Trapped Traders Order BlocksHow It Works
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator identifies specific price action patterns that suggest large market participants ("big money") have been trapped in losing positions after significant price sweeps, creating potential opportunities for reversals. The indicator detects both "bullish trap blocks" (where bearish traders are trapped) and "bearish trap blocks" (where bullish traders are trapped). Here’s the step-by-step process for each:
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A bearish candle (Candle A) must sweep the high of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its high exceeds the high of the prior candle.
This bearish candle must have a longer upper wick than its lower wick, indicating rejection of higher prices.
The candle must not be a doji (i.e., it must have a significant body, defined as the body being at least 10% of the candle's range).
The next candle (Candle C) must close above the body of the bearish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bearish sweep, potentially trapping bearish traders who entered short positions expecting a downward move.
The body of the bearish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bullish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bullish Trap") is placed below it.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A bullish candle (Candle A) must sweep the low of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its low is below the low of the prior candle.
This bullish candle must have a longer lower wick than its upper wick, indicating rejection of lower prices.
The candle must not be a doji.
The next candle (Candle C) must close below the body of the bullish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bullish sweep, potentially trapping bullish traders who entered long positions expecting an upward move.
The body of the bullish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bearish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bearish Trap") is placed above it.
Dynamic Box Extension:
For both bullish and bearish trap blocks, the box extends dynamically to the current bar unless it exceeds a user-defined age (default is 52 bars), at which point it stops at the maximum age.
Sweep Detection:
Bullish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is above the top of the box.
The low is below the top of the box.
The close is above the top of the box.
The lower wick is longer than the upper wick (indicating rejection of lower prices).
The close is above 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bullish bias).
When a bullish sweep occurs, a label ("Bullish Sweep") is placed at the low of the candle, pointing upward, and an alert is triggered.
Bearish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is below the bottom of the box.
The high is above the bottom of the box.
The close is below the bottom of the box.
The upper wick is longer than the lower wick (indicating rejection of higher prices).
The close is below 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bearish bias).
When a bearish sweep occurs, a label ("Bearish Sweep") is placed at the high of the candle, pointing downward, and an alert is triggered.
When to Be Used
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is best used in the following scenarios:
Reversal Trading:
Use this indicator to identify potential reversal points in the market. Bullish trap blocks suggest that trapped bears may unwind their short positions, leading to a potential bullish move. Bearish trap blocks suggest that trapped bulls may unwind their long positions, leading to a potential bearish move.
Look for sweeps of these blocks as confirmation of a directional move. A bullish sweep indicates a potential upward move, while a bearish sweep indicates a potential downward move.
Range-Bound Markets:
In sideways or ranging markets, trapped blocks can highlight key levels where large players have been caught off-guard. These levels often act as support or resistance, and a sweep of the block can signal a breakout or continuation in the direction of the sweep.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
Combine the trapped blocks with other technical analysis tools, such as support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis, to increase the probability of a successful trade. For example, a bullish trap block near a strong support level with a bullish sweep can provide a high-probability setup for a long position, while a bearish trap block near a strong resistance level with a bearish sweep can signal a short opportunity.
Timeframes:
The indicator is most effective on higher timeframes such as 1-day (1D), 1-week (1W), and 1-month (1M) charts. These timeframes are more likely to capture significant moves involving large market participants, reducing noise and false signals compared to lower timeframes. While it can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), the signals may be less reliable due to increased market noise.
Logic Behind It
The logic behind the Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is rooted in market psychology and the behavior of large market participants ("big money"). When a large sweep candle occurs where price spikes in one direction but then quickly reverses it often indicates that traders have entered positions in the direction of the sweep, expecting a continuation. However, if the price immediately moves against them, these traders are now trapped in losing positions.
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A large bearish sweep candle (spiking upward but closing lower) suggests that bearish traders (bears) have entered short positions at the top of the move, expecting a downward continuation. If the next candle closes above the bearish candle's body, these bears are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bearish candle becomes a "bullish trap block" because the trapped bears are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just above the high of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by buying back their shorts, which can drive the price higher. This unwinding process often attracts new buyers, leading to a potential bullish reversal or continuation.
The bullish sweep conditions (e.g., close > box top, longer lower wick, and close above 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bullish momentum and rejection of lower prices, confirming the potential for a move higher.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A large bullish sweep candle (spiking downward but closing higher) suggests that bullish traders (bulls) have entered long positions at the bottom of the move, expecting an upward continuation. If the next candle closes below the bullish candle's body, these bulls are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bullish candle becomes a "bearish trap block" because the trapped bulls are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just below the low of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by selling their longs, which can drive the price lower. This unwinding process often attracts new sellers, leading to a potential bearish reversal or continuation.
The bearish sweep conditions (e.g., close < box bottom, longer upper wick, and close below 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bearish momentum and rejection of higher prices, confirming the potential for a move lower.
Summary
Bullish Trap Block: Occurs when bears get trapped after a bearish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal as trapped bears may unwind their positions.
Bearish Trap Block: Occurs when bulls get trapped after a bullish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bearish candle, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
Use Case: Ideal for identifying reversal opportunities, especially in range-bound markets or at key support/resistance levels on higher timeframes like 1D, 1W, and 1M, and can be combined with other indicators for confluence.
