Open Range Candle [TradeWithRon]This Open Range Break indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels using the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. This indicator dynamically plots critical levels such as the high, low, and middle of a predefined range, along with Fibonacci retracement levels for further analysis. It also features several customization options to fit various trading styles.
Key Features:
Session Setup: Allows the user to set the time offset in GMT - or + to adjust the ORB session to their local time zone.
The default ORB session is set at 9:45 AM but can be adjusted based on user preferences.
Warning: Only supports 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes.
Visual Customization:
Line Styles: Users can choose from Solid, Dotted, or Dashed lines to represent key price levels.
Color Adjustments: Customizable colors for the high, middle, and low levels of the range, as well as Fibonacci levels and vertical lines.
Labeling Options: The labels can be customized in terms of size and color, helping to keep the chart clean and clear.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels: Fibonacci retracement levels are automatically drawn between the high and low of the range. Users can toggle these on or off and customize the offset to suit different trading instruments.
Time-Based Visuals: A vertical line is drawn at the start of the ORB session, providing a clear visual marker of where the breakout starts. This is useful for pinpointing key trade setups.
The indicator supports both 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes.
EMA Integration: The user can enable an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on any chosen timeframe with adjustable parameters such as the length and color, providing additional trend context.
Dynamic Labeling: The indicator labels the high, middle, and low points of the ORB with custom text. These labels are updated in real-time as new data becomes available.
Limit on Lines and Labels: The indicator allows for a limit on the number of lines and labels drawn to maintain a clean chart, preventing unnecessary clutter as more ORB levels are plotted.
Daily Bias Information: The indicator assesses the daily trend bias (bullish or bearish) based on the relationship between the open and close prices for the last three daily candles, providing context for the current trading session.
Countdown Timer: The remaining time until the end of the current session is displayed in a countdown format, which helps traders to time their entries and exits more precisely.
How To Use:,
- Set the Timeframe to 15 minutes.
- Adjust the Time Zone Offset if needed, based on your local time zone.
- Enable the Show ORB feature for the first 15-minute candle to be drawn as the opening range. - The indicator will automatically mark the high, middle, and low points of the range.
Identify Breakout Points:
Bullish Breakout: If the price breaks above the high of the 15-minute opening range, this indicates a potential bullish breakout. The indicator will plot a vertical line marking the breakout point for further confirmation.
Bearish Breakout: If the price breaks below the low of the 15-minute opening range, this signals a potential bearish breakout. Again, the indicator will plot the breakout point with a vertical line for easy identification.

Average True Range (ATR)
Chonky ATR Levels 2.0Show ATR based high/low projections.
Choose a custom ATR calculation in the indicator's settings.
The default is a 20day RMA based ATR.
----------How projections are calculated----------
To project the ATR High, the ATR value is added to the low of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
To project the ATR Low, the ATR value is subtracted from the high of the current candle that matches the ATR's timeframe.
Example:
If a 20day RMA ATR is used:
- the ATR High will be the current day's low + the ATR value.
- the ATR Low will be the current day's high - the ATR value.
*However*, if the price action exceeds either ATR projection, the opposite ATR level will be fixed to the extreme of the period.
See the AUDUSD screenshot above for an example.
The ATR Low was exceeded, so the ATR High projection is capped at the high of day.
If the ATR High is exceeded, the ATR Low would be capped at the low of day.
Rachas ATR AssistHey Traders!
This indicator is a simple, it uses Average True Range (ATR) data from the daily chart and the current timeframe to estimate potential range and volatility.
This indicator compares the daily ATR to the current daily wick range (from low to high), helping you gauge how much "room" might be left for price movement within the day. Alongside that, it shows the ATR over the last 14 candles and 5 candles on your current chart for intraday volatility awareness—ideal for setting stops, targets, or position sizing.
Gauge Daily Potential Movement:
The "Day Range Difference" cell shows how much of the expected daily range (based on ATR) is still unfilled. If the market has moved less than the average, there's still potential for expansion. If it's close to or above the ATR, expect a slowdown or reversal.
Position Sizing & Stop Losses:
Use the 14-period ATR and 5-period ATR on your current timeframe to understand recent volatility. This helps in choosing logical stop loss levels and adjusting position sizes based on market conditions.
Volatility Awareness:
Knowing the average daily range and how much of it has been used lets you avoid entering trades too late in the move or placing stops in overly tight spots.
Table Position & Font:
You can adjust the table location (top/bottom left/right) and font size to best fit your chart layout.
