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

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

Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 PUBLIC (S.S)Strategy Description (English)
Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 – Quality Mode
The Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 is a structured swing trading and trend-following strategy designed to identify high-probability long and short entries during directional markets.
It combines three core setup types commonly used by momentum and breakout traders:
Breakout (BO)
Pullback Reversal (PB)
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP)
The strategy applies multiple layers of confirmation, including multi-EMA trend structure, volatility contraction, volume filters, and an optional market regime filter.
It is suitable for swing trading on higher timeframes (4H, Daily), as well as medium-term trend continuation setups.
Core Concepts
1. Trend Structure
A trend is considered valid when:
Uptrend: Price > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA100
Downtrend: Price < EMA20 < EMA50 < EMA100
In addition, a simple but effective trend-strength metric is calculated using the percentage spread between EMA20 and EMA100.
This helps avoid signals during sideways or low-volatility environments.
2. Market Regime Filter
The market environment is determined using a higher timeframe benchmark (default: SPY on Daily).
Only long trades are allowed in bullish market conditions
Only short trades in bearish conditions
This significantly reduces false signals in counter-trend conditions.
Entry Logic
Breakout (BO)
A long breakout triggers when:
Price closes above the highest high of the lookback period
Volume exceeds its 20-period average
Trend and market regime confirm
(Optional A+ mode): true volatility contraction is required
Similar logic applies for short breakdowns.
Pullback (PB)
A pullback entry triggers after:
At least two corrective candles
A strong reversal candle (close above previous high for long)
Volume confirmation
Price interacts with EMA20
This structure models classical trend-reentry conditions.
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP)
A VCP entry triggers when:
True range contracts over multiple bars
Price holds near the breakout zone
Volume contracts
Trend and market regime are aligned
This setup aims to capture explosive continuation moves.
Quality Modes
The strategy offers two modes:
Balanced Mode
Moderate signal frequency
Broader trend-strength allowance
Suitable for more active traders
A+ Only Mode
Strict confirmation requirements
Only high-quality setups with multiple confluences
Designed to avoid low-probability trades entirely
Risk Management
Risk is managed using an ATR-based stop and target:
Long SL = Close − ATR × 1.5
Long TP = Close + ATR × 3
(Equivalent logic for short positions)
This provides a balanced reward-to-risk profile and avoids overly tight stops.
Early Entry Signals (Optional)
The script offers optional “Early Entry” markers that highlight when a setup is forming but not yet confirmed.
These are not entry signals and are disabled by default for public use.
Intended Use
This strategy is designed for:
Swing trading
Momentum continuation
Trend-following
Multi-day to multi-week trades
It performs best on:
4H
Daily
High-liquidity equities, indices, and futures

G-BOT ENGULFING CANDLE - FIXED SL & TP // Description:
This Pine Script strategy identifies bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns over a defined lookback period and places trades based
on recent market highs and lows. It calculates stop loss and take profit levels using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor, with the ability to adjust the risk-to-reward ratio for each trade.
CDC Action Zone V.2 strategy — Updated v6Making a profit with a candlestick structure compared to the MA course 25 line with nine intersecting to find. Buy in the market.
Structure Break Out + rsi divergence + alma SIMPLIFIED OBJECTIVE (dyor, nfa, test different assets and diff TF)
The goal of this script is to act as a Reversal Sniper. Most traders lose money by trying to guess the top or bottom of a market too early. This strategy solves that by waiting for two specific events to happen together:
First, a hidden shift in momentum (RSI Divergence).
Second, a confirmed change in price direction (Crossing the ALMA 20 Blue Line).
This ensures you only enter a trade when the market has confirmed it is ready to reverse.
TRADING RULES
BUY SIGNAL (Long Position)
Step 1: Look for a GREEN DIV label below the candles. This warns you that sellers are exhausted.
Step 2: Wait for a GREEN TRIANGLE with the text GO. This confirms the price has crossed above the Blue Line.
Step 3: Enter the Buy trade immediately when the candle with the GO signal closes.
SELL SIGNAL (Short Position)
Step 1: Look for a RED DIV label above the candles. This warns you that buyers are exhausted.
Step 2: Wait for a RED TRIANGLE with the text GO. This confirms the price has crossed below the Blue Line.
Step 3: Enter the Sell trade immediately when the candle with the GO signal closes.
EXIT RULES (How to Close the Trade)
The script draws lines on the chart to help you manage the trade.
