Profitable Supertrend v0.1 - AlphaThis a script to try detect the best combination of supertrend parameters in a space of time. Sadly the script is slow. Evaluate all possibilities params is hard for a pinescript and my knowledge too. In some cases, when you want evaluate many time could be the script fails for timeout. Perhaps with time I could enhance. For this problem of speed the calculate of combinatios it's not complete: In factor use a increment of 0.2 in each param (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 ...) in period the increment for each value is 3. The range for factor it's from 3.0 to 12.0. The range of period it's from 10 to 43
My knowledge don't let me go more far. Perhaps with time I can enhance the script.
PMax on RSI with Tillson T3Profit Maximizer Indicator on RSI with Tillson T3 Moving Average:
PMax uses ATR calculation inside, for this reason users couldn't manage to use PMax on RSI because RSI indicator doesn't have High and Low values in bars, but ATR needs that values. So I personally calculate RSI in a different way to have High and Low values of RSI wrt price bars.
IMPORTANT:
Because of the sudden movements and divergences on RSI, this indicator must firstly optimized for the charts before using. Optimization can be held by users for the meaningful parameters for each chart.
3 parameters are critical when optimizing:
First: Multiplier
Second: Tillson T3 Length
Third: T3 Volume Factor
Here are some information about Profit Maximizer:
PMax Indicator:
PMax Screener and Strategy:
PMax Explorer STRATEGY & SCREENERProfit Maximizer - PMax Explorer STRATEGY & SCREENER screens the BUY and SELL signals (trend reversals) for 20 user defined different tickers in Tradingview charts.
Simply input the name of the ticker in Tradingview that you want to screen.
Terminology explanation:
Confirmed Reversal: PMax reversal that happened in the last bar and cannot be repainted.
Potential Reversal: PMax reversal that might happen in the current bar but can also not happen depending upon the timeframe closing price.
Downtrend: Tickers that are currently in the sell zone
Uptrend: Tickers that are currently in the buy zone
Screener has also got a built in PMax indicator which users can confirm the reversals on graphs.
Screener explores the 20 tickers in current graph's time frame and also in desired parameters of the SuperTrend indicator.
Also you can optimize the parameters manually with the built in STRATEGY version.
PMax indicator :
Profit Maximizer - PMax is a brand new indicator developed by me.
It's a combination of two trailing stop loss indicators;
One is Anıl Özekşi's MOST (Moving Stop Loss) Indicator
and the other one is well known ATR based SuperTrend
Profit Maximizer - PMax tries to solve this problem. PMax combines the powerful sides of MOST (Moving Average Trend Changer) and SuperTrend (ATR price detection) in one indicator.
Backtest and optimization results of PMax are far better when compared to its ancestors MOST and SuperTrend. It reduces the number of false signals in sideways and give more reliable trade signals.
PMax is easy to determine the trend and can be used in any type of markets and instruments. It does not repaint.
The first parameter in the PMax indicator set by the three parameters is the period/length of ATR.
The second Parameter is the Multiplier of ATR which would be useful to set the value of distance from the built in Moving Average.
I personally think the most important parameter is the Moving Average Length and type.
PMax will be much sensitive to trend movements if Moving Average Length is smaller. And vice versa, will be less sensitive when it is longer.
As the period increases it will become less sensitive to little trends and price actions.
In this way, your choice of period, will be closely related to which of the sort of trends you are interested in.
We are under the effect of the uptrend in cases where the Moving Average is above PMax;
conversely under the influence of a downward trend, when the Moving Average is below PMax.
Built in Moving Average type defaultly set as EMA but users can choose from 8 different Moving Average types like:
SMA : Simple Moving Average
EMA : Exponential Movin Average
WMA : Weighted Moving Average
TMA : Triangular Moving Average
VAR : Variable Index Dynamic Moving Average aka VIDYA
WWMA : Welles Wilder's Moving Average
ZLEMA : Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
TSF : True Strength Force
Tip: In sideways VAR would be a good choice
You can use PMax default alarms and Buy Sell signals like:
1-
BUY when Moving Average crosses above PMax
SELL when Moving Average crosses under PMax
2-
BUY when prices jumps over PMax line.
SELL when prices go under PMax line.
McGinley Dynamic debugged🔍 McGinley Dynamic Debugged (Adaptive Moving Average)
This indicator plots the McGinley Dynamic, a mathematically adaptive moving average designed to reduce lag and better track price action during both trends and consolidations.
✅ Key Features:
Adaptive smoothing: The McGinley Dynamic adjusts itself based on the speed of price changes.
Lag reduction: Compared to traditional moving averages like EMA or SMA, McGinley provides smoother yet responsive tracking.
Stability fix: This version includes a robust fix for rare recursive calculation issues, particularly on low-priced historical assets (e.g., Wipro pre-2000).
⚙️ What’s Different in This Debugged Version?
Implements manual clamping on the source / previous value ratio to prevent mathematical spikes that could cause flattening or distortion in the plotted line.
Ensures more stable behavior across all instruments and timeframes, especially those with historically low price points or volatile early data.
💡 Use Case:
Ideal for:
Trend confirmation
Entry filtering
Adaptive support/resistance visualization
Improving signal precision in low-volatility or high-noise environments
⚠️ Notes:
Works best when combined with volume filters or other trend indicators for validation.
This version is optimized for visual use—for signal generation, consider pairing it with additional logic or thresholds.

