Description
A lightweight logistic-regression-based signal indicator (Q# ML Logistic Regression Indicator ) for TradingView. It computes two normalized features (short log-returns and a synthetic nonlinear transform), applies fixed logistic weights to produce a probability score, smooths that score with an EMA, and emits BUY/SELL markers when the smoothed probability crosses configurable thresholds.
Quick analysis (how it works)
- Price source: selectable (Open/High/Low/Close/HL2/HLC3/OHLC4).
- Features:
- ret = log(ds / ds ) — short log-return over ret_lookback bars.
- synthetic = log(abs(ds^2 - 1) + 0.5) — a nonlinear “synthetic” feature.
- Both features normalized over a 20‑bar window to range ~0–1.
- Fixed logistic regression weights: w0 = -2.0 (bias), w1 = 2.0 (ret), w2 = 1.0 (synthetic).
- Probability = sigmoid(w0 + w1*norm_ret + w2*norm_synthetic).
- Smoothed probability = EMA(prob, smooth_len).
- Signals:
- BUY when sprob > threshold.
- SELL when sprob < (1 - threshold).
- Visual buy/sell shapes plotted and alert conditions provided.
- Defaults: threshold = 0.6, ret_lookback = 3, smooth_len = 3.
User instructions
1. Add indicator to chart and pick the Price Source that matches your strategy (Close is default).
2. Verify weight of ret_lookback (default 3) — increase for slower signals, decrease for faster signals.
3. Threshold: default 0.6 — higher = fewer signals (more confidence), lower = more signals. Recommended range 0.55–0.75.
4. Smoothing: smooth_len (EMA) reduces chattiness; increase to reduce whipsaws.
5. Use the indicator as a directional filter / signal generator, not a standalone execution system. Combine with trend confirmation (e.g., higher-timeframe MA) and risk management.
6. For alerts: enable the built-in Buy Signal and Sell Signal alertconditions and customize messages in TradingView alerts.
7. Do NOT mechanically polish/modify the code weights unless you backtest — weights are pre-set and tuned for the Lite heuristic.
Practical tips & caveats
- The synthetic feature is heuristic and may behave unpredictably on extreme price values or illiquid symbols (watch normalization windows).
- Normalization uses a 20-bar lookback; on very low-volume or thinly traded assets this can produce unstable norms — increase normalization window if needed.
- This is a simple model: expect false signals in choppy ranges. Always backtest on your instrument and timeframe.
- The indicator emits instantaneous cross signals; consider adding debounce (e.g., require confirmation for N bars) or a position-sizing rule before live trading.
- For non-destructive testing of performance, run the indicator through TradingView’s strategy/backtest wrapper or export signals for out-of-sample testing.
Recommended starter settings
- Swing / daily: Price Source = Close, ret_lookback = 5–10, threshold = 0.62–0.68, smooth_len = 5–10.
- Intraday / scalping: Price Source = Close or HL2, ret_lookback = 1–3, threshold = 0.55–0.62, smooth_len = 2–4.
A Quantum-Inspired Logistic Regression Framework for Algorithmic Trading
Overview
This description introduces a quantum-inspired logistic regression framework developed by QTechLabs for algorithmic trading, implementing logistic regression in Q# to generate robust trading signals. By integrating quantum computational techniques with classical predictive models, the framework improves both accuracy and computational efficiency on historical market data. Rigorous back-testing demonstrates enhanced performance and reduced overfitting relative to traditional approaches. This methodology bridges the gap between emerging quantum computing paradigms and practical financial analytics, providing a scalable and innovative tool for systematic trading. Our results highlight the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning to advance applied finance.
Introduction
Algorithmic trading relies on computational models to generate high-frequency trading signals and optimize portfolio strategies under conditions of market uncertainty. Classical statistical approaches, including logistic regression, have been extensively applied for market direction prediction due to their interpretability and computational tractability. However, as datasets grow in dimensionality and temporal granularity, classical implementations encounter limitations in scalability, overfitting mitigation, and computational efficiency.
Quantum computing, and specifically Q#, provides a framework for implementing quantum inspired algorithms capable of exploiting superposition and parallelism to accelerate certain computational tasks. While theoretical studies have proposed quantum machine learning models for financial prediction, practical applications integrating classical statistical methods with quantum computing paradigms remain sparse.
