Strategy:Reversal-CatcherWhat
This is a plain and vanilla reversal based strategy for intraday (15m) timeframe on Futures prices of the assets.
Now what all it comprises of?
It finds out the dynamic support & resistance from Bollinger Band (20 period, 1.5 std dev).
It finds out the potential divergence of price deviation from 5 period exponential moving average (EMA).
If the previous candle (N-1) shows a divergence it confirms the reversal by checking the present candle (N) to be closed inside the Bollinger Band.
It confirms the momentum by checking RSI shows a crossover/crossunder to oversold (30) / overbought (70) region.
It also confirms whether the trend is up (then only reversal trade to short) or down (then only reversal trade to long). The trend is checked with EMA-21 and EMA-50.
Re-affirmation Condition : It re-affirms the position of two successive candles called as `hhLLong` and `hhLLShort` in the script.
Why
In Indian context, retail participants are pre-dominantly (yes- 80% of Indian daily volume) Options buyers mainly in weekly indices (Nifty, BankNifty, FinNifty, CNXMidcap, Sensex, Bankx .. well everyday is expiry now in India, except -- Thank God -- Saturday & Sunday).
And in Index Options the momentum plays a big role.
If one can catch a good reversal point the potential of high Risk-to-Reward trade (hence earn handsomely) is very likely (please note: there is no holy grail in trading. Nothing works 100%).
So this is the attempt to catch a reversal.
Re-affirmation of Reversal
hhLLong : It's a reversal point after an uptrend. It checks the relative positioning of current candle compared to that of previous candle. [The details are in the script. Check for variable hhLLong in script.
hhLLShort : It's a reversal point after a downtrend. It checks the relative positioning of current candle compared to that of previous candle. [The details are in the script. Check for variable hhLLShort in script.
Unique-ness
What's unique in it? Why we decided to publicly share this:
Already given the context of The Great Indian Options Buyers community. It should be helpful to them, we believe.
It takes Very Less Number of Trades with High Accuracy . Please check the result in NSE:NIFTY1! in 15m timeframe. 71% accuracy with roughly a trade in a month.
There is no point giving brokers' the brokerages taking 10 trades a day and ending not-so-good EoD. Better lets take less trades with better result possibility. .
Mention
There are many people uses this variation of Bolling Band, 5EMA
Many people use RSI, trends and relative positioning of candles.
--> We are grateful to all of them. It's really difficult to mention everyone's name. But all people somehow influence the thought process. Thanks for all of them.

HK Percentile Interpolation One
This script is designed to execute a trading strategy based on Heikin Ashi candlesticks, moving averages, and percentile levels.
Please note that you should keep your original chart in normal candlestick mode and not switch it to Heikin Ashi mode. The script itself calculates Heikin Ashi values from regular candlesticks. If your chart is already in Heikin Ashi mode, the script would be calculating Heikin Ashi values based on Heikin Ashi values, which would produce incorrect results.
The strategy begins trading from a start date that you can specify by modifying the `startDate` parameter. The format of the date is "YYYY MM DD". So, for example, to start the strategy from January 1, 2022, you would set `startDate = timestamp("2022 01 01")`.
The script uses Heikin Ashi candlesticks, which are plotted in the chart. This approach can be useful for spotting trends and reversals more easily than with regular candlestick charts. This is particularly useful when backtesting in TradingView's "Rewind" mode, as you can see how the Heikin Ashi candles behaved at each step of the strategy.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on two factors:
1. The crossing over or under of the Heikin Ashi close price and the 75th percentile price level.
2. The Heikin Ashi close price being above certain moving averages.
You have the flexibility to adjust several parameters in the script, including:
1. The stop loss and trailing stop percentages (`stopLossPercentage` and `trailStopPercentage`). These parameters allow the strategy to exit trades if the price moves against you by a certain percentage.
2. The lookback period (`lookback`) used to calculate percentile levels. This determines the range of past bars used in the percentile calculation.
3. The lengths of the two moving averages (`yellowLine_length` and `purplLine_length`). These determine how sensitive the moving averages are to recent price changes.
4. The minimum holding period (`holdPeriod`). This sets the minimum number of bars that a trade must be kept open before it can be closed.
Please adjust these parameters according to your trading preferences and risk tolerance. Happy trading!
Tristan's Box: Pre-Market Range Breakout + RetestMarket Context:
This is designed for U.S. stocks, focusing on pre-market price action (4:00–9:30 AM ET) to identify key support/resistance levels before the regular session opens.
Built for 1 min and 5 min timelines, and is intended for day trading / scalping.
Core Idea:
Pre-market range (high/low) often acts as a magnet for price during regular hours.
The first breakout outside this range signals potential strong momentum in that direction.
Retest of the breakout level confirms whether the breakout is valid, avoiding false moves.
Step-by-Step Logic:
Pre-Market Range Identification:
Track high and low from 4:00–9:30 AM ET.
Draw a box spanning this range for visual reference and calculation.
Breakout Detection:
When the first candle closes above the pre-market high → long breakout.
When the first candle closes below the pre-market low → short breakout.
The first breakout candle is highlighted with a “YOLO” label for visual confirmation.
Retest Confirmation:
Identify the first candle whose wick touches the pre-market box (high touches top for short, low touches bottom for long).
Wait for the next candle: if it closes outside the box, it confirms the breakout.
