Moving A. By AndersonGA moving average (MA) is a widely used indicator in technical analysis that helps smooth out price action by filtering out the “noise” from random short-term price fluctuations. Moving average is a trend-following, or lagging, indicator because it is based on past prices. The most common applications of moving averages are: to identify the trend direction to determine support and resistance levels. The two basic and commonly used moving averages are the simple moving average ( SMA ), which is the arithmetic average of a security over a defined number of time periods, and the exponential moving average ( EMA ), which gives greater weight to more recent prices.

PVT Osc - Price Volume Trend Oscillator [UTS]The oscillator version of the Price Volume Trend indicator (PVT) can be considered as a leading indicator of future price movements. The PVT Indicator is similar to the On Balance Volume indicator as it is also used to measure the strength of a trend. The difference between the OBV and the PVT is that where the OBV adds all volumes when price achieves higher daily closes and subtracts them when price registers a lower daily close, the PVT adds or subtracts only a portion of the volume from the cumulative total in relation to a percentage change in price. The general market consensus is that this difference enables the PVT to more accurately represent money flow volumes in and out of a stock or commodity. The PVT has been designed so that it is capable of forecasting directional changes in price. For instance, if the price of a stock is rising and the PVT begins to fall, then this is indicative that a price reversal could occur very soon. The general consensus is that the PVT is more accurate at detecting new trading opportunities than the OBV because of the differences in their construction. The OBV is designed so that it adds the same amount of volume whether the price closes upwards by just a small fraction or by multiples of its day opening value. On the other hand, the PVT adds volume proportional to the amount the price closed higher. General Usage Plain old PVT can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences. A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross. Or controversy, disallow LONG trades in bearish territory and disallow SHORT trades in bullish territory.

DEMA ATR Channels - New IndicatorA Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the DEMA. Similar to my "ATR Channels" indicator, but using a DEMA instead of an EMA for the base. In addition, this indicator also plots a fast DEMA as well as a fill between the two. Fully customizable, you can toggle both DEMAs, the fill, and each set of ATR Channels. ATR channel idea from Kerry Lovvorn as mentioned in Elder's "New Trading for a Living", page 93: "Kerry Lovvorn likes to plot 3 sets of lines around a moving average: at one, two, and three ATRs above and below an EMA . These can be used for setting up entry points and stops, as well as profit targets."

General Filter Estimator-An Experiment on Estimating EverythingIntroduction The last indicators i posted where about estimating the least squares moving average, the task of estimating a filter is a funny one because its always a challenge and it require to be really creative. After the last publication of the 1LC-LSMA , who estimate the lsma with 1 line of code and only 3 functions i felt like i could maybe make something more flexible and less complex with the ability to approximate any filter output. Its possible, but the methods to do so are not something that pinescript can do, we have to use another base for our estimation using coefficients, so i inspired myself from the alpha-beta filter and i started writing the code. Calculation and The Estimation Coefficients Simplicity is the key word, its also my signature style, if i want something good it should be simple enough, so my code look like that : p = length/beta a = close - nz(b ,close) b = nz(b ,close) + a/p*gamma 3 line, 2 function, its a good start, we could put everything in one line of code but its easier to see it this way. length control the smoothing amount of the filter, for any filter f(Period) Period should be equal to length and f(Period) = p , it would be inconvenient to have to use a different length period than the one used in the filter we want to estimate (imagine our estimation with length = 50 estimating an ema with period = 100) , this is where the first coefficients beta will be useful, it will allow us to leave length as it is. In general beta will be greater than 1, the greater it will be the less lag the filter will have, this coefficient will be useful to estimate low lagging filters, gamma however is the coefficient who will estimate lagging filters, in general it will range around . We can get loose easily with those coefficients estimation but i will leave a coefficients table in the code for estimating popular filters, and some comparison below. Estimating a Simple Moving Average Of course, the boxcar filter, the running mean, the simple moving average, its an easy filter to use and calculate. For an SMA use the following coefficients : beta = 2 gamma = 0.5 Our filter is in red and the moving average in white with both length at 50 (This goes for every comparison we will do) Its a bit imprecise but its a simple moving average, not the most interesting thing to estimate. Estimating an Exponential Moving Average The ema is a great filter because its length times more computing efficient than a simple moving average. For the EMA use the following coefficients : beta = 3 gamma = 0.4 N.B : The EMA is rougher than the SMA, so it filter less, this is why its faster and closer to the price Estimating The Hull Moving Average Its a good filter for technical analysis with tons of use, lets try to estimate it ! For the HMA use the following coefficients : beta = 4 gamma = 0.85 Looks ok, of course if you find better coefficients i will test them and actualize the coefficient table, i will also put a thank message. Estimating a LSMA Of course i was gonna estimate it, but this time this estimation does not have anything a lsma have, no moving average, no standard deviation, no correlation coefficient, lets do it. For the LSMA use the following coefficients : beta = 3.5 gamma = 0.9 Its far from being the best estimation, but its more efficient than any other i previously made. Estimating the Quadratic Least Square Moving Average I doubted about this one but it can be approximated as well. For the QLSMA use the following coefficients : beta = 5.25 gamma = 1 Another ok estimate, the estimate filter a bit more than needed but its ok. Jurik Moving Average Its far from being a filter that i like and its a bit old. For the comparison i will use the JMA provided by @everget described in this article : c.mql5.com For the JMA use the following coefficients : for phase = 0 beta = pow*2 (pow is a parameter in the Jma) gamma = 0.5 Here length = 50, phase = 0, pow = 5 so beta = 10 Looks pretty good considering the fact that the Jma use an adaptive architecture. Discussion I let you the task to judge if the estimation is good or not, my motivation was to estimate such filters using the less amount of calculations as possible, in itself i think that the code is quite elegant like all the codes of IIR filters (IIR Filters = Infinite Impulse Response : Filters using recursion) . It could be possible to have a better estimate of the coefficients using optimization methods like the gradient descent. This is not feasible in pinescript but i could think about it using python or R. Coefficients should be dependant of length but this would lead to a massive work, the variation of the estimation using fixed coefficients when using different length periods is just ok if we can allow some errors of precision. I dont think it should be possible to estimate adaptive filter relying a lot on their adaptive parameter/smoothing constant except by making our coefficients adaptive (gamma could be) So at the end ? What make a filter truly unique ? From my point of sight the architecture of a filter and the problem he is trying to solve is what make him unique rather than its output result. If you become a signal, hide yourself into noise, then look at the filters trying to find you, what a challenging game, this is why we need filters. Conclusion I wanted to give a simple filter estimator relying on two coefficients in order to estimate both lagging and low-lagging filters. I will try to give more precise estimate and update the indicator with new coefficients. Thanks for reading !

