[Options Strategies] Selling Covered Calls and Puts (TSO) This trading indicator assists with traditional covered options trading strategies like Covered Calls, Covered Puts, and Cash Secured Puts. It also offers advanced features for trading options intelligently by utilizing options specific levels, such as BE (Break Even) and Strike (all visually shown on chart) in combination with S&R (Support and Resistance), Trend Lines, and other technical analysis tools such as MA (Moving Averages) and ATR Average True Range, all integrated within the indicator.
* Covered options approach over trading shares or options separately offers distinct advantages:
- Reduced Risk and Flexibility : Covered options strategy provides a more conservative approach by combining stock ownership with options trading. It reduces risk exposure compared to buying options outright or trading shares alone. Additionally, it offers flexibility in various market conditions.
- Profitability in Sideways Markets: Covered options allow for profitability in scenarios where the stock price is either moving optimally or remaining sideways. In contrast, just holding stocks might not yield significant gains in a sideways market, and buying options can result in losses due to time decay.
- Protection Against Price Movements: In covered options, if the stock price goes against the trade, the loss is mitigated by the premium received from selling the options. This provides a level of protection compared to other trading strategies where losses can accumulate more rapidly.

An example of a Smart Covered Calls trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> S&R (Support and Resistance) or Trend Line broken, bounced off or simply near (if price is near/slightly crossing S&R/Trend Line > a bounce often takes place)
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Broken Resistance combined with a Trend Line up-bounce, confirmed by bullish 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept + stock assigned/sold at a higher price than it was purchased.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: stock sold at a slight loss with options contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a lower price than initially sold (since price went down and these are calls), so technically the loss is reduced by the partial Premium still kept from initially sold contracts at trade open.
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of a Smart Covered Puts trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bearish/Sideway)
>>> S&R (Support and Resistance) or Trend Line broken, bounced off or simply near (if price is near/slightly crossing S&R/Trend Line > a bounce often takes place)
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Broken Resistance combined with a Trend Line down-bounce, confirmed by bearish 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept + stock assigned/bought-to-cover at a lower price than it was shorted.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: stock bought-to-cover at a slight loss with options contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a lower price than initially sold (since price went up and these are puts), so technically the loss is reduced by the partial Premium still kept from initially sold contracts at trade open.
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of a Smart Secured Cash Puts trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> Bullish steady trend.
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Slowly rising price action above 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Early BTC: BTC (Buy to Close) before Expiration date if options premium/contract price already reduced by at least 50-90% (the reduced price is the profit, if premium lost 90% - only 10% will need to be paid to buy options out to close the trade) and if the stock price is nearing Resistance, Trend Line or big length moving average (like 200EMA) as a bounce may happen or even a potential reverse of the trend. If there is no trend reversal or a small correction bounce occurs, with further trend continuation > another Cash Secured Puts trade can be opened with new Expiration date and Strike.
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept, considering the Strike was never hit.
>>> Assignment with stock closing below Strike and above/near BE (Break Even): Premium received for selling contracts kept. NOTE: It is best to get rid of the stock ASAP to then open a new Cash Secured Puts trade with lower Strike and a new Expiration date.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a higher price than initially sold (since price went down and these are puts), the amount/difference in current contract price is the loss (as premium received + contract price increase is the total cost, which will have to be paid to buy the countracts out).
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of Options Wheel strategy trading TQQQ. See how Strike and BE (Break Even) hits are displayed every time they occur.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> Options Wheel strategy combines Cash Secured Puts with Covered Calls, so a steady bullish trend is preferred with lower volatility.
>>> It's best to start with Cash Secured Puts until assignment hits (stocks purchased), then switch to Covered Calls until assignment hits (stocks sold) and so on.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept. Stock is assigned (purchased if Cash Secured Puts were sold | sold if Covered Calls were sold ).
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss)
>>> Assignment is the stop-loss for this strategy, which ends current trade and starts next one. It is not a direct loss, but could result a long unrealized losses if after stock purchase assignment it goes down for a while or even a complete loss if low-cap company is used and it goes out of business.
>>> BE/SL distance can still be increased/kept optimal: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established Trend Line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

01 Position CalculatorI present to your attention a calculator for calculating the volume per position.
This calculator is tested on cryptocurrency trading and MOEX liquid shares!
This calculator is suitable for beginners to make it easier to study trading and not get confused at the very beginning with volume calculations, I also use it for virtual trading, a position is drawn on the chart in real time, which shows the amount of loss or profit, that is, with the help of it I I practice different strategies without losing real money on experiments.
All calculations are made at your risk.
You need to indicate what your working deposit is, what percentage of it you are willing to risk per day, the number of your losing trades for one trading session, after which you will stop trading for that day, the amount of risk will be divided by the number of unprofitable trades.
The principle of operation is as simple as possible, you need to indicate three lines on the chart 1 - time line: it is needed so that a position on the chart can be drawn from it. 2 – Entry line for entering a position: the price at which you want to buy an asset. 3 – stop loss line “SL”: the price upon reaching which your losing trade will be closed. If the 3-stop loss line is placed below the 2-Entry line, then a long position will be calculated, if the stop loss line is above the Entry line, then a short position will be calculated. take profit "TP" is calculated automatically according to your settings in the menu.
And so on in order through the menu from top to bottom.
1. Rounding the volume to a whole number: if you select “round”, then the volume of the acquired asset (shares, coins, etc.) will be rounded to a whole number, but be careful if your deposit is $100, and the cost of 1 unit of the asset is more than $1000, then the calculator will give error. MOEX shares are traded only in whole lots, so rounding occurs automatically.
2. Automatic calculation of SL in 1 ATR of the selected TF (auto/manual) (ATR...): if you select auto and specify, for example, ATR 1h, then your “SL” will be calculated automatically and set at a distance from Entry of 1 ATR of the hourly time frame (this is the average price change over 1 hour)
3. Cryptocurrency deposit commission, MOEX deposit commission: I made two different deposits on purpose so as not to change the settings each time, depending on the schedule you choose, MOEX or cryptocurrency, the required deposit and commission will be automatically taken into account.
4. Slippage: this is the percentage of slippage on closing a position at a stop loss.
5. Daily drawdown % (...): this is the percentage of your trading deposit that you are willing to risk for one trading session, the amount at risk.
6. Ratio rice /profit 1/ (...): you need to indicate the SL/TP ratio, based on this your income per trade is calculated and the distance to TP is outlined on the graph.
7. Number of losing trades (...): this is the number of your trades per trading session after receiving which you will end trading for that day, the amount of risk will be divided by the number of losing trades.
8. Position: you can enter the start date of the position and Entry and SL prices
9. ATR – specify the number of last candles to calculate the average price movement of the selected time frame
Now, as for the tables located by default on the left and right at the bottom of the screen, I made windows with descriptions; when you hover the cursor over a cell, a description pops up.
RU
Этот калькулятор проверен, на торговле криптовалюты и ликвидных акциях MOEX!
Этот калькулятор подойдет начинающим, чтоб облегчить изучение торговли и не запутаться в самом начале с расчётами объемов, так же я использую его для виртуальной торговли, на графике в реальном времени рисуется позиция, на которой видно суму убытка или прибыли, то есть с помощью него я отрабатываю разные стратегии, не теряя реальные деньги на эксперименты.
Все расчеты делаются от вашего риска.
Вам необходимо указать какой ваш рабочий депозит, каким процентом от него вы готовы рискнуть на день, количество ваших убыточных сделок на одну торговую сессию, после которых вы прекратите торговлю на этот день, сумма риска будет поделена на количество убыточных сделок.
Принцип работы максимально прост, вам нужно указать на графике три линии 1 - линия время: она нужна чтоб от нее рисовался позиция на графике. 2 –линия Entry входа в позицию: цена по которой вы хотите купить актив. 3 – линия stop loss «SL»: цена при достижении которой закроется ваша убыточная сделка. Если линию 3-stop loss разместить под линией 2-Entry то будет рассчитываться длинная позиция, ели лини stop loss будет над линией Entry то будет рассчитываться короткая позиция. take profit «TP» рассчитывается автоматически согласно вашим настройкам в меню.
