Patient Trendfollower (7)(alpha)Patient Trendfollower consists of 21 and 55 EMA, Commodity Channel Index and Supertrend indicator. It confirms a trend and gives you a signal on a pullback. Original creation worked on 1h EURUSD chart.
►Long setup:
• 21 EMA is above 55 EMA, which is above the Supertrend indicator.
• Commodity Channel Index is an oscillator, which prints into the chart if extreme levels are reached. Green is for a level above 100 or below -100, red is above 140 or below -140 and black is above 180 or below -180.
• If 21 EMA > 55EMA > Supertrend and an oversold signal appear, you can buy into the trend.
• When backtesting on 1h EURUSD, profit target 400 pips worked best with a stop-loss below Supertrend's bottom and the size of your spread.
• A picture shows two valid entries.
: This part still malfunctions and shows red dots over some green ones. It is important to disable red ones in the settings to see green ones.
Some more long signals:
Some short signals:
►Backtesting data with default settings and trading only green CCI signals with mentioned risk management strategy:
• 212 closed trades
• 58.96% profitable with average win trade 348 USD and average loss trade 263 USD when only green signals are followed.
• Profit factor 1.903, Sharpee 0.792
• 20 bars is average for all trades, short trades were 18 bars long on average.
With given data, you can see the strategy is profitable by itself. However, original risk management settings do work only on 1h charts of EURUSD and would need to be adjusted for other instruments based on average volatility.
Even though the profitability is low, you can increase your odds by a great margin, if you properly use price action (impulsive and corrective moves, patterns, bar analysis), if you trade when major exchanges are open, you may also use wave analysis such as Elliot Waves or Market Profiles to predict whether the next day might be a trending day. My backtesting program didn't consider these ideas.
Unfortunately, I won't be making backtesting strategy public with it anytime soon, because it still has some parts that do not work. I am ok with that since I understand the code and know what does malfunction and how. Then, there are parts which I am not sure how to fix yet. This is why the indicator is still considered alpha.
In the future when a strategy is published, you will also be able to set your own overbought/oversold values without entering the code itself and probably some other features. But I am not in a hurry for that. You can give me feedback on UX and try to figure out the best setups for other symbols, it might help to improve the automatic testing script when I know what I should achieve. My main point is to make this public for friends who can already be using it on EURUSD at least.
Close doesn't always have to be 400 pips, you might want to close on a logical level such as strong resistance or a trendline too.
Thanks to:
• @everget for providing Supertrend solution.
• Satik FX who hand-tested the system by hand and reported results in this article . He is my main inspiration for creating the complete indicator as one because I want to be able to show and hide it with a single click. My future scripts will also work as a whole strategy each by itself.
• The number in the script's name comes from Satik's numbering. A mentioned article was his seventh shared strategy.

Efficient PriceTrading The Movements That Matters
Inspired by the Price Volume Trend indicator the Efficient Price aim to create a better version of the price containing only the information a trend trader must need.
Calculation
This indicator use the Efficiency Ratio as a smoothing constant, it is calculated as follow :
ER = abs(change(close,length))/sum(abs(change(close)),length)
The goal of the Efficiency Ratio is to show if the market is trending or ranging.If ER is high then the market is considered to be trending, if ER is low then the market is considered to be ranging.
Then the Efficient Price is calculated :
EP = cum(change(close)*ER)
When the price is trending, the indicator will show movements of the price with unchanged volatility, but if the price is not trending then the indicator will flatten those movements.Think of this indicator as both a filter and a compressor and the Efficient Price as some kind of threshold.
The Efficient Price As Input For Indicators/Strategies
If the indicator show the movement of the trending price, it can be interesting to use it as input in order to reduce the number of false signals in a strategy.
We will test 2 MACD strategy provided by tradingview, one using the closing price (In Red) and one with the efficient price (In White) as input
with both the following parameters :
fastLength = 50
slowlength = 200
MACDLength = 20
length = 50
Where length is the parameter of the Efficient Price.A spread of 2 pips is used.
Without Efficient Price : 26.88% of profitability, 69 pips of profit.
With Efficient Price : 38.46% of profitability, 336 pips of profit.
The difference of profitability is of 11.58%, the strategy with the Efficient Price made few trades and its equity have a lower variance than the equity of the MACD strategy using closing price.
Smoothed Version
It is possible to smooth the indicator output by using the following code :
EP = cum(change(close,length)*ER)
Hope you enjoy
For any questions/demands feel free to pm me, i would be happy to help you
Gold/Silver 30m Only Strategy Buy/Sell SignalsIn my free time I felt like coding this strategy, and after backtesting it, it appears that the 30m time frame is the most profitable.
I only have been working on it for gold, but it should work similarly for silver as well.
This includes no pyramiding, and with pyramiding orders of 5, this strategy is upwards of 100% profitable.
Buy order - when price is above the 162 day EMA and RSI is less than 35
Sell order - when price is below the 162 day EMA and RSI is greater than 65
I will probably be adjusting it to increase the profitability and %success rate.
Bullish Divergent Bar DCA Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
Bullish Divergent Bar DCA Strategy is a long-only, multi-layer Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy that builds positions around bullish divergent bars formed below the Williams Alligator. It detects potential local bottoms and then scales into the move using up to four pyramiding entries, each with its own size and price threshold. The strategy optionally incorporates Market Facilitation Index (MFI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) momentum to strengthen reversal confirmation and uses ATR-based take profit on the averaged entry price.
Unique Features
Layered DCA entries with equity-based sizing . It supports up to four DCA layers, where each additional layer is opened only after a configurable percentage drawdown from the first entry and position size is computed as a fraction of current equity via a geometric weighting scheme.
Optional AO and MFI confirmation . Users can require Awesome Oscillator momentum divergence, MFI/volume “squat” bars, or both to confirm that the reversal bar is accompanied by capitulation and weakening downside momentum.
ATR-based dynamic take profit . Take profit is defined as a multiple of ATR added to the current average entry price, automatically adjusting exits to prevailing volatility.
Built-in DCA visualization . The script can plot the initial entry level and all DCA thresholds to make the averaging structure and risk visually transparent on the chart.
Methodology
The core entry logic starts from a bullish divergent bar definition: the bar must close above its midpoint (close > hl2) and be the lowest low within the user-defined lookback window, flagging a local swing low. On top of this, the bar must form entirely below all three Alligator lines, ensuring that the pattern appears after a sustained downside move rather than inside noise.
If enabled, AO adds a momentum filter by requiring the Awesome Oscillator difference to be negative (descending bar on AO histogram), signaling fading downside momentum at the potential bottom. If the MFI filter is enabled, the bar (or one of the last two bars) must be a “squat” bar where spread narrows while volume increases, approximating effort vs. result exhaustion.
Once a valid bullish reversal bar is detected and the time is within the configured trading window, the strategy opens the first DCA layer using a stop entry at the bar’s high (confirmation level), only entering if price actually breaks the bar high. Additional layers (second, third, and fourth entries) are only allowed if price trades below percentage thresholds from the first entry price and a new valid bullish reversal bar forms, thereby averaging down into deep pullbacks while still requiring fresh reversal evidence.
While any DCA position is open, the strategy continuously recalculates the take profit as the current volume-weighted average entry price plus ATR multiplied by a user-defined factor. All individual entries share the same take profit level through separate strategy exit calls, so the entire stacked position exits together once price has moved sufficiently above the averaged entry.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window, users can configure the following strategy settings:
sourceUuid / secretToken: Identifiers used to format JSON alerts for automated execution through webhooks.
Trade Start Date/Time: Beginning of the backtest/live-trading window.
Trade Stop Date/Time: End of the backtest/live-trading window.
Show DCA Levels (default = false): Toggles plotting of the initial entry level and all three DCA thresholds on the chart.
Enable MFI (default = false): Enables the MFI-style volume/spread filter.
Enable AO (default = false): Enables Awesome Oscillator confirmation.
Number Of Bar For Lowest Bar (default = 7): Lookback window used to identify the lowest low bar for the bullish reversal bar condition.
Layer 2 Threshold Percent (default = 4.0): Percentage drop from the first layer price that must be reached to allow the second DCA entry.
Layer 3 Threshold Percent (default = 10.0): Percentage drop from the first layer price required to unlock the third DCA layer.
Layer 4 Threshold Percent (default = 22.0): Percentage drop from the first layer price required to unlock the fourth DCA layer.
Position Size Multiplier (default = 2.0): Multiplier used in the geometric weighting scheme to determine how much equity is allocated to each additional DCA layer.
Number Of ATR For Take Profit (default = 2.0): ATR multiple added to the current average entry price to calculate the shared take profit for all open layers.
Users can refine these parameters during backtesting to fit the volatility profile and structure of the specific asset and timeframe.
Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is Williams Alligator, MFI and AO.
let’s start with the Williams Alligator. Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends.
The formula for AO is as follows:
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential divergent bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.
The strategy intentionally focuses on bullish divergent bars forming at local lows and below the Alligator to catch potential exhaustion points in downtrends where risk/reward becomes asymmetric. The Alligator (Jaw, Teeth, Lips) acts as a dynamic structure filter: requiring price to be below all three lines before reversal helps avoid chasing minor pullbacks inside an ongoing uptrend and instead concentrates entries on deeper corrections where mean reversion potential is higher.
The custom bullish divergent bar rule (close above midpoint and being the lowest low over N bars) approximates a local capitulation candle, which often precedes short squeezes or at least strong reactions. By combining this with AO and MFI-style filters, the strategy further increases the likelihood that the pattern coincides with downside momentum(as a confirmation that current trend is downward, AO difference < 0) and effort vs. result anomalies (squat bars), which is common signatures of trend exhaustion.
The DCA structure is designed to deploy capital progressively rather than all at once: the first entry is triggered only if price confirms the reversal by breaking above the bar’s high, while subsequent layers require both a deeper discount relative to the initial entry and a new bullish reversal signal. Percentage thresholds from the first entry ensure that each additional allocation is made at meaningfully better prices, improving the blended entry level and reducing the break-even distance.
Finally, using ATR as the basis for take profit aligns exits with current volatility. A fixed-percentage target can be too tight in volatile regimes or too loose in quiet markets, whereas ATR-based targets scale with average bar range. Applying ATR to the evolving average entry price of all open layers keeps the risk/reward framework consistent across different volatility regimes and DCA configurations.

