Pookies SL/TP LinesThis indicator calculates Stop-loss and Take-profit limits and plots them on the chart based on the daily ATR value for a given instrument.
The Stop-loss is calculated at the current close price minus 1x ATR and is plotted as a red line by default.
The Take-profit is calculated at the current close price plus 1.5x ATR and is plotted as a green line by default.
The colors for each line can be changed, as well as the default ATR values (length, smoothing).
To use:
When you see a long or short signal (your own preference), enter your position and set your take-profit and stop-loss limits at the current red/green lines, based on whatever Risk-Reward you've set it to.
This is also helpful in determining whether or not a trade offers enough potential to risk prior to entering the trade.
When the lines are far apart, the ATR is high. When the lines are close together, the ATR is low. This can be used to determine volatility and allow traders to buy during consolidation and sell into strength.
Thank you.

CUT MY LOSSESS - Levereged Stop loss + R / R ratio checker Hello traders!
We have heard many times that keep your losses small and allow your profits to grow. But what happens is that we often make the mistake of doing high-margin trades that we cannot afford to lose. The main reason for this problem, in my opinion, is the rush to open a position and not paying attention to how much acceptable loss in each trade is for us? Is our stop loss point compatible with the loss we are willing to accept?
Many of the losses we incur are not due to our erroneous analysis but to the wrong trading strategy, miscalculation of Stop Loss and failure to calculate the Risk/Reward for each trade. At least for most novice traders, these mistakes happen .
This script does not have complicated logic and is designed only as a help for those who are not interested in working with calculators !! I hope that sometimes that we are very excited to buy, looking at this script can give us a serious flip to avoid risk .
This is a basic script that helps us to intuitively check our stop loss in according to our leverage and to guess the approximate risk/reward of our trade. This script assumes that you always trade with half of your total capital. It is also assumed that you routinely use up to ten percent of your capital for each trade. Therefore, the first variable in this script is the amount of tolerable loss in each trade for you, which is set to 25% by default. So if you follow the previous assumptions, each trade will endanger 2.5% of your capital.
Since not all analyzes are ever accurate, we need to enter into positions that have good Risk/Reward ratio, so that even if half of our analysis fails, we will profitable. Therefore, the second variable in this script is the acceptable Risk/Reward ratio for us, which is set to 1:4 by default.
Also, to check the efficiency of the stop-loss with different trading leverage, I add five leverage by default from 1 to 5 as lines on the side of your stop-loss point.
LeV A (Lowest Leverage-WHITE): 1 by default
LeV B (AQUA): 2 by default
LeV C (YELLOW): 3 by default
LeV D (ORANGE): 4 by default
LeV E (Highest Leverage-RED):5 by default
You can change all these leverages and Acceptable margin loss and R/R ratio according to your needs.
You can also hide the leverage lines you are not dealing with through the script settings .
You will also see lines on the side of your target point to check your risk/reward ,so you can approximate your target according to your trading leverage and the risk/reward you accept. you can also hide these R/R lines from the setting.
Important Note: This script is not designed to give you a stop loss point or take profit point.
To find these points, you must use technical analysis methods , and then use this script to check the coordination of these points with your trading strategy.
Using the script is simple, but I will try to explain it with a few examples.
Auto Position Sizing Risk RewardThe Auto Position Sizing Risk Reward indicator shows different Risk levels 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 based on your risk amount and uses an auto Stoploss level based on the ATR.
You can set the values for the "Note or Title", "Risk Amount", "Entry", "Target Price", "Stop Loss Distance", "Default Risk/Reward" and ATR settings.
The "auto" part comes into play when you haven't yet set an Entry value, which will make everything update according to the latest Closing price of the asset.
Once you set the Entry price, the Risk/Reward levels will stop updating their positions and stay in place. This allows you to dynamically see your potential Risk/Reward as the market progresses, as well as locking in your Risk/Reward levels once you are ready to enter a position.
Your Position Size as well as actual Stoploss level and Cost is displayed along with the other values in the textbox that floats next to the R/R levels.
This indicator was inspired by and relies heavily on the work done by zzzcrypto123 and NXT2017 in their indicators, but I felt that this version is unique enough to hopefully be of use to the general community.