Scenario A: The Perfect Win (Target Hit)
If price hits the Green Line, the trade is closed automatically for a profit. This is your Risk-Reward Target.
Scenario B: The Trend Change (Reversal)
If the price turns around and crosses the Blue Line in the wrong direction, close the trade immediately. Do not wait for the stop loss. This protects your profits or keeps losses small.
Scenario C: The Safety Net (Stop Loss)
If price hits the Red Line, the trade is closed for a loss. This is your safety guard to prevent a small loss from becoming a big one.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Never trade a DIV label without a GO signal. The DIV is just a warning; the GO is the trigger.
- This strategy works best on 15-Minute and 1-Hour timeframes.
- If t
he Blue Line is flat, be careful, as the market may be ranging. Ideally, you want to see the Blue Line angling up or down.
First Fvg Strategy with CHoCH Exits, Adaptive TP & Entry TimerA strategy that is purely based off of prices reaction to the first presented fair value gap at 9:30 market open. Works best on NASDAQ one minute timeframe. Experimental indicator for me to back test first presented fair value gap.
Smart Bottom Catcher @ Le DReversal strategy using recent lowest lows and a fast RSI. Long entries trigger on extreme drops, exits occur when RSI crosses a set threshold. Includes optional SMA55 filter and allows up to 3 pyramids.
GOLD EMA Crossover Strategy This EMA Crossover Strategy is designed for intraday trading on the 5-minute chart.
It uses three EMAs (fast, mid, slow) to identify momentum shifts and trigger long or short entries. Risk management is dollar-based, with default settings of $100 risk per trade and $300 profit target. Entries are taken when the fast EMA crosses above/below the mid or slow EMA, with stops and targets calculated dynamically. The strategy runs across all hours and uses fixed position sizing (default 3 contracts). It is intended as a framework for traders to adapt and optimize to their own instruments and risk preferences.

Third eye • StrategyThird eye • Strategy – User Guide
1. Idea & Concept
Third eye • Strategy combines three things into one system:
Ichimoku Cloud – to define market regime and support/resistance.
Moving Average (trend filter) – to trade only in the dominant direction.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) – to generate precise entry signals on momentum breakouts.
The script is a strategy, not an indicator: it can backtest entries, exits, SL, TP and BreakEven logic automatically.
2. Indicators Used
2.1 Ichimoku
Standard Ichimoku settings (by default 9/26/52/26) are used:
Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen)
Base Line (Kijun-sen)
Leading Span A & B (Kumo Cloud)
Lagging Span is calculated but hidden from the chart (for visual simplicity).
From the cloud we derive:
kumoTop – top of the cloud under current price.
kumoBottom – bottom of the cloud under current price.
Flags:
is_above_kumo – price above the cloud.
is_below_kumo – price below the cloud.
is_in_kumo – price inside the cloud.
These conditions are used as trend / regime filters and for stop-loss & trailing stops.
2.2 Moving Average
You can optionally display and use a trend MA:
Types: SMA, EMA, DEMA, WMA
Length: configurable (default 200)
Source: default close
Filter idea:
If MA Direction Filter is ON:
When Close > MA → strategy allows only Long signals.
When Close < MA → strategy allows only Short signals.
The MA is plotted on the chart (if enabled).
2.3 CCI & Panel
The CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is used for entry timing:
CCI length and source are configurable (default length 20, source hlc3).
Two thresholds:
CCI Upper Threshold (Long) – default +100
CCI Lower Threshold (Short) – default –100
Signals:
Long signal:
CCI crosses up through the upper threshold
cci_val < upper_threshold and cci_val > upper_threshold
Short signal:
CCI crosses down through the lower threshold
cci_val > lower_threshold and cci_val < lower_threshold
There is a panel (table) in the bottom-right corner:
Shows current CCI value.
Shows filter status as colored dots:
Green = filter enabled and passed.
Red = filter enabled and blocking trades.
Gray = filter is disabled.
Filters shown in the panel:
Ichimoku Cloud filter (Long/Short)
Ichimoku Lines filter (Conversion/Base vs Cloud)
MA Direction filter
3. Filters & Trade Direction
All filters can be turned ON/OFF independently.
3.1 Ichimoku Cloud Filter
Purpose: trade only when price is clearly above or below the Kumo.
Long Cloud Filter (Use Ichimoku Cloud Filter) – when enabled:
Long trades only if close > cloud top.