Open Interest [OI] & Liquidation Flow█ THE DUAL-ENGINE ARCHITECTURE: A FUSION OF TWO CRITICAL FORCES
The power of this suite comes from its dual-engine design. It isolates and analyzes the two opposing forces that truly drive modern markets: the informed positioning of institutions and the often-misguided sentiment of the retail crowd. A high-probability trade signal is only generated at the precise moment these two forces come into critical conflict.
ENGINE 1: The Open Interest (OI) & Position Flow Engine
This is your lens into the institutional world. Its primary function is to track the flow of money into and out of the market, revealing the true intent of large players.
Live OI Integration: In a groundbreaking feature for TradingView, this engine includes a Smart Symbol Detector that automatically seeks and integrates LIVE Open Interest data for supported markets (CME, Binance, Bybit, etc.). When available, you are seeing a direct feed of net new positions entering the market.
12-Factor Synthetic OI Model: When live OI data is not available, the engine synthesizes a high-fidelity proxy by analyzing 12 distinct factors, including Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), Absorption, Effort vs. Result, and Institutional Bias.
Curvature Analysis: We don't just look at the flow; we analyze its Velocity and
Acceleration . A sharp acceleration in bullish OI Flow is a powerful sign that institutions are aggressively building long positions.
INTERPRETATION: This engine tells you what the "smart money" is doing. A divergence—where price is falling but OI Flow is rising—is a classic sign that institutions are quietly absorbing retail panic, often preceding a violent reversal upwards.
ENGINE 2: The Liquidation Flow & Crowd Engine
This engine operates on a powerful contrarian philosophy: the market is designed to inflict maximum pain on the largest number of participants. It identifies when the retail "herd" is over-leveraged and positioned for a fall.
Crowd Positioning Model: It analyzes factors like extreme RSI levels, deviation from Fair Value (VWAP), and "chase behavior" (e.g., many consecutive bullish candles) to determine when the retail crowd is dangerously over-exposed.
Risk Analysis: It synthesizes multiple risk factors—crowding, momentum divergence, exhaustion—into a single, easy-to-read Liquidation Risk percentage .
Fear & Greed Skew: It measures the volatility skew in the options market to provide a direct gauge of market-wide fear and greed, adding a final layer of sentimental context.
HOW TO USE IT: This is your liquidation radar. When Liquidation Risk is HIGH and the Crowd is positioned heavily LONG, the market is primed for a long squeeze (a liquidation cascade downwards). Conversely, when the Crowd is heavily SHORT, a short squeeze is highly probable.
█ THE SECRET SAUCE: UNIVERSAL ADAPTABILITY
The genius of this engine lies in its ability to work on any asset, in any timeframe, without manual recalibration. This is achieved through Z-Score Normalization . Every piece of data is converted from a raw value into a statistical score representing its deviation from the "norm." A +2.0 sigma event represents an extreme outlier, whether it's on a 1-minute chart of a crypto asset or a daily chart of a stock. This makes the signals universally comparable and allows the engine to automatically adapt to the unique volatility and character of any market.
█ THE ARSENAL: MASTERING THE VISUALS & ON-CHART TOOLS
Every visual element is a data-rich component designed for rapid, intuitive interpretation.
The Lower Pane Visualizer
This is your primary intelligence dashboard, with four distinct modes to view the underlying market forces:
Classic Flow (Default): A multi-column view perfect for spotting divergences between price and the underlying flow of money and sentiment.
Heatmap Matrix: A color-density grid designed to identify "cluster" events where multiple engines light up simultaneously, signaling institutional consensus.
Oscillator Pro: A zero-centered line visualization for traders who prefer crossover and momentum-style analysis.
Delta Waterfall: A unique cascading visualization that shows the cumulative "weight" of the market, stacking the pressure from each engine to reveal the dominant force.
Main Chart Overlays
BUY/SELL Signals: These are the primary, high-conviction reversal signals. They are not simple crossovers; they are the result of a rigorous confirmation process where institutional OI Flow directly conflicts with a vulnerable retail Liquidation Flow.
Minor Triangles (▲▼): Secondary momentum signals that are excellent for scalping, confirming a trend, or adding to a winning position.
Supply/Demand Zones: When a strong, institutionally-backed signal fires, the script automatically plots a defended zone (Red for Supply, Green for Demand), highlighting future high-probability reversal areas.
Key Levels: Automatically extends lines from significant highs and lows where a major flow reversal occurred, highlighting critical support and resistance.
High Risk Diamonds (💎): A critical risk management tool. These markers appear when conditions are ripe for a liquidation cascade. This is an explicit warning to take profits or stand aside.

█ THE COMMAND CENTER: MASTERING THE INPUTS
This suite offers deep customization for the professional trader.
Analysis Length: The "memory" of the flow engine. Use shorter lengths (10-14) for scalping and longer lengths (21+) for swing trading.
Signal Sensitivity: A master control to switch between Conservative (fewer, higher-quality signals), Normal (balanced), and Aggressive (more frequent signals for scalping) modes.
Display Toggles: Individually enable or disable any of the core components in the lower pane to create your perfect analytical view.
Overlay Controls: Individually toggle all on-chart visuals and control the maximum number of Zones and Key Levels to maintain a clean workspace.
█ THE OPTIMIZER ENGINE: VALIDATE BEFORE YOU TRADE
Confidence comes from data. The built-in Optimizer Engine is a powerful backtester that runs on your chart's visible data. It allows you to rapidly test different ATR-based Take Profit and Stop Loss parameters, providing key metrics like Win Rate, Profit Factor, and a proprietary Stability Rating ( ROBUST, STABLE, FRAGILE, OVERFIT ) to help you find the most statistically sound settings for your specific asset and timeframe before risking capital.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
This indicator was born from a single, guiding principle: to win in modern markets, you must stop listening to the noise of price and start analyzing the signal of flow. Price is where amateurs look; flow is where professionals find their edge. This tool is our attempt to level the playing field, translating the opaque world of derivatives and institutional positioning into a clear, intuitive, and actionable intelligence system.
This tool is for the serious student of the market—the trader who seeks to understand the "why" behind the move, not just the "what."
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS AN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOL: This indicator provides intelligence, not financial advice. It should be used as a core component of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes your own analysis of market structure and risk management.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose. This indicator does not guarantee profits.
SIGNAL HIERARCHY IS KEY: Treat the main BUY/SELL labels as your primary signals. Use the minor triangles to add to positions or for scalping. Use the High Risk diamonds as a signal to reduce exposure and take profits.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: For the highest probability setups, use the indicator on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H) to establish an institutional bias, then take signals on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m) that align with that bias.
"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."

