MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal StrategyOverview
The MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal Strategy utilizes MACD indicator in conjunction with 1 day timeframe Stochastic indicators to obtain the high probability short-term trend reversal signals. The main idea is to wait until MACD line crosses up it’s signal line, at the same time Stochastic indicator on 1D time frame shall show the uptrend (will be discussed in methodology) and not to be in the oversold territory. Strategy works on time frames from 30 min to 4 hours and opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Higher time frame confirmation: Strategy utilizes 1D Stochastic to establish the major trend and confirm the local reversals with the higher probability.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
MACD line of MACD indicator shall cross over the signal line of MACD indicator.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line shall be above the D line.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line value shall be below 80 (not overbought)
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 3.25, value multiplied by ATR to be subtracted from position entry price to setup stop loss)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 4.25, value multiplied by ATR to be added to position entry price to setup trailing profit activation level)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20, period for EMA, when price reached trailing profit activation level EMA will stop out of position if price closes below it)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart, in our example we use default settings.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages 2 time frames analysis to have the high probability reversal setups on lower time frame in the direction of the 1D time frame trend. That’s why it’s recommended to use this strategy on 30 min – 4 hours time frames.
To have an approximation of 1D time frame trend strategy utilizes classical Stochastic indicator. The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period. It's used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 80 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 20 indicating oversold conditions.
It consists of two lines:
%K: The main line, calculated using the formula (CurrentClose−LowestLow)/(HighestHigh−LowestLow)×100 . Highest and lowest price taken for 14 periods.
%D: A smoothed moving average of %K, often used as a signal line.
Strategy logic assumes that on 1D time frame it’s uptrend in %K line is above the %D line. Moreover, we can consider long trade only in %K line is below 80. It means that in overbought state the long trade will not be opened due to higher probability of pullback or even major trend reversal. If these conditions are met we are going to our working (lower) time frame.
On the chosen time frame, we remind you that for correct work of this strategy you shall use 30min – 4h time frames, MACD line shall cross over it’s signal line. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular momentum and trend-following indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD consists of three components:
MACD Line: This is the difference between a short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a long-term EMA, typically calculated as: MACD Line=12-period EMA−26-period
Signal Line: This is a 9-period EMA of the MACD Line, which helps to identify buy or sell signals. When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line, it can be a bullish signal (suggesting a buy); when it crosses below, it can be a bearish signal (suggesting a sell).
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line, visually representing the momentum of the trend. Positive histogram values indicate increasing bullish momentum, while negative values indicate increasing bearish momentum.
In our script we are interested in only MACD and signal lines. When MACD line crosses signal line there is a high chance that short-term trend reversed to the upside. We use this strategy on 45 min time frame.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements.

Dual RSI Differential - Strategy [presentTrading]█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual RSI Differential Strategy introduces a nuanced approach to market analysis and trading decisions by utilizing two Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators calculated over different time periods. Unlike traditional strategies that employ a single RSI and may signal premature or delayed entries, this method leverages the differential between a shorter and a longer RSI. This approach pinpoints more precise entry and exit points, providing a refined tool for traders to exploit market conditions effectively, particularly in overbought and oversold scenarios.
Most important: it is a good eductional code for swing trading.
For beginners, this Pine Script provides a complete function that includes crucial elements such as holding days and the option to configure take profit/stop loss settings:
- Hold Days: This feature ensures that trades are not exited too hastily, helping traders to ride out short-term market volatility. It's particularly valuable for swing trading where maintaining positions slightly longer can lead to capturing significant trends.
- TPSL Condition (None by default): This setting allows traders to focus solely on the strategy's robust entry and exit signals without being constrained by preset profit or loss limits. This flexibility is crucial for learning to adjust strategy settings based on personal risk tolerance and market observations.
BTCUSD 6h LS Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 RSI Calculation:
The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is calculated using the formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Where RS (Relative Strength) = Average Gain of up periods / Average Loss of down periods.
🔶 Dual RSI Setup:
This strategy involves two RSI indicators:
RSI_Short (RSI_21): Calculated over a short period (21 days).
RSI_Long (RSI_42): Calculated over a longer period (42 days).
Differential Calculation:
The strategy focuses on the differential between these two RSIs:
RSI Differential = RSI_Long - RSI_Short
This differential helps to identify when the shorter-term sentiment diverges from longer-term trends, signaling potential trading opportunities.
BTCUSD Local picuture
🔶 Signal Triggers:
Entry Signal: A buy (long) signal is triggered when the RSI Differential exceeds -5, suggesting strengthening short-term momentum. Conversely, a sell (short) signal occurs when the RSI Differential falls below +5, indicating weakening short-term momentum.
Exit Signal: Trades are generally exited when the RSI Differential reverses past these thresholds, indicating a potential momentum shift.
█ Trade Direction
This strategy accommodates various trading preferences by allowing selections among long, short, or both directions, thus enabling traders to capitalize on diverse market movements and volatility.
█ Usage
The Dual RSI Differential Strategy is particularly suited for:
Traders who prefer a systematic approach to capture market trends.
Those who seek to minimize risks associated with rapid and unexpected market movements.
Traders who value strategies that can be finely tuned to different market conditions.
█ Default Settings
- Trading Direction: Both — allows capturing of upward and downward market movements.
- Short RSI Period: 21 days — balances sensitivity to market movements.
- Long RSI Period: 42 days — smoothens out longer-term fluctuations to provide a clearer market trend.
- RSI Difference Level: 5 — minimizes false signals by setting a moderate threshold for action.
Use Hold Days: True — introduces a temporal element to trading strategy, holding positions to potentially enhance outcomes.
- Hold Days: 5 — ensures that trades are not exited too hastily, helping to ride out short-term volatility.
- TPSL Condition: None — enables traders to focus solely on the strategy's entry and exit signals without preset profit or loss limits.
- Take Profit Percentage: 15% — aims for significant market moves to lock in profits.
- Stop Loss Percentage: 10% — safeguards against large losses, essential for long-term capital preservation.
BBSR Extreme Strategy [nachodog]The Bollinger Bands Stochastic RSI Extreme Strategy is a comprehensive trading approach designed for use on the TradingView platform, employing a combination of Bollinger Bands and the Stochastic RSI to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. This strategy is converted into Pine Script version 5 and is specifically tailored as a strategy rather than a mere study, allowing traders to simulate and backtest their trades within the TradingView environment.
Strategy Overview:
Bollinger Bands serve as the primary tool for volatility and price level analysis. By calculating the standard deviation of price movements around a simple moving average (SMA), this strategy identifies the upper and lower bounds of price fluctuations, helping traders spot potential reversal points.
Stochastic RSI is used to gauge the momentum by comparing the closing price's position relative to its price range over a certain period. This indicator helps in determining overbought or oversold conditions, providing insights into potential bullish or bearish momentum.
Entry Signals:
Bullish Entry: The strategy signals a long entry when the price moves from below to above the lower Bollinger Band, coupled with a Stochastic RSI indicating an exit from oversold conditions. This suggests an uptrend initiation, prompting a buy order.
Bearish Entry: Conversely, a short entry is signaled when the price drops from above to below the upper Bollinger Band while the Stochastic RSI moves from overbought territory. This condition indicates a potential downtrend, triggering a sell order.
Exit Criteria:
Stop Loss: A key feature of this strategy is the inclusion of a user-defined stop loss percentage, which helps manage risk by specifying the maximum allowable loss per trade.
Bearish Exit for Long Positions: Long positions are exited either when a bearish signal is detected or when the price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting a reversal or weakening of the bullish trend.
Bullish Exit for Short Positions: Short positions are closed upon a bullish signal or when the price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal or diminishing bearish momentum.