Short Cloud Filter – when enabled:
Short trades only if close < cloud bottom.
If the cloud filter is disabled, this condition is ignored.
3.2 Ichimoku Lines Above/Below Cloud
Purpose: stronger trend confirmation: Ichimoku lines should also be on the “correct” side of the cloud.
Long Lines Filter:
Long allowed only if Conversion Line and Base Line are both above the cloud.
Short Lines Filter:
Short allowed only if both lines are below the cloud.
If this filter is OFF, the conditions are not checked.
3.3 MA Direction Filter
As described above:
When ON:
Close > MA → only Longs.
Close < MA → only Shorts.
4. Anti-Re-Entry Logic (Cloud Touch Reset)
The strategy uses internal flags to avoid continuous re-entries in the same direction without a reset.
Two flags:
allowLong
allowShort
After a Long entry, allowLong is set to false, allowShort to true.
After a Short entry, allowShort is set to false, allowLong to true.
Flags are reset when price touches the Kumo:
If Low goes into the cloud → allowLong = true
If High goes into the cloud → allowShort = true
If Close is inside the cloud → both allowLong and allowShort are set to true
There is a key option:
Wait Position Close Before Flag Reset
If ON: cloud touch will reset flags only when there is no open position.
If OFF: flags can be reset even while a trade is open.
This gives a kind of regime-based re-entry control: after a trend leg, you wait for a “cloud interaction” to allow new signals.
5. Risk Management
All risk management is handled inside the strategy.
5.1 Position Sizing
Order Size % of Equity – default 10%
The strategy calculates:
position_value = equity * (Order Size % / 100)
position_qty = position_value / close
So position size automatically adapts to your current equity.
5.2 Take Profit Modes
You can choose one of two TP modes:
Percent
Fibonacci
5.2.1 Percent Mode
Single Take Profit at X% from entry (default 2%).
For Long:
TP = entry_price * (1 + tp_pct / 100)
For Short:
TP = entry_price * (1 - tp_pct / 100)
One strategy.exit per side is used: "Long TP/SL" and "Short TP/SL".
5.2.2 Fibonacci Mode (2 partial TPs)
In this mode, TP levels are based on a virtual Fib-style extension between entry and stop-loss.
Inputs:
Fib TP1 Level (default 1.618)
Fib TP2 Level (default 2.5)
TP1 Share % (Fib) (default 50%)
TP2 share is automatically 100% - TP1 share.
Process for Long:
Compute a reference Stop (see SL section below) → sl_for_fib.
Compute distance: dist = entry_price - sl_for_fib.
TP levels:
TP1 = entry_price + dist * (Fib TP1 Level - 1)
TP2 = entry_price + dist * (Fib TP2 Level - 1)
For Short, the logic is mirrored.
Two exits are used:
TP1 – closes TP1 share % of position.
TP2 – closes remaining TP2 share %.
Same stop is used for both partial exits.
5.3 Stop-Loss Modes
You can choose one of three Stop Loss modes:
Stable – fixed % from entry.
Ichimoku – fixed level derived from the Kumo.
Ichimoku Trailing – dynamic SL following the cloud.
5.3.1 Stable SL
For Long:
SL = entry_price * (1 - Stable SL % / 100)
For Short:
SL = entry_price * (1 + Stable SL % / 100)
Used both for Percent TP mode and as reference for Fib TP if Kumo is not available.
5.3.2 Ichimoku SL (fixed, non-trailing)
At the time of a new trade:
For Long:
Base SL = cloud bottom minus small offset (%)
For Short:
Base SL = cloud top plus small offset (%)
The offset is configurable: Ichimoku SL Offset %.
Once computed, that SL level is fixed for this trade.
5.3.3 Ichimoku Trailing SL
Similar to Ichimoku SL, but recomputed each bar:
For Long:
SL = cloud bottom – offset
For Short:
SL = cloud top + offset
A red trailing SL line is drawn on the chart to visualize current stop level.
This trailing SL is also used as reference for BreakEven and for Fib TP distance.
6. BreakEven Logic (with BE Lines)
BreakEven is optional and supports two modes:
Percent
Fibonacci
Inputs:
Percent mode:
BE Trigger % (from entry) – move SL to BE when price goes this % in profit.
BE Offset % from entry – SL will be set to entry ± this offset.
