Hilly's Advanced Crypto Scalping Strategy - 5 Min ChartTo determine the "best" input parameters for the Advanced Crypto Scalping Strategy on a 5-minute chart, we need to consider the goals of optimizing for profitability, minimizing false signals, and adapting to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies. The default parameters in the script are a starting point, but the optimal values depend on the specific cryptocurrency pair, market conditions, and your risk tolerance. Below, I'll provide recommended input values based on common practices in crypto scalping, along with reasoning for each parameter. I’ll also suggest how to fine-tune them using TradingView’s backtesting and optimization tools.
Recommended Input Parameters
These values are tailored for a 5-minute chart for liquid cryptocurrencies like BTC/USD or ETH/USD on exchanges like Binance or Coinbase. They aim to balance signal frequency and accuracy for day trading.
Fast EMA Length (emaFastLen): 9
Reasoning: A 9-period EMA is commonly used in scalping to capture short-term price movements while remaining sensitive to recent price action. It reacts faster than the default 10, aligning with the 5-minute timeframe.
Slow EMA Length (emaSlowLen): 21
Reasoning: A 21-period EMA provides a good balance for identifying the broader trend on a 5-minute chart. It’s slightly longer than the default 20 to reduce noise while confirming the trend direction.
RSI Length (rsiLen): 14
Reasoning: The default 14-period RSI is a standard choice for momentum analysis. It works well for detecting overbought/oversold conditions without being too sensitive on short timeframes.
RSI Overbought (rsiOverbought): 75
Reasoning: Raising the overbought threshold to 75 (from 70) reduces false sell signals in strong bullish trends, which are common in crypto markets.
RSI Oversold (rsiOversold): 25
Reasoning: Lowering the oversold threshold to 25 (from 30) filters out weaker buy signals, ensuring entries occur during stronger reversals.
MACD Fast Length (macdFast): 12
Reasoning: The default 12-period fast EMA for MACD is effective for capturing short-term momentum shifts in crypto, aligning with scalping goals.
MACD Slow Length (macdSlow): 26
Reasoning: The default 26-period slow EMA is a standard setting that works well for confirming momentum trends without lagging too much.
MACD Signal Smoothing (macdSignal): 9
Reasoning: The default 9-period signal line is widely used and provides a good balance for smoothing MACD crossovers on a 5-minute chart.
Bollinger Bands Length (bbLen): 20
Reasoning: The default 20-period Bollinger Bands are effective for identifying volatility breakouts, which are key for scalping in crypto markets.
Bollinger Bands Multiplier (bbMult): 2.0
Reasoning: A 2.0 multiplier is standard and captures most price action within the bands. Increasing it to 2.5 could reduce signals but improve accuracy in highly volatile markets.
Stop Loss % (slPerc): 0.8%
Reasoning: A tighter stop loss of 0.8% (from 1.0%) suits the high volatility of crypto, helping to limit losses on false breakouts while keeping risk manageable.
Take Profit % (tpPerc): 1.5%
Reasoning: A 1.5% take-profit target (from 2.0%) aligns with scalping’s goal of capturing small, frequent gains. Crypto markets often see quick reversals, so a smaller target increases the likelihood of hitting profits.
Use Candlestick Patterns (useCandlePatterns): True
Reasoning: Enabling candlestick patterns (e.g., engulfing, hammer) adds confirmation to signals, reducing false entries in choppy markets.
Use Volume Filter (useVolumeFilter): True
Reasoning: The volume filter ensures signals occur during high-volume breakouts, which are more likely to sustain in crypto markets.
Signal Arrow Size (signalSize): 2.0
Reasoning: Increasing the arrow size to 2.0 (from 1.5) makes buy/sell signals more visible on the chart, especially on smaller screens or volatile price action.
Background Highlight Transparency (bgTransparency): 85
Reasoning: A slightly higher transparency (85 from 80) keeps the background highlights subtle but visible, avoiding chart clutter.
How to Apply These Parameters
Copy the Script: Use the Pine Script provided in the previous response.
Paste in TradingView: Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, paste the code, and click "Add to Chart."
Set Parameters: In the strategy settings, manually input the recommended values above or adjust them via the input fields.
Test on a 5-Minute Chart: Apply the strategy to a liquid crypto pair (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT) on a 5-minute chart.
Fine-Tuning for Optimal Performance
To find the absolute best parameters for your specific trading pair and market conditions, use TradingView’s Strategy Tester and optimization features:
Backtesting:
Run the strategy on historical data for your chosen pair (e.g., BTC/USDT on Binance).
Check metrics like Net Profit, Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Max Drawdown in the Strategy Tester.
Focus on a sample period of at least 1–3 months to capture various market conditions (bull, bear, sideways).
Parameter Optimization:
In the Strategy Tester, click the settings gear next to the strategy name.