Logic: Large sweep candles followed by an immediate reversal suggest that big money has been trapped, and these traders may unwind their positions at break-even in the near future, driving price in the opposite direction of their initial trade.
This indicator provides a visual and actionable way to identify these trapped trader scenarios, with customizable settings for box display, sweep visuals, and alerts to help traders capitalize on these opportunities, particularly on higher timeframes where the signals are most reliable.

Dynamic Breakout Master by tradingbauhaus 🌟 Code Description:
This Pine Script implements a trading strategy called "Dynamic Breakout Master" 💥. The core idea of the strategy is to identify breakouts (price movements) at key support 💙 and resistance 🔴 levels, through a dynamic channel that adapts to the market’s conditions. Here's how it works:
🔧 Customizable Input Parameters:
🧭 Pivot Period: This defines the number of bars (candles) to the left and right used to detect pivots (highs and lows) that mark the support and resistance zones.
📊 Data Source: You can choose whether to use highs and lows or closes and opens of the candles to identify the pivots.
📏 Max Channel Width: Specifies the maximum width allowed for the support/resistance channel, expressed as a percentage over the last 300 bars.
💪 Minimum Pivot Strength: This defines the minimum number of pivots needed for a support or resistance level to be considered valid.
🏔 Max Support/Resistance Zones: Limits the number of key zones displayed on the chart.
📅 Lookback Period: Adjusts how many bars back the system should check to find and validate support and resistance levels.
🎨 Custom Colors: You can choose colors for the support, resistance, and in-channel zones.
📉 Moving Averages (MA): The strategy allows adding up to two moving averages (SMA or EMA) to assist in making trading decisions.
📊 Calculating Support/Resistance Levels:
The system uses an algorithm to identify pivots from prices and calculates dynamic support and resistance zones 🔒🔓.
The closer the pivots are and the stronger their influence, the more relevant the zone becomes for the strategy.
The dynamic channel is drawn on the chart, with a maximum width limit for these zones defined by the input parameter.
📈 Trading Logic:
🚀 Identifying Breakouts:
The strategy looks for when the price breaks (breakouts) a resistance or support level.
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a buy order 📈 is triggered.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a sell order 📉 is triggered.
🔔 Alerts:
Resistance Break (ResBreak) and Support Break (SupBreak) alerts are configured to notify users when a significant breakout occurs.
💰 Commissions:
The strategy includes a commission (0.1%) to simulate transaction costs for each trade.
📊 Chart Visualization:
The support and resistance zones are displayed as colored rectangles:
🔴 Resistance (red) and
🔵 Support (blue).
Pivots of support and resistance can be labeled as P (for resistance) and V (for support).
Breakouts of support or resistance levels are marked with triangles that appear on the chart 🔺🔻.
📈 Trading Strategy:
If the price breaks upward through the resistance level, a long position (buy) 📈 is opened.
If the price breaks downward through the support level, a short position (sell) 📉 is opened.
🏆 Conclusion:
This script is a dynamic breakout strategy 💥 that allows traders to capture significant price movements when support or resistance channels break. The customizable parameters let users fine-tune the strategy according to their preferences, while the visual alerts on the chart make it easier to follow trading opportunities. The inclusion of moving averages and key price zones adds an extra layer of analysis to improve decision-making 💡.
Color Code OverlayColor Code Overlay Indicator
The Color Code Overlay indicator is designed to provide a dynamic visualization of price action using color-coded candles. This overlay highlights trend reversals and bullish/bearish conditions by utilizing a custom candle calculation and the Average True Range (ATR) percentage threshold to detect significant price changes.
Key Features:
Custom Candle Calculation:
The Color Code Overlay is based on a modified candlestick calculation that takes the average of the open, high, low, and close prices to determine the candle’s close value. The open value is derived from the midpoint of the current candle's open and close or the previous Color Code Overlay close. The high and low values are based on the highest and lowest prices between the open, close, and the actual market high/low.
Color-Coding:
Green: The candle is colored green when the close is higher than the open, indicating a bullish trend.
Red: The candle is colored red when the close is lower than the open, indicating a bearish trend.
Color Change Detection:
The indicator detects significant color changes, signaling trend reversals. The transitions are determined based on the following conditions:
A bullish to bearish change (green to red) is identified when the current candle's close is lower than the open, and the price difference exceeds 1% of the candle's range (calculated using the current candle's high and low).
A bearish to bullish change (red to green) occurs when the current candle’s close is higher than the open, and the price difference also exceeds 1% of the candle's range.
Threshold Calculation:
The dynamic threshold for detecting significant price changes is based on the ATR percentage of the candle's range. By default, the indicator uses 1% of the range for detecting meaningful price movement. This ensures that only substantial changes trigger the color shifts, providing clear signals for potential trend reversals or market momentum.
Arrows for Color Changes:
A red triangle down is plotted above the bar when the color changes from green to red (bullish to bearish).
A green triangle up is plotted below the bar when the color changes from red to green (bearish to bullish).
Alerts:
The indicator includes alert conditions that notify you when:
The price is bullish (green candle).
The price is bearish (red candle).
