Uptrick: Volatility Weighted CloudIntroduction
The Volatility Weighted Cloud (VWC) is a trend-tracking overlay that combines adaptive volatility-based bands with a multi-source smoothed price cloud to visualize market bias. It provides users with a dynamic structure that adapts to volatility conditions while maintaining a persistent visual record of trend direction. By incorporating configurable smoothing techniques, percentile-ranked volatility, and multi-line cloud construction, the indicator allows traders to interpret price context more effectively without relying on raw price movement alone.
Overview
The script builds a smoothed price basis using the open, and close prices independently, and uses these to construct a layered visual cloud. This cloud serves both as a reference for price structure and a potential area of dynamic support and resistance. Alongside this cloud, adaptive upper and lower bands are plotted using volatility that scales with percentile rank. When price closes above or below these bands, the script interprets that as a breakout and updates the trend bias accordingly.
Candle coloring is persistent and reflects the most recent confirmed signal. Labels can optionally be placed on the chart when the trend bias flips, giving traders additional visual reference points. The indicator is designed to be both flexible and visually compact, supporting different strategies and timeframes through its detailed configuration options.
Originality
This script introduces originality through its combined use of percentile-ranked volatility, adaptive envelope sizing, and multi-source cloud construction. Unlike static-band indicators, the Volatility Weighted Cloud adjusts its band width based on where current volatility ranks within a defined lookback range. This dynamic scaling allows for smoother signal behavior during low-volatility environments and more responsive behavior during high-volatility phases.
Additionally, instead of using a single basis line, the indicator computes two separate smoothed lines for open and close. These are rendered into a shaded visual cloud that reflects price structure more completely than traditional moving average overlays. The use of ALMA and MAD, both less commonly applied in volatility-band overlays, adds further control over smoothing behavior and volatility measurement, enhancing its adaptability across different market types.
Inputs
Group: Core
Basis Length (short-term): The number of bars used for calculating the primary basis line. Affects how quickly the basis responds to price changes.
Basis Type: Option to choose between EMA and ALMA. EMA provides a standard exponential average; ALMA offers a centered, Gaussian-weighted average with reduced lag.
ALMA Offset: Determines the balance point of the ALMA window. Only applies when ALMA is selected.
Sigma: Sets the width of the ALMA smoothing window, influencing how much smoothing is applied.
Basis Smoothing EMA: Adds additional EMA-based smoothing to the computed basis line for noise reduction.
Group: Volatility & Bands
Volatility: Choose between StDev (standard deviation) and MAD (median absolute deviation) for measuring price volatility.
Vol Length (short-term): Length of the window used for calculating volatility.
Vol Smoothing EMA: Smooths the raw volatility value to stabilize band behavior.
Min Multiplier: Minimum multiplier applied to volatility when forming the adaptive bands.
Max Multiplier: Maximum multiplier applied at high volatility percentile.
Volatility Rank Lookback: Number of bars used to calculate the percentile rank of current volatility.
Show Adaptive Bands: Enables or disables the display of upper and lower volatility bands on the chart.
Group: Trend Switch Labels
Show Trend Switch Labels: Toggles the appearance of labels when the trend direction changes.
Label Anchor: Defines whether the labels are anchored to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line.
ATR Length (offset): Length used for calculating ATR, which determines label offset distance.
ATR Offset (multiplier): Multiplies the ATR value to place labels away from price bars for better visibility.
Label Size: Allows selection of label size (tiny to huge) to suit different chart setups.
Features
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The indicator calculates volatility using either standard deviation or MAD. It then applies an EMA smoothing layer and scales the band width dynamically based on the percentile rank of volatility over a user-defined lookback window. This avoids fixed-width bands and allows the indicator to adapt to changing volatility regimes in real time.
Volatility Method Options: Users can switch between two volatility measurement methods:
➤ Standard Deviation (StDev): Captures overall price dispersion, but may be sensitive to spikes.
➤ Median Absolute Deviation (MAD): A more robust measure that reduces the effect of outliers, making the bands less jumpy during erratic price behavior.