Entry Execution:
Long entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch above the pre-market high.
Short entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch below the pre-market low.
Only the first valid entry per direction per day is taken.
Visuals & Alerts:
Box represents pre-market high/low.
Top/bottom box border lines show the pre-market high / low levels cleanly.
BUY/SELL markers are pinned to the confirming candle.
Added a "YOLO" marker on breakout candle.
Alert conditions trigger when a breakout is confirmed by the retest.
Strategy Type:
Momentum breakout strategy with confirmation retest.
Combines pre-market structure and risk-managed entries.
Designed to filter false breakouts by requiring confirmation on the candle after the wick-touch.
In short, it’s a pre-market breakout momentum strategy: it uses the pre-market high/low as reference, waits for a breakout, and then enters only after a confirmation retest, reducing the chance of entering on a false spike.
Always use good risk management.
Strategi FVG 09:31 (Pro)FVG 09:31 Strategy (Pro)
In short, this is an automated trading strategy (bot) for TradingView designed to execute buy or sell orders based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern. The strategy is highly specific, as it only triggers on the 1-minute timeframe and looks for an FVG that forms precisely at 09:32 AM New York time.
Main Purpose of the Strategy
The primary goal of this script is to identify and capitalize on short-term price imbalances, known as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). It operates during a specific, high-volatility window right after the U.S. stock market opens, often referred to by traders as the "Silver Bullet" session. By automating the detection and execution, it aims to trade these fleeting opportunities with precision.
How the Strategy Works
The strategy follows a clear, step-by-step logical flow on your chart.
1. Time & Timeframe Restriction
1-Minute Timeframe: The strategy is hard-coded to work only on the 1-minute (1m) chart. A warning label will appear on your chart if you apply it to any other timeframe.
Specific Time Window: The core logic activates only between 09:32 and 09:33 AM New York time. It searches for an FVG pattern formed by the three candles from 09:29, 09:30, and 09:31, with the pattern confirmation happening on the close of the 09:31 candle.
2. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
An FVG is a three-candle pattern that signals a price imbalance.
Bullish FVG (Potential Buy): Occurs when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices is the FVG zone.
Bearish FVG (Potential Sell): Occurs when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices is the FVG zone.
If this pattern is detected at the target time, the strategy draws a colored box on the chart to visualize the FVG zone (aqua for bullish, fuchsia for bearish).
3. Entry Logic
The strategy provides two user-selectable methods for entering a trade:
Retracement (Immediate Entry): The strategy will open a position with a market order as soon as the price retraces back into the identified FVG zone.
For a Bullish FVG, a Long (buy) position is opened when the price drops to touch the upper boundary of the FVG.
For a Bearish FVG, a Short (sell) position is opened when the price rises to touch the lower boundary of the FVG.
Limit Order (Pending Entry): The strategy places a pending limit order at the edge of the FVG zone.
For a Bullish FVG, a Buy Limit order is placed at the upper boundary of the FVG.
For a Bearish FVG, a Sell Limit order is placed at the lower boundary of the FVG.
Order Expiration: If the limit order is not filled within a specified number of candles (default is 15), it is automatically canceled to avoid chasing a stale setup.
4. Exit Logic
Once a position is active, the strategy automatically manages the exit by setting a Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) level. You can choose between two types:
Ticks (Fixed Points): You define a fixed profit target and loss limit in ticks (the smallest price movement). For example, a 200-tick TP and a 100-tick SL.
Last Swing (Dynamic Levels): The TP and SL are set dynamically based on the most recent swing high or swing low.
For a Long position: Take Profit is set at the last swing high; Stop Loss is at the last swing low.
For a Short position: Take Profit is set at the last swing low; Stop Loss is at the last swing high.
5. Daily Management
At the start of each new trading day, the script performs a reset. All variables, including any FVG data from the previous day, are cleared. This ensures the strategy only acts on fresh signals from the current day and cancels any pending orders from the day before.
Explanation of Settings (Inputs)
Here is what each user-configurable setting does:
Entry Type: Choose your preferred entry method: Retracement or Limit Order.
Order Expiration (Candles): Applies only to the Limit Order type. Sets how many candles an unfilled order will remain active before being canceled.
Stop Loss Type: Choose Ticks for a fixed-distance stop loss or Last Swing for a dynamic level.
Take Profit Type: Choose Ticks for a fixed-distance profit target or Last Swing for a dynamic level.
Pivot Lookback (SL/TP Swing): Defines how many candles the script looks back to identify the most recent swing high/low for the Last Swing SL/TP type.
Contract Size: The quantity or lot size for each trade.
Take Profit (in Ticks): The profit target distance if using the Ticks type.
Stop Loss (in Ticks): The maximum loss distance if using the Ticks type.
Daytrading ES Wick Length StrategyThis Pine Script strategy calculates the combined length of upper and lower wicks of candlesticks and uses a customizable moving average (MA) to identify potential long entry points. The strategy compares the total wick length to the MA with an added offset. If the wick length exceeds the offset-adjusted MA, the strategy enters a long position. The position is automatically closed after a user-defined holding period.