И так по порядку по меню с верху в низ.
1. Округление объема до целого: если выбрать «round -округлить», то объем приобретаемого актива (акции, монеты и другого) будет округлен до целого числа, но будьте внимательны если ваш депозит 100$, а стоимость 1 единицы актива более 1000$ то калькулятор выдаст ошибку. Акции MOEX торгуются только целыми лотами потому округление происходит автоматически.
2. Авто расчёт SL в 1 ATR выбранного TF (auto/manual) (ATR…): если выбрать auto и указать, к примеру ATR 1h, то ваш «SL», будет рассчитан автоматически и выставлен на расстоянии от Entry в 1 ATR часового time frame (это усредненное изменение цены за 1 час)
3. Депозит крипто валюты комиссия, депозит MOEX комиссия: сделал специально два разных депозита чтоб каждый раз не менять настройки, в зависимости от выбранного вами графика, MOEX или криптовалюта, будет автоматически браться в расчет нужный депозит и комиссия.
4. Проскальзывание: это процент на проскальзывание закрытия позиции по stop loss.
5. Просадка на день % (…): это процент от вашего торгового депозита, которым вы готовы рискнуть на одну торговую сессию, сумма риска надень.
6. Соотношение рис /прибыль 1/ (…): вам нужно указать соотношение SL/TP на основе этого рассчитывается ваш доход на сделку и на графике обрисовывается расстояние до TP.
7. Количество убыточных сделок (…): это количество ваших сделок на торговую сессию после получения, которых вы закончите торговлю на этот день, сумма риска надень будет поделена на количество убыточных сделок.
8. Позиция: можно вписать дату начала позиции и цены Entry и SL
9. ATR – укажите количество последних свечей для расчета среднего движения цены выбранного time frame
Теперь что касается таблиц расположенных по умолчанию с лева и справа в низу экрана, я сделал окна с описаниями, при наведении курсора на ячейку всплывает описание.
PTS Pi-Osc V1
The PTS - Pi-Osc know as Precision Index Oscillator by Roger Medcalf - Precision Trading Systems.
How does the Pi-Osc work?
Pi-Osc is a highly sophisticated consensus type indicator comprising of many different component signals.
A technical traders tool that measures everything from divergences to probabilities all blended into one simple to use product.
The buy and selling opportunities are highlighted by the moves away from + or - 3.14.
Simple to use for all levels of experience from beginner to expert and offers a unique edge in terms of precision.
The components that go into computations are identified below.
Money flow index provides a simple snapshot of how sold out or pumped up a stock or future really is and when measured in three different time frames gives a slick consensus view of money flow.
Relative strength index (RSI) still the No1 most popular indicator in use today as its power to identify overbought and oversold qualities in sideways markets is exceptional.
Its poor performance in trends is greatly reduced when seamlessly integrated with the PI-Osc algorithm.
Demand index being one of the designers favourite indicators for measuring the future direction caused by a large volume trade is incorporated here as well as its exceptional efficiency as a divergence indicator.
James Sibbet's creation provides an additional stellar incisive cutting accuracy to the Pi-Osc. Sibbets creation is one of the only indicators with true predictive qualities as a leading indicator.
Divergences. Pi-Osc measures divergences which occur over many look back periods from two different indicators, realising that divergences are often spurious in their reliability, the indicator only factors 4% of the total indicator
reading from these. Paradoxically the buy and sell zones have to have at least one observation of a divergence to trigger a signal.
Volume is always a factor that precedes a price change, as stock prices cannot move without a real money value being assigned to it either as a recent trade or a bid-offer order being placed.
The designer's understanding of volume patterns is a very useful addition incorporated into the Pi-Osc indicators unique conception.
Momentum frequently decelerates prior to market turning points and PI-osc is monitoring several timeframes of smoothed momentum samples in its calculations.
But unlike a conventional rate of change or momentum indicator the Pi-Osc indicator scores a neutral reading when momentum is rising or falling fast, and a reading is only factored into the output when momentum is reducing, thus
indicating a higher probability of success.
Probability is another feature of this algorithm.
Although rarely used in industry standard oscillators, the designer has added a standard deviation (2.9) factor into this indicator as the more usual 2 standard deviations used in Bollinger bands is just not reliable enough to bet hard earned cash on.
Normally distributed price sets have a 99.9% containment within 3.3 standard deviations, so when this is breached the Pi-Osc adds or deducts a further value to its output number.
Stochastics have similar attributes to RSI oscillators and have contributed a factor into PI-osc due to their smooth and reliable ability to identify buying and selling points in non trending markets.
Price patterns. Generally the industry standard oscillators just use the closing price to calculate their values, and although some indicators such as the stochastic use the high and low in their mathematics, few oscillators are actually programmed to respond to unique candlestick chart set ups.
PI-osc is setting the standard with its intelligent programming to recognise when the current chart pattern is shouting buy signals. Several of the more reliable patterns are factored into the algorithm.
When all the maths is done, Pi-Osc does an exceptional job of determining true buying and selling points.
Basically the trading interpretation is made very simple for you, as the buy and sell zones are so logically determined, not by one factor but from a large consensus "vote" from more than one different computation.
The benefits of this indicator are that it saves valuable time in "confirming technical analysis signals" and all trades know time is precious as large price changes can be missed in seconds while checking other confirming factors.
It takes the hard work out of it, and lets your computer do the brain work.
Ideally this indicator is best as an entry signal, and exits are best done with a trailing stop which has a logical trend following exit, as its quite rare that the Pi-Osc will run right to the other extreme and issue a reverse signal.
Precision Index Oscillator has now got a new rule as a result of the gradual rise in market volatility.
Apart from the other well known main rules to wait for the bounce away from Pi and trade in the direction of the major trend, the new rule is to experiment to find the best historical timeframe.
In the old days it would fire up very nicely on a 10 minute chart of most things, and still does (sometimes) but the futures markets and the very volatile cryptocurrencies now go way out of the old extremities in terms of deviations from the norm.
So it is essential to know what the market volatility is capable of on each instrument.
The point being made here is that using this on very short term time frames is not as safe as used to be.
Institutions enjoy working together to drive the prices into areas where most traders did not expect them to go, taking out all the stops and getting a better price for themselves.
So the first task after ordering this product is to create multiple minute chart settings in your Trading View platform and then click through them and there you will find hopefully find the holy grail, just like finding the best guitar,
amplifier and effects pedal settings for creating your own personalized type of music, finding the best timeframe to use you Pi-Osc is the essential work.
The holy grail usually turns out to be nothing more complex than a stop watch:
If the best setting turns out to be 15 minutes or 30 seconds on a volatile market or a 4 hours minute chart on a very volatile market then so be it.
Who cares? Does it matter?
All that matters is you find the way to get to the best results from this product.
Precision Index Oscillator has eight rules
1. Trade in the direction of the major trend
2. Find the time frame that has worked best in historical testing ( This can be a different setting for each market )
3. ALWAYS use a stop loss
4. Wait for the bounce away from Pi
5. Wait for the bounce away from Pi
6 Wait for the bounce away from Pi
7 Wait for the bounce away from Pi
8. Remember the other seven rules.
Precision Index Oscillator clarification of rules 3 to 7
This indicator can stay locked at the extreme Pi level for many bars, days, hours, minutes, seconds etc.
Taking the signal before the bounce comes is like the well known phrase "catching the falling knife".
Taking the signal before the bounce is a "Pi-Crime" and is a bad idea. Ignoring this point will likely result in losses
As Ed Seykota puts it in his usual amusing style, the problem with catching falling knives is that there are more knives than we have fingers.
He is referring to a market sell off rather than a sell off in one market.
When everything is crashing and we buy all of the crashing things at once, yes you guessed it: A painful day for the fingers!
Suggested settings for various lengths:
There are no settings to change. The beauty of Pi-Osc is there are no settings to be changed.
Your testing of "Pi signal qualifications" is confined only to selecting a time frame which appears to have offered good Pi-trades in the past.
This does not guarantee future signals will be good, and this is why risk control is essential.
Of course it is smart to experiement with different time periods of chart.