There is a change from green to red (bullish to bearish).
There is a change from red to green (bearish to bullish).
How It Works:
The Color Code Overlay dynamically calculates the candle values based on market data and applies the ATR-based threshold to identify color changes. A shift from bullish to bearish or vice versa is only triggered when the price moves significantly beyond the calculated threshold, helping to avoid false signals from minor price fluctuations.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to spot trend reversals and significant market shifts with a clear, color-coded visual representation of price action. The Color Code Overlay can be used alongside other technical indicators to enhance decision-making and improve trading strategies.
[SHORT ONLY] Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Consecutive Bars Above MA Strategy" is a contrarian trading system aimed at exploiting overextended bullish moves in stocks and ETFs. It monitors the number of consecutive bars that close above a chosen short-term moving average (which can be either a Simple Moving Average or an Exponential Moving Average). Once the count reaches a preset threshold and the current bar’s close exceeds the previous bar’s high within a designated trading window, a short entry is initiated. An optional EMA filter further refines entries by requiring that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, helping to ensure that trades are taken in a bearish environment.
█ HOW ARE THE CONSECUTIVE BULLISH COUNTS CALCULATED?
The strategy utilizes a counter variable, `bullCount`, to track consecutive bullish bars based on their relation to the short-term moving average. Here’s how the count is determined:
Initialize the Counter
The counter is initialized at the start:
var int bullCount = na
Bullish Bar Detection
For each bar, if the close is above the selected moving average (either SMA or EMA, based on user input), the counter is incremented:
bullCount := close > signalMa ? (na(bullCount) ? 1 : bullCount + 1) : 0
Reset on Non-Bullish Condition
If the close does not exceed the moving average, the counter resets to zero, indicating a break in the consecutive bullish streak.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A short signal is generated when:
The number of consecutive bullish bars (i.e., bars closing above the short-term MA) meets or exceeds the defined threshold (default: 3).
The current bar’s close is higher than the previous bar’s high.
The signal occurs within the specified trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
Additionally, if the EMA filter is enabled, the entry is only executed when the current close is below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit signal is triggered when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low, prompting the strategy to close the short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Threshold: The number of consecutive bullish bars required to trigger a short entry (default is 3).
Trading Window: The Start Time and End Time inputs define when the strategy is active.
Moving Average Settings: Choose between SMA and EMA, and set the MA length (default is 5), which is used to assess each bar’s bullish condition.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, this filter requires that the current close is below the 200-period EMA, supporting entries in a downtrend.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for stocks and ETFs and can be applied across various timeframes.
It seeks to capture mean reversion by shorting after a series of bullish bars suggests an overextended move.
The approach employs a contrarian short entry by waiting for a breakout (close > previous high) following consecutive bullish bars.
The adjustable moving average settings and optional EMA filter allow for further optimization based on market conditions.
Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to fine-tune the threshold, moving average parameters, and filter settings for optimal performance.

Bollinger Bands + RSI [Uncle Sam Trading]The Bollinger Bands + RSI indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands (BB) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), into a unified framework designed to assess both market volatility and momentum. This indicator provides both visual signals on the chart, and allows you to set alerts. It is intended to help traders identify potential overbought/oversold conditions, trend reversals, and to refine trade entry and exit points.
Key Features:
Bollinger Bands: The indicator plots Bollinger Bands, which consist of a basis line (typically a 20-period Simple Moving Average), an upper band (basis + 2 standard deviations), and a lower band (basis - 2 standard deviations). The bands dynamically adjust to market volatility, widening during periods of increased volatility and contracting during periods of decreased volatility.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI, a momentum oscillator, is plotted in a separate pane below the price chart. It measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset. Traditional interpretation uses 70 and 30 as overbought and oversold levels, respectively.
Overbought/Oversold Zones Highlighting: This indicator uniquely highlights overbought and oversold zones directly on the price chart based on the RSI values. When the RSI is above the overbought level (default 70), a red-shaded area is displayed. When the RSI is below the oversold level (default 30), a green-shaded area is displayed. These visual cues enhance the identification of potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy signals when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and the RSI is below the oversold level (if the RSI filter is enabled). Sell signals are generated when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band and the RSI is above the overbought level (if the RSI filter is enabled). These signals are plotted as green upward-pointing triangles (buy) and red downward-pointing triangles (sell) on the chart.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust various settings, including:
Bollinger Bands Length: The number of periods used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation.
Bollinger Bands Standard Deviation: The multiplier used to determine the distance of the upper and lower bands from the basis.
RSI Length: The number of periods used to calculate the RSI.
RSI Overbought/Oversold Levels: The threshold values that define overbought and oversold conditions for the RSI.
Use RSI Filter for Signals: Enable/disable the RSI filter for buy and sell signals.
Colors: The colors of the Bollinger Bands, RSI, overbought/oversold levels, and zone highlights can be customized to suit user preferences.
Alerts: The indicator supports customizable alerts for various conditions, including:
Buy Signal: Triggered when a buy signal is generated.
Sell Signal: Triggered when a sell signal is generated.
Price Crossed Upper BB: Triggered when the price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
Price Crossed Lower BB: Triggered when the price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
RSI Overbought: Triggered when the RSI crosses above the overbought level.