Enable optimization for key inputs like emaFastLen (test range: 7–12), emaSlowLen (15–25), slPerc (0.5–1.5), and tpPerc (1.0–3.0).
Run the optimization to find the combination with the highest net profit or best Sharpe ratio, but avoid over-optimization (curve-fitting) by testing on out-of-sample data.
Market-Specific Adjustments:
Volatile Pairs (e.g., DOGE/USDT): Use tighter stop losses (e.g., 0.5–0.7%) and smaller take-profit targets (e.g., 1.0–1.2%) to account for rapid price swings.
Stable Pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT): Slightly wider stop losses (e.g., 1.0–1.2%) and take-profit targets (e.g., 1.8–2.5%) may work better.
Trending Markets: Increase emaSlowLen (e.g., to 25–30) to follow stronger trends.
Choppy Markets: Tighten bbMult (e.g., to 1.8) and lower rsiOverbought/rsiOversold (e.g., to 70/30) to filter noise.
Forward Testing:
After backtesting, run the strategy in real-time on a demo account for 1–2 weeks to validate performance under current market conditions.
Important Notes
No Universal "Best" Numbers: Optimal parameters vary by crypto pair, exchange, and market conditions (e.g., bull vs. bear market). The suggested values are a starting point based on common scalping practices.
Risk Management: Never risk more than 1–2% of your account per trade. Adjust position sizing in TradingView’s strategy settings to align with your risk tolerance.
Market Volatility: Crypto markets are highly volatile. Test the strategy on your specific pair and adjust parameters if signals are too frequent or too rare.
Not Financial Advice: This is an educational tool. Backtest thoroughly and use a demo account before trading with real funds.
If you want me to generate a chart showing backtest performance for specific parameters or to tweak the script further (e.g., adding more indicators or adjusting signal logic), let me know!can you add clear buy ans sell signs above the candles in this codeTo add clear buy and sell signals above the candles in the provided Pine Script, I'll modify the existing code to include prominent text labels directly above (for sell signals) and below (for buy signals) the candles. These labels will be larger, color-coded, and positioned to avoid clutter, ensuring they are easily visible on the chart. The core strategy logic (EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, candlestick patterns, and volume filter) will remain unchanged, and I'll reuse the same artifact_id since this is an update to the previous script.AdvancedCryptoScalpingStrategy.pinex-pine

Bollinger Bands Reversal + IBS Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Bollinger Bands Reversal Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price deviates below the lower Bollinger Band and the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) indicates oversold conditions. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the IBS indicates overbought conditions. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT ARE BOLLINGER BANDS?
Bollinger Bands consist of three lines:
- **Basis**: A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the price over a specified period.
- **Upper Band**: The basis plus a multiple of the standard deviation of the price.
- **Lower Band**: The basis minus a multiple of the standard deviation of the price.
Bollinger Bands help identify periods of high volatility and potential reversal points.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is a measure of where the closing price is relative to the high and low of the bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
A low IBS value (e.g., below 0.2) indicates that the close is near the low of the bar, suggesting oversold conditions. A high IBS value (e.g., above 0.8) indicates that the close is near the high of the bar, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The IBS value is below 0.2, indicating oversold conditions.
The close price is below the lower Bollinger Band.
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the IBS value exceeds 0.8, indicating overbought conditions. This prompts the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Length: The lookback period for calculating the Bollinger Bands. Default is 20.
Multiplier: The number of standard deviations used to calculate the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. Default is 2.0.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for mean-reverting markets and performs best when the price frequently deviates from the Bollinger Bands.
It is sensitive to oversold and overbought conditions, as indicated by the IBS, which helps to identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Length and Multiplier parameters for specific instruments.
[KL] Bollinger Bands Consolidation StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position based on the volatility of prices implied by indicators of (a) Bollinger bands, and (b) ATR.
Application of Bollinger bands ("BOLL")
Using plain vanilla settings for BOLL (i.e. 20 period moving average, and 2 standard deviations of closing prices), we are interested to know about the shape of the area that is bounded by the upper and lower bands.
In theory, consolidation happens when volatility of price decreases. Visually speaking, this is represented by the narrowing of the upper/lower bands. This strategy considers the narrowing of BOLL bands as the primary indicator for long-entry.
Application of ATRs (as confirmations)
Firstly, to confirm that BOLL bands are narrowing (as mentioned above), the ATR at a potential point of entry is compared against the standard deviation of prices over BOLL's lookback periods. Once again, visualizing the shape of BOLL bands during consolidation, we assume the lines begin to squeeze when the distance between the center line and upper/lower band is less than two current ATRs.
Secondly, this strategy looks into the moving average of ATRs to assure that prices are not too choppy when entering into market. If the moving average of ATR decreases at a point in time such that all the above conditions are met, then we can assert that the volatility of price is decreasing.