Strategy Benefits:
The strategy provides a structured framework for entering and exiting trades, leveraging the strengths of both Bollinger Bands and Stochastic RSI.
It includes parameters for customization, such as the stop loss percentage, allowing traders to align the strategy with their risk tolerance and trading objectives.
The ability to backtest and simulate trades on TradingView enhances its utility, offering insights into the strategy's performance under historical market conditions.
Overall, the Bollinger Bands Stochastic RSI Extreme Strategy is designed for traders who seek to capitalize on trend reversals and momentum shifts, with built-in risk management features to safeguard against significant losses.
Session Breakout Scalper Trading BotHi Traders !
Introduction:
I have recently been exploring the world of automated algorithmic trading (as I prefer more objective trading strategies over subjective technical analysis (TA)) and would like to share one of my automation compatible (PineConnecter compatible) scripts “Session Breakout Scalper”.
The strategy is really simple and is based on time conditional breakouts although has more ”relatively” advanced optional features such as the regime indicators (Regime Filters) that attempt to filter out noise by adding more confluence states and the ATR multiple SL that takes into account volatility to mitigate the down side risk of the trade.
What is Algorthmic Trading:
Firstly what is algorithmic trading? Algorithmic trading also known as algo-trading, is a method of using computer programs (in this case pine script) to execute trades based on predetermined rules and instructions (this trading strategy). It's like having a robot trader who follows a strict set of commands to buy and sell assets automatically, without any human intervention.
Important Note:
For Algorithmic trading the strategy will require you having an essential TV subscription at the minimum (so that you can set alerts) plus a PineConnecter subscription (scroll down to the .”How does the strategy send signals” headings to read more)
The Strategy Explained:
Is the Time input true ? (this can be changed by toggling times under the “TRADE MEDIAN TIMES” group for user inputs).
Given the above is true the strategy waits x bars after the session and then calculates the highest high (HH) to lowest low (LL) range. For this box to form, the user defined amount of bars must print after the session. The box is symmetrical meaning the HH and LL are calculated over a lookback that is equal to the sum of user defined bars before and after the session (+ 1).
The Strategy then simultaneously defines the HH as the buy level (green line) and the LL as the sell level (red line). note the strategy will set stop orders at these levels respectively.
Enter a buy if price action crosses above the HH, and then cancel the sell order type (The opposite is true for a stop order).
If the momentum based regime filters are true the strategy will check for the regime / regimes to be true, if the regime if false the strategy will exit the current trade, as the regime filter has predicted a slowing / reversal of momentum.
The image below shows the strategy executing these trading rules ( Regime filters, "Trades on chart", "Signal & Label" and "Quantity" have been omitted. "Strategy label plots" has been switched to true)
Other Strategy Rules:
If a new session (time session which is user defined) is true (blue vertical line) and the strategy is currently still in a trade it will exit that trade immediately.
It is possible to also set a range of percentage gain per day that the strategy will try to acquire, if at any point the strategy’s profit is within the percentage range then the position / trade will be exited immediately (This can be changed in the “PERCENT DAY GAIN” group for user inputs)
Stops and Targets:
The strategy has either static (fixed) or variable SL options. TP however is only static. The “STRAT TP & TP” group of user inputs is responsible for the SL and TP values (quoted in pips). Note once the ATR stop is set to true the SL values in the above group no longer have any affect on the SL as expected.
What are the Regime Filters:
The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWLTI): The Larry Williams Large Trade Index (LWTI) is a momentum-based technical indicator developed by iconic trader Larry Williams. It identifies potential entries and exits for trades by gauging market sentiment, particularly the buying and selling pressure from large market players. Here's a breakdown of the LWTI:
LWLTI components and their interpretation:
Oscillator: It oscillates between 0 and 100, with 50 acting as the neutral line.
Sentiment Meter: Values above 75 suggest a bearish market dominated by large selling, while readings below 25 indicate a bullish market with strong buying from large players.
Trend Confirmation: Crossing above 75 during an uptrend and below 25 during a downtrend confirms the trend's continuation.
The Andean Oscillator (AO) : The Andean Oscillator is a trend and momentum based indicator designed to measure the degree of variations within individual uptrends and downtrends in the prices.
Regime Filter States:
In trading, a regime filter is a tool used to identify the current state or "regime" of the market.
These Regime filters are integrated within the trading strategy to attempt to lower risk (equity volatility and/or draw down). The regime filters have different states for each market order type (buy and sell). When the regime filters are set to true, if these regime states fail to be true the trade is exited immediately.
For Buy Trades:
LWLTI positive momentum state: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR > 50
AO positive momentum state: Bull line > Bear line (signal line is omitted)
For Sell Trades:
LWLTI negative momentum stat: Quotient of the lagged trailing difference and the ATR < 50
AO negative momentum state: Bull line < Bear line (signal line is omitted)
How does the Strategy Send Signals:
The strategy triggers a TV alert (you will neet to set a alert first), TV then sends a HTTP request to the automation software (PineConnecter) which receives the request and then communicates to an MT4/5 EA to automate the trading strategy.
For the strategy to send signals you must have the following
At least a TV essential subscription

Breadth Thrust Strategy with Volatility Stop-LossThe "Breadth Thrust Strategy with Volatility Stop-Loss" is a trading strategy designed to capitalize on market momentum while managing risk through volatility-based stop-losses. Here's a detailed breakdown of the strategy:
Strategy Overview:
Market Breadth Analysis: The strategy uses the "Breadth Thrust Indicator," which evaluates market momentum by calculating the ratio of advancing stocks to the total number of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This indicator helps identify bullish market conditions. An optional feature allows for the inclusion of volume data in this calculation, enhancing the signal's robustness.
Signal Generation: A long position is triggered when the smoothed breadth ratio (or the combined breadth and volume ratio) crosses above a specified low threshold (e.g., 0.4). This crossover indicates a potential shift towards positive market momentum.
Key Parameters:
Smoothing Length (length): Defines the period over which the breadth or combined ratio is smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise and highlight the underlying trend.
Low Threshold (threshold_low): The level below which the smoothed ratio must fall before crossing back above to trigger a long signal.
Hold Periods (hold_periods): The minimum number of periods for which the position will be held once entered, ensuring the strategy captures a meaningful move.
Volatility Multiplier (volatility_multiplier): A multiplier applied to the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the distance of the stop-loss from the entry price, which adjusts according to market volatility.
Trade Management:
Entry Signal: The strategy enters a long position when the smoothed combined ratio crosses above the low threshold, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
ATR-Based Stop-Loss: Upon entering a trade, the strategy calculates a stop-loss level based on the ATR, which measures market volatility. The stop-loss is set at a distance from the entry price, determined by multiplying the ATR by the specified volatility multiplier. This adaptive stop-loss mechanism helps protect the position from adverse market moves.
Stop-Loss Adjustment: While the position is open, the stop-loss level is dynamically updated, ensuring it never decreases (trailing stop-loss effect) but can be adjusted upwards to reflect the latest price action relative to volatility.
Position Closure: The position is closed if:
The market price falls to or below the stop-loss level.
The position has been held for the specified number of periods (hold_periods), after which it is automatically closed.
Additional Settings:
Initial Capital: The strategy starts with an initial capital of $10,000.
Commissions and Slippage: Each trade incurs a commission of $5 per order, and slippage is accounted for at $1 per trade.
Background Highlighting: The chart background turns green when a position is open, providing a clear visual indication of the active trade.
This strategy is designed to identify and capitalize on upward momentum in the market while employing a volatility-adjusted stop-loss to manage risk. By combining market breadth analysis with volatility-based stop-losses, the strategy aims to balance profit potential with protection against sudden market reversals.