Order Block Indicator | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm uploading a basic script that I felt necessary to make to help me with some gaps in my day trading. I personally am a visual trader that benefits greatly from automating some the ideas I have in my head. There are awesome builders out there and me creating this script isn't a knock on what's currently available to us, but something I wanted to be able to manage. I am opening up what I've found extremely helpful to my own trading to the community.
Here we have a very simple ATR-based order block (OB) finder. It's not anything original, but I do find consistent opportunities when combined with other tools I use to measure the market. It takes into consideration the previous 25 candles to determine if the OB is significant enough to mark. I use the average of 25 because I simply like it. I use the 25 EMA as part of my "trending" templates and find it to be a hybrid timeframe of sorts. You can find macro and micro trade locations by switching timeframes.
The main elements of the script are:
1. ATR based tracking | A bullish OB is defined as a down close candle that is eclipsed by an up-close candle that closes above its high and sustained for 2 consecutive candles. Inversely, a bearish OB is defined by an up-close candle immediately followed by a down-close candle that closes below the low of the up-close candle and sustains for 2 consecutive candles.
2. Coloring the OB | Though up-close and down-close define bearish and bullish levels, with this script I basically make OBs to switch colors based on where price is relative to the block. So a bullish block can become bearish and bearish can become bullish. Each block also has a dashed midpoint.
3. Order Block Mitigation | When price retests an OB by closing inside of it and retracing back out, that is considered mitigation. You will see price tap into it, but continues to track as a valid block, it's because it didn't close inside the block. This is subject to change in the future, but it's how the script functions for now.
______________
There are nuances to the script that you will see as you use it. Sometimes mitigated OBs act as levels to consider as well. When multiple blocks overlap I consider that a high traffic area. I would never suggest to use an indicator by itself for trade ideas, but blocks that align on multiple timeframes are good to consider.
At the end of the day it's a support and resistance measure. I'll comment an update with a snapshot of the indicator with another proprietary indicator I've made that provides ample intraday trading opportunities.
Cheers,
DTD

This strategy utilizes a dynamic ATR-based grid system to define optimal entry points, ensuring precise trade execution. It integrates volatility filtering and an RSI-based confirmation mechanism to enhance signal accuracy and reduce false entries.
This strategy is specifically optimized for scalping by dynamically adjusting trade levels based on current market conditions. The grid-based system helps capture retracement opportunities while maintaining strict trade management through predefined profit targets and trailing stop-loss mechanisms.
Key Features :
1. ATR-Based Grid System :
- Uses a 10-period ATR to dynamically calculate grid levels for entry points.
- Prevents chasing trades by ensuring price has reached key levels before executing entries.
2. No Trade Zone Protection :
- Avoids low-volatility zones where price action is indecisive.
- Ensures only high-momentum trades are executed to improve success rate.
3. RSI-Based Entry Confirmation :
- Long trades are triggered when RSI is below 30 (oversold) and price is in the lower grid zone.
- Short trades are triggered when RSI is above 70 (overbought) and price is in the upper grid zone.
4. Automated Trade Execution :
- Long Entry: Triggered when price drops below the first grid level with sufficient volatility.
- Short Entry: Triggered when price exceeds the highest grid level with sufficient volatility.
5. Take Profit & Trailing Stop :
- Profit target set at a customizable percentage (default 0.2%).

Cz ASR indicatorAverage session range indicator built by me. Great tool to gauge volatility and intraday reversal zones. Great for FX as there is an included table that shows range in pips; however, this can be applied across all assets as a volatility measure.
How it works:
The script measures the range of sessions, including Asia, London, and New York. The lookback period could be adjusted so you can find what length works best and is most accurate. This is then averaged out to provide the ASR. This provides us with an upper and lower bound of which the price could potentially fluctuate in based on the past session ranges. I have also added the 50% ASR, which is also a super useful metric for reversals or continuations.
There is also a configurable UTC so that you can adjust the indicator so it can accurately measure the range within certain sessions.
Note - different session start and stop times vary from market to market. I have set the code to the standard forex market opens however, if you wish to change the time ,you are able to do so by editing the variables in the script
Enjoy :)
ATR - Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon🧭 Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)
The Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR) is an enhanced and reimagined version of the standard Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It visualizes not just raw volatility, but the structure, momentum, and efficiency of volatility through a multi-layered visual approach.