Basis Type Options: The core price basis used for cloud and bands can be built from:
➤ Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Fast-reacting and widely used in trend systems.
➤ Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA): A smoother, more centered alternative that offers greater control through offset and sigma parameters.
Multi-Line Basis Cloud: The cloud is formed by plotting two individually smoothed basis lines from open and close prices. A filled area is created between the open and close basis lines. This cloud serves as a dynamic support or resistance zone, allowing users to identify possible reversal areas. Price moving through or rejecting from the cloud can be interpreted contextually, especially when combined with band-based signals.
Persistent Trend Bias Coloring: The indicator uses the last confirmed breakout (above upper band or below lower band) to determine bias. This bias is reflected in the color of every subsequent candle, offering a persistent visual cue until a new signal is triggered. It helps simplify trend recognition, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
Trend Switch Labels: When enabled, the script places labeled markers at the exact bar where the bias direction switches. Labels are anchored either to recent highs/lows or to the main basis line, and spaced vertically using an ATR-based offset. This allows the trader to quickly locate historical trend transitions.
Alert Conditions: Two built-in alert conditions are available:
➤ Long Signal: Triggered when the close crosses above the upper adaptive band.
➤ Short Signal: Triggered when the close crosses below the lower adaptive band.
These conditions can be used for custom alerts, automation, or external signaling tools.
Display Control and Flexibility: Users can disable the adaptive bands for a cleaner layout while keeping the basis cloud and candle coloring active. The indicator can be tuned for fast or slow response depending on the strategy in use, and is suitable for intraday, swing, or position trading.
Summary
The Volatility Weighted Cloud is a configurable trend-following overlay that uses adaptive volatility bands and a structured cloud system to help visualize market bias. By combining EMA or ALMA smoothing with percentile-ranked volatility and a four-line price structure, it provides a flexible and informative charting layer. Its key strengths lie in the use of dynamic envelopes, visually persistent trend indication, and clearly defined breakout zones that adapt to current volatility conditions.

BOCS AdaptiveBOCS Adaptive Strategy - Automated Volatility Breakout System
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated trading strategy that detects consolidation patterns through volatility analysis and executes trades when price breaks out of these channels. Take-profit and stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to current market volatility. The strategy closes positions partially at the first profit target and exits the remainder at the second target or stop loss.
TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
Price Normalization Process:
The strategy begins by normalizing price to create a consistent measurement scale. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). The current close price is then normalized using the formula: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low). This produces values between 0 and 1, allowing volatility analysis to work consistently across different instruments and price levels.
Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series. Standard deviation measures how much prices deviate from their average - higher values indicate volatility expansion, lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() functions to track when volatility reaches peaks and troughs over the detection length period (default 14 bars).
Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level, this signals the beginning of a consolidation phase. The strategy records this moment using ta.crossover(upper, lower) and begins tracking the highest and lowest prices during the consolidation. These become the channel boundaries. The duration between the crossover and current bar must exceed 10 bars minimum to avoid false channels from brief volatility spikes. Channels are drawn using box objects with the recorded high/low boundaries.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Two detection modes are available:
Strong Closes Mode (default): Breakout occurs when the candle body midpoint math.avg(close, open) exceeds the channel boundary. This filters out wick-only breaks.
Any Touch Mode: Breakout occurs when the close price exceeds the boundary.
When price closes above the upper channel boundary, a bullish breakout signal generates. When price closes below the lower boundary, a bearish breakout signal generates. The channel is then removed from the chart.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
The strategy uses request.security() to fetch ATR values from a specified timeframe, which can differ from the chart timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, you can use 1-minute ATR for more responsive calculations. The ATR is calculated using ta.atr(length) with a user-defined period (default 14).
Exit levels are calculated at the moment of breakout:
Long Entry Price = Upper channel boundary
Long TP1 = Entry + (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Long TP2 = Entry + (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Long SL = Entry - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
For short trades, the calculation inverts:
Short Entry Price = Lower channel boundary
Short TP1 = Entry - (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Short TP2 = Entry - (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Short SL = Entry + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Trade Execution Logic:
When a breakout occurs, the strategy checks if trading hours filter is satisfied (if enabled) and if position size equals zero (no existing position). If volume confirmation is enabled, it also verifies that current volume exceeds 1.2 times the 20-period simple moving average.
