SuperTrade ST1 StrategyOverview
The SuperTrade ST1 Strategy is a long-only trend-following strategy that combines a Supertrend indicator with a 200-period EMA filter to isolate high-probability bullish trade setups. It is designed to operate in trending markets, using volatility-based exits with a strict 1:4 Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio, meaning that each trade targets a profit 4× the size of its predefined risk.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to align with medium- to long-term trends, while maintaining disciplined risk control and minimal trade frequency.
How It Works
This strategy leverages three key components:
Supertrend Indicator
A trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR).
Identifies bullish/bearish trend direction by plotting a trailing stop line that moves with price volatility.
200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Filter
Trades are only taken when the price is above the EMA, ensuring participation only during confirmed uptrends.
Helps filter out counter-trend entries during market pullbacks or ranges.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit
Each trade uses the ATR to calculate volatility-adjusted exit levels.
Stop Loss: 1× ATR below entry.
Take Profit: 4× ATR above entry (1:4 R:R).
This asymmetry ensures that even with a lower win rate, the strategy can remain profitable.
Entry Conditions
A long trade is triggered when:
Supertrend flips from bearish to bullish (trend reversal).
Price closes above the Supertrend line.
Price is above the 200 EMA (bullish market bias).
Exit Logic
Once a long position is entered:
Stop loss is set 1 ATR below entry.
Take profit is set 4 ATR above entry.
The strategy automatically exits the position on either target.
Backtest Settings
This strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, including:
$10,000 account size
2% equity risk per trade
0.1% commission
1 tick slippage
These settings aim to simulate real-world conditions and avoid overly optimistic results.
How to Use
Apply the script to any timeframe, though higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) often yield more reliable signals.
Works best in clearly trending markets (especially in crypto, stocks, indices).
Can be paired with alerts for live trading or analysis.
Important Notes
This version is long-only by design. No short positions are executed.
Ideal for swing traders or position traders seeking asymmetric returns.
Users can modify the ATR period, Supertrend factor, or EMA filter length based on asset behavior.

External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.

Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB### Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB
This strategy combines three distinct trading approaches—reversals, trend breakouts, and opening range breakouts (ORB)—into a single, cohesive system. The goal is to capture high-probability setups across different market conditions, leveraging a mashup of technical indicators for confirmation and risk management. Below, I’ll explain why this combination works, how the components interact, and how to use it effectively.
#### Why the Mashup?
- **Reversals**: Identifies overextended moves using RSI (overbought/oversold) and SMA50 crosses, filtered by VWAP and SMA200 trend direction. This targets mean-reversion opportunities in trending markets.
- **Breakouts**: Uses EMA9/EMA20 crossovers with VWAP and SMA200 confirmation to catch momentum-driven trend continuations.
- **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**: Detects early momentum by breaking the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 15 bars) with volume confirmation. This adds a time-based edge, ideal for intraday trading.
The synergy comes from blending these methods: reversals catch pullbacks, breakouts ride trends, and ORB exploits early volatility—all filtered by trend (SMA200) and anchored by VWAP for context.
#### How It Works
1. **Indicators**:
- **EMA9/EMA20**: Fast-moving averages for breakout signals.
- **SMA50**: Medium-term trend filter for reversals.
- **SMA200**: Long-term trend direction to align trades.
- **RSI (14)**: Measures overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions.
- **VWAP**: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **ATR (14)**: Sets stop-loss distance (default: 1.5x ATR).
- **Volume**: Confirms ORB breakouts (1.5x average volume of opening range).
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI < 30 + below VWAP + uptrend), breakout (EMA9 > EMA20 + above VWAP + uptrend), or ORB (break above opening range high + volume).
- **Short**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI > 70 + above VWAP + downtrend), breakout (EMA9 < EMA20 + below VWAP + downtrend), or ORB (break below opening range low + volume).
3. **Risk Management**:
- Risks 5% of equity per trade (based on the initial capital set in the strategy tester).
- Stop-loss: Based on lowest low/highest high over 7 bars ± 1.5x ATR.
- Targets: Two exits at 1:1 and 1:2 risk:reward (50% of position at each).
- Break-even: Stop moves to entry price after the first target is hit.
4. **Backtesting Settings**:
- Commission: Hardcoded at 0.1% per trade (realistic for most brokers).
- Slippage: Hardcoded at 2 ticks (realistic for most markets).
- Tested on datasets yielding 100+ trades (e.g., 2-min or 5-min charts over months).
#### How to Use It
- **Timeframe**: Works best on intraday (2-min, 5-min) or daily charts. Adjust `Opening Range Bars` (e.g., 15 bars = 30 min on 2-min chart) for your timeframe.
- **Settings**:
- Set your initial equity in the TradingView strategy tester’s "Properties" tab under "Initial Capital" (e.g., $10,000). The script automatically risks 5% of this equity per trade.
- Adjust `Stop Loss ATR Multiplier` or `Risk:Reward Targets` based on your risk tolerance.
- Note that commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) are fixed in the script for backtesting consistency.