RSI Oversold: Triggered when the RSI crosses below the oversold level.
How to Use:
The Bollinger Bands + RSI indicator can be used in various ways, including:
Identifying Potential Trend Reversals: Price crosses above the lower band coupled with an oversold RSI (and highlighted zone) may signal a bullish reversal. Conversely, a price cross below the upper band with an overbought RSI (and highlighted zone) may indicate a bearish reversal.
Confirming Trend Strength: In an uptrend, the price may "ride" the upper band, while in a downtrend, it may "ride" the lower band.
Exit Signals: Crossing the opposite band while in a trade, particularly with confirming RSI signals, is often used to identify potential exit points.
Combined with Other Analysis: This indicator works well in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and moving average-based strategies.

John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions. Enjoy a seamless blend of strategy and style—crafted with passion by Ayebale John Bob and his bestie!
Last Candle Close Above/Below AlertHow it works:
The script calculates whether the close of each candle is above or below the close of the previous candle, same as the initial code.
isLastBar is checked and the last candle to be created is the only one that will receive the condition from this variable.
If a highlight is needed it will use this criteria and apply the correct color for the last candle only, and any other candle will not be colored.
If alerts are enabled they will only work for the last bar too.
How to Use:
Add this script to your TradingView chart.
Use the inputs to set the desired timeframe to analyze, whether you want an alert for candles closing above or closing below and the background colors.
The last candle will highlight yellow when the close is higher or lower than the previous candle.
Alerts will be triggered on the last candle if you enable the alert conditions.
Key Features:
Timeframe Selection: You can choose a different timeframe in the settings.
Candle Highlight: Candles that close above or below the previous candle are highlighted in yellow.
Alerts: Alerts are configurable to trigger for "Close Above" or "Close Below" conditions, based on your selection in the settings.

three Supertrend EMA Strategy by Prasanna +DhanuThe indicator described in your Pine Script is a Supertrend EMA Strategy that combines the Supertrend and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to create a trend-following strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this indicator works:
1. EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average (SMA). In this strategy, the EMA is used to determine the overall trend direction.
Input Parameter:
ema_length: This is the period for the EMA, set to 50 periods by default. A shorter EMA will respond more quickly to price movements, while a longer EMA is smoother and less sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
How it's used:
If the price is above the EMA, it indicates an uptrend.
If the price is below the EMA, it indicates a downtrend.
2. Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend indicator is a trend-following tool based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a volatility measure. It helps to identify the direction of the trend by setting a dynamic support or resistance level.
Input Parameters:
supertrend_atr_period: The period used for calculating the ATR, set to 10 periods by default.
supertrend_multiplier1: Multiplier for the first Supertrend, set to 3.0.
supertrend_multiplier2: Multiplier for the second Supertrend, set to 2.0.
supertrend_multiplier3: Multiplier for the third Supertrend, set to 1.0.
Each Supertrend line has a different multiplier, which affects its sensitivity to price changes. The ATR period defines how many periods of price data are used to calculate the ATR.
How the Supertrend works:
If the Supertrend value is below the price, the trend is considered bullish (uptrend).
If the Supertrend value is above the price, the trend is considered bearish (downtrend).
The Supertrend will switch between up and down based on price movement and ATR, providing a dynamic trend-following signal.
3. Three Supertrend Lines:
In this strategy, three Supertrend lines are calculated with different multipliers and the same ATR period (10 periods). Each line is more or less sensitive to price changes, and they are plotted on the chart in different colors based on whether the trend is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Supertrend 1: The most sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 3.0.
Supertrend 2: A moderately sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 2.0.
Supertrend 3: The least sensitive Supertrend with a multiplier of 1.0.
Each Supertrend line signals a bullish trend when its value is below the price and a bearish trend when its value is above the price.
4. Strategy Rules:
This strategy uses the three Supertrend lines combined with the EMA to generate trade signals.
Entry Conditions:
A long entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in an uptrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are below the price), and the price is above the EMA. This suggests a strong bullish market condition.
A short entry is triggered when all three Supertrend lines are in a downtrend (i.e., all three Supertrend lines are above the price), and the price is below the EMA. This suggests a strong bearish market condition.
Exit Conditions:
A long exit occurs when the third Supertrend (the least sensitive one) switches to a downtrend (i.e., the price falls below it).
A short exit occurs when the third Supertrend switches to an uptrend (i.e., the price rises above it).
5. Visualization:
The strategy also plots the following on the chart:
The EMA is plotted as a blue line, which helps identify the overall trend.
The three Supertrend lines are plotted with different colors:
Supertrend 1: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 2: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Supertrend 3: Green (for uptrend) and Red (for downtrend).
Summary of the Strategy:
The strategy combines three Supertrend indicators (with different multipliers) and an EMA to capture both short-term and long-term trends.
Long positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bullish and the price is above the EMA.
Short positions are entered when all three Supertrend lines are bearish and the price is below the EMA.
Exits occur when the third Supertrend line (the least sensitive) signals a change in trend direction.
This combination of indicators allows for a robust trend-following strategy that adapts to both short-term volatility and long-term trend direction. The Supertrend lines provide quick reaction to price changes, while the EMA offers a smoother, more stable trend direction for confirmation.