Exponential/Simple Moving Average Ribbon 12Due to popular demand (one person asked) this is an updated version of my EMA 12 indicator. This indicator will show up to twelve moving averages at a time in a single indicator. Or, to put it another way, a moving average ribbon. You can turn individual MAs off or on at your discretion, to show from none to twelve at a time, to better visualize support and resistance areas off of MAs as well as MA crossings. You can also, of course, adjust the length/period of each of the MAs at your discretion. In this version, most significantly, you can select either exponential moving average or simple moving average as well for each individual MA. For the last four MA lines, the color will change from red when bearish to green when bullish. There is also a much more subtle color change in the other MA lines as well.

Penny Stock Short Signal Pro# Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP) v1.0 ## Complete User Guide & Documentation --- # 📋 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. (#introduction) 2. (#why-short-penny-stocks) 3. (#the-7-core-detection-systems) 4. (#installation--setup) 5. (#understanding-the-dashboard) 6. (#input-settings-deep-dive) 7. (#visual-elements-explained) 8. (#alert-configuration) 9. (#trading-strategies) 10. (#risk-management) 11. (#best-practices) 12. (#troubleshooting) 13. (#changelog) --- # Introduction **Penny Stock Short Signal Pro (PSSP)** is a comprehensive Pine Script v6 indicator specifically engineered for identifying high-probability short-selling opportunities on low-priced, high-volatility stocks. Unlike generic indicators that apply broad technical analysis, PSSP is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of penny stock price action—where parabolic moves, retail FOMO, and violent reversals create predictable patterns for prepared traders. ## Key Features - **7 Independent Detection Systems** working in concert to identify exhaustion points - **Composite Signal Engine** that requires multiple confirmations before triggering - **Real-Time Dashboard** displaying all signal states and market metrics - **Automatic Risk Management** with dynamic stop-loss and profit target calculations - **Customizable Sensitivity** for different trading styles (scalping vs. swing) - **Built-in Alert System** for all major signal types ## Who Is This For? - **Active Day Traders** looking to capitalize on intraday reversals - **Short Sellers** who specialize in penny stocks and small caps - **Momentum Traders** who want to identify when momentum is exhausting - **Risk-Conscious Traders** who need clear entry/exit levels --- # Why Short Penny Stocks? ## The Penny Stock Lifecycle Penny stocks follow a remarkably predictable lifecycle that creates shorting opportunities: ``` PHASE 1: ACCUMULATION └── Low volume, tight range └── Smart money quietly building positions PHASE 2: MARKUP / PROMOTION └── News catalyst or promotional campaign └── Volume increases, price begins rising └── Early momentum traders enter PHASE 3: DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OPPORTUNITY) └── Parabolic move attracts retail FOMO buyers └── Smart money selling into strength └── Volume climax signals exhaustion └── ⚠️ PSSP SIGNALS FIRE HERE ⚠️ PHASE 4: DECLINE └── Support breaks, panic selling └── Price returns toward origin └── Short sellers profit ``` ## Why Shorts Work on Penny Stocks 1. **No Fundamental Support**: Most penny stocks have no earnings, revenue, or assets to justify elevated prices 2. **Promotional Nature**: Many rallies are driven by promoters who will eventually stop 3. **Retail Exhaustion**: Retail buying power is finite—when it's exhausted, gravity takes over 4. **Float Dynamics**: Low float stocks move fast in both directions 5. **Technical Levels Matter**: VWAP, round numbers, and prior highs become self-fulfilling resistance --- # The 7 Core Detection Systems PSSP employs seven independent detection algorithms. Each identifies a specific type of exhaustion or reversal signal. When multiple systems fire simultaneously, the probability of a successful short dramatically increases. --- ## 1. PARABOLIC EXHAUSTION DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies when price has moved too far, too fast and is likely to reverse. This system looks for the classic "blow-off top" pattern common in penny stock runners. ### Technical Logic ``` Parabolic Signal = TRUE when: ├── Consecutive green candles ≥ threshold (default: 3) ├── AND price extension from VWAP ≥ threshold ATRs (default: 1.5) └── OR shooting star / upper wick rejection pattern forms ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Shooting star / upper wick ╱ ╲ (Parabolic exhaustion) ╱ ╱ ╱ ══════════════ VWAP ╱ ╱ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks Penny stocks are notorious for parabolic moves driven by retail FOMO. When everyone who wants to buy has bought, there's no one left to push prices higher. The shooting star pattern shows that sellers are already stepping in at higher prices. ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Lookback Period | 10 | 3-30 | Bars to analyze for pattern | | Extension Threshold | 1.5 ATR | 0.5-5.0 | How far above VWAP is "parabolic" | | Consecutive Green Bars | 3 | 2-10 | Minimum green bars for exhaustion | --- ## 2. VWAP REJECTION SYSTEM ### What It Detects Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the single most important level for institutional traders. This system identifies when price tests above VWAP and gets rejected back below—a powerful short signal. ### Technical Logic ``` VWAP Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Candle high pierces above VWAP ├── AND candle closes below VWAP ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) └── AND rejection distance is within sensitivity threshold ``` ### Visual Representation ``` High ──→ ╱╲ ╱ ╲ VWAP ════════╱════╲═══════════ Close ←── Rejection ``` ### Extended VWAP Signals The system also tracks VWAP standard deviation bands. Rejection from the upper band (2 standard deviations above VWAP) is an even stronger signal. ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Algorithms and institutions use VWAP as their benchmark - Failed attempts to reclaim VWAP often lead to waterfall selling - VWAP acts as a "magnet" that price tends to revert toward ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Rejection Sensitivity | 0.5 ATR | 0.1-2.0 | How close to VWAP for valid rejection | | Show VWAP Line | True | - | Display VWAP on chart | | Show VWAP Bands | True | - | Display standard deviation bands | | Band Multiplier | 2.0 | 0.5-4.0 | Standard deviations for bands | --- ## 3. VOLUME CLIMAX DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "blow-off tops" where extreme volume accompanies a price spike. This often marks the exact top as it represents maximum retail participation—after which buying power is exhausted. ### Technical Logic ``` Volume Climax = TRUE when: ├── Current volume ≥ (Average volume × Climax Multiple) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Selling into the high (upper wick > lower wick on green bar) │ └── OR post-climax weakness (red bar following climax bar) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ Volume: ▂▃▅▇██▇▅▃▂▁ ↑ Volume Climax (3x+ average) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Retail traders pile in at the top, creating volume spikes - Market makers and smart money use this liquidity to exit - Once the volume spike passes, there's no fuel left for higher prices - The "smart money selling into dumb money buying" creates the top ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Volume MA Length | 20 | 5-50 | Period for average volume calculation | | Climax Volume Multiple | 3.0x | 1.5-10.0 | Multiple of average for "climax" | | Show Volume Bars | True | - | Visual volume representation | --- ## 4. RSI DIVERGENCE ANALYZER ### What It Detects Bearish divergence occurs when price makes higher highs but RSI (momentum) makes lower highs. This indicates that momentum is weakening even as price pushes higher—a warning of imminent reversal. ### Technical Logic ``` Bearish Divergence = TRUE when: ├── RSI is in overbought territory (> threshold) ├── AND RSI is declining (current < previous < prior) └── Indicates momentum exhaustion before price catches up ``` ### Visual Representation ``` Price: /\ /\ / \ / \ ← Higher high / \/ / / RSI: /\ / \ /\ / \/ \ ← Lower high (DIVERGENCE) / \ ════════════════════ Overbought (70) ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Penny stocks often push to new highs on weaker and weaker momentum - Divergence signals that fewer buyers are participating at each new high - Eventually, the lack of buying pressure leads to collapse ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | RSI Length | 14 | 5-30 | Standard RSI calculation period | | Overbought Level | 70 | 60-90 | RSI level considered overbought | | Divergence Lookback | 14 | 5-30 | Bars to look back for swing highs | --- ## 5. KEY LEVEL REJECTION TRACKER ### What It Detects Identifies rejections from significant price levels where shorts are likely to be concentrated: High of Day (HOD), premarket highs, and psychological levels (whole and half dollars). ### Technical Logic ``` Level Rejection = TRUE when: ├── Price touches key level (within 0.2% tolerance) ├── AND candle is bearish (close < open) ├── AND close is in lower portion of candle range │ ├── Key Levels Tracked: │ ├── High of Day (HOD) │ ├── Premarket High │ └── Psychological levels ($1.00, $1.50, $2.00, etc.) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` HOD ───────────────────────────────── ╱╲ ← Rejection ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ───────────────────────────────── PM High ───────────────────────────── ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - **HOD**: The high of day is where the most traders are trapped long. Failure to break HOD often triggers stop-loss cascades - **Premarket High**: Represents overnight enthusiasm; failure to exceed often means the "news" is priced in - **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers ($1, $2, $5) attract orders and act as natural resistance ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Track HOD Rejection | True | - | Monitor high of day | | Track Premarket High | True | - | Monitor premarket resistance | | Track Psychological Levels | True | - | Monitor round numbers | --- ## 6. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTOR ### What It Detects Identifies "bull traps" where price breaks above resistance but immediately fails and closes back below. This traps breakout buyers and often leads to accelerated selling. ### Technical Logic ``` Failed Breakout = TRUE when: ├── Price breaks above recent high (lookback period) ├── AND one of: │ ├── Same bar closes below the breakout level │ └── OR following bars show consecutive red candles ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ╱ ╲ ← False breakout Recent High ══╱════╲════════════════ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱ ╲ ← Trapped longs panic sell ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - Breakout traders enter on the break, providing exit liquidity for smart money - When the breakout fails, these traders become trapped and must exit - Their forced selling accelerates the decline - Penny stocks have thin order books, making failed breakouts especially violent ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Breakout Lookback | 5 | 2-15 | Bars to define "recent high" | | Confirmation Bars | 2 | 1-5 | Bars to confirm failure | --- ## 7. MOVING AVERAGE BREAKDOWN SYSTEM ### What It Detects Monitors exponential moving averages (EMAs) for bearish crossovers and price rejections. EMA crosses often signal trend changes, while rejections from EMAs indicate resistance. ### Technical Logic ``` MA Breakdown = TRUE when: ├── Bearish EMA cross (fast crosses below slow) └── OR EMA rejection (price tests EMA from below and fails) ``` ### Visual Representation ``` ╱╲ ← Rejection from EMA ╱ ╲ EMA 9 ═══════════╱════╲═══════════ ╲ EMA 20 ═══════════════════╲════════ ╲ Bearish cross ↓ ``` ### Why It Works on Penny Stocks - EMAs smooth out the noise and show underlying trend direction - When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, it signals momentum shift - Rejected attempts to reclaim EMAs show sellers are in control ### Key Settings | Parameter | Default | Range | Description | |-----------|---------|-------|-------------| | Fast EMA | 9 | 3-20 | Short-term trend | | Slow EMA | 20 | 10-50 | Medium-term trend | | Show EMAs | True | - | Display on chart | --- # Installation & Setup ## Step 1: Access Pine Editor 1.

For a $25,000 account, max risk = $250. ### The 2x Stop Rule If your stop gets hit twice on the same stock, stop trading it for the day. The pattern isn't working. ### The Daily Loss Limit Set a maximum daily loss (e.g., 3% of account). Stop trading if hit. ### The Size-Down Rule After a losing trade, reduce your next position size by 50%. Rebuild after a winner. ## Short-Specific Risks ### The Short Squeeze - Penny stocks can squeeze violently - ALWAYS use stops - Never "hope" a position comes back - Size appropriately for volatility ### The Hard-to-Borrow - Check borrow availability before trading - High borrow fees eat into profits - Some stocks become HTB mid-trade ### The Halt Risk - Penny stocks can halt on volatility - Position size for worst-case halt against you - Halts can open significantly higher --- # Best Practices ## DO's ✅ **Wait for multiple signals** - Single signals have lower accuracy ✅ **Trade with the trend** - Short when daily trend is down ✅ **Use the dashboard** - Check signal count before entering ✅ **Respect stops** - The indicator calculates them for a reason ✅ **Size appropriately** - Penny stocks are volatile; position small ✅ **Trade liquid stocks** - Volume ≥ 500K daily average ✅ **Know the catalyst** - Understand why the stock is moving ✅ **Take partial profits** - Secure gains at T1 ✅ **Journal your trades** - Track what works and what doesn't ✅ **Time your entries** - Best shorts often come 10:30-11:30 AM ## DON'Ts ❌ **Don't short strong stocks** - If it won't go down, don't force it ❌ **Don't fight the tape** - A stock going up can keep going up ❌ **Don't average up on losers** - Adding to losing shorts is dangerous ❌ **Don't ignore the dashboard** - It exists to help you ❌ **Don't overtrade** - Quality over quantity ❌ **Don't short into news** - Wait for the reaction first ❌ **Don't trade the first 5 minutes** - Too chaotic for reliable signals ❌ **Don't hold overnight** - Penny stock gaps can destroy accounts ❌ **Don't trade without stops** - Ever. ❌ **Don't trade on tilt** - After losses, take a break ## Optimal Trading Windows | Time (ET) | Quality | Notes | |-----------|---------|-------| | 9:30-9:35 | ⭐ | Too volatile, avoid | | 9:35-10:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Best shorts, morning runners exhaust | | 10:30-11:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Secondary exhaustion, HOD rejections | | 11:30-2:00 | ⭐⭐ | Midday lull, lower quality | | 2:00-3:00 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Afternoon setups develop | | 3:00-3:30 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | End of day momentum | | 3:30-4:00 | ⭐⭐ | Closing volatility, risky | --- # Troubleshooting ## Common Issues ### "Signals aren't appearing" - Check that the relevant system is enabled in settings - Ensure minimum signals threshold isn't too high - Verify the stock has sufficient volume for calculations ### "Too many false signals" - Increase minimum signals threshold - Use more conservative settings (see Settings section) - Focus on stocks with cleaner price action ### "Dashboard not showing" - Ensure "Show Signal Dashboard" is enabled - Check that your chart has enough space - Try a different dashboard position ### "VWAP line is missing" - VWAP requires intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.) - VWAP resets daily; won't show on daily+ charts - Ensure "Show VWAP Line" is enabled ### "Stop loss seems too tight/wide" - Adjust Stop ATR Multiple in Risk Management settings - Lower multiple = tighter stop - Higher multiple = wider stop ### "Alerts not triggering" - Verify alert is set to the correct indicator - Check that alert hasn't expired - Ensure notification settings are configured in TradingView ## Performance Optimization If the indicator is slow: 1.