It contains two distinct visual systems:
1. A zero-centered histogram that expresses how current volatility compares to its historical average, with intensity and color showing speed and conviction
2. A braided ribbon made of dual ATR-based moving averages that highlight transitions in volatility behavior—whether volatility is expanding or contracting
The name reflects its purpose: to capture asymmetric, evolving turbulence in market behavior, through structure-aware volatility tracking.
_______________________________________________________________
🔧 Inputs (Fibonacci defaults)
ATR Length
Lookback period for ATR calculation (default: 13)
ATR Base Avg. Length
Moving average period used as the zero baseline for histogram (default: 55)
ATR ROC Lookback
Number of bars to measure rate of change for histogram color mapping (default: 8)
Timeframe Override
Optionally calculate ATR values from a higher or fixed timeframe (e.g., 1D) for macro-volatility overlay
Show Ribbon Fill
Toggles colored fill between ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show ATR MAs
Toggles visibility of ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show Crossover Markers
Shows directional triangle markers where ATR EMA and HMA cross
Show Histogram
Toggles the entire histogram display
_______________________________________________________________
📊 Histogram Component: Volatility Energy Profile
The histogram shows how far the current ATR is from its moving average baseline, centered around zero. This lets you interpret volatility pressure—whether it's expanding, contracting, or preparing to reverse.
To complement this, the indicator also plots the raw ATR line in aqua. This is the actual average true range value—used internally in both the histogram and ribbon calculations. By default, it appears as a slightly thicker line, providing a clear reference point for comparing historical volatility trends and absolute levels.
Use the baseline ATR to:
- Compare real-time volatility to previous peaks or troughs
- Monitor how ATR behaves near histogram flips or ribbon crossovers
- Evaluate volatility phases in absolute terms alongside relative momentum
The ATR line is particularly helpful for users who want to keep tabs on raw volatility values while still benefiting from the enhanced visual storytelling of the histogram and ribbon systems.
Each histogram bar is colored based on the rate of change (ROC) in ATR: The faster ATR rises or falls, the more intense the color. Meanwhile, the opacity of each bar is adjusted by the effort/result ratio of the price candle (body vs. range), showing how much price movement was achieved with conviction.
Color Interpretation:
🔴 Red
Strong volatility expansion
Market entering or deepening into a volatility burst
Seen during breakouts, panic moves, or macro shock events
Often accompanied by large real candle bodies
🟠 Orange
Moderate volatility expansion
Heating up phase, often precedes breakouts
Common in strong trending environments
Signals tightening before acceleration
🟡 Yellow
Mild volatility increase
Transitional state—energy building, not yet exploding
Appears in early trend development or pullbacks
🟢 Green
Mild volatility contraction
ATR cooling off
Seen during consolidation, reversion, or range balance
Good time to assess upcoming directional setups
🔵 Aqua
Moderate compression
Volatility is clearly declining
Signals consolidation within larger structure
Pre-breakout zones often form here
🔵 Deep Blue
Strong volatility compression
Market is coiling or dormant
Can signal upcoming squeeze or fade environment
Often followed by sharp expansion
Opacity scaling:
Brighter bars = efficient, directional price action (strong bodies)
Faded bars = indecision, chop, absorption, or wick-heavy structure
Together, color and opacity give a 2D view of market volatility: Hue = the type and direction of volatility
Opacity = the quality and structure behind it
Use this to gauge whether volatility is rising with conviction, fading into neutrality, or compressing toward breakout potential.
_______________________________________________________________
🪡 Ribbon Component: Volatility Rhythm Structure
The ribbon overlays two moving averages of ATR:
EMA (yellow) – faster, more reactive
HMA (orange) – smoother, more rhythmic
Their relationship creates the ribbon logic:
Yellow fill (EMA > HMA)
Short-term volatility is increasing faster than the longer-term rhythm
Signals active expansion and engagement
Orange fill (HMA > EMA)
Volatility is decaying or leveling off
Suggests possible exhaustion, pullback, or range
Crossover triangle markers (optional, off by default to avoid clutter) identify the moment of shift in volatility phase.
The ribbon reflects the shape of volatility over time—ideal for mapping cyclical energy shifts, transitional states, and alignment between current and average volatility.