Volume Spike DetectorVolume Spike Detector
This script is designed to identify significant spikes in trading volume and visually represent them on the chart. It calculates the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) of the trading volume and multiplies it by a user-defined threshold to determine the spike threshold. When the current volume exceeds this threshold, the script detects and highlights a volume spike.
Key Features:
Dynamic Spike Threshold:
The script calculates the spike threshold dynamically based on the average trading volume. Users can customize the threshold multiplier using an input setting.
Example: A threshold multiplier of 2.0 means the current volume must be twice the 20-period SMA to trigger a detection.
Visual Representation:
The current volume is plotted in blue bars.
The spike threshold is plotted as a red line, making it easy to visually identify when the volume crosses the threshold.
Alert Notification:
When a volume spike is detected, an alert is triggered to notify the user.
This feature is useful for real-time monitoring and spotting potential trading opportunities.
Use Case:
Traders can use this tool to identify sudden increases in trading activity, which may indicate a significant market move or event. It’s suitable for all markets, including cryptocurrencies, stocks, and forex.
Enigma End Game Indicator
Enigma End Game Indicator Description
The Enigma End Game indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance the way traders approach support and resistance, combining mainstream technical analysis with a unique, dynamic perspective. At its core, this indicator enables traders to adapt to market conditions in real time by applying a blend of classic and modern interpretations of support and resistance levels.
In traditional support and resistance analysis, we recognize the significant price points where the market has historically reversed or consolidated. However, the *Enigma End Game* indicator takes this one step further by analyzing each individual candle's high as a potential resistance level and each low as support. This allows the trader to stay more agile, as the market constantly updates and evolves. The dynamic nature of this method acknowledges that price movements are fractal in nature, meaning that these levels are not static but adjust in response to price action on multiple timeframes.
### How It Works:
When using the *Enigma End Game* indicator, it doesn't simply plot buy and sell signals automatically. Instead, the indicator highlights key levels based on the interaction between price and historical price action. Here's how it operates:
1. **Buy Logic:**
The indicator identifies bullish signals based on the *Enigma* logic, but it does not trigger an immediate buy. Instead, it plots arrows above or below the candles, indicating the key price levels where price action has shifted. Traders then focus on these areas, particularly looking for buy opportunities *below* these levels during key market sessions (such as London or New York) while aligning with both mainstream support and resistance and *Enigma* levels.
2. **Sell Logic:**
Similarly, when the indicator identifies a sell signal, it plots an arrow above the candle where price action has reversed. This does not immediately suggest selling. Traders wait for a price retracement back to the previously breached low (for a sell order) or high (for a buy order), observing price action closely on lower timeframes (such as the 1-minute chart) to refine entry points. The entry is triggered when price starts to show signs of reversing at these levels, further validated by mainstream and *Enigma* support/resistance.
### Practical Example – XAU/USD (Gold):
For instance, in the settings of the *Enigma End Game* indicator, if we select the 5-minute (5MN) timeframe as the key level, the indicator will only plot the first 3 arrows following the *Enigma* logic. The arrows will appear above or below the candle that was breached, indicating a potential trend reversal. In this scenario, the first arrow marks the point where price broke a significant support or resistance level. Afterward, the trader watches for a subsequent candle to close below (in the case of a sell) the previous candle’s low, confirming a bearish bias.
Now, the trader does not rush into a sell order. Instead, they wait for the price to pull back towards the previously breached low. At this point, the trader can use a lower timeframe (like the 1-minute chart) to identify both mainstream support and resistance levels and *Enigma* levels above the main 5-minute key level. These additional levels provide a clearer understanding of where price might reverse and give the trader a stronger edge in refining their entry point.
The trader then sets a sell order *above* the price level of the previous low, but only once signs show that price is retracing and ready to fall again. The price point where this retracement occurs, confirmed by both mainstream and *Enigma* levels, becomes the entry signal for the trade.
### Summary:
The *Enigma End Game* indicator combines time-tested principles of support and resistance with a more modern, adaptive view, empowering traders to read the market with greater precision. It guides you to wait for optimal entries, based on dynamic support and resistance levels that change with each price movement. By combining signals on higher timeframes with refined entries on lower timeframes, traders gain a unique advantage in navigating both obvious and hidden levels of support and resistance, ultimately improving their ability to time trades with higher probability of success.
This indicator allows for a more calculated, strategic approach to trading—highlighting the right moments to enter the market while providing the flexibility to adjust to different market conditions.
The *ENIGMA Signals with Retests* indicator is a versatile trading tool that combines key market sessions with dynamic support and resistance levels. It uses logic to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of recent price swings (highs and lows) and offers flexibility with the number of arrows plotted per session. The user can customize settings like arrow frequency, line styles, and session times, allowing for personalized trading strategies.
The indicator detects buy and sell signals by checking if the price breaks the previous swing high (for buy signals) or swing low (for sell signals). It then stores these levels and draws horizontal lines on the chart, representing critical price levels where traders can expect potential price reactions.
