Momentum/Breakout Strategy A professional-grade trend–momentum hybrid strategy designed for high–timeframe precision and long-term consistency.
It combines exponential moving averages (EMA 20/50) to define directional bias, RSI and MACD to confirm momentum strength, and a manually coded ADX filter to validate market trend quality.
ATR-based stop placement and trailing mechanisms control downside volatility, while an optional daily EMA trend filter aligns trades with higher–timeframe direction for smoother performance.

BTCUSD Momentum After Abnormal DaysThis indicator identifies abnormal days in the Bitcoin market (BTCUSD) based on daily returns exceeding specific thresholds defined by a statistical approach. It is inspired by the findings of Caporale and Plastun (2020), who analyzed the cryptocurrency market's inefficiencies and identified exploitable patterns, particularly around abnormal returns.
Key Concept:
Abnormal Days:
Days where the daily return significantly deviates (positively or negatively) from the historical average.
Positive abnormal days: Returns exceed the mean return plus k times the standard deviation.
Negative abnormal days: Returns fall below the mean return minus k times the standard deviation.
Momentum Effect:
As described in the academic paper, on abnormal days, prices tend to move in the direction of the abnormal return until the end of the trading day, creating momentum effects. This can be leveraged by traders for profit opportunities.
How It Works:
Calculation:
The script calculates the daily return as the percentage difference between the open and close prices. It then derives the mean and standard deviation of returns over a configurable lookback period.
Thresholds:
The script dynamically computes upper and lower thresholds for abnormal days using the mean and standard deviation. Days exceeding these thresholds are flagged as abnormal.
Visualization:
The mean return and thresholds are plotted as dynamic lines.
Abnormal days are visually highlighted with transparent green (positive) or red (negative) backgrounds on the chart.
References:
This indicator is based on the methodology discussed in "Momentum Effects in the Cryptocurrency Market After One-Day Abnormal Returns" by Caporale and Plastun (2020). Their research demonstrates that hourly returns during abnormal days exhibit a strong momentum effect, moving in the same direction as the abnormal return. This behavior contradicts the efficient market hypothesis and suggests profitable trading opportunities.
"Prices tend to move in the direction of abnormal returns till the end of the day, which implies the existence of a momentum effect on that day giving rise to exploitable profit opportunities" (Caporale & Plastun, 2020).

Wave Momentum StrategyWave Momentum Strategy is a momentum and cyclic based strategy. It uses the best indicators I've created in the past along with some other HPT (High Probability Trade) signals I developed to attempt to trade successfully at any time-frame. The primary underlying signal generator is the Wave Momentum Indicator which you'll also find on my profile. This indicator gets more accurate with time (larger timescale) and in general gives an excellent indication of overall market conditions (bullish, bearish, chop).
It works best with Futures because it doesn't fall victim to the gap open or the gap and drop as frequently. I have not tested with stocks/equities because I do not trade them regularly. I traded using this system for most of the past few years until I moved to an automated system I built in C#. It was one of at least 4 strategies I ran at anywhere from 5m to 1d intervals.
Dynamic Momentum Index (DMI) Backtest This indicator plots Dynamic Momentum Index indicator. The Dynamic Momentum
Index (DMI) was developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll. The indicator
is covered in detail in their book The New Technical Trader.
The DMI is identical to Welles Wilder`s Relative Strength Index except the
number of periods is variable rather than fixed. The variability of the time
periods used in the DMI is controlled by the recent volatility of prices.
The more volatile the prices, the more sensitive the DMI is to price changes.
In other words, the DMI will use more time periods during quiet markets, and
less during active markets. The maximum time periods the DMI can reach is 30
and the minimum is 3. This calculation method is similar to the Variable
Moving Average, also developed by Tushar Chande.
The advantage of using a variable length time period when calculating the RSI
is that it overcomes the negative effects of smoothing, which often obscure short-term moves.
The volatility index used in controlling the time periods in the DMI is based
on a calculation using a five period standard deviation and a ten period average
of the standard deviation.

Bitcoin Momentum StrategyThis is a very simple long-only strategy I've used since December 2022 to manage my Bitcoin position.
I'm sharing it as an open-source script for other traders to learn from the code and adapt it to their liking if they find the system concept interesting.
General Overview
Always do your own research and backtesting - this script is not intended to be traded blindly (no script should be) and I've done limited testing on other markets beyond Ethereum and BTC, it's just a template to tweak and play with and make into one's own.
The results shown in the strategy tester are from Bitcoin's inception so as to get a large sample size of trades, and potential returns have diminished significantly as BTC has grown to become a mega cap asset, but the script includes a date filter for backtesting and it has still performed solidly in recent years (speaking from personal experience using it myself - DYOR with the date filter).
The main advantage of this system in my opinion is in limiting the max drawdown significantly versus buy & hodl. Theoretically much better returns can be made by just holding, but that's also a good way to lose 70%+ of your capital in the inevitable bear markets (also speaking from experience).