Key Features:
1. Calculates the sum of upper and lower wicks for each candlestick.
2. Offers four types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA) for analysis.
3. Allows the user to set a customizable MA length and an offset to shift the MA.
4. Automatically exits positions after a specified number of bars.
5. Visualizes the wick length as a histogram and the offset-adjusted MA as a line.

DCA-Integrated Trend Continuation StrategyIntroducing the DCA-Integrated Trend Continuation Strategy 💼💰
The DCA-Integrated Trend Continuation Strategy represents a robust trading methodology that harnesses the potential of trend continuation opportunities while seamlessly incorporating the principles of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) as a risk management and backup mechanism. This strategy harmoniously blends these two concepts to potentially amplify profitability and optimize risk control across diverse market conditions.
This strategy is well-suited for both trending and ranging markets. During trending markets, it aims to capture and ride the momentum of the trend while optimizing entry points. In ranging markets or pullbacks, the DCA feature comes into play, allowing users to accumulate more assets at potentially lower prices and potentially increase profits when the market resumes its upward trend. This cohesive approach not only enhances the overall effectiveness of the strategy but also fosters a more resilient and adaptable trading approach in ever-changing market dynamics.
💎 How it Works:
▶️ The strategy incorporates a customizable entry signal based on candlestick patterns, enabling the identification of potential trend continuation opportunities. By focusing on consecutive bullish candles, it detects the presence of bullish momentum, indicating an optimal time to enter a long position.
To refine the precision of the signals, traders can set a specific percentage threshold for the closing price of the candle, ensuring it is above a certain percentage of its body. This condition verifies strong bullish momentum and confirms significant upward movement within the candle, thereby increasing the reliability of the signal.
In addition, the strategy offers further confirmation by examining the relationship between the closing price of the signal candle and its previous candles. If the closing price of the signal candle is higher than its preceding candles, it provides an additional layer of assurance before entering a position. This approach is particularly effective in detecting sharp movements and capturing significant price shifts, as it focuses on identifying instances where the closing price shows clear strength and outperforms the previous candle's price action. By prioritizing such occurrences, the strategy aims to capture robust trends and capitalize on notable market movements.
▶️ During market downturns, the strategy incorporates intelligent management of price drops, offering flexibility through fixed or customizable price drop percentages. This unique feature allows for additional entries at specified drop percentages, enabling traders to accumulate positions at more favorable prices.
By strategically adjusting the custom price drop percentages, you can optimize your entry points to potentially maximize profitability. Utilizing lower percentages for initial entries takes advantage of price fluctuations, potentially yielding higher returns. On the other hand, employing higher percentages for final entries adopts a more cautious approach during significant market downturns, emphasizing enhanced risk management. This adaptive approach ensures that the strategy effectively navigates challenging market conditions while seeking to optimize overall performance.
▶️ To enhance performance and mitigate risks, the strategy integrates average purchase price management. This feature dynamically adjusts the average buy price percentage decrease after each price drop, expediting the achievement of the target point even in challenging market conditions. By reducing recovery times and ensuring investment safety, this strategy optimizes outcomes for traders.
▶️ Risk management is at the core of this strategy, prioritizing the protection of capital. It incorporates an account balance validation mechanism that conducts automatic checks prior to each entry, ensuring alignment with available funds. This essential feature provides real-time insights into the affordability of price drops and the number of entries, enabling traders to make informed decisions and maintain optimal risk control.
▶️ Furthermore, the strategy offers take profit options, allowing traders to secure gains by setting fixed percentage profits from the average buy price or using a trailing target. Stop loss protection is also available, enabling traders to set a fixed percentage from the average purchase price to limit potential losses and preserve capital.
▶️ This strategy is fully compatible with third-party trading bots, allowing for easy connectivity to popular trading platforms. By leveraging the TradingView webhook functionality, you can effortlessly link the strategy to your preferred bot and receive accurate signals for position entry and exit. The strategy provides all the necessary alert message fields, ensuring a smooth and user-friendly trading experience. With this integration, you can automate the execution of trades, saving time and effort while enjoying the benefits of this powerful strategy.

To effectively utilize the DCA-Integrated Trend Continuation Strategy, follow these steps:
1. Choose your preferred DCA Mode - whether by quantity or by value - to determine how you want to size your positions.
2. Customize the entry conditions of the strategy to align with your trading preferences. Specify the number of consecutive bullish candles, set a desired percentage threshold for the close of the signal candle relative to its body, and determine the number of previous candles to compare with.
3. Adjust the pyramiding parameter to suit your risk tolerance and desired returns. Whether you prefer a more conservative approach with fewer pyramids or a more aggressive stance with multiple pyramids, this strategy offers flexibility.
4. Personalize the price drop percentages based on your risk appetite and trading strategy. Choose between fixed or custom percentages to optimize your entries in different market scenarios.
5. Configure the average purchase price management settings to control the percentage decrease in the average buy price after each price drop, ensuring it aligns with your risk tolerance and strategy.
6. Utilize the account balance validation feature to ensure the strategy's actions align with your available funds, enhancing risk management and preventing overexposure.
7. Set take profit options to secure your gains and implement stop loss protection to limit potential losses, providing an additional layer of risk management.
8. Use the date and time filtering feature to define the duration during which the strategy operates, allowing for specific backtesting periods or integration with a trading bot.
9. For automated trading, take advantage of the compatibility with third-party trading bots to seamlessly integrate the strategy with popular trading platforms.
By following these steps, traders can harness the power of the DCA-Integrated Trend Continuation Strategy to potentially maximize profitability and optimize their trading outcomes in both trending and ranging markets.

