Doji strategyThis is a simple strategy based on Doji star candlestick.
It places two orders: buy stop at doji star high or previous candle high and sell stop at doji star low or previous candle low.
Exit rules are with take profit and fixed stop loss or take profit and stop loss at doji min or max.
This strategy works very well with high time frames like Daily and Weekly because those are without noise in doji formation.
Each currency pair has its own optimal setting for TP and SL: it's up to user find the best ones.
I could implement SL based on ATR, maybe in next revision.

cryptomars 1.0 signal Concussion trend
Description:
1. In the indicator, there is an orange signal that fluctuates linearly. It is a buy signal when it goes from bottom to top. When the signal line remains in the upper position, it indicates a multi-party trend.
2. When it goes from top to bottom, it indicates a sell signal. When the signal line remains below, it indicates a sales trend.
3. Depending on the time level, when the position of the signal line changes, determine whether the current candle is completed or not according to the time level of the chart you selected to determine the signal. For example, if you select a chart level of 5 meters, then when the signal line changes, for example, it will send a sell signal from top to bottom. At this time, please do not rush to sell. You should wait for this 5 meter candlestick to complete. When the candle is over and the next candle is started, if the signal line remains in the top-down form, the sell signal is normal and you can sell it.
Because the position of the signal appears, it is the location of the sale. During the completion of the candlestick , the signal may disappear after disappearing. We only have to wait for a while to get a more stable deal.
4. The alarm setting is very simple. There are two lines in the indicator. One is the orange signal line that fluctuates up and down, and the other is the fixed zero line of “zero”.
We set it in the alarm. When the signal line passes "zero" from the top, the short signal is sent only when the candle map is completed. When the signal line passes "zero" from "up" below, the signal is sent for a long time when the candlestick is completed.
One trick, the appearance of the signal, is that the price runs in one direction for a while, so it appears at or near the bottom. Because, when we have already made a profit in the transaction, we can make a profit in advance, and we do not need to wait for the opposite signal to stop the profit and reduce the risk of profit retracement.
Because in this market, the fluctuations are very large, and the people who compete are also very fierce. What we need to do is to make every transaction as possible, and we are all profitable. If we sell and find that the price is still rising, please don't feel sorry, don't consider eating all the profits.
6. When the signal appears, in most cases, even in the impact trend, it will still run a distance in the direction of the signal, that is, you will profit, so please close the position and make a profit in time. Otherwise, when the price volatility is too small, you miss the profit point, the price starts to run in the opposite direction, and you may change from profit to loss.
BITMEX's trailing stop loss is a great feature, please use it flexibly.
7, if it is a shock trend, please try not to trade.
8. We recommend that you turn on the “cryptomars 3.0” and “cryptomars 2.0” indicators. No matter who signs the trade first, you can trade, which can help you get more profit.
9. Remember, I hope this indicator will be your powerful assistant, but please don't rely on it completely. Learning more trading knowledge and skills is even more important. Therefore, when we consider the profitable position, you can use your trading skills, MACD , KDJ, etc. to assist and profit in a more suitable position.

3 HULLs & ICHIMOKU divided by PRICEBasically just another form of moving average, for quick swings, built for testing/use with API cryptobots, simple switch from buy to sell.
Hull MA(2 candles back) times 3 plus Ichimoku divided by price(1 candle back) = value1
Hull MA(3 candles back) times 3 plus Ichimoku divided by price(1 candle back) = value2
if value1>value2 then buy else sell
calculates price from 1 candle back, and calculates signal from 2nd and 3rd candle prices, so no repainting? so best on low timeframes.
for when use in bot, would not need 1 candle lag. Lag is for TV chartists to not have to suffer repainting.
Bots do not repaint. they are not "painting" anything, they simply open or close orders, which cannot be "repainted"
but here on TV chart, when you refresh the browser page, the script recalculates, and signals may be repainted.
hopefully this will not repaint. please test. thankyou
Crypto TS - Ultimate BTCUSDThis is an "advanced" trend follower Trading system, specifically developed for Bitcoin.
In this project the strategy combines two time frames, daily and 4h bars.
Bitcoin's trend is analyzed in background with Normal candlestick and Heikin-Ashi candlestick.
The operations start from the first trading day (01/01/2017) but you can change this by the following input variables:
From Month
From Day
From Year
First trading day: 01/01/2017
Initial Capital: 1000 $
net profit: 1254 %
To use this Trading system open the BTCUSD 4h Bitfinex chart and apply this strategy.