_______________________________________________________________
📐 Strategy Application
Use the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon to:
- Detect volatility expansions before breakouts or directional runs
- Spot compression zones that precede structural ruptures
- Visually separate efficient moves from noisy market activity
- Confirm or fade trade setups based on underlying energy state
- Track the volatility environment across multiple timeframes using the override
_______________________________________________________________
🎯 Ideal Timeframes
Designed to function across all timeframes, but particularly powerful on intraday to daily ranges (1H to 1D)
Use the timeframe override to anchor your chart in higher-timeframe volatility context, like daily ATR behavior influencing a 1H setup.
_______________________________________________________________
🧬 Customization Tips
- Increase ATR ROC Lookback for smoother color transitions
- Extend ATR Base Avg Length for more macro-driven histogram centering
- Disable the histogram for ribbon-only rhythm view
- Use opacity and color shifts in the histogram to detect stealth energy builds
- Align ATR phases with structure or order flow tools for high-quality setups

Breaking Structures (javieresfeliz)This TradingView script is designed to identify market structure changes, using a break of highs and lows approach, as well as technical indicators such as ATR, RSI, and EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). It is aimed at detecting bullish and bearish trends, signaling possible entry and exit points based on various factors. It also offers additional confirmations to avoid false signals and provides a clear visualization of buy and sell signals.
Main Features:
Indicators Used:
ATR (Average True Range): Used to calculate a volatility range, which helps set stop-loss levels and price targets based on the current market volatility.
EMAs (50 and 200): Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are used to determine the short-term and long-term trends. The 50-period EMA is used to identify the short-term trend, while the 200-period EMA is used to identify the long-term trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market, providing additional buy or sell signals.
Volume: Used to confirm the validity of a signal. An increase in volume can confirm a structure break and provide more reliability to the signal.
Break of Structure Detection (BOS):
Bullish Break: Generated when the price surpasses previous highs.
Bearish Break: Generated when the price falls below previous lows.
Change of Character (CHOCH):
Bullish Trend: Defined by a close above the open and above the 50 EMA.
Bearish Trend: Defined by a close below the open and below the 50 EMA.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy (Long): Activated when several conditions are met, including a bullish change of character, a bullish structure break, the price closing above the previous value plus a multiple of the ATR, and additional confirmations from RSI and volume.
Sell (Short): Activated when several conditions are met, including a bearish change of character, a bearish structure break, the price closing below the previous value minus a multiple of the ATR, with additional confirmations from RSI and volume.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Long Entry (Buy): Executed when the buy conditions are met.
Short Entry (Sell): Executed when the sell conditions are met.
Position Close: Positions are closed when the price crosses below (for long positions) or above (for short positions) the 50 EMA.
Historical Highs and Lows Lines:
The script draws lines of historical highs and lows from the last 288 and 60 periods to show key support and resistance levels on the chart.
Signal Table Across Multiple Timeframes:
The script displays a table in the top-right corner of the chart with indicators like the EMA trend, RSI value, and MACD histogram for timeframes of 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, and weekly.
Precautions:
Does not guarantee profits: Although the script is designed to detect structure breaks and possible trend changes, it does not guarantee 100% profitable signals. The market is always subject to risk and unpredictable volatility.
Requires adjustments for each asset: Parameters such as ATR length and EMA lengths should be adjusted according to the asset being analyzed and market conditions.
Use of additional confirmations: To reduce false signals, the script uses additional confirmations like RSI and volume, but it is always recommended to perform additional analysis before making trading decisions.
Changing trends: The change of character (CHOCH) can be a useful indicator, but it can give false signals in highly volatile markets or during prolonged consolidations.
Relies on historical data: This script relies on historical data to identify highs and lows. It does not consider fundamental events that may significantly impact the market.
Requires constant monitoring: Although the signals are automated, it is important to monitor open positions and make adjustments if market conditions change.
Risk of false signals: In low liquidity markets or consolidations, structure breaks can be false, so it’s recommended to pay attention to any additional confirmation signals or use a proper risk management strategy.
Litecoin Trailing-Stop StrategyAltcoins Trailing-Stop Strategy
This strategy is based on a momentum breakout approach using PKAMA (Powered Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average) as a trend filter, and a delayed trailing stop mechanism to manage risk effectively.
It has been designed and fine-tuned Altcoins, which historically shows consistent volatility patterns and clean trend structures, especially on intraday timeframes like 15m and 30m.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Conditions:
Long when PKAMA indicates an upward move
Short when PKAMA detects a downward trend
Minimum spacing of 30 bars between trades to avoid overtrading
Trailing Stop:
Activated only after a customizable delay (delayBars)
User can set trailing stop % and delay independently
Helps avoid premature exits due to short-term volatility
Customizable Parameters:
This strategy uses a custom implementation of PKAMA (Powered Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average), inspired by the work of alexgrover
PKAMA is a volatility-aware moving average that adjusts dynamically to market conditions, making it ideal for altcoins where trend strength and direction change frequently.

Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.

Long Term Profitable Swing | AbbasA Story of a Profitable Swing Trading Strategy
Imagine you're sailing across the ocean, looking for the perfect wave to ride. Swing trading is quite similar—you're navigating the stock market, searching for the ideal moments to enter and exit trades. This strategy, created by Abbas, helps you find those waves and ride them effectively to profitable outcomes.
🌊 Finding the Perfect Wave (Entry)
Our journey begins with two simple signs that tell us a great trading opportunity is forming:
- Moving Averages: We use two lines that follow price trends—the faster one (EMA 16) reacts quickly to recent price moves, and the slower one (EMA 30) gives us a longer-term perspective. When the faster line crosses above the slower line, it's like a clear signal saying, "Hey! The wave is rising, and prices might move higher!"
- RSI Momentum: Next, we check a tool called the RSI, which measures momentum (how strongly prices are moving). If the RSI number is above 50, it means there's enough strength behind this rising wave to carry us forward.
When both signals appear together, that's our green light. It's time to jump on our surfboard and start riding this promising wave.
⚓ Safely Riding the Wave (Risk Management)
While we're riding this wave, we want to ensure we're safe from sudden surprises. To do this, we use something called the Average True Range (ATR), which measures how volatile (or bumpy) the price movements are:
- Stop-Loss: To avoid falling too hard, we set a safety line (stop-loss) 8 times the ATR below our entry price. This helps ensure we exit if the wave suddenly turns against us, protecting us from heavy losses.
- Take Profit: We also set a goal to exit the trade at 11 times the ATR above our entry. This way, we capture significant profits when the wave reaches a nice high point.
🌟 Multiple Rides, Bigger Adventures
This strategy allows us to take multiple positions simultaneously—like riding several waves at once, up to 5. Each trade we make uses only 10% of our trading capital, keeping risks manageable and giving us multiple opportunities to win big.
🗺️ Easy to Follow Settings
Here are the basic settings we use:
- Fast EMA**: 16
- Slow EMA**: 30
- RSI Length**: 9
- RSI Threshold**: 50
- ATR Length**: 21
- ATR Stop-Loss Multiplier**: 8
- ATR Take-Profit Multiplier**: 11
These settings are flexible—you can adjust them to better suit different markets or your personal trading style.
🎉 Riding the Waves of Success
This simple yet powerful swing trading approach helps you confidently enter trades, clearly know when to exit, and effectively manage your risk. It’s a reliable way to ride market waves, capture profits, and minimize losses.
Happy trading, and may you find many profitable waves to ride! 🌊✨
Please test, and take into account that it depends on taking multiple longs within the swing, and you only get to invest 25/30% of your equity.
ATR & PTR TableThe ATR & PTR Table Indicator displays a dynamic table that provides Average True Range (measures market volatility over 1D, 1W, and 1M timeframes), Price trading range (difference between the high and low prices over the same periods) & percentage of the typical range that has been traded. This indicator will help traders identify potential breakout zones and assess volatility across multiple timeframes.
This had been optimized to show ATR and PTR on every time frame. The (1D) represents ATR on whatever timeframe you are currently on.
Price Extreme BandsPrice Extreme Bands Description
This indicator calculates and displays Price Extreme Bands based on an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and True Range Average True Range (TR ATR). It utilizes a custom "Super Smoother" function to smooth the bands, providing a clearer representation of potential price extremes without sacrificing accuracy.
Usage
Built for specifically for intraday timeframes, this indicator identifies short term price extremes and volatility ranges. Traders can observe when price moves towards the outer bands, suggesting strong momentum or potential overbought/oversold conditions. The filled zones highlight areas of increased volatility which can used as exit criteria for a trade, possible reversal points in ranging markets or price ranges where price momentum could slow in trending markets.
Key Features
Length Input: Controls the length of the EMA and TR ATR calculations.
Multiplier Inputs: Uses two fixed multipliers (1.71 and 2.50) to create bands.
Super Smoother: Applies a custom smoothing function to the bands for reduced noise.
Fill Zones: Fills the areas between the inner and outer bands to highlight potential volatility ranges.