ADX Curvature SuiteADX² Curvature Suite: Beyond Trend Strength
Detect Trend Ignition Before the Crowd by Analyzing the Second Derivative of Momentum.
█ OVERVIEW: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN TREND ANALYSIS
This is not another ADX indicator. This is a complete paradigm shift in how we perceive and trade trends.
The standard Average Directional Index (ADX) is a powerful but fundamentally flawed tool for the modern trader. It is a lagging indicator. It tells you that a trend existed . It confirms what has already happened. The ADX² Curvature Suite was engineered to solve this problem by asking a more profound question: not "Is there a trend?" but " Is a trend being born right now? " and " Is this established trend about to die? "
To achieve this, we go beyond the first dimension of trend strength and venture into the second and third dimensions: Velocity and Acceleration . We don't just measure the ADX value; we measure its rate of change, and the rate of change of its rate of change. This is Curvature Analysis . It allows us to see the subtle, invisible forces building beneath the surface of the market—the coiling spring of momentum right before a trend explodes, and the critical loss of thrust right before it collapses.
This suite is a fusion of three professional-grade analytical engines working in perfect concert:
The Curvature Engine: A sophisticated calculus-based system that computes the 1st and 2nd derivatives of the ADX to quantify its momentum.
The Phase Detection System: A proprietary model that classifies the market into one of six distinct phases in a trend's lifecycle, from Dormancy to Exhaustion.
The Quantum Vortex Bands™: A visually stunning, adaptive volatility and momentum channel for the ADX itself, providing context to its every move.
Together, they form a comprehensive decision-support system designed to give you an almost unfair advantage in identifying trend ignition and exhaustion points before the rest of the market has even registered a change.
█ THE SCIENCE: THE THREE PILLARS OF ADX²
The genius of this suite lies in its multi-layered mathematical foundation. It's a symphony of classical theory and modern statistical analysis.
Pillar 1: The Core ADX Engine (The "What")
At its base, the suite uses the classic ADX calculation developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. It measures the strength of a trend, irrespective of its direction, on a scale of 0-100. The Directional Movement Indicators (+DI and -DI) provide the directional bias. This is our foundation—the raw data from which we extract a higher-dimensional truth.
Pillar 2: Curvature Analysis (The "When")
This is the revolutionary core of ADX². We apply the principles of differential calculus to the ADX line itself.
Velocity (1st Derivative): Calculated as ADX - ADX . This is the speed of the ADX. A positive velocity means trend strength is increasing. A negative velocity means it's decreasing. This is a leading indicator compared to the ADX value alone.
Acceleration (2nd Derivative): Calculated as Velocity - Velocity or ADX - 2*ADX + ADX . This is the change in speed of the ADX. It's the "force" being applied to the trend.
Positive Acceleration is like pressing the gas pedal on a car. It signifies a trend is not just strengthening, but strengthening at an increasing rate. This is the mathematical signature of Ignition .
Negative Acceleration is like hitting the brakes. It signifies a trend is losing thrust, even if its speed (ADX value) is still high. This is the mathematical signature of Exhaustion .
By analyzing these derivatives, we can identify critical inflection points in trend momentum that are completely invisible to anyone looking at the standard ADX alone.
Pillar 3: Z-Score Normalization (The "How")
Raw acceleration values are meaningless when comparing different assets or timeframes. An acceleration spike on NQ is vastly different from one on EURUSD. To solve this, we employ a powerful statistical tool: the Z-Score .
The Z-Score formula is: Z = (Value - Mean) / Standard_Deviation
We apply this to our calculated acceleration values. The result is a normalized score that tells us how many standard deviations away from the "normal" behavior the current acceleration is. A Z-Score of +2.0 means the current acceleration is a 2-sigma event—statistically significant and rare. This makes our signals universal and adaptive . A +2.0 sigma Ignition signal has the same statistical weight on a 1-minute chart of a volatile crypto as it does on a daily chart of a stable stock. This is what allows the suite to work out-of-the-box on virtually any market, automatically adapting to its unique volatility and character.
█ THE SIX PHASES OF A TREND: A MARKET LIFECYCLE
The ADX² engine uses its curvature and Z-Score data to classify the market into one of six distinct phases, providing a clear, color-coded narrative of the trend's lifecycle.
💤 DORMANT: ADX is low and flat. The market is consolidating. There is no trend. This is the time to stand aside and wait.
⚡ IGNITION: ADX is low, but a powerful spike in positive acceleration has been detected. The engine of a new trend is firing up. This is your earliest entry signal.
🚀 ACCELERATION: ADX is rising with positive velocity. The trend has left the station and is gaining momentum. This is the main "trend following" phase.
🏔 MATURE: ADX is high and its velocity is flattening. The trend is well-established and powerful, but no longer accelerating. This is a time to be cautious and manage positions.
🔥 EXHAUSTION: ADX is high, but a significant negative acceleration event has occurred. The trend has hit the brakes hard. A reversal or deep pullback is highly probable. This is your primary exit signal.
📉 DECLINE: ADX is falling with negative velocity. The trend's strength is actively fading, and the market is returning to a dormant state.
█ THE ARSENAL: MASTERING THE VISUALS
Every visual element is a data-rich component designed for rapid interpretation.
The Main Chart: Signals & Trade Management
Signal Shapes: Every signal appears as a shape on the main chart.
Triangles (▲▼): These are the highest conviction signals— Ignition and
Exhaustion . Their color indicates the specific event type.
X-Crosses (◇): These mark Divergences between price and ADX—powerful reversal warnings.
Kill Zone Labels: These are dynamic, floating labels that appear in real-time when high-probability conditions are met.
⚡ IGNITION ZONE: Appears below price when the market is dormant but curvature is building. It's a "prepare to engage" warning.
🔥 EXHAUSTION ZONE: Appears above price when the trend is mature but rapidly decelerating. It's a "prepare to exit" warning.
The Signal Line System: When a signal fires, a full trade management overlay can be drawn.
Entry Line: A colored line (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) at the signal price.
SL/TP Lines: Dotted lines showing ATR-based Stop Loss (Red) and up to 3 Take Profit levels (Green).
Live Tracking: The lines track progress, dimming when a TP is hit and self-deleting upon completion, leaving a ✓ for a win or an ✗ for a loss. It's a visual backtester on your live chart.
The Lower Pane: The Engine Room
The ADX Line: The line itself is color-coded. A dull color indicates low ADX, a neutral color for a building trend, and a bright, vibrant color for a high, mature trend.
Signal Dots: Colored circles and crosses are plotted directly on the ADX line, allowing you to instantly correlate the signal with the exact ADX level and phase.
The Quantum Vortex Bands™: This is not a Bollinger Band. This is a dynamic, six-layered channel for the ADX itself.
Adaptive Width: The bands expand and contract based on both ADX volatility and its current acceleration (curvature). High acceleration forces the bands wider, anticipating a larger move.
Phase-Adaptive Colors: The fill color of the bands changes dynamically to match the currently detected market phase, giving you an at-a-glance understanding of the trend's health.
Interpretation: When ADX pushes to the outer bands, it's in an extreme state. An Ignition signal when ADX is at the lower band is a high-conviction entry. An Exhaustion signal when ADX is at the upper band is a high-conviction exit.

MOMENTUM Section: This is the curvature readout. It displays the numerical Velocity (VEL), the Z-Score of the Curvature (CURV), and the RSI of the ADX (RSI²) for a meta-momentum perspective.
PHASE Section: Your at-a-glance trend lifecycle status. It shows the current confirmed phase icon and name (e.g., "⚡ IGNITION"), a counter for how many bars the phase has been active, and the type/strength of any active signal.
STATUS Section: A quick check on secondary systems. It confirms if you are in a Kill Zone, if a Divergence is active, and the count of active Signal Lines on your chart.
OPTIMIZER Section: When enabled, this section displays the results of the built-in backtester, including Win Rate, Profit Factor, and a proprietary Stability Rating ( ROBUST, STABLE, FRAGILE, OVERFIT ) to help you validate your settings.
█ THE COMMAND CENTER: MASTERING THE INPUTS
Every parameter of the ADX² engine is exposed for your control. This allows for unparalleled fine-tuning to any market, timeframe, or trading style.
Core ADX & Curvature Settings
ADX/DI Length & Smoothing: Standard ADX parameters. How to use: Shorter lengths (e.g., 10) for scalping; longer lengths (e.g., 21) for swing trading. Stick to "RMA" smoothing for the classic feel.
Curvature Smoothing: This is the "secret sauce." It smooths the velocity and acceleration calculations. How to use: Use a low value (2-3) for volatile markets or low timeframes to remain responsive. Use a higher value (4-5) for smoother signals on higher timeframes.
Z-Score Lookback & Threshold: Controls the normalization engine. How to use: The Lookback (default 50) sets the "memory" for what is "normal." The Threshold is for the generic curvature spike signals (circles). A higher value (e.g., 2.5σ) will only show extreme events.
Signal Detection Settings
Ignition/Exhaustion Thresholds: The Z-Score level required to trigger the primary phase-change signals. How to use: A lower threshold (e.g., 1.0σ) will give earlier, more frequent signals with more false positives. A higher threshold (e.g., 2.0σ) will give later, less frequent, but higher-conviction signals.
Low/High ADX Levels: These define the boundaries for the phases. Low ADX (default 20) is the ceiling for the Dormant phase. High ADX (default 40) is the floor for the Mature phase. How to use: For choppy markets, you might raise the Low ADX to 22 to avoid false ignitions. For strongly trending markets, you might lower the High ADX to 35 to get earlier exhaustion warnings.
Min Bars Between Signals: A crucial spam filter. It enforces a "cooldown period" after a signal fires, preventing over-trading in choppy conditions.
Signal Lines & Trade Management
SL/TP Multipliers (xATR): Fully customize the risk-to-reward profile of the visual trade overlays. The system uses the Average True Range (ATR) for volatility-adaptive targets. How to use: For day trading, a 1.5 ATR Stop Loss and 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ATR Take Profits is a balanced approach. For swing trading, you might use a wider 2.5 ATR stop and more ambitious targets.
Quantum Vortex Bands™
Band Mode: Choose from four distinct geometric configurations ( Triple Layer, Fractal Cloud, Momentum Tunnel, Phase Spectrum ) to visually optimize the bands for your specific market type—from high-volatility crypto to tight-ranging indices.
Band Width Multiplier: The master control for the overall width of the bands, allowing you to tune them to be tighter or wider based on your instrument's character.
The Optimizer Engine
Toggle the built-in backtester to rapidly test your settings. Adjust the optTP and optSL to find the most ROBUST configuration for your chart's visible data before committing to a strategy.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The ADX² Curvature Suite was born from a deep dissatisfaction with the static, lagging nature of conventional technical analysis. We believe the future of trading lies not in measuring where the market has been, but in quantifying the forces that will determine where it is going next. By applying calculus and adaptive statistics to a classic indicator, we've created a tool that doesn't just show you the trend; it reveals its DNA. It is complex by necessity, because the market is complex. My mission is to translate that complexity into actionable clarity.
This suite is my attempt to provide the ultimate tool for "sizing up the entire market," giving you the ability to see the very inception and conclusion of those main movements where the real money is made.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE SYSTEM: The ADX² Suite is an advanced decision-support tool. It should be used in conjunction with your own analysis of price action, support/resistance, and market structure.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves risk. The visual SL/TP lines are for guidance only. Always use proper position sizing and risk management protocols. This indicator does not guarantee profits.
BACKTEST AND OPTIMIZE: Use the built-in Optimizer Engine and TradingView's Strategy Tester to find the settings that are most robust for your chosen instrument and timeframe before trading live.
HIGH-CONVICTION SETUPS: The highest probability signals occur when multiple factors align: An Ignition signal fires from a low ADX level, near the bottom of the Vortex Bands, in a confirmed Kill Zone, and in the direction of the higher timeframe bias.
"The big money is not in the individual fluctuations, but in the main movements – that is, not in reading the tape, but in sizing up the entire market and its trend."