This Trading system can be fully automated to buy and sell automatically on major exchanges.
Heikin Ashi Trend StrategyStrategy Overview
Uses two timeframes to combine and identify trends for buying + selling securities. Works well on Bitcoin, currencies and indices.
Usage
This strategy should be used on 1-hour or 4-hour candles. Try it on 4-hour bitcoin for example.
Normal candles are fine but lead to more fakeouts. Heiken ashi candles lead to fewer trades and longer hodling of the trend but harder to enter/exit because Heiken Ashi candles are not true prices.
Strategy results
In my testing I ran the backtest from mid December onwards to capture the very tricky bear market that bitcoin has suffered. In this market it made huge profits from a $100k initial virtual account. Profit ratio is very high and trade success rate very high. However, a warning. In live trading it will flip BUY/SELL as the trend changes . This is a bug / flaw in the TradingView scripting engine in my opinion. It should not change past buy or sell signals. So to confirm the trend signal you want to see at least one block of the orange indicator complete or maybe use this indicator in combination with other.
Watch it for confirmation of keeping in existing trades and don't do everything it says as it says or bet the farm or you may rekt. Would recommend paper trading to understand the indicator + the signals.
My advice would be not to short an uptrend and not to long a downtrend. Some of the most profitable trades are with the trend and not the whips + saws.
Inputs
Trade Short? Default false. When true generates short trades not just close long
Backtest Start Year/Month/Day. Limits the backtest window to a certain timeframe to test tricky markets
Higher Timeframe: The length of the higher timeframe to monitor
Lower timeframe: The length of the lower timeframe to monitor
Show trades? When true shows the buy sell trades and performs the backtest. When false its just an indicator

BOLLedOver
Stop Loss % STOPs will be placed and ratchet up following stops with each 1% increase in price action.
Bollinger Bands Time Period indicates 7 candles. BOLLedOver runs best at 15 minutes periods. Try your own setting with plenty of backtesting.
Buy ROC Length number of candles averaged for positive rate of change, which gives the go ahead to act on a BUY signal. When markets are heading south the BOT goes to sleep. You might get a STOP LOSS haircut (default 3%, 2 to 1 chance if you are in a position), but no trade chattering in whipsaw downward spirals after that.
Sell ROC Length number of candles averaged for a negative rate of change, which gives the go ahead to act on a SELL signal. Note: the tighter the Bollinger Bands (e.g. 5) the less likely a SELL will process before a STOP LOSS is reached making this parameter useless in those cases.
MACD – the moving average convergence/divergence is used to check the validity of BUY and SELL signals
MACD Fast Period
MACD Slow Period
MACD Signal Smoothing
Average Volume Length used to assert that SELL signals are accompanied by meaning full volume.

TEMA Cross with Renko BoxesThis is a pretty simple microprofit strategy with a couple twists:
Renko boxes plot fixed price changes over variable amounts of time, rather than plotting varying price changes over fixed amounts of time like conventional candlesticks. This makes price trends much simpler to identify, and that's what we ultimately care about.
Triple exponential moving average is a moving average that has considerably less lag compared to a regular EMA.
Buying and selling is simple, buy when TEMA crosses above a short-term SMA, and sell when TEMA crosses below the short-term SMA. The use of Renko candles makes these crosses more reliable, and TEMA gives us more optimal entries and exits.
We also avoid buying if the price is above a longer-term smoothed moving average. This is an attempt to avoid bags but it means we might miss a few trades right after a pump.
Also included are
avg_protection -- if > 0 we only buy if it will reduce our average bought price
gain_protection -- if >0 only sell once we have met our min_gain
I prefer to use a fixed price increment (traditional Renko) rather than ATR. I start with an increment roughly 0.1% of the current price level and see how the chart looks. It's better if the chart has a lot of big zig-zags. Larger price increments will be less noisy and more reliable, and is more suited for longer-term swing trading.
This strat needs to be used with tiny tiny order sizes and can definitely be improved upon. It does not maximize gains on very rapid pumps.
It basically accumulates a long position with many small buys over and over when the price is below average, until there is an opportunity to sell for a profit. In a pump there is not a lot of time to re-accumulate a position after the first sell.