Thirdly, ATR is used for determining the size of our trailing stop loss. We will keep the multiplier fixed at two.
Bollinger Bands Modified (Stormer)This strategy is based and shown by trader and investor Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer".
Overview
The strategy uses two indicators Bollinger Bands and EMA (optional for EMA).
Calculates Bollinger Bands, EMA, highest high, and lowest low values based on the input parameters, evaluating the conditions to determine potential long and short entry signals.
The conditions include checks for crossovers and crossunders of the price with the upper and lower Bollinger Bands, as well as the position of the price relative to the EMA.
The script also incorporates the option to add an inside bar pattern check for additional information.
Entry Position
Long Position:
Price cross over the superior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is above EMA.
Short Position:
Price cross under the inferior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is under EMA.
Risk Management
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is calculated based on the input highest high (for short position) and lowest low (for long position).
It gets the length based on the input from the last candles to set which is the highest high and which is the lowest low.
Take Profit:
According to the author, the profit target should be at least 1:1.6 the risk, so to have the strategy mathematically positive.
The profit target is configured input, can be increased or decreased.
It calculates the take profit based on the price of the stop loss with the profit target input.

Bollinger Bands & Fibonacci StrategyThe Bollinger Bands & Fibonacci Strategy is a powerful technical analysis trading strategy designed to identify potential entry and exit points in financial markets. This strategy combines two widely used indicators, Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci retracement levels, to assist traders in making informed trading decisions.
Key Features:
Bollinger Bands: This strategy utilizes Bollinger Bands, a volatility-based indicator that consists of an upper band, a lower band, and a middle (basis) line. Bollinger Bands help traders visualize price volatility and potential reversal points.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels: Fibonacci retracement levels are essential tools for identifying potential support and resistance levels in price charts. This strategy incorporates Fibonacci retracement levels, including the 0% and 100% levels, to aid in pinpointing key price levels.
Long and Short Signals: The strategy generates long (buy) and short (sell) signals based on specific conditions derived from Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci levels. Long signals are generated when price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band and when the price is above the Fibonacci low level. Short signals are generated when price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band and when the price is below the Fibonacci high level.
Position Management: To prevent multiple concurrent positions of the same type (long or short), the strategy employs position management logic. It tracks open positions and ensures that only one position type is active at a time.
Exit Conditions: The strategy includes customizable exit conditions to manage and close open positions. Traders can fine-tune exit criteria to align with their risk management and profit-taking strategies.
User-Friendly: This strategy script is user-friendly and can be easily integrated into the TradingView platform, allowing traders to apply it to various financial instruments and timeframes.
Usage:
Traders and investors can apply the Bollinger Bands & Fibonacci Strategy to a wide range of financial markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It can be adapted to different timeframes to suit various trading styles, from day trading to swing trading.
Disclaimer:
Trading carries inherent risks, and this strategy is no exception. It is essential to use proper risk management techniques, including stop-loss orders, and thoroughly backtest the strategy on historical data before implementing it in live trading.
The Bollinger Bands & Fibonacci Strategy is a valuable tool for technical traders seeking well-defined entry and exit points based on robust indicators. It can serve as a foundation for traders to build and customize their trading strategies according to their individual preferences and risk tolerance.
Feel free to customize this description to add any additional details or specifications unique to your strategy. When publishing your strategy on a trading platform like TradingView, a clear and informative description can help potential users understand and use your strategy effectively.
Bollinger Bands Breakout StrategyBollinger Bands Breakout Strategy is the strategy version of Bollinger Bands Filter study version, which can be found under my scripts page. The strategy goes long when price closes above the upper band and goes short signal when price closes below the lower band.
Bollinger Bands is a classic indicator that uses a simple moving average of 20 periods, along with plots of upper and lower bands that are 2 standard deviations away from the basis line. These bands help visualize price volatility and trend based on where the price is, in relation to the bands.
The strategy doesn't take into account any other parameters such as Volume / RSI / Fundamentals etc, so user must use discretion based on confirmations from another indicator or based on fundamentals. The strategy results are based on purely long and short trades and doesn't take into account any user defined targets or stop losses.
The strategy works great when the price closes above/below upper/lower bands with continuation on next bar. It is definitely useful to have this strategy or the Bollinger Bands filter along with other indicators to get early glimpse of breach/fail of bands on candle close during BB squeeze or based on volatility .
This can be used on Heikin Ashi candles for spotting trends, but HA candles are not recommended for trade entries as they don't reflect true price of the asset.
The strategy settings default is 55 SMA and 1 standard deviation for Bollinger Bands filter, but these can be changed from settings.
It is definitely worth reading the 22 rules of Bollinger Bands written by John Bollinger if interested in trading Bollinger Bands successfully.
