Futures Fighter MO: Multi-Confluence Day Trading System ADX/SMI👋 Strategy Overview: The Multi-Confluence Mashup
The Futures Fighter MO is a comprehensive, multi-layered day trading strategy designed for experienced traders focusing on high-liquidity futures contracts (e.g., NQ, ES, R2K).
This strategy is a sophisticated mashup that uses the 1-minute chart for surgical entries while enforcing strict environmental filtering through higher-timeframe data. We aim to capture high-conviction moves only when multiple, uncorrelated signals align.
🧠 How the Logic Works (Concepts & Confluence)
Our logic is built on four pillars, which must align for a trade to be executed:
Primary Trend Filter
Indicators :
ADX/DMI (15-Minute Lookback)
Role :
Price action is filtered to ensure the ADX (17/14) is above 25, confirming a strong, prevailing market trend (Bullish or Bearish). Trades are strictly rejected during "Flat" (sideways) market regimes.
Entry Signal Types
The system uses multiple entry types:
- 🟢 Trend Long/Short: A breakout/rejection near the 200-Period EMA is confirmed by the primary ADX trend.
- 🔴 Engulfing Rejection: A strong signal when a Bullish/Bearish Engulfing or Doji prints near the long-term 500-Period EMA (emaGOD) while the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI on 30M) is in an extreme overbought/oversold state (below $-40$ or above $40$).
Volatility & Volume Confirmation
Indicators: Average True Range (ATR) and 20-Period SMA of Volume
Role: Every entry requires a volume spike (Current Volume $> 1.5 \times$ SMA Volume) to confirm that the move is supported by significant liquidity. Volatility is tracked via ATR to define bar range and stop boundaries.
Structural Guardrails
Indicators: Daily Pivot Points (PP, S1-S3, R1-R3)
Role: Trades are disabled if the current bar's price range intersects with a Daily Pivot Point. This is a critical filter to avoid high-chop consolidation zones near key structural levels.
📊 Strategy Results & Required Disclosures
I strive to publish backtesting results that are transparent and realistic for the retail futures trader.
- Initial Capital: $50,000 - A realistic base for Mini/Micro futures contracts.
- Order Size: 1 Contract (Pyramiding up to 3) - Conservative risk relative to the account size.
- Commission: $0.11 USD per order - Represents realistic costs for low-cost brokers.
- Slippage: 2 Ticks - Accounts for expected market friction.
⚠️ Risk Management & Deviations
Stop-Loss: The strategy uses a dynamic stop-loss system where positions are closed upon a reversal (e.g., breaking the 50-Period EMA or failure to hold a Pivot Point), rather than a fixed tick-based stop. This is suited for experienced traders using a low relative risk (single Micro-contract entry) on a larger account. Users must confirm that the first entry's maximum potential loss remains below $10\%$ of their capital for compliance.
Trade Sample Size: Due to data limitations of the TradingView Essential plan (showing $\approx 50$ trades over 2 weeks), the sample size is under the ideal $100+$ target. Justification: This system is designed to generate signals across a portfolio of correlated futures markets (NQ, ES, R2K, Gold, Crude), meaning the real sample size for a user tracking the portfolio is significantly higher.
Drawdown Control: This strategy is designed for manual management. It requires the user to turn the script/alerts OFF after a significant drawdown and only reactivate it once a recovery trend is established externally.
The strategy uses a combination of dynamic trailing stops, structural support/resistance zones, and a fixed profit target to manage open positions.
🛑 Strategy Exit Logic
1. General Stop-Loss (Dynamic Trailing Stop)
These conditions act as the primary dynamic stop, closing the position if the market reverses past a key Moving Average (MA):
- Long Positions Closed When: The current bar's close crosses under the 50-Period EMA (emaLong).
- Short Positions Closed When: The current bar's close crosses above the 50-Period EMA (emaLong).
2. Profit Target (Fixed Percentage)
The script includes a general exit based on a user-defined profit percentage:
Take Profit Trigger: The position is closed when the currentProfitPercent meets or exceeds the input Profit Target (%) (default is 1.0% of the entry price).
3. Structural Exits (Daily Pivot Points)
These exits are high-priority, "close all" orders that trigger when the price fails to hold or reclaims a recent Daily Pivot Point, suggesting a failure of the current move.
- VR Close All - Long ($\sym{size} > 0$) - Price crosses under a Daily Resistance Level (R1, R2, or R3) minus 1 ATR within the last 10 bars. This indicates the current momentum failed to hold Resistance as support.
- VS Close All - Short ($\sym{size} < 0$) - Price crosses above a Daily Support Level (S1, S2, or S3) plus 1 ATR within the last 10 bars. This indicates the current momentum failed to hold Support as resistance.
4. Trend Failure Exit (Trend-Following Signals Only)
This exit protects against holding a position when the primary high-timeframe trend used for the entry has failed:
- Long Positions Closed When: The primary trend is no longer "bullish" for more than 2 consecutive bars (i.e., it turned "bearish" or "flat").
- Short Positions Closed When: The primary trend is no longer "bearish" for more than 2 consecutive bars (i.e., it turned "bullish" or "flat").
5. End of Day (EOD) Session Control
The final hard exits based on time:
- End of Session (EoS): At 11:30 AM, new trades are disabled (TradingDay := false). Open positions are kept.
- End of Day (EoD): At 1:30 PM, all remaining open positions are closed (strategy.close_all).

Multi Pivot Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Multi Pivot Trend is an advanced market-structure-driven trend engine that evaluates trend strength by scanning multiple pivot breakouts simultaneously.
Instead of relying on a single swing length, it tracks breakouts across ten increasing pivot lengths — then averages their behavior to produce a smooth, reliable trend reading.
Mitigation logic (close, wick, or HL2 touches) controls how breakouts are confirmed, giving traders institutional-style flexibility similar to BOS/CHoCH validation rules.
This indicator not only colors candles based on trend strength, but also extends trend strength and volatility-scaled projection candles to show where trend pressure may expand next.
Pivot breakout lines and labels mark key changes, making the trend transitions extremely clear.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Market trend strength is reflected by multiple pivot breakouts, not just one.
The indicator analyzes ten pivot structures from smaller to larger swings.
Each bullish or bearish pivot breakout contributes to trend score.
Mitigation options (close / wick / HL2) imitate smart-money breakout confirmation logic.
Trend score is averaged and translated into colors and extension bars.
Neutral regime ≈ weak trend or transition zone (trend compression).
🔵 FEATURES
Multi-Pivot Engine — tracks 10 pivot-based trend signals simultaneously.
Mitigation Modes :
• Close — breakout requires candle close beyond pivot
• Wicks — breakout requires wick violation
• HL2 — breakout confirmed when average (H+L)/2 crosses level
Dynamic Color System :
• Blue → confirmed bullish rotation
• Red → confirmed bearish rotation
• Orange → neutral / transition state
Breakout Visualization — draws pivot breakout lines in real-time.
Trend Labels — prints trend %.
Trend Volatility-Scaled Extension Candles — ATR/trend strength based candle projections show momentum continuation strength.
Gradient Pivot Encoding — higher pivot lengths = deeper structure considered.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use strong blue/red periods to follow dominant structural trend.
Watch for color transition into orange — possible trend change or consolidation.
Pivot breakout lines help validate structure shifts without clutter.
Wick mitigation catches aggressive liquidity-sweep based breaks.
Close/HL2 mitigation catches cleaner market structure rotations.
Extension bars visualize trend pressure — large extensions = strong push.
Best paired with volume or volatility confirmation tools.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Multi Pivot Trend is a structural trend recognition system that blends multiple pivot breakouts into one clean trend score — with institutional-style mitigation logic and volatility-projected trend extensions.
It gives traders a powerful, visually intuitive way to track momentum, spot trend rotations early, and understand true structural flow beyond simple MA-based approaches.
Use it to stay aligned with the dominant swing direction while avoiding noise and false flips.
Volume Sentiment Breakout Channels [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes breakout zones based on volume sentiment within dynamic price channels . It identifies high-impact consolidation areas, quantifies buy/sell dominance inside those zones, and then displays real-time shifts in sentiment strength. When the market breaks above or below these sentiment-weighted channels, traders can interpret the event as a change in conviction, not just a technical breakout.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on two layers of logic:
Channel Detection : A volatility-based algorithm locates price compression areas using normalized highs and lows over a defined lookback. These “boxes” mark accumulation or distribution ranges.