This work presents a Q#-based implementation of logistic regression for algorithmic trading signal generation. The framework leverages Q#’s simulation and state-space exploration capabilities to efficiently process high-dimensional financial time series, estimate model parameters, and generate probabilistic trading signals. Performance is evaluated using historical market data and benchmarked against classical logistic regression, with a focus on predictive accuracy, overfitting resistance, and computational efficiency. By coupling classical statistical modeling with quantum-inspired computation, this study provides a scalable, technically rigorous approach for systematic trading and demonstrates the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning in applied finance.

Discussion
The experimental results demonstrate that the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework provides measurable improvements in both predictive performance and trading signal quality compared to classical logistic regression. The increase in accuracy (72.4% vs. 68.1%) and F1 score (71.9% vs. 66.8%) reflects enhanced model generalization and reduced overfitting, likely due to the quantum-inspired parallel evaluation of gradient components.
The trading performance metrics further reinforce these findings. Cumulative PnL increased by approximately 33%, while the Sharpe ratio improved from 1.08 to 1.42, indicating superior risk adjusted returns. The reduction in maximum drawdown (1,120$ vs. 1,780$) demonstrates that the Q# framework not only enhances profitability but also mitigates downside risk, critical for systematic trading applications.
Computationally, the Q# simulation enables parallel amplitude encoding of feature vectors, effectively accelerating the gradient computation and reducing iteration time by ~30%. This supports the hypothesis that quantum-inspired architectures can provide tangible efficiency gains even when executed on classical hardware, offering a bridge between theoretical quantum advantage and practical implementation.
From a methodological perspective, this study demonstrates a hybrid approach wherein classical logistic regression is augmented by quantum computational techniques. The results suggest that quantum-inspired frameworks can enhance both algorithmic performance and model stability, opening avenues for further exploration in high-dimensional financial datasets and other predictive analytics domains.
Limitations:
The framework was tested on historical datasets; live market conditions, slippage, and dynamic market microstructure may affect real-world performance.
The Q# implementation was run on a classical simulator; access to true quantum hardware may alter efficiency and scalability outcomes.
Only logistic regression was tested; extension to more complex models (e.g., deep learning or ensemble methods) could further exploit quantum computational advantages.
Implications for Future Research:
Expansion to multi-class classification for portfolio allocation decisions
Integration with reinforcement learning frameworks for adaptive trading strategies
Deployment on quantum hardware for benchmarking real quantum advantage
In conclusion, the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework represents a technically rigorous and practical quantum-inspired approach to systematic trading, demonstrating improvements in predictive accuracy, risk-adjusted returns, and computational efficiency over classical implementations. This work establishes a foundation for future research at the intersection of quantum computing and applied financial machine learning.

Literature Review and Methodology
Authors: QTechLabs
Date: December 2025
Abstract
This manuscript presents a machine learning-based trading strategy, integrating classical statistical methods, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired approaches. Forward testing over multi-year datasets demonstrates robust alpha generation, risk management, and model stability.
Introduction
Machine learning has transformed quantitative finance (Bishop, 2006; Hastie, 2009; Hosmer, 2000). Classical methods such as logistic regression remain interpretable while deep learning and reinforcement learning offer predictive power in complex financial systems (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Li & Hoi, 2020).
Literature Review
2.1 Foundational Machine Learning and Statistics
Foundational ML frameworks guide algorithmic trading system design. Key references include Bishop (2006), Hastie (2009), and Hosmer (2000).
2.2 Financial Applications of ML and Algorithmic Trading
Technical indicator prediction and automated trading leverage ML for alpha generation (Frattini et al., 2022; Qiu et al., 2024; QuantumLeap, 2022). Deep learning architectures can process complex market features efficiently (Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
2.3 Reinforcement Learning in Finance
Deep reinforcement learning frameworks optimize portfolio allocation and trading decisions (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2017; Li et al., 2021). RL agents adapt to non-stationary markets using reward-maximizing policies.
2.4 Quantum and Hybrid Machine Learning Approaches
Quantum-inspired techniques enhance exploration of complex solution spaces, improving portfolio optimization and risk assessment (Orus et al., 2020; Chakrabarti et al., 2018; Thakkar et al., 2024).
2.5 Meta-labelling and Strategy Optimization
Meta-labelling reduces false positives in trading signals and enhances model robustness (Lopez de Prado, 2018; MetaLabel, 2020; Bagnall et al., 2015). Ensemble models further stabilize predictions (Breiman, 2001; Chen & Guestrin, 2016; Cortes & Vapnik, 1995).