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to limit the number of arrows per session, ensuring a cleaner chart and reducing signal clutter. Horizontal lines are drawn at the identified buy or sell levels, with the option to display labels like "BUY - AT OR BELOW" and "SELL - AT OR ABOVE" to further clarify entry points.
The indicator also incorporates session filtering, allowing traders to focus on specific market sessions (Asia, London, and New York) for more relevant signals, and it ensures that no more than a user-defined number of arrows are plotted within a session.
William Fractals + SignalsWilliams Fractals + Trading Signals
This indicator identifies Williams Fractals and generates trading signals based on price sweeps of these fractal levels.
Williams Fractals are specific candlestick patterns that identify potential market turning points. Each fractal requires a minimum of 5 bars (2 before, 1 center, 2 after), though this indicator allows you to customize the number of bars checked.
Up Fractal (High Point) forms when you have a center bar whose HIGH is higher than the highs of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's high is higher than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal highs before requiring a lower high.
Down Fractal (Low Point) forms when you have a center bar whose LOW is lower than the lows of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's low is lower than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal lows before requiring a higher low.
Trading Signals:
The indicator generates signals when price "sweeps" these fractal levels:
Buy Signal (Green Triangle) triggers when price sweeps a down fractal. This requires price to go BELOW the down fractal's low level and then CLOSE ABOVE it . This pattern often indicates a failed breakdown and potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (Red Triangle) triggers when price sweeps an up fractal. This requires price to go ABOVE the up fractal's high level and then CLOSE BELOW it. This pattern often indicates a failed breakout and potential reversal downward.
Customizable Settings:
1. Periods (default: 10) - How many bars to check before and after the center bar (minimum value: 2)
2. Maximum Stored Fractals (default: 1) - How many fractal levels to keep in memory. Older levels are removed when this limit is reached to prevent excessive signals and maintain indicator performance.
Important Notes:
• The indicator checks the actual HIGH and LOW prices of each bar, not just closing prices
• Fractal levels are automatically removed after generating a signal to prevent repeated triggers
• Signals are only generated on bar close to avoid false triggers
• Alerts include the ticker symbol and the exact price level where the sweep occurred
Common Use Cases:
• Identifying potential reversal points
• Finding stop-hunt levels where price might reverse
• Setting stop-loss levels above up fractals or below down fractals
• Trading failed breakouts/breakdowns at fractal levels
Kalman For Loop [BackQuant]Kalman For Loop
Introducing BackQuant's Kalman For Loop (Kalman FL) — a highly adaptive trading indicator that uses a Kalman filter to smooth price data and generate actionable long and short signals. This advanced indicator is designed to help traders identify trends, filter out market noise, and optimize their entry and exit points with precision. Let’s explore how this indicator works, its key features, and how it can enhance your trading strategies.
Core Concept: Kalman Filter
The Kalman Filter is a mathematical algorithm used to estimate the state of a system by filtering noisy data. It is widely used in areas such as control systems, signal processing, and time-series analysis. In the context of trading, a Kalman filter can be applied to price data to smooth out short-term fluctuations, providing a clearer view of the underlying trend.
Unlike moving averages, which use fixed weights to smooth data, the Kalman Filter adjusts its estimate dynamically based on the relationship between the process noise and the measurement noise. This makes the filter more adaptive to changing market conditions, providing more accurate trend detection without the lag associated with traditional smoothing techniques.
Please see the original Kalman Price Filter
In this script, the Kalman For Loop applies the Kalman filter to the price source (default set to the closing price) to generate a smoothed price series, which is then used to calculate signals.
Adaptive Smoothing with Process and Measurement Noise
Two key parameters govern the behavior of the Kalman filter:
Process Noise: This controls the extent to which the model allows for uncertainty in price changes. A lower process noise value will make the filter smoother but slower to react to price changes, while a higher value makes it more sensitive to recent price fluctuations.
Measurement Noise: This represents the uncertainty or "noise" in the observed price data. A higher measurement noise value gives the filter more leeway to ignore short-term fluctuations, focusing on the broader trend. Lowering the measurement noise makes the filter more responsive to minor changes in price.
These settings allow traders to fine-tune the Kalman filter’s sensitivity, adjusting it to match their preferred trading style or market conditions.
For-Loop Scoring Mechanism
The Kalman FL further enhances the effectiveness of the Kalman filter by using a for-loop scoring system. This mechanism evaluates the smoothed price over a range of periods (defined by the Calculation Start and Calculation End inputs), assigning a score based on whether the current filtered price is higher or lower than previous values.
Long Signals: A long signal is generated when the for-loop score surpasses the Long Threshold (default set at 20), indicating a strong upward trend. This helps traders identify potential buying opportunities.
Short Signals: A short signal is triggered when the score crosses below the Short Threshold (default set at -10), signaling a potential downtrend or selling opportunity.
These signals are plotted on the chart, giving traders a clear visual indication of when to enter long or short positions.
Customization and Visualization Options
The Kalman For Loop comes with a range of customization options to give traders full control over how the indicator operates and is displayed on the chart:
Kalman Price Source: Choose the price data used for the Kalman filter (default is the closing price), allowing you to apply the filter to other price points like open, high, or low.
Filter Order: Set the order of the Kalman filter (default is 5), controlling how far back the filter looks in its calculations.