Fibonacci mode:
BE Fib Level – Fib level at which BE will be activated (default 1.618, same style as TP).
BE Offset % from entry – how far from entry to place BE stop.
The logic:
Before BE is triggered, SL follows its normal mode (Stable/Ichimoku/Ichimoku Trailing).
When BE triggers:
For Long:
New SL = max(current SL, BE SL).
For Short:
New SL = min(current SL, BE SL).
This means BE will never loosen the stop – only tighten it.
When BE is activated, the strategy draws a violet horizontal line at the BreakEven level (once per trade).
BE state is cleared when the position is closed or when a new position is opened.
7. Entry & Exit Logic (Summary)
7.1 Long Entry
Conditions for a Long:
CCI signal:
CCI crosses up through the upper threshold.
Ichimoku Cloud Filter (optional):
If enabled → price must be above the Kumo.
Ichimoku Lines Filter (optional):
If enabled → Conversion Line and Base Line must be above the Kumo.
MA Direction Filter (optional):
If enabled → Close must be above the chosen MA.
Anti-re-entry flag:
allowLong must be true (cloud-based reset).
Position check:
Long entries are allowed when current position size ≤ 0 (so it can also reverse from short to long).
If all these conditions are true, the strategy sends:
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty = calculated_qty)
After entry:
allowLong = false
allowShort = true
7.2 Short Entry
Same structure, mirrored:
CCI signal:
CCI crosses down through the lower threshold.
Cloud filter: price must be below cloud (if enabled).
Lines filter: conversion & base must be below cloud (if enabled).
MA filter: Close must be below MA (if enabled).
allowShort must be true.
Position check: position size ≥ 0 (allows reversal from long to short).
Then:
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short, qty = calculated_qty)
Flags update:
allowShort = false
allowLong = true
7.3 Exits
While in a position:
The strategy continuously recalculates SL (depending on chosen mode) and, in Percent mode, TP.
In Fib mode, fixed TP levels are computed at entry.
BreakEven may raise/tighten the SL if its conditions are met.
Exits are executed via strategy.exit:
Percent mode: one TP+SL exit per side.
Fib mode: two partial exits (TP1 and TP2) sharing the same SL.
At position open, the script also draws visual lines:
White line — entry price.
Green line(s) — TP level(s).
Red line — SL (if not using Ichimoku Trailing; with trailing, the red line is updated dynamically).
Maximum of 30 lines are kept to avoid clutter.
8. How to Use the Strategy
Choose market & timeframe
Works well on trending instruments. Try crypto, FX or indices on H1–H4, or intraday if you prefer more trades.
Adjust Ichimoku settings
Keep defaults (9/26/52/26) or adapt to your timeframe.
Configure Moving Average
Typical: EMA 200 as a trend filter.
Turn MA Direction Filter ON if you want to trade only with the main trend.
Set CCI thresholds
Default ±100 is classic.
Lower thresholds → more signals, higher noise.
Higher thresholds → fewer but stronger signals.
Enable/disable filters
Turn on Ichimoku Cloud and Ichimoku Lines if you want only “clean” trend trades.
Use Wait Position Close Before Flag Reset to control how often re-entries are allowed.
Choose TP & SL mode
Percent mode is simpler and easier to understand.
Fibonacci mode is more advanced: it aligns TP levels with the distance to stop, giving asymmetric RR setups (two partial TPs).
Choose Stable SL for fixed-risk trades, or Ichimoku / Ichimoku Trailing to tie stops to the cloud structure.
Set BreakEven
Enable BE if you want to lock in risk-free trades after a certain move.
Percent mode is straightforward; Fib mode keeps BreakEven in harmony with your Fib TP setup.
Run Backtest & Optimize
Press “Add to chart” → go to Strategy Tester.
Adjust parameters to your market and timeframe.
Look at equity curve, PF, drawdown, average trade, etc.
Live / Paper Trading
After you’re satisfied with backtest results, use the strategy to generate signals.
You can mirror entries/exits manually or connect them to alerts (if you build an alert-based execution layer).
Dual MTF Confirmed Trend Strategy (5m Entry / 15m MACD & RSI) v1That is a detailed Dual Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmed Trend Strategy written in Pine Script for TradingView. The core idea of this strategy is to only take entry signals on a faster timeframe (5-minute) when the trend is strongly confirmed on a slower, higher timeframe (15-minute). This aims to reduce false signals and trade in the direction of the dominant trend. Here is an explanation of how the strategy works, broken down by section:
1. 5-Minute Entry Filters 🚀This section calculates several indicators on the current 5-minute chart to identify potential trade setups. A position is only considered if all 5-minute conditions align.