- **Execution**: Enter on signal, monitor plotted stop (red) and targets (green/blue). The strategy supports pyramiding (up to 2 positions) for scaling into trends.
#### Backtesting Notes
Results are realistic with commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) included. For a sufficient sample, test on volatile instruments (e.g., stocks, forex) over 3-6 months on lower timeframes. The default 1.5x ATR stop may seem wide, but it’s justified to avoid premature exits in volatile markets—feel free to tweak it with justification. The script assumes an initial capital of $10,000 in the strategy tester for the 5% risk calculation (e.g., $500 risk per trade); adjust this in the "Properties" tab as needed.
This mashup isn’t just a random mix; it’s a deliberate fusion of complementary strategies, offering traders flexibility across market phases. Questions? Let me know!
StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer - indicator [PresentTrading]Hello everyone! In the following few open scripts, I would like to share various statistical tools that benefit trading. For this time, it is a powerful indicator called StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer that brings a whole new dimension to your technical analysis toolkit.
This tool goes beyond traditional pivot point analysis by providing comprehensive statistical insights about price movements, helping you identify high-probability trading opportunities based on historical data patterns rather than subjective interpretations. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, StatPivot's real-time percentile rankings give you a statistical edge in understanding exactly where current price action stands within historical contexts.
Welcome to share your opinions! Looking forward to sharing the next tool soon!
█ Introduction and How it is Different
StatPivot is an advanced technical analysis tool that revolutionizes retracement analysis. Unlike traditional pivot indicators that only show static support/resistance levels, StatPivot delivers dynamic statistical insights based on historical pivot patterns.
Its key innovation is real-time percentile calculation - while conventional tools require new pivot formations before updating (often too late for trading decisions), StatPivot continuously analyzes where current price stands within historical retracement distributions.
Furthermore, StatPivot provides comprehensive statistical metrics including mean, median, standard deviation, and percentile distributions of price movements, giving traders a probabilistic edge by revealing which price levels represent statistically significant zones for potential reversals or continuations. By transforming raw price data into statistical insights, StatPivot helps traders move beyond subjective price analysis to evidence-based decision making.
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Pivot Point Detection and Analysis
The core of StatPivot's functionality begins with identifying significant pivot points in the price structure. Using the parameters left and right, the indicator locates pivot highs and lows by examining a specified number of bars to the left and right of each potential pivot point:
Copyp_low = ta.pivotlow(low, left, right)
p_high = ta.pivothigh(high, left, right)
For a point to qualify as a pivot low, it must have left higher lows to its left and right higher lows to its right. Similarly, a pivot high must have left lower highs to its left and right lower highs to its right. This approach ensures that only significant turning points are recognized.
🔶 Percentage Change Calculation
Once pivot points are identified, StatPivot calculates the percentage changes between consecutive pivot points:
For drops (when a pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low):
CopydropPercent = (previous_pivot_low - current_pivot_low) / previous_pivot_low * 100
For rises (when a pivot high is higher than the previous pivot high):
CopyrisePercent = (current_pivot_high - previous_pivot_high) / previous_pivot_high * 100
These calculations quantify the magnitude of each market swing, allowing for statistical analysis of historical price movements.
🔶 Statistical Distribution Analysis
StatPivot computes comprehensive statistics on the historical distribution of drops and rises:
Average (Mean): The arithmetic mean of all recorded percentage changes
CopyavgDrop = array.avg(dropValues)
Median: The middle value when all percentage changes are arranged in order
CopymedianDrop = array.median(dropValues)
Standard Deviation: Measures the dispersion of percentage changes from the average
CopystdDevDrop = array.stdev(dropValues)
Percentiles (25th, 75th): Values below which 25% and 75% of observations fall
Copyq1 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.25))
q3 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.75))
VaR95: The maximum expected percentage drop with 95% confidence
Copyvar95D = array.get(sortedD, math.floor(nD * 0.95))
Coefficient of Variation (CV): Measures relative variability
CopycvD = stdDevDrop / avgDrop
These statistics provide a comprehensive view of market behavior, enabling traders to understand the typical ranges and extreme moves.
🔶 Real-time Percentile Ranking
StatPivot's most innovative feature is its real-time percentile calculation. For each current price, it calculates:
The percentage drop from the latest pivot high:
CopycurrentDropPct = (latestPivotHigh - close) / latestPivotHigh * 100
The percentage rise from the latest pivot low:
CopycurrentRisePct = (close - latestPivotLow) / latestPivotLow * 100
The percentile ranks of these values within the historical distribution:
CopyrealtimeDropRank = (count of historical drops <= currentDropPct) / total drops * 100
This calculation reveals exactly where the current price movement stands in relation to all historical movements, providing crucial context for decision-making.
🔶 Cluster Analysis
To identify the most common retracement zones, StatPivot performs a cluster analysis by dividing the range of historical drops into five equal intervals:
CopyrangeSize = maxVal - minVal
For each interval boundary:
Copyboundaries = minVal + rangeSize * i / 5
By counting the number of observations in each interval, the indicator identifies the most frequently occurring retracement zones, which often serve as significant support or resistance areas.