Process and Measurement Noise: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the Kalman filter by adjusting these noise parameters.
Signal Line Width and Colors: Customize the appearance of the signal line and the colors used to indicate long and short conditions.
Threshold Lines: Toggle the display of the long and short threshold lines on the chart for better visual clarity.
The indicator also includes the option to color the candlesticks based on the current trend direction, allowing traders to quickly identify changes in market sentiment. In addition, a background color feature further highlights the overall trend by shading the background in green for long signals and red for short signals.
Trading Applications
The Kalman For Loop is a versatile tool that can be adapted to a variety of trading strategies and markets. Some of the primary use cases include:
Trend Following: The adaptive nature of the Kalman filter helps traders identify the start of new trends with greater precision. The for-loop scoring system quantifies the strength of the trend, making it easier to stay in trades for longer when the trend remains strong.
Mean Reversion: For traders looking to capitalize on short-term reversals, the Kalman filter's ability to smooth price data makes it easier to spot when price has deviated too far from its expected path, potentially signaling a reversal.
Noise Reduction: The Kalman filter excels at filtering out short-term price noise, allowing traders to focus on the broader market movements without being distracted by minor fluctuations.
Risk Management: By providing clear long and short signals based on filtered price data, the Kalman FL helps traders manage risk by entering positions only when the trend is well-defined, reducing the chances of false signals.
Alerts and Automation
To further assist traders, the Kalman For Loop includes built-in alert conditions that notify you when a long or short signal is generated. These alerts can be configured to trigger notifications, helping you stay on top of market movements without constantly monitoring the chart.
Final Thoughts
The Kalman For Loop is a powerful and adaptive trading indicator that combines the precision of the Kalman filter with a for-loop scoring mechanism to generate reliable long and short signals. Whether you’re a trend follower or a reversal trader, this indicator offers the flexibility and accuracy needed to navigate complex markets with confidence.
As always, it’s important to backtest the indicator and adjust the settings to fit your trading style and market conditions. No indicator is perfect, and the Kalman FL should be used alongside other tools and sound risk management practices for the best results.
MACD Enhanced Strategy MTF with Stop Loss [LTB]Test strategy for MACD
This strategy, named "MACD Enhanced Strategy MTF with Stop Loss ," is a modified Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) strategy with enhancements such as multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis, custom scoring, and a dynamic stop loss mechanism. Let’s break down how to effectively use it:
Key Elements of the Strategy
MACD Indicator with Modifications:
The strategy uses MACD, a well-known momentum indicator, with customizable parameters:
fastLength, slowLength, and signalLength represent the standard MACD settings.
Instead of relying solely on MACD crossovers, it introduces scoring parameters for histogram direction (histside), indicator direction (indiside), and signal cross (crossscore). This allows for a more nuanced decision-making process when determining buy and sell signals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
The strategy compares the current timeframe's MACD score with that of a higher timeframe (HTF). It dynamically selects the higher timeframe based on the current timeframe. For example, if the current chart period is 1, it will select 5 as the higher timeframe.
This MTF approach aims to align trades with broader trends, filtering out false signals that could be present when analyzing only a single timeframe.
Scoring System:
A custom scoring system (count() function) is used to evaluate buy and sell signals. This includes calculations based on the direction and momentum of MACD (indi) and the histogram. The score is used to determine the strength of signals.
Positive scores indicate bullish sentiment, while negative scores indicate bearish sentiment.
This scoring mechanism aims to reduce the influence of noise and provide more reliable entries.
Entry Conditions:
Long Condition: When the Result value (a combination of MTF and current MACD analysis) changes and becomes positive, a long entry is triggered.
Short Condition: When the Result changes and becomes negative, a short entry is initiated.
Stop Loss Mechanism:
The countstop() function calculates dynamic stop loss values for both long and short trades. It is based on the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a factor (Mult), providing adaptive stop loss levels depending on market volatility.
The stop loss is plotted on the chart to show potential risk levels for open trades, with the line appearing only if shotsl is enabled.
How to Use the Strategy
To properly use the strategy, follow these steps:
Parameter Optimization:
Adjust the input parameters such as fastLength, slowLength, and signalLength to tune the MACD indicator to the specific asset you’re trading. The values provided are typical defaults, but optimizing these values based on backtesting can help improve performance.
Customize the scoring parameters (crossscore, indiside, histside) to balance how much weight you want to put on the direction, histogram, and cross events of the MACD indicator.
Select Appropriate Timeframes:
This strategy employs a multi-timeframe (MTF) approach, so it's important to understand how the higher timeframe (HTF) is selected based on the current timeframe. For instance, if you are trading on a 5-minute chart, the higher timeframe will be 15 minutes, which helps filter out lower timeframe noise.
Ensure you understand the relationship between the timeframe you’re using and the HTF it automatically selects. The strategy’s effectiveness can vary depending on how these timeframes align with the asset’s overall volatility.
Run Backtests:
Always backtest the strategy over historical data to determine its reliability for the asset and timeframes you’re interested in. Note that the MTF approach may require substantial data to capture how different timeframes interact.
Use the backtest results to adjust the scoring parameters or the Stop Loss Factor (Mult) for better risk management.