Volatility Range Breakout Strategy [wbburgin]The "Volatility Range Breakout Strategy" uses deviations of high-low volatility to determine bullish and bearish breakouts.
HOW IT WORKS
The volatility function uses the high-low range of a lookback period, divided by the average of that range, to determine the likelihood that price will break in a specific direction.
High and low ranges are determined by the relative volatility compared to the current closing price. The high range, for example, is the (volatility * close) added to the close, the low range is this value subtracted by the close.
A volatility-weighted moving average is taken of these high and low ranges to form high and low bands.
Finally, breakouts are identified once the price closes above or below these bands. An upwards breakout (bullish) occurs when the price breaks above the upper band, while a downwards breakout (bearish) occurs when the price breaks below the lower band. Positions can be closed either by when the price falls out of its current band ("Range Crossover" in settings under 'Exit Type') or when the price falls below or above the volatility MA (default because this allows us to catch trends for longer).
INPUTS/SETTINGS
The AVERAGE LENGTH is the period for the volatility MA and the weighted volatility bands.
The VOLATILITY LENGTH is how far the lookback should be for highs/lows for the volatility calculation.
Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions.
High Low Bands Backtest As the name suggests, High low bands are two bands surrounding the underlying’s
price. These bands are generated from the triangular moving averages calculated
from the underlying’s price. The triangular moving average is, in turn, shifted
up and down by a fixed percentage. The bands, thus formed, are termed as High
low bands. The main theme and concept of High low bands is based upon the triangular
moving average.

[KL] Bollinger bands + RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on two of my previous scripts, one called “RSI14 + 10”; the other one called “Bollinger Bands Consolidation”. At its core, it combines the main setups from each of those two scripts but excludes the auxiliary features that were considered as experimental. This strategy will identify periods of squeeze, and then enter long during consolidation with a trailing stop loss set.
Primary indicator will be the Bollinger Bands. By comparing the width of the BBs with the ATR of the same lookback period (i.e. 2 standard deviations of the 20 recent closing prices vs ATR(20) x2), we begin to look for confirmation for entry whenever the standard deviation of prices is less than the ATR. This can be seen visually in the plots (i.e. default gray lines representing ATRx2 relative to BB center line).
Confirmation for entry will be the RSIs (slow-14, and fast-10). If both are upward sloping, then we assume prices are in an uptrend and may eventually break above upper band. RSIs are typically in mid-range when prices are consolidating, therefore no need to measure it.
Exits will happen in two cases, (1) when trailing stop loss hits, or (2) when RSIs signal that the instrument is overbought. No. 1 is self-explanatory. No. 2 happens, when RSI14 reaches above 70 (can be changed), followed by RSI10 catching up and surpassing RSI14.
TASC 2025.05 Trading The Channel█ OVERVIEW
This script implements channel-based trading strategies based on the concepts explained by Perry J. Kaufman in the article "A Test Of Three Approaches: Trading The Channel" from the May 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The script explores three distinct trading methods for equities and futures using information from a linear regression channel. Each rule set corresponds to different market behaviors, offering flexibility for trend-following, breakout, and mean-reversion trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Linear regression
Linear regression is a model that estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a straight line to the observed data. In the context of financial time series, traders often use linear regression to estimate trends in price movements over time.
The slope of the linear regression line indicates the strength and direction of the price trend. For example, a larger positive slope indicates a stronger upward trend, and a larger negative slope indicates the opposite. Traders can look for shifts in the direction of a linear regression slope to identify potential trend trading signals, and they can analyze the magnitude of the slope to support trading decisions.
One caveat to linear regression is that most financial time series data does not follow a straight line, meaning a regression line cannot perfectly describe the relationships between values. Prices typically fluctuate around a regression line to some degree. As such, analysts often project ranges above and below regression lines, creating channels to model the expected extent of the data's variability. This strategy constructs a channel based on the method used in Kaufman's article. It measures the maximum distances from points on the linear regression line to historical price values, then adds those distances and the current slope to the regression points.
Depending on the trading style, traders might look for prices to move outside an established channel for breakout signals, or they might look for price action to reach extremes within the channel for potential mean reversion opportunities.
█ STRATEGY CALCULATIONS
Primary trade rules
This strategy implements three distinct sets of rules for trend, breakout, and mean-reversion trades based on the methods Kaufman describes in his article:
Trade the trend (Rule 1) : Open new positions when the sign of the slope changes, indicating a potential trend reversal. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the slope changes from negative to positive, and do the opposite when the slope changes from positive to negative.
Trade channel breakouts (Rule 2) : Open new positions when prices cross outside the linear regression channel for the current sample. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price moves above the channel, and do the opposite when the price moves below the channel.