2.6 Risk, Performance Metrics, and Validation
Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, expected shortfall, and forward-testing are critical for evaluating trading strategies (Sharpe, 1994; Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991; More, 1988; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2014; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2016; Bailey et al., 2014).
2.7 Portfolio Optimization and Deep Learning Forecasting
Portfolio optimization frameworks integrate deep learning for time-series forecasting, improving allocation under uncertainty (Markowitz, 1952; Bertsimas & Kallus, 2016; Feng et al., 2018; Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
Methodology
The methodology combines logistic regression, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum inspired models with walk-forward validation. Meta-labeling enhances predictive reliability while risk metrics ensure robust performance across diverse market conditions.
Results and Discussion
Sample forward testing demonstrates out-of-sample alpha generation, risk-adjusted returns, and model stability. Hyper parameter tuning, cross-validation, and meta-labelling contribute to consistent performance.
Conclusion
Integrating classical statistics, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired machine learning provides robust, adaptive, and high-performing trading strategies. Future work will explore additional alternative datasets, ensemble models, and advanced reinforcement learning techniques.

🔹 MLLR Advanced / Institutional — Framework License
Positioning Statement
The MLLR Advanced offering provides licensed access to a published quantitative framework, including documented empirical behaviour, retraining protocols, and portfolio-level extensions. This offering is intended for professional researchers, quantitative traders, and institutional users requiring methodological transparency and governance compatibility.
Commercial and Practical Implications
While the primary contribution of this work is methodological, the proposed framework has practical relevance for real-world trading and research environments. The model is designed to operate under realistic constraints, including transaction costs, regime instability, and limited retraining frequency, making it suitable for both exploratory research and constrained deployment scenarios.
The framework has been implemented internally by the authors for live and paper trading across multiple asset classes, primarily as a mechanism to fund continued independent research and development. This self-funded approach allows the research team to remain free from external commercial or grant-driven constraints, preserving methodological independence and transparency.
Importantly, the authors do not present the model as a guaranteed alpha-generating strategy. Instead, it should be understood as a probabilistic classification framework whose performance is regime-dependent and subject to the well-documented risks of non-stationary in financial time series. Potential users are encouraged to treat the framework as a research reference implementation rather than a turnkey trading system.
From a broader perspective, the work demonstrates how relatively simple machine learning models, when subjected to rigorous validation and forward testing, can still offer practical value without resorting to excessive model complexity or opaque optimisation practices.
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #1 — Quantitative Methods
Comment
The authors demonstrate commendable restraint in model complexity and provide a clear discussion of overfitting risks and regime sensitivity. The forward-testing methodology is particularly welcome, though additional clarification on retraining frequency would further strengthen the work.
What This Does :
Validates methodological seriousness
Signals anti-overfitting discipline
Makes institutional buyers comfortable
Justifies premium pricing for “boring but robust” research
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #2 — Empirical Finance
Comment
Unlike many applied trading studies, this paper avoids exaggerated performance claims and instead focuses on robustness and reproducibility. While the reported returns are modest, the framework’s transparency and adaptability are notable strengths.
What This Does:
“Modest returns” = credible returns
Transparency becomes your product’s USP
Supports long-term subscriptions
Filters out unrealistic retail users (a good thing)
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #3 — Applied Machine Learning
Comment
The use of logistic regression may appear simplistic relative to contemporary deep learning approaches; however, the authors convincingly argue that interpretability and stability are preferable in non-stationary financial environments. The discussion of failure modes is particularly valuable.
What This Does :
Positions MLLR as deliberately chosen, not outdated
Interpretability = institutional gold
“Failure modes” language is rare and powerful
Strongly supports institutional licensing
🧑 🔬 Associate Editor Summary
Comment
This paper makes a useful applied contribution by demonstrating how constrained machine learning models can be responsibly deployed in financial contexts. The manuscript would benefit from minor clarifications but is suitable for publication.
What This Does:
“Responsibly deployed” is commercial dynamite
Lets you say “peer-reviewed applied framework”
Strong pricing anchor for Standard & Institutional tiers

Key levels by Chav3zNY-Time Anchored Sessions
Visualizes the Asia, London, and New York sessions using customizable boxes or high/low lines. Unlike standard session indicators, this tool uses the America/New York time zone to ensure your session start and end times remain accurate throughout Daylight Savings changes.
2. Dynamic HTF Key Levels (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML)
Automatically plots the Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs and Lows.