In saying all of that, the future is fundamentally unknowable and past results in no way guarantee future performance.
System Concept:
Capture as much Bitcoin upside volatility as possible while side-stepping downside volatility as quickly as possible.
The system uses a simple but clever momentum-style trailing stop technique I learned from one of my trading mentors who uses this approach on momentum/trend-following stock market systems.
Basically, the system "ratchets" up the stop-loss to be much tighter during high bearish volatility to protect open profits from downside moves, but loosens the stop loss during sustained bullish momentum to let the position ride.
It is invested most of the time, unless BTC is trading below its 20-week EMA in which case it stays in cash/USDT to avoid holding through bear markets. It only trades one position (no pyramiding) and does not trade short, but can easily be tweaked to do whatever you like if you know what you're doing in Pine.
Default parameters:
HTF: Weekly Chart
EMA: 20-Period
ATR: 5-period
Bar Lookback: 7
Entry Rule #1:
Bitcoin's current price must be trading above its higher-timeframe EMA (Weekly 20 EMA).
Entry Rule #2:
Bitcoin must not be in 'caution' condition (no large bearish volatility swings recently).
Enter at next bar's open if conditions are met and we are not already involved in a trade.
"Caution" Condition:
Defined as true if BTC's recent 7-bar swing high minus current bar's low is > 1.5x ATR, or Daily close < Daily 20-EMA.
Trailing Stop:
Stop is trailed 1 ATR from recent swing high, or 20% of ATR if in caution condition (ie. 0.2 ATR).
Exit on next bar open upon a close below stop loss.
I typically use a limit order to open & exit trades as close to the open price as possible to reduce slippage, but the strategy script uses market orders.
I've never had any issues getting filled on limit orders close to the market price with BTC on the Daily timeframe, but if the exchange has relatively low slippage I've found market orders work fine too without much impact on the results particularly since BTC has consistently remained above $20k and highly liquid.
Cost of Trading:
The script uses no leverage and a default total round-trip commission of 0.3% which is what I pay on my exchange based on their tier structure, but this can vary widely from exchange to exchange and higher commission fees will have a significantly negative impact on realized gains so make sure to always input the correct theoretical commission cost when backtesting any script.
Static slippage is difficult to estimate in the strategy tester given the wide range of prices & liquidity BTC has experienced over the years and it largely depends on position size, I set it to 150 points per buy or sell as BTC is currently very liquid on the exchange I trade and I use limit orders where possible to enter/exit positions as close as possible to the market's open price as it significantly limits my slippage.
But again, this can vary a lot from exchange to exchange (for better or worse) and if BTC volatility is high at the time of execution this can have a negative impact on slippage and therefore real performance, so make sure to adjust it according to your exchange's tendencies.
Tax considerations should also be made based on short-term trade frequency if crypto profits are treated as a CGT event in your region.
Summary:
A simple, but effective and fairly robust system that achieves the goals I set for it.
From my preliminary testing it appears it may also work on altcoins but it might need a bit of tweaking/loosening with the trailing stop distance as the default parameters are designed to work with Bitcoin which obviously behaves very differently to smaller cap assets.
Good luck out there!
RSI Momentum ScalperOverview
The "RSI Momentum Scalper" is a Pine Script v5 strategy crafted for trading highly volatile markets, with a special focus on newly listed cryptocurrencies. This strategy harnesses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) alongside volume analysis and momentum thresholds to pinpoint short-term trading opportunities. It supports both long and short trades, managed with customizable take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop levels, which are visually plotted on the chart for easy tracking.
Why I Created This Strategy
I developed the "RSI Momentum Scalper" because I was seeking a reliable trading strategy tailored to newly listed, highly volatile cryptocurrencies. These assets often experience rapid price fluctuations, rendering traditional strategies less effective. I aimed to create a tool that could exploit momentum and volume spikes while managing risk through adaptable exit parameters. This strategy is designed to address that need, offering a flexible approach for traders in dynamic crypto markets.
How It Works
The strategy utilizes RSI to identify momentum shifts, combined with volume confirmation, to trigger long or short entries. Trades are controlled with take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop levels, which adjust dynamically as the price moves in your favor. The trailing stop helps lock in profits, while the plotted exit levels provide clear visual cues for trade management.
Customizable Settings
The script is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust it to various market conditions and trading styles. Here’s a brief overview of the key settings:
Trade Mode: Select "Both," "Long Only," or "Short Only" to determine the trade direction.
(Default: Both)
RSI Length: Sets the lookback period for the RSI calculation (2 to 30).
(Default: 8)
A shorter length increases RSI sensitivity, suitable for volatile assets.
RSI Overbought: Defines the upper RSI threshold (60 to 99) for short entries.
(Default: 90)
Higher values signal stronger overbought conditions.
RSI Oversold: Defines the lower RSI threshold (1 to 40) for long entries.
(Default: 10)
Lower values indicate stronger oversold conditions.