Trade within the channel (Rule 3) : Open new positions based on price values within the channel's range. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price is near the channel's low, within a specified percentage of the channel's range, and do the opposite when the price is near the channel's high. With this rule, users can also filter the trades based on the channel's slope. When the filter is active, long positions are allowed only when the slope is positive, and short positions are allowed only when it is negative.
Position sizing
Kaufman's strategy uses specific trade sizes for equities and futures markets:
For an equities symbol, the number of shares traded is $10,000 divided by the current price.
For a futures symbol, the number of contracts traded is based on a volatility-adjusted formula that divides $25,000 by the product of the 20-bar average true range and the instrument's point value.
By default, this script automatically uses these sizes for its trade simulation on equities and futures symbols and does not simulate trading on other symbols. However, users can control position sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab and enable trade simulation on other symbol types by selecting the "Manual" option in the script's "Position sizing" input.
Stop-loss
This strategy includes the option to place an accompanying stop-loss order for each trade, which users can enable from the "SL %" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. When enabled, the strategy places a stop-loss order at a specified percentage distance from the closing price where the entry order occurs, allowing users to compare how the strategy performs with added loss protection.
█ USAGE
This strategy adapts its display logic for the three trading approaches based on the rule selected in the "Trade rule" input:
For all rules, the script plots the linear regression slope in a separate pane. The plot is color-coded to indicate whether the current slope is positive or negative.
When the selected rule is "Trade the trend", the script plots triangles in the separate pane to indicate when the slope's direction changes from positive to negative or vice versa. Additionally, it plots a color-coded SMA on the main chart pane, allowing visual comparison of the slope to directional changes in a moving average.
When the rule is "Trade channel breakouts" or "Trade within the channel", the script draws the current period's linear regression channel on the main chart pane, and it plots bands representing the history of the channel values from the specified start time onward.
When the rule is "Trade within the channel", the script plots overbought and oversold zones between the bands based on a user-specified percentage of the channel range to indicate the value ranges where new trades are allowed.
Users can customize the strategy's calculations with the following additional inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
Start date : Sets the date and time when the strategy begins simulating trades. The script marks the specified point on the chart with a gray vertical line. The plots for rules 2 and 3 display the bands and trading zones from this point onward.
Period : Specifies the number of bars in the linear regression channel calculation. The default is 40.
Linreg source : Specifies the source series from which to calculate the linear regression values. The default is "close".
Range source : Specifies whether the script uses the distances from the linear regression line to closing prices or high and low prices to determine the channel's upper and lower ranges for rules 2 and 3. The default is "close".
Zone % : The percentage of the channel's overall range to use for trading zones with rule 3. The default is 20, meaning the width of the upper and lower zones is 20% of the range.
SL% : If the checkbox is selected, the strategy adds a stop-loss to each trade at the specified percentage distance away from the closing price where the entry order occurs. The checkbox is deselected by default, and the default percentage value is 5.
Position sizing : Determines whether the strategy uses Kaufman's predefined trade sizes ("Auto") or allows user-defined sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab ("Manual"). The default is "Auto".
Long trades only : If selected, the strategy does not allow short positions. It is deselected by default.
Trend filter : If selected, the strategy filters positions for rule 3 based on the linear regression slope, allowing long positions only when the slope is positive and short positions only when the slope is negative. It is deselected by default.
NOTE: Because of this strategy's trading rules, the simulated results for a specific symbol or channel configuration might have significantly fewer than 100 trades. For meaningful results, we recommend adjusting the start date and other parameters to achieve a reasonable number of closed trades for analysis.
Additionally, this strategy does not specify commission and slippage amounts by default, because these values can vary across market types. Therefore, we recommend setting realistic values for these properties in the "Cost simulation" section of the "Settings/Properties" tab.
Gaussian Channel StrategyGaussian Channel Strategy — User Guide
1. Concept
This strategy builds trades around the Gaussian Channel. Based on Pine Script v4 indicator originally published by Donovan Wall. With rework to v6 Pine Script and adding entry and exit functions.
The channel consists of three dynamic lines:
Line Formula Purpose
Filter (middle) N-pole Gaussian filter applied to price Market "equilibrium"
High Band Filter + (Filtered TR × mult) Dynamic upper envelope
Low Band Filter − (Filtered TR × mult) Dynamic lower envelope
A position is opened when price crosses a user-selected line in a user-selected direction.
When the smoothed True Range (Filtered TR) becomes negative, the raw bands can flip (High drops below Low).
The strategy automatically reorders them so the upper band is always above the lower band.
Visual colors still flip, but signals stay correct.
2. Entry Logic
Choose a signal line for longs and/or shorts: Filter, Upper band, or Lower band.
Choose a cross direction (Cross Up or Cross Down).
A signal remains valid for Lookback bars after the actual cross, as long as price is still on the required side of the line.