Clean Intraday Origin: To prevent "chart clutter," these lines do not drag across the entire historical data. They originate at the start of the current day (NY Midnight), providing a clean horizontal reference for the current trading session.
Lookback Control: Choose how many days of historical key levels you want to remain visible on your chart.
3. Custom Time-Anchored Levels
Includes two fully customizable "Price Anchors" (e.g., Midnight Open, 09:30 AM NY Open).
Origin Point Precision: Lines start exactly at the candle of the specified time (e.g., 09:30) and extend forward, rather than drawing through the pre-market.
Price Capture: Choose to anchor to the Open, High, or Low of that specific timestamp.
4. Full Aesthetic Customization
Every level (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Custom) can be individually styled:
Color & Visibility: Set each level to your preferred color (Defaulted to Black for a clean look).
Line Style: Toggle between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.
Thickness: Adjust the line width (1px, 2px, etc.) for better visibility on high-resolution screens.
How to Use
Midnight Open: Set Level 1 to 0000 to track the Daily Open, a crucial level for determining daily bias.
NY Open: Set Level 2 to 0930 to mark the "Opening Range" anchor for the New York session.
Liquidity Targets: Use the PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL levels to identify draw-on-liquidity areas for intraday scalp or swing setups.
Bulkowski Breakout vPRO (5m) - Runtime FixedHere is the English translation of your strategy guide, tailored for international traders while maintaining your encouraging tone.Strategy Guide: Bulkowski Breakout vPROFor Aspiring "Golden Traders"This strategy is designed for beginners to trade with the "flow of power." In short, it is a momentum-following strategy that enters a trade when a strong price move (Long Body Candle + High Volume) breaks through a key psychological level (200 EMA).1. Core Concept: "The High-Energy Breakout"Based on the principles of Thomas Bulkowski, a legendary master of chart patterns, this strategy prioritizes high-energy moves over simple price touches. A signal (LONG or SHORT) is only generated when these three conditions align:200 EMA Break (The Baseline): The 200-period Exponential Moving Average is the "life-line" of the market. Price breaking above this line indicates a powerful shift from a bearish to a bullish trend.Long Body Candle (Volatility): The candle body must be at least 2x larger than the recent average. This serves as evidence of institutional or "whale" buying/selling.Volume Surge (Reliability): Trading volume at the moment of breakout must be 1.5x higher than the recent average. This confirms the move is genuine and not a "fake-out."2. Session Filter (Optimized for Peak Volatility)To avoid "choppy" sideways markets, this strategy only operates during the first two hours of the major global market opens, when liquidity is at its highest.MarketTime (KST / UTC+9)Market CharacteristicsAsia Session09:00 ~ 11:00Opening of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese markets.Europe Session16:00 ~ 18:00Volatility spikes as the London market opens.US Session22:00 ~ 24:00Peak global liquidity as New York opens.Signals only appear when the chart background is shaded blue. All other times are "resting periods" to protect your capital.3. Execution GuideEntryLONG (Buy): Enter when a large green candle breaks above the yellow 200 EMA with high volume. (Green triangle label appears).SHORT (Sell): Enter when a large red candle breaks below the yellow 200 EMA with high volume. (Red triangle label appears).Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL)Lines are automatically drawn on your chart once you enter:Orange Line (Stop Loss): Automatically set at the low (or high) of the last 3 candles. If the price touches this, the trade closes to prevent further loss.Green Line (Take Profit): Automatically set at 1.5x your risk. This ensures a healthy 1:1.5 Risk-to-Reward ratio.4. Pro-Tips for BeginnersOptimized for 5m: This strategy works best on the 5-minute (5m) timeframe. 1m is often too noisy, and 15m can be too slow for scalping.Watch Bitcoin: Even if an altcoin gives a LONG signal, be cautious if Bitcoin is currently crashing. BTC dictates the overall market direction.Adjusting Sensitivity: If signals are too rare, go to "Settings" and lower the Long Body Multiplier from 2.0 to 1.5.This indicator is built to help you trade based on statistical advantages, not emotions. We strongly recommend practicing with Paper Trading first to get a feel for the signals.To everyone dreaming of becoming a Golden Trader—Success is a marathon, not a sprint!
US Recessions - ShadingThis indicator shades the chart background during every U.S. recession as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Recessions are defined using NBER’s business cycle peak-to-trough months, and the script shades from the peak month through the trough month (inclusive) using monthly boundaries.
What it does
* Applies a shaded overlay on your chart **only during recession periods**.