If all conditions are met:
strategy.entry() opens a position using the user-defined number of contracts
strategy.exit() immediately places a stop loss order
The code monitors price against TP1 and TP2 levels on each bar
When price reaches TP1, strategy.close() closes the specified number of contracts (e.g., if you enter with 3 contracts and set TP1 close to 1, it closes 1 contract). When price reaches TP2, it closes all remaining contracts. If stop loss is hit first, the entire position exits via the strategy.exit() order.
Volume Analysis System:
The strategy uses ta.requestUpAndDownVolume(timeframe) to fetch up volume, down volume, and volume delta from a specified timeframe. Three display modes are available:
Volume Mode: Shows total volume as bars scaled relative to the 20-period average
Comparison Mode: Shows up volume and down volume as separate bars above/below the channel midline
Delta Mode: Shows net volume delta (up volume - down volume) as bars, positive values above midline, negative below
The volume confirmation logic compares breakout bar volume to the 20-period SMA. If volume ÷ average > 1.2, the breakout is classified as "confirmed." When volume confirmation is enabled in settings, only confirmed breakouts generate trades.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Strategy Settings:
Number of Contracts: Fixed quantity to trade per signal (1-1000)
Require Volume Confirmation: Toggle to only trade signals with volume >120% of average
TP1 Close Contracts: Exact number of contracts to close at first target (1-1000)
Use Trading Hours Filter: Toggle to restrict trading to specified session
Trading Hours: Session input in HHMM-HHMM format (e.g., "0930-1600")
Main Settings:
Normalization Length: Lookback bars for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
Box Detection Length: Period for volatility peak/trough detection (1-100, default 14)
Strong Closes Only: Toggle between body midpoint vs close price for breakout detection
Nested Channels: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel at a time
ATR TP/SL Settings:
ATR Timeframe: Source timeframe for ATR calculation (1, 5, 15, 60, etc.)
ATR Length: Smoothing period for ATR (1-100, default 14)
Take Profit 1 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 2.0)
Take Profit 2 Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 3.0)
Stop Loss Multiplier: Distance from entry as multiple of ATR (0.1-10.0, default 1.0)
Enable Take Profit 2: Toggle second profit target on/off
VISUAL INDICATORS:
Channel boxes with semi-transparent fill showing consolidation zones
Green/red colored zones at channel boundaries indicating breakout areas
Volume bars displayed within channels using selected mode
TP/SL lines with labels showing both price level and distance in points
Entry signals marked with up/down triangles at breakout price
Strategy status table showing position, contracts, P&L, ATR values, and volume confirmation status
HOW TO USE:
For 2-Minute Scalping:
Set ATR Timeframe to "1" (1-minute), ATR Length to 12, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Enable volume confirmation and strong closes only. Use trading hours filter to avoid low-volume periods.
For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to match chart or use 5-minute, ATR Length to 14, TP1 Multiplier to 2.0, TP2 Multiplier to 3.5, SL Multiplier to 1.2. Volume confirmation recommended but optional.
For Hourly+ Swing Trading:
Set ATR Timeframe to 15-30 minute, ATR Length to 14-21, TP1 Multiplier to 2.5, TP2 Multiplier to 4.0, SL Multiplier to 1.5. Volume confirmation optional, nested channels can be enabled for multiple setups.
BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
Strategy performs best during trending or volatility expansion phases
Consolidation-heavy or choppy markets produce more false signals
Shorter timeframes require wider stop loss multipliers due to noise
Commission and slippage significantly impact performance on sub-5-minute charts
Volume confirmation generally improves win rate but reduces trade frequency
ATR multipliers should be optimized for specific instrument characteristics
COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price and volume data including forex pairs, stock indices, individual stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities, and futures contracts. Requires TradingView data feed that includes volume for volume confirmation features to function.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Stop losses execute via strategy.exit() and may not fill at exact levels during gaps or extreme volatility
request.security() on lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription
False breakouts inherent to breakout strategies cannot be completely eliminated
Performance varies significantly based on market regime (trending vs ranging)
Partial closing logic requires sufficient position size relative to TP1 close contracts setting
RISK DISCLOSURE:

Trend ScalperThe Trend Scalper is a simple EMA-based trend-following and scalping indicator designed to help traders identify potential long and short trading opportunities on any timeframe. It uses a three-EMA strategy to filter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend while refining entry signals based on price reactions to the EMAs.