Hooke's Law: Market ElasticityHooke's Law: Market Elasticity is a physics-based mean reversion system that models price action using the principles of Classical Mechanics.
Most technical indicators treat the market as a purely statistical entity. This script takes a different approach, treating the market as a physical object with Mass (Volume) and Stiffness (Volatility) . By adapting Hooke’s Law of Elasticity (𝐹=−𝑘𝑋), it visualizes the "Tensile Stress" between price and its equilibrium, identifying the exact moment when a trend becomes unsustainable and must "snap back."
The Physics of Trading
In physics, Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched. We map this to financial markets using four key components:
Equilibrium (𝑋=0): The "Resting State" of the market, calculated using a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) . This represents the fair value where buyers and sellers agree.
2. Displacement (𝑋): The distance price travels away from this equilibrium.
3. Spring Constant (𝑘): We use Volatility (Standard Deviation) to measure the market's "stiffness."
• Low Volatility: The spring is loose; price can wander far without snapping.
• High Volatility: The spring is stiff; even small deviations create massive tension.
4. Force (𝐹): The calculation is weighted by Relative Volume . A price spike on low volume has low force (easy to reverse), while a spike on high volume carries high momentum (harder to reverse).
Visual Guide & Signals
The indicator uses a hierarchy of visuals to guide you through the trade lifecycle:
1. The Elastic Ribbon (Heatmap)
Connects Price to the Baseline. As the ribbon turns Solid White , the market has reached its Elastic Limit (Critical Zone). This is your warning that a move is overextended.
2. The "Golden" Labels (LONG / SHORT)
These are your Entry Signals . They appear only when the physics "snap" is confirmed by an internal momentum filter and price action.
3. The Small Circles (Minor Reversions)
These dots represent "Minor Snaps." They occur when the elastic tension releases, but the momentum filter hasn't fully confirmed a major reversal.
• Usage: These are excellent Early Warning signs or Scale-In points for aggressive traders.
Strategy: Entries, Exits & Take Profits
This script is designed as a complete system. Here is how to manage the trade using the visual cues:
• Entry: Wait for a LONG or SHORT label to appear.
• Stop Loss: Use the Solid White Line that appears automatically with the signal. If price touches this line, the physics setup has failed—exit immediately.
• Take Profit 1 (The Equilibrium): The Gray Baseline represents the market's center of gravity. In mean reversion trading, price tends to snap back to this line. This is the statistically highest-probability target.
• Take Profit 2 (The Circles): If you are in a trade and a Circle appears in the opposite direction, it indicates the market is experiencing counter-tension. This is an ideal place to secure partial profits or trail your stop.
Settings & Configuration
• Baseline Length (Default: 34): The lookback period for the Center of Gravity.
• Elasticity Limit (Default: 2.618): The Golden Ratio is used as the standard deviation threshold for the "Critical Zone."
• Volume Weighting (Default: True): Recommended. Adds the "Mass" component to the physics calculation.
• Stop Loss Buffer (Default: 0.5): The distance (in Sigma) for the Stop Loss placement.
Risk Disclaimer
Not Financial Advice: This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes only. It visualizes market data based on mathematical formulas (Hooke's Law and Statistical Deviation) and does not guarantee future performance or profits.
Market Risks: Financial trading involves significant risk. The "Critical Zones" and "Signals" generated by this script identify statistical extremes, but markets can remain irrational or overextended for long periods ("Plastic Deformation").
Usage: Do not trade blindly based on these signals. Always use this tool in conjunction with your own analysis, risk management, and stop-losses. The author assumes no responsibility for any trading losses incurred while using this script.
Gold Futures Prop-Firm Strategy (GC) 1-18-2026Overview

Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite v1 - The Strategy GuideHere is the complete **Strategy Guide** translated into English.

# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.
TA Confluence Scanner v2.9 | Mint_Algo📘 TA Confluence Scanner
Introduction
The TA Confluence Scanner is a multi-factor trend system designed to filter market noise and identify high-probability trade setups. By combining adaptive algorithms (KAMA) with Price Action methodologies (SMC, Breakouts, Fractals), this indicator operates on the principle of Confluence : a signal is only valid when multiple independent tools agree on the direction.
Instead of relying on a single lagging indicator (like just MA fast and slow crossover), this script acts as a "Scanner," evaluating the market state through Volatility, Trend Structure, and Equilibrium.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Important Note
To make this "Plug & Play," I have included optimized presets in the settings for different timeframes (1m/15m-1h/4h-1D) and trading styles (Scalper, Intraday, Swing, Investor) tested on symbols:
FX:EURUSD
IG:NASDAQ
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD
BINANCE:ETHUSD
CAPITALCOM:US500
OANDA:XAUUSD
NASDAQ:AAPL
NASDAQ:TSLA
BUT default settings already include a good preset which excludes most of the noise and grabs the trend better (fewer entries, but quality is higher).
Check the presets at the bottom 👇
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Core Features
Adaptive Trend Filter (KAMA): Adjusts to market volatility to distinguish between chop and true trends.
SMC Equilibrium (EQ) Fans: A three-tiered dynamic structure (Fast, Medium, Slow) for trailing stops and targets.
Confluence Counter: Visually displays the strength of a signal (e.g., "Strong 4/6") based on how many factors align.
Re-Entry Logic: Identifies low-risk entry points within an existing trend.
Automated S/R & Breakouts: Detects key pivot levels and structural breaks.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
Settings & Components Breakdown
1. KAMA (Primary Trend Filter)
The backbone of the system. It calculates the Efficiency Ratio (ER) of price movement.
How it works: If the ER is high (strong trend), KAMA follows price closely. If ER is low (ranging), KAMA flattens out to prevent false signals.
Tuning:
Fast (ER ~100/5/60): For Scalping.
Smooth: Default settings are optimized for a balance between lag and noise reduction.
2. SMC Equilibrium (EQ Structure)
Based on the HL2 formula (High+Low / 2), this creates a "fan" of three lines:
EQ1 (Fast): The aggressive line. Used for early exits or scalping stops.
EQ2 (Medium): The baseline trend structure.
EQ3 (Slow): The major trend container. Used for position trading.
Usage: Use these lines to gauge how far price has deviated from its "fair value."
3. Breakout & Internal Trend
Lookback Period: Defines the range for a valid breakout. A lower lookback (e.g., 10) gives earlier signals but more noise; a higher lookback (e.g., 20-30) confirms significant structural breaks.
Internal Trend: A simplified SMA check to ensure immediate momentum aligns with the macro trend.
4. Signal Strength (The Confluence Meter)
The indicator counts active signals from: KAMA, Internal Trend, S/R, FVG, Breakout, and EQ.
Strong Signal: When the count hits your threshold (e.g., 4/6 ). This suggests a high-probability reversal or breakout.
Medium Signal (Triangles): These appear when the trend is active but not all filters align. These are excellent continuation/re-entry points.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
How to Trade (Strategy Guide)
🎯 The Entry
Wait for a Strong Signal (Large Label). This confirms that volatility, structure, and momentum have aligned.
Conservative: Wait for the candle to close.
Aggressive: Enter on the breakout of the KAMA line.
🔄 Re-Entry & Continuation
Markets rarely move in a straight line.
Scenario: You missed the initial "Strong" entry, or you took profit and want to re-enter.
The Signal: Look for the small Triangles (Medium signals). These often appear after a pullback when price resumes the main trend.
Logic: If the main KAMA trend is still green/red, but the "Strong" signal isn't firing, a Triangle indicates a safe place to add to a position.
⚠️ Pyramiding & Risk Management (Advanced)
The EQ Lines (Fast/Medium/Slow) are designed for a tiered position management strategy:
Entry: Open position (e.g., 0.03 lots).
First Take Profit: When price extends far beyond EQ1 (Fast) , lock in partial profits.
Trailing Stop: Move your Stop Loss to trace the EQ2 (Medium) line.
Trend Riding: Hold the "Runner" portion of your position until price closes back under EQ3 (Slow) or the KAMA line.
Tip: Use William Fractals (Period 2) to pinpoint exact swing highs/lows for tightening stops.

Recommended Pairing:
For best results, pair this with a momentum oscillator like RSI to detect the range regime of a trend. Or DI+ and DI- (when it crosses over each other, that means the "range of possible" regime change of a trend).

VIOP Scalping - OriginalVIOP Scalping – Original is a rule-based scalping strategy ported from an original C# logic set. It aims to trade only when trend direction, momentum, and trend strength align, then manages the position using fixed take-profit/stop-loss percentages with an optional trailing mechanism to protect gains during favorable moves.
This strategy is provided for educational and backtesting purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee profitability. Always test thoroughly before any live usage.
Core Concept
Follow the dominant WMA trend, confirm momentum with EMA separation, filter conditions with RSI + ADX, then exit using fixed TP/SL with trailing behavior after a defined profit threshold.
How the Strategy Works
Trend Direction is defined by WMA: above WMA = long bias, below WMA = short bias.
Momentum is measured via Fast EMA vs Slow EMA and the EMA difference.
Trend Strength is confirmed using ADX (must exceed a threshold).
RSI filters trades to avoid entering when momentum is likely overextended or weak.
A no-trade session blocks entries during a predefined time window (default 09:30–10:05).
Exit logic uses fixed percent TP/SL, with an optional trailing mechanism that activates after a profit threshold.
Inputs and Settings
Trend and Indicator Settings
Main Trend WMA: Determines directional bias (price above = long, price below = short).
Fast EMA / Slow EMA: Used to measure momentum and directional separation.
RSI Period: Filters entries based on RSI range constraints.
ADX Period: Measures trend strength (must exceed threshold to allow entries).
Threshold Settings
EMA Difference Threshold: Minimum EMA separation required to validate momentum.
ADX Threshold: Minimum ADX required to confirm trend strength.
RSI Long Ceiling: RSI must remain below this value for long entries.
RSI Short Floor: RSI must remain above this value for short entries.
Risk Management Settings
Take Profit %: Default TP distance in percent.
Strong Trend Take Profit %: Higher TP used when a “strong trend” condition is detected.
Stop Loss %: Fixed SL distance in percent.
Trailing Activation %: Profit threshold at which trailing starts.
Trailing Distance %: Trailing offset distance used once trailing is active.
Time Filter
No-Trade Hours: Default session is 09:30–10:05. During this window, the strategy does not open new trades.
Entry Logic
No-Trade Time Filter
If the current bar falls inside the no-trade session, entries are blocked.
Long Entry Conditions
Price is above the WMA trend line.
EMA difference is positive and greater than the EMA Difference Threshold.
EMA momentum is increasing (current EMA diff > previous EMA diff).
RSI is within the defined range (RSI > 48 and RSI < RSI Long Ceiling).
Close is higher than the previous close.
ADX is above the ADX Threshold.
Short Entry Conditions
Price is below the WMA trend line.
EMA difference is negative and lower than -EMA Difference Threshold.
Bearish momentum is increasing (current EMA diff < previous EMA diff).
RSI is within the defined range (RSI < 52 and RSI > RSI Short Floor).
Close is lower than the previous close.
ADX is above the ADX Threshold.
Strong Trend Logic (Dynamic TP Selection)
If price is far from the WMA (absolute distance > 20 points) AND EMA separation is strong (absolute EMA diff > 1.5 points), the strategy treats the environment as a strong trend.
In strong trend mode, the strategy uses “Strong Trend Take Profit %” instead of the default “Take Profit %”.
Exit Management (TP/SL + Trailing)
The strategy uses fixed percentage-based TP and SL levels.
Trailing logic is enabled via strategy.exit and activates only after price moves in profit by the defined Trailing Activation %.
Once activated, trailing follows price using the defined Trailing Distance % offset.
This is designed to secure partial gains during extended moves while still allowing room for continuation.
What You See on the Chart