Dual Regime Strategy (DRS)/Introduction
The Dual Regime Strategy (DRS) is a composite strategy consisting of two signals, both catering to two different market regimes. The stock market experiences periods of high volatility followed by periods of low volatility, a mean reversion strategy performs well during periods of high volatility while a trend following strategy performs well during periods of low volatility. This is the basis for the mean reversion signal and the momentum signal.
/Signals
1. Mean Reversion Signal
Definition: Mean reversion is a financial theory that suggests that asset prices and financial markets tend to fluctuate around a long-term average or mean value. In other words, when the price of an asset moves significantly away from its historical average, it is likely to revert, or move back, towards that average over time.
Concept: Mean reversion assumes that extreme price movements are temporary and that there is an inherent tendency for prices to return to their historical average or equilibrium level. Traders and investors who follow mean reversion strategies often look for overbought or oversold conditions in the market to identify potential trading opportunities. They believe that when prices deviate too far from their mean, there is a higher probability of a reversal.
DRS strategy: The Keltner Channel is a volatility-based technical indicator that consists of three lines: an upper channel, a lower channel, and a middle channel. It is primarily used for mean reversion strategies. The strategy uses a Keltner channel to trigger the mean reversion signals by identifying potential overbought and oversold conditions.
2. Momentum Signal
Definition: Momentum, in the context of financial markets, refers to the tendency of assets to continue moving in the same direction as their recent past price movements. It is based on the idea that assets that have been performing well recently are more likely to continue performing well, and assets that have been performing poorly are more likely to continue performing poorly.
Concept: Momentum traders and investors seek to identify and ride existing price trends. They believe that there is a persistence in price movements, and they aim to capitalize on this persistence by buying assets that have shown recent strength and selling assets that have shown recent weakness.
DRS strategy: The Exponential Moving Average is used to identify the strength and direction of the existing trend. When the price remains above the moving average, it indicates bullish momentum and vice versa for bearish momentum.
/Results
The backtest results are based on a starting capital of $13,700 (convenient amount for retail traders) with 5% of equity for the position size and pyramiding of 2 to allow one open position at a time for each signal. Commissions vary from broker to broker and they are calculated in different ways so a simple $3 per order is used in backtesting this strategy. Slippage of 3 ticks is used to ensure the results are representative of real world, market order trading. The backtest results are available to view at the bottom of this page.
Note:
Past performance in backtesting does not guarantee future results. Broker execution and market changes can significantly affect strategy performance in live trading.
Originality:
The DRS strategy is unique in its combination of both Momentum Strategy and Mean Reversion Strategy components within a single trading strategy. This dual-regime approach allows the strategy to adapt to different market conditions. Additionally, it incorporates short positions for momentum signals, this ensures that the strategy remains active in bear markets.
1. Mean Reverting Regimes
In mean-reverting regimes, markets exhibit high volatility with prices oscillating around a historical average. The DRS employs the Keltner Channel as a core tool for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, which are prevalent in such regimes.
Detection: The strategy detects mean reverting opportunities when prices deviate significantly from the middle band of the Keltner Channel, signaling an overbought or oversold condition.
Execution: Trades are executed with the expectation that prices will revert to the mean. For example, buying when the price is below the lower band (oversold) and selling when it's above the upper band (overbought).
2. Trending Regimes
In trending regimes, markets move in a persistent direction, either up or down. The DRS utilizes the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to identify and follow these trends.
Trend Identification: The EMA helps in determining the overall direction of the trend, while the number of days price stays above the moving average indicates the strength of the trend.
Trade Execution: The strategy capitalizes on strong trends by taking positions in the direction of the trend (long positions in uptrends and short positions in downtrends).
/Tickers
This strategy has been backtested primarily on SPY. It also performs well on IWF and QQQ.
Rob Booker - ADX Breakout updated to pinescript V5Rob Booker - ADX Breakout. The strategy remains unchanged but the code has been updated to pinescript V5. This enables compatibility with all new Tradingview features. Additonally, indicators have been made more easily visible, default cash settings as well as input descriptions have been added.
Rob Booker - ADX Breakout: (Directly taken from the official Tradingview V1 version of the script)
Definition
Rob Booker’s Average Directional Index (ADX) Breakout is a trend strength indicator that affirms the belief that trading in the direction of a trend and continuing to follow its pull is more profitable for traders, while simultaneously reducing risk.
History
ADX was traditionally used and developed to determine a price’s trend strength. It is commonly known as a tool from the arsenal of Rob Booker, experienced entrepreneur and currency trader.
Calculations
Calculations for the ADX Breakout indicator are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a specific period of time. By default, the setting rests at 14 bars, this however is not mandatory, as other periods are routinely used for analysis as well.
Takeaways
The ADX line is used to measure and determine the strength of a trend, and so the direction of this line and its interpretation are crucial in a trader’s analysis. As the ADX line rises, a trend increases in strength and price moves in the trend’s direction. Similarly, if the ADX line is falling, a trend decreases in strength and price then enters a period of consolidation, or retracement.
Traditionally, the ADX is plotted on the chart as a single line that consists of values that range from 0-100. The line is non-directional, meaning that it always measures trend strength regardless of the position of a price’s trend (up or down). Essentially, ADX quantifies trend strength by presenting in both uptrends and downtrends of the line.
What to look for
The values associated with the ADX line help traders determine the most profitable trades and where risk lies in the current trend. It is important to know how to quantify trend strength and distinguish between the varying values in order to understand the differences in trending vs. non-trending conditions. Let’s take a look at ADX values and what they mean for trend strength.
ADX Value:
0-25: Signifies an absent of weak trend
25-50: Signifies a strong trend
50-75: Signifies a very strong trend
75-100: Signifies an extremely strong trend
To delve into this a bit further, let’s assess the meaning of ADX if it is valued below 25. If the ADX line remains below 25 for more than 30 or so bars, price then enters range conditions, making price patterns more distinguishable and visible to traders. Price will move up and down between resistance and support in order to determine selling and buying interest and may then eventually break out into a trend or pattern.
The way in which ADX peaks, ebs, and flows is also a signifier of its overall pattern and trend momentum. The line can clearly indicate to the trader when trend strength is strong versus when it is weak. When ADX peaks are pictured as higher, it points towards an increase in trend momentum. If ADX peaks are pictured as lower - you guessed it - it points towards a decrease in trend momentum. A trend of lower ADX peaks could be a warning for traders to watch prices and manage and assess risk before a trade gets out of hand. Similarly, whenever there is a sudden move that seems out of place or a change in trend character that goes against what you’ve seen before, this should be a clear sign to watch prices and assess risk.
Summary
The ADX Breakout indicator is a trend strength indicator that analyzes price movements relative to trend strength to signal a user when is best for a trade and when is best to manage risk and assess patterns. As long as a trader recognizes strong trends and assesses the risk of each trade properly, they should have no problem using this indicator and utilizing it to work in their favor. In addition, the ADX helps identify trending conditions, but while doing so, also aids traders in finding strong trends to trade. The indicator can even alert traders to specific changes in trend momentum, allowing them to be primed for risk management.
IPB_JPMUPS_2022Introduction :
This indicator serves two purposes
a) It is a multi dimensional floor pivot indicator, which takes its concepts from Secrets of Pivot Boss book of Frank Ochoa. Most of the indicators suggested in the book are packed in one indicator.
b) It also has an inbuilt intraday strategy which identifies trend, direction and momentum based on CPR (Central Pivot Range) concepts and accordingly comes up with trading signals.
How this indicator is different from the published ones :
A). Role as an indicator
This indicator has all the CPR (Central Pivot Range) indicators packed together which provides a ready made solution for CPR based trading. The following are the salient features of this indicator :
1) This indicator plots daily CPR using previous day high, low and close. It also plots Support and Resistance levels based on floor pivots formula.