4 EMA Flexible with CrossoversOverview This indicator is a highly customizable multi-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) suite designed for trend followers and momentum traders. Unlike standard EMA indicators, this script provides four independent EMAs, each with its own horizontal Offset parameter, allowing traders to shift averages forward or backward to account for market lag or cycles. It is specifically built for traders who use a "Triple EMA" or "Quad EMA" setup to filter trends across different timeframes while looking for precise entry triggers. Key Features 4 Independent EMAs: Fully customizable length and color for each average. Horizontal Offsets: Each EMA can be shifted horizontally (left or right) to align with specific market structures or to create "lead" indicators. Crossover Detection: The script automatically monitors EMA 1 and EMA 2 for crossovers. Golden Cross (Cross Up): Signals potential bullish momentum. Death Cross (Cross Down): Signals potential bearish momentum. Visual Labeling: Includes intuitive on-chart shapes (Triangle Up/Down) and text labels to ensure you never miss a crossover event. Alert Integration: Native support for TradingView alerts. You can set notifications for Bullish and Bearish crossovers with a single click. How to Use Trend Filtering: Use the 4th EMA (default 200) as your "Trend Filter." Only take Long signals when price is above this line and Short signals when below. Signal Generation: Use the first two EMAs (default 21 and 30) to generate entry signals. When they cross in the direction of the higher-order trend, it indicates a high-probability entry point. Offset Tuning: Use the Offset feature to shift your signal EMAs forward (positive values) if you want to avoid "whipsaws" in a sideways market. Settings EMA 1 & 2: Primary signal lines. Crossovers are calculated based on these two inputs. EMA 3 & 4: Secondary trend lines for support/resistance and trend direction. Offset: Adjusts the horizontal placement of the line (positive for right, negative for left).

EMA 1 & SALMA Intersection StrategyTrading Strategy: EMA 1 & SALMA Crossover System This strategy is a Trend-Following system that focuses on the direct interaction between the price (represented by EMA 1) and a smoothed trendline (SALMA). Instead of relying on the color changes of the indicator, it uses mechanical crossover signals to enter and exit trades. 1. Indicators Used EMA 1 (Exponential Moving Average): Since the period is 1, it effectively represents the Current Price. It reacts instantly to every market move. SALMA v3.0 (Smoothed Adaptive Lattice Moving Average): A double-smoothed moving average that acts as the "Base Line" or "Trend Support/Resistance." RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used as a Momentum Filter to ensure we don't trade against the market's strength. 2. Buy (Long) Entry Rules You enter a Long position when the following conditions are met: The Crossover: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses ABOVE the SALMA line. This indicates that the short-term momentum is shifting higher than the average trend. The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be above 50. This confirms that the buyers are in control and the upward move has enough strength. 3. Sell (Short) Entry Rules You enter a Short position when the following conditions are met: The Crossunder: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses BELOW the SALMA line. This indicates a breakdown in price action. The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be below 50. This confirms that the sellers are dominating and the downward momentum is real. 4. Key Advantages of This System Objectivity: You don't guess based on the color of the line; you wait for a clear physical break (cross) of the line. Precision: By using EMA 1, you get the earliest possible entry signal compared to slower moving averages. False Signal Protection: The RSI 50 filter prevents you from entering "weak" trades where the price crosses the line but lacks the volume or momentum to continue.

Arbitrage Detector [LuxAlgo]The Arbitrage Detector unveils hidden spreads in the crypto and forex markets. It compares the same asset on the main crypto exchanges and forex brokers and displays both prices and volumes on a dashboard, as well as the maximum spread detected on a histogram divided by four user-selected percentiles. This allows traders to detect unusual, high, typical, or low spreads. This highly customizable tool features automatic source selection (crypto or forex) based on the asset in the chart, as well as current and historical spread detection. It also features a dashboard with sortable columns and a historical histogram with percentiles and different smoothing options. 🔶 USAGE Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of price differences for the same asset across different markets. Arbitrage traders look for these discrepancies to profit from buying where it’s cheaper and selling where it’s more expensive to capture the spread. For begginers this tool is an easy way to understand how prices can vary between markets, helping you avoid trading at a disadvantage. For advanced traders it is a fast tool to spot arbitrage opportunities or inefficiencies that can be exploited for profit. Arbitrage opportunities are often short‑lived, but they can be highly profitable. By showing you where spreads exist, this tool helps traders: Understand market inefficiencies Avoid trading at unfavorable prices Identify potential profit opportunities across exchanges As we can see in the image, the tool consists of two main graphics: a dashboard on the main chart and a histogram in the pane below. Both are useful for understanding the behavior of the same asset on different crypto exchanges or forex brokers. The tool's main goal is to detect and categorize spread activity across the major crypto and forex sources. The comparison uses data from up to 19 crypto exchanges and 13 forex brokers. 🔹 Forex or Crypto The tool selects the appropriate sources (crypto exchanges or forex brokers) based on the asset in the chart. Traders can choose which one to use. The image shows the prices and volumes for Bitcoin and the euro across the main sources, sorted by descending average price over the last 20 days. 🔹 Dashboard The dashboard displays a list of all sources with four main columns: last price, average price, volume, and total volume. All four columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order, or left unsorted. A background gradient color is displayed for the sorted column. Price and volume delta information between the chart asset and each exchange can be enabled or disabled from the settings panel. 🔹 Histogram The histogram is excellent for visualizing historical values and comparing them with the asset price. In this case, we have the Euro/U.S. Dollar daily chart. As we can see, the unusual spread activity detected since 2016, with values at or above 98%, is usually a good indication of increased trader activity, which may result in a key price area where the market could turn around. By default, the histogram has the gradient and smoothing auto features enabled. The differences are visible in the chart above. On top is an adaptive moving average with higher values for unusual activity. At the bottom is an exponential moving average with a length of 9. The differences between the gradient and solid colors are evident. In the first case, the colors are in sync with the data values, becoming more yellow with higher values and more green with lower values. In the second case, the colors are solid and only distinguish data above or below the defined percentiles. 🔶 SETTINGS Sources: Choose between crypto exchanges, forex brokers, or automatic selection based on the asset in the chart. Average Length: Select the length for the price and volume averages. 🔹 Percentiles Percentile Length: Select the length for the percentile calculation, or enable the use of the full dataset. Enabling this option may result in runtime errors due to exceeding the allotted resources. Unusual % >: Select the unusual percentile. High % >: Select the high percentile. Typical % >: Select the typical percentile. 🔹 Dashboard Dashboard: Enable or disable the dashboard. Sorting: Select the sorting column and direction. Position: Select the dashboard location. Size: Select the dashboard size. Price Delta: Show the price difference between each exchange and the asset on the chart. Volume Delta: Show the volume difference between each exchange and the asset on the chart. 🔹 Style Unusual: Enable the plot of the unusual percentile and select its color. High: Enable the plot of the high percentile and select its color. Typical: Enable the plot of the typical percentile and select its color. Low: Select the color for the low percentile. Percentiles Auto Color: Enable auto color for all plotted percentiles. Histogram Gradient: Enable the gradient color for the histogram. Histogram Smoothing: Select the length of the EMA smoothing for the histogram or enable the Auto feature. The Auto feature uses an adaptive moving average with the data percent rank as the efficiency ratio.

BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies# BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies ## Overview This indicator combines two complementary Bollinger Band trading strategies that automatically adapt to market conditions. Strategy 1 capitalizes on trending markets with breakout-pullback-momentum setups, while Strategy 2 exploits mean reversion in ranging markets. Advanced filtering using ADX and BB Width ensures each strategy only fires in its optimal market environment. --- ## Strategy 1: Breakout → Pullback → Renewed Momentum (Long B / Short B) ### Best Market Conditions - **Trending Markets**: ADX ≥ 25 - **High Volatility**: BB Width ≥ 1.0× average - Directional price action with sustained momentum ### Entry Logic **Long B (Bullish Breakout):** 1. **Initial Breakout**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band with strong momentum 2. **Controlled Pullback**: Price pulls back 1-12 bars but holds above lower band (stays in trend) 3. **Defended Zone**: Pullback creates a support zone based on swing lows (validated by multiple touches) 4. **Renewed Momentum**: Price reclaims with green candle, volume confirmation, bullish MACD 5. **Position Check**: Entry must have cushion below upper band and room to reach targets **Short B (Bearish Breakdown):** - Mirror logic for downtrends: breakdown below lower band, pullback stays below upper band, renewed selling pressure ### Risk Management - **Stop Loss**: Lower of (zone floor/previous low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry) - **Targets**: - T1: Entry + 0.85R (0.85 × 1.5 ATR) - T2: Entry + 1.40R (1.40 × 1.5 ATR) - T3: Entry + 2.50R (2.50 × 1.5 ATR) - T4: Entry + 4.50R (4.50 × 1.5 ATR) - Risk is calculated using ATR (ATRX = 1.5 ATR), stop uses tighter of structural level (ATRL) or ATRX --- ## Strategy 2: Bollinger Band Mean Reversion (Long R / Short R) ### Best Market Conditions - **Ranging Markets**: ADX ≤ 20 - **Low Volatility**: BB Width ≤ 0.8× average - Price oscillating around the mean without sustained trend ### Entry Logic **Long R (Long Reversion):** 1. **Overextension**: Price breaks below lower Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes) 2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back above lower band (re-enters the range) 3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for: - **Green candle** (close > open) confirming bullish strength - Close above previous candle (close > close ) 4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade **Short R (Short Reversion):** 1. **Overextension**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes) 2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back below upper band (re-enters the range) 3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for: - **Red candle** (close < open) confirming bearish pressure - Close below previous candle (close < close ) 4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade ### Risk Management - **Stop Loss**: Lower of (previous high/low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry) - **Targets**: Same as Strategy 1 (0.85R, 1.4R, 2.5R, 4.5R based on 1.5 ATR) - Betting on return to Bollinger Band basis (mean) --- ## Advanced Filtering System ### ADX Filter (Average Directional Index) - **Purpose**: Measures trend strength vs choppy/ranging conditions - **Trending**: ADX ≥ 25 → Enables Strategy 1 (Breakout) - **Ranging**: ADX ≤ 20 → Enables Strategy 2 (Reversion) - **Neutral**: ADX 20-25 → No signals (indecisive market) ### BB Width Filter - **Purpose**: Confirms volatility expansion/contraction - **Wide Bands**: Current width ≥ 1.0× 50-bar average → Trending environment - **Narrow Bands**: Current width ≤ 0.8× 50-bar average → Ranging environment - **Logic**: Both ADX and BB Width must agree on market state before signaling ### Combined Logic - **Strategy 1 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows trending AND bands are wide - **Strategy 2 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows ranging AND bands are narrow - **Visual Display**: Table at bottom-right shows ADX value, BB Width ratio, and current market state --- ## Visual Elements ### Bollinger Bands - **Gray line**: 20-period SMA (basis/mean) - **Green line**: Upper band (basis + 2 standard deviations) - **Red line**: Lower band (basis - 2 standard deviations) ### Strategy 1 Markers - **Long B**: Green triangle below bar with "Long B" text - **Short B**: Orange triangle above bar with "Short B" text - **Defended Zones**: Green/red boxes showing pullback support/resistance areas - **Targets**: Green/orange crosses showing T1-T4 and stop loss levels ### Strategy 2 Markers - **Long R**: Blue label below bar with "Long R" text - **Short R**: Purple label above bar with "Short R" text - **Trade Levels**: Horizontal lines extending 50 bars forward - Blue solid = Entry price - Red dashed = Stop loss - Green/Orange dotted = Targets (T1-T4) ### Market State Table - **ADX**: Current value with color coding (green=trending, orange=ranging, gray=neutral) - **BB Width**: Ratio vs 50-bar average (e.g., "1.15x" = 15% wider than average) - **State**: TREND / RANGE / NEUTRAL classification --- ## Settings & Customization ### Bollinger Bands - **BB Length**: 20 (default) - period for moving average - **BB Std Dev**: 2.0 (default) - standard deviation multiplier ### ATR & Risk - **ATR Length**: 14 (default) - period for Average True Range calculation - All stop losses and targets are derived from 1.5 × ATR ### Trend/Range Filters - **ADX Length**: 14 (default) - **ADX Trending Threshold**: 25 (higher = stronger trend required) - **ADX Ranging Threshold**: 20 (lower = tighter ranging condition) - **BB Width Average Length**: 50 (period for comparing current width) - **BB Width Trend Multiplier**: 1.0 (width must be ≥ this × average) - **BB Width Range Multiplier**: 0.8 (width must be ≤ this × average) - **Use ADX Filter**: Toggle on/off - **Use BB Width Filter**: Toggle on/off ### Strategy 1 (Breakout-Momentum) - **Breakout Lookback**: 15 bars (how far back to search for initial breakout) - **Min Pullback Bars**: 1 (minimum consolidation period) - **Max Pullback Bars**: 12 (maximum consolidation period) - **Show Defended Zone**: Display support/resistance boxes - **Show Signals**: Display Long B / Short B markers - **Show Targets**: Display stop loss and target levels ### Strategy 2 (Reversion) - **Show Signals**: Display Long R / Short R markers - **Show Trade Levels**: Display entry, stop, and target lines --- ## How to Use This Indicator ### Step 1: Identify Market State - Check the table in bottom-right corner - **TREND**: Look for Strategy 1 signals (Long B / Short B) - **RANGE**: Look for Strategy 2 signals (Long R / Short R) - **NEUTRAL**: Wait for clearer conditions ### Step 2: Wait for Signal - Signals only fire when ALL conditions are met (structural + momentum + filters + room-to-target) - Signals are relatively rare but high-probability ### Step 3: Execute Trade - **Entry**: Close of signal candle - **Stop Loss**: Shown as red cross (Strategy 1) or red dashed line (Strategy 2) - **Targets**: Scale out at T1, T2, T3, T4 or hold for maximum R:R ### Step 4: Management - Consider moving stop to breakeven after T1 - Trail stop using swing lows/highs in Strategy 1 - Exit full position at T2-T3 in Strategy 2 (mean reversion has limited upside) --- ## Key Principles ### Why This Works 1. **Market Adaptation**: Uses right strategy for right conditions (trend vs range) 2. **Confluence**: Multiple confirmations required (structure + momentum + volatility + room) 3. **Risk-Defined**: Every trade has pre-calculated stop and targets based on ATR 4. **Probability**: Filters reduce noise and increase win rate by waiting for ideal setups ### Common Pitfalls to Avoid - ❌ Taking signals in NEUTRAL market state (indicators disagree) - ❌ Overriding the stop loss (it's calculated for a reason) - ❌ Expecting signals on every swing (quality over quantity) - ❌ Using Strategy 1 in ranging markets or Strategy 2 in trending markets - ❌ Ignoring the room-to-target check (signal won't fire if targets are blocked) ### Complementary Analysis This indicator works best when combined with: - Higher timeframe trend analysis - Key support/resistance levels - Volume analysis - Market structure (swing highs/lows) - Risk management rules (position sizing, max daily loss, etc.) --- ## Technical Details ### Indicators Used - **Bollinger Bands**: 20-period SMA ± 2 standard deviations - **ATR**: 14-period Average True Range for volatility measurement - **ADX**: 14-period Average Directional Index for trend strength - **EMA**: 10 and 20-period exponential moving averages (Strategy 1 filter) - **MACD**: 12/26/9 settings (Strategy 1 momentum confirmation) - **Volume**: Compared to 15-bar average (Strategy 1 confirmation) ### Calculation Methodology - **ATRL** (Structural Risk): Previous swing high/low or defended zone boundary - **ATRX** (ATR Risk): 1.5 × 14-period ATR from entry price - **Stop Loss**: Minimum of ATRL and ATRX (tightest protection) - **Targets**: Always calculated from ATRX (consistent R-multiples) - **BB Width Ratio**: Current BB width ÷ 50-period SMA of BB width --- ## Performance Notes ### Strengths - Adapts to changing market conditions automatically - Clear, objective entry and exit criteria - Pre-defined risk on every trade - Filters reduce false signals significantly - Works across multiple timeframes and instruments ### Limitations - Signals are infrequent (by design - quality over quantity) - Requires patience to wait for all conditions to align - May miss explosive moves if pullback doesn't form properly (Strategy 1) - Ranging markets can transition to trending (Strategy 2 risk) - Filters may delay entry in fast-moving markets ### Best Timeframes - **Strategy 1**: 1H, 4H, Daily (needs time for proper pullback structure) - **Strategy 2**: 15M, 30M, 1H (mean reversion works best intraday) - Both strategies can work on any timeframe if market conditions are right ### Best Instruments - **Liquid markets**: Major stocks, indices, forex pairs, liquid crypto - **Sufficient volatility**: ATR should be meaningful relative to price - **Clear trend/range cycles**: Markets that respect technical levels --- ## IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ### Risk Warning **TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.** This indicator is provided for **educational and informational purposes only**.

投資の運勢※日本語説明文は英文の下にあります。 This indicator is a dashboard that simplifies the market’s current condition as a “fortune” by comprehensively evaluating the strength of multiple technical indicators. It allows you to check important analytical results at a glance without cluttering the chart with unnecessary lines. 🎯 How it works: Quantifying and integrating multiple indicators At the core of this indicator is the process of quantifying four key aspects of the market—trend, momentum, volatility, and volume—assigning weights to each, and calculating an overall score. How to use it This indicator functions as a table (dashboard) displayed on your chart. Check your “fortune for today” to get an overall view of the market’s current risk-reward profile. Analyze the rows for each indicator to understand the factors behind the fortune. For example: “The fortune is ‘moderately favorable,’ but volatility is very high (numerical value is large), which reduces the overall score due to its weighted impact.” The table uses white text on a dark background, making it easy to read regardless of the chart’s color scheme. ⚙️ Customization (Settings Panel) In the indicator’s settings panel, you can make the following key adjustments: Type of Moving Average: Turning on use_ema allows the trend calculation to use EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Weight Adjustment: You can adjust the weights of each indicator (e.g., w_trend, w_momentum) to modify the scoring logic according to your strategy (e.g., trend-focused, momentum-focused). Use this “fortune chart” as a supplementary tool to objectively assess the current market conditions, rather than as the final decision-maker for trades. ---------------ここから日本語説明-------------------------- このインジケーターは、複数のテクニカル指標の強さを総合的に評価し、現在の市場の状況を**「運勢」**としてシンプルに表示するダッシュボードです。チャート上に邪魔なラインを表示せず、重要な分析結果をひと目で確認できます。 🎯 仕組み：複数の指標を数値化して統合 このインジケーターの核となるのは、市場の4つの主要な側面（トレンド、モメンタム、ボラティリティ、出来高）を数値化し、それぞれに重み付けをして総合スコアを算出する点です。 活用方法 このインジケーターは、チャートに表示される**テーブル（ダッシュボード）**として機能します。 「今日の運勢」を確認し、現在の市場のリスク・リワードの全体像を把握します。 各指標の行を見て、運勢の根拠となった要素を分析します。 例：「運勢が中吉だが、ボラティリティが非常に高い（数値が大きい）ため、重みが働いてスコアが抑えられている」といった分析が可能です。 テーブルは文字が白で背景が暗い色に統一されているため、どの背景色でも見やすくなっています。 ⚙️ カスタマイズ（設定パネル） インジケーターの設定画面で、以下の重要な調整が可能です。 移動平均線の種類: use_ema をONにすると、トレンド計算に**EMA（指数移動平均）**を使用できます。 重み調整: 各指標の w_trend, w_momentum などを調整することで、ご自身の戦略（例：トレンド重視、モメンタム重視）に合わせてスコアの算出ロジックを変更できます。 この「占いチャート」を、トレード判断の最終決定ではなく、現状の市場を客観的に評価する補助ツールとしてご活用ください。

CandelaCharts - Trend Oscillator 📝 Overview Trend Oscillator is a simple yet effective trend identification tool that uses the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine market direction. It calculates the spread between a fast and slow EMA, applies a bias multiplier, and smooths the result to produce a clean oscillator that oscillates above and below a zero line. When the oscillator is above zero, the trend is considered bullish (upward); when below zero, it's bearish (downward). The indicator provides clear visual feedback through color-coded plots and optional price bar coloring, making it easy to identify trend direction at a glance. 📦 Features This section highlights the core capabilities you'll rely on most. Dual EMA system — Uses a fast EMA (default 9) and slow EMA (default 21) to capture trend momentum and direction. Bias multiplier — Applies a small multiplier (default 1.001) to the EMA spread, providing a slight bias that helps filter noise and confirm trend strength. Smoothed output — Applies an additional EMA smoothing (default 5 periods) to the raw spread, creating a cleaner, less choppy oscillator line. Zero-line reference — Plots a horizontal zero line that serves as the critical threshold between bullish and bearish conditions. Color-coded visualization — Automatically colors the oscillator line green/lime when bullish (above zero) and red when bearish (below zero). Price bar coloring — Optional feature to color price bars based on the current trend direction, providing immediate visual context on the main chart. Customizable parameters — Adjust EMA lengths, bias multiplier, smoothing period, and colors to match your trading style and timeframe. ⚙️ Settings Use these controls to fine-tune the oscillator's sensitivity, appearance, and behavior. Fast EMA Length — Period for the fast exponential moving average (default: 9). Lower values make the indicator more responsive to price changes. Slow EMA Length — Period for the slow exponential moving average (default: 21). Higher values create a smoother baseline for trend identification. Bias Multiplier — Multiplier applied to the EMA spread (default: 1.001). Small adjustments can help filter minor whipsaws and confirm trend strength. Smoothing Length — Period for smoothing the raw spread calculation (default: 5). Higher values create a smoother oscillator line but may lag price action. Colors — Set the bullish (default: lime) and bearish (default: red) colors for the oscillator line. Color Price Bars — Toggle to enable/disable coloring of price bars based on the current trend direction. ⚡️ Showcase Oscillator Line Bar Coloring Divergences 📒 Usage Follow these steps to effectively use Trend Oscillator for trend identification and trading decisions. 1) Select your timeframe — The indicator works across all timeframes, but higher timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly) typically provide more reliable trend signals with less noise. Lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) may produce more frequent but potentially less reliable signals. Consider your trading style: swing traders benefit from daily/weekly charts, while day traders can use 15m/1h timeframes. Always align the indicator's sensitivity with your timeframe choice. 2) Adjust EMA lengths — The default 9/21 combination works well for most cases. For faster signals, try 5/13; for slower, more conservative signals, try 12/26 or 20/50. Match the lengths to your trading style and timeframe. 3) Interpret the zero line — When the oscillator is above zero (green/lime), the trend is bullish. When below zero (red), the trend is bearish. The further from zero, the stronger the trend. 