Execution of trades:
Exercise caution with this product.
Risk control is essential and risking more than 1% to 1.5% of your capital from entry price to stop would NOT be advised:
As with hunting, firing out lots of small trades in a shot gun approach will lead to better results than gambling all on the first signal you see.
There is much more chance of hitting a bird with a shot gun than a canon and the ammunition is much cheaper.
Always always use a stop loss. Something like 3 to 7 times a fifty period average true range for example.
Whilst it is often possible that a Pi-bounce appears exactly at the precise high or low of the week and could be the only one you see it is risky just to pile into it instantly as some markets produce several failed signals which continue to move in the same direction.
The safest and least risky method is to wait for the trend to change after the Pi-bounce. This is subjective to your own definition of how to measure the trend as "changing" but I would suggest waiting for a 8-20 period Exponential average to turn around before entering a trade.
Once the trade is entered you can implement a trailing stop to allow maximum potential gains and if your style is one of wanting to take quick profits then it is wise to take only some partial profits and give the move a chance to go somewhere and exit the remainder when the trend changes.
If the move was picked up near the absolute top or bottom it could be a large mistake to bail out of all of it early.
Market selection is important:
Avoid markets in endless smooth trends. These are best trading with trend following products ( Pi-Osc is not a trend following product )
Look for a choppy up or down trend or sideways market with some cycle qualities to it.
Best results are on liquid markets, you can observe the past signals and often history repeats with the good previous signals tending to indicate that future signals may also be good. (This is not certain of course)
This is also true of a market showing several historically bad signals which may be leading to more bad signals.
If the past performance of this indicator is poor on the market you are viewing, then move to another market until one is found where the readings show good price action after the signals in historical data.
Time frames:
This product can be applied to any time frame of market but be aware as is stated above, the slower time frames yield more valid signals and shorter time frames lead to more randomness and noise ridden plots of lower significance.
That said, it provides a valid reason to enter a trade and can give good results providing good stops and risk control are used. I have seen plenty of valid signals on 30 second charts right up to weekly charts.
The reliability of short term intra day time frames is usually lower than weekly or daily time frames. As 10 minute time frame is more reliable than a 30 second chart.
Please take this into consideration, try slowing down the impulses to go fast.
I am now accepting payments in USD or CHF for this product
This is not because I expect a US Dollar collapse but as a precaution to spread currency risk over different classes.
As FX rates vary substantially you can find the option that is cheaper than the other and it is fine to do that and choose the cheaper payment option.
Thanks for reading and I hope you do well with Pi-Osc on Trading View, just remember all the eight rules. You do remember them don't you?

Bounce Manager S/RThis script is based on the bounce manager ATR script
The S/R script is made for manual input of horizontal S/R lines, the script will then see if price respects these levels by the parameters you input in settings panel. On a respectable bounce it will print buy/sell arrows. The script also has functionality to send alerts, this is helpful if you want to automate S/R lines.
An easy strategy to use would be the one you see in the preview using a grid of round numbers. This script in no way shape or form promises easy gains and like all algorithms should be forward tested on a paper trading account before using real money.
components:
- Max violation: When price moves past this the script will no longer look for entry until a new trend has been established. The line can also be used as a stop loss.
- Confirmation line: When price touches the line during a trend it
will wait to cross over this line to confirm a reaction from the line.
- Min past distance: A trend filtering system, this is a distance from
the line price has to break to confirm trend direction.
- Stop loss: This can be set to a percentage distance from the low after
bounce. Or it can be set to the max violation line
- Take profit: This can be a fixed take profit target or a risk to reward
based take profit. With risk to reward it will multiply the stop loss
distance by the input and use that to create target (green cross)
- ATR based or % based: there are 2 versions of the script, one for strict
percentage based logic and another one based on ATR values
Part of the Honest Algo service.
Trading PanelWhen trading, position sizing and risk calculation is the key to become successful.
We need to keep the losses small and adjust the position size according to what
risk we are prepared to take for the planned Entry.
Based on the Account Size and the max percentage we want to risk for any trade,
we calculate, for a number of fixed max Loss percentages:
- The Position size, both in percent and in the selected currency.
- Number of shares to buy.
- Where to put the Stop Loss.
We also calculate the numbers based on the ATR times a multiple.
The values are presented in a table format and will hopefully aid in selecting
a suitable Stop Loss (based on the chart situation) and hence the proper Position Size.
We also allow for expressing the Account size in currencies other than USD.
Example:
Account Size in USD and trading US stocks: select USD
Account Size in SEK but trading US stocks: select USDSEK
TrendMaster FreeTrendMaster Free
This is the free version of TrendMaster. It includes the Cloud and the candle colouring rules but does not provide the entry, exit and stop loss management of the full version.
TrendMaster is a complete trend following system with strict entry, exit and trade management criteria. The indicator is optimised for weekly, daily and 4-hour candlesticks and can be used for all trending markets such as crypto, forex or stocks. It was developed primarily for less experienced traders that struggle to determine relevant information from irrelevant information when viewing a candlestick chart. The indicator was built to solve the problem that all new traders face.
The Cloud
The indicator includes a moving average cloud which serves as a visual guide to local support and resistance . When price exits the cloud to the upside it typically trends above and finds support at the cloud during retracements.
Candle Colours
By default, TrendMaster will colour your candles in black and white. White candles indicate an uptrend in an asset and the candles will not change colour until the trend has reversed and a counter-trend signal has been printed. Black candles indicate a downtrend, they will remain black until a counter-trend long signal candle has been printed.
Setting Up The Indicator
TrendMaster is optimised for Heikin-Ashi candles. Using candles with smoothing applied decreases the likelihood of whipsaw losses and provides a stable visual representation of the trend. Ensure you have applied Heikin-Ashi candles to your chart before continuing. You can customise to any style of your choice provided the candle borders and wicks are set to a uniform colour that contrasts the chart background.
Entries and Exits
A long signal candle is a white Heikin-Ashi candle that closes above the cloud. A short signal candle is a white Heikin-Ashi candle that closes below the cloud. Entries are taken with a pending order placed at the wick with a reasonable margin for error.
Upgrading
The full version of TrendMaster contains significantly more functionality including coloured signal candles, stop loss and trailing take profit management, alerts and much more.

◆ 신호 유형 이해하기
■ 기관 매수 신호
• 정의: 코인베이스 프라임을 통해 기관 투자자들이 연속적인 매수 활동을 보이며, 이와 함께 거래량 증가와 강한 상승 추세가 나타날 때 발생
• 시각적 표현: 매수 신호가 발생한 캔들에 반투명 파란색 바 컬러링과 함께 "Institution Buying Detected!" 라벨 표시
• 시장 해석: 기관 투자자들이 적극적으로 현물 비트코인을 매수하고 있으며, 이는 곧 가격 상승으로 이어질 가능성이 높음을 의미
• 신호 강도 요소:
▶ 연속적인 가격 상승 패턴
▶ 평균보다 높은 거래량
▶ 강한 상승 추세 강도 측정값
▶ 유의미한 가격 변동
■ 기관 매도 신호
• 정의: 코인베이스 프라임을 통해 기관 투자자들이 연속적인 매도 활동을 보이며, 이와 함께 거래량 증가와 강한 하락 추세가 나타날 때 발생
• 시각적 표현: 매도 신호가 발생한 캔들에 반투명 분홍색 바 컬러링과 함께 "Institution Selling Detected!" 라벨 표시
• 시장 해석: 기관 투자자들이 적극적으로 현물 비트코인을 매도하고 있으며, 이는 곧 가격 하락으로 이어질 가능성이 높음을 의미

Smart Money Liquidity Zones ProThe Smart Money Liquidity Zones Pro indicator identifies and visualizes key liquidity areas in the market where institutional traders (smart money) are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders. These zones represent areas of high liquidity that often act as magnets for price, making them valuable reference points for trading decisions.
What the Indicator Does
Core Functionality
Swing Point Detection: The indicator identifies significant swing highs and lows using three different methods (Classic, Fractal, or Combined) to locate potential liquidity pools.
