IU Gap Fill StrategyThe IU Gap Fill Strategy is designed to capitalize on price gaps that occur between trading sessions. It identifies gaps based on a user-defined percentage threshold and executes trades when the price fills the gap within a day. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to take advantage of market inefficiencies that arise due to overnight or session-based price movements. An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is incorporated to dynamically manage risk and lock in profits.
USER INPUTS
Percentage Difference for Valid Gap - Defines the minimum gap size in percentage terms for a valid trade setup. ( Default is 0.2 )
ATR Length - Sets the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation. (default is 14 )
ATR Factor - Determines the multiplier for the trailing stop-loss, helping in risk management. ( Default is 2.00 )
LONG CONDITION
A gap-up occurs, meaning the current session opens above the previous session’s close.
The price initially dips below the previous session's close but then recovers and closes above it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
SHORT CONDITION
A gap-down occurs, meaning the current session opens below the previous session’s close.
The price initially moves above the previous session’s close but then closes below it.
The gap meets the valid percentage threshold set by the user.
The bar is not the first or last bar of the session to avoid false signals.
LONG EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set below the entry price and dynamically adjusts upwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
SHORT EXIT
An ATR-based trailing stop-loss is set above the entry price and dynamically adjusts downwards as the price moves in favor of the trade.
The position is closed when the trailing stop-loss is hit.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE
Precision in Identifying Gaps - The strategy focuses on real price gaps rather than minor fluctuations.
Dynamic Risk Management - Uses ATR-based trailing stop-loss to secure profits while allowing the trade to run.
Versatility - Works on stocks, indices, forex, and any market that experiences session-based gaps.
Optimized Entry Conditions - Ensures entries are taken only when the price attempts to fill the gap, reducing false signals.
HOW USERS CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
Enhance Trade Timing - Captures high-probability trade setups based on market inefficiencies caused by gaps.
Minimize Risk - The ATR trailing stop-loss helps protect gains and limit losses.
Works in Different Market Conditions - Whether markets are trending or consolidating, the strategy adapts to potential gap fill opportunities.
Fully Customizable - Users can fine-tune gap percentage, ATR settings, and stop-loss parameters to match their trading style.

Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.

The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
If you have any cool features you think can benefit Divergence IQ - please feel free to share them!
Thank you so much TradingView community!
Ultimate T3 Fibonacci for BTC Scalping. Look at backtest report!Hey Everyone!
I created another script to add to my growing library of strategies and indicators that I use for automated crypto trading! This strategy is for BITCOIN on the 30 minute chart since I designed it to be a scalping strategy. I calculated for trading fees, and use a small amount of capital in the backtest report. But feel free to modify the capital and how much per order to see how it changes the results:)
It is called the "Ultimate T3 Fibonacci Indicator by NHBprod" that computes and displays two T3-based moving averages derived from price data. The t3_function calculates the Tilson T3 indicator by applying a series of exponential moving averages to a combined price metric and then blending these results with specific coefficients derived from an input factor.
The script accepts several user inputs that toggle the use of the T3 filter, select the buy signal method, and set parameters like lengths and volume factors for two variations of the T3 calculation. Two T3 lines, T3 and T32, are computed with different parameters, and their colors change dynamically (green/red for T3 and blue/purple for T32) based on whether the lines are trending upward or downward. Depending on the selected signal method, the script generates buy signals either when T32 crosses over T3 or when the closing price is above T3, and similarly, sell signals are generated on the respective conditions for crossing under or closing below. Finally, the indicator plots the T3 lines on the chart, adds visual buy/sell markers, and sets alert conditions to notify users when the respective trading signals occur.
The user has the ability to tune the parameters using TP/SL, date timerames for analyses, and the actual parameters of the T3 function including the buy/sell signal! Lastly, the user has the option of trading this long, short, or both!
Let me know your thoughts and check out the backtest report!
GOLD Volume-Based Entry StrategyShort Description:
This script identifies potential long entries by detecting two consecutive bars with above-average volume and bullish price action. When these conditions are met, a trade is entered, and an optional profit target is set based on user input. This strategy can help highlight momentum-driven breakouts or trend continuations triggered by a surge in buying volume.