Volume Sentiment Profiling : Each channel is internally divided into small bins, where volume is aggregated and signed by candle direction. This produces a granular sentiment map showing which levels are dominated by buyers or sellers.
When a breakout occurs, the script clears the previous box and forms a new one, letting traders visually track transitions between phases of control. The colored gradients and text updates continuously reflect the internal bias—green for net-buying, red for net-selling—so you can see conviction strength at a glance.
🟠 FEATURES
Volume-weighted sentiment map inside each box, with gradient color intensity proportional to participation.
Dynamic text display of current and overall sentiment within each channel.
Real-time trail lines to show active bullish/bearish trend extensions after breakout.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart and enable Strong Closes Only if you prefer cleaner breakouts. Use shorter normalization length (e.g., 50–80) for fast markets; longer (100–200) for smoother transitions.
Read Signals : Transparent boxes mark active sentiment channels. Green gradients show buy-side dominance, red shows sell-side. The middle dashed line is the equilibrium of the channel. “▲” appears when price breaks upward, “▼” when it breaks downward.
Understanding Sentiment : The sentiment profile can be used to show the probability of the price moving up or down at respective price levels.
3SD Bollinger Exhaustion & Reversal Alert IndicatorThe Bollinger Band 3 Standard Deviation (3SD) captures roughly 99% of price action within its boundaries.
When price moves beyond these extremes, it often signals temporary overextension — creating opportunities for mean reversion trades, especially when aligned with the prevailing trend.
This indicator alerts you when:
- Price touches the 3SD Bollinger Band on higher timeframes (H4, D1, W1, M1), and
- A reversal reaction occurs — defined by a bullish or bearish candle close on H1 or H4.
Together, these conditions identify potential high-probability entry zones where exhaustion meets trend alignment.
🚀 Coming Soon
A premium version is in development, combining this 3SD exhaustion logic with my proprietary trend-following system.
It will generate confluence-based trade signals when price interacts with both the 3SD band and the trend-following band.
Stay tuned for updates.
EMA HeatmapEMA Heatmap — Indicator Description
The EMA Order Heatmap is a visual trend-structure tool designed to show whether the market is currently trending bullish, trending bearish, or moving through a neutral consolidation phase. It evaluates the alignment of multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs) at three different structural layers: short-term daily, medium-term daily, and weekly macro trend. This creates a quick and intuitive picture of how well price movement is organized across timeframes.
Each layer of the heatmap is scored from bearish to bullish based on how the EMAs are stacked relative to each other. When EMAs are in a fully bullish configuration, the row displays a bright green or lime color. Fully bearish alignment is shown in red. Yellow tones appear when the EMAs are mixed or compressing, indicating uncertainty, trend exhaustion, or a change in market character. The three rows combined offer a concise view of whether strength or weakness is isolated to one timeframe or broad across the market.
This indicator is best used as a trend filter before making trading decisions. Traders may find more consistent setups when the majority of the heatmap supports the direction of their trade. Green-dominant conditions suggest a trending bullish environment where long trades can be favored. Red-dominant conditions indicate bearish momentum and stronger potential for short opportunities. When yellow becomes more prominent, the market may be transitioning, ranging, or gearing up for a breakout, making timing more challenging and risk higher.
• Helps quickly identify directional bias
• Highlights when trends strengthen, weaken, or turn
• Provides insight into whether momentum is supported by higher timeframes
• Encourages traders to avoid fighting market structure
It is important to recognize the limitations. EMAs are lagging indicators, so the heatmap may confirm a trend after the initial move is underway, especially during fast reversals. In sideways or low-volume environments, the structure can shift frequently, reducing clarity. This tool does not generate entry or exit signals on its own and should be paired with price action, momentum studies, or support and resistance analysis for precise trade execution.
The EMA Order Heatmap offers a clean and reliable way to stay aligned with the broader market environment and avoid lower-quality trades in indecisive conditions. It supports more disciplined decision-making by helping traders focus on setups that match the prevailing structural trend.
Trend Following Pro [Wukong Algo]Trend Following Pro
This is a trading method in pullback areas following the trendline. The trendband is designed to include Entry band (green band) and Stop Loss band (red band). Stop Loss will trail along the trendline.
Automatically connect TradingView and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for automatic trading and order management via PineConnector
The system includes a risk management grid including the levels: Stop Loss (SL), Break-even (BE), Trailing Stop, TP1 (1/4), TP2 (2/4), TP3 (3/4), TP4 (4/4). This grid helps you easily monitor and manage orders on TradingView in parallel with automatic order management on MT5.

Venzitech ScalperVenzitech Scalper: Compliant Description (Plaintext)
This strategy is a complex, multi-indicator trend-following system designed for intraday scalping on low-timeframe charts. It uses a confluence of four distinct filters to ensure high-conviction entries during optimal momentum and volume.
1. Overview and Core Logic
The entry signal requires simultaneous confirmation from the following components:
Trend Confirmation (Heikin-Ashi EMAs): The primary trend is established using Heikin-Ashi price action combined with an EMA (Fast=8) crossing and remaining above an EMA (Slow=21). This provides a smoother, momentum-based trend signal.
Momentum Strength (ADX/RSI): The trend must be validated by the ADX (default 16) to confirm sufficient directional strength, and the RSI (default 42) to confirm continued positive internal momentum.
Volume Validation: A dynamic filter requires the current bar's volume to be greater than the 20-period Volume MA (multiplied by the default 1.0 factor), ensuring trades are executed during periods of active market participation.
Session & Volatility Filter: Trades are restricted to a defined trading window (default UTC 12:00 to 20:00). The script also includes an optional Volatility Cap filter based on a long-term ATR to suppress entries during extreme volatility.
2. Trade Management and Realistic Risk
This strategy employs a robust, partial-exit risk management plan driven by the Average True Range (ATR) for sustainable risk control.
Initial Stop Loss (SL): The initial SL is tight and calculated dynamically using the 14-period ATR multiplied by an adjustable factor (default 0.7). This size is designed for micro-losses appropriate for scalping and is adapted slightly during high volatility.
Partial Exits & Profit Taking: The position is split into two equal halves for exit management:
50% Position (TP1): Exited at a 1R profit target, where 1R is defined as the exact value of the initial ATR-based SL.
50% Position (Run): Managed by a Trailing Stop Loss (TSL), with trail points also calculated dynamically using the current ATR.
Breakeven (BE) Lock: An optional feature (default: ON) automatically moves the stop loss to Breakeven (entry price plus 1 tick) once the position is 2 ticks in profit, locking in capital protection rapidly.
Daily Risk Controls: The strategy includes mandatory daily money management features (default: ON):
Max Daily Loss Stop: Stops all trading for the day if the cumulative closed P&L reaches -$500 (default).
Profit Protection Floor: If the closed P&L reaches a minimum threshold (default $110), any open position will be closed if the total daily P&L drops back below this floor, locking in minimum daily gains.
3. Strategy Properties & Backtesting Disclosure
The default settings are configured for high-liquidity futures or FX markets. Users must ensure their backtesting environment is realistic:
Risk Per Trade: The ATR-based SL aims to keep the risk per trade below 5% of a reasonable account size, which is critical for sustainable trading.
Contracts/Size: Default quantity is 3 contracts.
Commissions/Slippage: Commissions and slippage MUST be configured by the user in the Strategy Properties window to reflect real-world brokerage fees and execution costs.
Sample Size: The strategy should be run on a dataset that generates over 100 trades for statistically valid results.
MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk. All claims of historical performance are substantiated by the backtesting results on the chart, but these results do not guarantee actual trading outcomes. Keep your language realistic.
Portfolio Strategy TesterThe Portfolio Strategy Tester is an institutional-grade backtesting framework that evaluates the performance of trend-following strategies on multi-asset portfolios. It enables users to construct custom portfolios of up to 30 assets and apply moving average crossover strategies across individual holdings. The model features a clear, color-coded table that provides a side-by-side comparison between the buy-and-hold portfolio and the portfolio using the risk management strategy, offering a comprehensive assessment of both approaches relative to the benchmark.
Portfolios are constructed by entering each ticker symbol in the menu, assigning its respective weight, and reviewing the total sum of individual weights displayed at the top left of the table. For strategy selection, users can choose between Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Wilder’s Moving Average (RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). Moving average lengths are defined in the menu and apply only to strategy-enabled assets.