RSI Momentum Threshold: Sets the minimum RSI momentum change (1 to 15) to trigger entries.
(Default: 14)
Adjusts the sensitivity to price momentum.
Volume Multiplier: Multiplies the volume moving average to filter high-volume bars (1.0 to 3.0).
(Default: 1)
Higher values require stronger volume confirmation.
Volume MA Length: Sets the lookback period for the volume moving average (5 to 50).
(Default: 13)
Influences the volume trend sensitivity.
Take Profit %: Sets the profit target as a percentage of the entry price (0.1 to 10.0).
(Default: 4.15)
Determines when to close a winning trade.
Stop Loss %: Sets the loss limit as a percentage of the entry price (0.1 to 6.0).
(Default: 1.85)
Protects against significant losses.
Trailing Stop %: Sets the trailing stop distance as a percentage (0.1 to 4.0).
(Default: 2.55)
Locks in profits as the price moves favorably.
Visual Features
Exit Levels: Take profit (green), fixed stop loss (red), and trailing stop (orange) levels are plotted when in a position.
Performance Table: Displays win rate, total trades, and net profit in the top-right corner.
How to Use
Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust the input settings based on the cryptocurrency and timeframe you’re trading.
Monitor the plotted exit levels for trade management.
Use the performance table to assess the strategy’s performance over time.
Notes
Test the strategy on a demo account or with historical data before live trading.
The strategy is optimized for short-term scalping; adjust settings for longer timeframes if needed.
Alpha Candle Breakout Signal on Momentum from Support Resistance
Hello traders,
Let’s start with a brief description of what this strategy/indicator is and what it does and how we trade based on Alpha Candles.
The definition of an Alpha Candle is that it is mathematically calculated, and significantly bigger than the previous candles. This could be a green candle or a red candle, as long as the body is significantly bigger than the previous candles at the end of the calculation. All calculations are done in real time, we do NOT paint the candle sticks after the close of the candle and do not use offset values. This is extremely important. You will see the candle changing it's color as the body of the candle gets bigger with real time data feed. (Recalculate On Every Tick is ON by default). Now besides the mathematical calculations, an Alpha Candle also represents the emotion in the market for that stock in that moment. We can also say that an Alpha Candle is a change in the momentum.
Now that we’ve identified the Alpha candle, the second step is, to have a look at the chart and identify if the Alpha candle is breaking to a new high / low from a consolidation period, or from a good chart pattern (ascending / descending triangle , pennant , sideways consolidation) or a sudden direction change of the stock (bounce). Remember, the script will paint all Alpha candles regardless.
NVAX day trading example
Forex
Crypto
PLUG (Bounce example)
The script will identify the Alpha candles that are breaking to a new high / low from a user input look back period (default is 20 bars back, but this can be changed by the user input). An Alpha candle that breaks the look back period, will have a stop loss line below for Green Alpha or above for Red Alpha Candle and reward targets, like target1 or target2 (both are user input fields, can be adjusted to personal R values, default values are 2R and 3R)
A 2R means two times the reward (profit) of a 1-unit risk. If you are comfortable of loosing $50 per trade which will be considered 1-unit, then 2R means $100 reward (profit) target and a 3R is $150 reward (profit) target. Those R values will be plotted and/or labelled on the chart with dollar amounts if desired. You can change your R values from the user input area, even with decimal points, like 2.5R or 3.75R. If you shoot for at least 2R, you could be wrong 6 times out of 10, and still make 2R profit, as long as the other 4 trades give you a total of 8R. This is a basic trading concept. It will force the new traders to focus on risk/reward rather then a gambling attitude.
The script is meant to work with candle stick chart patterns only, it is NOT meant to work with ranges, line charts or point and figure charts. It will work with time frames like (seconds,1,2,3,5,10 minute or any minutes, daily, weekly). If you are trading IPOs , there might not be enough data for the script to do the calculation, so just be aware.
The script will identify the candles if they are Green Alpha (going up, bullish ) or Red Alpha (going down, bearish ). In order to see them clearly, we’ve greyed out the rest of the candles, and made Green Alpha candles white, and Red Alphas are left as red. You can change the colors from the user input area.
There is also a look back period, between 1-55 and the initial value is 20 for Green Alpha and 10 for Red Alpha. So, if the Alpha Candle breaks this look back period, it will be considered as an opportunity to take the trade. The code will put the stop loss area, possible target1 and target2 areas with a blue diamond and will draw the resistance/support lines for that Alpha candle. Depending on the individual’s risk tolerance, a label on the right side of the screen will show the risk tolerance (user input value) and the number of shares to be traded based on the risk tolerance (# of shares will be for the last Alpha Candle that is formed, it will constantly update itself with the new Alpha Candle)
For those who might be familiar with the three-bar play, we implemented something similar, so the code will find them in real time. Once an Alpha Candle is formed, if the following candle is a very small candle, also called pin bar , it will be painted to orange, so you can see it clearly. This pin bar is significantly smaller than the previous candles and formed right after an Alpha Candle.