How It Works
Volume Moving Average
A simple moving average of volume (vol_ma) is calculated over a user-defined period (default: 20 bars). This helps us distinguish when volume is above or below recent averages.
Consecutive Green Volume Bars
First bar: Must be bullish (close > open) and have volume above the volume MA.
Second bar: Must also be bullish, with volume above the volume MA and higher than the first bar’s volume.
When these two bars appear in sequence, we interpret it as strong buying pressure that could drive price higher.
Entry & Profit Target
Upon detecting these two consecutive bullish bars, the script places a long entry.
A profit target is set at current price plus a user-defined fixed amount (default: 5 USD).
You can adjust this target, or you can add a stop-loss in the script to manage risk further.
Visual Cues
Buy Signal Marker appears on the chart when the second bar confirms the signal.
Green Volume Columns highlight the bars that fulfill the criteria, providing a quick visual confirmation of high-volume bullish bars.
Works fine on 1M-2M-5M-15M-30M. Do not use it on higher TF. Due the lack of historical data on lower TF, the backtest result is limited.
John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions. Enjoy a seamless blend of strategy and style—crafted with passion by Ayebale John Bob and his bestie!
Ultimate Stochastics Strategy by NHBprod Use to Day Trade BTCHey All!
Here's a new script I worked on that's super simple but at the same time useful. Check out the backtest results. The backtest results include slippage and fees/commission, and is still quite profitable. Obviously the profitability magnitude depends on how much capital you begin with, and how much the user utilizes per order, but in any event it seems to be profitable according to backtests.
This is different because it allows you full functionality over the stochastics calculations which is designed for random datasets. This script allows you to:
Designate ANY period of time to analyze and study
Choose between Long trading, short trading, and Long & Short trading
It allows you to enter trades based on the stochastics calculations
It allows you to EXIT trades using the stochastics calculations or take profit, or stop loss, Or any combination of those, which is nice because then the user can see how one variable effects the overall performance.
As for the actual stochastics formula, you get control, and get to SEE the plot lines for slow K, slow D, and fast K, which is usually not considered.
You also get the chance to modify the smoothing method, which has not been done with regular stochastics indicators. You get to choose the standard simple moving average (SMA) method, but I also allow you to choose other MA's such as the HMA and WMA.
Lastly, the user gets the option of using a custom trade extender, which essentially allows a buy or sell signal to exist for X amount of candles after the initial signal. For example, you can use "max bars since signal" to 1, and this will allow the indicator to produce an extra sequential buy signal when a buy signal is generated. This can be useful because it is possible that you use a small take profit (TP) and quickly exit a profitable trade. With the max bars since signal variable, you're able to reenter on the next candle and allow for another opportunity.
Let me know if you have any questions! Please take a look at the performance report and let me know your thoughts! :)
Gold Pro StrategyHere’s the strategy description in a chat format:
---
**Gold (XAU/USD) Trend-Following Strategy**
This **trend-following strategy** is designed for trading gold (XAU/USD) by combining moving averages, MACD momentum indicators, and RSI filters to capture sustained trends while managing volatility risks. The strategy uses volatility-adjusted stops to protect gains and prevent overexposure during erratic price movements. The aim is to take advantage of trending markets by confirming momentum and ensuring entries are not made at extreme levels.