Important Notes
The no-trade session depends on your chart/session settings. Ensure your symbol/session configuration matches your intended market hours.
Percent-based exits scale with price; results will vary across instruments and volatility regimes.
Always validate behavior using bar replay, forward testing, and realistic commission/slippage assumptions.
Crypto Professional Suite V2.0 [R2D2]Here is the complete professional documentation and strategy guide for your Crypto Pro Suite indicator. This guide is designed to help you install the tool correctly, understand its features, and utilize it to maximize your trading returns.
Crypto Pro Suite: The Professional Crypto Trader's All-In-One Toolkit
1. Introduction
The Crypto Pro Suite is a high-performance TradingView indicator designed to consolidate the five most critical technical analysis tools into a single, clean overlay.
Instead of cluttering your screen with multiple sub-charts (panes), this suite integrates Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci Levels directly onto the price action. It transforms "oscillator" data (RSI and MACD) into actionable Buy/Sell signals on your candles and a real-time Status Dashboard.
Key Features:
Zero Clutter: No bottom panes required; maximizes screen real estate for price analysis.
Real-Time Dashboard: Instant readout of Trend, RSI status, and MACD momentum.
Dynamic Overlay: Indicators move fluidly with your candles.
2. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps precisely to ensure the "Overlay" feature functions correctly.
Clean Slate: If you have any previous version of this script on your chart, remove it now (click the 'X' next to the indicator name).
Open Editor: Click the Pine Editor tab at the bottom of your TradingView screen.
Paste Code: Delete any existing text and paste the Final Polished Script provided in the previous response.
Save & Add: Click Save, then click Add to chart.
Note: By adding it fresh, TradingView forces the script to lock onto the price candles rather than a separate pane.
Verify: You should see colored lines (MAs, Bollinger Bands) directly on top of your candlesticks and a Dashboard in the top right.
3. Using the Script: Settings & Customization
Access the settings by clicking the Gear Icon next to the indicator name.
Dashboard: You can toggle the info panel On/Off or change its size (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
Toggle Control: Each of the 5 indicators has a "Show" checkbox. You can turn off noise (e.g., hide Bollinger Bands) when you only want to focus on Trend (MAs).
Inputs:
MAs: Defaults are 50/200 (Classic Golden Cross setup).
RSI: Default is 14 length, 70/30 limits.
Fibs: Default lookback is 200 bars. Increase this number to find Support/Resistance over a longer timeframe.
4. Maximizing Returns: Strategy & Examples
To maximize returns, professionals do not use indicators in isolation. They look for Confluence—where multiple indicators signal the same direction simultaneously.
A. Moving Averages (Trend Filter)
The Setup: The script plots a Fast MA (Yellow) and Slow MA (Blue).
Strategy:
Golden Cross (Buy): When the Yellow line crosses above the Blue line. This signals the start of a long-term bull trend.
Death Cross (Sell): When the Yellow line crosses below the Blue line.
Pro Tip: Never go long (Buy) if price is significantly below the Blue (Slow) MA.
B. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Setup: Instead of a line graph, you will see labels on the candles: "RSI Buy" (Green) or "RSI Sell" (Red).
Strategy:
Mean Reversion: If you see an "RSI Sell" label, the asset is Overbought. This is often a signal to take profit, not necessarily to short.
The Dip Buy: Look for an "RSI Buy" label occurring during a general uptrend (price above Slow MA). This indicates a healthy pullback that is ready to bounce.
C. MACD (Momentum)
The Setup: Green Triangles (Buy) and Red Triangles (Sell) appear above/below candles.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use MACD to confirm the Moving Average. If price crosses above the MA and you get a Green MACD Triangle, the breakout has high momentum and is likely to succeed.
Exit Signal: If you are in a Long trade and see a Red MACD Triangle, momentum is fading. Consider tightening your stop-loss.
D. Bollinger Bands (Volatility)
The Setup: A shaded teal channel surrounding the price.
Strategy:
The Squeeze: When the bands get very narrow, a massive move is coming. Wait for the breakout.
Walking the Bands: In a strong crypto bull run, price will hug the Upper Band. If price closes outside the band and then immediately closes inside it, it is a reversal signal (Sell).
E. Fibonacci Retracement (Support/Resistance)
The Setup: Dynamic horizontal lines (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 100%) based on recent highs/lows.
Strategy:
The Golden Pocket: The most powerful buy zone in crypto is between the 0.5 and 0.618 lines.
Execution: If price falls to the 0.618 line and you see an "RSI Buy" or MACD Green Triangle appear at that exact level, this is a high-probability entry.
5. The "Perfect Trade" Example
Putting it all together for maximum profit.
Context: The Dashboard says "MA Trend: Bullish."
Trigger: Price pulls back down and touches the 0.618 Fibonacci line.
Confirmation 1: Price is also touching the Lower Bollinger Band (acting as dynamic support).
Confirmation 2: An "RSI Buy" label appears on the candle.
Action: BUY.
Stop Loss: Place just below the 100% Fib line.
Take Profit: Sell half at the 0% Fib line (recent high) and let the rest ride.
Master Crypto Overlay [R2D2]The Gemini Master Crypto Overlay: User Guide
1. Introduction
The Gemini Master Crypto Overlay is a professional-grade TradingView script designed to consolidate six powerful institutional indicators into a single, clean "heads-up display" (HUD).
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple sub-windows (which shrinks your view of the price), this script uses smart overlays and a data dashboard to provide actionable data instantly. It is optimized for the Daily timeframe as requested, but functions on all timeframes.
Included Indicators:
Ichimoku Cloud: Identifies the primary trend and support/resistance zones.
MACD (Custom Crypto Settings): Optimized (3-10-16) for catching fast crypto moves.
WaveTrend Oscillator: Visual signals for Overbought/Oversold entries.
Supertrend: A trailing stop-loss line to keep you in profitable trades.
Ultimate RSI (MTF): Multi-timeframe analysis to ensure you are trading with the higher trend.
Volume Reference (VWAP): An on-chart proxy for Volume Profile to spot fair value.
2. Installation Instructions
Step 1: Open Pine Editor
Launch your chart on TradingView.
At the bottom of the screen, click the tab labeled Pine Editor.
Step 2: Paste the Code
Delete any text currently in the editor window.
Copy the code block at the bottom of this response.
Paste it into the editor.
Step 3: Save and Add
Click "Save" (top right of the editor) and name it "Master Crypto Overlay".
Click "Add to chart".
Note: You may hide the "Pine Editor" panel now by clicking the arrow at the bottom center of the screen.
3. How to Use the Interface
The script is designed to be intuitive. Here is what you are looking at:
A. The Dashboard (Bottom Right)
This is your "Confluence Checker." It summarizes the status of the major indicators in real-time.
GREEN: Bullish (Buy/Hold)
RED: Bearish (Sell/Short)
GRAY: Neutral/Choppy (Stay out)
Pro Tip: Do not enter a trade unless at least 3 out of 4 signals on the dashboard match your direction.
B. On-Chart Signals
Clouds (Red/Green): If the cloud is Green and rising, only look for Long trades. If Red, only look for Short trades.
Supertrend Line: This continuous line trails the price. If price is above it (Green line), you are safe. If price closes below it, the trend has reversed.
MACD Labels: Small "MACD" text appears when momentum flips.
WaveTrend Circles:
Blue Circle (Bottom): Price is "Oversold." Good time to buy if the trend is up.
Orange Circle (Top): Price is "Overbought." Good time to take profit.
4. Strategy: Maximizing Trading Returns
To make money with this script, you need a rule-based system. Do not just blindly click when you see a label. Use this "Trend & Trigger" strategy:
The "Golden Entry" (High Probability Long)
Trend Check: Ensure price is ABOVE the Ichimoku Cloud.
Dashboard Check: Verify the RSI Status says "BULL (>50)".
The Trigger: Wait for a pullback where price touches the Supertrend Line (Green) or the top of the Cloud.
The Entry: Enter the trade when a Blue WaveTrend Circle appears OR a MACD Buy Label prints.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss slightly below the Supertrend line.
The "Exit Strategy" (Protecting Profits)
Conservative: Sell half your position when an Orange WaveTrend Circle appears.
Trend Follower: Hold the rest of your position until the Supertrend Line turns RED.
Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy# Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy
## Overview
This strategy applies options market-making principles to spot/futures trading using the Black-Scholes pricing model. It simulates the behavior of a delta-hedged straddle position, generating buy and sell signals based on how a market maker would hedge their gamma exposure.
---
## The Concept: Gamma Scalping
Professional options traders who hold long straddles (long call + long put at the same strike) profit when the underlying moves significantly in either direction. Here's why:
- A straddle has **positive gamma**, meaning its delta increases as price rises and decreases as price falls
- To stay delta-neutral, traders must **buy after dips** and **sell after rallies**
- If **realized volatility > implied volatility**, the profits from these hedging trades exceed the daily theta (time decay) cost
This strategy captures that edge by:
1. Calculating theoretical Greeks using Black-Scholes
2. Monitoring when delta deviates from neutral
3. Trading to "hedge" back to neutral — buying weakness, selling strength
---
## Black-Scholes Greeks Calculated
| Greek | Symbol | What It Measures |
|-------|--------|------------------|
| Delta | Δ | Directional exposure |
| Gamma | Γ | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | ν | Sensitivity to volatility |
| Theta | Θ | Time decay per day |
All Greeks are calculated in real-time using the standard Black-Scholes formula with configurable inputs for strike, expiration, implied volatility, and risk-free rate.
---
## Entry Signals
**Long Entry** (buy the underlying):
- Price drops significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta falls below the lower hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime (HV > IV)
**Short Entry** (sell the underlying):
- Price rises significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta rises above the upper hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime
---
## Volatility Regime Filter
The strategy compares **Historical Volatility (HV)** to **Implied Volatility (IV)**:
- **HV/IV > 1.2** → Long volatility regime (gamma scalping profitable) → Trading enabled
- **HV/IV < 0.8** → Short volatility regime (theta wins) → Trading paused or reversed
- **Between** → Neutral, proceed with caution
This filter helps avoid trading when market conditions don't favor the strategy.
---
## Key Inputs
**Option Parameters:**
- Strike Offset % — Distance from ATM (0 = at-the-money)
- Days to Expiration — Synthetic option tenor (affects gamma magnitude)
- Implied Volatility — Your estimate of fair IV
- Risk-Free Rate — For BS calculation
**Trading Parameters:**
- Gamma Scalp Threshold — ATR multiple to trigger trades
- Delta Hedge Band % — How far delta must deviate to signal
- Volatility Regime Filter — Enable/disable HV/IV filter
**Risk Management:**
- Stop Loss / Take Profit (ATR multiples)
- Max Drawdown % — Pauses trading if exceeded
- Max Concurrent Positions
---
## How to Use
1. **Set Implied Volatility** to match current market IV (check options chain or VIX for reference)
2. **Adjust Days to Expiration** — Shorter = higher gamma, more signals; Longer = smoother
3. **Tune the Hedge Band** — Tighter bands = more trades; Wider = fewer, larger moves
4. **Enable Volatility Filter** for trend-following vol regimes, disable for pure mean-reversion
**Best suited for:**
- Range-bound or choppy markets
- High realized volatility environments
- Liquid instruments with tight spreads
**Avoid using when:**
- Strong directional trends (gamma scalping loses to delta)
- Volatility is collapsing
- Low liquidity / wide spreads
---
## Information Table
The on-chart table displays real-time:
- Current strike price
- Straddle Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta
- Historical vs Implied Volatility
- HV/IV Ratio
- Current volatility regime
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Long entry signals
- Short entry signals
- Max drawdown protection triggered
---
## Disclaimer
This strategy is provided for **educational purposes only**. It demonstrates how Black-Scholes option pricing theory can be applied to generate trading signals.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- Paper trade extensively before using real capital
**No financial advice is given or implied.**
---
## Credits
Based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (1973) and gamma scalping techniques used by professional options market makers.