To accurately replicate real-world portfolio conditions, users can choose between daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly rebalancing frequencies and decide whether cash is held or redistributed. Daily rebalancing maintains constant portfolio weights, while longer intervals allow natural drift. When cash positions are not allowed, capital from bearish assets is automatically redistributed proportionally among bullish assets, ensuring the portfolio remains fully invested at all times. The table displays a comprehensive set of widely used institutional-grade performance metrics:
CAGR = Compounded annual growth rate of returns.
Volatility = Annualized standard deviation of returns.
Sharpe = CAGR per unit of annualized standard deviation.
Sortino = CAGR per unit of annualized downside deviation.
Calmar = CAGR relative to maximum drawdown.
Max DD = Largest peak-to-trough decline in value.
Beta (β) = Sensitivity of returns relative to benchmark returns.
Alpha (α) = Excess annualized risk-adjusted returns relative to benchmark.
Upside = Ratio of average return to benchmark return on up days.
Downside = Ratio of average return to benchmark return on down days.
Tracking = Annualized standard deviation of returns versus benchmark.
Turnover = Average sum of absolute changes in weights per year.
Cumulative returns are displayed on each label as the total percentage gain from the selected start date, with green indicating positive returns and red indicating negative returns. In the table, baseline metrics serve as the benchmark reference and are always gray. For portfolio metrics, green indicates outperformance relative to the baseline, while red indicates underperformance relative to the baseline. For strategy metrics, green indicates outperformance relative to both the baseline and the portfolio, red indicates underperformance relative to both, and gray indicates underperformance relative to either the baseline or portfolio. Metrics such as Volatility, Tracking Error, and Turnover ratio are always displayed in gray as they serve as descriptive measures.
In summary, the Portfolio Strategy Tester is a comprehensive backtesting tool designed to help investors evaluate different trend-following strategies on custom portfolios. It enables real-world simulation of both active and passive investment approaches and provides a full set of standard institutional-grade performance metrics to support data-driven comparisons. While results are based on historical performance, the model serves as a powerful portfolio management and research framework for developing, validating, and refining systematic investment strategies.
Curved Radius Supertrend [BOSWaves]Curved Radius Supertrend — Adaptive Parabolic Trend Framework with Dynamic Acceleration Geometry
Overview
The Curved Radius Supertrend introduces an evolution of the classic Supertrend indicator - engineered with a dynamic curvature engine that replaces rigid ATR bands with parabolic, radius-based motion. Traditional Supertrend systems rely on static band displacement, reacting linearly to volatility and often lagging behind emerging price acceleration. The Curved Radius Supertend model redefines this by integrating controlled acceleration and curvature geometry, allowing the trend bands to adapt fluidly to both velocity and duration of price movement.
The result is a smoother, more organic trend flow that visually captures the momentum curve of price action - not just its direction. Instead of sharp pivots or whipsaws, traders experience a structurally curved trajectory that mirrors real market inertia. This makes it particularly effective for identifying sustained directional phases, detecting early trend rotations, and filtering out noise that plagues standard Supertrend methodologies.
Unlike conventional band-following systems, the Curved Radius framework is time-reactive and velocity-aware, providing a nuanced signal structure that blends geometric precision with volatility sensitivity.
Theoretical Foundation
The Curved Radius Supertrend draws from the intersection of mathematical curvature dynamics and adaptive volatility processing. Standard Supertrend algorithms extend from Average True Range (ATR) envelopes - a linear measure of volatility that moves proportionally with price deviation. However, markets do not expand or contract linearly. Trend velocity typically accelerates and decelerates in nonlinear arcs, forming natural parabolas across price phases.
By embedding a radius-based acceleration function, the indicator models this natural behavior. The core variable, radiusStrength, controls how aggressively curvature accelerates over time. Instead of simply following price distance, the band now evolves according to temporal acceleration - each bar contributes incremental velocity, bending the trend line into a radius-like curve.
This structural design allows the indicator to anticipate rather than just respond to price action, capturing momentum transitions as curved accelerations rather than binary flips. In practice, this eliminates the stutter effect typical of standard Supertrends and replaces it with fluid directional motion that better reflects actual trend geometry.
How It Works
The Curved Radius Supertrend is constructed through a multi-stage process designed to balance price responsiveness with geometric stability:
1. Baseline Supertrend Core
The framework begins with a standard ATR-derived upper and lower band calculation. These define the volatility envelope that constrains potential price zones. Directional bias is determined through crossover logic - prices above the lower band confirm an uptrend, while prices below the upper band confirm a downtrend.
2. Curvature Acceleration Engine
Once a trend direction is established, a curvature engine is activated. This system uses radiusStrength as a coefficient to simulate acceleration per bar, incrementally increasing velocity over time. The result is a parabolic displacement from the anchor price (the price level at trend change), creating a curved motion path that dynamically widens or tightens as the trend matures.
Mathematically, this acceleration behaves quadratically - each new bar compounds the previous velocity, forming an exponential rate of displacement that resembles curved inertia.
3. Adaptive Smoothing Layer
After the radius curve is applied, a smoothing stage (defined by the smoothness parameter) uses a simple moving average to regulate curve noise. This ensures visual coherence without sacrificing responsiveness, producing flowing arcs rather than jagged band steps.
4. Directional Visualization and Outer Envelope
Directional state (bullish or bearish) dictates both the color gradient and band displacement. An outer envelope is plotted one ATR beyond the curved band, creating a layered trend visualization that shows the extent of volatility expansion.
5. Signal Events and Alerts
Each directional transition triggers a 'BUY' or 'SELL' signal, clearly labeling phase shifts in market structure. Alerts are built in for automation and backtesting.
Interpretation
The Curved Radius Supertrend reframes how traders visualize and confirm trends. Instead of simply plotting a trailing stop, it maps the dynamic curvature of trend development.
Uptrend Phases : The band curves upward with increasing acceleration, reflecting the market’s growing directional velocity. As curvature steepens, conviction strengthens.
Downtrend Phases : The band bends downward in a mirrored acceleration pattern, indicating sustained bearish momentum.
Trend Change Points : When the direction flips and a new anchor point forms, the curve resets - providing a clean, early visual confirmation of structural reversal.
Smoothing and Radius Interplay : A lower radius strength produces a tighter, more reactive curve ideal for scalping or short timeframes. Higher values generate broad, sweeping arcs optimized for swing or positional analysis.
Visually, this curvature system translates market inertia into shape - revealing how trends bend, accelerate, and ultimately exhaust.
Strategy Integration
The Curved Radius Supertrend is versatile enough to integrate seamlessly into multiple trading frameworks:
Trend Following : Use BUY/SELL flips to identify emerging directional bias. Strong curvature continuation confirms sustained momentum.
Momentum Entry Filtering : Combine with oscillators or volume tools to filter entries only when the curve slope accelerates (high momentum conditions).
Pullback and Re-entry Timing : The smooth curvature of the radius band allows traders to identify shallow retracements without premature exits. The band acts as a dynamic, self-adjusting support/resistance arc.
Volatility Compression and Expansion : Flattening curvature indicates volatility compression - a potential pre-breakout zone. Rapid re-steepening signals expansion and directional conviction.
Stop Placement Framework : The curved band can serve as a volatility-adjusted trailing stop. Because the curve reflects acceleration, it adapts naturally to market rhythm - widening during momentum surges and tightening during stagnation.
Technical Implementation Details
Curved Radius Engine : Parabolic acceleration algorithm that applies quadratic velocity based on bar count and radiusStrength.
Anchor Logic : Resets curvature at each trend change, establishing a new reference base for directional acceleration.
Smoothing Layer : SMA-based curve smoothing for noise reduction.
Outer Envelope : ATR-derived band offset visualizing volatility extension.
Directional Coloring : Candle and band coloration tied to current trend state.
Signal Engine : Built-in BUY/SELL markers and alert conditions for automation or script integration.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance :
1-5 min (Scalping) : 0.08–0.12 radius strength, minimal smoothing for rapid responsiveness.
15 min : 0.12–0.15 radius strength for intraday trends.
1H : 0.15–0.18 radius strength for structured short-term swing setups.
4H : 0.18–0.22 radius strength for macro-trend shaping.
Daily : 0.20–0.25 radius strength for broad directional curves.
Weekly : 0.25–0.30 radius strength for smooth macro-level cycles.
The suggested radius strength ranges provide general structural guidance. Optimal values may vary across assets and volatility regimes, and should be refined through empirical testing to account for instrument-specific behavior and prevailing market conditions.