Heikin Ashi - The WhaleThe strategy is based on Heikin Ashi calculation, you do not need to switch the candle to HA.
The HA is used as a base entry, if a candle or two candles are bullish, then is valid to open a position, you can select the validation, one or two candles.
Also, the strategy mainly uses volume indicators as a confluence, you can select VWAP , VWMA , and Volume Oscillator, in addition to ADX which has two ways to validate the entry.
Base entry: One or two bullish HA candles (candles without a lower wick)
Confluence Indicators:
ADX: Will give a positive signal only if ADX is above the threshold, or if +DI is above -DI, or both.
VWAP: will give a positive signal if HA close is above VWAP.
VWMA: composite of 3 MA (20, 25, 50). There are multiple options to set it as confluence, the first option is to check if the short is bigger than the long and long is bigger than the base. The other options are to check the close status, which is bigger than which MA. You can find the description of each option in the strategy box
The sell is based on trailing stop loss (TSL), while the stop loss is based lowest X candle, the strategy will look back to the lowest number of the HA candles and set it as stop loss.
Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQHere's a comprehensive description of the Options Scalper v2 strategy:
---
## Options Scalper v2 - SPY/QQQ
### Overview
A multi-indicator confluence-based scalping strategy designed for trading SPY and QQQ options on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts). The strategy uses a scoring system to generate high-probability CALL and PUT signals by requiring alignment across multiple technical indicators before triggering entries.
---
### Core Logic
The strategy operates on a **scoring system (0-9 points)** where both bullish (CALL) and bearish (PUT) conditions are evaluated independently. A signal only fires when:
1. A recent EMA crossover occurred (within the last 3 bars)
2. The direction's score meets the minimum threshold (default: 4 points)
3. The signal's score is higher than the opposite direction
4. Enough bars have passed since the last signal (cooldown period)
5. Price action occurs during valid trading sessions
---

TrendGuard Scalper: SSL + Hama Candle with Consolidation ZonesThis TradingView script brings a powerful scalping strategy that combines the SSL Channel and Hama Candles indicators with a special twist—consolidation detection. Designed for traders looking for consistency in various markets like crypto, forex, and stocks, this strategy highlights clear trend signals, risk management, and helps filter out risky trades during consolidation periods.
Why Use This Strategy?
Clear Trend Detection:
With the SSL Channel, you’ll know exactly when the market is in an uptrend (green) or downtrend (red), giving you straightforward entry points.
Short-Term Trend Precision with Hama Candles:
By calculating unique EMAs for open, high, low, and close, the Hama Candles show the strength and direction of short-term trends. Combined with the Hama Line, it gives you a solid confirmation on whether the trend is strong or about to reverse, allowing for precise entries and exits.
Avoiding Choppy Markets:
Thanks to ATR-based consolidation detection, this strategy identifies low-volatility periods where the market is “choppy” and less predictable. During these times, a yellow background appears on the chart, warning you to hold off on trades, reducing the likelihood of entering losing trades.
Built-In Risk Management:
With adjustable Take Profit and Stop Loss levels based on price movements, you can set and forget your trades, with a safety net if the market turns against you. The strategy automatically closes positions if the price returns to the Hama Candle, keeping your risk low.
How It Works:
Long Position: When both the SSL and Hama indicators show a green trend, and the price is above the Hama Candles, the strategy opens a long position. Take Profit triggers at your chosen risk-to-reward ratio, while Stop Loss protects you just below the Hama Line.
Short Position: When both indicators align in red and the price is below the Hama Candles, the strategy opens a short. Similar to longs, Stop Loss is set just above the Hama Line, and Take Profit is at your defined level.

2nd Grade StrategyThis is a strategy to complement the 2GT indicator. It utilises the same rules as 2GT.
This is comprises of multiple popularly used indicators to help decide on whether to go long or short. This indicator will overlay the MA lines and background colours on your chart.
The heikin-ashi colour will be shown as the background colour. This will help you identify a trend more easily while using bars, candles, hollow candles, etc. When the background is green, it means that it is a green HA and vice versa.
The blue MA line is for showing the short-term trend. The red MA line is for showing the medium-term trend. You can select the moving average flavour of your choice in the settings.
The yellow MA line is the long-term trend that is mainly used as a filter to indicate bullish/bearish trend. The MA type for this filter can be different from the short/mid term MA.
This indicator will also show Stochastic crossovers (GC, DC, BC) on the chart. This will help to always keep your eye on the chart candles.
In the settings, you can also turn on/off bullish/bearish signals.
Rules for bullish signals on this indicator:-
1. MA: Blue > Red > Yellow (FastMA > SlowMA > FilterMA)
2. Stochastic: K > D and both are heading upwards
3. 2nd Green HA
When 2 out of the 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Aqua in colour. When all 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Green .
Rules for bearish signals on this indicator:-
1. MA: Yellow > Red > Blue (FilterMA > SlowMA > FastMA)
2. Stochastic: D > K and both are heading downwards
3. 2nd Red HA
When 2 out of the 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Orange in colour. When all 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Red .
Do note that you can hide any of these elements in via the settings.

quit your bullshit! Heikin-Ashi Backtest with Real Candle ValuesMade in a few minutes to debunk all the bullshit going around tradingview and everywhere about "heikin-ashi" being a holy grail trend indicator.
Do not be deceived.
