Qullamagi EMA Breakout Autotrade (Crypto Futures L+S)Title: Qullamagi EMA Breakout โ Crypto Autotrade
Overview
A crypto-focused, Qullamagi-style EMA breakout strategy built for autotrading on futures and perpetual swaps.
It combines a 5-MA trend stack (EMA 10/20, SMA 50/100/200), volatility contraction boxes, volume spikes and an optional higher-timeframe 200-MA filter. The script supports both long and short trades, partial take profit, trailing MA exits and percent-of-equity position sizing for automated crypto futures trading.
Key Features (Crypto)
Qullamagi MA Breakout Engine โ trades only when price is aligned with a strong EMA/SMA trend and breaks out of a tight consolidation range. Longs use: Close > EMA10 > EMA20 > SMA50 > SMA100 > SMA200. Shorts are the mirror condition with all MAs sloping in the trend direction.
Strict vs Loose Modes โ Strict (Daily) is designed for cleaner swing trades on 1Hโ4H (full MA stack, box+ATR and volume filters, optional HTF filter). Loose (Intraday) focuses on 10/20/50 alignment with relaxed filters for more frequent 15mโ30m signals.
Volatility & Volume Filters for Crypto โ ATR-based box height limit to detect volatility contraction, wide-candle filter to avoid chasing exhausted breakouts, and a volume spike condition requiring current volume to exceed an SMA of volume.
Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional) โ uses a 200-period SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 1D). Longs only when HTF close is above the HTF 200-SMA, shorts only when it is below, helping avoid trading against dominant crypto trends.
Autotrade-Oriented Trade Management โ position size as % of equity, initial stop anchored to a chosen MA (EMA10 / EMA20 / SMA50) with optional buffer, partial take profit at a configurable R-multiple, trailing MA exit for the remainder, and an optional cooldown after a full exit.
Markets & Timeframes
Best suited for BTC, ETH and major altcoin futures/perpetuals (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.).
Strict preset: 1Hโ4H charts for classic Qullamagi-style trend structure and fewer fake breakouts.
Loose preset: 15mโ30m charts for higher trade frequency and more active intraday trading.
Always retune ATR length, box length, volume multiplier and position size for each symbol and exchange.
Strategy Logic (Quick Summary)
Long (Strict): MA stack in bullish alignment with all MAs sloping up โ tight volatility box (ATR-based) โ volume spike above SMA(volume) ร multiplier โ breakout above box high (close or intrabar) โ optional HTF close above 200-SMA.
Short: Mirror logic: bearish MA stack, tight box, volume spike and breakdown below box low with optional HTF downtrend.
Best Practices for Crypto
Backtest on each symbol and timeframe you plan to autotrade, including commissions and slippage.
Start on higher timeframes (1H/4H) to learn the behavior, then move to 15mโ30m if you want more signals.
Use the higher-timeframe filter when markets are strongly trending to reduce counter-trend trades.
Keep position-size percentage conservative until you fully understand the drawdowns.
Forward-test / paper trade before connecting to live futures accounts.
Webhook / Autotrade Integration
Designed to work with TradingView webhooks and external crypto trading bots.
Alert messages include structured fields such as: EVENT=ENTRY / SCALE_OUT / EXIT, SIDE=LONG / SHORT, STRATEGY=Qullamagi_MA.
Map each EVENT + SIDE combination to your bot logic (open long/short, partial close, full close, etc.) on your preferred exchange.
Important Notes & Disclaimer
Crypto markets are highly volatile and can change regime quickly. Backtest and forward-test thoroughly before using real capital. Higher timeframes generally produce cleaner MA structures and fewer fake breakouts.
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading leveraged crypto products involves substantial risk of loss. Always do your own research, manage risk carefully, and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
โข (Liquidity Sweep)
โข (Buyer or seller dominance)
โข (Stop hunt)
โข (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
โข Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
โข Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
โข Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
โข Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
โข Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
โข Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
โข Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
โข Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
โข Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
โข Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
โข Previous Week High & Low
โข Previous Day High & Low
โข Previous H4 High & Low
โข Previous H1 High & Low
โข Asia Killzone High & Low
โข London Killzone High & Low
โข New York Killzone High & Low
โข Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
โข Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
โข Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
โข Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
โข All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
โข For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
โข FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
โข Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
โข The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
โข VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
โข Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
โข To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
โข The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
โข The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
โข If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
โข The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
โข Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
โข Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
โข Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
โข Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
โข Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
โข Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
โข Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
โข Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
โข Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
โข Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
โข Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
โข Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
VWAP Diario + VWAP 08:00-12:00 ventanas NYWhat it plots
Daily VWAP (main line)
Anchored to the current trading day and only visible between 19:00 and 16:50 New York (UTC-5) to prevent any โghostโ segments.
Dynamic color: turns green when price closes above (bullish bias) and red when price closes below (bearish bias).
Optional standard-deviation/percentage bands (off by default).
08:00โ12:00 VWAP (morning line)
Resets at 08:00 NY and shows until 12:00 NY only.