Asset Guidance :
Cryptocurrency : Higher radius and multiplier values to stabilize high-volatility environments.
Forex : Midrange settings (0.12-0.18) for clean curvature transitions.
Equities : Balanced curvature for trending sectors or momentum rotation setups.
Indices/Futures : Moderate radius values (0.15-0.22) to capture cyclical macro swings.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness :
Trending environments with directional expansion.
Markets exhibiting clean momentum arcs and low structural noise.
Reduced Effectiveness :
Range-bound or low-volatility conditions with repeated false flips.
Ultra-short-term timeframes (<1m) where curvature acceleration overshoots.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Combine with structure tools (order blocks, BOS, liquidity zones) for entry validation.
Risk Management : Trail stops along the curved band rather than fixed points to align with adaptive market geometry.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Use higher timeframe curvature as a trend filter and lower timeframe curvature for execution timing.
Curve Compression Awareness : Treat flattening arcs as potential exhaustion zones - ideal for scaling out or reducing exposure.
Disclaimer
The Curved Radius Supertrend is a geometric trend model designed for professional traders and analysts. It is not a predictive system or a guaranteed profit method. Its performance depends on correct parameter calibration and sound risk management. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical framework, incorporating volume, liquidity, and structural context to validate directional signals.
Background Trend Follower by exp3rtsThe Background Trend Follower indicator visually highlights the market’s daily directional bias using subtle background colors. It calculates the price change from the daily open and shades the chart background according to the current intraday momentum.
🟢 Green background → Price is significantly above the daily open (strong bullish trend)
🔴 Red background → Price is significantly below the daily open (strong bearish trend)
🟡 Yellow background → Price is trading near the daily open (neutral or consolidating phase)
The script automatically detects each new trading day.
It records the opening price at the start of the day.
As the session progresses, it continuously measures how far the current price has moved from that open.
When the move exceeds ±50 points (custom threshold), the background color adapts to reflect the trend strength.
Perfect for traders who want a quick visual sense of intraday bias — bullish, bearish, or neutral — without cluttering the chart with extra indicators.

Tight Entry Trend Engine Strategy═══════════════════════════════════════
TIGHT ENTRY TREND ENGINE
═══════════════════════════════════════
A breakout-based trend-following system designed to capture explosive
moves by entering at precise resistance/support breakouts with minimal
entry risk and massive profit potential.
⚠️ LOW WIN RATE, HIGH REWARD SYSTEM ⚠️
This is NOT a high win-rate strategy. Expect 25-35% winners, but
when it hits, winners are typically 10X+ larger than losers.
═══════════════════════════════════════
🎯 WHAT THIS SYSTEM DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════
The Tight Entry Trend Engine identifies powerful breakout opportunities
by detecting when price breaks through established trendlines with
confirmation from higher timeframe trends:
1. DYNAMIC TRENDLINE DETECTION (3 BANKS)
• Automatically draws support and resistance trendlines
• 3 separate "banks" capture short-term, medium-term, and long-term levels
• Each bank has configurable parameters (required pivot touch count,
angle limits, lengths)
2. BREAKOUT ENTRY TIMING
• Enters LONG when price breaks ABOVE resistance trendlines
• Enters SHORT when price breaks BELOW support trendlines
• Entry Alert occurs at the exact moment of breakout = "tight entry"
• Stop-loss placed just below/above the broken trendline (configurable)
3. HIGHER TIMEFRAME TREND FILTER
• Uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) on higher timeframe for trend following
• Auto-adjusts HTF based on your chart timeframe
• Optional filters prevent entries against major trend
• Optional "overextension" filter avoids buying parabolic moves
4. VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
• Stop-loss calculated using Average True Range (ATR)
• Tighter stops = better R:R
• Profit targets adjust dynamically with volatility
• Breakeven stop moves automatically when in profit
• Extended profit targets when far from HTF trend
═══════════════════════════════════════
📊 HOW IT WORKS (METHODOLOGY)
═══════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: TRENDLINE FORMATION
The system continuously scans for pivot highs and pivot lows to
construct trendlines. You control:
BANK 1 (Short-Term):
- Pivot Length: How many bars to look back for swing points
- Min Touches: How many pivots needed to form a line (default: 3)
- Max Length: How far back lines can reach (default: 180 bars)
- Angle Limits: Maximum steepness allowed for valid trendlines
- Tolerance: How close pivots must align to form horizontal lines
BANK 2 (Medium-Term):
- Slightly longer pivot periods for more significant levels
- Captures medium-term trend structure
- Default Max Length: 200 bars
BANK 3 (Long-Term):
- Focuses on major support/resistance zones
- Often uses horizontal levels (angled lines disabled by default)
- Default Max Length: 300 bars
The system draws RESISTANCE lines (red) above price and SUPPORT
lines (green) below price. These adapt in real-time as new pivots form.
STEP 2: BREAKOUT DETECTION
LONG SIGNALS:
- Price closes above a resistance trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is up (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
SHORT SIGNALS:
- Price closes below a support trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is down (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
The "tight" aspect: Because you're entering right at the trendline
break, your stop-loss can be placed very close (just below the
broken resistance for longs), creating exceptional risk/reward ratios.
STEP 3: POSITION SIZING
Choose between:
- Fixed $ Risk Per Trade: Risk same dollar amount every trade
- % Risk Per Trade: Risk percentage of current equity
Position size automatically calculated based on:
- Your risk amount
- Distance to stop-loss (ATR-based)
- Works with stocks, futures, crypto (auto-adjusts for contract multipliers)
STEP 4: EXIT MANAGEMENT
Multiple exit methods working together:
- PROFIT TARGET: Exits when profit reaches 100x your risk
- EXTENDED PROFIT: Earlier exit (80R) when very far from HTF trend
- STOP LOSS: Fixed ATR-based stop below entry
- HTF TREND EXIT: Exits when price crosses below HTF trend with profit
- BREAKEVEN PULLBACK: Exits if profit drops below 0.6R after reaching breakeven
- PARTIAL PROFITS: Optional - take partial profits at specified R-multiple
═══════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY COMPONENTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════
HULL MOVING AVERAGE (HMA)
A smoothed moving average that reduces lag compared to traditional
MAs. The system uses HMA on a higher timeframe to determine the
dominant trend direction. You can choose:
- Auto HTF: System picks appropriate HTF based on your chart timeframe
- Manual HTF: You specify the higher timeframe
AVERAGE TRUE RANGE (ATR)
Measures current market volatility. Used for:
- Stop-loss distance (tighter when volatility low)
- Profit targets (larger when volatility high)
- Position sizing (smaller positions in volatile conditions)
- Breakeven trigger distance
TRENDLINE ANGLE FILTERING
Each trendline bank has angle limits to ensure quality:
- Resistance lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Support lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Angles automatically adjust based on current volatility
- Prevents overly steep/unreliable trendlines
SENSITIVITY CONTROL
One master slider adjusts multiple parameters:
- Trendline detection sensitivity
- HTF MA length
- Exit timing
- Auto-adjusts for daily+ timeframes (60% increase)

💡 TRADING PHILOSOPHY & EXPECTATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════
This system is built on one core principle:
"ACCEPT SMALL, FREQUENT LOSSES TO CAPTURE RARE, MASSIVE WINS"
What this means:
- You WILL lose 65%-75% of your trades
- Most losses will be small (1-2R)
- Some winners hit 80R+

Smart Money Volume Activity [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes how Smart Money and Retail participants behave through lower-timeframe volume analysis. It detects volume spikes far beyond normal activity, classifies them as institutional or retail, and projects those zones as reactive levels. The script updates dynamically with each bar, showing when large players enter while tracking whether those events remain profitable. Each event is drawn as a horizontal line with bubble markers and summarized in a live P/L table comparing Smart Money versus Retail.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core logic uses Z-score normalization on lower-timeframe volumes (like 5m inside a 1h chart). This lets the script detect statistically extreme bursts of buying or selling activity. It classifies each detected event as:
Smart Money — volume inside the candle body (suggesting hidden accumulation or distribution)
Retail — volume closing at bar extremes (suggesting chase entries or panic exits)
When new events appear, the script plots them as horizontal levels that persist until price interacts again. Each level acts as a potential reaction zone or liquidity footprint. The integrated P/L table then measures which class (Retail or Smart Money) is currently “winning” — comparing cumulative profitable versus losing volume.
🟠 FEATURES
Classifies flows into Smart Money or Retail based on candle-body context.