Heikin-Ashi is a beautiful way to remove much of the noise in markets, and is light on the eyes. (nice and smooth!)
I personally use heikin-ashi as a way to remove a lot of the clutter in the markets, allowing me to trade with less emotion.
While heikin-ashi is a great way to visualize trends, it is NOT a good trend indicator because its displayed values do not align with actual trading values.
Therefore, entry and exit points for many of the ideas published about heikin-ashi for trade are inaccurate.
::: When Heikin-Ashi changes colour for x candles, a new trade is created on the open of the following real candle.
In practice, Heikin-Ashi is much closer to break even.
As tested, Heikin-Ashi trend trading works better on pairs that have clearer definitions of trends and are less often in consolidation. (ex. USDJPY)
Usage:
Switch to normal candlestick chart.
Features:
Change the period for new trades. (For example: x amount of red candles after a green candle to signify short trade)
Scalping EMA + Pinbar Strategy (London & NY only, BE @ 1R)The scalping trading system uses two types of indicators:
EMA 10, EMA 21, EMA 50
Pinbar Indicator
Rules for entering a buy order:
If the closing price is above the EMA 50, the trend is uptrend and only buy orders should be considered.
The EMA 10 and EMA 21 lines must simultaneously be above the EMA 50.
The price must correct down at least 50% of the area created by the EMA 10 and EMA 21, or correct further down.
A Type 1 Pinbar candle (marked by the Pinbar indicator) must appear; this Pinbar candle must react to at least one of the three EMA lines (EMA 10, EMA 21, EMA 50) and close above the EMA 50.
This Pinbar candle must have a Pinbar strength value (marked by the Pinbar indicator) less than 2 to be considered valid. Check if the closing price of this pinbar candle is higher than the 50-day EMA and if the 10-day and 21-day EMAs are also higher than the 50-day EMA. If so, the conditions have been met and you can begin trading.
Place a buy stop order 0.1 pip higher than the highest price of the pinbar candle, and a stop loss order 0.1 pip lower than the lowest price of the pinbar candle. Set the take profit at 3R.
If the price moves past the previously set stop loss, cancel the pending order.
When the price moves 1R, move the stop loss back to the entry point.
The next trade can only be executed after the previous trade has moved the stop loss back to the entry point.
Rules for placing sell orders:
If the closing price is below the 50-day EMA, the trend is bearish, and only sell orders should be considered. The 10-day and 21-day EMAs must both be below the 50-day EMA.
The price must correct downwards by at least 50% of the area formed by the 10-day and 21-day EMAs, or even further.
A Type 1 pinbar candle (marked by the Pinbar indicator) must appear. This pinbar candle must react to at least one of the three EMAs (EMA 10, EMA 21, EMA 50) and close below the EMA 50.
This pinbar is valid if its strength (indicated by the Pinbar indicator) is less than 2. Verify that the closing price of this pinbar candle is below the EMA 50 and that both the EMA 10 and EMA 21 are below the EMA 50. If all conditions are met, the trade can be executed.
(This appears to be a separate entry rule and not part of the previous text.) Place a sell stop order 0.1 pip below the lowest point of the pinbar candle, and a stop loss order 0.1 pip above the highest point of the pinbar candle. Set the take profit point at 3R.
If the price moves past the previously set stop-loss point, cancel the pending order.
When the price moves 1R, move the stop-loss point back to the entry point.
The next trade can only be executed after the previous trade has moved the stop-loss point back to the entry point.
V15.0 Adaptive Chameleon [Pro]
# **V15.0 Adaptive Chameleon – Strategy Description**
**Adaptive Chameleon** is a fully automated TradingView strategy powered by a signal engine based on multi-timeframe trend analysis, adaptive moving averages, and a volatility filter. The goal is to trade in the direction of a strong and confirmed trend, avoid opening trades in weak or manipulative price zones, and establish positions with a clearly defined risk/reward ratio.
---
## **1. General Logic and Philosophy**
The strategy divides tasks between two timeframes:
* **4-Hour Chart → Trend Manager (Boss)**
Determines the direction and strength of the trend.
* **4-Minute Chart → Entry Trigger (Operating Unit)**
Generates the ideal entry signal in the direction of the trend.
Thanks to this structure, the strategy both follows the long-term main direction and finds clear entries with low lag on smaller timeframes.
---
## **2. Trend Detection (4H)**
The strategy uses **KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average)** and **ADX** to identify trends on the higher timeframe.
### **KAMA – Adaptive Trend Line**
* The KAMA is much more "smart" than traditional moving averages.
* It accelerates during price movements and decelerates during sideways movements.
* This allows for much clearer detection of trend direction.
### **ADX – Trend Strength Meter**
The strategy only opens trades when **trend strength** is rising (above the ADX average).
This prevents unnecessary trades when the trend is weak.
### **Trend Rules**
* Price above the KAMA → **Uptrend**
* Price below the KAMA → **Downtrend**
* ADX widening → **Trend strong**
The entry trigger is activated when these three conditions are met together.
---
## **3. Entry Engine (45m)**
On the 45-minute timeframe, the system uses the following components:
### **AlphaTrend (MFI + ATR-Based Adaptive Line)**
* Measures market flow direction with MFI (Money Flow Index),
* Measures price level breakouts with ATR (Volatility).
AlphaTrend detects whether the price is likely to reverse upwards or downwards.