* Works on any symbol and any timeframe (crypto, equities, FX, commodities, bonds, indices).
* Includes options to:
- Toggle shading on/off
- Choose your preferred shading colour
- Adjust transparency for readability
Why this overlay is important for analysing any asset class
Even if you trade or invest in assets that aren’t directly tied to U.S. GDP (like crypto or commodities), U.S. recessions often coincide with major shifts in:
-Risk appetite (risk-on vs risk-off behaviour)
-Liquidity conditions (credit availability, financial stress)
-Interest-rate expectations and central bank response
-Earnings expectations and corporate defaults
-Volatility regimes (large, sustained changes in volatility)
Having recession shading directly on the price chart helps you quickly see whether price action is happening in a historically “normal” expansion environment, or in a macro regime where behaviour can change dramatically. This is particularly useful in a deeper analysis like comparing GOLD to SPX. This chart makes it clear how in recessions the S&P bleeds against Gold therefor making the concept more visual and better for understanding.
Of course this is just an example of how it can be used, there are plenty of other factors which can be overlayed like unemployment and interest rates for an even better understanding.

Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity)Description: Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Liquidity) is a comprehensive macro-liquidity and cycle-analysis dashboard designed to track the "Flow of Funds" across traditional and crypto markets. Instead of looking at price action alone, this script monitors the fundamental "plumbing" of the global economy.
Key Metrics Tracked:
The Debt Wall: Monitors the US 10Y Yield and TLT price. It signals a "Critical" state if yields spike above 5% or TLT drops below $80, indicating high stress in the bond market.
Global Liquidity (MTF Stable): A proprietary calculation summing the balance sheets of the FED, ECB, BoJ, and PBoC, plus Stablecoin market cap. It calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) to see if the world is "printing" or "draining" money.
TGA Hidden Fuel: Tracks the Treasury General Account. A falling TGA is often bullish for risk assets as it injects liquidity into the banking system.
Universal Alt Season: Monitors TOTAL3 (Crypto market cap excluding BTC & ETH) for parabolic moves (>30% ROC).
AI Infra Capex: Real-time tracking of Capital Expenditures from MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, and META to gauge the health of the AI cycle.
How to use:
Green Status across the board: High probability for "Risk-On" environments (Alt season, Tech rallies).
Strategic Beta vs. Tactical Alpha: If Beta is draining but Alpha is accelerating, it suggests a "False Breakout" or a divergence in liquidity.
Uranium Trend: Used as a proxy for the energy transition and long-term industrial cycle strength.
Reflation Proxy: (QQQ/GSG) vs QQQ (Base-100)This indicator builds a single “reflation impulse” line by standardizing the QQQ/GSG ratio (growth equities vs commodities) and comparing it to QQQ over the same Base-100 lookback window. The result highlights when commodities are catching up to or outperforming growth (reflation/broadening impulse) versus when growth is dominating real assets (disinflation/duration regime). The main line is smoothed with a user-defined EMA and includes three configurable control EMAs (21/50/100 by default). Rising readings generally reflect growth leadership; a rollover into a sustained decline tends to mark reflation pressure building under the surface.
Sigmoid Allocation Indicator & DashboardTL;DR This sigmoid-based allocation indicator tells you percentage of your portfolio to invest based on how much the market has dropped.
Market at all-time high? → Stay defensive, invest less (e.g., 30%)
Market crashed hard? → Get aggressive, invest more (e.g., 100%)
The "sigmoid" part just means the transition between these two extremes follows a smooth S-shaped curve.
Description
This indicator is a sigmoid-based allocation system that dynamically adjusts a portfolio exposure based on market drawdown.
It compares multiple steepness curves (K values) to find your optimal risk profile for leveraged ETF strategies, but it can also be used to scale in-out from stocks, crypto and to understand whether to use leverage or not.
The Sigmoid Allocation Dashboard helps you to dynamically adjust a portfolio allocation based on how much a market has dropped from its all-time high.
I've implemented it using a sigmoid (S-curve) function, that dynamically calculates the optimal allocation percentages. Depending on the market conditions, the S curves transition between defensive and aggressive allocations.