Hanzo Strategy - Volume & Smart Money📊 HANZO STRATEGY - Complete Description
## 🎯 Strategy Overview
The **Hanzo Strategy** is an advanced institutional trading system that combines Volume Profile analysis, Smart Money Concepts, and Price Action patterns to identify high-probability trade setups. This strategy is specifically designed for trading Gold (XAUUSD), NAS100, and US30 on the 15-minute timeframe.
---
## 🧠 Core Trading Philosophy
The Hanzo Strategy operates on the principle that **institutional money leaves footprints** in the market through:
- Volume accumulation at key price levels
- Liquidity sweeps and stop hunts
- Order block formations
- Strategic wick rejections at support/resistance
By identifying these institutional behaviors and combining them with precise volume analysis, the strategy aims to trade **with** the smart money, not against it.
---
## 🔑 Key Components
### 1️⃣ **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)**
- **What it does:** Analyzes the last 2 days of price action and calculates where the most volume traded
- **Point of Control (POC):** The price level with the highest trading volume - acts as a magnet for price
- **How we use it:** Price tends to revert to POC. When price is far from POC and starts moving toward it, we prepare for entries
- **Visual:** Yellow cross line on the chart marking the POC
### 2️⃣ **Wick Cluster Detection**
- **What it does:** Automatically identifies price levels where multiple candle wicks have rejected (2-6+ wicks)
- **Why it matters:** Multiple rejections at the same level indicate strong institutional support/resistance
- **Upper wick clusters:** Resistance zones where price was rejected downward
- **Lower wick clusters:** Support zones where price was rejected upward
- **Visual:** Dashed lines (red for resistance, green for support)
### 3️⃣ **Session Volatility Boxes**
- **London Session (8:00-16:00 UTC+3):** Captures European market volatility range
- **New York Session (13:30-20:00 UTC+3):** Captures US market volatility range
- **How we use it:** These ranges often act as support/resistance for the rest of the day
- **Visual:** Blue box for London, Orange box for New York
### 4️⃣ **Smart Money Zones**
**Order Blocks:**
- Strong institutional areas where banks and hedge funds placed large orders
- **Bullish Order Block:** Area where smart money bought heavily before a strong upward move
- **Bearish Order Block:** Area where smart money sold heavily before a strong downward move
- **Visual:** Green/Red filled boxes with "Bull OB" or "Bear OB" labels
**Liquidity Sweeps:**
- Price breaks above recent high or below recent low, then quickly reverses
- This is a "stop hunt" - institutions triggering retail stops before moving in the real direction
- **Bullish Sweep:** Price dips below support, grabs stops, then reverses up
- **Bearish Sweep:** Price pops above resistance, grabs stops, then reverses down
- **Visual:** Triangle markers (green up = bullish, red down = bearish)
### 5️⃣ **Engulfing Pattern Recognition**
- **Bullish Engulfing:** Large green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle - shows strong buying pressure
- **Bearish Engulfing:** Large red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle - shows strong selling pressure
- **How we use it:** Confirmation signal when combined with other factors
- **Visual:** Small circles below/above candles
### 6️⃣ **Trend Bias Indicator**
- Dynamically calculates market bias based on price position relative to POC
- **Bullish:** Price > 0.2% above POC
- **Neutral:** Price within 0.2% of POC
- **Bearish:** Price > 0.2% below POC
- **Visual:** Label at top of chart showing current bias
---
## 📈 Entry Signal Logic
The strategy generates **LONG** and **SHORT** signals based on confluence of multiple factors:
### 🟢 LONG ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses above POC from below + Trend Bias is Bullish
**OR**
2. **Support Bounce:** Price touches a lower wick cluster + Bullish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bearish
### 🔴 SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses below POC from above + Trend Bias is Bearish
**OR**
2. **Resistance Rejection:** Price touches an upper wick cluster + Bearish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bullish
---
## 🎯 Risk Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Calculation:** 2 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Logic:** Uses Average True Range to adapt to current market volatility
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, stop loss is 20 points away
### Take Profit:
- **Calculation:** 3 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Risk:Reward Ratio:** 1:1.5 (risking 2 ATR to make 3 ATR)
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, take profit is 30 points away
### Position Sizing:
- **Default:** 2% of account equity per trade
- **Adjustable:** Can be modified in strategy settings

## 💡 Pro Trading Tips
### 1. **Multiple Timeframe Confirmation**
- Check 1-hour chart for overall trend before taking 15-minute signals
- Only take LONG signals if 1-hour is bullish
- Only take SHORT signals if 1-hour is bearish
### 2. **POC Strategy**
- Best entries occur when price returns to POC after being far away