Liquidity Zone Creation: At each valid swing point, the indicator creates a horizontal zone representing an area where stop-loss orders are likely clustered.
Zone Clustering: When multiple swing points occur near the same price level, the indicator intelligently combines them into larger cluster zones, indicating stronger liquidity areas.
Volume Confirmation: The indicator can filter zones based on volume, showing only those swing points that occurred with significant trading volume.
Zone Break Detection: When price closes through a liquidity zone, the indicator marks it as "Liquidity Taken" and removes the zone from the chart.
Zone Types
Buy-Side Liquidity Zones (Green): Created at swing highs where short sellers' stop-losses are likely placed
Sell-Side Liquidity Zones (Red): Created at swing lows where long traders' stop-losses are likely placed
Trading Strategies
Basic Concepts
Liquidity Runs: Price often moves toward these zones to trigger stop-loss orders before reversing. This creates trading opportunities.
Support and Resistance: Unbroken liquidity zones can act as support (sell-side) or resistance (buy-side) levels.
Breakout Confirmation: When price breaks through a zone with strong momentum, it often continues in that direction.
Entry Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Grab Reversa l
Wait for price to spike into a liquidity zone
Look for rejection candles (wicks) at the zone
Enter in the opposite direction after confirmation
Place stop-loss beyond the liquidity zone
Strategy 2: Zone Break Continuation
Wait for price to close decisively through a zone
Enter on the retest of the broken zone
Target the next liquidity zone in the direction of the break
Strategy 3: Zone Clustering Trade
Focus on areas with multiple overlapping zones (clusters)
These areas offer higher probability setups
Trade bounces from cluster zones with tighter risk management
Risk Management
Always use stop-losses beyond the liquidity zones
Consider the overall market context and trend
Zones on higher timeframes are generally more significant
Volume-confirmed zones have higher reliability

Support & Resistance AriesSupport & Resistance Aries
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance levels based on the highest and lowest closing prices within a configurable period.
How it works:
The user sets a calculation period (default is 20 candles).
The indicator plots:
Green line = Support: lowest closing price within the period.
Red line = Resistance: highest closing price within the period.
Adjustable parameter:
Calculation Period (1 to 200): defines how many candles are used to find the price extremes.
Purpose:
Helps users quickly visualize dynamic support and resistance zones that adjust as price evolves, making it easier to identify areas for potential entries, exits, and stop placements.
Important:
This indicator should not be used as a standalone buy or sell signal, nor as a trend confirmation tool on its own.
It is recommended to use it in combination with other technical analysis tools such as MACD, RSI, Volume, Moving Averages, among others, for a more complete market view.
Disclaimer:
Investing involves financial risk. Be cautious with both profits and losses. Always define a stop loss to avoid larger losses if the trend reverses.
One of the golden rules in trading is: a trader should not lose more than 3% to 5% of their capital per trade. Protecting your capital should always be the priority.
MTS📊 MTS (Murrey Math System) Trading Strategy for TradingView 📊
Introduction:
This script implements the Murrey Math System (MTS), a market analysis tool based on a set of pivot points and price ranges, designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance.
MTS calculates key price levels based on historical price swings and helps identify price targets, stop-loss levels, and potential breakout zones.
The strategy also includes an adaptive bias panel, showing buy or sell suggestions based on current price action relative to Murrey Math levels.
Key Components:
1. Pivot Calculation and Conditions:
Pivot Lookback & Spikeyness Index:
The pivots: lookback/forward input defines how far back (and forward) the script looks to identify potential pivot points (high and low). A smaller value focuses on more recent swings, while larger values consider a broader range.
The Spikeyness Index (atrMult) allows you to adjust sensitivity to market spikes, utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) to detect sharp price movements that could indicate potential turning points.
Pivot Conditions:
isPivHigh and isPivLow detect local high and low pivot points, respectively.
Spiky Conditions: The spikyH and spikyL conditions filter out pivots that do not meet the spikiness criteria, which is based on ATR and moving averages.
2. Swing High and Swing Low Identification:
The script identifies and stores previous swing highs (HR_prev) and lows (LR_prev), updating them based on the current market structure.
3. Proprietary Calculation:
The propCalc input enables a proprietary calculation method for determining higher or lower levels beyond the typical Murrey Math levels, offering a more adaptive approach to price targets and support/resistance levels.
4. Murrey Math Lines (MML):
MML Calculation:
The code calculates a set of Murrey Math Lines (EightEight, FourEight, ZeroEight), which are key price levels based on the range of the price over a given time period. These levels represent major support and resistance zones, with the EightEight line indicating extremely overbought conditions and ZeroEight signaling deeply oversold conditions.
Level and Extension Lines:
The script also plots additional levels and extensions based on the range between HR and LR, representing key support/resistance levels. These levels are dynamically drawn on the chart, offering clear insights into where price might reverse or break out.
Strategy Logic:
- Breakout and Breakdown:
The Bias Box panel dynamically displays a trade bias, either suggesting to "Buy on Dip" or "Sell on Rise," depending on whether the current price is above or below the midpoint of the Murrey Math range (BEP). This bias is calculated using the market's relationship to the Murrey Math Levels.
- Buy on Dip: When the price is below the midpoint (BEP), suggesting the market is in a buying zone.
- Sell on Rise: When the price is above the midpoint, suggesting the market is in a selling zone.
- Stop-Loss and Target Hints:
The stop-loss (SL) and target levels are dynamically set based on the position relative to HR and LR:
For Buy on Dip: SL is set at LR Low, Target is set at HR High.
For sell on Rise: SL is set at HR Low, Target is set at LR High.
2. Historical and Current Levels:
The script compares the most recent Murrey Math levels with historical levels. This helps identify any shifts or changes in the market structure, enhancing the trader's ability to adapt to new trends.
- Current Levels:
The current levels are drawn from the most recent HR and LR values, with corresponding extensions showing possible breakout or breakdown zones.
- Historical Levels:
Historical levels are drawn in a "ghost" style, helping traders visualize past market conditions and potential support/resistance zones that could still influence price movement.
- Trade Examples:
Example 1: Buy on Dip
a. Scenario:
Price is below the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a buy on dip.
The trader looks for a rebound from the LR Low level, with a target at the HR High.
b. Entry:
Buy when the price reaches the LR Low level.
c. Exit:
Take profit when the price hits the HR High.
d. Stop-Loss:
Place stop-loss at the LR Low.
Example 2: Sell on Rise
a. Scenario:
Price is above the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a sell on rise.
The trader looks for a pullback to the HR Low, with a target at the LR High.
b. Entry:
Sell when the price reaches the HR High level.
c. Exit:
Take profit when the price hits the LR Low.
d. Stop-Loss:
Place stop-loss at the HR Low.
Key Features:
Bias Panel: A table in the top-right corner showing the current market bias (Buy on Dip, Sell on Rise, or Neutral).
Displays real-time trade direction and risk information, such as stop-loss and target hints.
Dynamic Level Adjustment: As the price moves, the script dynamically updates the key levels (HR, LR, and Murrey Math lines), keeping traders aware of the most recent market structure.
Visualization Tools:
The chart is populated with a series of lines and labels that indicate the critical price levels for trading.
Support/Resistance Lines: Each key level is marked with different colors for quick recognition.
Extensions: Additional lines are plotted based on price projections, indicating where the market could potentially move.
Note:
Please note that this is an educational purpose idea, any action/trade taken will be user's own responsibility.
Enjoy!
Regards.

[TehThomas] - ICT Liquidity sweepsThe ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is designed to track liquidity zones in the market areas where stop-losses and pending orders are typically clustered. This indicator marks buyside liquidity (resistance) and sellside liquidity (support), helping traders identify areas where price is likely to manipulate liquidity before making a significant move.
This tool is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Smart Money Concepts, which emphasize how institutional traders, or “Smart Money,” manipulate liquidity to fuel price movements. By identifying these zones, traders can anticipate liquidity sweeps and position themselves accordingly.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Detects Key Liquidity Zones
The script automatically identifies significant swing highs and swing lows in price action using a pivot-based method.
A swing high (buyside liquidity) is a peak where price struggles to break higher, forming a resistance level.