🔶 Expected Price Targets
Using the statistical data, StatPivot calculates expected price targets:
CopytargetBuyPrice = close * (1 - avgDrop / 100)
targetSellPrice = close * (1 + avgRise / 100)
These targets represent statistically probable price levels for potential entries and exits based on the average historical behavior of the market.
█ Trade Direction
StatPivot functions as an analytical tool rather than a direct trading signal generator, providing statistical insights that can be applied to various trading strategies. However, the data it generates can be interpreted for different trade directions:
For Long Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price drops that reach the 70-80th percentile range in the historical distribution, suggesting a statistically significant retracement
Target setting: Use the Expected Sell price or consider the average rise percentage as a reasonable target
Risk management: Set stop losses below recent pivot lows or at a distance related to the statistical volatility (standard deviation)
For Short Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price rises that reach the 70-80th percentile range, indicating an unusual extension
Target setting: Use the Expected Buy price or average drop percentage as a target
Risk management: Set stop losses above recent pivot highs or based on statistical measures of volatility
For Range Trading:
Use the most common drop and rise clusters to identify probable reversal zones
Trade bounces between these statistically significant levels
For Trend Following:
Confirm trend strength by analyzing consecutive higher pivot lows (uptrend) or lower pivot highs (downtrend)
Use lower percentile retracements (20-30th percentile) as entry opportunities in established trends
█ Usage
StatPivot offers multiple ways to integrate its statistical insights into your trading workflow:
Statistical Table Analysis: Review the comprehensive statistics displayed in the data table to understand the market's behavior. Pay particular attention to:
Average drop and rise percentages to set reasonable expectations
Standard deviation to gauge volatility
VaR95 for risk assessment
Real-time Percentile Monitoring: Watch the real-time percentile display to see where the current price movement stands within the historical distribution. This can help identify:
Extreme movements (90th+ percentile) that might indicate reversal opportunities
Typical retracements (40-60th percentile) that might continue further
Shallow pullbacks (10-30th percentile) that might represent continuation opportunities in trends
Support and Resistance Identification: Utilize the plotted pivot points as key support and resistance levels, especially when they align with statistically significant percentile ranges.
Target Price Setting: Use the expected buy and sell prices calculated from historical averages as initial targets for your trades.
Risk Management: Apply the statistical measurements like standard deviation and VaR95 to set appropriate stop loss levels that account for the market's historical volatility.
Pattern Recognition: Over time, learn to recognize when certain percentile levels consistently lead to reversals or continuations in your specific market, and develop personalized strategies based on these observations.
█ Default Settings
The default settings of StatPivot have been carefully calibrated to provide reliable statistical analysis across a variety of markets and timeframes, but understanding their effects allows for optimal customization:
Left Bars (30) and Right Bars (30): These parameters determine how pivot points are identified. With both set to 30 by default:
A pivot low must be the lowest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
A pivot high must be the highest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
Effect on performance: Larger values create fewer but more significant pivot points, reducing noise but potentially missing important market structures. Smaller values generate more pivot points, capturing more nuanced movements but potentially including noise.
Table Position (Top Right): Determines where the statistical data table appears on the chart.
Effect on performance: No impact on analytical performance, purely a visual preference.
Show Distribution Histogram (False): Controls whether the distribution histogram of drop percentages is displayed.
Effect on performance: Enabling this provides visual insight into the distribution of retracements but can clutter the chart.
Show Real-time Percentile (True): Toggles the display of real-time percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: A critical setting that enables the dynamic analysis of current price movements. Disabling this removes one of the key advantages of the indicator.
Real-time Percentile Display Mode (Label): Chooses between label display or indicator line for percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: Labels provide precise information at the current price point, while indicator lines show the evolution of percentile rankings over time.
Advanced Considerations for Settings Optimization:
Timeframe Adjustment: Higher timeframes generally benefit from larger Left/Right values to identify truly significant pivots, while lower timeframes may require smaller values to capture shorter-term swings.
Volatility-Based Tuning: In highly volatile markets, consider increasing the Left/Right values to filter out noise. In less volatile conditions, lower values can help identify more potential entry and exit points.
Market-Specific Optimization: Different markets (forex, stocks, commodities) display different retracement patterns. Monitor the statistics table to see if your market typically shows larger or smaller retracements than the current settings are optimized for.
Trading Style Alignment: Adjust the settings to match your trading timeframe. Day traders might prefer settings that identify shorter-term pivots (smaller Left/Right values), while swing traders benefit from more significant pivots (larger Left/Right values).
By understanding how these settings affect the analysis and customizing them to your specific market and trading style, you can maximize the effectiveness of StatPivot as a powerful statistical tool for identifying high-probability trading opportunities.
Penny King**Penny King Trend Indicator**
The **Penny King** is a powerful and versatile trend-following indicator designed to assist traders in identifying market trends and dynamic support/resistance levels. This tool effectively leverages Adaptive True Range (ATR) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or a Delta Price method to establish a trailing stop level, ensuring traders can capture strong trends while minimizing risk.