Like anything in life, nothing is free. Meaning you have to work for it. So if you are looking to buy/sell blindly based on some indicators and signals, please do not consider this script. However, once you start using it, you will see how patterns repeat, when they repeat and how they repeat. It will identify the action, but you have to check the validity from the charts, so user discretionary is advised. As an example, if the Alpha candle is breaking from a consolidation period at $10. Let’s assume stop loss is at $9 so the 2R target will be $12, but if there is a possible resistance at $11, then the trader has to decide to take the trade for a possible 1R return, or skip the trade.
We try to approach the trading as a set of rules and processing the trades one by one, with a calculated risk and reward. This script will give you the Candle stick formation that is worth consideration and will draw the Stop Loss area (you can tweak this to your liking), will draw the 2-3R Targets, and will calculate the number of shares to be purchased based on the Risk Tolerance user entered in the user input area. The rest is to let the trade take care of it self.
Charts and patterns work better, when there is enough volume in a particular stock. If the stock is trading very low in volume , things will not work as expected. So, we must focus on the abnormal stocks, like gap gainers, volume gainer stocks, or heavily traded stocks (for intraday trading). For swing or long-term traders, one could look for a Green Alpha candle, assess the risk and possible return and trade the plan on a daily chart pattern (long term), or 15,30,60 min charts for swing trades.
If you are looking to short a stock, look for stocks that are weak (gap downs), so look for Red Alpha formations in that stock.
Once the back testing is turned on, code will generate buy/sell signals, otherwise it will work as an indicator. But please keep in mind….. For day trading, the stock has to be abnormally trading, so the chart patterns and the Alpha Candles work correctly. Volume has to be more than usual. It is the best way to have predictable results for day trading. If the volume of the stock is 2-5 times or more than the average of 20 days period (early in the morning), and even more later in the day, it is a good indication that the stock is trading on an abnormal volume with some news (pre-market abnormality is a good sign for possible abnormality for that stock).
For back testing, user can select from the user input area :
• Long or Short Trades or both or use the script as an indicator
• Close any open position if an Alpha candle forms in the opposite direction
• Pyramid the trades up to 4 levels (allow to buy/sell 4 times in the same direction every time another Alpha Candle forms)
• Breakout/breakdown look back period (every time an Alpha Candle forms and breaks this look back period, it will be a trade opportunity)
• Target Reward areas
• Stop Loss area
• Time frame (change the time frame and observe which time frame made good profit. Test the plan for future trades. Test it in as many abnormal stocks for the day they were behaving abnormal as possible). Time frame is not a user input field, just the time frame of the chart, 2,5,10 min, 1 hour etc.
• Selective date testing (between two dates/times). This is very important as most of the good opportunities comes from abnormal price action with volume . If you back test with the maximum amount of data for that abnormal stock on that day, it will produce unrealistic results, because the stock will have a normal course of trend before the news. Remember, we are looking for stocks that are trading abnormal in both price and volume or stocks like AAPL , TSLA which are trading heavily on each day. It is also a good way to learn, how and when to buy/sell, where to put stop losses by observing the chart with the Alpha Candles showing the results.
• All the above values will have an impact on the total profit / loss.

Now that we’ve covered what the script does, let’s plan the trade and trade the plan.
Side Note:
-------------
We started coding this as an indicator to show the Alpha Candles to find opportunities in the market. Later in the development, we implemented it as a Strategy, to be able to back test the ideas, to tweak some rules for entry/exit and see the effects on our profit/loss percentages in general. We kept the original idea being an Indicator, to show us the Alpha Candles in real time. This requires the option “Indicator Mode” is to be selected from the User Input area, and leaving the “Recalculate On Every Tick” is selected from the Properties tab of the strategy (as of Pine Script v5). Strategy is turning this “On” by default.
Disclaimer: This script is an educational and personal use only tool and should be used accordingly. User can not publish any images created with this code. Do your own due diligence, do not buy / sell stocks based on any indicator, always use stop losses. We do not make any promises as this indicator or any indicator will make you a profitable trader. Trading and technical analysis is difficult, it takes time to build confidence and experience. Study the charts and candlestick formations. Study support/resistance areas and how to identify them. This will help you to tweak the script’s stop loss areas and 2R-3R targets. Do not invest any money you are not comfortable loosing.
This is an invite only strategy. We will give ample time to test it out. After that you will need to subscribe. To get access to this strategy trader can send me an email from the links below.

HFT Momentum BacktesterDefault Settings are meant to be used in XBT/USD chart on 1 hour time frame. If you want to use for another asset on another time frame YOU MUST CHANGE THE SETTINGS
This is momentum-based strategy designed by HFT Research in order to take advantage of volatile, trending markets.
Use ADX
ADX stands for average directional index . It is an indicator that measures volatility in the market. Unfortunately, the worst market condition for this strategy is sideways market. ADX becomes a useful tool since it can detect trend. If the volatility is low and there is no real price movement, ADX will pick that up and will not let you get in trades during a sideways market. It will allow you to enter trades only when the market is trending.