A swing low (sellside liquidity) is a valley where price struggles to go lower, creating a support level.
These liquidity points are prime targets for liquidity sweeps before a true trend direction is confirmed.
2️⃣ Draws Liquidity Lines
Once a swing high or low is identified, a horizontal line is drawn at that level.
The lines extend to the right, serving as future liquidity targets until they are broken.
The indicator allows customization in terms of color, line width, and maximum number of liquidity lines displayed at once.
3️⃣ Handles Liquidity Sweeps
When price breaks a liquidity level, the indicator reacts based on the chosen action setting:
Dotted/Dashed: The line remains visible but changes style to indicate a sweep.
Delete: The line is completely removed once price has interacted with it.
This feature ensures that traders can easily spot where liquidity has been taken and determine whether a reversal or continuation is likely.
4️⃣ Prevents Chart Clutter
To maintain a clean chart, the script limits the number of liquidity lines displayed at any given time.
When new liquidity zones are formed, the oldest lines are automatically removed, keeping the focus on the most relevant liquidity zones.
🎯 How to Use the ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator
🔍 Identifying Liquidity Grabs
This indicator helps you identify areas where Smart Money is targeting liquidity before making a move.
Buyside Liquidity (BSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price spikes above a resistance level before reversing downward.
Indicate that Smart Money has hunted stop-losses and buy stops before driving price lower.
Sellside Liquidity (SSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price drops below a support level before reversing upward.
Indicate that Smart Money has collected liquidity from stop-losses and sell stops before pushing price higher.
📈 Combining with Market Structure Shifts (MSS)
One of the best ways to use this indicator is in conjunction with our Market Structure Shifts Indicator.
Liquidity sweeps + MSS Confirmation give strong high-probability trade setups:
Wait for a liquidity sweep (price takes out a liquidity level).
Look for an MSS in the opposite direction (e.g., price sweeps a high, then breaks a recent low).
Enter the trade in the new direction with stop-loss above/below the liquidity sweep.
📊 Entry & Exit Strategies
Long Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key sellside liquidity level (SSL) → creates a false breakdown.
MSS confirms a reversal (price breaks structure upwards).
Enter long position after confirmation.
Stop-loss below the liquidity grab to minimize risk.
Short Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key buyside liquidity level (BSL) → takes liquidity above resistance.
MSS confirms a bearish move (price breaks a key support level).
Enter short position after confirmation.
Stop-loss above the liquidity grab.
🚀 Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer
✅ Helps Identify Smart Money Manipulation – Understand where institutions are likely to grab liquidity before the real move happens.
✅ Enhances Market Structure Analysis – When paired with MSS, liquidity sweeps become powerful signals for trend reversals.
✅ Filters Out False Breakouts – Many traders get caught in liquidity grabs. This indicator helps avoid bad entries.
✅ Keeps Your Chart Clean – The auto-limiting feature ensures that only the most relevant liquidity levels remain visible.
✅ Works on Any Timeframe – Whether you’re a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, liquidity concepts apply universally.
📌 Final Thoughts
The ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is a must-have tool for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts. By tracking liquidity levels and highlighting sweeps, it allows traders to enter trades with precision while avoiding false breakouts.
When combined with Market Structure Shifts (MSS), this strategy becomes even more powerful, offering traders an edge in spotting reversals and timing entries effectively.

1. Using Two Charts in One Indicator with Buy and Sell Signals on Both Charts
Dual-Chart Functionality: This indicator allows you to monitor two charts simultaneously – the main chart (Options) and the underlying index chart (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, etc.).
The index chart (below the main chart) shows the underlying index movement.
The main chart displays the Options data (e.g., NIFTY options, BANKNIFTY options).
Buy/Sell Signals on Both Charts:
Buy and sell signals are generated on both the options chart and the index chart, ensuring you don’t miss any trading opportunities.
This dual-chart setup helps you correlate the movement of the index with the options data for better decision-making.
2. Works Across Major Indices (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, etc.)
Automatic Index Detection: The script automatically detects the underlying index based on the chart symbol. It supports:
NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY, SENSEX

Austin's Apex AcceleratorIndicator Name: Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Overview
The Austin’s Apex Accelerator is a highly aggressive trading indicator designed specifically for high-frequency Forex trading. It combines several technical analysis tools to identify rapid entry and exit points, making it well-suited for intraday or even lower timeframe trades. The indicator leverages a combination of exponential moving averages (EMAs), Bollinger Bands, volume filters, and volatility-adjusted ranges to detect breakout opportunities and manage risk with precision.
Core Components
Fast and Slow EMAs: The two EMAs act as trend and momentum indicators. When the shorter EMA crosses the longer EMA, it signals a change in momentum. The crossover of these EMAs often indicates a potential entry point, especially when combined with volume and volatility filters.
ATR-Based Range Filter: Using the Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic range calculation, the indicator adapts to market volatility. Higher ATR values widen the range, helping the indicator adjust for volatile conditions.
Volume Filter: A volume condition ensures that buy and sell signals only trigger when there’s significant market interest, reducing the likelihood of false signals in low-liquidity environments.
Bollinger Bands: The Bollinger Bands provide additional context for potential overbought or oversold conditions, highlighting opportunities for price reversals or trend continuations.
Key Features
Aggressive Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, confirming bullish momentum, and the volume condition is met. If the price is also near the lower Bollinger Band, it adds further confirmation of an oversold condition.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, confirming bearish momentum, with sufficient trading volume. If the price is near the upper Bollinger Band, it signals a potential overbought condition, which supports the sell signal.
Dynamic Range with ATR:
The indicator uses a volatility-based range, derived from the ATR, to adjust the signal sensitivity based on recent price fluctuations. This dynamic range ensures that signals are responsive in both high and low volatility conditions.
The range’s upper and lower bands act as thresholds, with trades often occurring when the price breaches these levels, signaling momentum shifts or trend reversals.
Trend Background Color:
A green background highlights bullish trends when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
A red background signifies bearish trends when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, providing a visual indication of the overall market trend direction.
Trend Line:
The indicator plots a dynamic trend line that changes color based on the price's relationship to the EMAs, helping traders quickly assess the current trend’s strength and direction.
Alerts:
The indicator includes configurable alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to be notified of entry opportunities without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
How to Use Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Identify Entry Points:
Buy Entry: When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, a buy signal is triggered. Confirm this signal by checking if the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band (indicating an oversold condition) and if trading volume meets the set threshold.
Sell Entry: When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, a sell signal is triggered. Confirm the signal by ensuring the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band (suggesting an overbought condition) and that volume is sufficient.
Exit Strategy:
Take Profit: The take profit level is calculated as 1.5 times the ATR from the entry point. This ensures that each trade aims to achieve a positive risk/reward ratio.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is set at 1 ATR from the entry, providing a tight risk control mechanism that limits potential losses on each trade.
Trend Identification and Background Colors:
Use the background colors to assess the trend direction. A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background suggests a bearish trend. These colors can help you filter signals that go against the trend, increasing the chances of a successful trade.
Volume Confirmation:
This indicator has an inbuilt volume filter to prevent trading in low-volume conditions. Look for signals only when volume exceeds the average volume threshold, which is set by the multiplier. This helps avoid trading during quieter times when false signals are more likely.
Alerts:
Set up alerts for buy and sell signals to be notified in real-time whenever a new trading opportunity arises, so you can act on high-quality signals promptly.
Practical Tips for Using Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Timeframe: Best suited for short timeframes such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts for high-frequency trading.
Profit & Risk CalculatorThe "Profit & Risk Calculator" script in Pine Script (TradingView) is designed to help users calculate potential profit and risk when trading, and to provide alerts when specific price levels are reached (such as entry price, take profit, or stop loss). It includes several components as described below:
1. Input Fields:
The user can manually input various prices: entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price, with steps of 0.25.
There is also an option to input a custom value (e.g., for personal lot sizing) and a total investment amount.
2. Dynamic Lines:
The script draws dynamic horizontal lines for the input prices: entry line (white), stop loss line (red), and take profit line (green).
These lines are automatically updated based on the entered price levels.
3. Labels for the Lines:
Labels are added to the lines to visually indicate the entry, stop loss, and take profit levels on the chart.