Acts as a morning value guide for early direction and pullbacks.
Clean rendering: Both lines use strict time masks and line breaks, so nothing is drawn outside their windows. You can toggle either line on/off.
How to Read It
Daily VWAP โ โfair valueโ of the whole session; use it for directional bias and confluence.
08:00โ12:00 VWAP โ โfair valueโ of the morning; helps refine entries during the open.
Alignment:
Bullish environment: price and 08โ12 VWAP sit above the Daily VWAP.
Rotation/mixed: price oscillates between the two lines.
Bearish: price and 08โ12 VWAP sit below the Daily VWAP.
Two Mechanical Playbooks
Recommended charts: 1-minute for entries, 5-minute for context on NQ/Nasdaq100.
Primary execution window: 09:30โ12:00 NY.
A) Trend Play (Break โ Pullback to VWAP)
Goal: Join the dayโs impulse with value confirmation.
Rules
Bias filter before 09:30
Bullish: 08โ12 VWAP โฅ Daily VWAP; Bearish: 08โ12 โค Daily.
First push 09:30โ09:45 breaks the initial range high (bull) or low (bear).
Entry (pullback into confluence)
Wait for a pullback that tags/wicks the 08โ12 VWAP or the Daily VWAP in the direction of bias.
Go long on bullish rejection (close back above); short on bearish rejection.
Stop-loss
Beyond the rejection wick or the touched VWAP (e.g., 1โ1.5ร ATR(1m/5m)).
Take-profit
TP1 = 1R (scale 50%); TP2 = 2โ3R or day extremes (HOD/LOD).
If bands are on, consider exiting on a clean tag of the opposite band.
Management
Move to breakeven at 1R; exit early if price reclaims the opposite side of Daily VWAP.
Avoid when the morning is choppy and price sits glued between the two VWAPs.
B) Mean-Reversion Play (Controlled Reversal at Daily VWAP)
Goal: Capture a return to value after an overstretch and a clean rejection.
Rules
Stretch condition
Fast move away from Daily VWAP (3โ5 bars) or beyond Band #1/#2 if enabled.
Rejection signal at Daily VWAP
A bar that touches Daily VWAP and closes back on the opposite side (pin/engulfing/strong close).
Entry
Long if a selloff rejects above Daily VWAP.
Short if a rally rejects below Daily VWAP.
Stop-loss
Just beyond the rejection wick or ~1ร ATR(1m).
Take-profit
TP1 = 1R or the 08โ12 VWAP; TP2 = 2โ3R or a prior consolidation.
Management
If price crosses and holds on the other side of Daily VWAP (2 closes), cut the idea.
Avoid during high-impact news or when the session is strongly trending (prefer Play A).
Quality Filters
Volatility: Ensure ATR(14, 1m) or the 09:30โ09:45 range exceeds your minimum.
Spread/liquidity: Skip abnormal spreads at the open.
News: If a red-level release is imminent, wait 2โ3 bars after the print.
Coherence: Prefer trades when 08โ12 and Daily VWAP donโt conflict.
Risk & Trade Management
Risk per trade: 0.25%โ0.5% account risk.
Daily cap: 2โ3 trades; stop for the day at โ1R to โ1.5R.
No over-reentry: Donโt chase if price is sitting exactly on a VWAP; wait for separation.
Log your metrics: setup type (A/B), confluences, distance to VWAP at trigger, time, R multiple.
Quick Pre-Trade Checklist
Bias aligned? (price vs Daily and 08โ12 VWAP)
Choose Trend or Mean-Reversion play
Clear confluence at the VWAP line?
Realistic stop (โค ~1.5ร ATR 1m)?
Any imminent news?
TP plan: TP1 = 1R โ BE, TP2 = 2โ3R.

Confirmed Momentum QQQ (RSI/MACD Filter)Gemini and Myself,
How This Targets a Higher Win Rate
The key to the win rate increase is the RSI 20/80 filter.
Long Signal: A long entry is now only taken if the trend is up (SMA cross), the MACD is bullish, and the RSI is not overbought (below 80). By only entering when momentum is not yet exhausted, you increase the chance that the price can travel far enough to hit your 4.0 point Take Profit.
Wider SL: The wider Stop Loss of 2.5 points reduces the chance of being stopped out prematurely by routine market movements (whipsaws), which is the number one killer of win rates in high-frequency trading.
After applying these changes, you will need to run the Strategy Tester again to see the new win rate and the new total number of trades.
Would you like me to help you interpret the new Strategy Tester results once you apply these settings?

โข Signals are NOT repainting after pivot confirmation
โข Not a "holy grail" - combine with other analysis and proper risk management
โข Requires patience - quality setups are infrequent but high-probability
โข Always backtest on historical data before live trading
ELLIOTT WAVE THEORY BACKGROUND
------------------------------
Elliott Wave Theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, proposes that market prices move in predictable wave patterns driven by investor psychology. An impulse wave consists of five sub-waves (three in the trend direction, two corrections), followed by a three-wave correction. This indicator automates the identification of these patterns and validates them against Elliott's original rules.