Retracement Strategy [OmegaTools]Retracement Strategy is a systematic trend–retracement framework designed to identify directional opportunities after a confirmed momentum shift, and to manage exits using either trend reversals or overextension conditions. It is built around a smoothed RSI regime filter and a simple, price-based retracement trigger, making it applicable across a wide range of markets and timeframes while remaining transparent and easy to interpret.
The strategy begins by defining the underlying trend through a two-stage RSI signal. A standard RSI is computed over the user-defined Length input, then smoothed with a short moving average to reduce noise. Two symmetric thresholds are derived from the Threshold parameter: an upper band at 100 minus the threshold and a lower band at the threshold itself. When the smoothed RSI crosses above the upper band, the environment is classified as bullish and the internal trend state is set to uptrend. When the smoothed RSI crosses below the lower band, the environment is classified as bearish and the trend state becomes downtrend. When RSI moves back into the central zone between the two bands, the trend is considered neutral. In addition to the current trend, the strategy tracks the last non-neutral trend direction, which is used to detect genuine trend changes rather than transient oscillations.
Once a trend is established, the strategy looks for retracement entries in the direction of that trend. For long setups in an uptrend, it computes the lowest low over the previous Length minus one bars, excluding the current bar. A long signal is generated when price dips below this recent low while the trend state remains bullish. Symmetrically, for short setups in a downtrend, it computes the highest high over the previous Length minus one bars and enters short when price spikes above this recent high while the trend state remains bearish. This logic is designed to capture pullbacks against the prevailing RSI-defined trend, entering when the market tests or slightly violates recent extremes, rather than chasing breakouts. The candles are visually coloured to reflect the detected trend, highlighting bullish and bearish environments while keeping neutral phases distinguishable on the chart. An ATR-based measure is used solely to position the “UP” and “DN” labels on the chart for clearer visualisation of entry points; it does not directly influence position sizing or stop calculation in this implementation.
Take profit and stop loss behaviour are fully parameterized through the “Take Profit” and “Stop Loss” inputs, each offering three modes: None, Trend Change and Extension. When “Trend Change” is selected for the take profit, the strategy will only exit profitable positions when a confirmed trend reversal occurs. For a long position, this means that the strategy will close the trade when the trend state flips from uptrend to downtrend, and the last recorded trend direction validates that this is a genuine reversal rather than a neutral fluctuation; the same logic applies symmetrically for short positions. When “Extension” is selected as the take profit mode, the strategy closes profitable long trades when the smoothed RSI reaches or exceeds the upper threshold, interpreted as an overbought extension within the bullish regime, and closes profitable short trades when the smoothed RSI falls to or below the lower threshold, interpreted as an oversold extension within the bearish regime. When “None” is chosen, the strategy does not apply any explicit take profit logic, leaving trades to be managed by the stop loss settings or by user discretion in backtesting.
The stop loss parameter works in a parallel way. With “Trend Change” selected as stop loss, any open long position is closed when the trend flips from uptrend to downtrend, regardless of whether the trade is currently in profit or loss, and any open short is closed when the trend flips from downtrend to uptrend. This turns the RSI trend regime into a hard invalidation rule: once the underlying momentum structure reverses, the position is exited. With “Extension” selected for stop loss, long positions are closed when RSI falls back below the upper band and moves towards the opposite side of the range, while short positions are closed when RSI rises above the lower band and moves towards the upper side. In practice, this acts as a dynamic exit based on the oscillator moving out of a favourable context for the existing trade. Selecting “None” for stop loss disables these automatic exits, leaving only the take profit logic, if any, to manage the position. Because take profit and stop loss configuration are independent, the user can construct different profiles, such as pure trend-change exits on both sides, pure overextension exits, or a mix (for example, take profit on overextension and stop loss on trend reversal).
This strategy is designed as an analytical and backtesting framework rather than a finished plug-and-play trading system. It does not include position sizing, risk-per-trade controls, multi-timeframe confirmation, volatility filters or instrument-specific fine-tuning. Its primary purpose is to provide a clear, rule-based structure for testing retracement logic within RSI-defined trends, and to allow users to explore how different exit regimes (trend-change based versus extension based) affect performance on their instruments and timeframes of interest.
Nothing in this script or its description should be interpreted as financial advice, investment recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Past performance on backtests does not guarantee future results. The behaviour of this strategy can vary significantly across symbols, timeframes and market conditions, and correlations, volatility and liquidity can change without warning. Before considering any live application, users should thoroughly backtest and forward test the strategy on their own data, adjust parameters to their risk profile and instrument characteristics, and integrate proper money management and trade management rules. Use of this script is entirely at the user’s own risk.
WaveTrend Oscillator [WT] — LazyBear Modified by PickMyTradeThis strategy is built upon the well-known “WaveTrend Oscillator ” indicator originally published by LazyBear. The WaveTrend is widely used across markets for spotting momentum reversals, especially when the oscillator crosses the signal line within overbought and oversold zones.
The PickMyTrade team has converted this classic indicator into a fully automated, risk-managed trading strategy designed to maintain consistent performance with controlled drawdown. It includes additional trend and momentum filters, along with a complete capital protection framework aimed at meeting the strict requirements of prop firm evaluations.
This version focuses heavily on profit factor stability, drawdown reduction, and risk management, making it suitable for traders who must operate within strict rules.
What Makes This Version Different?
LazyBear’s original WaveTrend indicator provides excellent reversal detection, but this strategy expands it significantly by adding:
1. Risk-Management System Designed for Prop Firm Rules
Maximum equity drawdown limit
Daily loss limit
Automatic “stop trading” mode when limits are reached
Optional position size reduction as drawdown increases
These protections help keep the account within typical challenge requirements such as 5–10% max drawdown.
2. ATR-Based Stop Loss and Risk-to-Reward Targeting
Adaptive volatility-based stop losses
Configurable R:R take-profit targets
Position sizing based on percent of equity or fixed contracts
Ensures consistent risk exposure across all market types.
3. Improved WaveTrend Logic
While the original WT uses simple crossovers, this strategy adds several filters:
Histogram momentum direction (WT1 – WT2)
RSI momentum confirmation
ADX trend-strength filter
Optional overbought/oversold only mode (classic WT behavior)
These help reduce false reversals and improve the signal quality in choppy environments.
4. Multi-Market & Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
The strategy performs reliably on:
Stocks
Crypto
Forex
Indices
Futures
It works on both short-term charts (15m) and higher timeframes (1H, 4H).
Higher timeframes tend to show lower drawdown and higher profit factors.
5. No Repainting
All logic is based strictly on closed candles.
The strategy does not repaint past signals.
How It Works
WaveTrend Core Logic
WT1 = EMA-smoothed channel deviation
WT2 = smoothed signal of WT1
Main signals come from crossovers of WT1 and WT2
Optimal conditions occur below oversold or above overbought zones
Entry Conditions
Long Entry
WT1 crosses above WT2
Histogram momentum positive
RSI supports upward momentum
ADX confirms trend strength (optional)
Optional: WT1 below oversold threshold
Short Entry
WT1 crosses below WT2
Histogram momentum negative
RSI supports downward momentum
ADX confirms trend strength (optional)
Optional: WT1 above overbought threshold
Exit Conditions
Opposite WaveTrend signal
ATR stop loss hit
Take profit target hit
Optional: trend strength on ADX weakens
Optional: momentum reversal detected
Risk-Management System
Developed specifically with prop-firm challenge rules in mind.
Equity Protection
Max equity drawdown limit (e.g., 10–15%)
Daily loss limit (e.g., 3–5%)
Full suspension of trading once limits are hit
Sizing Controls
Position size shrinks automatically as drawdown increases
Minimum size multiplier to maintain controlled exposure
Prevents overleveraging during account recovery cycles
Stop Loss & Take Profit
ATR-based dynamic stop loss
Configurable percentage stop loss
Configurable take profit with desired R:R ratio

BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal StrategyBTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal Strategy is a price-action based reversal system that turns your existing “Bullet-Proof Reversal Detector” into a fully backtestable TradingView strategy with built-in risk management. It is designed to catch clean swing reversals using pure market structure, then automatically place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on your preferred risk-reward settings.
## Core concept
The strategy identifies true swing highs and lows using pivots and then waits for a clear market structure shift before entering any trade. It looks for a higher low followed by a break of structure for longs, and a lower high followed by a break of structure for shorts, helping filter out many random spikes and fakeouts. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer clean, rule-based entries grounded in market structure rather than noisy, indicator-heavy setups.
## Entries and exits
- Long trades are triggered after a bullish higher-low plus a confirmed break above the last swing high.
- Short trades are triggered after a bearish lower-high plus a confirmed break below the last swing low.
- Every position is protected with an automatic stop-loss and a calculated take-profit, so each trade has a predefined risk and reward from the moment it is opened.
## Risk management
The strategy lets you control your risk with a configurable risk-reward ratio (RR) and flexible stop-loss options. You can choose between an ATR-based stop (ATR × multiplier) or a fixed percentage stop relative to the entry price. Once the stop distance is known, the take-profit level is automatically derived from your RR value, making trade sizing and evaluation more consistent across different pairs and timeframes.
## Use cases and recommendations
This script is ideal for swing and intraday traders who want to systematically test market-structure reversals on assets like Bitcoin or other volatile instruments. For best results, experiment with different timeframes and ATR/percentage settings, and always validate performance using the Strategy Tester before deploying it on live markets. Remember that no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, so use proper risk management and adapt settings to your own style and risk tolerance.

Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.

Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.

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