Moreover, it also plots developing CPR which is based on current day's high, low and close. Apart from that it also plots CPR for next day session as well which is useful for EOD analysis.
2) This indicator plots weekly CPR using previous week high, low and close. It also plots developing CPR which is based on current week's high, low and close.
3) This indicator plots monthly CPR using previous month high, low and close. It also plots developing CPR which is based on current month's high, low and close.
4) This indicator plots pivot EMA which is called PEMA. It uses three different EMAs which are customisable and uses them to plot a moving average web based on pivot points of each candle, which is called as PEMA. This also facilitates PEMA plotting for higher time frame (daily time frame) as well.
5) This indicator plots daily time frame moving average in intraday chart which can be used as a key zone during trading. The period is customisable.
B) Role as a strategy
This indicator also functions as an intraday trading strategy called JPMUPS (JP stands for author's nickname. MUPS stands for Manoj Ultimate Pivot Strategy). This strategy attempts to identify trend, direction and momentum and when all these three align together it gives buy and sell signals. The concepts are as under:
Trend identification :
Whenever a trend is established, the developing CPR starts to widen. Hence this strategy uses the width of the developing CPR and compares it with the MA of the width to identify the trend. If the width of the developing CPR crosses the 34 period MA (can be customised), it assumes a trend is developing.
Direction identification:
Whenever a direction is established, the CPR components, namely BC and TC shifts its position. Hence this strategy uses this concept to identify the direction. It computes MACD sort of histogram of the BC and TC difference and whenever the histogram slops upwards, it assumes bullish direction and vice versa.
Momentum identification :
Whenever momentum is established, the developing CPR starts sloping upwards. Hence this strategy uses this concept to identify the momentum. It computes RSI of the developing CPR and if the RSI is above the 34 period MA (can be customised) of RSI , it assumes momentum is establishing and vice versa.
When all the above are aligned together, it gives buy or sell signals suitably.
How to use it :
a) Indicator usage :
1) CPR zones are key zones which predominantly acts as support and resistance zones. Looking at the price action at these zones, one can look for trading opportunities in live market.
2) Developing CPR acts as pull back zones and is very useful in live trading and also EOD analysis for spotting opportunities by combining price action.
b) Strategy usage :
1). Strategy signals are only indicative. Users are strongly advised not to use the strategy blindly. Users are advised to go though the CPR concepts thoroughly and use this strategy signals only as a supplement for further decision making / analysis.
Markets meant for :
1). This indicator and Strategy is predominantly designed for I ndian stock markets . However it can be customised for other markets as well by changing the timings of the markets in the parameters.
Market conditions meant for :
1). This indicator is meant for all types of market conditions as its predominant role is to plot the key support and resistance zones using CPR concepts.
2). The strategy is mainly found to be effective in trending markets and predominantly indices like Nifty and Bank Nifty . Hence Users are advised to use this only as an indicative feature and not blindly trade based on signals. The strategy is found to be less effective in lower time frames like 1min / 3min, etc. 15 min time frame provides fair performance. However it doesnt mean that it will continue to perform in the same manner in the future.

FibVIP2022TSLAThis is version 1.0 FibVIP2022TSLA Strategy. This has only been back tested for the ticker "TSLA" for the year 2022. And I real time capital tested it personally. The reason I isolated this strategy to 2022 is because Tesla's chart patterns have changed from the previous 2 years. So, I wanted to develop an indicator-based strategy that was consistent with current market conditions. The default setting for percent of equity is set to 5% risk. I will adjust any variables that make this FibVIP2022TSLA Strategy more accurate in the future as more 2022 data comes out.
It's based on my Fibonacci VIP indicator script. Fibonacci VIP (Fibonacci Volume Indicator Precision) is a volume indicator that I made to help me have precise entry and exit timing. It's based on the well-known Fibonacci sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233. The default colors I like to use can be changed to whatever you want. The numbers inputted are based on volume ema.
Bullish momentum in ascending order is 21 = white, 13 = blue, 8 = green.
Bearish momentum descending order is 89 = red, 55 = yellow, 34 = purple.
Immediate momentum 1 = orange, 2 = blue, 3 = neon green, 5 = lime.
Long term momentum 144 = lime, 233 = teal.
Four high, mid high, mid low & low dashed channel lines with transparent fill colors lime, green, maroon & red. Also, there's a gray zero static line & white dynamic horizontal dotted line ema1 & ema8 to help keep momentum in perspective. The most bullish signal is when all colors are in a top-down order 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233. The most bearish signal is when all colors are reversed and have a bottom-up order of 233, 144, 89, 55, 34, 21, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1.
A crossover, cross-under, divergence or convergence of these colors, help signal the future price action. For example, green crossing over red is bullish, but green crossing under red is bearish. If colors are low / below the zero line that's bearish and if they are above the zero line, that's bullish. The FibVIP works great as a leading indicator to confirm future price action of the underlying security momentum.

SwingTrade VWAP Strategy[TiamatCrypto]V1.1This Pine Script® code creates a trading strategy called "SwingTrade VWAP Strategy V1.1." This strategy incorporates various trading tools, such as VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), ADX (Average Directional Index), and volume signals. Below is an explanation of the components and logic within the script:
### Overview of Features
- **VWAP:** A volume-weighted moving average that assesses price trends relative to the VWAP level.
- **ADX:** A trend strength indicator that helps confirm the strength of bullish or bearish trends.
- **Volume Analysis:** Leverages volume data to gauge momentum and identify volume-weighted buy/sell conditions.
- **Dynamic Entry/Exit Signals:** Combines the above indicators to produce actionable buy/sell or exit signals.
- **Customizable Inputs:** Inputs for tuning parameters like VWAP period, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity.
---
### **Code Breakdown**
#### **Input Parameters**
The script begins by defining several user-configurable variables under groups. These include indicators' on/off switches (`showVWAP`, `enableADX`, `enableVolume`) and input parameters for VWAP, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity:
- **VWAP Period and Threshold:** Controls sensitivity for VWAP signal generation.
- **ADX Settings:** Allows users to configure the ADX period and strength threshold.
- **Volume Ratio:** Detects bullish/bearish conditions based on relative volume patterns.
---
#### **VWAP Calculation**
The script calculates VWAP using the formula:
\
Where `P` is the typical price (`(high + low + close)/3`) and `V` is the volume.
- It resets cumulative values (`sumPV` and `sumV`) at the start of each day.
- Delta percentage (`deltaPercent`) is calculated as the percentage difference between the close price and the VWAP.
---
#### **Indicators and Signals**
1. **VWAP Trend Signals:**
- Identifies bullish/bearish conditions based on price movement (`aboveVWAP`, `belowVWAP`) and whether the price is crossing the VWAP level (`crossingUp`, `crossingDown`).
- Also detects rising/falling delta changes based on the VWAP threshold.
2. **ADX Calculation:**
- Calculates the directional movement (`PlusDM`, `MinusDM`) and smoothed values for `PlusDI`, `MinusDI`, and `ADX`.
- Confirms strong bullish/bearish trends when ADX crosses the defined threshold.
3. **Volume-Based Signals:**
- Evaluates the ratio of bullish volume (when `close > VWAP`) to bearish volume (when `close < VWAP`) over a specified lookback period.
---
#### **Trade Signals**
The buy and sell signals are determined by combining conditions from the VWAP, ADX, and volume signals:
- **Buy Signal:** Triggered when price upward crossover VWAP, delta rises above the threshold, ADX indicates a strong bullish trend, and volume confirms bullish momentum.