Average Price Calculator / VisualizerDCA Average Price Calculator - Visualize Your Breakeven & TP!
Ever wished you could visualize your trades and instantly see your average entry price right here on TradingView? Especially if you're a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) trader like me, tracking multiple entries can be a hassle. You're constantly switching to a spreadsheet or calculator to figure out your breakeven and take-profit levels. Well I've developed this DCA Average Price Calculator to solve exactly that problem, bringing all your position planning directly onto your chart.
What It Does
This indicator is a interactive tool designed to calculate the weighted average price of up to 10 separate trade entries. It then plots your crucial breakeven (average price) and a customizable take-profit target directly on your chart, giving you a clear visual of your position.
Key Features
Up to 10 Order Entries: Plan complex DCA strategies with support for up to ten individual buys.
Flexible Size Input: Enter your position size in either USD Amount or Number of Shares/Contracts. The script is smart enough to know which one you're using.
Instant Average Price Calculation: Your weighted average price (your breakeven point) is calculated and plotted in real-time as a clean yellow line.
Customizable Take-Profit Target: Set your desired profit percentage and see your take-profit level instantly plotted as a green line.
Detailed On-Chart Labels: Each order you plot is marked with a detailed label showing the entry price, the number of shares purchased, and the total USD value of that entry.
Clean & Uncluttered UI: The main Average and TP labels are intelligently shifted to the right, ensuring they don't overlap with your entry markers, keeping your chart readable.
How to Use It - Simple Steps
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the script's 'Settings' menu.
In the 'Take Profit' section, set your desired profit percentage (e.g., 1 for 1%).
Under the 'Orders' section, begin filling in your entries. For each 'Order #', enter the Price.
Next, enter the size. You can either fill in the 'Size (USD)' box OR the '/ Shares' box. Leave the one you're not using at 0.
As you add orders, the 'Avg' (yellow) and 'TP' (green) lines, along with the blue order labels, will automatically appear and adjust on your chart!
Who Is This For?
DCA Traders: This is the ultimate tool for you!
Position Traders: Keep track of scaling into a larger position over time.
Manual Backtesters: Quickly simulate and visualize how a series of buys would have played out.
Any Trader who wants a quick and easy way to calculate their average entry without leaving TradingView.
I built this tool to improve my own trading workflow, and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. If you find it useful, please consider giving it a 'Like' and feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions in the comments!

BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
โข Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
โข Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
โข Default demo. SPY on daily
โข Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
โข Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
โข Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
โข Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
โข Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
โข Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
โข Return basis. Not required
Components
โข Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
โข Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
โข ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
โข Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
โข Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
โข Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
โข Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
โข Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
โข Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
โข While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
โข IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
โข Markers for Long and Short setups
โข Exit markers from ATR or time rules
โข Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
โข Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
โข Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
โข Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
โข BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
โข BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
โข EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
โข EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
โข ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
โข Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
โข Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
โข Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
โข ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
โข ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
โข ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
โข Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
โข Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
โข Bias flips kept. Array depth
โข Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
โข Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots)ATR SL/TP Precision Zones (Dots) is a volatility-based tool designed to help traders set accurate Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on real market volatility โ not fixed pips or emotion.
This indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by 1.2 to calculate dynamic distance bands.
Instead of drawing a ribbon or channel, it places simple dots above and below each candle:
Upper Dot (Green) โ Suggested Take Profit / Price Stretch Zone
Lower Dot (Red) โ Suggested Stop Loss Cushion / Support Expansion Zone
Because ATR measures market volatility, these dots expand during high volatility and tighten during slow markets, helping traders avoid stop-loss hunts and premature exits.
Why This Works
Most traders lose because:
They set SL too close โ stopped out by noise
They set TP too far โ price never reaches it
This tool calibrates those distances automatically based on real price movement behavior.
ATR = volatility
Volatility = market breathing room
This indicator ensures your trade has room to breathe, increasing win consistency.
Best Use Cases
Scalping
Swing trading
Trend continuation entries
Reversal confirmations with support/resistance
Works on Crypto / Forex / Stocks / Futures
PSAR with ATR Trailing Stop + SMA Filter๐ Strategy Overview: PSAR + 6รATR Trailing Stop with SMA Filter
This strategy is built around the principle of โCut the losers, let the winners runโ โ a disciplined, trend-following approach that combines the Parabolic SAR indicator with dynamic risk management and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter.
๐ Strategy Logic
Trend Filter Trades are only taken in the direction of the prevailing trend, defined by a user-selected SMA (default: 100).
โ
Long trades only when price is above the SMA
โ
Short trades only when price is below the SMA
Entry Signal: A trade is triggered when the Parabolic SAR flips to the opposite side of the price bars, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is dynamically set at 6รATR from the entry price. This adapts to market volatility and is recalculated every bar โ effectively acting as a trailing stop.