I hope this helps you to trade better! Please feel free to improve it and provide suggestions.
Buy and Sell Signals (With Stops and TP) - No Repaint
This strategy is primarily based on the MACD-indicator, but signals are filtered with the 200 ema.
This indicator gives you for every trade a stopp loss and take profit line.
As with every other strategy risk management is key. The trades taken have all 1.5:1 risk ratios, so when you lose one trade and win one you are still in profit.
This will only work if you calculate your position size accordingly when actually trading!
Without leverage:
position_size = (portfolio * loss_per_trade) / (stop_loss_in_percent )
Leverage:
position_size = (portfolio * loss_per_trade) / (stop_loss_in_percent * leverage)
For example:
portfolio = 100000
loss_per_trade = 0.01 | I only want to lose 1% per trade
stop_loss_in_percent = 0.04 | The stoploss is 4% away from our entry
(100000 * 0.01) / 0.04 = 2500 => if this trade hits my stop, I will only lose 1 % of my portfolio.
This strategy works well with:
BTCUSD 30m
BANDUSDTPERP 5m
EUR DOLLAR 15m
Of course it can be applied to anything, but you should firstly validate the strategy via backtest for the according trading pair and timeframe as it can perform differenlty in various timeframes.
This script does not repaint.
If you are interested in this strategy dm me.
Good luck on your trades!
CRYPTO HA Strategy money maker long termToday I bring you another amazing strategy.
Its made of 2 EMA in this case 50 and 100.
At the same time, internaly for candles we calculate the candles using the HA system ( while still using in live the normal candles). This way we can assure that even if we use HA candles, we avoid repainting, and its legit.
We first calculate the HA candles based on the EMA 50 values, and after that , we use that candle properties to apply to EMA 100.
Once we have that, for entries we have the next conditions :
sell = o2 > c2 and o2 < c2 and time_cond
buy = o2 < c2 and o2 > c2 and time_cond
For sell : Our open from HA 100 is bigger than Close from ha 100, and the previous open is smaller than previous close
For long : Our open from ha 100 is smaller than close from ha 100 and the previous open is bigger than previous close.
Then we have 2 options :
If we wnat to go only long , which is my prefered version ,or the original one where we go both long and short.
I found that the best results are in general around bigger timeframes, 1h+ , 3h works the best so far on my tests.
For exit we have 2 versions :
1 lets say we had a long signal, as soon as we have a short signal we close the trade. Viceversa for short.
2. Is based on price % movement. In this case I use 7.5% price movement of asset.
We have no TP in use for this system.
For the purpose of this test I use 10.000 $ account. For test I use 100% of it, without any leverage.
I use the SL based on price movement , which is a very risky tool, since it can fluctuate even at 20-30% of our capital.
For comission I used 0.1% for each deal, and a slippage of 5 points.
Be cautious with this system !
If you have any questions , message me.

RichBomb Tool/IndicatorThis is a customized strategy by RichTL indicator.
RichBomb helps traders catch explosive movements in the market.
RichBomb color the dots/diamonds by orange when at least three RichTL dots/diamonds come very close to each other forming a small range.
We usually on the break of the RichBomb range upward or downward. Stop Loss goes on the last major swing from the other side, and we target a 2/1 Reward/Risk Ratio.
RichBomb is not a stand-alone strategy, but acts as one confluence in your trading plan.
For example, if the price is sitting around resistance, we would be only interested in selling on the RichBomb range breakout downward, not upward.
RichBomb works on all instruments (Forex, Crypto, Index, Stock, Commodity...) and all Timeframes.
Good Luck!

INTRODUCTION
Robust, fast, trading system
Multiple time frame (MTF) aspects built in everywhere into the strategy
Combines swing, scalp, greedy, volatile trading mechanisms
Works on intraday day time frames as well as Daily and Weekly
Trade sizing, targets, and stops are shown as new trades form and existing trades develop
Alerts warn the trader on all aspects of the trade evolution
Alerts are ready to be used for complete lifecycle automated trading
EMA TRADING
Combining EMAs on a higher time frame than the chart time frame is key
Trade conditions are met on a lower time frame that agree with the EMA ribbon direction
WHY DOES IT WORK?