### **Key Features:**
1. **Dual Calculation Modes:**
- **ATR & EMA-Based Mode (Mode 0)**: Uses ATR (Average True Range) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to determine the trailing stop level dynamically.
- **Delta Price Mode (Mode 1)**: Utilizes a fixed price change threshold (Delta Price) to define stop levels based on market volatility.
2. **Adjustable Parameters for Customization:**
- **Range (akk_range)**: Defines the lookback period for the ATR calculation.
- **IMA Range (ima_range)**: Specifies the EMA smoothing factor applied to the ATR.
- **Factor (akk_factor)**: Multiplier applied to the ATR-based calculation to refine trailing stop sensitivity.
- **Delta Price (DeltaPrice)**: Fixed price-based stop level for an alternative trend calculation.
3. **Intelligent Trailing Stop Mechanism:**
- The trailing stop level dynamically adjusts based on price movement, following the trend while preventing premature exits.
- If the price moves in favor of the trend, the stop level is adjusted accordingly to lock in profits.
- If the price reverses against the trend, the stop level remains intact until a new trend direction is established.
4. **Efficient Market Adaptability:**
- The ATR-based method ensures adaptability to changing market conditions, expanding stop levels in high volatility and tightening them in low volatility periods.
- The Delta Price method offers a fixed approach, ideal for traders who prefer a non-ATR-based system for managing stop levels.
5. **Clean Visual Representation:**
- The indicator plots a clear, orange-colored trend stop line that dynamically follows the market movement.
- Provides a visual cue to determine potential entry and exit points efficiently.
### **How to Use:**
- **Trend Confirmation:**
- If the price remains above the trend stop line, it signals a bullish trend.
- If the price falls below the trend stop line, it indicates a bearish trend.
- **Trade Entries & Exits:**
- Consider long positions when the price remains above the trend stop.
- Consider short positions when the price stays below the trend stop.
- Utilize the trend stop line as a dynamic trailing stop-loss mechanism to protect gains and minimize losses.
- **Parameter Optimization:**
- Adjust the **Range**, **IMA Range**, and **Factor** to optimize settings based on the trading asset and time frame.
- Experiment with **Delta Price Mode** for assets where fixed price-based trailing stops are more effective.
### **Conclusion:**

Whether you prefer ATR-based adaptability or a fixed price stop approach, this indicator provides the flexibility needed to navigate different market conditions successfully. By integrating the **Penny King**, traders can enhance their trading strategy with a reliable and efficient trend-following system.
Supertrend and Fast and Slow EMA StrategyThis strategy combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Average True Range (ATR) to create a simple, yet effective, trend-following approach. The strategy filters out fake or sideways signals by incorporating the ATR as a volatility filter, ensuring that trades are only taken during trending conditions. The key idea is to buy when the short-term trend (Fast EMA) aligns with the long-term trend (Slow EMA), and to avoid trades during low volatility periods.
How It Works:
EMA Crossover:
1). Buy Signal: When the Fast EMA (shorter-term, e.g., 20-period) crosses above the Slow EMA (longer-term, e.g., 50-period), this indicates a potential uptrend.
2). Sell Signal: When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA, this indicates a potential downtrend.
ATR Filter:
1). The ATR (Average True Range) is used to measure market volatility.
2). Trending Market: If the ATR is above a certain threshold, it indicates high volatility and a trending market. Only when ATR is above the threshold will the strategy generate buy/sell signals.
3). Sideways Market: If ATR is low (sideways or choppy market), the strategy will suppress signals to avoid entering during non-trending conditions.
When to Buy:
1). Condition 1: The Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA.
2). Condition 2: The ATR is above the defined threshold, indicating that the market is trending (not sideways or choppy).
When to Sell:
1). Condition 1: The Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA.
2). Condition 2: The ATR is above the defined threshold, confirming that the market is in a downtrend.
When Not to Enter the Trade:
1). Sideways Market: If the ATR is below the threshold, signaling low volatility and sideways or choppy market conditions, the strategy will not trigger any buy or sell signals.
2). False Crossovers: In low volatility conditions, price action tends to be noisy, which could lead to false signals. Therefore, avoiding trades during these periods reduces the risk of false breakouts.
Additional Factors to Consider Adding:
=> RSI (Relative Strength Index): Adding an RSI filter can help confirm overbought or oversold conditions to avoid buying into overextended moves or selling too low.
1). RSI Buy Filter: Only take buy signals when RSI is below 70 (avoiding overbought conditions).
2). RSI Sell Filter: Only take sell signals when RSI is above 30 (avoiding oversold conditions).
=> MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Using MACD can help validate the strength of the trend.
1). Buy when the MACD histogram is above the zero line and the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA.
2). Sell when the MACD histogram is below the zero line and the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA.
=> Support/Resistance Levels: Adding support and resistance levels can help you understand market structure and decide whether to enter or exit a trade.
1). Buy when price breaks above a significant resistance level (after a valid buy signal).
2). Sell when price breaks below a major support level (after a valid sell signal).
=> Volume: Consider adding a volume filter to ensure that buy/sell signals are supported by strong market participation. You could only take signals if the volume is above the moving average of volume over a certain period.