Exit Logic: There is no fixed take profit. The trade remains open until the trailing stop is hit โ allowing winners to run and losers to be cut quickly.
Risk Management: Each trade risks 0.5% of total equity, ensuring consistent position sizing and capital preservation.
๐ Visual Elements
PSAR dots mark trend direction changes
SMA line shows the broader trend filter
Trailing stop crosses (with 50% opacity) indicate the current stop level without cluttering the chart
โ๏ธ Customizable Inputs
PSAR parameters: Start, Increment, Maximum

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1รATR, TP = 2รATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensibleโboth for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
โข Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
โข Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
โข Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
โข Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
โข Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
โข Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
โข Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
โข Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
โข Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
โข Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
โข VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
โข Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
โข Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
โข Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
โข Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
โข Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
โข Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
โข Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
โข Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
โข Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
โข Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
โข VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
โข VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
โข Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
โข Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
โข Base currency USD
โข request.security uses lookahead off
โข Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
โข Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
โข Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
โข Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
โข Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
โข Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

ADX Color Change by BehemothI find this tool to be the most valuable and accurate entry point indicator along with moving averages and the VWAP.
ADX Color Indicator - Controls & Intraday Trading Benefits
Indicator Controls:
1. ADX Length (default: 14)
- Controls the calculation period for ADX
- Lower values (7-10) = more sensitive, faster signals (better for scalping)
- Higher values (14-20) = smoother, fewer false signals (better for swing trades)
- *Intraday tip:* Try 10-14 for most intraday timeframes
2. Show Threshold Levels (default: On)
- Displays the 20 and 25 horizontal lines
- Helps you quickly identify when ADX crosses key strength levels
3. Use Custom Timeframe (default: Off)
- Allows viewing higher timeframe ADX on lower timeframe charts
- *Example:* Trade on 5-min chart but see 15-min or 1-hour ADX
4. Custom Timeframe
- Select any timeframe: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, D, etc.
- *Intraday tip:* Use 15m or 1H ADX on 5m charts for better trend context
5. Show +DI and -DI (default: Off)
- Shows directional movement indicators
- Green line (+DI) > Red line (-DI) = bullish trend
- Red line (-DI) > Green line (+DI) = bearish trend
6. Show Background Zon es (default: Off)
- Visual background colors for quick trend strength identification
- Green = strong trend (ADX > 25)
- Yellow = moderate trend (ADX 20-25)
Intraday Trading Benefits:
1. Avoid Choppy Markets
- When ADX < 20 (no background color), market is ranging
- Reduces false breakout trades and whipsaws
- Save time and capital by stepping aside during low-quality setups
2. Identify High-Probability Trend Trades
- **Green line + Green zone** = strong trend building, look for pullback entries
- Yellow line crossing above 20 = early trend formation signal
- Catch trends early when ADX starts rising from below 20
3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
- Use custom timeframe to align with higher timeframe trends
- *Example:* If 1H ADX shows green (strong trend), take breakout trades on 5m chart in same direction
- Increases win rate by trading with the bigger picture
4. Exit Signals
- When ADX turns red (falling), trend is weakening
- Consider tightening stops or taking profits
- Avoid entering new positions when ADX is declining
5. Quick Visual Confirmation
- Color coding eliminates need to analyze numbers
- Instant recognition: Green = go, Yellow = caution, Red = trend dying
- Faster decision-making during fast market moves
6. Scalping Strategy
- Set ADX length to 7-10 for sensitive signals
- Only scalp when ADX is rising (blue, yellow, or green)
- Exit when ADX turns red
7. Breakout Confirmation
- Wait for ADX to rise above 20 after a breakout
- Filters false breakouts in ranging markets
- Yellow or green color confirms momentum behind the move
Optimal Intraday Settings:
- Day Trading (5-15 min charts):** ADX Length = 10-14
- Scalping (1-5 min charts):** ADX Length = 7-10, watch custom 15m timeframe
- Swing Intraday (30min-1H charts):** ADX Length = 14-20
Simple Trading Rules:
โ
Trade: ADX rising + above 20 (yellow or green)
โ ๏ธ Caution: ADX flat or just crossed 20
โ Avoid:*ADX falling (red) or below 20
The key advantage is staying out of low-quality, choppy price action which is where most intraday traders lose money!
Enhanced MA Crossover Pro๐ Strategy Summary: Enhanced MA Crossover Pro
This strategy is an advanced, highly configurable moving average (MA) crossover system designed for algorithmic trading. It uses the crossover of two customizable MAs (a "Fast" MA 1 and a "Slow" MA 2) as its core entry signal, but aggressively integrates multiple technical filters, time controls, and dynamic position management to create a robust and comprehensive trading system.
๐ก Core Logic
Entry Signal: A bullish crossover (MA1 > MA2) generates a Long signal, and a bearish crossover (MA1 < MA2) generates a Short signal. Users can opt to use MA crossovers from a Higher Timeframe (HTF) for the entry signal.
