Pump-Smart Shorting Strategy

This strategy is designed for actively hedging long token positions by opening and closing short positions in response to market momentum, specifically after strong upward moves ("pumps"). It incorporates momentum detection, cooldown logic, and avoids shorting during periods of high volatility or when a pump is active. The script includes risk management, visual feedback zones for operational states, and a control panel for real-time diagnostics.

How The Strategy Works

1. Pump Detection
The strategy monitors for strong upward moves using:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): A value ≥ 70 signals strong buying momentum.
- Volume: If current volume exceeds 1.5× the average, combined with a single-bar price jump > 5%.
- When these pump conditions are met, the strategy blocks shorts and colors the background orange.

2. Pump End and Cooldown
Once pump conditions cease, the strategy enters a cooldown phase:
RSI must drop to ≤ 60.
Either the price momentum slows or volume returns to near average.
Users can set a waiting period (barsWait) after the pump ends before entering shorts.

3. Short Trade Entry
Shorts are opened only if:
- The pump has ended and cooldown conditions are met (shortAfterPump).
- Or a new high is established and no pump is underway (shortOnPeak).
Visual indicators:
Blue arrow for "short after pump".
Red arrow for "short on a new high".

4. No-Short Zones
A red background flag indicates zones where shorting is blocked:
If pump conditions are active.
If market is still cooling down post-pump.
If the cooldown period (barsWait) hasn't elapsed.
5. Position Management & Risk Controls
The script only opens a short if no short is currently active.
Take Profit (green line): Short closes if price falls ~2% below the short entry.
Stop Loss (red line): Short closes if price rises ~6% above the entry.
If a pump is detected while in a short, the position is closed immediately to mitigate risk.
6. Real-Time Visual Feedback

Green line: take profit threshold
Red line: stop loss threshold
Background Colors:
Orange: pump zone (no shorts)
Blue: post-pump entry zone
Red: no-short zone (visual block for restricted shorts)
Info Panel (top right): Shows pump status, cooldown, entry opportunities, and whether shorting is blocked.
Customization Parameters
lookbackPeriod: Bars to look back for new highs
minProfitPerc: Take profit percent on shorts
stopLossPerc: Maximum allowed loss percent before stop out
rsiPeriod, rsiHigh, rsiCool: Momentum detection/cooldown tuning
volMult, pctUp: Volume and price jump sensitivity for pump detection
barsWait: Number of bars to wait post-pump before allowing shorts
hedgeTokens: Short position size per entry
Use Cases
Active Hedging: For users managing large, illiquid spot positions who want to systematically hedge risk after large upward moves.
Momentum-Aware Shorting: Ensures shorts are only entered after euphoria cools, tactics for avoiding squeeze/liquidation risk.
Visual Diagnostics: Clear overlays and color codes for trading zones, signal clarity, and operational feedback.

This script is robust for market environments with frequent volatility spikes, giving traders a clear, rule-based template for short-side risk management.Documentation: Short After Pump Ends Strategy

Purpose: This Pine Script strategy allows you to hedge long token positions by opening shorts after strong price pumps finish and during market consolidations. It is designed to minimize risk from short squeezes and avoid shorting during active pumps.

Key Features:

Pump Detection:

Uses RSI, volume, and single-bar price jump to detect if the market is in an upward pump.
No short positions are opened during these zones. Red background visually highlights these periods.
Orange background highlights active pump zones.
Cooldown Logic:

Shorts are only opened after the pump has ended and the market has cooled down (RSI ≤ 60, volume and momentum returned to normal).
You can set how many bars to wait after the pump ends (barsWait) before shorts can be placed again.
Short Entry Triggers:

Short After Pump: When cooldown completes and no short position is active.
Short on New High: If a new high is formed and no pump is active (optional; keep for more frequent entries).

Risk Management:
Take Profit (TP): Short closes if market falls the specified percentage from entry.
Stop Loss (SL): Short closes if market rises the specified percentage.
If a pump is detected while in a short, the short is closed immediately.
Visuals and Feedback:

Shape markers for pump start/end, short entries (arrows) — without labels for clean visuals.
Colored overlays:
Orange = pump zone (no shorting)
Blue = post-pump short entry zones
Red = no-short zones (blocked periods)
Panel widget displays pump status, cooldown, opportunities, and zone state.

Parameters:
lookbackPeriod: Number of bars for new high detection.
minProfitPerc: Take profit percentage for shorts.
stopLossPerc: Max loss percentage before the short is stopped.
rsiPeriod, rsiHigh, rsiCool: Controls for pump/cooldown detection.
volMult, pctUp: Volume and price jump detection for identifying pumps.
barsWait: Wait time after pump ends before shorts are allowed.
hedgeTokens: Number of tokens to use for each short position.

Logic Summary Table:
Market Condition Action Visual Feedback
Pump detected No shorts/open, close shorts Orange/red overlay
Pump ended and cooled Shorts enabled (entry) Blue overlay, no short zone removed
New high while not pumping Shorts enabled (entry) Red arrow
TP or SL hit Short closed Green/red line overlay
Blocked periods No short allowed Red overlay

Usage:
- Deploy this strategy to minimize drawdown from post-pump reversals.
- Identify and avoid risky periods with clear overlays and marker signals.
- Actively hedge positions only when market is not in a strong upward momentum.

Customizable for:
- More conservative/aggressive pump detection (change RSI/volume/price thresholds).
- Adaptable to different token sizes and market environments (modify hedgeTokens, waiting periods, percent thresholds).