Use MA CrossOver
This strategy’s main driver is the moving average cross over however, unlike many other indicators, this strategy has ALL the moving averages that are on trading view. Total of 13 different moving averages all calculated in a different fashion available in a drop-down menu. You are able to choose two different moving averages to cross for your entry as well as being able to adjust the length of each individual moving average.
Use MA Spread % Filter
As an extra protection, we introduced MA spread % filter. We all know that momentum strategy works when there is actually a trend that has momentum. When there is no trend and market side choppy, we get a lot of noisy signals. In order to battle that we have introduced MA spread % filter. Using this piece of setting, you will be able to chose how strong the cross over actually is. If price is moving sideways, the moving averages will cross each other barely. If the price has actually any steam and momentum, MA 1 will cross over MA 2 aggressively because it will be trending market.
First you chose what the minimum % difference there should be between your 2 moving averages. If you keep this too tight, it won’t be as useful and if you keep this too large then the script will not generate any signals. Trust us, there is a fine balance in between! Then you proceed to chose your moving averages that the bot should keep track of.

Tradveller MomentumThis is the trend following + momentum startegy.
A momentum strategy is an investment approach that aims to capitalize on the continuation of existing market trends. It involves buying securities that have been performing well and selling or shorting those that have been underperforming, with the expectation that the strong performers will continue to do well, and the weak performers will continue to decline.
The core idea behind this strategy is that price momentum tends to persist over short to medium-term periods, and investors can profit from this by identifying and following trends. Momentum strategies can be applied to various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies.
There are different ways to measure and implement momentum strategies, such as:
Relative strength: Comparing the performance of a security or asset to a benchmark or its peers over a specific time frame.
Moving averages: Using moving averages (e.g., 50-day, 100-day, or 200-day) to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals.
Rate of change (ROC): Calculating the percentage change in price over a specified period to measure the speed and direction of price movements.
Trend-following indicators: Utilizing technical indicators such as Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Relative Strength Index (RSI), or Bollinger Bands to identify and follow trends.
Momentum strategies can be effective in both bull and bear markets. However, they are susceptible to sudden reversals in market trends, and thus, momentum investors need to be disciplined in following their strategy, managing risk, and adjusting their positions accordingly.
The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)
Are you tired of manually analyzing charts and trying to find profitable trading opportunities? Look no further! Our algorithmic trading strategy, "Flash," is here to simplify your trading process and maximize your profits.
Flash is an advanced trading algorithm that combines three powerful indicators to generate highly selective and accurate trading signals. The Momentum-RSI, Super-Trend Analysis and EMA-Strategy indicators are used to identify the strength and direction of the underlying trend.
The Momentum-RSI signals the strength of the trend and only generates trading signals in confirmed upward or downward trends. The Super-Trend Analysis confirms the trend direction and generates signals when the price breaks through the super-trend line. The EMA-Strategy is used as a qualifier for the generation of trading signals, where buy signals are generated when the EMA crosses relevant trend lines.
Flash is highly selective, as it only generates trading signals when all three indicators align. This ensures that only the highest probability trades are taken, resulting in maximum profits.
Our trading strategy also comes with two profit management options. Option 1 uses the so-called supertrend-indicator which uses the dynamic ATR as a key input, while option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels.
The settings for each indicator can be customized, allowing you to adjust the length, limit value, factor, and source value to suit your preferences. You can also set the time period in which you want to run the backtest and how many dollar trades you want to open in each position for fully automated trading.
Choose your preferred trade direction and stop-loss/take-profit settings, and let Flash do the rest. Say goodbye to manual chart analysis and hello to consistent profits with Flash. Try it now!

• This indicator signals the strength of the underlying upward- or downward-trend.
• The signal range of this indicator is from 0 to 100. Values > 60 indicate a confirmed upward- or downward-trend.
• The strategy will only generate trading signals in case the stock (or any other financial security) is in a confirmed upward- (long entry signals) or downward-trend (short entry signals).
• This indicator provides information with regards to the strength of the underlying trend and it does not give any insight with regard to the direction of the trend. Therefore, this strategy also considers other indicators which provide technical confirmation with regards to the direction of the underlying trend.
Graph 1 shows this concept:
• The Momentum-RSI indicator gives lower readings during consolidation phases and no trading signals are generated during these periods.
Example (graph 2):
2. Super-Trend Analysis
• The red line in the graph below represents the so-called super-trend-line. Trading signals are only generated in case the price action breaks through this super-trend-line indicating a new confirmed upward-trend (or downward-trend, respectively).
• If that happens, the super trend-line changes its color from red to green, giving confirmation that the trend changed from bearish to bullish and long-entries can be considered.
• The vice-versa approach can be considered for short entries.