With the right EMA settings, it is "hard" to generate trades.
The trade direction can easily shift
Successful trade entry triggers require a strong trend
While the EMA trend is positive, longs are taken on pullbacks, opposite for shorts
A basic learning algorithm is used to create a stop behind the trades
Learns over time the best stop offset from the price based on volatility
SWINGS AND SCALPS
Swings and scalps are treated differently.
Swings are the very first trade taken upon a directional shift. This is similar to the DIVINE series trading strategies
Swings are held until stopped out, Scalps always have a target based on the current volatility of the ticker and multiplier
Both swings and scalps start out in the "building" or "forming" phase.
A building phase is triggered when all criteria are met to form a long or short
Both trade types are executed as a market long or short when the ATR execution sensitivity reverses
The current ATR direction can be seen by the colored bars.

Automatic Risk to Reward PivotsIn a nutshell I was tired of guestimating what my risk was between pivots when getting into trades I went to work on the basic math behind the relationship of the pivots to find their natural risk to reward ratios.
The natural risk to rewards span high and low...for example...you can go from the S3 --> R3 and that R:R is with a stop loss of the S4 is 7.4
But making all of those possibilities in code is excessive and for simplicity sake I price can only be between two pivot areas at any point in time.
So this auto risk to reward is limited to the 2:1 opportunities. If you by chance do the math for all of the possibilities as I have then it would be easy to change the Take Profit levels.
I use the fibonacci pivot points in this indicator but I include the mid levels and further extensions totaling 20 levels, 21 including the pivot.
Here they are...the generic plots are bolded...the additional levels are the other fib levels
R7 - 200%
R6 - 162%
R5 - 141%
R4 - 127%
R3 - 100%
R-C - 76%
R2 - 62%
R-B - 50%
R1 - 38%
R-A - 24%
Pivot
S-A - (24%)
S1 - (38%)
S-B - (50%)
S2 - (62%)
S-C - (76%)
S3 - (100%)
S4 - (127%)
S5 - (141%)
S6 - (162%)
S7 - (200%)
The indicator give you the setups for uptrends and downtrends based on the pivot point moving averages (ex. ema(hlc3, 34)) from a higher timeframe which you will be free to change yourself in the inputs.
For my setup, I trade from the daily pivots using the 10m or 5m chart so my next level up is the weekly pivots which I view using the 1H chart candles.
In the next iterations I will add the ability to change the MA lengths.
Pivot Point Moving average lengths
Weekly lengths - fast 34 : slow 55
Monthly lengths - fast 13 : slow 34
Yearly lengths - fast 13 : slow 34
Rules for Uptrends
Fast MA > Slow MA
Session high < r6
Rules for Downtrends
Fast MA < Slow MA
Session high > s6
Timeframes applicable are only those who have a higher pivot set above it
Monthly_SR = 240m, 300m, D
Weekly_SR = 26m, 30m, 60m
Daily_SR = 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m
Your take profit line will always populate where your risk will be 2:1
Your stop loss will always be one pivot level underneath or above your entry
Feel free to ask any questions. Trade well my friends!
Position Size CalculatorThis is a script to make calculating position size easier. It calculates position size as a percentage of account balance and Risk/Reward based on input values of entry, exit, stoploss and shows the R/R box similar to tradingview's R/R tool. There is an option to toggle showing label and choosing of label text color.
Have to enter the following inputs in order for it to work properly
1. Account Balance : Account balance in either whatever is base currency of account
2. Risk % : Percentage of account balance to lose if stop is hit.
3. Entry
4. Stoploss
5. Target Price
Notes:
- Target Price is required for calculating R/R but is not necessary to calculate position size.
- Formula to calculate position size is : Balance * Risk % / SL %
- Formula to calculate R/R is : TP % / SL %
- SL % = ( Entry - SL ) / Entry * 100
- TP % = (TP - Entry ) / Entry * 100
Thanks to u/Chonky_ for help with feedback.
Perfect Risk Management Setup !Simple and clean Perfect Risk Management Setup !