=> Trailing Stop Loss: Instead of a fixed stop loss, use a trailing stop based on a percentage or ATR to lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
=> Exit Signals: Besides the EMA crossover, consider adding Take Profit or Stop Loss levels, or even using a secondary indicator like RSI to signal an overbought/oversold condition and exit the trade.
Example Usage:
=> Buy Example:
1). Fast EMA (20-period) crosses above the Slow EMA (50-period).
2). The ATR is above the threshold, confirming that the market is trending.
3). Optionally, if RSI is below 70, the buy signal is further confirmed as not being overbought.
=> Sell Example:
1). Fast EMA (20-period) crosses below the Slow EMA (50-period).
2). The ATR is above the threshold, confirming that the market is trending.
3). Optionally, if RSI is above 30, the sell signal is further confirmed as not being oversold.
Conclusion:
This strategy helps to identify trending markets and filters out sideways or choppy market conditions. By using Fast and Slow EMAs combined with the ATR volatility filter, it provides a reliable approach to catching trending moves while avoiding false signals during low-volatility, sideways markets.

ATR Levels and Zones with Signals📌 ATR Levels and Zones with Signals – User Guide Description
🔹 Overview
The ATR Levels and Zones with Signals indicator is a volatility-based trading tool that helps traders identify:
✔ Key support & resistance levels based on ATR (Average True Range)
✔ Buy & Sell signals triggered when price enters key ATR zones
✔ Breakout confirmations to detect high-momentum moves
✔ Dynamic Stop-Loss & Take-Profit suggestions
Unlike traditional ATR bands, this indicator creates layered ATR zones based on multiple ATR multipliers, allowing traders to gauge volatility and risk-adjust their trading strategies.
🔹 How It Works
🔸 The script calculates a baseline SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the price.
🔸 ATR (Average True Range) is then used to create six dynamic price levels above & below the baseline.
🔸 These levels define different risk zones—higher levels indicate increased volatility and potential trend exhaustion.
📈 ATR Zones Explained
🔹 Lower ATR Levels (Buying Opportunities)
📉 Lower Level 1-2 → Mild Oversold Zone (Potential trend continuation)
📉 Lower Level 3-4 → High Volatility Buy Zone (Aggressive traders start scaling in)
📉 Lower Level 5-6 → Extreme Oversold Zone (High-Risk Reversal Area)
🔹 If price enters these lower zones, it may indicate a potential buying opportunity, especially if combined with trend reversal confirmation.
🔹 Upper ATR Levels (Selling / Take Profit Zones)
📈 Upper Level 1-2 → Mild Overbought Zone (Potential pullback area)
📈 Upper Level 3-4 → High Volatility Sell Zone (Aggressive traders start scaling out)
📈 Upper Level 5-6 → Extreme Overbought Zone (High-Risk for Reversal)
🔹 If price enters these upper zones, it may indicate a potential selling opportunity or trend exhaustion, especially if momentum slows.
🔹 Sensitivity Modes
🔹 Aggressive Mode (More Frequent Signals) → Triggers buy/sell signals at Lower/Upper Level 3 & 4
🔹 Conservative Mode (Stronger Confirmation) → Triggers buy/sell signals at Lower/Upper Level 5 & 6
📌 Choose the mode based on your trading style:
✔ Scalpers & short-term traders → Use Aggressive Mode
✔ Swing & trend traders → Use Conservative Mode for stronger confirmations
🚀 How to Use the Indicator
🔹 For Trend Trading:
✅ Buy when price enters the lower ATR zones (especially in uptrends).
✅ Sell when price enters the upper ATR zones (especially in downtrends).
🔹 For Breakout Trading:
✅ Breakout Buy: Price breaks above Upper ATR Level 3 → Momentum entry for trend continuation
✅ Breakout Sell: Price breaks below Lower ATR Level 3 → Momentum short opportunity
🔹 Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Suggestions
🚨 Stop-Loss: Suggested at Lower ATR Level 6 (for longs) or Upper ATR Level 6 (for shorts)
🎯 Take-Profit: Suggested at Upper ATR Level 3 (for longs) or Lower ATR Level 3 (for shorts)
🔹 Why This Indicator is Unique
✔ Multiple ATR layers for better risk-adjusted trading decisions
✔ Combines ATR-based zones with SMA trend confirmation
✔ Both aggressive & conservative trading modes available
✔ Includes automatic stop-loss & take-profit suggestions
✔ Breakout signals for momentum traders

📌 Overview
Iron Bot Statistical Trend Filter is an advanced trend filtering strategy that combines statistical methods with technical analysis.
By leveraging Z-score and Fibonacci levels, this strategy quantitatively analyzes market trends to provide high-precision entry signals.
Additionally, it includes an optional EMA filter to enhance trend reliability.
Risk management is reinforced with Stop Loss (SL) and four Take Profit (TP) levels, ensuring a balanced approach to risk and reward.
📌 Key Features
🔹 1. Statistical Trend Filtering with Z-Score
This strategy calculates the Z-score to measure how much the price deviates from its historical mean.