### **Entry Signal**
* **Buy signal:** If the AlphaTrend has reversed upwards based on recent bars
* **Sell signal:** If the AlphaTrend has broken downwards
### **Pivot Points (For Stop)**
* The **pivotLow** and **pivotHigh** levels of the last 10 bars are calculated.
* These are used to determine the most logical stop distance.
---
## **4. Protection Shields**
The strategy uses two main filters to protect against the most dangerous conditions in the crypto market:
### **1. Pump/Dump Filter**
* A candlestick length greater than 4% is considered a "pump bar."
* Never open a trade on these bars.
The goal: to avoid sudden manipulation candlesticks.
### **2. RSI Filter**
* Long trades: RSI > 45 (open long on weak momentum)
* Short trades: RSI < 55 (open short on extremely strong momentum)
These filters provide more balanced entries.
---
## **5. Final Entry Conditions**
### **All conditions are required simultaneously for long:**
1. 4H trend up
2. ADX trend strength increasing
3. 45m AlphaTrend issued a "buy" signal
4. RSI > 45
5. No candlestick pump
6. Date range is suitable
### **All conditions apply in the opposite direction for short.**
---
## **6. Exit Mechanism (Stop, TP, Trailing)**
The strategy uses a three-layer structure on the exit side:
### **1. Pivot-Based Stop**
* Stop distance = Entry price − Pivot Low (for long)
* Minimum stop distance = **1% of the price**
Provides both structural and mathematical security.
### **2. Fixed R:R (Default 1:2)**
* TP = Entry + Stop Distance × R:R
The default 2R target is ideal for trend systems.
### **3. Optional Trailing Stop**
* Dynamic trailing stop that follows the price by a certain percentage.
* Allows trend trades to yield greater profits.
---
## **7. Chart Displays**
* Purple line:** 4H WEDGE (main trend line)
* Yellow background:** Pump protection is active (trades will not be opened on that bar)
---
## **8. Practical Effect of the Strategy**
This system has an adaptive structure based on trend variations.
**Strengths:**
* Very high accuracy (76–80% in SOL and ETH tests)
* Low drawdown (approximately 6–7%)
* Safe entries thanks to pump/dump and extreme momentum filters
* Clearly defined stop and target structure
* Low noise thanks to multi-timeframe compatibility
**Weaknesses:**
* Performance may decrease in sideways markets without trends
* Overtrading may occur if the ADX filter is closed
* Very small stops can sometimes cause unnecessary triggers
---
## **9. Conclusion**
**Adaptive Chameleon** is a trend-based and highly stable strategy with well-established risk management, manipulation filtering, and entry into lower timeframes with clear trend direction detection and low-latency signals.
SOL and ETH demonstrated strong and balanced performance in backtests with metrics such as:
* **600+ trades**
* **30–37% profit**
* **76–80% win rate**
* **Low max drawdown**
Qullamaggie [Modified] | FractalystWhat's the purpose of this strategy?
The strategy aims to identify high-probability breakout setups in trending markets, inspired by Kristjan "Qullamaggie" Kullamägi’s approach.
It focuses on capturing explosive price moves after periods of consolidation, using technical criteria like moving averages, breakouts, trailing stop-loss and momentum confirmation.
Ideal for swing traders seeking to ride strong trends while managing risk.
----
How does the strategy work?
The strategy follows a systematic process to capture high-momentum breakouts:
Pre-Breakout Criteria:
Prior Price Surge: Identifies stocks that have rallied 30-100%+ in recent month(s), signaling strong underlying momentum (per Qullamaggie’s volatility expansion principles).
Consolidation Phase: Looks for a tightening price range (e.g., flag, pennant, or tight base), indicating a potential "coiling" before continuation.
Trend Confirmation: Uses moving averages (e.g., 20/50/200 EMA) to ensure the stock is trading above key averages on the daily chart, confirming an uptrend.
Price Break: Enters when price clears the consolidation high with conviction.
Risk Management:
Initial Stop Loss: Placed below the consolidation low or a recent swing point to limit downside.
Break-Even Adjustment: Moves stop loss to breakeven once the trade reaches 1.5x risk-to-reward (RR), securing a "free trade" while letting winners run.
Trailing Stop (Unique Edge):
Market Structure Trailing: Instead of trailing via moving averages, the stop is dynamically adjusted using structural invalidation level. This adapts to price action, allowing the trade to stay open during volatile retracements while locking in gains as new structure forms.
Why This Matters: Most strategies use rigid trailing stops (e.g., below the 10EMA), which often exit prematurely in choppy markets. By trailing based on structure, this strategy avoids "noise" and captures larger trends, directly boosting overall returns.
----
What markets or timeframes is this suited for?
This is a long-only strategy designed for trending markets, and it performs best in:
Markets: Stocks (especially high-growth, liquid equities), cryptocurrencies (major pairs with strong volatility), commodities (e.g., oil, gold), and futures (index/commodity futures).
Timeframes: Primarily daily charts for swing trades (1-30 day holds), though weekly charts can help confirm broader trends.
Key Advantage: The TradingView script allows instant backtesting with adjustable parameters
You can:
- Test historical performance across multiple markets to identify which assets align best with the strategy.
- Optimize settings (e.g., trailing stop sensitivity, moving averages etc.) to match a market’s volatility profile.