- Wait for POC touch + confirmation pattern (engulfing, order block)
- POC acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
### 3. **Wick Cluster Strategy**
- Strongest signals occur when wick clusters align with POC
- Look for 4+ wicks at the same level for highest probability
- Recent clusters (formed in last 2 days) are stronger than old ones
### 4. **Order Block Strategy**
- Fresh order blocks (just formed) are more powerful
- Wait for price to return to order block zone before entering
- Best when order block + wick cluster occur at same level
### 5. **London/NY Box Strategy**
- If price breaks above session high → look for LONG pullback entries
- If price breaks below session low → look for SHORT pullback entries
- Price often returns to session mid-point before continuing
### 6. **Risk Management Rules**
- **Never risk more than 2% per trade**
- **Don't trade more than 3 positions simultaneously**
- **If 2 losses in a row, reduce size to 1% or stop for the day**
- **Move stop to breakeven after 1:1 profit reached**
### 7. **High-Probability Setups**
Look for **CONFLUENCE** - the more factors aligned, the better:
✅ **BEST LONG SETUP:**
- Price at lower wick cluster (support)
- Price at/near POC
- Bullish order block present
- Bullish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bullish
- 1-hour chart = uptrend
✅ **BEST SHORT SETUP:**
- Price at upper wick cluster (resistance)
- Price at/near POC
- Bearish order block present
- Bearish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bearish
- 1-hour chart = downtrend

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

Golden Cross 50/200 EMATrend-following systems are characterized by having a low win rate, yet in the right circumstances (trending markets and higher timeframes) they can deliver returns that even surpass those of systems with a high win rate.
Below, I show you a simple bullish trend-following system with clear execution rules:
System Rules
-Long entries when the 50-period EMA crosses above the 200-period EMA.
-Stop Loss (SL) placed at the lowest low of the 15 candles prior to the entry candle.
-Take Profit (TP) triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses below the 200-period EMA.
Risk Management
-Initial capital: $10,000
-Position size: 10% of capital per trade
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade
Important Note:
In the code, the stop loss is defined using the swing low (15 candles), but the position size is not adjusted based on the distance to the stop loss. In other words, 10% of the equity is risked on each trade, but the actual loss on the trade is not controlled by a maximum fixed percentage of the account — it depends entirely on the stop loss level. This means the loss on a single trade could be significantly higher or lower than 10% of the account equity, depending on volatility.
Implementing leverage or reducing position size based on volatility is something I haven’t been able to include in the code, but it would dramatically improve the system’s performance. It would fix a consistent percentage loss per trade, preventing losses from fluctuating wildly with changes in volatility.
For example, we can maintain a fixed loss percentage when volatility is low by using the following formula:
Leverage = % of SL you’re willing to risk / % volatility from entry point to stop loss
And when volatility is high and would exceed the fixed percentage we want to expose per trade (if the SL is hit), we could reduce the position size accordingly.
Practical example:
Imagine we only want to risk 15% of the position value if the stop loss is triggered on Tesla (which has high volatility), but the distance to the SL represents a potential 23.57% drop. In this case, we subtract the desired risk (15%) from the actual volatility-based loss (23.57%):
23.57% − 15% = 8.57%
Now suppose we normally use $200 per trade.
To calculate 8.57% of $200:
200 × (8.57 / 100) = $17.14
Then subtract that amount from the original position size:
$200 − $17.14 = $182.86
In summary:
If we reduce the position size to $182.86 (instead of the usual $200), even if Tesla moves 23.57% against us and hits the stop loss, we would still only lose approximately 15% of the original $200 position — exactly the risk level we defined. This way, we strictly respect our risk management rules regardless of volatility swings.
I hope this clearly explains the importance of capping losses at a fixed percentage per trade. This keeps risk under control while maintaining a consistent percentage of capital invested per trade — preventing both statistical distortion of the system and the potential destruction of the account.
About the code:
Strategy declaration:
The strategy is named 'Golden Cross 50/200 EMA'.
overlay=true means it will be drawn directly on the price chart.
initial_capital=10000 sets the initial capital to $10,000.
default_qty_type=strategy.percent_of_equity and default_qty_value=10 means each trade uses 10% of available equity.
margin_long=0 indicates no margin is used for long positions (this is likely for simulation purposes only; in real trading, margin would be required).
commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 sets a 0.1% commission per trade.