Stop Loss Usage:
The stop loss is calculated dynamically using ATR, which means that it adjusts with changing volatility. This can be useful to avoid being stopped out too often during periods of increased volatility.
The shotsl parameter can be set to true to visualize the stop loss line on the chart. This helps to monitor the protection level and make better decisions regarding holding or closing a trade manually.
Entry Signals and Trade Execution:
Look for changes in the Result value to determine entry points. For a long position, the Result needs to become positive, and for a short position, it must be negative.
Note that the strategy's entries are more conservative because it waits for the Result to confirm the direction using multiple factors, which helps filter out false breakouts.
Risk Management:
The adaptive stop loss mechanism reduces the risk by basing the stop level on market volatility. However, you must still consider additional risk management practices such as position sizing and profit targets.
Given the scoring mechanism, it might not enter trades frequently, which means using this strategy may result in fewer but potentially more accurate trades. It’s important to be patient and not force trades that don’t align with the calculated results.
Real-Time Monitoring:
Make sure to monitor trades actively. Since the strategy recalculates the score on each bar, real-time changes in the Result value could provide exit opportunities even if the stop loss isn't triggered.
Summary
The "MACD Enhanced Strategy MTF with Stop Loss " is a sophisticated version of the MACD strategy, enhanced with multi-timeframe analysis and adaptive stop loss. Properly using it involves optimizing MACD and scoring parameters, selecting suitable timeframes, and actively managing entries and exits based on a combination of scoring and volatility-based stop losses. Always conduct thorough backtesting before applying it in a live environment to ensure the strategy performs well on the asset you're trading.

Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy Description:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is designed to leverage market volatility specifically in Bitcoin (BTC) using a combination of volatility indicators and trend-following techniques. This strategy utilizes the VIXFix (a volatility indicator adapted for crypto markets) and the BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index from BitMEX) to identify periods of high volatility, while confirming trends with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). These components work together to offer a comprehensive system that traders can use to enter positions when volatility and trends are aligned in their favor.
Key Features:
VIXFix (Volatility Index for Crypto Markets): This indicator measures the highest price of Bitcoin over a set period and compares it with the current low price to gauge market volatility. A rise in VIXFix indicates increasing market volatility, signaling that large price movements could occur.
BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index): This volatility index, provided by BitMEX, measures the volatility of Bitcoin over the past 7 days. It helps traders monitor the recent volatility trend in the market, particularly useful when making short-term trading decisions.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The 50-period EMA acts as a trend indicator. When the price is above the EMA, it suggests the market is in an uptrend, and when the price is below the EMA, it suggests a downtrend.
How It Works:
Long Entry: A long position is triggered when both the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators are rising, signaling increased volatility, and the price is above the 50-period EMA, confirming that the market is trending upward.
Exit: The strategy exits the position when the price crosses below the 50-period EMA, which signals a potential weakening of the uptrend and a decrease in volatility.
This strategy ensures that traders only enter positions when the volatility aligns with a clear trend, minimizing the risk of entering trades during periods of market uncertainty.
Testing and Timeframe:
This strategy has been tested on Bitcoin using the daily timeframe, which provides a longer-term perspective on market trends and volatility. However, users can adjust the timeframe according to their trading preferences. It is crucial to note that this strategy does not include comprehensive risk management, aside from the exit condition when the price crosses below the EMA. Users are strongly advised to implement their own risk management techniques, such as setting appropriate stop-loss levels, to safeguard their positions during high volatility periods.
Utility:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is particularly well-suited for traders who aim to capitalize on the high volatility often seen in the Bitcoin market. By combining volatility measurements (VIXFix and BVOL7D) with a trend-following mechanism (EMA), this strategy helps identify optimal moments for entering and exiting trades. This approach ensures that traders participate in potentially profitable market moves while minimizing exposure during times of uncertainty.
Use Cases:
Volatility-Based Entries: Traders looking to take advantage of market volatility spikes will find this strategy useful for timing entry points during market swings.
Trend Confirmation: By using the EMA as a confirmation tool, traders can avoid entering trades that go against the trend, which can result in significant losses during volatile market conditions.
Risk Management: While the strategy exits when price falls below the EMA, it is important to recognize that this is not a full risk management system. Traders should use caution and integrate additional risk measures, such as stop-losses and position sizing, to better manage potential losses.
How to Use:
Step 1: Monitor the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators. When both are rising and the Bitcoin price is above the EMA, the strategy will trigger a long entry, indicating that the market is experiencing increased volatility with a confirmed uptrend.
Step 2: Exit the position when the price drops below the 50-period EMA, signaling that the trend may be reversing or weakening, reducing the likelihood of continued upward price movement.
This strategy is open-source and is intended to help traders navigate volatile market conditions, particularly in Bitcoin, using proven indicators for volatility and trend confirmation.
Risk Disclaimer:
This strategy has been tested on the daily timeframe of Bitcoin, but users should be aware that it does not include built-in risk management except for the below-EMA exit condition. Users should be extremely cautious when using this strategy and are encouraged to implement their own risk management, such as using stop-losses, position sizing, and setting appropriate limits. Trading involves significant risk, and this strategy does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always test any strategy in a demo environment before applying it to live markets.