Build a diversified portfolio by filtering for markets that show consistent profitability in backtests.
For example, you might discover cryptos require tighter trailing stops due to volatility, while stocks thrive with wider structural stops. The script automates this analysis, letting you to trade confidently.
----
What indicators or tools does the strategy use?
The strategy combines customizable technical tools with strict anti-lookahead safeguards:
Core Indicators:
Moving Averages: Adjustable periods (e.g., 20/50/200 EMA or SMA) and timeframes (daily/weekly) to confirm trend alignment. Users can test combinations (e.g., 10EMA vs. 20EMA) to optimize for specific markets.
Breakout Parameters:
Consolidation Length: Adjustable window to define the "tightness" of the pre-breakout pattern.
Entry Models: Flexible entry logics (Breakouts and fractals)
Anti-Lookahead Design:
All calculations (e.g., moving averages, consolidation ranges, volume averages) use only closed/confirmed data available at the time of the signal.
----
How do I manage risk with this strategy?
The strategy prioritizes customizable risk controls to align with your trading style and account size:
User-Defined Risk Inputs:
Risk Per Trade: Set a % of Equity (e.g., 1-2%) to determine position size. The strategy auto-calculates shares/contracts to match your selected risk per trade.
Flexibility: Choose between fixed risk or equity-based scaling.
The script adjusts position sizing dynamically based on your selection.
Pyramiding Feature:
Customizable Entries: Adjust the number of pyramiding trades allowed (e.g., 1-3 additional positions) in the strategy settings. Each new entry is triggered only if the prior trade hits its 1.5x RR target and the trend remains intact.
Risk-Scaled Additions: New positions use profits from prior trades, compounding gains without increasing initial risk.
Risk-Free Trade Mechanic:
Once a trade reaches 1.5x RR, the stop loss is moved to breakeven, eliminating downside risk.
The strategy then opens a new position (if pyramiding is enabled) using a portion of the locked-in profit. This "snowballs" winners while keeping total capital exposure stable.
Impact on Net Profit & Drawdown:
Net Profit Boost: Pyramiding lets you ride multi-leg trends aggressively. For example, a 100% runner could generate 2-3x more profit vs. a single-entry approach.
Controlled Drawdowns: Since new positions are funded by profits (not initial capital), max drawdown stays anchored to your original risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of account). Even if later entries fail, the breakeven stop on prior trades protects overall equity.
Why This Works: Most strategies either over-leverage (increasing drawdowns) or exit too early. By recycling profits into new positions only after securing risk-free capital, this approach mimics hedge fund "scaling in" tactics while staying retail-trader friendly.
----
How does the strategy identify market structure for its trailing stoploss?
The strategy identifies market structure by utilizing an efficient logic with for loops to pinpoint the first swing candle that features a pivot of 2. This marks the beginning of the break of structure, where the market's previous trend or pattern is considered invalidated or changed.
----
What are the underlying calculations?
The underlying calculations involve:
Identifying Swing Points: The strategy looks for swing highs (marked with blue Xs) and swing lows (marked with red Xs). A swing high is identified when a candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles before and after it. Conversely, a swing low is when a candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles before and after it.
Break of Structure (BOS):
Bullish BOS: This occurs when the price breaks above the swing high level of the previous structure, indicating a potential shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish BOS: This happens when the price breaks below the swing low level of the previous structure, signaling a potential shift to a bearish trend.
Structural Liquidity and Invalidation:
Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish BOS or the first swing low in a bearish BOS.
Structural Invalidation: If the price moves back to the level of the first swing low before the bullish BOS or the first swing high before the bearish BOS, it invalidates the break of structure, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the previous trend.
This method provides users with a technical approach to filter market regimes, offering an advantage by minimizing the risk of overfitting to historical data, which is often a concern with traditional indicators like moving averages.
By focusing on identifying pivotal swing points and the subsequent breaks of structure, the strategy maintains a balance between sensitivity to market changes and robustness against historical data anomalies, ensuring a more adaptable and potentially more reliable market analysis tool.
----
What entry criteria are used in this script?
The script uses two entry models for trading decisions: BreakOut and Fractal.
Underlying Calculations:
Breakout: The script records the most recent swing high by storing it in a variable. When the price closes above this recorded level, and all other predefined conditions are satisfied, the script triggers a breakout entry. This approach is considered conservative because it waits for the price to confirm a breakout above the previous high before entering a trade. As shown in the image, as soon as the price closes above the new candle (first tick), the long entry gets taken. The stop-loss is initially set and then moved to break-even once the price moves in favor of the trade.
Fractal: This method involves identifying a swing low with a period of 2, which means it looks for a low point where the price is lower than the two candles before and after it. Once this pattern is detected, the script executes the trade. This is an aggressive approach since it doesn't wait for further price confirmation. In the image, this is represented by the 'Fractal 2' label where the script identifies and acts on the swing low pattern.
----
What type of stop-loss identification method are used in this strategy?
This strategy employs two types of stop-loss methods: Initial Stop-loss and Trailing Stop-Loss.
Underlying Calculations:
Initial Stop-loss:
ATR Based: The strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set an initial stop-loss, which helps in accounting for market volatility without predicting price direction.