---
**Key Components**
1. **Trend Identification**
- **50 vs 200 EMA Crossover**
- **Bullish Trend:** 50 EMA crosses above 200 EMA, and the price closes above the 200 EMA
- **Bearish Trend:** 50 EMA crosses below 200 EMA, and the price closes below the 200 EMA
2. **Momentum Confirmation**
- **MACD (12,26,9)**
- **Buy Signal:** MACD line crosses above the signal line
- **Sell Signal:** MACD line crosses below the signal line
- **RSI (14 Period)**
- **Bullish Zone:** RSI between 50-70 to avoid overbought conditions
- **Bearish Zone:** RSI between 30-50 to avoid oversold conditions
3. **Entry Criteria**
- **Long Entry:** Bullish trend, MACD bullish crossover, and RSI between 50-70
- **Short Entry:** Bearish trend, MACD bearish crossover, and RSI between 30-50
4. **Exit & Risk Management**
- **ATR Trailing Stops (14 Period):**
- Initial Stop: 3x ATR from entry price
- Trailing Stop: Adjusts to lock in profits as price moves favorably
- **Position Sizing:** 100% of equity per trade (high-risk strategy)
---
**Key Logic Flow**
1. **Trend Filter:** Use the 50/200 EMA relationship to define the market's direction
2. **Momentum Confirmation:** Confirm trend momentum with MACD crossovers
3. **RSI Validation:** Ensure RSI is within non-extreme ranges before entering trades
4. **Volatility-Based Risk Management:** Use ATR stops to manage market volatility
---
**Visual Cues**
- **Blue Line:** 50 EMA
- **Red Line:** 200 EMA
- **Green Triangles:** Long entry signals
- **Red Triangles:** Short entry signals
---
**Strengths**
- **Clear Trend Focus:** Avoids counter-trend trades
- **RSI Filter:** Prevents entering overbought or oversold conditions
- **ATR Stops:** Adapts to gold’s inherent volatility
- **Simple Rules:** Easy to follow with minimal inputs
---
**Weaknesses & Risks**
- **Infrequent Signals:** 50/200 EMA crossovers are rare
- **Potential Missed Opportunities:** Strict RSI criteria may miss some valid trends
- **Aggressive Position Sizing:** 100% equity allocation can lead to large drawdowns
- **No Profit Targets:** Relies on trailing stops rather than defined exit targets
---
**Performance Profile**
| Metric | Expected Range |
|----------------------|---------------------|
| Annual Trades | 4-8 |
| Win Rate | 55-65% |
| Max Drawdown | 25-35% |
| Profit Factor | 1.8-2.5 |
---
**Optimization Recommendations**
1. **Increase Trade Frequency**
Adjust the EMAs to shorter periods:
- `emaFastLen = input.int(30, "Fast EMA")`
- `emaSlowLen = input.int(150, "Slow EMA")`
2. **Relax RSI Filters**
Adjust the RSI range to:
- `rsiBullish = rsi > 45 and rsi < 75`
- `rsiBearish = rsi < 55 and rsi > 25`
3. **Add Profit Targets**
Introduce a profit target at 1.5% above entry:
```pine
strategy.exit("Long Exit", "Long",
stop=longStopPrice,
profit=close*1.015, // 1.5% target
trail_offset=trailOffset)
```
4. **Reduce Position Sizing**
Risk a smaller percentage per trade:
- `default_qty_value=25`
---
**Best Use Case**
This strategy excels in **strong trending markets** such as gold rallies during economic or geopolitical crises. However, during sideways or choppy market conditions, the strategy might require manual intervention to avoid false signals. Additionally, integrating fundamental analysis—like monitoring USD weakness or geopolitical risks—can enhance its effectiveness.
---
This strategy offers a balanced approach for trading gold, combining trend-following principles with risk management tailored to the volatility of the market.

Phase Cross Strategy with Zone### Introduction to the Strategy
Welcome to the **Phase Cross Strategy with Zone and EMA Analysis**. This strategy is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on the crossover of smoothed oscillators (referred to as "phases") and exponential moving averages (EMAs). By combining these two methods, the strategy offers a versatile tool for both trend-following and short-term trading setups.
### Key Features
1. **Phase Cross Signals**:
- The strategy uses two smoothed oscillators:
- **Leading Phase**: A simple moving average (SMA) with an upward offset.
- **Lagging Phase**: An exponential moving average (EMA) with a downward offset.
- Buy and sell signals are generated when these phases cross over or under each other, visually represented on the chart with green (buy) and red (sell) labels.
2. **Phase Zone Visualization**:
- The area between the two phases is filled with a green or red zone, indicating bullish or bearish conditions:
- Green zone: Leading phase is above the lagging phase (potential uptrend).
- Red zone: Leading phase is below the lagging phase (potential downtrend).
3. **EMA Analysis**:
- Includes five commonly used EMAs (13, 26, 50, 100, and 200) for additional trend analysis.
- Crossovers of the EMA 13 and EMA 26 act as secondary buy/sell signals to confirm or enhance the phase-based signals.
4. **Customizable Parameters**:
- You can adjust the smoothing length, source (price data), and offset to fine-tune the strategy for your preferred trading style.
### What to Pay Attention To
1. **Phases and Zones**:
- Use the green/red phase zone as an overall trend guide.