4. Long and Short Position Calculations:
The script calculates potential profit and loss for both long (profit if the price goes up) and short (profit if the price goes down) positions.
It also calculates the distance between entry and take profit, and distance between entry and stop loss, along with the risk/reward ratio (RR).
5. Alerts:
The script generates alerts when one of the following conditions is met:
Entry Condition: The price touches or exceeds the entry price (high >= entryPrice).
Stop Loss Condition: The price touches or drops below the stop loss price (low <= stopLossPrice).
Take Profit Condition: The price touches or exceeds the take profit price (high >= takeProfitPrice).
6. Lot Calculations:
The script calculates both micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and the custom value.
The results are displayed in a table on the chart.
7. Profit/Risk Table:
The script shows two tables:
One table calculates the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the input entry price.
A second table shows the same calculations based on the current price.
8. Chart Display:
The script places tables and other visual data on the chart, such as preset values, profit and loss calculations, and the distance from take profit and stop loss to the entry price.
English Explanation of Each Part of the Script
1. Input Fields
The script starts with several input fields where the user can specify the entry price, stop loss price, take profit price, custom value, and investment amount. These values help define the parameters for risk/reward calculations.
2. Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart, representing the entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price. These lines update dynamically based on user input.
3. Dynamic Line Updates
As the user adjusts their inputs, the position of the lines is updated in real-time to match the new price levels. This keeps the chart visually accurate.
4. Labels for Lines
Labels are placed on the chart next to each price line, allowing the user to clearly see which line represents which price level.
5. Long and Short Position Calculations
The script calculates the potential profit or loss for both long (prices go up) and short (prices go down) positions, providing users with an idea of their potential gains or losses.
6. **6. Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation
This calculates the Risk/Reward Ratio (RR) by dividing the distance between the take profit and entry price by the distance between the entry and stop loss price. This gives the trader an idea of how much risk they're taking relative to the potential reward.
7. Alert Conditions
The alert conditions are defined based on the price hitting the set levels:
Entry Condition: If the price goes up and touches the entry level, the alert is triggered.
Stop Loss Condition: If the price drops and hits the stop loss level, the alert is triggered.
Take Profit Condition: If the price rises and reaches the take profit level, the alert is triggered.
8. Alert Configuration
Each condition is linked to an alert that sends a message when the specific price level is touched. The alerts notify the user when the entry, stop loss, or take profit levels are hit.
9. Lot Calculations
The script includes a function that calculates micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and a custom value input by the user. This is useful for adjusting lot sizes to the desired amount and determining position sizes for trades.
10. Entry Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
A table is generated on the chart that displays detailed information about the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the entry price. It helps traders see the potential outcomes for different lot sizes.
11. Current Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
This second table provides similar information as the first but calculates profit, loss, and risk/reward based on the current price. This allows the trader to see how their position performs as the market price changes in real time.
G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics v1OVERVIEW:
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics indicator system enables users to discover unorthodox indicator patterns, reading price charts in unusual ways, thus gaining an edge over the majority of market participants they trade against.
CONCEPTS:
Th G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is a system that aims to satisfy the fundamental condition for successful online trading - providing an edge.
It's a battle between advantages. To take other people's money, successful traders must have an advantage over everybody else. To hope for consistent success in trading, you need to do things differently and see what almost nobody else sees. Of course then you must act on it, and that's where the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostic's mandate ends.
I believe the vast majority of indicators out there show you what everybody else sees. I've always been an indicator guy, I respect and cherish most indicators and I know a good indicator when I see it.
However, although most indicators are great works of art, their practicality is in most cases doubtful. Presenting great information is one thing, but providing an edge over the people you trade against is something different.
What Everybody Else Sees
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is based on indicators most of you have probably heard of and used:
Moving Averages (particularly the Kaufman Moving Average, among others)
ADX and DI
Bollinger Bands
Stochastic (particularly the Stochastic RSI)
Most traders should be well familiar with these classic indicators, they've provided the basis for online indicator trading for decades. But it's also true that due to how popular online trading has become all over the world, one is more and more unable to use these indicators successfully on lower timeframes.
Usually, more noteworthy success is achieved by going up in scale and discovering the timeframe where a particular indicator produces no false signals. Often times these timeframes range from bi-weekly to multi-month scale. In other words, consistently successful low timeframe trading and scalp trading in particular are now almost impossible using indicators.
Traders that dominate the scalping arena are big professional/institutional groups of traders, who have systematic access to the order books of most exchanges. This can be achieved one way or another, but not by individuals, small groups without significant capital or simply traders who lack political/social power and influence in the trading field.
In other words - giant order book traders have an edge over everybody else, who use indicators to trade on lower timeframes.
Through a series of interventions into these classical indicators, the G.O.A.T. System brings them back into the lower timeframe competitive game. Most original formulas are preserved, but these immortal classics are applied in ways popular TA would consider unorthodox.
Ingenious Indicators Built by Creators
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics relies on the fundamental work of others. The System is developed on the basis of:
Quadratic Kernel Regression - it uses the publicly published library of Justin Dehorty: www.tradingview.com
PMARP - Price Moving Average Ratio & Percentile, publicly published by "The_Caretaker": www.tradingview.com
These Creators deserve full credit for their fundamental work and are endorsed by the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics project.
And yet... ingenious and inspired as these tools are, in my humble opinion the general public is presented with a rather unproductive way to apply them. In my own view, these wonderful tools built by JDehorty and The_Caretaker have a massive potential should they be applied and wielded in a different direction. So I tried to bring my vision about them into flesh with the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
What the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics Is and How to Use It
It's a System for new pattern discovery, bringing the disciplines of pattern and indicator trading together.
By using it as a stand-alone, or mixing it with other great indicators, one is able to discover new indicator patterns. Patterns can be compared, matched together and categorized. By applying statistics to differentiated historical pattern groups, we're able to derive their meaning.
Thus, the trader is able to research their own "alphabet" to read the price charts. After categorizing and differentiating pattern groups with statistically predominant meaning, the trader is then able to read into longer scenarios - price set-ups that are harder to detect due to them being stretched in time or misshapen according to the particular situation.
The G.O.A.T. Scalper leverages and encourages group trading, as different traders will probably discover different price "alphabets" for themselves, potentially giving rise to a social economy of sharing and combining "trading languages" based on indicator patterns people have discovered via the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
Support/Resistance Trading
The G.O.A.T. Scalper has its own way of deriving Support/Resistance.
Unlike most existing S/R indicators, The Scalper derives Support/Resistance not by measuring price highs, lows and closes, but solely by using momentum and trend strength.
This seems like a much more versatile way to plot S/R during scalping on low timeframes where time is of essence and the trader's view is too narrow to have macro S/R levels in constant consideration.
The Scalper's way to derive S/R in real time and on the go, while staying very relative to important higher timeframe S/R zones, makes it much more desirable than any other S/R indicator I've thus far encountered.
All S/R functionality is derived from the classical ADX and DI indicator. To do this, I use the ADX and DI in an unpopular way. To generate the actual plot of S/R levels I also modify the indicator's code, not by removing functional parts from it, but adding more to it in order to filter the signals it produces.
I can metaphorically describe its action in the following way:
Imagine you're Price action itself;
You're walking through a labyrinth or corridors. You're walking through one straight corridor, and it has a crossing with another corridor ahead;
Very strong wind is blowing along that other corridor. You can't see the wind, but when you reach it and try to move past it, the force of the wind resists your moving ahead and instead pushes you sideways.
At this point, the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics already knows this can only be one thing - resistance.
Orthodox TA and trading demand retests. In my opinion, this deeply rooted tradition wastes time proving the obvious, then wastes time again double-proving the validity of recent past, while scalping opportunities go to waste. Modern successful traders are way ahead of the popular strategy of testing and retesting S/R that almost every trader uses. So-called "Stops hunting" is just one expression of this situation, where wide adoption of the S/R retesting strategy actually lures unsuccessful traders into the schemes of the successful few.
In my own way of trading, I use the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics to take action on Support/Resistance as it's plotted in real time.