Here’s how it works:
It calculates three Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with customizable lengths (default: 9, 21, and 89).
A long signal is generated when the EMAs align in bullish order (EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3) and the price low dips into the zone between EMA1 and EMA2. This indicates a pullback into short-term support while the broader trend remains bullish.
A short signal is generated when the EMAs align in bearish order (EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3) and the price high rises into the zone between EMA1 and EMA2. This indicates a pullback into resistance within a bearish trend.
The EMAs are plotted on the chart for visual guidance, while buy and sell signals are displayed as up and down triangles directly on price bars.
Best use practices:
The indicator works best as a trend continuation scalping tool, aiming to join established market direction after minor pullbacks.
It is most effective on liquid assets and in trending market conditions. Avoid relying on signals during sideways or choppy markets.
For confirmation, combine with volume, momentum oscillators, or higher timeframe trend analysis.
Risk management is critical: consider setting stop losses beyond EMA zones or recent swing highs/lows, and use take profits that match your risk-reward plan.
This indicator provides clean, rule-based signals that help traders time entries within the broader context of the trend. It is not a standalone strategy but a tool to assist in disciplined trade execution.

BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale

TRP Stop-Loss_Trailing SL# TRP Stop-Loss Indicator
## Overview
The TRP (True Range Percentage) Stop-Loss indicator is an advanced volatility-based stop-loss tool that provides dynamic position protection based on market volatility. Unlike traditional ATR-based indicators, TRP calculates volatility as a percentage of price, offering superior adaptability across different price ranges and market conditions.
## What is TRP and Why It's Superior to ATR
### TRP (True Range Percentage)
TRP calculates the true range as a percentage of the closing price, providing a **normalized volatility measure**. The formula is:
```
TRP = (True Range / Close) × 100
```
### Key Advantages of TRP over ATR:
1. **Price-Normalized Volatility**: TRP automatically adjusts for different price levels, making it equally effective whether you're trading a $10 stock or a $1000 stock.
2. **Percentage-Based Risk**: TRP gives you direct percentage risk values, making position sizing and risk management more intuitive.
3. **Better Cross-Market Comparison**: Unlike ATR, TRP allows you to compare volatility across different instruments on an equal basis.
4. **Adaptive to Market Conditions**: TRP naturally scales with price movements, providing more relevant stop-loss levels during trending markets.
5. **Consistent Risk Exposure**: Maintains consistent percentage risk regardless of the underlying asset's price level.

BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System# BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System
## WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated mean reversion trading strategy that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and executes scalp trades when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. Unlike breakout strategies, this system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, taking profits as price bounces back from extremes. Position sizing is fully customizable with three methods: fixed contracts, percentage of equity, or fixed dollar amount. Stop losses are placed just outside channel boundaries with take profits calculated either as fixed points or as a percentage of channel range.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This strategy is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Version**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the scalper ideal for active day traders who want continuous opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased trade frequency also means higher commission costs and requires tighter risk management.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The strategy normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The strategy tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The strategy uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. This captures mean reversion opportunities as price reaches channel extremes.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents signal spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long signal will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The strategy includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid trading during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while trading on 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Trading enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No signals fire
This prevents entries during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement.
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. Larger percentages aim for opposite channel edge.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are placed just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. If price breaks through, the range is no longer valid and position exits.