Confirmation/Filters: The basic MA cross signal is filtered by several optional indicators (see Filters section below) to ensure trades align with a broader trend or momentum context.
Position Management: Trades are managed with a sophisticated system of Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stops, and Breakeven stops that can be fixed, ATR-based, or dynamically adjusted.
Risk Management: Daily limits are enforced for maximum profit/loss and maximum trades per day.
โ๏ธ Key Features and Customization
1. Moving Averages
Primary MAs (MA1 & MA2): Highly configurable lengths (default 8 & 20) and types: EMA, WMA, SMA, or SMMA/RMA.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) MAs: Optional MAs calculated on a user-defined resolution (e.g., "60" for 1-hour) for use as an entry signal or as a trend confirmation filter.
2. Multi-Filter System
The entry signal can be filtered by the following optional conditions:
SMA Filter: Price must be above a 200-period SMA for long trades, and below it for short trades.
VWAP Filter: Price must be above VWAP for long trades, and below it for short trades.
RSI Filter: Long trades are blocked if RSI is overbought (default 70); short trades are blocked if RSI is oversold (default 30).
MACD Filter: Requires the MACD Line to be above the Signal Line for long trades (and vice versa for short trades).
HTF Confirmation: Requires the HTF MA1 to be above HTF MA2 for long entries (and vice versa).
3. Dynamic Stop and Target Management (S/L & T/P)
The strategy provides extensive control over exits:
Stop Loss Methods:
Fixed: Fixed tick amount.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR stop limited by a maximum fixed tick amount.
Exit on Close Cross MA: Position is closed if the price crosses back over the chosen MA (MA1 or MA2).
Breakeven Stop: A stop can be moved to the entry price once a trigger distance (fixed ticks or Adaptive Breakeven based on ATR%) is reached.
Trailing Stop: Can be fixed or ATR-based, with an optional feature to auto-tighten the trailing multiplier after the breakeven condition is met.
Profit Target: Can be a fixed tick amount or a dynamic target based on an ATR multiplier.
4. Time and Session Control
Trading Session: Trades are only taken between defined Start/End Hours and Minutes (e.g., 9:30 to 16:00).
Forced Close: All open positions are closed near the end of the session (e.g., 15:45).
Trading Days: Allows specific days of the week to be enabled or disabled for trading.
5. Risk and Position Limits
Daily Profit/Loss Limits: The strategy tracks daily realized and unrealized PnL in ticks and will close all positions and block new entries if the user-defined maximum profit or maximum loss is hit.
Max Trades Per Day: Limits the number of executed trades in a single day.
๐จ Outputs and Alerts
Plots: Plots the MA1, MA2, SMA, VWAP, and HTF MAs (if enabled) on the chart.
Shapes: Plots visual markers (BUY/SELL labels) on the bar where the MA crossover occurs.
Trailing Stop: Plots the dynamic trailing stop level when a position is open.
Alerts: Generates JSON-formatted alerts for entry ({"action":"buy", "price":...}) and exit ({"action":"exit", "position":"long", "price":...}).
Central Limit Theorem Reversion IndicatorDear TV community, let me introduce you to the first-ever Central Limit Theorem indicator on TradingView.
The Central Limit Theorem is used in statistics and it can be quite useful in quant trading and understanding market behaviors.
In short, the CLT states: "When you take repeated samples from any population and calculate their averages, those averages will form a normal (bell curve) distributionโno matter what the original data looks like."
In this CLT indicator, I use statistical theory to identify high-probability mean reversion opportunities in the markets. It calculates statistical confidence bands and z-scores to identify when price movements deviate significantly from their expected distribution, signaling potential reversion opportunities with quantifiable probability levels.
Mathematical Foundation
The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) says that when you average many data points together, those averages will form a predictable bell-curve pattern, even if the original data is completely random and unpredictable (which often is in the markets). This works no matter what you're measuring, and it gets more reliable as you use more data points.
Why using it for trading?
Individual price movements seem random and chaotic, but when we look at the average of many price movements, we can actually predict how they should behave statistically. This lets us spot when prices have moved "too far" from what's normalโand those extreme moves tend to snap back (mean reversion).
Key Formula:
Z = (Xฬ - ฮผ) / (ฯ / โn)
Where:
- Xฬ = Sample mean (average return over n periods)
- ฮผ = Population mean (long-term expected return)
- ฯ = Population standard deviation (volatility)
- n = Sample size
- ฯ/โn = Standard error of the mean
How I Apply CLT
Step 1: Calculate Returns
Measures how much price changed from one bar to the next (using logarithms for better statistical properties)
Step 2: Average Recent Returns
Takes the average of the last n returns (e.g., last 100 bars). This is your "sample mean."
Step 3: Find What's "Normal"
Looks at historical data to determine: a) What the typical average return should be (the long-term mean) and b) How volatile the market usually is (standard deviation)
Step 4: Calculate Standard Error
Determines how much sample averages naturally vary. Larger samples = smaller expected variation.