4) Watch for crossovers — Trend changes occur when the oscillator crosses the zero line. A cross from below to above indicates a shift to bullish; from above to below indicates a shift to bearish. 5) Identify divergences — Divergences can signal potential trend reversals. Bullish divergence : price makes lower lows while the oscillator makes higher lows (suggests weakening bearish momentum). Bearish divergence : price makes higher highs while the oscillator makes lower highs (suggests weakening bullish momentum). Divergences are most reliable when they occur near extreme levels and should be confirmed with price action before taking trades. 6) Use smoothing wisely — The smoothing parameter helps reduce noise but adds lag. Lower smoothing (3-5) is more responsive; higher smoothing (7-10) is more stable but slower to react. 7) Combine with price action — Use the oscillator to confirm trend direction, then look for entry opportunities when price pulls back in the direction of the trend. The optional price bar coloring helps visualize trend alignment on the main chart. 8) Filter with bias multiplier — The bias multiplier can help reduce false signals. Experiment with values between 1.000 and 1.005 to find the sweet spot for your instrument and timeframe. 🚨 Alerts There are no built-in alerts in this version. ⚠️ Disclaimer Trading involves significant risk, and many participants may incur losses.

NEXT GEN INSPIRED BY OLIVER VELEZDYOR NFA 1. Initial Setup & Application Load the Strategy to your desired chart (e.g., EURUSD M5, as suggested by the script's backtest). Overlay: Ensure the script is set to overlay=true (which it is) so the signals and Moving Averages plot directly on the price chart. Equity Management: Review the initial strategy settings for capital and position sizing: Initial Capital: Defaults to 10,000. Default Qty Type: Set to strategy.percent_of_equity (22%), meaning 22% of your available equity is used per trade. Adjust this percentage based on your personal risk tolerance. 2. Reviewing Key Indicator Inputs The script uses default values that are optimized, but you can adjust them in the settings panel: Fast EMA: Defaults to 9 (e.g., a 9-period Exponential Moving Average). Slow EMA: Defaults to 21 (e.g., a 21-period Exponential Moving Average). These EMAs define the short-term trend. ATR: Defaults to 14 (Average True Range). Used to dynamically calculate volatility for SL/TP distances. Final R:R: Defaults to 4.5 (minimum R:R required for a signal). This is the core of the strategy's high reward goal. 3. Interpreting Entry Signals A trade signal is generated only when all conditions—EMA trend, "Elephant Logic" momentum, and non-ranging market—are met. Long Signal: Appears as a green triangle (▲) below the bar, labeled "COMBO". Short Signal: Appears as a red triangle (▼) above the bar, labeled "COMBO". Live Plan: Upon signal, a detailed label is immediately plotted on the chart showing the FULL BATTLE PLAN: SL: Calculated Stop Loss price. TP: Calculated Take Profit price (based on the Final R:R). Risk/Reward Pips: The calculated pips for the trade's risk and reward. R:R = 1:4.5: The exact Risk-to-Reward ratio. 4. Understanding Market Conditions & Visuals The script provides visuals to help you understand the current market state: Trend EMAs: The 9 EMA (green) and 21 EMA (purple/magenta) are plotted to show the underlying trend. Long trades only fire when Price > 9 EMA > 21 EMA. Short trades only fire when Price < 9 EMA < 21 EMA. Ranging Market (Rejection): Bars turn a light gray/silver when the proprietary "Reject Ranging" logic is active, indicating a low-volatility period. No new trades will be taken during these bars. Momentum Bar: Bars turn a gold/yellow color when the "Elephant Logic" (high-momentum, large-body candles over 2-3 periods) is detected, highlighting powerful price movement. 5. Execution and Exit Logic The strategy handles entry, scaling, and exit automatically: Entry: A market order is placed (strategy.entry) immediately upon the bar where the longSetup or shortSetup condition is met. Scaling Out (+1R): If the trade moves favorably by an amount equal to the initial risk (1R), the script closes a portion of the position (strategy.close with comment "+1R"). This partial exit locks in profit equivalent to the initial risk. Re-entry (Pyramiding): After the +1R exit, the strategy attempts a re-entry (LONG RE/SHORT RE diamond plot) if the price meets certain criteria near the 9 EMA, trying to capitalize on further trend continuation. Final Exits: Take Profit: A limit order is set at the calculated TP level (stopDist * minRR). Stop Loss: A stop order is set at the calculated SL level (stopDist * 1.3), slightly wider than the initial SL distance, likely to account for spread/slippage, ensuring the maximum loss is defined. Trailing Stop: A trailing stop is applied to the re-entry positions (LONG RE/SHORT RE) to protect profits as the market moves further in the direction of the trade.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations. The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves. What Makes This Different? Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further: Multi-Stage Tracking Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session. Active Trade Management When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes. Cycle Detection Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry). Failed Breakout Warning If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade. Position Sizing Calculator Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations. Advanced Filtering Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate. Core Features Explained ### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels: ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile) ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular) ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable) ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed) Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each. How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage. ### 2. Breakout Detection When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears: BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts. Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get. ### 3. Retest Detection After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates: The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout Confirmation that the level is significant The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings). ### 4. Failed Breakout Detection If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange. This warns you: The breakout lacked conviction Consider exiting if already in the trade Wait for better setup Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested. ### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management) When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing: Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level) Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark. Lines freeze (stop updating) when: Stop loss is hit The final enabled take-profit is hit End of trading session (optional setting) ### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information: Current ORB stage and range size Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down) Volume confirmation (if filter enabled) Trend alignment (if filter enabled) Entry and Stop Loss prices All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages Risk/Reward ratio Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount Position Sizing Example: If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500). ### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap) Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa). When enabled, this filter: Detects bullish and bearish FVGs Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable. Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default. ### 8. Volume & Trend Filters Volume Filter: Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain. Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average) Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters Dashboard shows current volume ratio Trend Filter: Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from: VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering ### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced) Purpose: Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal. This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals. How it works: - After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%) - Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed - If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway Settings: Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced) Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard) When to use: - Choppy markets with many fake breakouts - When you want higher quality signals - Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation Trade-off: - Better signal quality - May miss some valid fast moves - Slight entry delay How to Use This Indicator ### For Beginners - Simple Setup Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended) Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy Basic Trading Plan: Wait for a clear breakout label Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late) Place stop loss where the red line indicates Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%) ### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30) Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets) Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones) Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing Advanced Strategy Example: Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart) Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x Enable Trend filter using VWAP Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction) Enter on retest if you missed the initial break ### Timeframe Recommendations 5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto 15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular) 30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time 60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

ATR: Based on volatility (best for most cases) - ORB %: Fixed % of ORB range - Swing: Recent swing high/low - Safer: Widest of all methods ATR Length & Multiplier: Controls ATR stop distance (14 period, 1.5x is standard) ORB Stop %: Percentage beyond ORB for stop (20% is balanced) Swing Bars: Lookback period for swing high/low (3 is recent) ### TP/SL LINES Section Show TP/SL Lines: Display horizontal lines on chart Label Format: "Short" = minimal text, "Detailed" = shows prices Freeze Lines at EOD: Stop extending lines at session close ### DASHBOARD Section Show Info Panel: Display the metrics dashboard Theme: Dark or Light colors Position: Where to place dashboard on chart Toggle rows: Show/hide specific information rows Calculate Position Size: Enable the position sizing calculator Risk Mode: Risk fixed $ amount or % of account Account Size: Your total trading capital Risk %: Percentage to risk per trade (0.5-1% recommended) ### VOLUME FILTER Section Enable Volume Filter: Require volume confirmation MA Length: Average period (20 is standard) Min Volume: Required multiplier (1.5x = 50% above average) Strong Volume: Multiplier that bypasses other filters (2.5x) ### TREND FILTER Section Enable Trend Filter: Require trend alignment Trend Mode: Method to determine trend (VWAP is simple and effective) Custom EMA Length: If using EMA mode (50 for swing, 20 for day trading) SuperTrend settings: Period and Multiplier if using SuperTrend mode ### HIGHER TIMEFRAME Section Check Daily Trend: Display higher timeframe bias in dashboard Timeframe: What TF to check (D = daily, recommended) Method: Price vs MA (stable) or Candle Direction (reactive) MA Period: EMA length for Price vs MA method (20 is balanced) Min Strength %: Minimum strength threshold for HTF bias to be considered - For "Price vs MA": Minimum distance (%) from moving average - For "Candle Direction": Minimum candle body size (%) - 0.5% is balanced - increase for stricter filtering - Lower values = more signals, higher values = only strong trends ### ALERTS Section Enable Alerts: Master switch (must be ON to use any alerts) Breakout Alerts: Notify on ORB breakouts Retest Alerts: Notify when price retests after breakout Failed Break Alerts: Notify on failed breakouts Stage Complete Alerts: Notify when each ORB stage finishes forming After enabling desired alert types, click "Create Alert" button, select this indicator, choose "Any alert() function call". ## Tips & Best Practices ### General Trading Tips ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs) First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective ### Position Sizing Best Practices Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size Update your account size monthly as it grows Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling ### Take Profit Strategy Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2 Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3 Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward) After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days ### Filter Combinations Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality) Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency) Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality) Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto) Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter) ### Common Mistakes to Avoid Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU ## Pros and Cons ### Advantages Complete all-in-one solution - from signal to position sizing Multiple timeframes tracked simultaneously Visual clarity - easy to see what's happening Cycle tracking catches opportunities others miss Built-in risk management eliminates guesswork Customizable filters for different trading styles No repainting - what you see is locked in Works across multiple markets (stocks, forex, crypto) ### Limitations Intraday strategy only - doesn't work on daily charts Requires active monitoring during first 1-2 hours of session Not suitable for after-hours or extended sessions by default Can produce many signals in choppy markets (use filters) Dashboard can be overwhelming for complete beginners Performance depends on market conditions (trends vs ranges) Requires understanding of risk management concepts ### Best For Day traders who can watch the first 1-2 hours of market open Traders who want systematic entry/exit rules Those learning proper position sizing and risk management Active traders comfortable with multiple signals per day Anyone trading liquid instruments with clear sessions ### Not Ideal For Swing traders holding multi-day positions Set-and-forget / passive investors Traders who can't watch market open Complete beginners unfamiliar with trading concepts Low volume / illiquid instruments ## Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why are no signals appearing? A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily. Q: What's the best ORB stage to use? A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together. Q: Should I enable all the filters? A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals. Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use? A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk. Q: Can I use this for swing trading? A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead. Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes? A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete. Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"? A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart. Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex? A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually. Q: How much capital do I need to use this? A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital. Q: Can I backtest this strategy? A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic. Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label? A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup. Q: What's a good win rate to expect? A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates. Q: Does this work on crypto? A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC). ## Credits & Transparency ### Development This indicator was developed with the assistance of AI technology to implement complex ORB trading logic.