But probably my biggest heresy into the DI is my opinion, that the crossings of the +DI and -DI are useless and should actually be discarded.
My research shows that the DIs often show indications of being "oversold", but don't seem to exhibit an "overbought" state. Statistically, I've had much more success basing my TA on that, rather than cross-ups and cross-downs of the DI plot lines.
Therefore I discarded these crossings by presenting the DI part of the ADX and DI as a Heatmap channel rather than crossing lines.
To further enhance the ability of the System to provide S/R analysis, I plot this Heatmap onto an adjustable price offset plots (a percentage above and below current price).
In modern times, the vast majority of trading is done by automatic machines and algorithms. To give a specific example, one can easily notice, that a 5% offset of the BTC 1h price plot leads to remarkably accurate S/R charting. Following the rule to chart a S/R line connecting highs and lows on the 5% price offset often successfully "foresees" valid S/R zones before price ever visits them. Or, the levels were visited so far back in the timeframe's history that orthodox understanding considers them "invalidated" or washed away in the noise of the relevant volume profile.
My explanation for this is simple - I think Grid bots now dominate automatic trading across the majority of exchanges.
In my understanding, by adjusting the percentage offset of current price action I can often discover relevant conglomerations of dominating Grid bot cell parameters and anticipate price reaction. By plotting the DI heatmap on these price action offsets I can use the indicator for my trading decisions.
Heatmaps
Every heatmap produces different series of data. They're not the same.
Bollinger Band heatmap depicts the percentile distance between the Band's extremes.
The price candles heatmap, and the KAMA moving average heatmap, depict the percentile distance between price and the KAMA. So, it's the same thing. However, the percentile of that distance is calculated in two different ways, hence the difference in color in every particular moment. This color discrepancy aims to visualize the "strain" between price action and KAMA, like a soft and hard "springs" that go in unison with each other in sustainable moves, and in dissonance with each other during unsustainable moves.
Price offset heatmap depicts the percentile average of the +DI (above price) and the -DI (below price). A Hot temperature above price and a Cold temperature below price would mean a strong bullish sentiment, and vise versa, while Green would mean neutrality in sentiment.
There are important interplays between different heatmaps. For example, although representing totally different things, a Teal price bar would almost always (according to historical statistics) foreshadow a change in DI's heatmap sentiment. That's just one avenue of correlation between S/R analysis and sentiment analysis using the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
Oscillator Chart
In terms of applying Quadratic Kernel Regression, I endorse the natural principle that no center can exist without a periphery, and no periphery can exist without a center. Therefore I try to pay attention not only to the average of the regression's values, but also to the cloud of data points itself.
Following this understanding, I attempt to depict the natural cycles of price converging/diverging towards/from its regression average. To do this, I apply the classic Stochastic formula.
Thus, the Oscillator part of the System depicts the following:
Thin heatmap line displays the cycles of price converging with its quadratic kernel regression average (moving down), and diverging with its regression average (moving up). Its heatmap depicts the percentile of this oscillation.
The wider heatmap line displays the KAMA's cycles of convergence/divergence with its own quadratic kernel regression average. The reason for this is again creating discrepancy - while KAMA is based on price action, its regression data values differ from those of price action's regression. This discrepancy produces useful historic patterns that can be studied statistically.
The thin and wide purple oscillator lines depict the change of slope of price action regression average and KAMA regression average, respectively. Very often change of slope is not detectable with the naked eye, but clearly indicated by the oscillators.
By combining all these elements into a single analysis, a trader can detect hidden trends that are yet to become visible for the rest of market participants.
For example, convergence of price with its quadratic kernel regression average while the slope of the average deteriorates down in most cases (according to statistics) means a sideways consolidation in a downtrend before downtrend continuation. Conversely, deviation of price action from its regression average while the regression average slope deteriorates down usually marks the very beginning of a downtrend.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are not modified, but are based on quadratic kernel regression values. Thus, if Bollinger Bands themselves are indicative of volatility, then based on kernel regression values, they should indicate the volatility of change of values in the regression's window.
Again, applying it to both the price and KAMA regression data series, a discrepancy is highlighted that leads to useful historical patterns subject to analysis and categorization.
SOME EXAMPLES
Support / Resistance
Support/Resistance levels are market by White Triangles with dotted lines plotted from them, in real time. The indicator plots Ghost Triangles in anticipation of Support/Resistance, preparing the trader for the eventual confirmation of a zone of interest and signaling price is feeling Support or Resistance pressure.
Dialing the length of the S/R lines to 25 makes the indicator more useful.
Dialing the setting to 500 clearly shows macro S/R zones by conglomerating and bundling individual lines. The thicker the bundling and the confluence of lines, the more significant the zone.
Thus lower timeframe scalping and trading is made more easy, without the need to do nearly as much manual S/R charting. Support/Resistance analysis and plotting is entirely based on a modified ADX.
Heatmap
Sustainable moves are generally marked by Green price color and calm KAMA colors.
Unsustainable moves are usually marked by more extreme colors of price bars and KAMA. Red usually means price is unsustainably distanced from the KAMA, while deep Blue usually means price is undesirably close to the KAMA, foreshadowing a directional distancing.
Usually Teal color of price bars and KAMA foreshadow a change of sentiment of the outside Heatmap sentiment channel.
Red color of the outside channel always signals the direction of the desired sentimental movement, while Blue signals the extent at which the counter-element suffers. Thus, one side being Green, while the other is Blue, often means the Blue will soon evolve into a warmer color, attracting price in that direction. Outside Heatmap channel is entirely based on a modified DI.
Oscillator Chart
An example of Chart Diagnosis using the Oscillator and other elements of the G.O.A.T. Scalper:
First (far left), a Resistance is plotted. This coincides with price bars being Red (distressed state). The thin colorful Oscillator line takes an Up-turn, signifying a period of price moving away from its Quadratic Kernel Regression (pink moving average).
After Price cools down to Green sustainable colors, a Support is plotted. During this time, the thin colorful line is falling down, signifying a period when the distance between price action and its quadratic kernel regression average is decreasing.
During this phase, the thin purple Oscillator line goes up. This signifies the slope of the price regression is restoring to the upside.
Next, the thin colorful line starts going up again, signifying another period of price getting further away from its regression average. This time to the upside.
Resistance is being broken and new support is established. At this point, the thin colorful line starts falling again, signifying distance between price and its regression MA is shortening. This is clearly visible as a sideways consolidation (with a slight tilt up of slope).
A moment comes when all lines - the price and KAMA lines, and price and KAMA regression slopes, all point down. A new down period is clearly starting. This is further indicated by Teal price bars and new Resistance forming. Notice how the external heatmap channel goes into more balanced Green colors with trend enthusiasm calming down.
This analysis may appear to be overwhelming and confusing at first, as these metrics are unorthodox and unpopular. But different aspects of the indicator can be toggled ON/OFF to single them out, which makes observations much simpler for new users. After some time spent discovering personal patterns, or reviewing other users' catalogues with already published pattern libraries, it soon becomes easy to read charts in this new way.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands provide another way to produce patterns that give users specific chart information.
One noteworthy indication is when the price and KAMA Bollinger Bands separate their value zones. Since the zones of these Bands are based on the kernel regression values of the respective sources, their separation is significant and too often means violent reversals or violent continuations (which usually can be judged using the other metrics the System provides, or additional indicators of choice).
Another noteworthy Bollinger Band pattern is when price action leaves a prolonged trending move.
First phase of the end of a prolonged trending move is the BB zones expanding and doing a significant overlap.
Second stage is price getting reaccepted in the Price BB. This however doesn't mean reacceptance in the KAMA BB and if the moment isn't right, usually leads to bounces and continuations.
The KAMA needs to "make space" for price to get reaccepted into the KAMA BB. While the KAMA is outside its BB or very near to its wall, price reacceptance into it is not very probable. When KAMA withdraws from its BB wall, opening an "entrance on its membrane", that's when price is eligible to get reaccepted into the KAMA BB. That's usually the moment the long awaited consolidation starts and a long trending move is over.