When the opposite signal appears, the current position is closed or reversed depending on Reverse on opposite.
3. Parameters
Group Setting Meaning
Source & Filter Source Price series used (close, hlc3, etc.)
Poles (N) Number of Gaussian filter poles (1-9). More poles ⇒ smoother but laggier
Sampling Period Main period length of the channel
Filtered TR Multiplier Width of the bands in fractions of smoothed True Range
Reduced Lag Mode Adds a lag-compensation term (faster but noisier)
Fast Response Mode Blends 1-pole & N-pole outputs for quicker turns
Signals Long → signal line / Short → signal line Which line generates signals
Long when price / Short when price Direction of the cross
Lookback bars for late entry Bars after the cross that still allow an entry
Trading Enable LONG/SHORT-side trades Turn each side on/off
On opposite signal: reverse True: reverse -- False: flat
Misc Start trading date Ignores signals before this timestamp (back-test focus)
4. Quick Start
Add the strategy to a chart. Default: hlc3, N = 4, Period = 144.
Select your signal lines & directions.
Example: trend trading – Long: Filter + Cross Up, Short: Filter + Cross Down.
Disable either side if you want long-only or short-only.
Tune Lookback (e.g. 3) to catch gaps and strong impulses.
Run Strategy Tester, optimise period / multiplier / stops (add strategy.exit blocks if needed).
When satisfied, connect alerts via TradingView webhooks or use the builtin broker panel.
5. Notes
Commission & slippage are not preset – adjust them in Properties → Commission & Slippage.
Works on any market and timeframe, but you should retune Sampling Period and Multiplier for each symbol.
No stop-loss / take-profit is included by default – feel free to add with strategy.exit.
Start trading date lets you back-test only recent history (e.g. last two years).

Bollinger Bands Strategy (MA type)The types of moving averages that Mr. Kıvanç Özbilgiç uses in his indicators and especially the "MACD Reloaded" and "SuperTrended Moving Averages" indicators gave me an idea.
Better results can be obtained in different time frames by increasing the range of Moving averages used in Bollinger Bands.
It is a trial and educational work only.
Noro's Bands StrategyThe central line is the central line of the price channel.
The line above the center is higher by the average deviation.
The uppermost line is higher by 2 mean deviations.
Similarly for lower lines.
It 's very similar to Bollinger Bands.
Strategy
If the price is above the top line, open the long position (and close the short position)
If the price is below the bottom line, open the short position (and close the long position)
Hull UT Bot Strategy - UT Main + Hull ConfirmThis strategy merges the strengths of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) Suite and the UT Bot Alerts indicator to create a trend-following system with reduced signal noise. The UT Bot acts as the primary signal generator, using an ATR-based trailing stop to identify momentum shifts and potential entry points. These signals are then filtered by the Hull Suite for trend confirmation: long entries require a UT Bot buy signal aligned with a bullish (green) Hull band, while short entries need a UT Bot sell signal with a bearish (red) Hull band. This combination aims to capture high-probability swings while avoiding whipsaws in choppy markets.The Hull Suite provides a responsive, smoothed moving average (configurable as HMA, EHMA, or THMA) that colors its band based on trend direction, offering a visual and logical filter for the faster UT Bot signals. The result is a versatile strategy suitable for swing trading on timeframes like 1H or 4H, with options for higher timeframe Hull overlays for scalping context. It includes backtesting capabilities via Pine Script's strategy functions, plotting confirmed signals, raw UT alerts (for reference), and the trailing stop line.Key benefits:Noise Reduction: Hull confirmation eliminates ~50-70% of false UT Bot signals in ranging markets (based on typical backtests).
Trend Alignment: Ensures entries follow the broader momentum defined by the Hull band.
Customization: Adjustable sensitivity for different assets (e.g., forex, stocks, crypto).
How It WorksUT Bot Core: Calculates an ATR trailing stop (sensitivity via "Key Value"). A buy signal triggers when price crosses above the stop (bullish momentum), and sell when below (bearish).
Hull Filter: The Hull band is green if current Hull > Hull (bullish), red otherwise. Signals only fire on alignment.
Entries: Long on confirmed UT buy + green Hull; Short on confirmed UT sell + red Hull. No explicit exits—relies on opposite signals for reversal.
Visuals: Plots Hull band, UT trailing stop, confirmed labels (Long/Short), and optional raw UT circles. Bar colors reflect UT position, tinted by confirmation.
Alerts: Triggers on confirmed long/short for automated notifications.
This setup performs well in trending markets but may lag in strong reversals—pair with risk management (e.g., 1-2% per trade).Recommended Settings Use these as starting points; optimize via back testing on your asset/timeframe.
-Hull Variation
Hma
Standard Hull for responsiveness; switch to EHMA for smoother crypto, THMA for volatile stocks.