### Trade Execution Logic:
When entry conditions are met (price in zone, cooldown satisfied, ATR filter passed, no existing position):
1. Calculate entry price at zone boundary
2. Calculate TP and SL based on selected method
3. Execute strategy.entry() with calculated position size
4. Place strategy.exit() with TP limit and SL stop orders
5. Update info table with active trade details
The strategy enforces one position at a time by checking strategy.position_size == 0 before entry.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
### Position Sizing System:
Three methods calculate position size:
**Fixed Contracts**:
- Uses exact contract quantity specified in settings
- Best for futures traders (e.g., "trade 2 NQ contracts")
**Percentage of Equity**:
- position_size = (strategy.equity × equity_pct / 100) / close
- Dynamically scales with account growth
**Cash Amount**:
- position_size = cash_amount / close
- Maintains consistent dollar exposure regardless of price
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Position Sizing:
- **Position Size Type**: Choose Fixed Contracts, % of Equity, or Cash Amount
- **Number of Contracts**: Fixed quantity per trade (1-1000)
- **% of Equity**: Percentage of account to allocate (1-100%)
- **Cash Amount**: Dollar value per position ($100+)
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel
- **Normalization Length**: Lookback for high/low calculation (1-500, default 100)
- **Box Detection Length**: Period for volatility detection (1-100, default 14)
### Scalping Settings:

- **Enable Short Scalps**: Toggle short entries on/off
- **Entry Zone % from Edge**: Size of entry zone (5-50%, default 20%)
- **SL Offset (Ticks)**: Distance beyond channel for stop (1+, default 5)
- **Cooldown Period (Bars)**: Minimum spacing between signals (0 = no cooldown)
### ATR Filter:
- **Enable ATR Filter**: Toggle volatility filter on/off
- **ATR Timeframe**: Source timeframe for ATR (1, 5, 15, 60 min, etc.)
- **ATR Length**: Smoothing period (1-100, default 14)
- **Min ATR Value**: Threshold for trade enablement (0.1+, default 10.0)
### Take Profit Settings:
- **TP Method**: Choose Fixed Points or % of Channel
- **TP Fixed (Ticks)**: Static distance in ticks (1+, default 30)
- **TP % of Channel**: Dynamic target as channel percentage (10-100%, default 50%)

- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars
- Position Size: 1-2 contracts
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- Position Size: Fixed contracts or 5-10% equity
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- Position Size: % of equity recommended
## BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
- Strategy performs best in ranging, mean-reverting markets
- Strong trending markets produce more stop losses as price breaks channels
- ATR filter significantly reduces trade count but improves quality during low volatility
- Cooldown period trades signal quantity for signal quality
- Commission and slippage materially impact sub-5-minute timeframe performance
- Shorter timeframes require tighter entry zones (15-20%) to catch quick reversions
- % of Channel TP adapts better to varying channel sizes than fixed points
- Fixed contract sizing recommended for consistent risk per trade in futures
**Backtesting Parameters Used**: This strategy was developed and tested using realistic commission and slippage values to provide accurate performance expectations. Recommended settings: Commission of $1.40 per side (typical for NQ futures through discount brokers), slippage of 2 ticks to account for execution delays on fast-moving scalp entries. These values reflect real-world trading costs that active scalpers will encounter. Backtest results without proper cost simulation will significantly overstate profitability.
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features require data feed with volume information but are optional for core functionality.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- Immediate touch entry can fire multiple times in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- ATR filter from lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription (request.security limitation)
- Mean reversion logic fails in strong breakout scenarios leading to stop loss hits
- Position sizing via % of equity or cash amount calculates based on close price, may differ from actual fill price
- No partial closing capability - full position exits at TP or SL only
- Strategy does not account for gap openings or overnight holds
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is for educational purposes and backtesting only. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Automated trading systems can malfunction - monitor all live positions actively.

Stop ATR [TheAlphaGroup]The Stop ATR is a volatility-based trailing stop that adapts dynamically to market conditions.
It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to plot a continuous “stair-step” line:
• In uptrend, the stop appears below price as a green line, rising with volatility.
• In downtrend, the stop appears above price as a red line, falling with volatility.
Unlike fixed stops, the Stop ATR never moves backward. It only trails in the direction of the trend, locking in profits while leaving room for price to move.