Supertrend: A trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR).
Long Condition: The closing price must be above the Supertrend line.
Short Condition: The closing price must be below the Supertrend line.
Gann Hi-Lo (GHL): A trend indicator using Simple Moving Averages (SMA) of the high and low prices. GHL Line: Switches between the SMA of the Highs and the SMA of the Lows based on price action.
Long Condition: The closing price must be above the GHL line.
Short Condition: The closing price must be below the GHL line.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): It uses a 50-period EMA and a 100-period EMA to confirm the short-term trend direction.
Long Condition: The closing price must be above both the 50 EMA and the 100 EMA.
Short Condition: The closing price must be below both the 50 EMA and the 100 EMA.
2. 15-Minute MTF Confirmation Filters ⏳This is the crucial step where the strategy verifies the trend on the slower, 15-minute timeframe using the request security function. This step acts as a gatekeeper to ensure the 5-minute trade aligns with the larger trend.
MACD Histogram (12, 26, 9): The difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line.
Long Confirmation: The 15m MACD Histogram must be greater than 0 (MACD line is above the Signal line, indicating bullish momentum).
Short Confirmation: The 15m MACD Histogram must be less than 0 (MACD line is below the Signal line, indicating bearish momentum).
RSI (Relative Strength Index) (14): A momentum oscillator. The 50 level is often used to determine the general market trend.
Long Confirmation: The 15m RSI must be greater than 50 (indicating stronger bullish momentum).
Short Confirmation: The 15m RSI must be less than 50 (indicating stronger bearish momentum).
The Total 15m Confirmation is only true if both the MACD and the RSI confirmation signals align.
3. Trade Orders (Entry Logic) ⚖️
The strategy only executes a trade when the 5-minute entry conditions are met AND the 15-minute confirmation conditions are met.
Final Long Condition:
5m Conditions (Supertrend, GHL, EMA alignment) AND
15m Confirmation (MACD Hist > 0 AND RSI > 50)
Final Short Condition:
5m Conditions (Supertrend, GHL, EMA alignment) AND
15m Confirmation (MACD Hist < 0 AND RSI < 50)
When a trade signal is generated, the strategy:
Closes any opposite position (e.g., closes a "Short" trade if a "Long" signal appears).
Enters the new position (e.g., enters a "Long" trade).
This is designed as a reversal strategy where a new entry automatically closes the previous opposing trade.
In Summary
The strategy operates on a principle of Trend Alignment:
5-Minute Chart: Is used for Signal Timing (when exactly to enter the market).
15-Minute Chart: Is used for Trend Validation (is the overall market momentum supporting the signal?).
It's an attempt to capture short-term moves (5m signals) that are backed by strong medium-term momentum (15m confirmation), thereby aiming for higher probability trades.
This is not investment advice; it is recommended to perform optimization and backtesting for the assets intended for implementation.
BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal StrategyBTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal Strategy is a price-action based reversal system that turns your existing “Bullet-Proof Reversal Detector” into a fully backtestable TradingView strategy with built-in risk management. It is designed to catch clean swing reversals using pure market structure, then automatically place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on your preferred risk-reward settings.
## Core concept
The strategy identifies true swing highs and lows using pivots and then waits for a clear market structure shift before entering any trade. It looks for a higher low followed by a break of structure for longs, and a lower high followed by a break of structure for shorts, helping filter out many random spikes and fakeouts. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer clean, rule-based entries grounded in market structure rather than noisy, indicator-heavy setups.
## Entries and exits
- Long trades are triggered after a bullish higher-low plus a confirmed break above the last swing high.
- Short trades are triggered after a bearish lower-high plus a confirmed break below the last swing low.
- Every position is protected with an automatic stop-loss and a calculated take-profit, so each trade has a predefined risk and reward from the moment it is opened.
## Risk management
The strategy lets you control your risk with a configurable risk-reward ratio (RR) and flexible stop-loss options. You can choose between an ATR-based stop (ATR × multiplier) or a fixed percentage stop relative to the entry price. Once the stop distance is known, the take-profit level is automatically derived from your RR value, making trade sizing and evaluation more consistent across different pairs and timeframes.