- Avoid taking trades when the phases are too close or choppy, as it may indicate a ranging market.
2. **EMA Trends**:
- Align your trades with the longer-term trend shown by the EMAs. For example:
- In an uptrend (price above EMA 50 or EMA 200), prioritize buy signals.
- In a downtrend (price below EMA 50 or EMA 200), prioritize sell signals.
3. **Signal Confirmation**:
- Consider combining phase cross signals with EMA crossovers for higher-confidence trades.
- Look for confluence between the phase signals and EMA trends.
4. **Risk Management**:
- Always set stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk.
- Use the phase and EMA zones to estimate potential support/resistance areas for exits.
5. **Whipsaws and False Signals**:
- Be cautious in low-volatility or sideways markets, as the strategy may generate false signals.
- Use additional indicators or filters to avoid entering trades during unclear market conditions.
### How to Use
1. Add the strategy to your chart in TradingView.
2. Adjust the input settings (e.g., smoothing length, offsets) to suit your trading preferences.
3. Enable the strategy tester to evaluate its performance on historical data.
4. Combine the signals with your own analysis and risk management plan for best results.
This strategy is a versatile tool, but like any trading method, it requires proper understanding and discretion. Always backtest thoroughly and trade with discipline. Let me know if you need further assistance or adjustments to the strategy!

IU Opening range Breakout StrategyIU Opening Range Breakout Strategy
This Pine Script strategy is designed to capitalize on the breakout of the opening range, which is a popular trading approach. The strategy identifies the high and low prices of the opening session and takes trades based on price crossing these levels, with built-in risk management and trade limits for intraday trading.
Key Features:
1. Risk Management:
- Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR):
Set a customizable risk-to-reward ratio to calculate target prices based on stop-loss levels.
Default: 2:1
- Max Trades in a Day:
Specify the maximum number of trades allowed per day to avoid overtrading.
Default: 2 trades in a day.
- End-of-Day Close:
Automatically closes all open positions at a user-defined session end time to ensure no overnight exposure.
Default: 3:15 PM
2. Opening Range Identification
- Opening Range High and Low:
The script detects the high and low of the first trading session using Pine Script's session functions.
These levels are plotted as visual guides on the chart:
- High: Lime-colored circles.
- Low: Red-colored circles.
3. Trade Entry Logic
- Long Entry:
A long trade is triggered when the price closes above the opening range high.
- Entry condition: Crossover of the price above the opening range high.
-Short Entry:
A short trade is triggered when the price closes below the opening range low.
- Entry condition: Crossunder of the price below the opening range low.
Both entries are conditional on the absence of an existing position.
4. Stop Loss and Take Profit
- Long Position:
- Stop Loss: Previous candle's low.
- Take Profit: Calculated based on the RTR.
- **Short Position:**
- **Stop Loss:** Previous candle's high.
- **Take Profit:** Calculated based on the RTR.
The strategy plots these levels for visual reference:
- Stop Loss: Red dashed lines.
- Take Profit: Green dashed lines.
5. Visual Enhancements
-Trade Level Highlighting:
The script dynamically shades the areas between the entry price and SL/TP levels:
- Red shading for the stop-loss region.
- Green shading for the take-profit region.
- Entry Price Line:
A silver-colored line marks the average entry price for active trades.
How to Use:
1.Input Configuration:
Adjust the Risk-to-Reward ratio, max trades per day, and session end time to suit your trading preferences.
2.Visual Cues:
Use the opening range high/low lines and shading to identify potential breakout opportunities.
3.Execution:
The strategy will automatically enter and exit trades based on the conditions. Review the plotted SL and TP levels to monitor the risk-reward setup.
Important Notes:
- This strategy is designed for intraday trading and works best in markets with high volatility during the opening session.
- Backtest the strategy on your preferred market and timeframe to ensure compatibility.
- Proper risk management and position sizing are essential when using this strategy in live markets.
CCI Threshold StrategyThe CCI Threshold Strategy is a trading approach that utilizes the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) as a momentum indicator to identify potential buy and sell signals in financial markets. The CCI is particularly effective in detecting overbought and oversold conditions, providing traders with insights into possible price reversals. This strategy is designed for use in various financial instruments, including stocks, commodities, and forex, and aims to capitalize on price movements driven by market sentiment.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert in the 1980s and is primarily used to measure the deviation of a security's price from its average price over a specified period.