Graph 3 explains this concept:
3. Exponential Moving Average / EMA-Strategy
The functionality of this EMA-element of the strategy has been programmed as follows:
• The exponential moving average and two other trend lines are being used as qualifiers for the generation of trading-signals.
• Buy-signals for long-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the red line.
• Sell-signals for short-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the green line.
An example is shown in graph 4 below:
We use this indicator to determine the new trend direction that may occur by using the data of the price's past movement.
4. Bringing it all together
This section describes in detail, how this strategy combines the Momentum-RSI, the super-trend analysis and the EMA-strategy.
The strategy only generates trading-signals in case all of the following conditions and qualifiers are being met:
1. Momentum-RSI is higher than the set value of this strategy. The standard and recommended value is 60 (graph 5):
2. The super-trend analysis needs to indicate a confirmed upward-trend (for long-entry signals) or a confirmed downward-trend (for short-entry signals), respectively.
3. The EMA-strategy needs to indicate that the stock or financial security is in a confirmed upward-trend (long-entries) or downward-trend (short-entries), respectively.
The strategy will only generate trading signals if all three qualifiers are being met. This makes this strategy highly selective and is the key secret for its success.
Example for Long-Entry (graph 6):
When these conditions are met, our Long position is opened.
Example for Short-Entry (graph 7):
Trade Management Options (graph 8)
Option 1
In this dynamic version, the so-called supertrend-indicator is being used for the trade exit management. This supertrend-indicator is a sophisticated and optimized methodology which uses the dynamic ATR as one of its key input parameters.
The following settings of the supertrend-indicator can be changed and optimized (graph 9):
The dynamic SL/TP-lines of the supertrend-indicator are shown in the charts. The ATR-length and the supertrend-factor result in a multiplier value which can be used to fine-tune and optimize this strategy based on the financial security, timeframe and overall market environment.
Option 2 (graph 10):
Option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels which will appear as straight horizontal lines in the chart.
Settings options (graph 11):
The following settings can be changed for the three elements of this strategy:
1. (Length Mom-Rsi): Length of our Mom-RSI indicator.
2. Mom-RSI Limit Val: the higher this number, the more momentum of the underlying trend is required before the strategy will start creating trading signals.
3. The length and factor values of the super trend indicator can be adjusted:ATR Length SuperTrend and Factor Super Trend
4. You can set the source value used by the ema trend indicator to determine the ema line: Source Ema Ind
5. You can set the EMA length and the percentage value to follow the price: Length Ema Ind and Percent Ema Ind
6. The backtesting period can be adjusted: Start and End time of BackTest
7. Dollar cost per position: this is relevant for 100% fully automated trading.
8. Trade direction can be adjusted: LONG, SHORT or BOTH
9. As we explained above, we can determine our stop-loss and take-profit levels dynamically or statically. (Version 1 or Version 2 )
Display options on the charts graph 12):
1. Show horizontal lines for the Stop-Loss and Take-profit levels on the charts.
2. Display relevant Trend Lines, including color setting options for the supertrend functionality. In the example below, green lines indicate a confirmed uptrend, red lines indicate a confirmed downtrend.
Other comments
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.

BB Breakout + Momentum Squeeze [Strategy]This Strategy is Based on 3 free indicators
- Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator: Link
- TTM Squeeze Pro: Link
- Rolling ATR Bands: Link
Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator - This tool shows how strong a market trend is by measuring how often prices move outside their normal Bollinger bands range. It helps you see whether prices are strongly moving in one direction or just moving sideways. By looking at how much and how frequently prices push beyond their typical boundaries, you can identify which direction the market is heading over your selected time period.
TM Squeeze Pro - This is a custom version of the TTM Squeeze indicator.
It's designed to help traders spot consolidation phases in the market (when price is coiling or "squeezing") and to catch breakouts early when volatility returns. The logic is based on the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, combined with a momentum oscillator to show direction and strength.
Rolling ATR Bands - This indicator combines volatility bands (ATR) with momentum and trend signals to show where the market might be breaking out, retesting, or trending. It's highly visual and helpful for traders looking to time entries/exits during trending or volatile moves.
Logic Of the Strategy:
We are going to use the Bollinger Bands Breakout to determine the direction of the market. Than check the Volatility of the price by looking at the TTM Squeeze indicator. And use the ATR Bands to determine dynamic Stop Losses and based on the calculate the Take Profit targets and quantity for each position dynamically.
For the Long Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bull Power (Green line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
For the Short Setup:
1. We need to see the that Bear Power (Red line of the Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscilator) is crossing the level of 50.
2. Check the presence of volatility (Green dot based on the TTM Squeeze indicator)
Stop Loss is determined by the Lower ATR Band (for the Long entry) and Upper ATR Band (For the Short entry)
Take Profit is 1:1.5 risk reward ration, which means if the Stop loss is 1% the TP target will be 1.5%
Move stop Loss to Breakeven: If the price will go in the direction of the trade for at least half of the Risk Reward target then the stop will automatically be adjusted to the entry price. For Example: the Stop Loss is 1%, the price has move at least 0.5% in the direction of your trade and that will move the Stop Loss level to the Entry point.