Indicators:
Calculates two EMAs: a 50-period EMA (ema50) and a 200-period EMA (ema200).
Crossover detection:
bullCross is triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses above the 200-period EMA (Golden Cross).
bearCross is triggered when the 50-period EMA crosses below the 200-period EMA (Death Cross).
Recent swing:
swingLow calculates the lowest low of the previous 15 periods.
Stop Loss:
entryStopLoss is a variable initialized as na (not available) and is updated to the current swingLow value whenever a bullCross occurs.
Entry and exit conditions:
Entry: When a bullCross occurs, the initial stop loss is set to the current swingLow and a long position is opened.
Exit on opposite signal: When a bearCross occurs, the long position is closed.
Exit on stop loss: If the price falls below entryStopLoss while a position is open, the position is closed.
Visualization:
Both EMAs are plotted (50-period in blue, 200-period in red).
Green triangles are plotted below the bar on a bullCross, and red triangles above the bar on a bearCross.
A horizontal orange line is drawn that shows the stop loss level whenever a position is open.

Quantura - Quantified Price Action StrategyIntroduction
“Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” is an invite-only Pine Script strategy designed to combine multiple price action concepts into a single trading framework. It integrates supply and demand zones, liquidity sweeps and runs, fair value gaps (FVGs), RSI filters, and EMA trend confirmation. The strategy also provides a visual overlay with dynamic trend-colored candles for easier chart interpretation. It is intended for multi-market use across cryptocurrencies, Forex, equities, and indices.
Originality & Value
The strategy is original in how it unifies several institutional-style price action elements and validates trades only when they align. This reduces noise compared to using single indicators in isolation. Its unique value lies in the combination of:
Supply & Demand detection: Dynamic boxes identified through pivots, ATR, and volume sensitivity.
Liquidity sweeps and runs: Detects when swing highs/lows are broken and retested, distinguishing between liquidity grabs (sweeps) and directional runs.
RSI filter: Can be set to normal or aggressive, confirming momentum before trades.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Optional detection and filtering of price inefficiencies.
EMA filter: Aligns trades with the broader market trend.
Trend candle visualization: Candles dynamically colored bullish, bearish, or neutral, based on strategy positions.
This layered confluence approach ensures that entries are not taken on a single condition but require agreement across several dimensions of market structure, momentum, and order flow.
Functionality & Indicators
Supply & Demand Zones: Zones are created when pivots, ATR sensitivity, and volume thresholds overlap.
Liquidity: Swing highs and lows are tracked, with options for sweep (fakeout/reversal) or run (continuation) detection.
RSI: Confirms long signals when oversold and shorts when overbought, with configurable aggressiveness.
FVG filter: Adds validation by requiring price interaction with inefficiency zones.
EMA filter: Ensures longs are above EMA and shorts below EMA.
Signals & Visualization: Trade entries are marked on the chart, while candles change color to reflect trade direction and status.
Parameters & Customization
Supply & Demand: Sensitivity (swing range, volume multiplier, ATR multiplier) and display options.
Liquidity filter: Mode (Run or Sweep), display, and swing length.
RSI: Enable/disable, length, and style (normal or aggressive).
Fair Value Gaps: Sensitivity via ATR factor, optional volume filter, and display toggles.
EMA: Length, enable/disable, and visualization.
Risk management: Up to three configurable take-profit levels, stop-loss, break-even logic, and capital-based position sizing.
Visualization: Custom candle coloring and optional overlay for better clarity.
Default Properties (Strategy Settings)
Initial Capital: 10,000 USD
Position Size: 100% of equity per trade (backtest default)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1
Pyramiding: 0 (only one position at a time)
Note: The default of 100% equity per trade is used for testing purposes only and would not be sustainable in real trading. A typical allocation in practice would be between 1–5% of account equity per trade, sometimes up to 10%.
Backtesting & Performance
Backtests on XPTUSD over 2.5 years with the default settings produced:
164 trades
67.68% win rate
Profit factor: 1.7
Maximum drawdown: 27.81%
These results show how the confluence of supply/demand, liquidity, and RSI filters can produce robust setups. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. While the trade count (164) is sufficient for statistical analysis, results may vary across markets and timeframes.
Risk Management
Three configurable take-profit levels with percentage allocation.