Displays live P/L comparison table for Smart vs Retail performance.
Alerts for each detected Smart or Retail buy/sell event.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to any chart. Set Lower Timeframe Value (e.g., “5” for 5m) smaller than your main chart timeframe. The Period input controls how many bars are analyzed for the Z-score baseline. The Threshold (|Z|) decides how extreme a volume must be to plot a level.
Read the chart : Horizontal lines mark where heavy Smart or Retail volume occurred. Bright bubbles show the strongest events — their size reflects Z-score intensity. The on-chart table updates live: green cells show profitable flows, red cells show losing flows. A dominant green Smart Money row suggests institutions are currently controlling price.
See what others are doing :
Settings that matter : Raising Threshold (|Z|) filters noise, showing only large players. Increasing Period smooths results but reacts slower to new bursts. Use Show = “Both” for full comparison or isolate “Smart Money” / “Retail” to focus on one class.
Market Regime IndexThe Market Regime Index is a top-down macro regime nowcasting tool that offers a consolidated view of the market’s risk appetite. It tracks 32 of the world’s most influential markets across asset classes to determine investor sentiment by applying trend-following signals to each independent asset. It features adjustable parameters and a built-in alert system that notifies investors when conditions transition between Risk-On and Risk-Off regimes. The selected markets are grouped into equities (7), fixed income (9), currencies (7), commodities (5), and derivatives (4):
Equities = S&P 500 E-mini Index Futures, Nasdaq-100 E-mini Index Futures, Russell 2000 E-mini Index Futures, STOXX Europe 600 Index Futures, Nikkei 225 Index Futures, MSCI Emerging Markets Index Futures, and S&P 500 High Beta (SPHB)/Low Beta (SPLV) Ratio.
Fixed Income = US 10Y Treasury Yield, US 2Y Treasury Yield, US 10Y-02Y Yield Spread, German 10Y Bund Yield, UK 10Y Gilt Yield, US 10Y Breakeven Inflation Rate, US 10Y TIPS Yield, US High Yield Option-Adjusted Spread, and US Corporate Option-Adjusted Spread.
Currencies = US Dollar Index (DXY), Australian Dollar/US Dollar, Euro/US Dollar, Chinese Yuan/US Dollar, Pound Sterling/US Dollar, Japanese Yen/US Dollar, and Bitcoin/US Dollar.
Commodities = ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures, COMEX Gold Futures, COMEX Silver Futures, COMEX Copper Futures, and S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) Futures.
Derivatives = CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX), ICE US Bond Market Volatility Index (MOVE), CBOE 3M Implied Correlation Index, and CBOE VIX Volatility Index (VVIX)/VIX.
All assets are directionally aligned with their historical correlation to the S&P 500. Each asset contributes equally based on its individual bullish or bearish signal. The overall market regime is calculated as the difference between the number of Risk-On and Risk-Off signals divided by the total number of assets, displayed as the percentage of markets confirming each regime. Green indicates Risk-On and occurs when the number of Risk-On signals exceeds Risk-Off signals, while red indicates Risk-Off and occurs when the number of Risk-Off signals exceeds Risk-On signals.
Bullish Signal = (Fast MA – Slow MA) > (ATR × ATR Margin)
Bearish Signal = (Fast MA – Slow MA) < –(ATR × ATR Margin)
Market Regime = (Risk-On signals – Risk-Off signals) ÷ Total assets
This indicator is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to include or exclude individual assets that contribute to the market regime and adjust the input parameters used for trend signal detection. These parameters apply to each independent asset, and the overall regime signal is smoothed by the signal length to reduce noise and enhance reliability. Investors can position according to the prevailing market regime by selecting factors that have historically outperformed under each regime environment to minimise downside risk and maximise upside potential:
Risk-On Equity Factors = High Beta > Cyclicals > Low Volatility > Defensives.
Risk-Off Equity Factors = Defensives > Low Volatility > Cyclicals > High Beta.
Risk-On Fixed Income Factors = High Yield > Investment Grade > Treasuries.
Risk-Off Fixed Income Factors = Treasuries > Investment Grade > High Yield.
Risk-On Commodity Factors = Industrial Metals > Energy > Agriculture > Gold.
Risk-Off Commodity Factors = Gold > Agriculture > Energy > Industrial Metals.
Risk-On Currency Factors = Cryptocurrencies > Foreign Currencies > US Dollar.
Risk-Off Currency Factors = US Dollar > Foreign Currencies > Cryptocurrencies.
In summary, the Market Regime Index is a comprehensive macro risk-management tool that identifies the current market regime and helps investors align portfolio risk with the market’s underlying risk appetite. Its intuitive, color-coded design makes it an indispensable resource for investors seeking to navigate shifting market conditions and enhance risk-adjusted performance by selecting factors that have historically outperformed. While it has proven historically valuable, asset-specific characteristics and correlations evolve over time as market dynamics change.
Trend Pivots Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Trend Pivots Profile is a dynamic volume profile tool that builds profiles around pivot points to reveal where liquidity accumulates during trend shifts. When the market is in an uptrend , the indicator generates profiles at low pivots . In a downtrend , it builds them at high pivots . Each profile is constructed using lower timeframe volume data for higher resolution, making it highly precise even in limited space. A colored trendline helps traders instantly recognize the prevailing trend and anticipate which type of profile (bullish or bearish) will form.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Driven Profiles : Profiles are only created when a new pivot forms, aligning liquidity analysis with market structure shifts.
Trend-Contextual : Profiles form at low pivots in uptrends and at high pivots in downtrends.
Lower Timeframe Data : Volume and close values are pulled from smaller timeframes to provide detailed, high-resolution profiles inside larger pivot windows.
Adaptive Bin Sizing : Bin size is automatically calculated relative to ATR, ensuring consistent precision across different markets and volatility conditions.
Point of Control (PoC) : The highest-volume level within each profile is marked with a PoC line that extends until the next pivot forms.
Trendline Visualization : A wide, semi-transparent line follows the rolling average of highs and lows, colored blue in uptrends and orange in downtrends.
🔵 FEATURES
Pivot Length Control : Adjust how far back the script looks to detect pivots (e.g., length 5 → profiles cover 10 bars after pivot).
Pivot Profile toggle :
On → draw the filled pivot profile + PoC + pivot label.
Off → hide profiles; show only PoC level (clean S/R mode).
Trend Length Filter : Smooths trendline detection to ensure reliable up/down bias.
Precise Volume Distribution : Volume is aggregated into bins, creating a smooth volume curve around the pivot range.
PoC Extension : Automatically extends the most active price level until a new pivot is confirmed.
Profile Visualization : Profiles appear as filled shapes anchored at the pivot candle, colored based on trend.
Trendline Overlay : Thick, semi-transparent trendline provides visual guidance on directional bias.
Automatic Cleanup : Old profiles are deleted once they exceed the chart’s capacity (default 25 stored profiles).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spotting Trend Liquidity : In an uptrend, monitor profiles at low pivots to see where buyers concentrated. In downtrends, use high-pivot profiles to spot sell-side pressure.
Watch the PoC : The PoC line highlights the strongest traded level of the pivot structure—expect reactions when price retests it.
Anticipate Trend Continuation/Reversal : Use the trendline (blue = bullish, orange = bearish) together with pivot profiles to forecast directional momentum.
Combine with HTF Context : Overlay with higher timeframe structure (order blocks, liquidity zones, or FVGs) for confluence.
Fine-Tune with Inputs : Adjust Pivot Length for sensitivity and Trend Length for smoother or faster trend shifts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Trend Pivots Profile blends pivot-based structure with precise volume profiling. By dynamically plotting profiles on pivots aligned with the prevailing trend, highlighting PoCs, and overlaying a directional trendline, it equips traders with a clear view of liquidity clusters and directional momentum—ideal for anticipating reactions, pullbacks, or breakouts.