You can Adjust the parameters for each indicator used in that script and also adjust the Risk and Money management block to see how the PnL will change.
Entropy, Liquidity, and Momentum - ELMoELMo is a momentum trading strategy based on two concepts: entropy and liquidity
The core concept behind the strategy is twofold: trade based on reversals in momentum based on the strength of a trend, and trade when market liquidity is beneficial to the position.
Entries and exits are determined by first calculating Shannon entropy for the time series and applying various moving averages. Separately, the Hui-Heubel Liquidity Ratio (lhh) is calculated and applied as a filter. Finally, additional conditionals such as RSI are applied to reduce false entries.
Entropy is defined as the amount of 'randomness' in a system and in this application can be thought of as a measure of the strength or weakness of a trend. The main moving averages and visible components in ELMo represent the normalized entropy score of the 'close' value (0 is series minimum, 1 is maximum). lhh will measure illiquid/fragile markets with low values and liquid/resilient markets with a high value. In general, the strategy will prefer to enter long when liquidity is high and short when liquidity is low, based off of cross events in the displayed entropy moving averages. I have published lhh as a separate indicator but it is not required for this strategy to function.
Several settings can be configured inside the strategy, including long/short bias, lookback window, MA band lengths, RSI boundaries, and more, but I have tried to choose sensible defaults that work for a large variety of situations and equities. My preferred time scales are 1m 1h 4h 1d 1w 1mo but others may work fine. Trailing stops are implemented using configurable ATR values. Additional settings are available to limit entry times (default is set to US options market open/close), and backtesting start date.
The long strategy is generally more accurate than short. Since Pinescript does not have a way to manage long/short exposure in a hedged fashion, I prefer to run two separate instances of ELMo in long-only and short-only modes for signaling. I prefer to trade this strategy with a long bias using the short signals as indications of windows of weakness where hedging could be prudent.
8 Day Run - Momentum StrategyInspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.
Entry criteria:
This strategy is used to capture momentum effects on the daily periodicities. Once prices have had a run of 8 or more consecutive closes above or below the 5-period simple moving average the strategy is primed to trade.
It will then enter a short on the first close above the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes below the 5sma (it will enter a long when the price closes below the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes above the 5sma).
Exit criteria:
All trades are exited on the first close back above/ below the 5sma.
Squeeze Momentum with DMI confirmation strategyThe script combines Squeeze Momentum and Directional Movement Index (DMI) confirmation. It provides long and short entry and closure daily trade signals, suitable for Spot, Marginal and Futures exchanges
The strategy components are customizable:
Change risk management settings (take profit, stop loss, trailing)
Change signals filters
Enable TrueRange or disable
Change lengths and periods of components
Advantages:
1. Deal start condition includes the following filters and requirements:
Momentum value is adjusted using a relative proportion of volume at each timeframe scale to exclude a chance of opening position at a low impulse stage
Squeeze momentum trigger condition is automatically checked before a position is opened
+DI , -DI and ADX values are taken into account to confirm the trend direction
2. Exit positions using unique risk management settings for each asset
3. Strategy allows to connect broker or automatic trading system using web hook alerts

THE HITMAN - Market Momentum FinderThe Hitman indicator is a tool to detect momentum swings in the market. Its intention is to identify good entry and exit points and alert you to have a closer look at the charts. It can be used on any chart, timeframe or market.
In detail we measure the strength of a trend by different values like volatility , price averages and trend momentum and calculates for every candle, if a change in trend appears or not.
Be aware, that all results will be based on data from the past. There is no guarantee that the results you get by back testing, will also be achieved in the future.
How to use it?
We recommend to use the signal only in direction of the trend. It can be used to scalp against the trend but for Risk Management reasons we advise not to do so. In sideways movement we recommend to look out for channels or levels of resistance and support and use the signal of the script as confirmation.
M0PB (Momentum Pullback)Long/short strategy that identifies extreme readings on the rsi as a *momentum signal*, unlike most RSI strategies the script will look to buy or sell the first pullback in the direction of the extreme RSI reading.
Enters positions on the first pullback to the 5ema(low)/ 5ema(high) and exits at rolling 12 bar high/ low. The rolling high/ low feature means that if the price enters into a prolonged consolidation the profit target will begin to reduce with each new bar. The best trades tend to work within 2-6 bars.
Built for use on 5 min intervals on FX, Indexes, and Crypto. Lower than 5 minute time frames tend to be noisier and mean more commissions and a higher risk of slippage so the suggested timeframe is 5 mins.
Hard stop is X ATR (users can experiment with this) from the position entry price. This can be adjusted in user inputs.
There is a lot of slack left in entries and exits but the overall strategy is fairly robust across timeframes and markets and has between 60%-70% win rate with larger winners.
Signals that occur from economic news volatility are best avoided.