Initial stop-loss based on user-defined percentage.
Dynamic stop-loss that adjusts with market movement.
Break-even logic that shifts stops to entry after predefined gains.
Position sizing based on risk percentage of equity.
This framework allows both conservative and aggressive configurations, depending on user preference.
Limitations & Market Conditions
Works best in volatile and liquid markets such as crypto, metals, indices, and FX.
May produce false signals in low-volume or sideways environments.
Unexpected news or macro events can override technical conditions.
Default position sizing of 100% equity is highly aggressive and should be reduced before any practical use.
Usage Guide
Add “Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” to your chart.
Select Supply & Demand, Liquidity, RSI, EMA, and FVG settings according to your market and timeframe.
Configure risk management: take-profits, stop-loss, and risk-per-trade percentage.
Use the Strategy Tester to analyze statistics, equity curve, and performance under different conditions.
Optimize parameters before applying the strategy to different markets.

Tristan's Tri-band StrategyTristan's Tri-band Strategy - Confluence Trading System
Strategy Overview:
This strategy combines three powerful technical indicators - RSI, Williams %R, and Bollinger Bands - into a single visual trading system. Instead of cluttering your chart with separate indicator panels, all signals are displayed directly on the price chart using color-coded gradient overlays, making it easy to spot high-probability trade setups at a glance.
How It Works:
The strategy identifies trading opportunities when multiple indicators align (confluence), suggesting strong momentum shifts:
📈 Long Entry Signals:
RSI drops to 30 or below (oversold)
Williams %R reaches -80 to -100 range (oversold)
Price touches or breaks below the lower Bollinger Band
All three conditions must align during your selected trading session
📉 Short Entry Signals:
RSI rises to 70 or above (overbought)
Williams %R reaches 0 to -20 range (overbought)
Price touches or breaks above the upper Bollinger Band
All three conditions must align during your selected trading session
Visual Indicators:
(faint) Green gradients below candles = Bullish oversold conditions (buying opportunity)
(faint) Red/Orange gradients above candles = Bearish overbought conditions (selling opportunity)
Stacked/brighter gradients = Multiple indicators confirming the same signal (higher probability) will stack and show brighter / less faint
Blue Bollinger Bands = Volatility boundaries and mean reversion zones
Exit Strategy:
Long trades exit when price reaches the upper Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes overbought (≥70)
Short trades exit when price reaches the lower Bollinger Band OR RSI becomes oversold (≤30)
Key Features:
✅ Session Filters - Trade only during NY (9:30 AM-4 PM), London (3 AM-11:30 AM), or Asia (7 PM-1 AM EST) sessions
✅ No Repainting - Signals are confirmed on candle close for realistic backtesting and live trading
✅ Customizable Parameters - Adjust RSI levels, BB standard deviations, Williams %R periods, and gradient visibility
✅ Visual Clarity - See all three indicators at once without switching between panels
✅ Built-in Alerts - Get notified when entry and exit conditions are met
How to Use Effectively:
Choose Your Trading Session - For day trading US stocks, enable only the NY session. For forex or 24-hour markets, select the sessions that match your schedule.
Look for Gradient Stacking - The brightest, most visible gradients occur when both RSI and Williams %R signal together. These are your highest-probability setups.
Confirm with Price Action - Wait for the candle to close before entering. The strategy enters on the next bar's open to prevent repainting.
Respect the Bollinger Bands - Entries occur at the outer bands (price extremes), and exits occur at the opposite band or when momentum reverses.
Backtest First - Test the strategy on your preferred instruments and timeframes. Works best on liquid assets with clear trends and mean reversion patterns (stocks, major forex pairs, indices).
Adjust Gradient Visibility - Use the "Gradient Strength" slider (lower = more visible) to make signals stand out on your chart style.
Best Timeframes: 5-minute to 1-hour charts for intraday trading; 4-hour to daily for swing trading (I have also found the 3 hour timeframe to work really well for some stocks / ETFs.)
Best Markets: Liquid instruments with volatility - SPY, QQQ, major stocks, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, major indices
Risk Management: This is a mean reversion strategy that works best in ranging or choppy markets. In strong trends, signals may appear less frequently. Always use proper position sizing and stop losses based on your risk tolerance.

Note: Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is provided for educational purposes. Always backtest thoroughly and practice proper risk management before live trading.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses. Sonnet 4.5
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.