The formula for CCI is as follows:
CCI=(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015MeanDeviation
CCI=MeanDeviation(TypicalPrice−SMA)×0.015
where:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
SMA = Simple Moving Average of the Typical Price
Mean Deviation = Average of the absolute deviations from the SMA
The CCI oscillates around a zero line, with values above +100 indicating overbought conditions and values below -100 indicating oversold conditions (Lambert, 1980).
Strategy Logic
The CCI Threshold Strategy operates on the following principles:
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: The number of periods used to calculate the CCI. A common choice is 9, as it balances responsiveness and noise.
Buy Threshold: Typically set at -90, indicating a potential oversold condition where a price reversal is likely.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy allows for risk management through customizable stop loss and take profit points.
Entry Conditions:
A long position is initiated when the CCI falls below the buy threshold of -90, indicating potential oversold levels. This condition suggests that the asset may be undervalued and due for a price increase.
Exit Conditions:
The long position is closed when the closing price exceeds the highest price of the previous day, indicating a bullish reversal. Additionally, if the stop loss or take profit thresholds are hit, the position will be exited accordingly.
Risk Management:
The strategy incorporates optional stop loss and take profit mechanisms, which can be toggled on or off based on trader preference. This allows for flexibility in risk management, aligning with individual risk tolerances and trading styles.
Benefits of the CCI Threshold Strategy
Flexibility: The CCI Threshold Strategy can be applied across different asset classes, making it versatile for various market conditions.
Objective Signals: The use of quantitative thresholds for entry and exit reduces emotional bias in trading decisions (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974).
Enhanced Risk Management: By allowing traders to set stop loss and take profit levels, the strategy aids in preserving capital and managing risk effectively.
Limitations
Market Noise: The CCI can produce false signals, especially in highly volatile markets, leading to potential losses (Bollinger, 2001).
Lagging Indicator: As a lagging indicator, the CCI may not always capture rapid market movements, resulting in missed opportunities (Pring, 2002).
Conclusion
The CCI Threshold Strategy offers a systematic approach to trading based on well-established momentum principles. By focusing on overbought and oversold conditions, traders can make informed decisions while managing risk effectively. As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to backtest the approach and adapt it to individual trading styles and market conditions.

Dual Momentum StrategyThis Pine Script™ strategy implements the "Dual Momentum" approach developed by Gary Antonacci, as presented in his book Dual Momentum Investing: An Innovative Strategy for Higher Returns with Lower Risk (McGraw Hill Professional, 2014). Dual momentum investing combines relative momentum and absolute momentum to maximize returns while minimizing risk. Relative momentum involves selecting the asset with the highest recent performance between two options (a risky asset and a safe asset), while absolute momentum considers whether the chosen asset has a positive return over a specified lookback period.
In this strategy:
Risky Asset (SPY): Represents a stock index fund, typically more volatile but with higher potential returns.
Safe Asset (TLT): Represents a bond index fund, which generally has lower volatility and acts as a hedge during market downturns.
Monthly Momentum Calculation: The momentum for each asset is calculated based on its price change over the last 12 months. Only assets with a positive momentum (absolute momentum) are considered for investment.
Decision Rules:
Invest in the risky asset if its momentum is positive and greater than that of the safe asset.
If the risky asset’s momentum is negative or lower than the safe asset's, the strategy shifts the allocation to the safe asset.
Scientific Reference
Antonacci's work on dual momentum investing has shown the strategy's ability to outperform traditional buy-and-hold methods while reducing downside risk. This approach has been reviewed and discussed in both academic and investment publications, highlighting its strong risk-adjusted returns (Antonacci, 2014).

MT Enhanced Trend Reversal StrategyThis strategy, called **"Enhanced Trend Reversal Strategy with Take Profit,"** is designed to identify trend reversal points based on several indicators: **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), MACD**, and **RSI**. The strategy also includes **take-profit levels** to provide traders with suggested profit-taking points.
Key Components of the Strategy
1. **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)**:
- The strategy uses **20 and 50-period EMAs** to determine trend direction. The shorter period (EMA 20) reacts more quickly to price changes, while the longer period (EMA 50) smooths out fluctuations.