Oscilator candles - momentum strategyThis is momentum based strategy based on indicators published earlier:
Also trying to use delayed supertrend based on steps as mentioned in the published indicator:
Added option to filter trade entries based on higher timeframe pivots. But, it is not so effective and may need further optimization.
Hash Momentum Strategy# Hash Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
The **Hash Momentum Strategy** is a professional-grade momentum trading system designed to capture strong directional price movements with precision timing and intelligent risk management. Unlike traditional EMA crossover strategies, this system uses momentum acceleration as its primary signal, resulting in earlier entries and better risk-to-reward ratios.
---
## ⚡ What Makes This Strategy Unique
### 1. Momentum-Based Entry System
Most strategies rely on lagging indicators like moving average crossovers. This strategy captures momentum *acceleration* - entering when price movement is gaining strength, not after the move has already happened.
### 2. Programmable Risk-to-Reward
Set your exact R:R ratio (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, etc.) and the strategy automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels. No more guessing or manual calculations.
### 3. Smart Partial Profit Taking
Lock in profits at multiple stages:
- **First TP**: Take 50% off at 2R
- **Second TP**: Take 40% off at 2.5R
- **Final TP**: Let 10% ride to maximum target
This approach locks in gains while letting winners run.
### 4. Dynamic Momentum Threshold
Uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your threshold setting to adapt to market volatility. Volatile markets = higher threshold. Quiet markets = lower threshold.
### 5. Trade Cooldown System
Prevents overtrading and revenge trading by enforcing a cooldown period between trades. Configurable from 1-24 bars.
### 6. Optional Session & Weekend Filters
Filter trades by Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Optional weekend-off toggle to avoid low-liquidity periods.
---
## 🎯 How It Works
### Signal Generation
**STEP 1: Calculate Momentum**
- Momentum = Current Price - Price
- Check if Momentum > ATR × Threshold Multiplier
- Momentum must be accelerating (positive change in momentum)
**STEP 2: Confirm with EMA Trend Filter**
- Long: Price must be above EMA
- Short: Price must be below EMA
**STEP 3: Check Filters**
- Not in cooldown period
- Valid session (if enabled)
- Not weekend (if enabled)
**STEP 4: ENTRY SIGNAL TRIGGERED**
### Risk Management Example
**Example Long Trade:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop Loss: $97.80 (2.2% risk)
- Risk Amount: $2.20
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: $104.40 (2R = $4.40) → Close 50%
- TP2: $105.50 (2.5R = $5.50) → Close 40%
- Final: $105.50 (2.5R) → Close remaining 10%

## 🎓 Strategy Logic Explained
### Why Momentum > EMA Crossover?
**EMA Crossover Problems:**
- Signals lag behind price
- Late entries = poor R:R
- Many false signals in ranging markets
**Momentum Advantages:**
- Catches moves as they start accelerating
- Earlier entries = better R:R
- Adapts to volatility via ATR
### Why Partial Profit Taking?
**Without Partial TPs:**
- All-or-nothing approach
- Winners often turn to losers
- High stress watching open positions
**With Partial TPs:**
- Lock in 50% at first target
- Reduce risk to breakeven
- Let remainder ride for bigger gains
- Lower psychological pressure
### Why Trade Cooldown?
**Without Cooldown:**
- Revenge trading after losses
- Overtrading in choppy markets
- Emotional decision-making
**With Cooldown:**
- Forces discipline
- Waits for new setup to develop
- Reduces transaction costs
- Better signal quality

## ⚠️ Important Notes
1. **This is a momentum strategy, not an EMA strategy**
The EMA only confirms trend direction. Momentum generates the actual signals.
2. **Backtest thoroughly before live trading**
Past performance ≠ future results. Test on your specific asset and timeframe.
3. **Use proper position sizing**
Risk 1-2% of account per trade maximum. The strategy uses 100% equity by default (adjust in Properties).
4. **Dashboard auto-hides in real-time**
Clean chart for live trading. Visible during backtesting.
5. **Customize for your trading style**
All settings are fully adjustable. No single "best" configuration.
---
## 🚀 Quick Start Guide
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply to your preferred asset and timeframe
2. **Keep Defaults**: Start with default settings
3. **Backtest**: Review historical performance
4. **Paper Trade**: Test with simulated money first
5. **Go Live**: Start small and scale up
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
**Tip 1: Combine Timeframes**
Use higher timeframe (4H) for trend direction, lower timeframe (1H) for entries.
**Tip 2: Avoid News Events**
Major news can cause whipsaws. Consider manual intervention during high-impact events.
**Tip 3: Monitor Momentum Strength**
Dashboard shows momentum in sigma (σ). Values >1.0σ indicate very strong momentum.
**Tip 4: Adjust for Volatility**
In high-volatility markets, increase threshold and stop loss. In quiet markets, decrease them.
**Tip 5: Review Losing Trades**
Check if losses are hitting stop loss or reversing. Adjust stop accordingly.