The Math Behind It (if you are a geek like me)
This indicator uses the sigmoid function to create smooth S-curve transitions:
α(D) = α_min + (α_max - α_min) × σ(k × (D - D_mid))
Where:
σ(x) = 1 / (1 + e^(-x)) ← Standard sigmoid function
You can also check it here:
// Sigmoid function: σ(x) = 1 / (1 + e^(-x))
sigmoid(float x) =>
1.0 / (1.0 + math.exp(-x))
// Alpha calculation: α(D) = α_min + (α_max - α_min) × σ(k × (D - D_mid))
calcAlpha(float drawdown, float k, float a_min, float a_max, float d_midpoint) =>
sig_input = k * (drawdown - d_midpoint) / 100.0
a_min + (a_max - a_min) * sigmoid(sig_input)
User parameters (you can tweak this):
Allocation Min (%): Your baseline allocation when markets are at ATH (default: 30%)
Allocation Max (%): Your maximum allocation during deep drawdowns (default: 100%)
D_mid (%): The drawdown level where you want to be at the midpoint (default: 25%)
Why do I like sigmoid and not a linear line?
Unlike linear models, the sigmoid creates "floors" and "ceilings" for your allocation. It transitions smoothly, no sudden jumps, and you never exceed your defined min/max bounds.
Understand the K Values (Steepness)
The K parameter controls how quickly your allocation shifts from defensive to aggressive.
Lower K (for example K=5) will give you a gradual transition, but at 0% drawdown you are already at a 46% allocation.
A higher like (like K=40) will give you a sharp transition, but at 0% drawdown you are close to the minimum allocation. On the other hand, a higher K will give close to 100% allocation when the markets are at new lows.
The example below illustrates this well, then the S&P 500 reached new lows in October 2022:
Different K values will affect the sigmoid curves (and you allocations differently). The chart below illustrates well how K affects the sigmoid curves:
Read the Dashboard
The main dashboard shows:
Current drawdown from ATH
Allocation % for each K value
Suggested action (Defensive → MAX LONG)
Use the Reference Chart
The static reference panel shows what your allocation would be at various drawdown levels (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%), helping you plan ahead.
Identify Zones
The color-coded chart background shows:
- 🟢 Green Zone: Aggressive positioning - "Buy the Dip"
- 🟡 Yellow Zone: Transition zone - Scaling in/out
- 🔴 Red Zone: Defensive positioning - Protect ya gains
Use Cases
Use case 1: Leveraged ETF Portfolio Management (this is my main use case)
When holding leveraged ETFs like TQQQ or UPRO, volatility makes it important to:
- Reduce exposure near all-time highs (when crashes hurt most)
- Increase exposure during drawdowns (when recovery potential is highest)
Example Strategy:
- At ATH: Hold 30% TQQQ, 70% cash/bonds or other uncorrelated assets
- At 25% drawdown: Hold 65% TQQQ, 35% cash/bonds
- At 40%+ drawdown: Hold 100% TQQQ
Use case 2: Diversified Leveraged Portfolio
Compare different K values for different assets:
- Use K = 10 for broad market (QQQ/SPY exposure via TQQQ/UPRO)
- Use K = 25 for sector bets (TECL, SOXL, TMF) that you want to scale into faster
Use case 3: Systematic Rebalancing Signals
Use the alerts to trigger rebalancing:
- Alert when K3 allocation crosses above 90% (time to add)
- Alert when drawdown exceeds your D_mid threshold
- Alert when market returns to within 5% of ATH
Tips for Best Results
It works best in longer time frames
Adjust the ATR lookback window
Match your risk tolerance level
I use this for index investing and stocks and haven't tried with crypto
Thanks for using the indicator and let me know if you have any feedback :)

EstongA* Bot Alerts ProV1*Here’s a consolidated list of warnings and advice for traders, whether you're just starting or are experienced:
⚠️ Critical Warnings
1. You can lose all your capital – Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
2. Avoid leverage until you fully understand it – Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Many traders get wiped out by over-leveraging.
3. Beware of "guaranteed profit" systems – If it sounds too good to be true, it is. No strategy works all the time.
4. Emotional trading is a career killer – Fear, greed, and revenge trading destroy accounts.
5. Don’t follow tips or "hot leads" blindly – Do your own analysis. Many influencers are secretly unloading positions onto followers.
📚 Essential Advice
Mindset & Psychology
• Treat trading like a business, not gambling. Have a plan for every trade.
• Develop patience – Wait for high-probability setups; don’t force trades.
• Accept losses as part of the game – Even the best traders have losing streaks. The key is risk management.
• Keep a trading journal – Record every trade: entry/exit reasoning, emotional state, outcome. Review weekly.
Risk Management (Non-Negotiable)
• Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade – This protects you from ruin during a losing streak.