Quant Trend + Donchian (Educational, Public-Safe)What this does
Educational, public-safe visualization of a quant regime model:
• Trend : EMA(64) vs EMA(256) (EWMAC proxy)
• Breakout : Donchian channel (200)
• Volatility-awareness : internal z-scores (not plotted) for concept clarity
Why it’s useful
• Shows when trend & breakout align (clean regimes) vs conflict (chop)
• Helps explain why volatility-aware systems size up in smooth trends and scale down in noise
How to read it
• EMA64 above EMA256 with price near/above Donchian high → trend-following alignment
• EMA64 below EMA256 with price near/below Donchian low → bearish alignment
• Inside channel with EMAs tangled → range/chop risk

Nexus Drift | OquantOverview
Nexus Drift is a consensus-based trend tool designed to identify potential long opportunities in trending markets by aggregating signals from multiple technical components. It generates a composite score from seven distinct trend-detection methods, triggering a "LONG" allocation when the score meets a predefined threshold, and shifting to "CASH" otherwise. The script also includes optional visualizations such as an equity curve and performance tables displaying key risk-adjusted metrics like Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Omega ratio, maximum drawdown, and others for both the strategy and a buy-and-hold benchmark. This allows users to evaluate historical performance(remember past performance doesn’t guarantee future results) in a structured way. By combining diverse trend filters, the script aims to reduce noise and provide a more robust signal for trend-following approaches.
Key Factors/Components
The script incorporates seven complementary trend-detection components, each contributing to the overall consensus score:
MAD Median LSMA: A least-squares moving average filtered through a median and adjusted with median absolute deviation bands for outlier resistance.
Smoothed TEMA SD: A triple exponential moving average smoothed and bounded by standard deviation bands to capture trends without too much noise.
Z-Scored ALMA: An Arnaud legoux moving average normalized into a Z-score for trend strength assessment.
EMA Cross: A simple crossover between fast and slow exponential moving averages for basic trend direction.
RSI MA: A moving average of the Relative Strength Index to confirm bullish momentum in trends on a smoothed basis.
SMA SD SuperTrend: A SuperTrend variant using simple moving average and standard deviation for dynamic trailing levels.
WMA MAD Bands: A weighted moving average with median absolute deviation bands for weighted trend tracking with volatility adjustment.
How It Works
The script calculates individual signals from each component, assigning a value of +1 for long conditions, -1 for cash. These are averaged into a composite score, which triggers a long allocation if it meets or exceeds a threshold (0.5), or shifts to cash if equal or below a cash threshold (0). This consensus approach helps filter out conflicting signals, emphasizing agreement across methods to potentially improve reliability in sustained trends. Historical equity is simulated starting from a user-defined date, incorporating daily returns only during long allocations. Performance metrics are computed using standard formulas (e.g., Sharpe as average return over standard deviation, annualized; Sortino focusing on downside deviation; Omega as the ratio of sum positive to sum negative returns). Tables update in real-time on bar close on the chart for quick reference, but all calculations are based on historical data and do not predict future outcomes.
Recommended Use Cases
This script is best suited for trend-following traders or investors focusing on assets with strong directional moves, such as cryptocurrencies on daily or other timeframes. The tool's design was to work well in different markets and timeframes. It performs optimally in markets exhibiting prolonged trends rather than ranging, where consensus may lag or produce fewer/false signals. It is not ideal for short-term scalping, mean-reversion strategies, or assets with low liquidity, as the components are tuned for trend persistence.
Settings and Default Settings
The script includes several inputs for customization:
Strategy Start Date: Defines the backtesting start point (default: 1 Jan 2018). Use this to align with relevant historical periods, but note that shorter datasets may reduce metric reliability and also past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.
Show Strategy Metrics Table: Toggles the display of a table with metrics like max drawdown, intra-trade max drawdown, Sharpe, Sortino, Omega, percent profitable, profit factor, trades, and net profit (default: true).
Show Buy & Hold Table: Toggles a benchmark table with similar metrics for a passive buy-and-hold approach (default: true).
Plot Equity Curve: Displays the simulated strategy equity line (default: false).
Component-specific lengths and multipliers are fixed but chosen to balance responsiveness and smoothness across methods. The long threshold (0.5) requires the majority of the components to agree on a long signal. The script is optimized for daily crypto charts on trending assets, but tested on other timeframes/markets also.
Conclusion
Nexus Drift offers a structured way to gauge trend consensus through diversified components, providing actionable allocations and transparent metrics to support informed decision-making. By focusing on agreement across methods, it seeks to enhance trend detection while highlighting key performance metrics.

Apex Flow | OquantOverview
Apex Flow is a rotational allocation indicator designed for cryptocurrency traders seeking to dynamically shift capital between a selection of assets based on trend strength and relative performance. It aims to capture upside in trending markets while reducing exposure during weaker periods by incorporating a multi-factor trend detection system and a relative strength ranking mechanism. This tool is built to provide a structured approach to portfolio allocation in crypto environments, emphasizing risk management through trend confirmation and a built-in risk-on filter to avoid drawdowns in non-conducive conditions. Its originality lies in the ensemble of customized trend filters combined with pairwise relative strength comparisons, which together create a robust scoring system for asset selection—going beyond simple momentum or single-indicator rotations to offer a more nuanced, adaptive strategy.
Key Factors/Components
Multi-Trend Detection Ensemble: Utilizes a blend of moving average-based filters, deviation bands, and momentum oscillators to evaluate overall market trend direction.
Relative Strength Ranking: Compares assets pairwise to determine dominance, assigning scores that influence allocation priorities.
Allocation Splits: Supports configurable splits between the top-performing asset(s) and secondary ones, allowing for concentrated or diversified exposure.
risk-on Filter: Applies smoothing techniques to the simulated portfolio equity to confirm uptrend viability, acting as a macro-level risk overlay.
Performance Metrics and Visuals: Includes built-in tables for allocations, metrics (like Sharpe, Sortino, Omega ratios, max drawdown, and net profit), and an asset matrix for transparency in decision-making.
How It Works
The indicator first assesses each asset's trend state using an ensemble of seven trend-following components, each contributing to a composite score that signals whether the asset is in a bullish trend, or bearish trend. Thresholds determine when an asset qualifies for allocation (e.g., requiring a majority positive score for inclusion). Next, eligible assets are ranked via relative strength calculations derived from pairwise trend comparisons, producing a dominance score for each. The highest-scoring asset(s) receive primary allocation, with optional secondary allocation to the next tier based on user-defined splits (e.g., 80/20). Daily returns are then used to simulate a portfolio equity curve, which is filtered through multiple smoothing methods to ensure the overall strategy is in an "up" state before committing capital—otherwise, it defaults to cash. This process helps prioritize stronger assets while incorporating safeguards against prolonged downtrends, though it may lag in rapidly reversing markets due to its confirmatory nature.
For Who It Is Best/Recommended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for intermediate to advanced cryptocurrency traders who appreciate an active, systematic strategy for rotating capital across a basket of assets (e.g., major cryptos like BTC, ETH, SOL, and SUI). It's suited for medium-term on the 1D timeframe, where the ensemble of trend filters and relative strength rankings can identify and capitalize on multi-day to weekly momentum shifts in trending markets. Recommended for those actively managing diversified crypto portfolios to potentially outperform buy-and-hold benchmarks with controlled volatility. It's not optimized for short-term scalping (e.g., intraday), highly illiquid assets, or prolonged range-bound conditions, where its confirmatory logic may lead to delayed/false signals. Always integrate it with your own risk management practices.
Settings and Default Settings
Strategy Start Date: Timestamp for "1 Jan 2023" – Defines the backtest start; adjust to test different periods.
Assets: Asset 1 ("INDEX:BTCUSD"), Asset 2 ("INDEX:ETHUSD"), Asset 3 ("CRYPTO:SOLUSD"), Asset 4 ("CRYPTO:SUIUSD") – Select up to four cryptos; defaults focus on major ones.
Allocation Split: "100/0" – Options include 80/20, 70/30, 60/40; default fully allocates to the top asset(s).
Plot Equity Curves: Strategy equity and btc equity enabled by default – Toggle to visualize strategy and individual assets.
Show Tables: All enabled – Display allocation, metrics, and asset matrix for real-time insights.
Internal parameters like trend lengths and multipliers are fixed to balance sensitivity and reliability, optimized for daily crypto charts.
Conclusion
Apex Flow offers a systematic way to navigate crypto rotations by blending trend confirmation with relative strength, potentially enhancing returns in bullish cycles while preserving capital in others. Its ensemble approach and equity filter provide a layer of robustness not found in simpler rotators, making it a valuable addition for trend-oriented portfolios.

