Rule Range. That way it is filtering fake breakouts. Also if the price reverses back into the range the strategy takes the opposite trade. Exit a trade: SL/TP By percentage or ATR, selection in the input menu. My intention is to avoid using lagging indicators or guessing of Price Action, purely Bull/Bear indication by the first candle. I hope you find this helpful! Wishing all successful Trades!