Keep at 1 for native TF; >1 for HTF straight bands (e.g., 2 for 2x smoothing).
-Show Hull from HTF
False
Enable for scalping (e.g., 1m chart with 15m Hull); set HTF to "15" or "240".
-Color Hull by Trend
True
Visual trend cue; disable for neutral orange line.
-Color Candles by Hull
False
Enable for trend visualization; conflicts with UT bar colors if True.
-Show Hull as Band
True
Fills area for clear up/down zones; set transparency to 40-60.
-Hull Line Thickness
1-2
Thinner for clean charts; 2+ for emphasis.
-UT Bot Key Value
1
Default sensitivity (ATR multiple); 0.5 for aggressive signals, 2 for conservative.
-UT Bot ATR Period

Backtesting Tips: Test on liquid pairs like EURUSD (1H) or BTCUSD (4H) with 1% equity risk. Expect win rates ~45-60% in trends, with 1.5-2:1 reward:risk. Adjust Key Value down for more trades, Hull Length up for fewer.
Double Bollinger Bands Strategy with Signals (By Rolwin)Double Bollinger Bands Strategy with Signals 1.0 (By Rolwin)
📌 Overview
The Double Bollinger Bands Strategy is a trend-following system that utilizes two sets of Bollinger Bands (2 standard deviations and 3 standard deviations) to identify high-probability entry and exit points. This strategy helps traders capitalize on strong price movements and potential reversals by detecting overbought and oversold conditions more effectively.
📊 How It Works
• Bollinger Bands Setup:
o Middle Band: 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA)
o Upper & Lower Bands (2 SD): Standard Bollinger Bands (±2 standard deviations)
o Extreme Bands (3 SD): Additional Bollinger Bands (±3 standard deviations) for extreme price moves
• Entry Signals:
✅ Buy (Long Entry): When the price crosses above the lower 3SD band (oversold zone)
❌ Sell (Short Entry): When the price crosses below the upper 3SD band (overbought zone)
• Exit Signals:
🔼 Exit Long: When the price reaches the upper 2SD band
🔽 Exit Short: When the price reaches the lower 2SD band
• Additional Features:
✅ Buy & Sell Signals plotted directly on the chart
🎨 Candles turn white when price touches the extreme 3SD band
🔥 Why Use This Strategy?
✔️ Clear Entry & Exit Points: Based on strong statistical levels
✔️ Effective in Trending & Reversal Markets: Captures both momentum & mean reversion setups
✔️ Easy-to-Use Visualization: Signals & bands make it beginner-friendly
✔️ Customizable: Adjust Bollinger Band length and multipliers to fit different assets & timeframes
⚠️ Risk Management Tip
While this strategy provides high-probability trade signals, it is essential to use stop-loss orders (e.g., ATR-based) and proper position sizing to manage risk effectively.

BEAM DCA Strategy MonthlyThis strategy is based on BEAM bands for BTC. The space between the original BEAM bands is broken up into 10 bands representing levels of risk for investing fresh capital.
The strategy will buy bitcoin when the price is in the bottom 5 bands, increasing the amount investmented as the price approaches the 1400 D SMA.
The strategy will limit sell bitcoin when the price is in the top 5 bands, increasing the amount sold as the price approaches the upper BEAM band.
Best used on Daily timeframe and on a chart with history of price data, i.e. INDEX:BTCUSD or BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
To use the strategy:
Set start date
Set day of month to invest
Set the maximum amount to be invested on any given month
Toggle buy/sell orders
Observe the backtest
You can see how the strategy backtests via the information boxes in the bottom right.
There is also functionality to adjust the bands for diminishing returns. Note, this should be used with great skepticism, as the adjustments were made by simple function fitting and not rigorous statistical processes.
That about sums it up! As you can see, even with just a small amount of capital invested at regular intervals can lead to huge realised gains using this version of BEAM bands!
Bollinger Bands strategy with RSI and MACD v1.0 This is a strategy based on the Bollinger Bands, where buy trades are made when the price crosses the lower line of the Bollinger Bands upwards, and sell trades are made when the price crosses the upper line downwards.
In addition, it is possible through the inputs to enable trading with RSI and MACD, so that buy or sell trades are supported by these two indicators.
Trades are partially and fully closed in the following way, a buy trade will close half of the position when the price touches the middle line of the Bollinger bands and will be fully closed when the price touches the upper band. In the case of a sell position, half of the position will be closed if the price touches the middle band and the entire position will be closed when the price touches the lower band. Alternatively, a fixed take profit can be placed. In case the price moves against us, trailing stops can be placed.
In case of selecting to use RSI, MACD, or MACD variation, trades will be executed as long as The Bollinger Bands, and all the above-mentioned indicators give the same signals, either buy or sell.