Key features:
• ATR-based trailing stop that adapts to volatility.
• Clean “one line only” design — no overlap of signals.
• Adjustable ATR period and multiplier for flexibility.
• Color-coded visualization for quick trend recognition.
How traders use it:
• Manage trades with volatility-adjusted stop placement (trailing stop).
• Identify trend reversals when price closes across the stop.
• Combine with other entry signals for a complete strategy.

RSI ROC Signals with Price Action# RSI ROC Signals with Price Action
## Overview
The RSI ROC (Rate of Change) Signals indicator is an advanced momentum-based trading system that combines RSI velocity analysis with price action confirmation to generate high-probability buy and sell signals. This indicator goes beyond traditional RSI analysis by measuring the speed of RSI changes and requiring price confirmation before triggering signals.
## Core Concept: RSI Rate of Change (ROC)
### What is RSI ROC?
RSI ROC measures the **velocity** or **acceleration** of the RSI indicator, providing insights into momentum shifts before they become apparent in traditional RSI readings.
**Formula**: `RSI ROC = ((Current RSI - Previous RSI) / Previous RSI) × 100`
### Why RSI ROC is Superior to Standard RSI:
1. **Early Momentum Detection**: Identifies momentum shifts before RSI reaches traditional overbought/oversold levels
2. **Velocity Analysis**: Measures the speed of momentum changes, not just absolute levels
3. **Reduced False Signals**: Filters out weak momentum moves that don't sustain
4. **Dynamic Thresholds**: Adapts to market volatility rather than using fixed RSI levels
5. **Leading Indicator**: Provides earlier signals compared to traditional RSI crossovers
## Signal Generation Logic
### 🟢 Buy Signal Process (3-Stage System):
#### Stage 1: Trigger Activation
- **RSI ROC** > threshold (default 7%) - RSI accelerating upward
- **Price ROC** > 0 - Price moving higher
- Records the **trigger high** (highest point during trigger)
#### Stage 2: Invalidation Check
- Signal invalidated if **RSI ROC** drops below negative threshold
- Prevents false signals during momentum reversals
#### Stage 3: Confirmation
- **Price breaks above trigger high** - Price action confirmation
- **Current candle is green** (close > open) - Bullish price action
- **State alternation** - Ensures no consecutive duplicate signals
### 🔴 Sell Signal Process (3-Stage System):
#### Stage 1: Trigger Activation
- **RSI ROC** < negative threshold (default -7%) - RSI accelerating downward
- **Price ROC** < 0 - Price moving lower
- Records the **trigger low** (lowest point during trigger)
#### Stage 2: Invalidation Check
- Signal invalidated if **RSI ROC** rises above positive threshold
- Prevents false signals during momentum reversals
#### Stage 3: Confirmation
- **Price breaks below trigger low** - Price action confirmation
- **Current candle is red** (close < open) - Bearish price action
- **State alternation** - Ensures no consecutive duplicate signals
## Key Features
### 🎯 **Smart Signal Management**
- **State Alternation**: Prevents signal clustering by alternating between buy/sell states
- **Trigger Invalidation**: Automatically cancels weak signals that lose momentum
- **Price Confirmation**: Requires actual price breakouts, not just momentum shifts
- **No Repainting**: Signals are confirmed and won't disappear or change
### ⚙️ **Customizable Parameters**
#### **RSI Length (Default: 14)**
- Standard RSI calculation period
- Shorter periods = more sensitive to price changes
- Longer periods = smoother, less noisy signals
#### **Lookback Period (Default: 1)**
- Period for ROC calculations
- 1 = compares to previous bar (most responsive)
- Higher values = smoother momentum detection
#### **RSI ROC Threshold (Default: 7%)**
- Minimum RSI velocity required for signal trigger
- Lower values = more signals, potentially more noise
- Higher values = fewer but higher-quality signals
### 📊 **Visual Signals**
- **Green Arrow Up**: Buy signal below price bar
- **Red Arrow Down**: Sell signal above price bar
- **Clean Chart**: No additional lines or oscillators cluttering the view
- **Size Options**: Customizable arrow sizes for visibility preferences

RCT FUSION PRO – Convergent Squeeze, Momentum & Trend SystemDescripción del script :
This indicator integrates three core technical concepts into a single decision-support framework: Bollinger-Keltner squeeze compression, directional trend strength (ADX/DMI), and multi-timeframe market wave momentum. The goal is not merely to overlay indicators, but to create a convergent signal system where confirmation across components increases the reliability of potential trade setups.