Positive Z-score: Indicates a statistically high price, suggesting a strong uptrend.
Negative Z-score: Indicates a statistically low price, signaling a potential downtrend.
Z-score near zero: Suggests a ranging market with no strong trend.
By using the Z-score as a filter, market noise is reduced, leading to more reliable entry signals.
🔹 2. Fibonacci Levels for Trend Reversal Detection
The strategy integrates Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential reversal points in the market.
High Trend Level (Fibo 23.6%): When the price surpasses this level, an uptrend is likely.
Low Trend Level (Fibo 78.6%): When the price falls below this level, a downtrend is expected.
Trend Line (Fibo 50%): Acts as a midpoint, helping to assess market balance.
This allows traders to visually confirm trend strength and turning points, improving entry accuracy.
🔹 3. EMA Filter for Trend Confirmation (Optional)
The strategy includes an optional 200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) filter for trend validation.
Price above 200 EMA: Indicates a bullish trend (long entries preferred).
Price below 200 EMA: Indicates a bearish trend (short entries preferred).
Enabling this filter reduces false signals and improves trend-following accuracy.
🔹 4. Multi-Level Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Management
To ensure effective risk management, the strategy includes four Take Profit levels and a Stop Loss:
Stop Loss (SL): Automatically closes trades when the price moves against the position by a certain percentage.
TP1 (+0.75%): First profit-taking level.
TP2 (+1.1%): A higher probability profit target.
TP3 (+1.5%): Aiming for a stronger trend move.
TP4 (+2.0%): Maximum profit target.
This system secures profits at different stages and optimizes risk-reward balance.
🔹 5. Automated Long & Short Trading Logic

John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions.

Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep [TrendX_]The Follow Through Day (FTD) + Sweep indicator is a Trend-following tool mixing William O'Neil's original FTD concept and Liquidity concept. This indicator helps you identify potential subsequent bullish trends with greater precision by combining volume analysis, price action, and liquidity concepts.
💎 FEATURES
Follow Through Day Candle (FTD Candle)
The FTD, pioneered by William O'Neil, serves as a reliable signal for identifying the beginning of new bull markets. It's particularly valuable because it combines multiple market factors - price action, volume, and timing - to confirm genuine market reversals rather than temporary bounces.
The power of the FTD lies in its ability to distinguish between ordinary market fluctuations and significant trend changes. By requiring specific criteria to be met across multiple sessions, it helps filter out false signals and identifies high-probability reversal points where institutional investors are likely beginning to accumulate positions.
Sweep Area
The Sweep area feature enhances the traditional FTD concept by incorporating modern liquidity analysis. This overlay identifies zones where large market participants are likely to trigger stop losses before continuing the trend. These areas often represent optimal entry points for traders looking to join the new uptrend with reduced risk.
🔎 BREAKDOWN
FTD Candle
The FTD formation process occurs in two distinct phases: Setup and Completion.
Setup Phase
Strong Market Decline
The market must first experience a significant downtrend
This selling pressure helps clear out weak hands and creates oversold conditions
The decline creates the potential energy for a powerful reversal
First Recovery Session
Marks the initial sign of buying pressure emerging
Often characterized by a strong reversal candle
Represents the first indication that selling pressure may be exhausting
Recovery Confirmation
The second and third days must maintain prices above the new pivot low
This consolidation period helps confirm the validity of the initial bounce
Shows that sellers are no longer in control of price action
Completion Phase:
Supply Test Session
Low volume indicates diminishing selling pressure
Price remains above the pivot low
Creates the foundation for institutional buyers to begin accumulating
Breakout Day
Price increase exceeds average profit of bullish candles
Volume increases by at least 15% compared to previous session
Shows strong institutional commitment to the new uptrend
Timing Window
Must occur between the 4th and 8th candle after First Recovery Session
This specific timing helps confirm the sustainability of the reversal
Based on O'Neil's research of historical market bottoms
FTD Sweep
The Post-FTD Phase introduces the Sweep concept, which is crucial for understanding how large market participants operate. This feature leverages the liquidity concept because institutional traders often need to trigger stop losses to accumulate larger positions at better prices. This helps:
Create liquidity pools for large position entries
Shake out weak hands before continuing the trend
Test the strength of the new trend by absorbing selling pressure
⚙️ USAGE
Sweep + TP & SL Strategy
Example: BTCUSDT (1D) - Replay back to 9th November 2024
After an FTD candle forms, traders can adopt a systematic approach to enhance their trading strategy. First, they should determine the swing range and convert the post-FTD zone into concrete stop loss and take profit levels, which are based on the price action during the FTD formation. Next, traders should wait for a sweep formation, as this indicates that institutional players are accumulating positions. A quick price rejection from the sweep level should be observed before executing an entry.
The reasoning behind this strategy is rooted in market microstructure. By waiting for the sweep, traders position themselves alongside institutional players who need to build large positions without causing adverse price movement. The sweep creates the liquidity they need, and the subsequent move often represents the true trend continuation.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.