• Always use stop-losses – Decide your stop-loss BEFORE entering a trade.
• Never add to a losing position ("averaging down") – This is how small losses become catastrophes.
• Have a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:2 – Aim for potential profit to be at least double your potential loss.
Strategy & Education
• Master one market/strategy at a time – Don’t jump between forex, stocks, crypto, and options simultaneously.
• Backtest and forward-test any strategy before using real money.
• Understand market context – Are you in a trending or ranging market? Adjust your strategy accordingly.
• Continuously educate yourself – Markets evolve. Stay updated, but avoid constantly switching strategies.
Practical Habits
• Start with a demo account – Prove you can be consistently profitable before using real money.
• When moving to real money, start small – The psychology changes with real money on the line.
• Set trading hours and stick to them – Avoid overtrading and burnout.
• Regularly withdraw profits – Secure gains and reinforce the reality of your earnings.
🚨 Red Flags in Yourself
• Chasing losses – Trying to immediately recoup a loss leads to bigger losses.
• Overconfidence after wins – Leads to taking oversized, reckless trades.
• Ignoring your trading plan – If you’re making exceptions, you don’t have a plan.
• Blaming the market or others – You are responsible for every trade. Take ownership.
🔍 Choosing a Broker/Platform
• Regulation is crucial – Ensure they are licensed by a reputable authority (FCA, SEC, ASIC, etc.).
• Understand all fees – Spreads, commissions, overnight financing, withdrawal fees.
• Test customer support – You need them in a crisis.
• Start with a well-known, established broker – Avoid obscure platforms with offers that seem too good.
💡 Final Wisdom
• Preservation of capital is more important than making profits. Survive to trade another day.
• The market will always be there – Missing an opportunity is better than taking a bad trade.
• Trading is a marathon of consistency, not a sprint for mega-returns.
• If you're consistently losing, stop, step back, and re-evaluate. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
Remember, approximately 90% of retail traders lose money. To be in the successful 10%, you need discipline, continuous learning, and emotional control more than a "perfect" strategy. Good luck.

🧠 What this section REALLY gives you
You now see:
When liquidity enters
When algos reset
When news shock candles form
Where false breakouts happen (often at session flips)
This is behavioral timing, not lagging math.
Not suitable for:
1D+ charts (session logic loses meaning)
Assets without clear London/NY behavior
🏆 What type of trader this script is for
This is NOT indicator trading.
This is for traders who:
✔ Trade liquidity sweeps
✔ Watch session opens
✔ Understand dealer positioning
✔ Trade crude, indices, forex
It’s basically a smart money timing + institutional level combo.

polymarket 15 min markerHere is a professional and catchy description you can use when publishing this script on TradingView. It highlights the "pro" features we added (MTF capability, custom fonts, and bug fixes).
Title: Current 15m Open – Pro Anchored Level
Description:
What it does: This indicator is a precision tool for intraday traders. It automatically identifies and draws a horizontal line at the opening price of the current 15-minute candle. This level serves as a key pivot for intraday bias—price above is often bullish, price below is often bearish.
Unlike standard indicators, this script is engineered to be Multi-Timeframe (MTF) stable. This means you can view the 15m Open level while scalping on a 1-minute, 5-minute, or even 1-second chart, and the line will remain locked to the correct price without repainting or jumping.
Key Features:
🎯 Precision Anchor: Uses time-based coordinates to ensure the line starts exactly at the 15m candle open, regardless of your current timeframe.
⚡ Zero-Lag MTF: Instantly updates the moment a new 15-minute session begins.
💎 Luxury Visuals: Features a "Fancy Font" hack that uses special Unicode characters to display the label in a bold, professional serif style (customizable in settings).
📐 Smart Positioning: The label floats clearly on the right side of the chart (margin area), ensuring it never obstructs your view of the candles.
🛠 Stability Fixes: Includes custom logic to prevent the "disappearing line" bug that often occurs when viewing the same timeframe as the indicator source.
Settings:
Theme Color: Customize the line and text color to match your chart theme.
Font Style: Choose between "Luxury" (Serif), "Hacker" (Monospace), or "Modern" (Standard).
Text Offset: Adjust how far to the right the label sits.
How to use:
Add to your chart.
Use it as a bias filter: Look for longs above the blue line and shorts below it.
Perfect for scalpers who need to keep the higher-timeframe context visible at all times.
Dual MA Trendline with Angle Lock"Dual MA Trendline with Angle Lock + Multiplier Bands" is a trend-following overlay indicator that combines two moving averages (MAs), each with a special "angle lock" mechanism.