1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear’s method):
Detects periods of low volatility (squeeze) using Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels. When the squeeze “fires,” the linear regression-based oscillator (val) reveals the direction and acceleration of the breakout. Green/lime = bullish momentum; red/maroon = bearish.
2. Adaptive ADX & DMI Scaling:
The standard ADX (14-period) and +/-DI lines are dynamically scaled to match the amplitude of the squeeze oscillator. This allows traders to visually assess whether a breakout occurs alongside strong trend confirmation (ADX > 23) and directional bias (+DI > -DI or vice versa). The key level is offset by -7 units for better alignment.
3. Fibonacci Wave Momentum (A/B/C):
Three MACD-style histograms (Wave A: 55, Wave B: 144, Wave C: 233) use EMA crossovers with Fibonacci lengths to identify short-, medium-, and long-term momentum shifts. These appear as semi-transparent areas and help contextualize the squeeze signal within broader market cycles.
4. Divergence Detection (Non-repainting):
Automatically identifies regular and hidden bullish/bearish divergences between price and the squeeze oscillator. All divergence lines and labels are drawn only after the candle closes, preventing repainting. Alerts are included for all four divergence types.
How to use:
A squeeze release (black → gray background) combined with rising green histogram and +DI > -DI suggests a high-probability long setup.
Confirm with Wave A/B/C alignment (all turning positive) and/or a bullish divergence below zero.
Use the Key Level line (white) as a dynamic reference for ADX strength relative to momentum.
This system is designed for swing and intraday traders seeking confluence between volatility compression, trend strength, and cyclical momentum. No single component is traded in isolation—convergence is the core principle.
Versión en español :
Este indicador combina tres conceptos técnicos clave en un solo marco de apoyo a la decisión: compresión de squeeze (Bollinger-Keltner), fuerza direccional de tendencia (ADX/DMI) y momento de ondas de mercado en múltiples plazos. No se trata de una simple superposición, sino de un sistema donde la convergencia de señales aumenta la confiabilidad de las entradas.
El Squeeze Momentum detecta baja volatilidad y muestra la dirección del impulso tras la liberación.
El ADX y los DM+/- se escalan dinámicamente para alinearse visualmente con el oscilador, permitiendo evaluar si el impulso coincide con una tendencia fuerte.
Las Ondas A/B/C (55, 144, 233) muestran el momento en distintos horizontes temporales mediante áreas coloreadas.
Las divergencias (regulares y ocultas) se detectan sin repintado y generan alertas.
Se recomienda operar solo cuando múltiples componentes coinciden, no de forma aislada. Ideal para traders de swing e intradía que buscan confluencia.

Opening Range BoxThis indicator, called the "Opening Range Box," is a visual tool that helps you track the start of key trading sessions like London and New York (or whatever session you set).
It does three main things:
Finds the Daily 'First Move': It automatically calculates the High and Low reached during the first 30 minutes (or whatever time you set) of each defined session.
Draws a Box: It immediately draws a colored, transparent box on your chart from the moment the session starts. The top of the box is the OR High, and the bottom is the OR Low. This box acts as a clear reference for the session's initial boundaries.
Extends the Levels: After the initial 30 minutes are over, the box stops growing vertically (it locks in the OR High/Low) but continues to stretch out horizontally for the rest of the trading session. This allows you to easily see how the price reacts to the opening levels throughout the day.
In short: It visually highlights the most important price levels established at the very beginning of the major market sessions.
Ultimate BB Squeeze [Final]This indicator gives the move as it is about to happen and I have even added adx to the same so as to have a directional trade and not get stopped by loss.