DeeptestDeeptest: Quantitative Backtesting Library for Pine Script
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ OVERVIEW
Deeptest is a Pine Script library that provides quantitative analysis tools for strategy backtesting. It calculates over 100 statistical metrics including risk-adjusted return ratios (Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar), drawdown analysis, Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR, and performs Monte Carlo simulation and Walk-Forward Analysis.
█ WHY THIS LIBRARY MATTERS
Pine Script is a simple yet effective coding language for algorithmic and quantitative trading. Its accessibility enables traders to quickly prototype and test ideas directly within TradingView. However, the built-in strategy tester provides only basic metrics (net profit, win rate, drawdown), which is often insufficient for serious strategy evaluation.
Due to this limitation, many traders migrate to alternative backtesting platforms that offer comprehensive analytics. These platforms require other language programming knowledge, environment setup, and significant time investment—often just to test a simple trading idea.
Deeptest bridges this gap by bringing institutional-level quantitative analytics directly to Pine Script. Traders can now perform sophisticated analysis without leaving TradingView or learning complex external platforms. All calculations are derived from strategy.closedtrades.* , ensuring compatibility with any existing Pine Script strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY AND USEFULNESS
This library is original work that adds value to the TradingView community in the following ways:
1. Comprehensive Metric Suite: Implements 112+ statistical calculations in a single library, including advanced metrics not available in TradingView's built-in tester (p-value, Z-score, Skewness, Kurtosis, Risk of Ruin).
2. Monte Carlo Simulation: Implements trade-sequence randomization to stress-test strategy robustness by simulating 1000+ alternative equity curves.
3. Walk-Forward Analysis: Divides historical data into rolling in-sample and out-of-sample windows to detect overfitting by comparing training vs. testing performance.
4. Rolling Window Statistics: Calculates time-varying Sharpe, Sortino, and Expectancy to analyze metric consistency throughout the backtest period.
5. Interactive Table Display: Renders professional-grade tables with color-coded thresholds, tooltips explaining each metric, and period analysis cards for drawdowns/trades.
6. Benchmark Comparison: Automatically fetches S&P 500 data to calculate Alpha, Beta, and R-squared, enabling objective assessment of strategy skill vs. passive investing.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
Purpose
Monte Carlo simulation tests strategy robustness by randomizing the order of trades while keeping trade returns unchanged. This simulates alternative equity curves to assess outcome variability.
Method
Extract all historical trade returns
Randomly shuffle the sequence (1000+ iterations)
Calculate cumulative equity for each shuffle
Build distribution of final outcomes
Output
The stress test table shows:
Median Outcome: 50th percentile result
5th Percentile: Worst 5% of outcomes
95th Percentile: Best 95% of outcomes
Success Rate: Percentage of simulations that were profitable
Interpretation
If 95% of simulations are profitable: Strategy is robust
If median is far from actual result: High variance/unreliability
If 5th percentile shows large loss: High tail risk
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WALK-FORWARD ANALYSIS
Purpose
Walk-Forward Analysis (WFA) is the gold standard for detecting strategy overfitting. It simulates real-world trading by dividing historical data into rolling "training" (in-sample) and "validation" (out-of-sample) periods. A strategy that performs well on unseen data is more likely to succeed in live trading.
Method
The implementation uses a non-overlapping window approach following AmiBroker's gold standard methodology:
Segment Calculation: Total trades divided into N windows (default: 12), IS = ~75%, OOS = ~25%, Step = OOS length
Window Structure: Each window has IS (training) followed by OOS (validation). Each OOS becomes the next window's IS (rolling forward)
Metrics Calculated: CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, MaxDD, Win Rate, Expectancy, Profit Factor, Payoff
Aggregation: IS metrics averaged across all IS periods, OOS metrics averaged across all OOS periods
Output
IS CAGR: In-sample annualized return
OOS CAGR: Out-of-sample annualized return ( THE key metric )
IS/OOS Sharpe: In/out-of-sample risk-adjusted return
Success Rate: % of OOS windows that were profitable
Interpretation
Robust: IS/OOS CAGR gap <20%, OOS Success Rate >80%
Some Overfitting: CAGR gap 20-50%, Success Rate 50-80%
Severe Overfitting: CAGR gap >50%, Success Rate <50%
Key Principles:
OOS is what matters — Only OOS predicts live performance
Consistency > Magnitude — 10% IS / 9% OOS beats 30% IS / 5% OOS
Window count — More windows = more reliable validation
Non-overlapping OOS — Prevents data leakage
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ TABLE DISPLAY
Main Table — Organized into three sections:
Performance Metrics (Cols 0-6): Net Profit, Payoff, Sample Size, Profit Factor, CAGR, Expectancy, Monthly
Trade Statistics (Cols 7-14): Avg Duration, Max CW, Max CL, Win, BE, Loss, Frequency, Exposure
Risk Metrics (Cols 15-22): Sharpe, Sortino, Max DD, RoR, R², MAR, CVaR, p-value

█ QUICK NOTES
➙ This library has been developed and refined over two years of real-world strategy testing. Every calculation has been validated against industry-standard quantitative finance references.
➙ The entire codebase is thoroughly documented inline. If you are curious about how a metric is calculated or want to understand the implementation details, dive into the source code -- it is written to be read and learned from.
➙ This description focuses on usage and concepts rather than exhaustively listing every exported type and function. The library source code is thoroughly documented inline -- explore it to understand implementation details and internal logic.
➙ All calculations execute on barstate.islastconfirmedhistory to minimize runtime overhead. The library is designed for efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
➙ Beyond analysis, this library serves as a learning resource. Study the source code to understand quantitative finance concepts, Pine Script advanced techniques, and proper statistical methodology.
➙ Metrics are their own not binary good/bad indicators. A high Sharpe ratio with low sample size is misleading. A deep drawdown during a market crash may be acceptable. Study each function and metric individually -- evaluate your strategy contextually, not by threshold alone.
➙ All strategies face alpha decay over time. Instead of over-optimizing a single strategy on one timeframe and market, build a diversified portfolio across multiple markets and timeframes. Deeptest helps you validate each component so you can combine robust strategies into a trading portfolio.

[PickMyTrade] Trend strategy for LongThis strategy detects descending trend resistance using pivot-based trendlines and enters long positions when price confirms a breakout above a validated trendline. It is designed to capture bullish trend reversals with strict risk control and flexible exit management.
The system focuses on structural market behavior rather than indicators, making it suitable for traders who prefer price-action-based decision making.
USAGE
This strategy automatically builds trendlines from confirmed pivot highs. A trendline is considered valid only when price has interacted with it a user-defined number of times, ensuring that trades are taken only from well-formed market structures.
A trade is triggered when price closes above a validated descending trendline while optional session and position limits are respected.
All risk and position sizing are calculated automatically based on the selected risk amount and stop-loss distance.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy identifies swing highs using pivot logic and connects them into descending trendlines. Each trendline must meet a minimum number of touch confirmations before becoming eligible for trading.
When price closes above a valid trendline, the strategy calculates:
Stop-loss placement below the most recent pivot low
Position size based on fixed monetary risk
Profit targets based on the selected exit method
EXIT METHODS
Three exit models are supported:
Risk–Reward Ratio
Uses a fixed multiple of the defined risk distance to set the take-profit level.
Lookback Candle Exit
Exits trades when price shows structural reversal behavior based on recent candles.
Fibonacci Targets
Uses Fibonacci extensions derived from recent swing structure to trail profits dynamically.
An optional trailing stop can also be enabled to protect open profits.
FEATURES
Automatic pivot-based trendline detection
Multi-trendline or single-trendline operation
Dynamic position sizing based on monetary risk
Pivot-based stop-loss placement
Multiple exit methodologies
Optional trailing stop
Optional trading session filter
Fully visualized trendlines, stop levels, and profit targets