- **Sell Signal:** Triggered under inverse conditions.
- Additionally, exit conditions (`exitLong` and `exitShort`) are based on VWAP crossovers combined with the reversal of delta values.
---
#### **Plotting and Display**
The strategy plots VWAP on the chart and adds signal markers for:
- **Buy/Long Entry:** Green triangle below bars.
- **Sell/Short Entry:** Red triangle above bars.
- **Exit Signals:** Lime or orange "X" shapes for exits from long/short positions.
- Additionally, optional text labels are displayed to indicate the type of signal.
---
#### **Trading Logic**
The script's trading logic executes as follows:
- **Entries:**
- Executes long trades when the `buySignal` condition is true.
- Executes short trades when the `sellSignal` condition is true.
- **Exits:**
- Closes long positions upon `exitLong` conditions.
- Closes short positions upon `exitShort` conditions.
- The strategy calculates profits and visualizes the trade entry, exit, and running profit within the chart.
---
#### **Alerts**
Alerts are set up to notify traders via custom signals for buy and sell trades.
---
### **Use Case**
This script is suitable for day traders, swing traders, or algorithmic traders who rely on confluence signals from VWAP, ADX, and volume momentum. Its modular structure (e.g., the ability to enable/disable specific indicators) makes it highly customizable for various trading styles and financial instruments.
#### **Customizability**
- Adjust VWAP, ADX, and volume sensitivity levels to fit unique market conditions or asset classes.
- Turn off specific criteria to focus only on VWAP or ADX signals if desired.
#### **Caution**
As with all trading strategies, this script should be used for backtesting and analysis before live implementation. It's essential to validate its performance on historical data while considering factors like slippage and transaction costs.
Dskyz (DAFE) Adaptive Regime - Quant Machine ProDskyz (DAFE) Adaptive Regime - Quant Machine Pro:
Buckle up for the Dskyz (DAFE) Adaptive Regime - Quant Machine Pro, is a strategy that’s your ultimate edge for conquering futures markets like ES, MES, NQ, and MNQ. This isn’t just another script—it’s a quant-grade powerhouse, crafted with precision to adapt to market regimes, deliver multi-factor signals, and protect your capital with futures-tuned risk management. With its shimmering DAFE visuals, dual dashboards, and glowing watermark, it turns your charts into a cyberpunk command center, making trading as thrilling as it is profitable.
Unlike generic scripts clogging up the space, the Adaptive Regime is a DAFE original, built from the ground up to tackle the chaos of futures trading. It identifies market regimes (Trending, Range, Volatile, Quiet) using ADX, Bollinger Bands, and HTF indicators, then fires trades based on a weighted scoring system that blends candlestick patterns, RSI, MACD, and more. Add in dynamic stops, trailing exits, and a 5% drawdown circuit breaker, and you’ve got a system that’s as safe as it is aggressive. Whether you’re a newbie or a prop desk pro, this strat’s your ticket to outsmarting the markets. Let’s break down every detail and see why it’s a must-have.
Why Traders Need This Strategy
Futures markets are a gauntlet—fast moves, volatility spikes (like the April 28, 2025 NQ 1k-point drop), and institutional traps that punish the unprepared. Meanwhile, platforms are flooded with low-effort scripts that recycle old ideas with zero innovation. The Adaptive Regime stands tall, offering:
Adaptive Intelligence: Detects market regimes (Trending, Range, Volatile, Quiet) to optimize signals, unlike one-size-fits-all scripts.
Multi-Factor Precision: Combines candlestick patterns, MA trends, RSI, MACD, volume, and HTF confirmation for high-probability trades.
Futures-Optimized Risk: Calculates position sizes based on $ risk (default: $300), with ATR or fixed stops/TPs tailored for ES/MES.
Bulletproof Safety: 5% daily drawdown circuit breaker and trailing stops keep your account intact, even in chaos.
DAFE Visual Mastery: Pulsing Bollinger Band fills, dynamic SL/TP lines, and dual dashboards (metrics + position) make signals crystal-clear and charts a work of art.
Original Craftsmanship: A DAFE creation, built with community passion, not a rehashed clone of generic code.
Traders need this because it’s a complete, adaptive system that blends quant smarts, user-friendly design, and DAFE flair. It’s your edge to trade with confidence, cut through market noise, and leave the copycats in the dust.
Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.
Gray — Quiet/Low Volatility: Market is calm and inactive, with small moves—often poor conditions for most strategies.
Navy — Other/Neutral: Regime is uncertain or mixed; signals may be less reliable.
Bollinger Bands Glow (Dynamic Fill):
Neon Red Glow — Warning!: Price is near or breaking above the upper band; momentum is overstretched, watch for overbought conditions or reversals.
Bright Green Glow — Opportunity!: Price is near or breaking below the lower band; market could be oversold, prime for bounce or reversal.
Trend Green Fill — Trending Regime: Fills between bands with green when the market is trending, showing clear momentum.
Gold/Yellow Fill — Range Regime: Fills with gold/aqua in range conditions, showing the market is sideways/oscillating.
Magenta/Red Fill — Volatility Spike: Fills with vivid magenta/red during highly volatile regimes.
Blue Fill — Neutral/Quiet: A soft blue glow for other or uncertain market states.
Moving Averages:
Display: Blue fast EMA (20), red slow EMA (50), 2px.
Purpose: Shows trend direction, with trend_dir requiring ATR-scaled spread.
Dynamic SL/TP Lines:
Display: Pulsing colors (red SL, green TP for Trending; yellow/orange for Range, etc.), 3px, with pulse_alpha for shimmer.
Purpose: Tracks stops/TPs in real-time, color-coded by regime.
6. Dual Dashboards
Two dashboards deliver real-time insights, making the strat a quant command center.
Bottom-Left Metrics Dashboard (2x13):
Metrics: Mode (Active/Paused), trend (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral), ATR, ATR avg, volume spike (YES/NO), RSI (value + Oversold/Overbought/Neutral), HTF RSI, HTF trend, last signal (Buy/Sell/None), regime, bull score.
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Purpose: Consolidates market context and signal strength.
Top-Right Position Dashboard (2x7):
Metrics: Regime, position side (Long/Short/None), position PNL ($), SL, TP, daily PNL ($).
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (lime for Long, red for Short).
Purpose: Tracks live trades and profitability.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Dual dashboards cover market context and trade status, a rare feature.
Color-coding and concise metrics guide beginners (e.g., green “Buy” = go).
Real-time PNL and SL/TP visibility empower disciplined trading.
7. Performance Tracking
Logic: Arrays (regime_pnl_long/short, regime_win/loss_long/short) track PNL and win/loss by regime (1–5). Updated on trade close (barstate.isconfirmed).
Purpose: Prepares for future adaptive thresholds (e.g., adjust bull_score min based on regime performance).
Why It’s Brilliant: Lays the groundwork for self-optimizing logic, a quant edge over static scripts.
Key Features

AccumulationPro Money Flow StrategyAccumulationPro Money Flow Strategy identifies stock trading opportunities by analyzing money flow and potential long-only opportunities following periods of increased money inflow. It employs proprietary responsive indicators and oscillators to gauge the strength and momentum of the inflow relative to previous periods, detecting money inflow, buying/selling pressure, and potential continuation/reversals, while using trailing stop exits to maximize gains while minimizing losses, with careful consideration of risk management and position sizing.
Setup Instructions:
1. Configuring the Strategy Properties:
Click the "Settings" icon (the gear symbol) next to the strategy name.
Navigate to the "Properties" tab within the Settings window.

Base Currency: Leave this setting at its "Default" value.