Step 5: Calculate Z-Score
Measures how unusual the current situation is.
Step 6: Draw Confidence Bands
Converts these statistical boundaries into actual price levels on your chart, showing where price is statistically expected to stay 95% and 99% of the time.
Interpretation & Usage
The Z-Score:
The z-score tells you how statistically unusual the current price deviation is:
|Z| < 1.0 โ Normal behavior, no action
|Z| = 1.0 to 1.96 โ Moderate deviation, watch closely
|Z| = 1.96 to 2.58 โ Significant deviation (95%+), consider entry
|Z| > 2.58 โ Extreme deviation (99%+), high probability setup
The Confidence Bands
- Upper Red Bands: 95% and 99% overbought zones โ Expect mean reversion downward as the price is not likely to cross these lines.
- Center Gray Line: Statistical expectation (fair value)
- Lower Blue Bands: 95% and 99% oversold zones โ Expect mean reversion upward
Trading Logic:
- When price exceeds the upper 95% band (z-score > +1.96), there's only a 5% probability this is random noise โ Strong sell/short signal
- When price falls below the lower 95% band (z-score < -1.96), there's a 95% statistical expectation of upward reversion โ Strong buy/long signal
Background Gradient
The background color provides real-time visual feedback:
- Blue shades: Oversold conditions, expect upward reversion
- Red shades: Overbought conditions, expect downward reversion
- Intensity: Darker colors indicate stronger statistical significance
Trading Strategy Examples
Hypothetically, this is how the indicator could be used:
- Long: Z-score < -1.96 (below 95% confidence band)
- Short: Z-score > +1.96 (above 95% confidence band)
- Take profit when price returns to center line (Z โ 0)
Input Parameters
Sample Size (n) - Default: 100
Lookback Period (m) - Default: 100
You can also create alerts based on the indicator.
Final notes:
- The indicator uses logarithmic returns for better statistical properties
- Converts statistical bands back to price space for practical use
- Adaptive volatility: Bands automatically widen in high volatility, narrow in low volatility
- No repainting: yay! All calculations use historical data only
Feedback is more than welcome!

Gold 15m: Trend + S/R + Liquidity Sweep (RR 1:2)This strategy is designed for short-term trading on XAUUSD (Gold) using the 15-minute timeframe. It combines trend direction, support/resistance pivots, liquidity sweep detection, and momentum confirmation to identify high-probability reversal setups in line with the dominant market trend.
โ๏ธ Core Logic:
Trend Filter (EMA 200):
The strategy only takes long positions when price is above the 200 EMA and short positions when price is below it.
Support/Resistance via Pivots:
Dynamic swing highs and lows are identified using pivot points. These act as local supply and demand levels where liquidity is likely to accumulate.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs when price briefly breaks below the last pivot low (grabbing liquidity) and then closes back above it.
A bearish sweep occurs when price breaks above the last pivot high and then closes back below.
Momentum & Candle Strength:
The strategy filters signals based on candle range and body size to ensure entries occur during strong price reactions, not weak retracements.
Risk Management (1:2 RR):
Stop-loss is placed slightly beyond the last pivot level using ATR-based buffers, and take-profit is set at 2ร the risk distance, maintaining a reward-to-risk ratio of 1:2.
๐ผ Trade Logic Summary:
Long Entry:
After a bullish liquidity sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (above EMA 200).
Short Entry:
After a bearish sweep & reclaim, momentum confirmation, and trend alignment (below EMA 200).
Exit:
Automated via ATR-based Stop Loss and Take Profit targets.
๐ Customization Options:
Adjustable EMA length, pivot settings, ATR multipliers, and RR ratio.
Option to enable/disable trend filter.
Toggle display of S/R zones on chart.
๐ง Best Use:
Works best during London and New York sessions when Gold shows strong momentum.
Can be adapted for forex pairs and indices by tuning ATR and pivot parameters.
London Breakout Structure by Ale 2This indicator identifies market structure breakouts (CHOCH/BOS) within a specific London session window, highlighting potential breakout trades with automatic entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP) levels.
It helps traders focus on high-probability breakouts when volatility increases after the Asian session, using price structure, ATR-based volatility filters, and a custom risk/reward setup.
๐น Example of Strategy Application
Define your session (e.g. 04:00 to 05:00).
Wait for a CHOCH (Change of Character) inside this session.
If a bullish CHOCH occurs โ go LONG at candle close.
If a bearish CHOCH occurs โ go SHORT at candle close.
SL is set below/above the previous swing using ATR ร multiplier.
TP is calculated automatically based on your R:R ratio.
๐ Example:
When price breaks above the last swing high within the session, a โBUYโ label appears and the indicator draws Entry, SL, and TP levels automatically.
If the breakout fails and price closes below the opposite structure, a โSELLโ signal will replace the bullish setup.