MCP Stop Strategy [JARUTIR]The MCP Stop Strategy is a trading tool designed to help traders lock in profits and manage risks. It is based on the concept of setting a MCP (Mental Capacity Preservation) Stop explained in the book "The Lifecycle Trade". I call it Maximum Controllable Profit Stop which helps protect profits once a stock or asset reaches a new peak. The MCP Stop is dynamically calculated based on the Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price), and is adjusted using a customizable percentage (MCP%) to retain a portion of the gains from the peak price during a drawdown.
Key Features :
MCP Stop Calculation: The script calculates the MCP Stop as:
MCP Stop = Buy Price + (Peak Price - Buy Price) x MCP%
This helps you protect a portion of your gains (defined by MCP%) as the price moves in your favor.
Flexible Buy Date Option:
You can either manually input a Buy Date or let the script automatically detect the Buy Date when the price first meets or exceeds the user-defined Buy Price.
After the Buy Date, the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price are plotted on the chart for easy visualization.
Customizable Parameters:
Buy Price: The price at which the asset was bought.
MCP Percentage: The percentage of profit from the peak that you want to retain in case of a drawdown.
Lookback Length: The number of bars to consider when calculating the Peak Price (All Time High).
How to Use the Script :
Set the Buy Price: Enter the price at which you bought the asset.
Set the MCP%: Enter the percentage of profits you want to protect from the peak. For example, if you want to retain 10% of the gain from the peak, set this to 10.
Choose the Buy Date Method:
Automated Buy Date: The script will automatically detect the first bar where the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
Manual Buy Date: If you prefer to specify a particular Buy Date, input the desired date and time.
View the MCP Stop and Peak Price: After the Buy Date (either manually or automatically detected), the MCP Stop, Buy Price, and Peak Price will be plotted on the chart.
Monitor the MCP Stop Trigger: The script will alert you when the price falls below the MCP Stop, indicating a potential exit point to protect profits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the MCP Stop?
The MCP Stop is a dynamic stop-loss level that adjusts based on your Buy Price and the All Time High Price (Peak Price). It protects a portion of your gains from the peak, which is defined by the MCP%. For example, if you set the MCP% to 10%, the script will retain 10% of the gains from the peak and use this as a stop-loss.
2. How does the Buy Date work?
The Buy Date is the date when you entered the position:
If you choose Automated Buy Date, the script will automatically set the Buy Date to the first bar when the price meets or exceeds the Buy Price.
If you choose Manual Buy Date, you can specify a particular date and time when you want the strategy to start calculating and plotting the MCP Stop and Peak Price.
3. What happens if the price falls below the MCP Stop?
If the price drops below the MCP Stop, the script will mark this as a potential exit point, helping you protect profits. A visual alert (MCP STOP) will be shown on the chart when the price reaches or falls below the MCP Stop.
4. Can I adjust the Lookback Length for Peak Price?
Yes, you can customize the Lookback Length (the number of bars the script considers when calculating the Peak Price) by entering a value in the input field. By default, it is set to 1000 bars, which represents a few months of historical data, but you can increase or decrease this based on your trading strategy.
5. Why would I want to use the automated Buy Date?
The Automated Buy Date is useful for traders who want the script to automatically track the Buy Date when the price first reaches or exceeds the Buy Price. This is helpful when you're unsure of the exact entry date but know the price at which you bought the asset. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual input.
6. Can I use this strategy for long and short positions?
The current version of this script is designed for long positions, where you buy an asset and want to protect your profits as the price increases. If you're interested in applying it to short positions, you would need to adjust the logic accordingly (e.g., tracking the lowest price instead of the peak price).
7. Can I modify the script to fit my trading strategy?
Yes, this script is highly customizable. You can adjust parameters such as Buy Price, MCP%, and Lookback Length to suit your specific trading style. You can also tweak the visual appearance of the plotted lines and alerts.

Z The Good Stuff +I created this script to have a couple datapoints that I want to look at when going through charts to find trade ideas. Qullamaggie is one of my biggest inspirations and I built in a couple of his concepts with a touch to help me with sizing properly, all explained below:
Box 1: ADR %, Average Daily Range, gives and indication of how volatile the stock is. It uses the 20 day average % move of the current stock on the chart.
Box 2: LOD Distance, low of day distance is a quality of life element I created. It calculates the low for the current candle and color codes it red or green depending on if it's higher or lower than the daily ADR. The logic is that if a stock has an average speed, buying on a setup it is preferred if the stop distance (assuming a low of day stop) should be less than the ADR to improve the odds of more upside.
Box 3: Todays DV, this shows a rough estimate of how much money was traded on the particular day.
Box 4: ADV 20 days, similar to above this shows the 20 day $ traded average. The point to look at it is to have a better idea what position size is possible to not get stuck in something too illiquid.
Box 5: Market cap, just shows the market cap of the stock to know what size the company is.