5 Targets included with Entry !
2 Stops included !
+ Dir is for long setting Long Sl and Targets
- Dir is for setting Short Sl nd Targets
* Manualy one can set Sl and Targets according to their risk management !
Ichimoku Signal GeneratorThis indicator uses the standard concepts of the Ichimoku Cloud. The indicator features a fully customisable set of Ichimoku lines: Tenkan Sen, Kijun Sen, Senkou Span A & B, Kumo, Chikou Span. Besides this the Indicator also features the ability to show and hide entry signals for various entry criteria for the Ichimoku indicator:
Signal 1 - Chikou crossing Kijun - The indicator will place an arrow in the direction of the trade that is suggested by this signal.
Signal 2 - Heikin Ashi Candle closing above the Kumo - This seems to filter out a lot of bad signal versus basing the signal on price closing above the Kumo alone.
Signal 3 - Price crossing the Kijun Sen in relation to the Kumo - This signal has received the most work - It generates a signal in the suggested direction of the particular condition being met i.e. price crosses below the Kijun indicates a sell and vice versa, but it also factors in where the cross happens in relation to the Kumo cloud. These signals can be switched on or off based on weak(longs below the cloud or shorts above the cloud), neutral (long or short when inside the cloud) or strong (long above the cloud or short below the cloud).
Examples of each of the different Signal 3 indicators can be seen in the screenshot. Pale/white signals are weak, yellow are neutral & green/red are strong.
Further features (only available on Signal 3 at present: entry, stop loss and take profit levels. These are determined based on the ATR periods setting and ATR Multiplier for Stop Loss - specifying an ATR period of 10 and multiplier of 2 will result in stop loss signal being shown as 2xATR(10) above or below the entry based on whether you are shown a long or short signal. For Take Profits you can specify a Risk:Reward multiplier. By default this is set to 2:1 (or 2). This takes the distance from the stop market to the entry and multiplies it by the multiplier and then indicates a signal where you "could" exit. For the risk averse trader that want some instant gratification when they hit 1:1, the indicator will show you exactly where 1:1 is. You can then follow whatever risk management strategy you wish to - personally I find this a point at which I breakeven my stop and take half the profits (now I can't lose!) :)
The indicator follows some basic Ichimoku trading rules - not all signals will result in a winning trade (this is NOT the holy grail and doesn't claim to be) - you should always follow you own risk management strategy. You should also couple this with additional analysis to try to qualify the entry signal i.e. "does this signal and direction correlate with what the higher timeframes are telling me?".
One last feature I added - mores for psychological reasons was to only show signals for the time window I would actually be trading. I hate seeing that I missed a signal when I wasn't online - and this doesn't set me up mentally for trading well. So if there was an opportunity when I would not be trading - it is matter under the bridge! It is gone and I don't want to see it as I would not have been there to take it. This trading window can be specified using the start and end times - the setting mentions EST - however you should relate them to the exchange time for the provider of the price feed - some providers may use a different timezone to others i.e. UTC vs EST.
Wish you the best of luck!
Please provide any constructive feedback as I would love to feature further enhancements to this indicator if it helps users.
BEST Risk to Reward UtilityHello Traders
This is a proof of concept and a cool pinescript utility
It displays a risk to reward division as a fractional value.
For example
Risk: 300
Reward: 600
This will be displayed as 1/2 as we can earn 2 units for a potential loss of 1 unit
(600/300 = 2) for those wondering the NASA level mathematics behind :)
Best regards
Dave
Autonomouscript
Hello friends, in this script, hand drawing and loyalty to terminals are minimized.
***FEATURES
1 - Rational Auto Support and Resistance Levels
NOTE : For 1W TF , you can take 0.000 - 1.000 for 1 area , i didn't find to necessary to autoplot this condition because of between levels are so large and for long term.
Multi time-frame
In small time frames, unreasonable support eliminates resistance levels.
Suitable for every pair.
If the prices change by region, automatic drawing is made in the new region and given to the screen.
Automatic Plotting Feature
Rational Levels
2 - Auto Risk/Reward Ratio Calculator
Calculations are made according to support and resistance in less than 4 hours TF.
The opposite is true for Short.