40 SMA Scaling StrategyThis trend-following strategy focuses on capturing momentum when price breaks above the 40-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) while utilizing a systematic scale-out (Take Profit) approach to lock in gains during extended runs.
Strategy Logic
Entry: Opens a Long position with 100% of current equity when the price closes above the 40 SMA. This ensures maximum capital efficiency at the start of a new perceived trend.
Scaling Take Profits: To reduce risk as the trade progresses, the strategy automatically closes 25% of the initial position for every 1% increase in price from the entry point.
Exit: The entire remaining position is closed immediately if the price closes below the 40 SMA, acting as a trailing stop that adapts to the moving average.
Key Features
Capital-Efficient: Starts with a full account allocation to maximize exposure to the initial breakout.
Systematic De-risking: By scaling out in 25% increments, the strategy banks profits early while leaving a portion of the trade active for potential "moon shots."
Trend-Following Exit: Uses a classic SMA filter to exit, aiming to stay in the trade as long as the medium-term trend remains bullish.
Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO)Golden Vector Trend Orchestrator (GVTO) is a composite trend-following strategy specifically engineered for XAUUSD (Gold) and volatile assets on H4 (4-Hour) and Daily timeframes.
This script aims to solve a common problem in trend trading: "Whipsaws in Sideways Markets." Instead of relying on a single indicator, GVTO employs a Multi-Factor Confluence System that filters out low-probability trades by requiring alignment across Trend Structure, Momentum, and Volatility.
🛠 Methodology & Logic
The strategy executes trades only when four distinct technical conditions overlap (Confluence). If any single condition is not met, the trade is filtered out to preserve capital.
1. Market Structure Filter (200 EMA)
Indicator: Exponential Moving Average (Length 200).
Logic: The 200 EMA acts as the baseline for the long-term trend regime.
Bullish Regime: Price must close above the 200 EMA.
Bearish Regime: Price must close below the 200 EMA.
Purpose: Prevents counter-trend trading against the macro direction.
2. Signal Trigger & Trailing Stop (Supertrend)
Indicator: Supertrend (ATR Length 14, Factor 3.5).
Logic: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to detect trend reversals while accounting for volatility.
Purpose: Provides the specific entry signal and acts as a dynamic trailing stop-loss to let profits run while cutting losses when the trend invalidates.
3. Volatility Gatekeeper (ADX Filter)
Indicator: Average Directional Index (Length 14).
Threshold: > 25.
Logic: A high ADX value indicates a strong trend presence, regardless of direction.
Purpose: This is the most critical filter. It prevents the strategy from entering trades during "choppy" or ranging markets (consolidation zones) where trend-following systems typically fail.
4. Momentum Confirmation (DMI)
Indicator: Directional Movement Index (DI+ and DI-).
Logic: Checks if the buying pressure (DI+) is physically stronger than selling pressure (DI-), or vice versa.
Purpose: Ensures that the price movement is backed by genuine momentum, not just a momentary price spike.
📋 How to Use This Strategy
🟢 LONG (BUY) Setup
A Buy signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes ABOVE the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to GREEN (Bullish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI+ (Plus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI- (Minus).
🔴 SHORT (SELL) Setup
A Sell signal is generated only when ALL of the following occur simultaneously:
Price Action: Price closes BELOW the 200 EMA (Orange Line).
Trigger: Supertrend flips to RED (Bearish).
Strength: ADX is greater than 25 (Strong Trend).
Momentum: DI- (Minus Directional Indicator) is greater than DI+ (Plus).
🛡 Exit Strategy
Stop Loss / Take Profit: The strategy utilizes the Supertrend Line as a dynamic Trailing Stop.
Exit Long: When Supertrend turns Red.
Exit Short: When Supertrend turns Green.
Note: Traders can also use the real-time P/L Dashboard included in the script to manually secure profits based on their personal Risk:Reward ratio.
📊 Included Features
Real-Time P/L Dashboard: A table in the top-right corner displays the current trend status, ADX strength, and the Unrealized Profit/Loss % of the current active position.
Smart Labeling: Buy/Sell labels are coded to appear only on the initial entry trigger. They do not repaint and do not spam the chart if the trend continues (no pyramiding visualization).
Visual Aids: Background color changes (Green/Red) to visually represent the active trend based on the Supertrend status.
⚠️ Risk Warning & Best Practices
Asset Class: Optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) due to its high volatility nature. It also works well on Crypto (BTC, ETH) and Major Forex Pairs.
Timeframe: Highly recommended for H4 (4 Hours) or D1 (Daily). Using this on lower timeframes (M5, M15) may result in false signals due to market noise.
News Events: Automated strategies cannot predict economic news (CPI, NFP). Exercise caution or pause trading during high-impact economic releases.
Multi-MA SuiteMulti-MA Suite - Customizable Moving Averages Indicator
Overview
Multi-MA Suite is a comprehensive moving average indicator that combines both Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in a single, highly customizable tool. Designed for traders who rely on multiple timeframe analysis, this indicator provides up to 9 moving averages (5 EMAs + 4 SMAs) with full control over visibility, color schemes, and parameters.
Key Features
✓ Dual MA Types:
5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - Responsive to recent price action, ideal for short to medium timeframes
4 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) - Slow and stable, specifically designed for long timeframe analysis
✓ Full Customization:
Individual toggle switches to show/hide each moving average
Custom color picker for each MA line
Adjustable length and source for all moving averages
Progressive line width (thicker lines for longer periods)
✓ Pre-configured Defaults:
EMA: 9, 21, 50, 100, 200 (common swing trading periods)
SMA: 50, 100, 200, 300 (institutional reference levels for long-term trends)
Color-coded scheme: Warm colors (yellow-orange) for EMAs, Cool colors (blue-purple) for SMAs
✓ Clean Interface:
Organized input groups for easy navigation
Clear labeling and logical parameter ordering
Minimal chart clutter with toggle controls
Key Difference - Speed & Timeframe:
EMAs: Fast and reactive → Best for short to medium timeframes (1-min to 4-hour charts)
SMAs: Slow and smooth → Best for long timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly charts)
Recommended Settings
Day Trading (Short Timeframes):
Focus on EMAs: 9, 21, 50
Use 1-minute to 15-minute charts
SMAs react too slowly for intraday timeframes
Swing Trading (Medium Timeframes):
Use all EMAs with SMA 50 and 200
1-hour to daily charts work best
Mix of EMAs for entries, SMAs for trend context
Position Trading (Long Timeframes):
Focus primarily on SMAs: 50, 100, 200, 300
Daily to weekly charts recommended
SMAs excel here due to their slow, stable nature
Can add EMA 200 for comparison
Investment Analysis (Very Long Timeframes):
SMAs only: 100, 200, 300
Weekly to monthly charts
SMA's slow calculation filters noise perfectly for long-term trends
EMA Timeframe-Specific Recommendations
📌 Important Notes on EMA Usage by Timeframe:
Small Timeframes (5-minute and 15-minute charts):
Use 9 EMA and 21 EMA
These fast EMAs respond quickly to price changes
Perfect for scalping and day trading
The 9/21 EMA crossover is a popular day trading strategy
Medium Timeframes (1-hour to 4-hour charts):
Use 21 EMA and 50 EMA
Balances responsiveness with trend reliability
Ideal for swing trading and intraday position holding
The 21/50 EMA combination filters out noise while staying responsive
Long Timeframes (Daily and Weekly charts):
Use 50 EMA and 200 EMA
The classic trend-following combination
50 EMA for medium-term trend, 200 EMA for major trend
The 50/200 EMA crossover is known as the "Golden Cross" (bullish) or "Death Cross" (bearish)
For very long-term analysis on these timeframes, consider using SMAs instead
Quick Reference Guide:
5m / 15m: EMA 9 & 21
1h / 4h: EMA 21 & 50
1D / 1W: EMA 50 & 200 (or switch to SMAs for even smoother signals)
Practical Trading Strategy with EMAs
📌 Why Use EMAs for Active Trading:
For active trading, use EMAs because they have faster movement compared to SMAs. This faster response to price changes allows you to catch trends earlier and exit trades before major reversals occur.
Three-EMA Trading System:
1. 9 EMA - Quick Trend Recognition:
Use the 9 EMA to understand the trend quickly
When price is above 9 EMA = Short-term uptrend
When price is below 9 EMA = Short-term downtrend
The 9 EMA reacts immediately to price momentum changes
Perfect for entry timing and quick trend identification
2. 21 EMA - Exit Signal and Trend Confirmation:
When the 21 EMA breaks (price crosses it), exit your trade
This is critical because when the 21 EMA breaks, the trend will likely reverse
The 21 EMA acts as your "stop-loss line"
Breaking the 21 EMA signals that the short-term momentum has shifted
Example: In an uptrend, when price crosses below 21 EMA, exit longs immediately
Example: In a downtrend, when price crosses above 21 EMA, exit shorts immediately
3. 50 EMA - Full Correction Understanding:
Use the 50 EMA to understand the complete correction
The 50 EMA shows where the full pullback or correction might end
When price reaches the 50 EMA, it often bounces (in a strong trend)
Breaking the 50 EMA indicates a deeper correction or potential trend reversal
Use it to gauge the strength of the overall trend
Customization Tips
Toggle unnecessary MAs off to reduce chart clutter based on your trading style and timeframe
For the 3-EMA trading strategy, enable only 9, 21, and 50 EMAs
For long timeframes (daily+), disable EMAs and use only SMAs to avoid over-reactive signals
Match your EMA selection to your timeframe using the guide above
Adjust colors to match your chart theme or to highlight specific MAs
Modify lengths to fit specific market conditions or asset volatility
Change source from close to high/low/HL2 for alternative perspectives
Use thicker lines for key decision MAs (edit linewidth in settings)
Color Scheme Rationale
EMAs (Warm Colors):
Yellow → Orange progression represents increasing timeframes while maintaining visual cohesion. The warm palette signals "active" or "fast-reacting" nature of EMAs, perfect for shorter timeframes and active trading.
SMAs (Cool Colors):
Blue → Purple progression provides clear visual distinction from EMAs. The cool palette suggests "stable," "slow," and "smooth" characteristics of SMAs, ideal for long timeframe analysis.
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic MA indicators, Multi-MA Suite provides:
Both EMA and SMA in one indicator (saves indicator slots)
Optimized MA selection based on speed characteristics - fast EMAs for short timeframes, slow SMAs for long timeframes
Clear timeframe-specific EMA recommendations for immediate use
Practical trading strategy included - 9 EMA for trend, 21 EMA for exit, 50 EMA for corrections
Individual control over each MA (toggle, color, parameters)
Thoughtful default settings based on widely-used trading periods
Color-coded system for instant visual differentiation
Clean, organized interface for efficient workflow
Installation & Usage