Fisher Transform Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Fisher Transform Trend Navigator applies a logarithmic transformation to normalize price data into a Gaussian distribution, then combines this with volatility-adaptive thresholds to create a trend detection system. This mathematical approach helps traders identify high-probability trend changes and reversal points while filtering market noise in the ever-changing volatility conditions.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's foundation begins with price normalization, where recent price action is scaled to a bounded range between -1 and +1:
highestHigh = ta.highest(priceSource, fisherPeriod)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(priceSource, fisherPeriod)
value1 = highestHigh != lowestLow ? 2 * (priceSource - lowestLow) / (highestHigh - lowestLow) - 1 : 0
value1 := math.max(-0.999, math.min(0.999, value1))
This normalized value then passes through the Fisher Transform calculation, which applies a logarithmic function to convert the data into a Gaussian normal distribution that naturally amplifies price extremes and turning points:
fisherTransform = 0.5 * math.log((1 + value1) / (1 - value1))
smoothedFisher = ta.ema(fisherTransform, fisherSmoothing)
The smoothed Fisher signal is then integrated with an exponential moving average to create a hybrid trend line that balances statistical precision with price-following behavior:
baseTrend = ta.ema(close, basePeriod)
fisherAdjustment = smoothedFisher * fisherSensitivity * close
fisherTrend = baseTrend + fisherAdjustment
To filter out false signals and adapt to market conditions, the system calculates dynamic threshold bands using volatility measurements:
dynamicRange = ta.atr(volatilityPeriod)
threshold = dynamicRange * volatilityMultiplier
upperThreshold = fisherTrend + threshold
lowerThreshold = fisherTrend - threshold
When price momentum pushes through these thresholds, the trend line locks onto the new level and maintains direction until the opposite threshold is breached:
if upperThreshold < trendLine
trendLine := upperThreshold
if lowerThreshold > trendLine
trendLine := lowerThreshold
🟢 Signal Interpretation
Bullish Candles (Green): indicate normalized price distribution favoring bulls with sustained buying momentum = Long/Buy opportunities
Bearish Candles (Red): indicate normalized price distribution favoring bears with sustained selling pressure = Short/Sell opportunities
Upper Band Zone: Area above middle level indicating statistically elevated trend strength with potential overbought conditions approaching mean reversion zones
Lower Band Zone: Area below middle level indicating statistically depressed trend strength with potential oversold conditions approaching mean reversion zones
Built-in Alert System: Automated notifications trigger when bullish or bearish states change, allowing you to act on significant developments without constantly monitoring the charts
Candle Coloring: Optional feature applies trend colors to price bars for visual consistency and clarity
Configuration Presets: Three parameter sets available - Default (balanced settings), Scalping (faster response with higher sensitivity), and Swing Trading (slower response with enhanced smoothing)
Color Customization: Four color schemes including Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, and Custom options for personalized chart aesthetics
Laguerre Filter Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Laguerre Filter Trend Navigator employs advanced polynomial filtering mathematics to smooth price data while minimizing lag, creating a responsive yet stable trend-following system. Unlike simple moving averages that apply equal weight to historical data, the Laguerre filter uses recursive calculations with exponentially weighted polynomials to extract meaningful directional signals from noisy market conditions. Combined with dynamic volatility-adjusted boundaries, this creates an adaptive framework for identifying high-probability trend reversals and continuations across all tradable instruments and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator leverages Laguerre polynomial filtering, a mathematical technique originally developed for digital signal processing applications. The core mechanism processes price data through four cascaded filter stages (L0, L1, L2, L3), each applying the gamma coefficient to recursively smooth incoming information while preserving phase relationships. This multi-stage architecture eliminates random fluctuations more effectively than traditional moving averages while responding quickly to genuine directional shifts.
The gamma coefficient serves as the primary smoothing control, determining how aggressively the filter dampens noise versus tracking price movements. Lower gamma values reduce smoothing and increase filter responsiveness, while higher values prioritize stability over reaction speed. Each filter stage compounds this effect, creating progressively smoother output that converges toward true underlying trend direction.
Surrounding the filtered price line, the algorithm constructs adaptive boundaries using dynamic volatility regime measurements. These calculations quantify current market turbulence independently of direction, expanding during active trading periods and contracting during quiet phases. By multiplying this volatility assessment by a user-defined scaling factor, the system creates self-adjusting bands that automatically conform to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
The trend-following engine monitors price position relative to these volatility-adjusted boundaries. When the upper band falls below the current trend line, the system shifts downward to track bearish momentum. Conversely, when the lower band rises above the trend line, it elevates to follow bullish movement. These crossover events trigger color transitions between bullish (green) and bearish (red) states, providing clear visual confirmation of directional changes validated by volatility-normalized thresholds.
🟢 How to Use
Green/Bullish Trend Line: Laguerre filter positioned in upward trajectory, indicating momentum-confirmed conditions favorable for establishing or maintaining long positions (buy)
Red/Bearish Trend Line: Laguerre filter trending downward, signaling regime-validated environment suitable for initiating or holding short positions (sell)
Rising Green Line: Accelerating bullish filter with expanding separation from price lows, demonstrating strengthening upward momentum and increasing confidence in trend persistence with optimal long entry timing
Declining Red Line: Steepening bearish filter creating growing distance from price highs, revealing intensifying downside pressure and enhanced probability of continued decline with favorable short positioning opportunities
Flattening Trends: Horizontal or oscillating filter movement regardless of color suggests directional uncertainty where price action contradicts filter positioning, potentially indicating consolidation phases or impending volatility expansion requiring cautious trade management
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
→ Preset Selection Framework: Match presets to your trading style - Scalping preset employs aggressive gamma (0.4) with tight volatility bands (1.0x) for rapid signal generation on sub-15-minute charts, Day Trading preset balances responsiveness and stability for hourly timeframes, while Swing Trading preset maximizes smoothing (0.8 gamma) with wide bands (2.5x) to filter intraday noise on daily and weekly charts.
→ Gamma Coefficient Calibration: Adjust gamma based on market personality - reduce values (0.3-0.5) for highly liquid, fast-moving assets like major currency pairs and tech stocks where quick filter adaptation prevents lag-induced losses, increase values (0.7-0.9) for slower instruments or trending markets where excessive sensitivity generates false reversals and whipsaw trades.
→ Volatility Period Optimization: Tailor the volatility measurement window to information cycles. Deploy shorter lookback periods (7-10) for instruments with rapid regime changes like individual equities during earnings seasons, standard periods (14-20) for balanced assessment across general market conditions, and extended periods (21-30) for commodities and indices exhibiting persistent volatility characteristics.
→ Band Width Multiplier Adaptation: Scale boundary distance to current market phase. Contract multipliers (1.0-1.5) during range-bound consolidations to capture early breakout signals as soon as genuine momentum emerges, expand multipliers (2.0-3.0) during trending markets or high-volatility events to avoid premature exits caused by normal retracement activity rather than authentic reversals.
→ Multi-Timeframe Filter Alignment: Implement the indicator across multiple timeframes, using higher intervals (4H/Daily) to identify primary trend direction via filter slope and lower intervals (15min/1H) for precision entry timing when filter colors align, ensuring trades flow with dominant momentum while optimizing execution at favorable price levels.
→ Alert-Driven Systematic Execution: Configure trend change alerts to capture every filter-validated directional shift from bullish to bearish conditions or vice versa, enabling consistent signal response without continuous chart monitoring and eliminating emotional decision-making during critical transition moments.
Trade PullBack - EMA Pullback System with Auto Risk-Reward# Trade Pull Back - Professional Pullback Trading System
## 📊 Overview
**Trade Pull Back** is a comprehensive pullback trading system that combines trend-following principles with precise entry timing using candlestick pattern confirmation. This indicator is designed for traders who want to enter trending markets at optimal retracement levels with pre-calculated risk-reward ratios.