Order Size: This setting, which determines the capital used for each trade during backtesting, is automatically calculated and updated by the script. You should leave it set to "1 Contract" and the script will calculate the appropriate number of contracts based on your risk per trade, account size, and stop-loss placement.
Pyramiding: Set this setting at 1 order to prevent the strategy from adding to existing positions.
Commission: Enter your broker's commission fee per trade as a percentage, some brokers might offer commission free trading. Verify Price for limit orders: Keep this value as 0 ticks.
Slippage: This value depends on the instrument you are trading, If you are trading liquid stocks on a 1D chart slippage might be neglected. You can Keep this value as 1 ticks if you want to be conservative.
Margin for long positions/short positions: Set both of these to 100% since this strategy does not employ leverage or margin trading.
Recalculate:
Select the "After order is filled" option.
Select the "On every tick" option.
Fill Orders: Keep “Using bar magnifier” unselected.
Select "On bar close". Select "Using standard OHLC"
2. Configuring the Strategy Inputs:

Strategy Application Guidelines:
Entry Conditions:
The strategy identifies long entry opportunities based on substantial money inflow, as detected by our proprietary indicators and oscillators. This assessment considers the strength and momentum of the inflow relative to previous periods, in conjunction with strong price momentum (indicated by our modified, less-lagging MACD) and/or a potential price reversal (indicated by our modified, less-noisy Stochastic). Additional confirmation criteria related to price action are also incorporated. Potential entry and exit zones are visually represented by bands on the chart.
A blue upward-pointing arrow, accompanied by the label 'Long' and green band fills, signifies a long entry opportunity. Conversely, a magenta downward-pointing arrow, labeled 'Close entry(s) order Long' with yellow band fills, indicates a potential exit.
Take Profit:
The strategy employs trailing stops, rather than fixed take-profit levels, to maximize gains while minimizing losses. Trailing stops adjust the stop-loss level as the stock price moves in a favorable direction. The strategy utilizes two types of trailing stop mechanisms: one based on the Average True Range (ATR), and another based on price action, which attempts to identify shifts in price momentum.
Stop Loss:
The strategy uses an Average True Range (ATR)-based stop-loss, represented by two lines on the chart. The black line indicates the primary ATR-based stop-loss level, set upon trade entry. The red line represents a secondary ATR stop-loss buffer, used in the position sizing calculation to account for potential slippage or price gaps.
To potentially reduce the risk of stop-hunting, discretionary traders might consider using a market sell order within the final 30 to 60 minutes of the main session, instead of automated stop-loss orders.
Order Types:
Market Orders are intended for use with this strategy, specifically when the candle and signal on the chart stabilize within the final 30 to 60 minutes of the main trading session.
Position Sizing:
A key aspect of this strategy is that its position size is calculated and displayed in a table on the chart. The position size is calculated based on stop-loss placement, including the stop-loss buffer, and the capital at risk per trade which is commonly set around 0.5% Risk on Capital per Trade.
Backtesting:
The backtesting results presented below the chart are for informational purposes only and are not intended to predict future performance. Instead, they serve as a tool for identifying instruments with which the strategy has historically performed well.
It's important to note that the backtester utilizes a tiny portion of the capital for each trade while our strategy relies on a diversified portfolio of multiple stocks or instruments being traded at once.
Important Considerations:
Volume data is crucial; the strategy will not load or function correctly without it. Ensure that your charts include volume data, preferably from a centralized exchange.
Our system is designed for trading a portfolio. Therefore, if you intend to use our system, you should employ appropriate position sizing, without leverage or margin, and seek out a variety of long opportunities, rather than opening a single trade with an excessively large position size.
If you are trading without automated signals, always allow the chart to stabilize. Refrain from taking action until the final 1 hour to 30 minutes before the end of the main trading session to minimize the risk of acting on false signals.
To align with the strategy's design, it's generally preferable to enter a trade during the same session that the signal appears, rather than waiting for a later session.
Disclaimer:
Trading in financial markets involves a substantial degree of risk. You should be aware of the potential for significant financial losses. It is imperative that you trade responsibly and avoid overtrading, as this can amplify losses. Remember that market conditions can change rapidly, and past performance is not indicative of future results. You could lose some or all of your initial investment. It is strongly recommended that you fully understand the risks involved in trading and seek independent financial advice from a qualified professional before using this strategy.
DI+/- Cross Strategy with ATR SL and 2% TPDI+/- Cross Strategy with ATR Stop Loss and 2% Take Profit
📝 Script Description for Publishing:
This strategy is based on the directional movement of the market using the Average Directional Index (ADX) components — DI+ and DI- — to generate entry signals, with clearly defined risk and reward targets using ATR-based Stop Loss and Fixed Percentage Take Profit.
🔍 How it works:
Buy Signal: When DI+ crosses above 40, signaling strong bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: When DI- crosses above 40, indicating strong bearish momentum.
Stop Loss: Dynamically calculated using ATR × 1.5, to account for market volatility.
Take Profit: Fixed at 2% above/below the entry price, for consistent reward targeting.
🧠 Why it’s useful:
Combines momentum breakout logic with volatility-based risk management.
Works well on trending assets, especially when combined with higher timeframe filters.
Clean BUY and SELL visual labels make it easy to interpret and backtest.
✅ Tips for Use:
Use on assets with clear trends (e.g., major forex pairs, trending stocks, crypto).
Best on 30m – 4H timeframes, but can be customized.
Consider combining with other filters (e.g., EMA trend direction or Bollinger Bands) for even better accuracy.
Dskyz Adaptive Futures Edge (DAFE)imgur.com/a/igj9lFj
Dskyz Adaptive Futures Edge (DAFE) is a futures trading strategy designed to adapt dynamically to market volatility and price action using a blend of technical indicators. The strategy combines adaptive moving averages, optional RSI filtering, candlestick pattern recognition, and multi-timeframe trend analysis to generate long and short trade signals. It incorporates robust risk management techniques including ATR-based stop-losses and trailing stops, ensuring trades are sized and managed within sustainable risk limits.
Key Components and Logic
-Adaptive Moving Averages
Dynamic Calculation: Fast and slow Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) adapt to changing volatility, making them sensitive to high-momentum shifts and smoothing during quieter price action.
Signal Generation: Entry signals are triggered when the fast SMA crosses the slow SMA in conjunction with price direction confirmation (e.g., price above both for long positions).
-RSI Filtering (Optional)
Momentum Confirmation: The RSI filter provides momentum confirmation to avoid overextended entries. It can be toggled on or off for both long and short conditions.
User Control: Adjustable parameters such as lookback period, oversold/overbought thresholds, and enable/disable switches give full control over its influence.
-Candlestick Pattern Recognition
Engulfing Logic: Recognizes strong bullish or bearish engulfing patterns with configurable strength criteria like range and volume. Patterns are filtered by trend direction and strength for confirmation.
Signal Conflict Handling: When both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns occur within the lookback window, the strategy avoids entry to reduce whipsaws in indecisive markets.
-Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter
Higher Timeframe Filtering: Incorporates 15-minute trend direction as a macro-level filter to align intrabar trades with larger trend momentum.
Smoothed Entry Logic: Prevents entering trades that go against the broader market structure, reducing false signals in choppy or low-conviction moves.
-Trade Execution and Risk Management

Entry Logic
Priority System: Users can define whether moving average signals or candlestick patterns should take priority when both are present.
Volume & Volatility Checks: Ensures sufficient market participation and action before entering a position, improving the odds of reliable follow-through.
Stop-Loss and Trailing Exit
ATR-Based Initial Stops: Dynamically adjusts stop-loss distance based on market volatility using a multiple of ATR (Average True Range), keeping risk proportional to price swings.
Trailing Stop: Protects open profits and enables winners to run by following price action at a set distance (also ATR-based).