Calculation:
1. EMA (Basis): Calculates the Exponential Moving Average of the selected source.
2. TR ATR: Calculates the True Range and then smoothes it using RMA (Rolling Moving Average).
3. Bands: Calculates upper and lower bands using the EMA and ATR, with multipliers of 1.71 and 2.50.
4. Super Smoother: Applies a smoothing function to the calculated bands.
Visuals:
Basis Line: Plots the EMA (basis) (invisible by default).
Inner Bands (1.71 Multiplier): Plots the smoothed bands with a distinct color (e.g., orange) (invisible by default).
Outer Bands (2.50 Multiplier): Plots the smoothed bands with a different color (e.g., purple) (invisible by default).
Fill Zones: Fills the region between the inner and outer upper bands and the inner and outer lower bands with a translucent color (e.g. light blue).
// Note: The plot lines are invisible by default. To view the basis, upper and lower band lines, adjust the visibility settings in the indicator's settings.
Uniqueness: Ready of the box. Code and parameters built specifically for 1m to 15m timeframes provides users with an indicator to easily identify price extremes. The use of TR ATR and addition of the Super Smoother calculation create a easier visualization and implementation compared to existing price band options.
Arbitrage Spot-Futures Don++Strategy: Spot-Futures Arbitrage Don++
This strategy has been designed to detect and exploit arbitrage opportunities between the Spot and Futures markets of the same trading pair (e.g. BTC/USDT). The aim is to take advantage of price differences (spreads) between the two markets, while minimizing risk through dynamic position management.
[Operating principle
The strategy is based on calculating the spread between Spot and Futures prices. When this spread exceeds a certain threshold (positive or negative), reverse positions are opened simultaneously on both markets:
- i] Long Spot + Short Futures when the spread is positive.
- i] Short Spot + Long Futures when the spread is negative.
Positions are closed when the spread returns to a value close to zero or after a user-defined maximum duration.
[Strategy strengths
1. Adaptive thresholds :
- Entry/exit thresholds can be dynamic (based on moving averages and standard deviations) or fixed, offering greater flexibility to adapt to market conditions.
2. Robust data management :
- The script checks the validity of data before executing calculations, thus avoiding errors linked to missing or invalid data.
3. Risk limitation :
- A position size based on a percentage of available capital (default 10%) limits exposure.
- A time filter limits the maximum duration of positions to avoid losses due to persistent spreads.
4. Clear visualization :
- Charts include horizontal lines for entry/exit thresholds, as well as visual indicators for spread and Spot/Futures prices.
5. Alerts and logs :
- Alerts are triggered on entries and exits to inform the user in real time.
[Points for improvement or completion
Although this strategy is functional and robust, it still has a few limitations that could be addressed in future versions:
1. [Limited historical data :
- TradingView does not retrieve real-time data for multiple symbols simultaneously. This can limit the accuracy of calculations, especially under conditions of high volatility.
2. [Lack of liquidity management :
- The script does not take into account the volumes available on the order books. In conditions of low liquidity, it may be difficult to execute orders at the desired prices.
3. [Non-dynamic transaction costs :
- Transaction costs (exchange fees, slippage) are set manually. A dynamic integration of these costs via an external API would be more realistic.
4. User-dependency for symbols :
- Users must manually specify Spot and Futures symbols. Automatic symbol validation would be useful to avoid configuration errors.
5. Lack of advanced backtesting :
- Backtesting is based solely on historical data available on TradingView. An implementation with third-party data (via an API) would enable the strategy to be tested under more realistic conditions.
6. [Parameter optimization :
- Certain parameters (such as analysis period or spread thresholds) could be optimized for each specific trading pair.
[How can I contribute?
If you'd like to help improve this strategy, here are a few ideas:
1. Add additional filters:
- For example, a filter based on volume or volatility to avoid false signals.
2. Integrate dynamic costs:
- Use an external API to retrieve actual costs and adjust thresholds accordingly.
3. Improve position management:
- Implement hedging or scalping mechanisms to maximize profits.
4. Test on other pairs:
- Evaluate the strategy's performance on other assets (ETH, SOL, etc.) and adjust parameters accordingly.
5. Publish backtesting results :
- Share detailed analyses of the strategy's performance under different market conditions.
[Conclusion
This Spot-Futures arbitrage strategy is a powerful tool for exploiting price differentials between markets. Although it is already functional, it can still be improved to meet more complex trading scenarios. Feel free to test, modify and share your ideas to make this strategy even more effective!