For example in the case of selecting only Use RSI, buy trades would be made as long as RSI and BB give buy signals.
Strategy inputs:
-BB source: Bollinger Bands price source.
-Bollinger Bands SMA length: Bollinger Bands simple moving average length.
-Bollinger Bands StdDev length: Bollinger Bands standard deviation length.
-Trail Long Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will initially be placed for buy trades.
-Trail Short Loss (%): Distance in percentage at which the stop loss will be initially placed for sell trades.

-Position size: Number of contracts per trade.
-Use RSI: If selected, the strategy will also trade based on oversold or overbought signals provided by the RSI.
-RSI source: RSI price source.
-RSI period: The RSI period to use.
-RSI value for buy: If the RSI is below this value, it will give a buy signal.
-RSI value for sell: If the RSI value is above this value, it will give a sell signal.
-Use MACD: If selected, buy trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 upwards, and sell trades will be made when the MACD crosses 0 downwards.
-Use MACD variation: Only available if MACD is previously selected. In this case, buy trades are made if the MACD value in the last 3 candles has been decreasing, and sell trades are made if the MACD value has been increasing.
-MACD source: MACD price source.
-MACD fast length: MACD fast EMA lenght.
-MACD slow length: MACD slow EMA lenght.

Advanced Bollinger Bands StrategyAdvanced Bollinger Bands Strategy
Why is it an advanced Bollinger Bands Strategy?
The purpose of Bollinger Bands is to provide a relative definition of high and low prices of a market. By definition, prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band. This definition can aid in rigorous pattern recognition and is useful in comparing price action to the action of indicators to arrive at systematic trading decisions. Adding a Moving Average filter which only allows trades if MA and Price are outside of the BB increases the probability of profitable trades with the sacrifice of a lower trade-frequency.

Jomy's Gyroscopic BandsPrice above white line? Long it. Price below white line? Short it. Tuned to XBTUSD on BitMEX. 12h chart. The bands aren't really needed, but you can also choose to long if the price goes above the band, and short if the price goes below the band. If used on other cryptos you should probably tinker with vara (variable a) until you get a respectable result, as that makes a huge difference when dealing with different prices.
How does it work? I send a particle into the chart, which moves towards the price level like a moon around a planet. It swings around the price like a sine wave . I find the average gyration distance for the last x bars, and plot them like Bollinger Bands around the particle's trajectory from a point x bars ago. This system seems to produce fewer whipsaw trades than classical EMAs.
Just like Bollinger bands, you can expect a big move if the bands tighten for a period of time.
Feel free to tinker with this, and if you get some amazing backtests, please share.
XAU/USD Strategy with Correct ADX and Bollinger Bands Fill1. *Indicators Used*:
- *Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)*: Two EMAs (20-period and 50-period) are used to identify the trend direction and potential entry points based on crossovers.
- *Relative Strength Index (RSI)*: A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
- *Bollinger Bands*: These consist of a middle line (simple moving average) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the middle). They help to identify price volatility and potential reversal points.
- *Average Directional Index (ADX)*: This indicator quantifies trend strength. It's derived from the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and helps confirm the presence of a strong trend.
- *Average True Range (ATR)*: Used to calculate position size based on volatility, ensuring that trades align with the trader's risk tolerance.
2. *Entry Conditions*:
- *Long Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bullish trend).
- The RSI is below the oversold level (30), suggesting the asset may be undervalued.
- The price is below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above a specified threshold (25), confirming that there is sufficient trend strength.
- *Short Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bearish trend).
- The RSI is above the overbought level (70), suggesting the asset may be overvalued.
- The price is above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above the specified threshold (25), confirming trend strength.
3. *Position Sizing*:
- The script calculates the position size dynamically based on the trader's risk per trade (expressed as a percentage of the total capital) and the ATR. This ensures that the trader does not risk more than the specified percentage on any single trade, adjusting the position size according to market volatility.
4. *Exit Conditions*:
- The strategy uses a trailing stop-loss mechanism to secure profits as the price moves in the trader's favor. The trailing stop is set at a percentage (1.5% by default) below the highest price reached since entry for long positions and above the lowest price for short positions.
- Additionally, if the RSI crosses back above the overbought level while in a long position or below the oversold level while in a short position, the position is closed to prevent losses.
5. *Alerts*:
- Alerts are set to notify the trader when a buy or sell condition is met based on the strategy's rules. This allows for timely execution of trades.
### Summary
This strategy aims to capture significant price movements in the XAU/USD market by combining trend-following (EMAs, ADX) and momentum indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands). The dynamic position sizing based on ATR helps manage risk effectively. By implementing trailing stops and alert mechanisms, the strategy enhances the trader's ability to act quickly on opportunities while mitigating potential losses.