## Use cases and recommendations
This script is ideal for swing and intraday traders who want to systematically test market-structure reversals on assets like Bitcoin or other volatile instruments. For best results, experiment with different timeframes and ATR/percentage settings, and always validate performance using the Strategy Tester before deploying it on live markets. Remember that no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, so use proper risk management and adapt settings to your own style and risk tolerance.
Retracement Strategy [OmegaTools]Retracement Strategy is a systematic trend–retracement framework designed to identify directional opportunities after a confirmed momentum shift, and to manage exits using either trend reversals or overextension conditions. It is built around a smoothed RSI regime filter and a simple, price-based retracement trigger, making it applicable across a wide range of markets and timeframes while remaining transparent and easy to interpret.
The strategy begins by defining the underlying trend through a two-stage RSI signal. A standard RSI is computed over the user-defined Length input, then smoothed with a short moving average to reduce noise. Two symmetric thresholds are derived from the Threshold parameter: an upper band at 100 minus the threshold and a lower band at the threshold itself. When the smoothed RSI crosses above the upper band, the environment is classified as bullish and the internal trend state is set to uptrend. When the smoothed RSI crosses below the lower band, the environment is classified as bearish and the trend state becomes downtrend. When RSI moves back into the central zone between the two bands, the trend is considered neutral. In addition to the current trend, the strategy tracks the last non-neutral trend direction, which is used to detect genuine trend changes rather than transient oscillations.
Once a trend is established, the strategy looks for retracement entries in the direction of that trend. For long setups in an uptrend, it computes the lowest low over the previous Length minus one bars, excluding the current bar. A long signal is generated when price dips below this recent low while the trend state remains bullish. Symmetrically, for short setups in a downtrend, it computes the highest high over the previous Length minus one bars and enters short when price spikes above this recent high while the trend state remains bearish. This logic is designed to capture pullbacks against the prevailing RSI-defined trend, entering when the market tests or slightly violates recent extremes, rather than chasing breakouts. The candles are visually coloured to reflect the detected trend, highlighting bullish and bearish environments while keeping neutral phases distinguishable on the chart. An ATR-based measure is used solely to position the “UP” and “DN” labels on the chart for clearer visualisation of entry points; it does not directly influence position sizing or stop calculation in this implementation.
Take profit and stop loss behaviour are fully parameterized through the “Take Profit” and “Stop Loss” inputs, each offering three modes: None, Trend Change and Extension. When “Trend Change” is selected for the take profit, the strategy will only exit profitable positions when a confirmed trend reversal occurs. For a long position, this means that the strategy will close the trade when the trend state flips from uptrend to downtrend, and the last recorded trend direction validates that this is a genuine reversal rather than a neutral fluctuation; the same logic applies symmetrically for short positions. When “Extension” is selected as the take profit mode, the strategy closes profitable long trades when the smoothed RSI reaches or exceeds the upper threshold, interpreted as an overbought extension within the bullish regime, and closes profitable short trades when the smoothed RSI falls to or below the lower threshold, interpreted as an oversold extension within the bearish regime. When “None” is chosen, the strategy does not apply any explicit take profit logic, leaving trades to be managed by the stop loss settings or by user discretion in backtesting.
The stop loss parameter works in a parallel way. With “Trend Change” selected as stop loss, any open long position is closed when the trend flips from uptrend to downtrend, regardless of whether the trade is currently in profit or loss, and any open short is closed when the trend flips from downtrend to uptrend. This turns the RSI trend regime into a hard invalidation rule: once the underlying momentum structure reverses, the position is exited. With “Extension” selected for stop loss, long positions are closed when RSI falls back below the upper band and moves towards the opposite side of the range, while short positions are closed when RSI rises above the lower band and moves towards the upper side. In practice, this acts as a dynamic exit based on the oscillator moving out of a favourable context for the existing trade. Selecting “None” for stop loss disables these automatic exits, leaving only the take profit logic, if any, to manage the position. Because take profit and stop loss configuration are independent, the user can construct different profiles, such as pure trend-change exits on both sides, pure overextension exits, or a mix (for example, take profit on overextension and stop loss on trend reversal).
This strategy is designed as an analytical and backtesting framework rather than a finished plug-and-play trading system. It does not include position sizing, risk-per-trade controls, multi-timeframe confirmation, volatility filters or instrument-specific fine-tuning. Its primary purpose is to provide a clear, rule-based structure for testing retracement logic within RSI-defined trends, and to allow users to explore how different exit regimes (trend-change based versus extension based) affect performance on their instruments and timeframes of interest.