Box 6: Number of shares, this is an additional quality of life aspect. If using low of day stops, this part calculates based on the users' inputted portfolio size and portfolio risk preference and then calculates how many stocks to buy to stay within the risk parameters. It is obviously not a sole decision making parameter nor does it guarantee any execution, but if a stock is showing an entry you want to take you can use the number of shares to help you know how many to buy. The preset is a portfolio of 10000 and a risk of 0.25%. This means that the number of shares to buy will be at the current price with lod stop that would result in a 0.25% portfolio loss. OF COURSE the actual loss depends on the execution and if the user places a stop loss order.
Hope you find it useful and feel free to give feedback! Cheers!

SMB MagicSMB Magic
Overview: SMB Magic is a powerful technical strategy designed to capture breakout opportunities based on price movements, volume spikes, and trend-following logic. This strategy works exclusively on the XAU/USD symbol and is optimized for the 15-minute time frame. By incorporating multiple factors, this strategy identifies high-probability trades with a focus on risk management.
Key Features:
Breakout Confirmation:
This strategy looks for price breakouts above the previous high or below the previous low, with a significant volume increase. A breakout is considered valid when it is supported by strong volume, confirming the strength of the price move.
Price Movement Filter:
The strategy ensures that only significant price movements are considered for trades, helping to avoid low-volatility noise. This filter targets larger price swings to maximize potential profits.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
A long-term trend filter is applied to ensure that buy trades occur only when the price is above the moving average, and sell trades only when the price is below it.
Fibonacci Levels:
Custom Fibonacci retracement levels are drawn based on recent price action. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones and help determine the exit points for trades.
Take Profit/Stop Loss:
The strategy incorporates predefined take profit and stop loss levels, designed to manage risk effectively. These levels are automatically applied to trades and are adjusted based on the market's volatility.
Volume Confirmation:
A volume multiplier confirms the strength of the breakout. A trade is only considered when the volume exceeds a certain threshold, ensuring that the breakout is supported by sufficient market participation.
How It Works:
Entry Signals:
Buy Signal: A breakout above the previous high, accompanied by significant volume and price movement, occurs when the price is above the trend-following filter (e.g., EMA).
Sell Signal: A breakout below the previous low, accompanied by significant volume and price movement, occurs when the price is below the trend-following filter.
Exit Strategy:
Each position (long or short) has predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels, which are designed to protect capital and lock in profits at key points in the market.
Fibonacci Levels:
Fibonacci levels are drawn to identify potential areas of support or resistance, which can be used to guide exits and stop-loss placements.
Important Notes:
Timeframe Restriction: This strategy is designed specifically for the 15-minute time frame.
Symbol Restriction: The strategy works exclusively on the XAU/USD (Gold) symbol and is not recommended for use with other instruments.
Best Performance in Trending Markets: It works best in trending conditions where breakouts occur frequently.
Disclaimer:
Risk Warning: Trading involves risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always conduct your own research and make informed decisions before trading.
Dynamic Trading Strategy with Key Levels, Entry/Exit ManagementThis indicator provides a complete rule-based trading system, combining key levels, entry conditions, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP) management. It’s designed to dynamically adapt to market conditions by identifying crucial support and resistance zones, determining entry points based on price action and volume, and calculating risk-based exit targets.
Key Features
Key Level Identification:
The indicator automatically identifies support and resistance levels based on recent price highs and lows within a customizable lookback period.
It adds a dynamic buffer around these levels using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility, ensuring the zones adjust to changing conditions.
Entry Conditions:
Bullish Entry: Triggers near the support zone when there’s upward price action, confirmed by volume spikes and bullish candlestick patterns (e.g., hammers, engulfing candles).
Bearish Entry: Triggers near the resistance zone when signs of rejection appear, confirmed by volume spikes and bearish candlestick patterns (e.g., shooting stars, bearish engulfing).
Entry zones are highlighted visually on the chart using green (bullish) and red (bearish) shaded boxes.
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
Stop Loss: Calculated based on ATR multipliers, allowing you to set a volatility-adjusted risk level beyond the entry range.
Take Profit: Includes two profit-taking levels (TP1 and TP2), allowing for partial position exits. TP levels are calculated based on a reward-to-risk ratio, ensuring consistent profitability targets.
SL and TP levels are clearly marked with horizontal lines and labeled as SL, TP1, and TP2, helping you manage trade exits effectively.
Market Context Adaptability:
The indicator adapts to both trending and ranging market conditions. In trending markets, it favors trades that follow the trend, while in ranging markets, it focuses on reversals within the range boundaries.
Visual Aids:
Entry zones are highlighted with shaded boxes to indicate potential buy/sell regions.
SL, TP1, and TP2 levels are clearly drawn with labels, allowing for easy identification of exit points.
How to Use
Identify Key Levels: Look for support and resistance zones highlighted by the indicator on your chart.
Wait for Entry Conditions: When the price enters the entry range (marked by green or red boxes), wait for confirmation signals—such as volume spikes and candlestick patterns.
Manage Exits: Use the SL, TP1, and TP2 levels for structured trade management. Consider scaling out partially at TP1 and exiting fully at TP2.
Ideal For:
This indicator is suitable for traders who prefer a systematic approach to trading, with clear entry and exit rules. It is particularly helpful for those looking to balance risk and reward with well-defined take profit and stop loss levels.