-Cooldown Period & Minimum Bar Hold (Trade Discipline Logic)
Cooldown Bars: After an exit, the strategy imposes a mandatory pause before opening a new position.
Why: This avoids rapid-fire re-entries triggered by minor fluctuations that could lead to overtrading and degradation of profitability.
Minimum Bar Hold: A trade must be held for a minimum number of bars before it can be exited.
Why: This prevents the strategy from immediately exiting trades due to fleeting volatility spikes, which previously caused premature exits that often reversed back in favor of the original signal. This ensures trades have adequate time to develop, filtering out noise from true reversals.
-Visual Elements and Transparency Tools
Chart Overlays: Moving averages, RSI values, and trade entry/exit points are shown directly on the chart for complete visibility.
Dashboard UI: Displays critical live metrics—current position, PnL, time held, ATR values, etc.
Debug Logs: Optional toggles allow verbose condition tracking for deep inspection into why a trade occurred (or didn't), useful for both live optimization and debugging.
-Input Parameter Reference Guide
Input Name Function & Suggested Use
Use RSI Filter - Enables or disables RSI-based entry confirmation. Disable if price action alone is desired for entry decisions.
RSI Length - RSI lookback period. Lower values (e.g., 7–14) are more responsive; higher values reduce false signals.
Overbought / Oversold Levels - Used to detect exhaustion zones. E.g., avoid long entries above 70 or short entries below 30.
Use Candlestick Patterns - Enable detection of bullish/bearish engulfing patterns as trade signals. Disable to rely only on trend/MA.
Pattern Strength Thresholds (Range, Volume) - Filters out weak engulfing signals. Higher values require stronger patterns to trigger.
Use 15min Trend Filter - Adds multi-timeframe trend confirmation. Recommended for filtering entries against larger trend direction.
Fast MA - Base Length for fast adaptive moving average. Suggested: 10–25.
Slow MA - Base length for slow adaptive moving average. Suggested: 30–60.
Volatility Sensitivity Multiplier - Multiplies volatility adjustments for adaptive MA length. Higher = more reactive to volatility.
Entry Volume Filter - Filters out trades during low volume. Recommended to prevent entries in illiquid conditions.
ATR Length - Lookback period for ATR calculation. Suggested: 14.
Trailing Stop ATR Offset - Defines how far the stop-loss is from entry. 1.5–2.5 is typical for medium-volatility environments.
Trailing Stop ATR Multiplier - Determines trailing stop distance. 1.5 is tight; 3+ gives more room for trending trades.
Cooldown Bars After Exit - Prevents immediate re-entries. Suggested: 3–10 bars depending on timeframe.
Minimum Bars to Hold Trade - Ensures trades are held long enough to avoid knee-jerk exits. Suggested: 5–10 for intraday strategies.
Trading Hours (Start / End) - Sets the window of allowed trading. Prevents entries outside key session times (e.g., avoid pre-market).
Enable Logging / Debugging - Shows internal trade decision data for tuning and understanding the logic.
Compliance with TradingView Regulations
Realistic Backtesting: The strategy uses proper initial capital, fixed trade quantities, and risk parameters to reflect realistic scenarios.
Transparent Trade Logic: Every condition used for signal generation is documented and controllable by the user. Users can view each signal's rationale.
Risk Mitigation: Cooldown bars, ATR stops, and minimum trade duration ensure the strategy behaves predictably and prevents reckless trade behavior.
Customization: Full control over each module (MA, RSI, Candlestick, Trend, etc.) gives users the ability to tailor the strategy to suit various futures contracts or timeframes.

Reversal Trading Bot Strategy[BullByte]Overview :
The indicator Reversal Trading Bot Strategy is crafted to capture potential market reversal points by combining momentum, volatility, and trend alignment filters. It uses a blend of technical indicators to identify both bullish and bearish reversal setups, ensuring that multiple market conditions are met before entering a trade.
Core Components :
Technical Indicators Used :
RSI (Relative Strength Index) :
Purpose : Detects divergence conditions by comparing recent lows/highs in price with the RSI.
Parameter : Length of 8.
Bollinger Bands (BB) :
Purpose : Measures volatility and identifies price levels that are statistically extreme.
Parameter : Length of 20 and a 2-standard deviation multiplier.
ADX (Average Directional Index) & DMI (Directional Movement Index) :
Purpose : Quantifies the strength of the trend. The ADX threshold is set at 20, and additional filters check for the alignment of the directional indicators (DI+ and DI–).
ATR (Average True Range) :
Purpose : Provides a volatility measure used to set stop levels and determine risk through trailing stops.
Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of Volume ):
Purpose : Helps confirm strength by comparing the current volume against a 20-period average, with an optional filter to ensure volume is at least twice the SMA.
User-Defined Toggle Filters :
Volume Filter : Confirms that the volume is above average (or twice the SMA) before taking trades.
ADX Trend Alignment Filter : Checks that the ADX’s directional indicators support the trade direction.
BB Close Confirmation : Optionally refines the entry by requiring price to be beyond the upper or lower Bollinger Band rather than just above or below.
RSI Divergence Exit : Allows the script to close positions if RSI divergence is detected.
BB Mean Reversion Exit : Closes positions if the price reverts to the Bollinger Bands’ middle line.
Risk/Reward Filter : Ensures that the potential reward is at least twice the risk by comparing the distance to the Bollinger Band with the ATR.
Candle Movement Filter : Optional filter to require a minimum percentage move in the candle to confirm momentum.
ADX Trend Exit : Closes positions if the ADX falls below the threshold and the directional indicators reverse.
Entry Conditions :
Bullish Entry :
RSI Divergence : Checks if the current close is lower than a previous low while the RSI is above the previous low, suggesting bullish divergence.
Bollinger Confirmation : Requires that the price is above the lower (or upper if confirmation is toggled) Bollinger Band.
Volume & Trend Filters : Combines volume condition, ADX strength, and an optional candle momentum condition.
Risk/Reward Check : Validates that the trade meets a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Bearish Entry :
Uses a mirror logic of the bullish entry by checking for bearish divergence, ensuring the price is below the appropriate Bollinger level, and confirming volume, trend strength, candle pattern, and risk/reward criteria.
Trade Execution and Exit Strateg y:
Trade Execution :
Upon meeting the entry conditions, the strategy initiates a long or short position.
Stop Loss & Trailing Stops :
A stop-loss is dynamically set using the ATR value, and trailing stops are implemented as a percentage of the close price.
Exit Conditions :
Additional exit filters can trigger early closures based on RSI divergence, mean reversion (via the middle Bollinger Band), or a weakening trend as signaled by ADX falling below its threshold.
This multi-layered exit strategy is designed to lock in gains or minimize losses if the market begins to reverse unexpectedly.
How the Strategy Works in Different Market Conditions :
Trending Markets :
The ADX filter ensures that trades are only taken when the trend is strong. When the market is trending, the directional movement indicators help confirm the momentum, making the reversal signal more reliable.
Ranging Markets :
In choppy markets, the Bollinger Bands expand and contract, while the RSI divergence can highlight potential turning points. The optional filters can be adjusted to avoid false signals in low-volume or low-volatility conditions.
Volatility Management :
With ATR-based stop-losses and a risk/reward filter, the strategy adapts to current market volatility, ensuring that risk is managed consistently.
Recommendation on using this Strategy with a Trading Bot :
This strategy is well-suited for high-frequency trading (HFT) due to its ability to quickly identify reversal setups and execute trades dynamically with automated stop-loss and trailing exits. By integrating this script with a TradingView webhook-based bot or an API-driven execution system, traders can automate trade entries and exits in real-time, reducing manual execution delays and capitalizing on fast market movements.