- An **uptrend** (bullish market) is indicated when the EMA 20 is above the EMA 50. In this case, the main trend line is colored green.
- A **downtrend** (bearish market) is indicated when the EMA 20 is below the EMA 50, in which case the trend line is colored red.
- This visual indication simplifies analysis and allows traders to quickly assess the market condition.
2. **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)**:
- MACD is an oscillator that shows the difference between two EMAs (with periods 6 and 13) and a **signal line** with a period of 5.
- A **buy signal** is generated when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential bullish trend.
- A **sell signal** is generated when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a possible bearish trend.
- Shorter MACD periods make the strategy more sensitive to price changes, allowing for more frequent trading signals.
3. **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**:
- RSI measures the speed and magnitude of directional price movements to determine if an asset is overbought or oversold.
- The strategy uses a standard RSI period of 14, but with relaxed levels for more signals.
- **For buy entries**, RSI should be above 40, signaling the start of a bullish impulse without indicating overbought conditions.
- **For sell entries**, RSI should be below 60, signaling potential bearish movement without being oversold.
Entry Conditions
- **Buy Signal**:
- The MACD line crosses above the signal line.
- EMA 20 is above EMA 50 (uptrend).
- RSI is above 40, indicating a potential rise without overbought conditions.
- When these conditions are met, the strategy enters a **long position**.
- **Sell Signal**:
- The MACD line crosses below the signal line.
- EMA 20 is below EMA 50 (downtrend).
- RSI is below 60, indicating a possible decline without being oversold.
- When these conditions are met, the strategy enters a **short position**.
Take-Profit Levels
- **Take Profit** is calculated at 1.5% of the entry price:
- **For long positions**, take profit is set at a level 1.5% above the entry price.
- **For short positions**, take profit is set at a level 1.5% below the entry price.
- This take-profit level is displayed as a blue line on the chart, giving traders a clear idea of the target profit point for each trade.
Visualization and Colors
- The main trend line (EMA 20) changes to green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend. This provides a clear visual indicator of the current trend direction.
- Take-profit levels are displayed as blue lines, helping traders follow targets and lock in profits at recommended levels.
Usage Recommendations
- **Timeframe**: The strategy is optimized for a 30-minute timeframe. At this interval, signals are frequent enough without being overly sensitive to noise.
- **Applicability**: The strategy works well for assets with moderate to high volatility, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and currency pairs.
- **Risk Management**: In addition to take profit, a stop loss at around 1-2% is recommended to minimize losses in case of sudden trend reversals.
Conclusion
This strategy is designed for more frequent signals by using faster indicators and relaxed RSI conditions. It is suitable for traders seeking quick trade opportunities and clearly defined take-profit levels.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High

ICT Macros are only displayable on the 5 minute timeframe or less.
Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!

Reflected ema Difference (RED) This script, titled "Reflected EMA Difference (RED)," is based on the logic of evaluating the percentage of convergence and divergence between two moving averages, specifically the Hull Moving Averages (HMA), to make price-related decisions. The Hull Moving Average, created by Alan Hull, is used as the foundation of this strategy, offering a faster and more accurate way to analyze market trends. In this script, the concept is employed to measure and reflect price variations.
Script Functionality Overview:
Hull Moving Averages (HMA): The script utilizes two HMAs, one short-term and one long-term. The main idea is to compute the Delta Difference between these two moving averages, which represents how much they are converging or diverging from each other. This difference is key to identifying potential market trend changes.
Reflected HMA Value: Using the Delta Difference between the HMAs, the value of the short-term HMA is reflected, creating a visual reference point that helps traders see the relationship between price and HMAs on the chart.
Percentage Change Index: The second key parameter is the percentage change index. This determines when a trend is reversing, allowing buy or sell orders to be established based on significant changes in the relationship between the HMAs and the price.
Delta Multiplier: The script comes with a default Delta multiplier of 2 for calculating the difference between HMAs, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the analysis based on the time frame being analyzed.
Trend Reversal Signals: When the price crosses the thresholds defined by the percentage change index, buy or sell signals are triggered, based on the detection of a potential trend reversal.