๐น Details
The logic is based on structural shifts (CHOCH/BOS):
A CHOCH occurs when price breaks and closes beyond the most recent high/low.
The indicator dynamically detects these shifts in structure, validating them only inside your chosen time window (e.g. the London Open).
The ATR filter ensures setups are valid only when the range has enough volatility, avoiding false signals in low-volume hours.
You can also visualize:
The session area (purple background)
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels
Direction labels (BUY/SELL)
ATR line for volatility context
๐น Configuration
Start / End Hour: define your preferred trading window.
ATR Length & Multiplier: adjust for volatility.
Risk/Reward Ratio: set your desired R:R (default 1:2).
Minimum Range Filter: avoids signals with tight SLs.
Alerts: receive notifications when breakout conditions occur.
๐น Recommendations
Works best on 15m or 5m charts during London session.
Designed for breakout and structure-based traders.
Works on Forex, Crypto, and Indices.
Ideal as a visual and educational tool for understanding BOS/CHOCH behavior.
VWAP & Band Cross Strategy v6 - AdvancedThese are a few updates made to the original script. The daily take profit and stop loss functions correctly for 1 contract but because of the pyramiding input even if not used you'll need to multiply the values by the number of contracts to keep consistent results. I have been unable to correct that function. Let me know if you test the script and have any recommendations for improvement. If trading an actual account I do recommend setting hard daily limits with your provider because there is still slippage from the original exit alerts even with the daily stop loss in place.
1. Real-Time Execution & Hard PnL Limits (The Focus)
The most critical changes were implemented to ensure the daily profit and loss limits act as hard, real-time barriers instead of waiting for the candle to close.
โข Intrabar Tick Execution: The parameter calc_on_every_tick=true was added to the strategy() declaration. This forces the entire script to re-evaluate its logic on every single price update (tick), enabling immediate action.
โข Real-Time PnL Tracking: The PnL calculation was updated to track the total_daily_pnl by summing the realized profit/loss (from closed trades) and the unrealized profit/loss (strategy.openprofit) on every tick.
โข Immediate Closure: The script now checks the total_daily_pnl against the user-defined limits (daily_take_profit_value, daily_stop_loss_value) and immediately executes strategy.close_all() the moment the threshold is breached, preventing further trading.
โข Combined Risk Enforcement: The user-defined "Max Intraday Risk ($)" and the "Daily Stop Loss (Value)" are compared, and the script enforces the tighter of the two limits.
2. Visibility and External Alerting
To address the unavoidable issue of slippage (which causes price overshoot in fast markets even with tick execution), dedicated alert mechanisms were added.
โข Dedicated Alert Condition: An alertcondition named DAILY PNL LIMIT REACHED was added. This allows you to set up a TradingView alert that triggers the instant the daily_limit_reached variable turns true, giving you the fastest possible notification.
โข Visual Marker: A large red triangle (\u25b2) is plotted on the chart using plotchar at the exact moment the daily limit condition is met, providing a clear visual confirmation of the trigger bar.
3. Strategy Features and Input Flexibility
Several user-requested features were integrated to make the strategy more robust and customizable.
โข Trailing Stop / Breakeven (TSL/BE): A new exit option, Fixed Ticks + TSL, was added, allowing you to set a fixed profit target while also deploying a trailing stop or breakeven level based on points/ticks gained.
โข Multiple Exit Types: The exit strategy was expanded to include logic for several types: Fixed Ticks, ATR-based, Capped ATR-based, VWAP Cross, and Price/Band Crosses.
โข Pyramiding Control: An input Max Pyramiding Entries was introduced to control how many positions the strategy can have open at the same time.
โข Confirmation Logic Toggle: Added an input to choose how multiple confirmation indicators (RSI, SMMA, MACD) are combined: "AND" (all must be true) or "OR" (at least one must be true).
โข Indicator Confirmations: Logic for three external indicatorsโRSI, SMMA (EMA), and MACDโwas fully integrated to act as optional filters for entry.
โข VWAP Reset Anchors: Logic was corrected to properly reset the VWAP calculation based on the selected period ("Daily", "Weekly", or "Session") by using Pine Script v6's required anchor series.
Trading Day Filters: Inputs were added to select which specific days of the week the strategy is allowed to trade.