Calculation:
- First, the True Range (TR) is calculated for each period, which is the greatest of:
- Current Period High - Current Period Low
- Absolute Value of Current Period High - Previous Period Close
- Absolute Value of Current Period Low - Previous Period Close
- The ATR is then the moving average of these TR values over a specified period, typically 14 periods by default. This ATR value can be used to set the stop-loss at a distance from the entry price that reflects the current market volatility.
Swing Low Based:
For this method, the stop-loss is set based on the most recent swing low identified in the market structure analysis. This approach uses the lowest point of the recent price action as a reference for setting the stop-loss.
Trailing Stop-Loss:
The strategy uses structural liquidity and structural invalidation levels across multiple timeframes to adjust the stop-loss once the trade is profitable. This method involves:
Detecting Structural Liquidity: After a break of structure, the liquidity levels are updated to the first swing high in a bullish scenario or the first swing low in a bearish scenario. These levels serve as potential areas where the price might find support or resistance, allowing the stop-loss to trail the price movement.
Detecting Structural Invalidation: If the price returns to the level of the first swing low before a bullish break of structure or the first swing high before a bearish break of structure, it suggests the trend might be reversing or invalidating, prompting the adjustment of the stop-loss to lock in profits or minimize losses.
By using these methods, the strategy dynamically adjusts the initial stop-loss based on market volatility, helping to protect against adverse price movements while allowing for enough room for trades to develop. The ATR-based stop-loss adapts to the current market conditions by considering the volatility, ensuring that the stop-loss is not too tight during volatile periods, which could lead to premature exits, nor too loose during calm markets, which might result in larger losses. Similarly, the swing low based stop-loss provides a logical exit point if the market structure changes unfavorably.
Each market behaves differently across various timeframes, and it is essential to test different parameters and optimizations to find out which trailing stop-loss method gives you the desired results and performance. This involves backtesting the strategy with different settings for the ATR period, the distance from the swing low, and how the trailing stop-loss reacts to structural liquidity and invalidation levels.
Through this process, you can tailor the strategy to perform optimally in different market environments, ensuring that the stop-loss mechanism supports the trade's longevity while safeguarding against significant drawdowns.
----
What type of break-even method is used in this strategy? What are the underlying calculations?
Moves the initial stop-loss to the entry price when the price reaches a certain RR ratio.
Calculation:
Break-even level = Entry Price + (Initial Risk * RR Ratio)
----
What tables are available in this script?
- Summary: Provides a general overview, displaying key performance parameters such as Net Profit, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Average Trade, Closed Trades and more.
Total Commission: Displays the cumulative commissions incurred from all trades executed within the selected backtesting window. This value is derived by summing the commission fees for each trade on your chart.
Average Commission: Represents the average commission per trade, calculated by dividing the Total Commission by the total number of closed trades. This metric is crucial for assessing the impact of trading costs on overall profitability.
Avg Trade: The sum of money gained or lost by the average trade generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the Net Profit by the overall number of closed trades. An important value since it must be large enough to cover the commission and slippage costs of trading the strategy and still bring a profit.
MaxDD: Displays the largest drawdown of losses, i.e., the maximum possible loss that the strategy could have incurred among all of the trades it has made. This value is calculated separately for every bar that the strategy spends with an open position.
Profit Factor: The amount of money a trading strategy made for every unit of money it lost (in the selected currency). This value is calculated by dividing gross profits by gross losses.
Avg RR: This is calculated by dividing the average winning trade by the average losing trade. This field is not a very meaningful value by itself because it does not take into account the ratio of the number of winning vs losing trades, and strategies can have different approaches to profitability. A strategy may trade at every possibility in order to capture many small profits, yet have an average losing trade greater than the average winning trade. The higher this value is, the better, but it should be considered together with the percentage of winning trades and the net profit.
Winrate: The percentage of winning trades generated by a strategy. Calculated by dividing the number of winning trades by the total number of closed trades generated by a strategy. Percent profitable is not a very reliable measure by itself. A strategy could have many small winning trades, making the percent profitable high with a small average winning trade, or a few big winning trades accounting for a low percent profitable and a big average winning trade. Most mean-reversion successful strategies have a percent profitability of 40-80% but are profitable due to risk management control.
BE Trades: Number of break-even trades, excluding commission/slippage.
Losing Trades: The total number of losing trades generated by the strategy.
Winning Trades: The total number of winning trades generated by the strategy.
Total Trades: Total number of taken traders visible your charts.
Net Profit: The overall profit or loss (in the selected currency) achieved by the trading strategy in the test period. The value is the sum of all values from the Profit column (on the List of Trades tab), taking into account the sign.
- Monthly: Displays performance data on a month-by-month basis, allowing users to analyze performance trends over each month and year.
- Weekly: Displays performance data on a week-by-week basis, helping users to understand weekly performance variations.
- UI Table: A user-friendly table that allows users to view and save the selected strategy parameters from user inputs. This table enables easy access to key settings and configurations, providing a straightforward solution for saving strategy parameters by simply taking a screenshot with Alt + S or ⌥ + S.

Bull candle : ((CLOSE - LOW ) + (HIGH -OPEN) / 2 ) / Candle length
Bear candle: ((HIGH - CLOSE ) + (OPEN-LOW ) / 2 ) / Candle length
Once we have the candle we use moving average to smooth the process, and then we calculate the differece between the bull ma and bear ma.
The result is going to be our histogram.
Once we have the histogram we can start setting up rules for entries and exit.
If you have any question, please let me know!