Visual Cues with Boxes: Boxes are drawn on the chart when the HullMA crosses the reflected HMA value, providing a visual aid to identify critical moments where risk should be evaluated.
Alerts for Receiving Signals:
This script allows you to set up buy and sell alerts via TradingView's alert system. These alerts are triggered when trend changes are detected based on the conditions coded in the script. Traders can receive instant notifications, allowing them to make decisions without needing to constantly monitor the chart.
Additional Considerations:
The percentage change parameter is adjustable and should be configured based on the time frame you are trading on. For longer time frames, it's advisable to use a larger percentage change to avoid false signals.
The use of Hull Moving Averages (HMA) provides a faster and more reactive approach to trend evaluation compared to other moving averages, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking quick reversal signals.
This approach combines the power of Hull Moving Averages with an alert system to improve the trader’s response to trend changes.
Spanish
Este script, titulado "Reflected EMA Difference (RED)", está fundamentado en la lógica de evaluar el porcentaje de acercamiento y distancia entre dos medias móviles, específicamente las medias móviles de Hull (HMA), para tomar decisiones sobre el valor del precio. El creador de la media móvil de Hull, Alan Hull, diseñó este indicador para ofrecer una forma más rápida y precisa de analizar tendencias de mercado, y en este script se utiliza su concepto como base para medir y reflejar las variaciones de precio.
Descripción del funcionamiento:
Medias Móviles de Hull (HMA): Se utilizan dos HMAs, una de corto plazo y otra de largo plazo. La idea principal es calcular la diferencia Delta entre estas dos medias móviles, que representa cuánto se están alejando o acercando entre sí. Esta diferencia es clave para identificar cambios potenciales en la tendencia del mercado.
Valor Reflejado de la HMA: Con la diferencia Delta calculada entre las HMAs, se refleja el valor de la HMA corta, creando un punto de referencia visual que ayuda a los traders a observar la relación entre el precio y las HMAs en el gráfico.
Índice de Cambio de Porcentaje: El segundo parámetro clave del script es el índice de cambio porcentual. Este define el momento en que una tendencia está revirtiendo, permitiendo establecer órdenes de compra o venta en función de un cambio significativo en la relación entre las HMAs y el precio.
Multiplicador Delta: El script tiene un multiplicador predeterminado de 2 para el cálculo de la diferencia Delta, lo que permite ajustar la sensibilidad del análisis según la temporalidad del gráfico.
Señales de Reversión de Tendencia: Cuando el precio cruza los límites definidos por el índice de cambio porcentual, se emiten señales para comprar o vender, basadas en la detección de una posible reversión de tendencia.
Visualización con Cajas: Se dibujan cajas en el gráfico cuando el indicador HullMA cruza el valor reflejado de la HMA, ayudando a identificar visualmente los momentos críticos en los que se debe evaluar el riesgo de las operaciones.
Alertas para Recibir Señales:
Este script permite configurar alertas de compra y venta desde el apartado de alertas de TradingView. Estas alertas se activan cuando se detectan cambios de tendencia en función de las condiciones establecidas en el código. El trader puede recibir notificaciones instantáneas, lo que facilita la toma de decisiones sin necesidad de estar constantemente observando el gráfico.
Consideraciones adicionales:
El porcentaje de cambio es un parámetro ajustable y debe configurarse según la temporalidad que se esté operando. En temporalidades más largas, es recomendable usar un porcentaje de cambio mayor para evitar señales falsas.
La utilización de las medias móviles de Hull (HMA) proporciona un enfoque más rápido y reactivo para evaluar tendencias en comparación con otras medias móviles, lo que lo convierte en una herramienta poderosa para traders que buscan señales rápidas de reversión.
Este enfoque combina la potencia de las medias móviles de Hull con un sistema de alertas que mejora la reactividad a cambios de tendencia.
VRS (Vegas Reversal Strategy)It is based on the reversal of the price after an accentuated volatility of the previous day. It is tested only on BTC, TF Day, and has an activation value equal to a spike of minimum 2.4% amplitude, a value that I have left in the settings free to be modified if it is found valid for other assets.
In the settings you can change how many of the latest longs or shorts I want to view in the past, colors and various aesthetics.
When the system detects a spike at the end of the day from 2.4% onwards it will signal the direction of Reversal, generating the 3 TP, dotted lines.