2 methods in 4 hours and larger time frames and two zones specified:
1. Price < 0.618 Level :
Long Position Calculation : From Current Support to 0.618 Level
Short Position Calculation: From Current Resistance to 0.000 Level
2. Price > 0.618 Level
Long Position Calculation :Support and 1.000 Level .
Short Position Calculation : Resistance and 0.000 Level
Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation Examples (TF = Timeframe) :
1 - TF < 4H and Long - Short Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation :
For Long Position :
For Short Position :
2 - TF > 4H and Long-Short Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation :
For Long Position :
For Short Position :
NOTE :
Some algorithms have been added to make this formulation accurate and safe.
Therefore, Stop-Loss can be flexed slightly under the support or on the resistance in short position.
The target does not change.
Staying on the safe side calculates the risk / reward ratio for the worst possible odds.
*** Since stop-loss levels are chosen close to support and resistance and determine financial leverage, there is absolutely no need for stop-loss, the investor can determine himself according to the risk / reward ratio.
Generally, the support is slightly lower for long and the resistance slightly reasonable for short.
3 - Moving Averages and Cloud
a-) Slow Moving Average (Fuchsia)
Uses Autonomous LSTM moving average for external timeframes of 1W, Relativity moving average for timeframes 1W and above.
NOTE : They are built on price instead of Stochastic Money Flow Index.
And because they are price based
The High-Low Selection Algorithm has been removed.
For more information :
Autonomous LSTM =>
Relativity =>
b-) Signal Moving Average (Blue)
I just added this average after long tests.
It was created based on the relative states of the Relativity and Autonomous LSTM and candle states.
It is very fast and adaptive but, you should definitely use the risk / reward ratio if you are going to trade just by looking at it.
c_) Cloud :
It is the region between fast and slow moving average.
Cloud Color : Red for : crossunder(price , signal ma) and Green for : crossover(price,signal ma)
d-) Plotarrows :
Plotted after crossover and crossunder closings to inform the intersection of the two adaptive moving averages.
e*) Triangle Shapes :
They only reports when the moving average of the signal is long and short. And cloud color is same but without risk/reward radio rule.Rules :
Blue : Long Condition with Long Risk/Reward Ratio < 2.5
Orange : Short Condition with Short Risk/Reward Ratio < 2.5
Green : Long Condition with Long Risk/Reward Ratio >= 2.5
Red : Short Condition with Short Risk/Reward Ratio >= 2.5
4 - INFOPANEL - Trader Panel
- Calculation results of Risk / Reward Ratios for each bar for Long and Short Position
- Current Support and Resistance Levels
- Percentage change of the price moving average (period = signal period) only in the signal period
* Percentage change of the volume moving average (period = signal period) only in the signal period
* Supply and Demand Bias :
They are given separately for both long and short (Bull - Bear).
It is the reflection of the quantum formulas that form the core of relativity.
Nevertheless, the signal moving averages data price and volume are also above in InfoPanel.
Important Note : Two starred rules are given to investors and traders to choose between the following facts :
Increasing Volume __ Increasing Price = > Healthy Bear Session
Increasing Price __ Increasing Volume = > Healthy Bull Session
Decreasing Volume __ Increasing Price = > Bulls are weakening
Decreasing Volume __ Decreasing Price = > Bears are weakening
*** SUMMARY AND USAGE :
NOTES
It's definitely not just for signals,
all data in the system
evaluating according to the current economic agenda,
carry out your trade like that.
You can zoom in using the zoom in zoom out feature (+) of Tradingview, especially in small timeframes.
And according to the signal average of the price, cloud coloring was made in green and red.
Because in some cases, infopanel can intervene and block small triangles.
Alerts :
There is no need for any precise alert.
In case of need, users can set alarms at support and resistance levels.
NOTE :
In the design and basic cases of support and resistance levels,inspired by borserman's this script:
Special thanks to him.
Last Note and Reminder
This script may will be updated in terms of design and simplification if deemed necessary.
Best regards.
Profit and Stoploss CalculatorThis script is designed to display three stop loss areas to assist either with automation of risk management or identify and alert when price is in a range of a trade for risk to reward ratio.
In this version there are three stop losses and 1 PT. Mainly because i will most likely only be using 1 of the SL to pair with the PT.