Nothing in this script or its description should be interpreted as financial advice, investment recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Past performance on backtests does not guarantee future results. The behaviour of this strategy can vary significantly across symbols, timeframes and market conditions, and correlations, volatility and liquidity can change without warning. Before considering any live application, users should thoroughly backtest and forward test the strategy on their own data, adjust parameters to their risk profile and instrument characteristics, and integrate proper money management and trade management rules. Use of this script is entirely at the user’s own risk.
ETHUSDT 4H - Keltner Breakout working nice with ETH above EMA200

Stratégie SMC V18.2 (BTC/EUR FINAL R3 - Tendance)This strategy is an automated implementation of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed to operate on the Bitcoin/Euro (BTC/EUR) chart using the 15-minute Timeframe (M15).It focuses on identifying high-probability zones (Order Blocks) after a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) and a Liquidity Sweep, utilizing an H1/EMA 200 trend filter to only execute trades in the direction of the dominant market flow.Risk management is strict: every trade uses a fixed Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R) of 1:3.🧱 Core Logic Components
1. Trend Filter (H1/EMA 200)Objective: To avoid counter-trend entries, which has allowed the success rate to increase to nearly $65\%$ in backtests.Mechanism: A $200$-period EMA is plotted on a higher timeframe (Default: H1/60 minutes).Long (Buy): Entry is only permitted if the current price (M15) is above the trend EMA.Short (Sell): Entry is only permitted if the current price (M15) is below the trend EMA.
2. Order Block (OB) DetectionA potential Order Block is identified on the previous candle if it is
accompanied by an inefficiency (FVG - Fair Value Gap).
3. Advanced SMC ValidationBOS (Break of Structure): A recent BOS must be confirmed by breaking the swing high/low defined by the swing length (Default: 4 M15 candles).Liquidity (Liquidity Sweep): The Order Block zone must have swept recent liquidity (defined by the Liquidity Search Length) within a certain tolerance (Default: $0.1\%$).Point of Interest: The OB must form in a premium zone (for shorts) or a discount zone (for longs) relative to the current swing range (above or below the $50\%$ level of the range).
4. Execution and Risk ManagementEntry: The trade is triggered when the price touches the active Order Block (mitigation).Stop Loss (SL): The SL is fixed at the low of the OB (for longs) or the high of the OB (for shorts).Take Profit (TP): The TP is strictly set at a level corresponding to 3 times the SL distance (R:R 1:3).Lot Sizing: The trade quantity is calculated to risk a fixed amount (Default: 2.00 Euros) per transaction, capped by a Lot Max and Lot Min defined by the user.

EMA 12-26-100 Momentum Strategy# Triple EMA Multi-Signal Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
**Triple EMA Multi-Signal** is a comprehensive trend-following momentum strategy designed specifically for cryptocurrency markets. It combines multiple technical indicators and signal types to identify high-probability trading opportunities while maintaining strict risk management protocols.
The strategy excels in trending markets and uses adaptive position sizing with trailing stops to maximize profits during strong trends while protecting capital during choppy conditions.
## 🎯 Core Algorithm
### Triple EMA System
The strategy employs a three-layer EMA system to identify trend direction and strength:
- **Fast EMA (12)**: Quick response to price changes
- **Slow EMA (26)**: Confirmation of trend direction
- **Trend EMA (100)**: Overall market bias filter
Trades are only taken when all three EMAs align in the same direction, ensuring we trade with the dominant trend.
### Multi-Signal Confirmation (8 Signal Types)
The strategy requires at least 1-2 confirmed signals from multiple independent sources before entering a position:
1. **EMA Crossover** - Fast EMA crossing Slow EMA (primary signal)
2. **MACD Cross** - MACD line crossing signal line (momentum confirmation)
3. **RSI Reversal** - RSI bouncing from oversold/overbought zones
4. **Price Action** - Strong bullish/bearish candles (>60% of range)
5. **Volume Spike** - Above-average volume confirmation
6. **Breakout** - Price breaking 20-period high/low with volume
7. **Pullback to EMA** - Trend continuation after healthy retracement
8. **Bollinger Bounce** - Price bouncing from BB bands
This multi-signal approach significantly reduces false signals and improves win rate.