Users of the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics can discover many more patterns and correlations between patterns within the System. But the System itself can multiply all possible patterns when inspected in the context of additional indicators, leading to vast possibilities of signal and pattern discovery with huge potential.
A very good idea would probably be to use the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics together with the Ichimoku.
Ichimoku has always been famous for its genius simplicity and elegant profoundness, but notorious for its total lack of accuracy, as well as general uselessness on lower timeframes. The G.O.A.T. System has the potential to enhance all of Ichimoku's strengths and cure its weaknesses.
Yet another good idea may be to pair it with kindred indicators, like the Gaussian Channel, which has a stunning performance, but suffers from too high level of generalization. The Diagnostics can provide the intricate texture of price manoeuvres the Gaussian Channel fails to register, while the GC can give the Scalper even more solid context for its patterns.
The worthwhile possibilities seem endless...
Entry Table
I've added a little Entry Table at the bottom right corner. It's designed to potentially help scalpers trade faster, and to visualize a potential trade they're thinking about before they execute it. A Stop Loss is visually plotted in real time to better visualize it's placement in the chart context.
It encourages responsible risk management in its settings:
The user enters the amount of their trading portfolio;
Then specify the percentage of their portfolio they're willing to risk at every trade;
After that the user can chose to specify a flat percentage Stop Loss.
The table will calculate the size of the entry of a market order, so the user only risks the specified percentage of their portfolio should the specified Stop Loss level is hit.
There's also the option to use automatically suggested Stop Loss, based on recent volatility. The actual Stop Loss is calculated 20% away from the actual volatility level, to better protect from unforeseen wicks.
In the current example, the user with a $1000 trading portfolio has to do a $1000 entry to lose 1% of their portfolio ($10) at a 1% Stop Loss.
But the user has to do a $2,525 entry in order to lose 1% of their portfolio (%10) at a much closer Stop Loss which is less than 1%, based on recent volatility.
The Entry Table should be considered as a cosmetic convenience and not a dedicated risk management tool.
CONCLUSION:
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is an indicator System, based on popular, but modified and tweaked versions of indicators like the ADX and DI, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands and MAs. It also leverages the remarkable work of inspired creators: JDehorty's Quadratic Kernel Regression library, and The_Caretaker's PMARP .
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics indicator system enables users to discover so-called new "indicator-pattern alphabets", reading price charts in new and unorthodox ways, thus gaining an edge over the majority of market participants they trade against.
The high degree of freedom when discovering new patterns, either within the System itself or correlating its output to external auxiliary indicators, highlights the System's potential for original discoveries leading to highly personalized trading strategies. Exchanging information about personal pattern libraries can potentially also give birth to new private trading communities.

You will see indicated by the blue arrows on the above graph the entry or ‘buy’ signals. The signal is represented by an orange box and clearly states ‘Buy Signal’ inside it. You are also provided with the close price of the bar for which the entry/buy value should be.
Sell Signal
The sell signal will look at the market and detect changes within the trend. There are multiple tools that are used to determine the best time to exit/sell the trade. Our advanced algorithm continually monitors the current action and will determine the most desirable time to display a sell signal box which is blue in colour. This signal will be shown directly on the chart.
Indicated in blue arrows you will see the sell signals. Each signal has four values:
Type of Signal
The current close price of the current bar
The percentage change from the original corresponding buy signal
The previous buy signal’s close price
The indicator will look at many factors when determining if you should exit a trade. Look at the image below and you can see a typical buy and sell signal combination:
The bottom blue arrow indicates your entry or “buy” trade and the top blue arrow indicates your exit or “sell” trade. As you can see you would have entered/bought at 185.76 and exited/sold at 186.895 with a 0.61% margin.
Here is another example:
Hold Asset / Stop Loss
If the market moves to the downside after you have entered a trade then the indicator will track this. Our analysis may determine that the market may continue to fall or that simply the conditions are no longer favourable. Under these circumstances the indicator will flag for you to Hold Asset / Stop Loss. You can then make a decision if you want to hold onto your asset or sell it at a loss.
If you look on the chart below you can see an example of these signals plotted on the chart indicated by the blue arrow.
Alert Management
There are 3 alerts that are fixed. They are:
Buy Signal
Sell Signal
Hold Asset / Stop Loss
You can select which alert you would like to trigger from the standard trading view alert management page. For all buying you would select “Buy Signal” for all selling/take profit you would select “Sell Signal” and for holding the asset (maybe to set a limit order) or to sell the asset at a loss (stop loss), you would choose “Hold Asset / Stop Loss”.
Best Utilization of Our Indicator with Lower Time Frames
Our indicator is specifically designed to excel in short-term trading environments, making it the perfect tool for scalping strategies. For optimal performance, it is best utilized with time frames under 5 minutes . Here’s why our indicator is tailored for lower time frames and not suitable for long-term signalling:
1. Scalping Focus:
o Scalping involves making numerous trades throughout the trading session to capture small price movements. Our indicator is engineered to identify these quick, short-term opportunities, making it ideal for time frames of 3 minutes and under.
2. Rapid Signal Generation:
o Lower time frames generate more data points in a shorter period, allowing our indicator to provide rapid buy and sell signals. This frequency is crucial for scalpers who need to react quickly to market changes.
3. Minimized Market Noise:
o While lower time frames can be more volatile, our indicator includes filters to minimize market noise and focus on significant trading signals. This feature ensures that you receive reliable signals even in fast-paced trading environments.
Suitable Markets
This indicator is versatile and suitable for all markets, offering comprehensive analysis and reliable signals for various trading environments. Its advanced features and customizable settings ensure optimal performance across different market conditions, making it an essential tool for traders in any market.
Strategies
This indicator is ideal for both scalping whilst taking long positions, providing precise, timely signals for short-term trades while also identifying strong trends. Its versatility and advanced features make it a valuable tool for traders with diverse strategies.
What makes our indicator different?
Our indicator incorporates predefined parameters tailored to identify opportunities within a long strategy, rendering this indicator particularly advantageous for traders focused on long positions. Upon identifying a buy position, the indicator issues a buy signal and subsequently initiates asset tracking. A sell signal is generated only when the indicator identifies substantial uncertainty regarding the continuation of the upward trend. Its simple to use.
Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.
Enhanced Forex IndicatorDescription of the "Enhanced Forex Indicator"
The "Enhanced Forex Indicator" is designed for traders who want a comprehensive technical analysis tool on the TradingView platform. This script integrates Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), support and resistance zones, and candlestick pattern recognition to provide actionable trading signals, particularly useful for Forex and other financial markets. The script is suitable for intraday trading and swing trading.
Components of the Indicator
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA (Blue Line): Faster responding average, good for identifying recent trend changes.
Long EMA (Red Line): Slower moving average, helps in confirming longer-term trends.
Support and Resistance Zones:
Resistance Zone (Red): Area where potential selling pressure could overcome buying pressure, halting price increases temporarily or reversing them.
Support Zone (Green): Area where potential buying pressure could overcome selling pressure, supporting prices and preventing them from falling further.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Triangle Up 'BE'): Suggests a potential upward reversal or start of a bullish trend.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Triangle Down 'BE'): Indicates a potential downward reversal or start of a bearish trend.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal (Green Label 'BUY'): Triggered when the price is above both EMAs and a bullish engulfing pattern is detected.
Sell Signal (Red Label 'SELL'): Triggered when the price is below both EMAs and a bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Trading Setup:
Entry: Consider entering a buy position when the 'BUY' signal appears, indicating bullish conditions. Enter a sell position when the 'SELL' signal appears, indicating bearish conditions.
Exit: Look for closing signals opposite your entry or use predefined take profit and stop loss levels. For instance, exit a buy position on a 'SELL' signal or when the price drops below the support zone.
Risk Management:
Set stop losses just below the support zone for buy orders and above the resistance zone for sell orders to protect against significant losses.
Adjust position sizes according to your risk tolerance and account balance.
Considerations:
Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis tools and fundamental data to confirm signals and strengthen your trading strategy.
Periodically backtest the strategy based on this indicator to ensure its effectiveness in current market conditions.
Optimization:
Adjust the lengths of the EMAs and the buffer size of the support and resistance zones to better fit the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