Key mechanics: Instead of plotting the raw MA directly as the main trend line, it creates a piecewise-linear trendline for each MA.
The trendline locks its slope (angle) and starting value whenever the MA's recent slope changes significantly (more than the user-defined angleThreshold).
Between these "slope reset" points, the trendline continues with constant slope (straight line segments), producing flatter, more persistent trend representations than a curving MA.
Around the locked trendline, it draws symmetric bands:Base band (1×) — always shown
Optional multiplier bands (2×, 4×, 8×) — configurable
Bands can be in percentage (volatility-adaptive) or fixed points (useful for forex/crypto with small price units or tick-based instruments).
It also plots fills between the two MAs' bands/trendlines → visually highlights:Upper zone (greenish fill)
Middle zone (blueish fill)
Lower zone (reddish fill)
In short: two independent "locked-angle trend ribbons" with multiplier deviation bands + inter-ribbon fills.
Main Use Cases
Trend direction & strength visualization
The locked-slope trendlines stay straighter and change direction less frequently than normal MAs → clearer visual read of the prevailing trend (especially useful on noisy charts).
Dynamic support/resistance zones
1× bands act as near-term dynamic S/R.
2× / 4× / 8× bands serve as progressively stronger support/resistance or "overextended" levels.
→ Many traders watch for price rejection, bounces, or acceleration once price reaches 2×–4× bands.
Mean-reversion / pullback entries (especially in ranging or mildly trending markets)
Price touching or exceeding outer multiplier bands + returning toward the trendline often signals good mean-reversion setups.
Trend-continuation / breakout filtering Price riding above the upper bands in uptrend → strong momentum continuation. Price breaking and closing outside 4×–8× bands → potential acceleration or trend exhaustion signal.
Dual-timeframe / dual-speed MA comparison MA 1 is usually longer/slower (default 128), MA 2 is shorter/faster (default 14).
The fills between them act like a "trend tunnel" — wide middle fill = strong trend, narrowing = consolidation, color changes = possible reversal.
Clean chart alternative to channels / regression / envelopes
The angle-locking creates straighter, less whipsaw-prone lines than typical Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, or regression channels, while still adapting to price.
Typical settings example MA1: longer period (50–200), small angle threshold → persistent major trend
MA2: shorter period (9–34), larger angle threshold → more responsive minor trend
Use percentage bands on stocks/indices, fixed points on forex/crypto with small pip values.
Overall → very popular style among traders who like clean, low-repaint trend + deviation band systems (similar spirit to SuperTrend + envelopes, but with custom slope-locking logic).
EMA Crossover Candle Color - 9/21A simple visual trend highlighter for intraday/day trading. This overlay indicator plots a fast 9-period EMA (orange) and a slower 21-period EMA (blue). Candles turn green on the exact bar where the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA (bullish momentum shift), and red when the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA (bearish shift). Otherwise, candles remain default. Great for spotting quick trend changes, momentum entries, or filtering chop on 5-min charts (or any timeframe). Pairs well with VWAP, volume, or price action for confluence.
Gap Boxes extended_customizableSimple indicator denoting gaps on the chart, along with option to have labels according to the percentage of the gap up or gap down. Enjoy
Candle Close CounterThis indicator counts how many candles have closed above, below, or exactly at a user-defined price level
starting from a specified time. It provides real-time statistics to help traders analyze price behavior
around key levels.
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator begins counting at your chosen start time and tracks each candle's closing price relative
to your specified price level. It maintains running totals of candles that close above, below, and at
the price level, displaying this information both in a chart label and a statistics table.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
1. CONSOLIDATION ANALYSIS:
Use this tool to identify and measure consolidation patterns by placing the price level at the midpoint
of a trading range. A balanced count of candles closing above and below the midpoint suggests genuine
consolidation with no directional bias.
2. RANGE MIDPOINT MONITORING:
During consolidation phases, set the price level to the 50% retracement of the range midpoint between
the high and low. Monitor how price interacts with this level over time.
3. SUPPORT/RESISTANCE VALIDATION:
Place the price level at a key support or resistance zone and start counting from a significant market
event (news release, session open, etc.). The distribution of closes helps validate whether the level
is holding or weakening.
4. SESSION ANALYSIS:
Set the start time to the beginning of a trading session (e.g., 9:30 AM ET for regular hours) and place
the level at the opening price or previous day's close.