HOW IT WORKS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS CONCEPT:
Psychological levels are round numbers where traders tend to place orders, creating natural support and resistance zones. These include:
- Forex: 1.0000, 1.0100, 1.0050 (pips)
- Crypto: $100, $1,000, $10,000 (whole numbers)
- Indices: 10,000, 10,500, 11,000 (points)
Why They Matter:
- Traders naturally gravitate to round numbers
- Stop losses cluster at these levels
- Take profit orders concentrate here
- Institutional algorithmic trading often targets these levels
DYNAMIC ATR-BASED SPACING:
Traditional Method:
- Fixed spacing regardless of volatility
- May be too tight in volatile markets
- May be too wide in quiet markets
Dynamic Method (Recommended):
- Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility
- Automatically adjusts level spacing
- Tighter levels in low volatility
- Wider levels in high volatility
Calculation:
1. Calculate ATR over specified period (default: 14)
2. Multiply by ATR multiplier (default: 2.0)
3. Round to nearest psychological level
4. Generate levels at dynamic intervals
Benefits:
- Adapts to market conditions
- More relevant levels in all volatility regimes
- Reduces clutter in trending markets
- Provides more detail in ranging markets
LEVEL TYPES:
Major Levels (250 pip/point):
- Highest significance
- Primary support/resistance zones
- Color: Red (default)
- Style: Solid lines
- Spacing: 2.5x standard step
Standard Levels (100 pip/point):
- Secondary importance
- Common psychological barriers
- Color: Blue (default)
- Style: Dashed lines
- Spacing: Standard step
Mid Levels (50% between major):
- Optional intermediate levels
- Halfway between major levels
- Color: Gray (default)
- Style: Dotted lines
- Usage: Additional confluence points
Intraday Levels (sub-100 pip):
- For intraday traders
- Fine-grained precision
- Color: Yellow (default)
- Style: Dotted lines
- Only shown on intraday timeframes
SMART ASSET DETECTION:
Forex Pairs:
- Detects major currency pairs automatically
- Uses pip-based calculations
- Standard: 100 pips (0.0100)
- Major: 250 pips (0.0250)
- Intraday: 20, 50, 80 pip subdivisions
Cryptocurrencies:
- Automatic price magnitude detection
- Adaptive spacing based on price:
* Under $0.10: Levels at $0.01, $0.05
* $0.10-$1: Levels at $0.10, $0.50
* $1-$10: Levels at $1, $5
* $10-$100: Levels at $10, $50
* $100-$1,000: Levels at $100, $500
* $1,000-$10,000: Levels at $1,000, $5,000
* Over $10,000: Levels at $5,000, $10,000
Indices & CFDs:
- Fixed point-based system
- Major: 500 point intervals (with 250 sub-levels)
- Standard: 100 point intervals
- Suitable for stock indices like SPX, NASDAQ
COMBINED LEVEL LABELS:
When multiple level types coincide at the same price:

INITIAL SETUP:
General Settings:
1. Enable "Use Dynamic ATR-Based Spacing" (recommended)
2. Set ATR Period (14 is standard)
3. Adjust ATR Multiplier (2.0 is balanced)
Visibility Settings:
1. Set Visible Range % (10% recommended for clarity)
2. Adjust Label Offset for readability
3. Configure performance limits if needed
Level Selection:
1. Enable/disable level types based on trading style
2. Adjust line counts for each type
3. Choose line styles and colors for visibility
TRADING STRATEGIES:
Breakout Trading:
1. Wait for price to approach major or standard level
2. Monitor for consolidation near level
3. Enter on confirmed break above/beyond level
4. Stop loss just beyond the broken level
5. Target: Next major or standard level
Rejection Trading:
1. Identify major psychological level
2. Wait for price to test the level
3. Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles)
4. Enter in direction of rejection
5. Stop beyond the level
6. Target: Previous level or mid-level
Range Trading:
1. Identify range between two major levels
2. Buy at lower psychological level
3. Sell at upper psychological level
4. Use standard and mid-levels for position management
5. Exit if major level breaks with volume
Confluence Trading:
1. Look for combined levels (Std + Major)
2. These represent high-probability zones
3. Use as primary support/resistance
4. Increase position size at confluence
5. Expect stronger reactions at these levels
Session-Based Trading:
1. Note opening level at session start (Asian/London/NY)
2. Trade breakouts of major levels during high-volume sessions
3. London/NY sessions: More likely to break levels
4. Asian session: More likely to respect levels (range trading)
RISK MANAGEMENT WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS:
Stop Loss Placement:
- Place stops just beyond psychological levels
- Add buffer (5-10 pips for forex)
- Avoid exact round numbers (stop hunting risk)
- Use previous major level as maximum stop
Take Profit Strategy:
- First target: Next standard level (partial profit)
- Second target: Next major level (remaining position)
- Trail stops to breakeven at first target
- Use distance table to calculate risk/reward
Position Sizing:
- Larger positions at major levels (higher probability)
- Smaller positions at intraday levels (lower probability)
- Scale in at standard levels between major levels
- Reduce size when multiple levels are close together
TIMEFRAME CONSIDERATIONS:
Higher Timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly):
- Focus on Major and Standard levels only
- Disable Intraday and Mid levels
- Wider level spacing expected
- Use for swing trading and position trading
Lower Timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H):
- Enable all level types
- Use Intraday levels for precision
- Tighter level spacing acceptable
- Good for day trading and scalping
Multi-Timeframe Approach:
- Identify major levels on Daily/4H charts
- Refine entries using 15m/1H intraday levels
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe bias
- Use lower timeframe levels for position management