---
## 🎯 Core Methodology
### Why This System Works
Most traders struggle with two key challenges:
1. **Entering too early** - jumping into trades before the pullback completes
2. **Entering too late** - missing the momentum after the pullback reverses
This system solves both problems by using a **3-Phase Confirmation Process**:
**Phase 1: Trend Identification** → **Phase 2: Pullback Detection** → **Phase 3: Reversal Confirmation**
---
## 🔧 How It Works
### 1. Triple EMA Framework (The Foundation)
Unlike traditional single EMA systems, this indicator uses **3 separate EMAs** with different purposes:
- **EMA Trend (default: 50)** - Determines the overall market direction
- Source: HL/2 for balanced trend reading
- Acts as the primary filter - we only trade in its direction
- **EMA High (default: 20)** - Dynamic resistance in uptrends
- Source: High prices for accurate resistance mapping
- Entry trigger for bullish setups when price closes above it
- **EMA Low (default: 20)** - Dynamic support in downtrends
- Source: Low prices for accurate support mapping
- Entry trigger for bearish setups when price closes below it
**Why 3 EMAs?**
- Single EMA can't distinguish between trend and pullback zones
- Two EMAs (like MACD) don't provide clear entry/exit levels
- Three EMAs create a **channel system** that identifies both trend direction AND optimal entry zones
### 2. Pattern Recognition Engine
The system detects two high-probability reversal patterns:
#### Engulfing Patterns
- **Bullish Engulfing**: Previous bearish candle completely engulfed by bullish candle
- **Bearish Engulfing**: Previous bullish candle completely engulfed by bearish candle
- Validates: Strong momentum reversal with volume confirmation
#### Pin Bar Patterns
- **Bullish Pin Bar (Hammer)**: Long lower wick (60%+ of total range) rejecting lower prices
- **Bearish Pin Bar (Inverted Hammer)**: Long upper wick (60%+ of total range) rejecting higher prices
- Validates: Institutional rejection at support/resistance levels
**Pattern Quality Filter:**
- Body-to-wick ratio must meet minimum standards
- Checks previous candle momentum
- Requires trend alignment before signaling
### 3. Pullback Confirmation System
The system includes **5 mandatory conditions** before generating a signal:
#### For Bullish Signals (BUY):
1. ✅ Close > EMA Trend (uptrend confirmed)
2. ✅ EMA High > EMA Trend AND EMA Low > EMA Trend (healthy trend structure)
3. ✅ Bullish Engulfing OR Bullish Pin Bar (pattern detected)
4. ✅ Close > EMA High (breakout confirmation)
5. ✅ Optional: Low < EMA High (pullback occurred)
#### For Bearish Signals (SELL):
1. ✅ Close < EMA Trend (downtrend confirmed)
2. ✅ EMA High < EMA Trend AND EMA Low < EMA Trend (healthy trend structure)
3. ✅ Bearish Engulfing OR Bearish Pin Bar (pattern detected)
4. ✅ Close < EMA Low (breakdown confirmation)
5. ✅ Optional: High > EMA Low (pullback occurred)
**Additional Filters:**
- **Consecutive Bars Check**: Ensures pullback had momentum (1-5 bearish/bullish bars)
- **Signal Spacing**: Minimum 4 bars between signals to avoid noise
- **Confirmation Delay**: Signal appears only AFTER bar closes (no repainting)
---
## 💰 Automatic Risk-Reward Calculator
### Smart Position Sizing
When a signal triggers, the system automatically calculates:
**For Long Positions:**
- **Entry**: High of signal candle
- **Stop Loss**: Lower of last 2 candle lows (protects against false breakouts)
- **Target 1 (1R)**: Entry + 1x Risk
- **Target 2 (2R)**: Entry + 2x Risk
- **Target 3 (3R)**: Entry + 3x Risk
**For Short Positions:**
- **Entry**: Low of signal candle
- **Stop Loss**: Higher of last 2 candle highs
- **Targets**: Calculated based on risk multiple
### Auto-Remove Feature
Lines and labels automatically disappear when:
- Price hits Stop Loss (trade invalidated)
- Price reaches 3R target (trade complete)
This keeps your chart clean and focuses only on active trades.

# Trade Pull Back - คู่มือภาษาไทย
## 📊 ภาพรวม
**Trade Pull Back** เป็นระบบเทรด Pullback ที่ผสมผสานการเทรดตามเทรนด์กับการจับจังหวะเข้าออเดอร์ด้วย Candlestick Pattern พร้อมคำนวณ Risk-Reward อัตโนมัติ
---
## 🎯 หลักการทำงาน
### ทำไมระบบนี้ได้ผล?
แก้ปัญหา 2 ข้อหลักของเทรดเดอร์:
1. **เข้าเร็วเกินไป** - เข้าก่อน Pullback เสร็จ
2. **เข้าช้าเกินไป** - พลาดโมเมนตัมหลังกลับตัว
**วิธีแก้**: ใช้กระบวนการยืนยัน 3 ขั้นตอน
- **ขั้น 1**: ระบุเทรนด์ → **ขั้น 2**: ตรวจจับ Pullback → **ขั้น 3**: ยืนยันการกลับตัว
---
## 🔧 ส่วนประกอบหลัก
### 1. ระบบ EMA 3 เส้น
ต่างจาก EMA ทั่วไป ระบบนี้ใช้ 3 เส้นที่มีหน้าที่แยกกัน:
- **EMA Trend (50)** - กำหนดทิศทางเทรนด์หลัก
- **EMA High (20)** - แนวต้านไดนามิก (สำหรับ Buy)
- **EMA Low (20)** - แนวรับไดนามิก (สำหรับ Sell)
**ทำไมต้อง 3 เส้น?**
- 1 เส้น = แยกเทรนด์กับ Pullback ไม่ได้
- 2 เส้น = ไม่มีจุด Entry/Exit ชัดเจน
- 3 เส้น = สร้าง Channel ที่บอกทั้งเทรนด์และโซนเข้าออเดอร์
### 2. ตรวจจับ Pattern
ระบบตรวจจับ 2 Pattern หลัก:
**Engulfing (แท่งกลืน)**
- Bullish: แท่งเขียวกลืนแท่งแดงทั้งหมด
- Bearish: แท่งแดงกลืนแท่งเขียวทั้งหมด
**Pin Bar (แท่งหาง)**
- Bullish: หางล่างยาว 60%+ ของช่วงทั้งหมด
- Bearish: หางบนยาว 60%+ ของช่วงทั้งหมด
### 3. เงื่อนไขยืนยันสัญญาณ (5 ข้อ)
**สัญญาณ Buy:**
1. ✅ ราคาปิด > EMA Trend (เทรนด์ขาขึ้น)
2. ✅ EMA High และ Low เหนือ EMA Trend (โครงสร้างดี)

Pivot Trend Flow [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Pivot Trend Flow turns raw swing points into a clean, adaptive trend band. It averages recent pivot highs and lows to form two dynamic reference levels; when price crosses above the averaged highs, trend flips bullish and a green band is drawn; when it crosses below the averaged lows, trend flips bearish and a red band is drawn. During an uptrend the script highlights breakouts of previous pivot highs with ▲ labels, and during a downtrend it flags breakdowns of previous pivot lows with ▼ labels—making structure shifts and continuation signals obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Based Averages : Recent pivot highs/lows are collected and averaged to create smoothed upper/lower reference levels.
if not na(ph)
phArray.push(ph)
if not na(pl)
plArray.push(pl)
if phArray.size() > avgWindow
upper := phArray.avg()
phArray.shift()
if plArray.size() > avgWindow
lower := plArray.avg()
plArray.shift()
Trend State via Crosses : Close above the averaged-highs ⇒ bullish trend; close below the averaged-lows ⇒ bearish trend.
Trend Band : A colored band (green/red) is plotted and optionally filled to visualize the active regime around price.
Structure Triggers :
In bull mode the tool watches for prior pivot-high breakouts (▲).
In bear mode it watches for prior pivot-low breakdowns (▼).
🔵 FEATURES
Adaptive Trend Detection from averaged pivot highs/lows.
Clear Visuals : Green band in uptrends, red band in downtrends; optional fill for quick read.
Breakout/Breakdown Labels :
▲ marks breaks of previous pivot highs in uptrends
▼ marks breaks of previous pivot lows in downtrends
Minimal Clutter : Uses compact lines and labels that extend only on confirmation.
Customizable Colors & Fill for trend states and band styling.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Pivot Length : Sets how swing points are detected. Smaller = more reactive; larger = smoother.
Avg Window (pivots) : How many recent pivot highs/lows are averaged. Increase to stabilize the band; decrease for agility.
Read the Band :
Green band active ⇒ prioritize longs, pullback buys toward the band.
Red band active ⇒ prioritize shorts, pullback sells toward the band.
Trade the Triggers :
In bull mode, ▲ on a prior pivot-high break can confirm continuation.
In bear mode, ▼ on a prior pivot-low break can confirm continuation.
Combine with Context : Use HTF trend, S/R, or volume for confluence and to filter signals.
Fill Color Toggle : Enable/disable band fill to match your chart style.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Pivot Trend Flow converts swing structure into an actionable, low-lag trend framework. By blending averaged pivots with clean breakout/breakdown labels, it clarifies trend direction, timing, and continuation spots—ideal as a core bias tool or a confirmation layer in any trading system.