Sniper Trade Pro (ES 15-Min) - Topstep Optimized🔹 Overview
Sniper Trade Pro is an advanced algorithmic trading strategy designed specifically for E-mini S&P 500 (ES) Futures on the 15-minute timeframe. This strategy is optimized for Topstep 50K evaluations, incorporating strict risk management to comply with their max $1,000 daily loss limit while maintaining a high probability of success.
It uses a multi-confirmation approach, integrating:
✅ Money Flow Divergence (MFD) → To track liquidity imbalances and institutional accumulation/distribution.
✅ Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP) → To identify strong trend direction and avoid choppy markets.
✅ ADX Strength Filter → To ensure entries only occur in trending conditions, avoiding weak setups.
✅ Break-Even & Dynamic Stop-Losses → To reduce drawdowns and protect profits dynamically.
This script automatically generates Buy and Sell signals and provides built-in risk management for automated trading execution through TradingView Webhooks.
🔹 How Does This Strategy Work?
📌 1. Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP)
The strategy uses:
✔ 9-EMA & 21-EMA: Fast-moving averages to detect short-term momentum.
✔ VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Ensures trades align with institutional volume flow.
How it works:
Bullish Condition: 9-EMA above 21-EMA AND price above VWAP → Confirms buy trend.
Bearish Condition: 9-EMA below 21-EMA AND price below VWAP → Confirms sell trend.
📌 2. Liquidity & Money Flow Divergence (MFD)
This indicator measures liquidity shifts by tracking momentum changes in price and volume.
✔ MFD Calculation:
Uses Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Momentum (MOM) to detect changes in buying/selling pressure.
If MFD is above its moving average, it signals liquidity inflows → bullish strength.
If MFD is below its moving average, it signals liquidity outflows → bearish weakness.
Why is this important?
Detects when Smart Money is accumulating or distributing before major moves.
Filters out false breakouts by confirming momentum strength before entry.
📌 3. Trade Entry Triggers (Candlestick Patterns & ADX Filter)
To avoid random entries, the strategy waits for specific candlestick confirmations with ADX trend strength:
✔ Bullish Entry (Buy Signal) → Requires:
Bullish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD above its moving average (Liquidity inflows)
9-EMA > 21-EMA & price above VWAP (Trend confirmation)
✔ Bearish Entry (Sell Signal) → Requires:
Bearish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD below its moving average (Liquidity outflows)
9-EMA < 21-EMA & price below VWAP (Trend confirmation)
📌 4. Risk Management & Profit Protection
This strategy is built with strict risk management to maintain low drawdowns and maximize profits:
✔ Dynamic Position Sizing → Automatically adjusts trade size to risk a fixed $400 per trade.
✔ Adaptive Stop-Losses → Uses ATR-based stop-loss (0.8x ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
✔ Take-Profit Targets → Fixed at 2x ATR for a Risk:Reward ratio of 2:1.
✔ Break-Even Protection → Moves stop-loss to entry once price moves 1x ATR in profit, locking in gains.
✔ Max Daily Loss Limit (-$1,000) → Stops trading if total losses exceed $1,000, complying with Topstep rules.

Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy leverages the combination of candlestick pattern Bullish Reversal Bar (description in Methodology and Justification of Methodology), Williams Alligator indicator and Williams Fractals to create the high probability setups. Candlestick pattern is used for the entering into trade, while the combination of Williams Alligator and Fractals is used for the trend approximation as close condition. Strategy uses only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator or the candlestick pattern invalidation to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Trend Trade Filter: strategy uses Alligator and Fractal combination as high probability trend filter.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1.Current candle's high shall be below the Williams Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)(all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
2.Price shall create the candlestick pattern "Bullish Reversal Bar". Optionally if MFI and AO filters are enabled current candle shall have the decreasing AO and at least one of three recent bars shall have the squat state on the MFI (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3.If price breaks through the high of the candle marked as the "Bullish Reversal Bar" the long trade is open at the price one tick above the candle's high
4.Initial stop loss is placed at the Bullish Reversal Bar's candle's low
5.If price hit the Bullish Reversal Bar's low before hitting the entry price potential trade is cancelled
6.If trade is active and initial stop loss has not been hit, trade is closed when the combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend change from upward to downward.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
Enable MFI (if true trades are filtered using Market Facilitation Index (MFI) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Enable AO (if true trades are filtered using Awesome Oscillator (AO) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. The first and key concept is the Bullish Reversal Bar candlestick pattern. This is just the single bar pattern. The rules are simple:
Candle shall be closed in it's upper half
High of this candle shall be below all three Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
How we can use all these indicators in this strategy? This strategy is a counter trend one. Candle's high shall be below all Alligator's lines. During this market stage the bullish reversal bar candlestick pattern shall be printed. This bar during the downtrend is a high probability setup for the potential reversal to the upside: bulls were able to close the price in the upper half of a candle. The breaking of its high is a high probability signal that trend change is confirmed and script opens long trade. If market continues going down and break down the bullish reversal bar's low potential trend change has been invalidated and strategy close long trade.
If market really reversed and started moving to the upside strategy waits for the trend change form the downtrend to the uptrend according to approximation of Alligator and Fractals combination. If this change happens strategy close the trade. This approach helps to stay in the long trade while the uptrend continuation is likely and close it if there is a high probability of the uptrend finish.
Optionally users can enable MFI and AO filters. First of all, let's briefly explain what are these two indicators. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
This indicator is filtering signals in the following way: if current AO bar is decreasing this candle can be interpreted as a bullish reversal bar. This logic is applicable because initially this strategy is a trend reversal, it is searching for the high probability setup against the current trend. Decreasing AO is the additional high probability filter of a downtrend.
Let's briefly look what is MFI. The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential reversal bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.

Quantoshi Global Liquidity StrategyThis strategy leverages global liquidity data alongside technical indicators like the Rate of Change (ROC) and Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) to identify optimal long-entry points during major market trends. The script is designed to capture long-term, sustained momentum and includes built-in risk management by filtering out rapid price spikes. It is best suited for swing trading or long-term trend trading.
Key Features:
Global Liquidity Data:
The strategy incorporates data from major global central banks and M2 money supply to calculate a comprehensive liquidity index, which is a critical component for long-term trend detection.
ROC-DEMA Crossover:
It combines the Rate of Change (ROC) and a 100-period Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) to identify momentum shifts. Long entries are triggered when these indicators confirm an upward trend.
Price Thresholds:
The strategy compares the current price to the price from several candles ago to ensure positions are not entered during unsustainable price surges.
Custom Alerts:
Automated alerts for long entries and exits allow users to automate their trades or receive timely notifications when market conditions are met.
How It Works:
The strategy enters long positions when ROC and DEMA signals confirm a positive trend, and the price conditions suggest a sustainable upward momentum. Long exits occur when the momentum reverses, with a clear crossover signal of ROC below DEMA. Custom alert messages make it ideal for automated trading setups.
Why It's Unique:
This strategy combines liquidity data with technical indicators to filter noise and focus on significant market shifts. It allows traders to capture major trend reversals without needing to actively monitor the charts, making it useful for those focused on swing or long-term trading.
Backtesting & Risk Management:
Given its long-term focus, this strategy generates only a few signals per decade when used on a weekly timescale. As a result, traditional backtesting show few trades, but historical analysis reveals its effectiveness in capturing major market movements.
Account Size:
The backtest is based on a $1,000 account size to represent a realistic trading scenario.
Commissions & Tick size: Commission fees of 0.1% and a tick size of 100 are applied to reflect real-world trading conditions.
Trade Size:
Risk per trade is limited to 5% of the account balance to align with sound risk management practices.