Gyspy Bot Trade Engine - V1.2B - Alerts - 12-7-25 - SignalLynxGypsy Bot Trade Engine (MK6 V1.2B) - Alerts & Visualization
Brought to you by Signal Lynx | Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Executive Summary & Architecture
Gypsy Bot (MK6 V1.2B) is not merely a strategy; it is a massive, modular Trade Engine built specifically for the TradingView Pine Script V6 environment. While most tools rely on a single dominant indicator to generate signals, Gypsy Bot functions as a sophisticated Consensus Algorithm.
Note: This is the Indicator / Alerts version of the engine. It is designed for visual analysis and generating live alert signals for automation. If you wish to see Backtest data (Equity Curves, Drawdown, Profit Factors), please use the Strategy version of this script.
The engine calculates data from up to 12 distinct Technical Analysis Modules simultaneously on every bar closing. It aggregates these signals into a "Vote Count" and only fires a signal plot when a user-defined threshold of concurring signals is met. This "Voting System" acts as a noise filter, requiring multiple independent mathematical models—ranging from volume flow and momentum to cyclical harmonics and trend strength—to agree on market direction.
Beyond entries, Gypsy Bot features a proprietary Risk Management suite called the Dump Protection Team (DPT). This logic layer operates independently of the entry modules, specifically scanning for "Moon" (Parabolic) or "Nuke" (Crash) volatility events to signal forced exits, preserving capital during Black Swan events.
2. ⚠️ The Philosophy of "Curve Fitting" (Must Read)
One must be careful when applying Gypsy Bot to new pairs or charts.
To be fully transparent: Gypsy Bot is, by definition, a very advanced curve-fitting engine. Because it grants the user granular control over 12 modules, dozens of thresholds, and specific voting requirements, it is extremely easy to "over-fit" the data. You can easily toggle switches until the charts look perfect in hindsight, only to have the signals fail in live markets because they were tuned to historical noise rather than market structure.
To use this engine successfully:
Visual Verification: Do not just look for "green arrows." Look for signals that occur at logical market structure points.
Stability: Ensure signals are not flickering. This script uses closed-candle logic for key decisions to ensure that once a signal plots, it remains painted.
Regular Maintenance is Mandatory: Markets shift regimes (e.g., from Bull Trend to Crab Range). Gypsy Bot settings should be reviewed and adjusted at regular intervals to ensure the voting logic remains aligned with current market volatility.
Timeframe Recommendations:
Gypsy Bot is optimized for High Time Frame (HTF) trend following. It generally produces the most reliable results on charts ranging from 1-Hour to 12-Hours, with the 4-Hour timeframe historically serving as the "sweet spot" for most major cryptocurrency assets.
3. The Voting Mechanism: How Entries Are Generated
The heart of the Gypsy Bot engine is the ActivateOrders input (found in the "Order Signal Modifier" settings).
The engine constantly monitors the output of all enabled Modules.
Long Votes: GoLongCount
Short Votes: GoShortCount
If you have 10 Modules enabled, and you set ActivateOrders to 7:
The engine will ONLY plot a Buy Signal if 7 or more modules return a valid "Buy" signal on the same closed candle.
If only 6 modules agree, the signal is rejected.
4. Technical Deep Dive: The 12 Modules
Gypsy Bot allows you to toggle the following modules On/Off individually to suit the asset you are trading.
Module 1: Modified Slope Angle (MSA)
Logic: Calculates the geometric angle of a moving average relative to the timeline.
Function: Filters out "lazy" trends. A trend is only considered valid if the slope exceeds a specific steepness threshold.
Module 2: Correlation Trend Indicator (CTI)
Logic: Measures how closely the current price action correlates to a straight line (a perfect trend).
Function: Ensures that we are moving up with high statistical correlation, reducing fake-outs.
Module 3: Ehlers Roofing Filter
Logic: A spectral filter combining High-Pass (trend removal) and Super Smoother (noise removal).
Function: Isolates the "Roof" of price action to catch cyclical turning points before standard moving averages.
Module 4: Forecast Oscillator
Logic: Uses Linear Regression forecasting to predict where price "should" be relative to where it is.
Function: Signals when the regression trend flips. Offers "Aggressive" and "Conservative" calculation modes.
Module 5: Chandelier ATR Stop
Logic: A volatility-based trend follower that hangs a "leash" (ATR multiple) from extremes.
Function: Used as an entry filter. If price is above the Chandelier line, the trend is Bullish.
Module 6: Crypto Market Breadth (CMB)
Logic: Pulls data from multiple major tickers (BTC, ETH, and Perpetual Contracts).
Function: Calculates "Market Health." If Bitcoin is rising but the rest of the market is dumping, this module can veto a trade.
Module 7: Directional Index Convergence (DIC)
Logic: Analyzes the convergence/divergence between Fast and Slow Directional Movement indices.
Function: Identifies when trend strength is expanding.
Module 8: Market Thrust Indicator (MTI)
Logic: A volume-weighted breadth indicator using Advance/Decline and Volume data.
Function: One of the most powerful modules. Confirms that price movement is supported by actual volume flow. Recommended setting: "SSMA" (Super Smoother).
Module 9: Simple Ichimoku Cloud
Logic: Traditional Japanese trend analysis.
Function: Checks for a "Kumo Breakout." Price must be fully above/below the Cloud to confirm entry.
Module 10: Simple Harmonic Oscillator
Logic: Analyzes harmonic wave properties to detect cyclical tops and bottoms.
Function: Serves as a counter-trend or early-reversal detector.
Module 11: HSRS Compression / Super AO
Logic: Detects volatility compression (HSRS) or Momentum/Trend confluence (Super AO).
Function: Great for catching explosive moves resulting from consolidation.
Module 12: Fisher Transform (MTF)
Logic: Converts price data into a Gaussian normal distribution.
Function: Identifies extreme price deviations. Uses Multi-Timeframe (MTF) logic to ensure you aren't trading against the major trend.
5. Global Inhibitors (The Veto Power)
Even if 12 out of 12 modules vote "Buy," Gypsy Bot performs a final safety check using Global Inhibitors.
Bitcoin Halving Logic: Prevents trading during chaotic weeks surrounding Halving events (dates projected through 2040).
Miner Capitulation: Uses Hash Rate Ribbons to identify bearish regimes when miners are shutting down.
ADX Filter: Prevents trading in "Flat/Choppy" markets (Low ADX).
CryptoCap Trend: Checks the total Crypto Market Cap chart for broad market alignment.
6. Risk Management & The Dump Protection Team (DPT)
Even in this Indicator version, the RM logic runs to generate Exit Signals.
Dump Protection Team (DPT): Detects "Nuke" (Crash) or "Moon" (Pump) volatility signatures. If triggered, it plots an immediate Exit Signal (Yellow Plot).
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Dynamically tightens stops in low volatility ("Dungeon") and loosens them in high volatility ("Penthouse").
Staged Take Profits: Plots TP1, TP2, and TP3 events on the chart for visual confirmation or partial exit alerts.
7. Recommended Setup Guide
When applying Gypsy Bot to a new chart, follow this sequence:
Set Timeframe: 4 Hours (4H).
Tune DPT: Adjust "Dump/Moon Protection" inputs first. These filter out bad signals during high volatility.
Tune Module 8 (MTI): Experiment with the MA Type (SSMA is recommended).
Select Modules: Enable/Disable modules based on the asset's personality (Trending vs. Ranging).
Voting Threshold: Adjust ActivateOrders to filter out noise.
Alert Setup: Once visually satisfied, use the "Any Alert Function Call" option when creating an alert in TradingView to capture all Buy/Sell/Close events generated by the engine.
8. Technical Specs
Engine Version: Pine Script V6
Repainting: This indicator uses Closed Candle data for all Risk Management and Entry decisions. This ensures that signals do not vanish after the candle closes.
Visuals:
Blue Plot: Buy/Sell Signal.
Yellow Plot: Risk Management (RM) / DPT Close Signal.
Green/Lime/Olive Plots: Take Profit hits.

Apex Trend & Liquidity Master with TP/SLThe Apex Trend & Liquidity Master is a systematic trading framework that identifies trend direction and key structural price levels for entry and exit decisions. The system uses a volatility-adaptive trend detection mechanism built on Hull Moving Averages with ATR-based bands to filter consolidation periods and isolate directional moves.
The liquidity detection engine identifies potential reversal zones by marking swing highs and lows that meet statistical significance thresholds. These zones represent areas where institutional order flow previously caused price rejection. Zones remain active until price closes through them, indicating mitigation of the level.
This implementation is an enhanced derivative of the original system with fully automated risk management. Stop losses are calculated using ATR multiples with entry candle wick protection as a minimum threshold, while take profits maintain a fixed 3:1 risk-reward ratio. An additional exit mechanism closes profitable positions when price reaches opposing supply or demand zones, providing early profit-taking at probable reversal points before full target completion.
Entry signals generate only on trend changes when volume exceeds average levels, reducing false breakouts in ranging conditions. The system includes complete position tracking with three distinct exit types: take profit hits, stop loss hits, and profitable zone contact exits. All calculations use confirmed historical data with no forward-looking bias, though supply/demand zone identification operates with a confirmation lag inherent to pivot point detection.
VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