Stoploss areas are displayed on both sides of the price for long and short calculations along with the two profit factors but the settings in the indicator it self apply to both sides in terms of percentage.
ATR based Stop and Take-Profit levels in realtime Little tool to quickly identify stops and take-profit levels based on Average True Range. User can change ATR multipiers, as well as the ATR length used. Green and red lines show these levels; plot is visible over last 8 bars only to reduce clutter. Label showing the current ATR, up above the last bar
Leverage Strategy and a few words on risk/opportunityHello traders,
I started this script as a joke for someone... finally appears it could be used for educational content
Let's talk about leverage and margin call
Margin Call
A margin call is the broker's demand that an investor deposit additional money or securities so that the account is brought up to the minimum value, known as the maintenance margin.
A margin call usually means that one or more of the securities held in the margin account has decreased in value below a certain point.
Leverage
A leverage is a system which allows the trader to open positions much larger than his own capital. ... “Leverage” usually refers to the ratio between the position value and the investment needed,
Strat
The strategy simulates long/short positions on a 4h high/low breakout based on the chart candle close.
The panel below shows the strategy equity curve. Activating the margin call option will show when the account would be margin called giving the settings
Casino
I'm not doing any financial recommendation here.
I made this strategy so that people include more risk management metrics into their strategy.
From the code, we see it's fairly easy to calculate a leveraged position size and a margin call flag - when that flag is hit, the system stops trading.
I simplified things to the extreme here but my point is that the leverage is a double-edge sword gift.
Assuming we always take the same position sizing, increasing the leverage speed up how fast a margin could be ..... called. (bad joke? feel free to tell me). Not saying it will, saying it introduces more risk by design.
Then one could say "I'll just turn off that stupid margin call option". And that's when someone starts backtesting with unrealistic market conditions.
Finally...
When I backtest I always assume the worst in every scenario possible (because I'm French), I always try to minimize the risk first (also because I'm French), keeping as close from 0 as possible (French again)
Then I add the "opportunity" component, looking to catch the maximum of opportunity while keeping the risk low.
It's like a Rubix cube puzzle - decreasing the risk is one side of the equation but whenever I try to catch more opportunity... my risks increases.
Then I update my risk... and now the opportunity decreases... (#wut #wen #simple)
Completely removing the risk from a trading strategy isn't something I wouldn't dare doing.
Trading involves risk. Being obsessed by decreasing the risk is what I do BEST :)

Trade Manager/Pnl and Risk-Reward Panel (Plug&Play)Hello traders
The Trade Manager Standalone is finally back and with many more built-in features.
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. No TRIAL is available for that script. Available only with one-time payment on my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 What is a Trade Manager?🔎
2.1 Concept
Standalone Trade Manager compatible with any indicator.
Once connected, whenever you'll update your Algorithm Builders or your indicator, the Trade Manager Stop-loss, take-profit levels, and analytics get updated automatically. #bold #statement #but #actually #true
2.2 How hard is it to update your indicator?
We'll send to our customers, a comprehensive and easy tutorial, to make any indicator compatible.
I guarantee you, it should take no more than 2 minutes per indicator. We made it easy, fun, and awesome. #bolder #statement
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Trade Manager (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your RSI divergence to your Trade Manager.
I mentioned an RSI divergence but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic ✨, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bold #statement #level #9000
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 🧰 Features 🧰
4.1 Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
4.2 Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
4.4 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.

Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume we have an RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction every time you'll get a convergence.
PS: Whereas it's only the first time only because this is a Single trend edition.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning upfront you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
4.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
4.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
4.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
4.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
V. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
5.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
5.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
5.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
5.4 Built-in Trade Manager

- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.

5.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
5.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
5.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
VI. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VII. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VIII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VIII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
IX. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.

II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ was made to detect the convergence (also called confluence) of many unrelated indicators, giving a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.

Custom position sizerThis is a simple script to aid with determining position size.
Inputs are the intended entry price, desired risk (expressed as % of account at risk), account value, and leverage factor.
To use the script;
1. Identify and update the entry price (yellow line on the chart)
2. Update with desired risk
3. Update with account size
