ONEUSDT Mean-Reversion Strategy | 74.68% Win Rate | 417% Net Profit
This is a long-only mean-reversion strategy designed specifically for ONEUSDT on the 1-hour timeframe. The core logic identifies oversold conditions following sharp declines and enters positions when selling pressure exhausts, capturing the subsequent recovery bounce.
Backtested Period: June 2019 – December 2025 (~6 years)
Performance Summary
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Net Profit | +417.68% |
| Win Rate | 74.68% |
| Profit Factor | 4.019 |
| Total Trades | 237 |
| Sharpe Ratio | 0.364 |
| Sortino Ratio | 1.917 |
| Max Drawdown | 51.08% |
| Avg Win | +3.14% |
| Avg Loss | -2.30% |
| Buy & Hold Return | -80.44% |
Strategy Logic :
Entry Conditions (Long Only):
The strategy seeks confluence of three conditions that identify exhausted selling:
1. Prior Move Filter:*The price change from 5 bars ago to 3 bars ago must be ≥ -7% (ensures we're not entering during freefall)
2. Current Move Filter: The price change over the last 2 bars must be ≤ 0% (confirms momentum is stalling or reversing)
3. Three-Bar Decline: The price change from 5 bars ago to 3 bars ago must be ≤ -5% (confirms a significant recent drop occurred)
When all three conditions align, the strategy identifies a potential reversal point where sellers are exhausted.
Exit Conditions:
- Primary Exit: Close above the previous bar's high while the open of the previous bar is at or below the close from 9 bars ago (profit-taking on strength)
- Trailing Stop: 11x ATR trailing stop that locks in profits as price rises
Risk Management
- Position Sizing:Fixed position based on account equity divided by entry price
- Trailing Stop:11× ATR (14-period) provides wide enough room for crypto volatility while protecting gains
- Pyramiding:Up to 4 orders allowed (can scale into winning positions)
- **Commission:** 0.1% per trade (realistic exchange fees included)

TJR Bogdan Pro (V20)TJR Bogdan Pro (V20) - The "Cheat Code"
Trading is hard. This tool makes it simple.
Most new traders lose money because they guess. They buy when it "feels" low and sell when it "feels" high.
The TJR Bogdan Pro removes the guessing. It waits for the market to make a specific mistake (The Trap), and then tells you exactly when to enter (The Entry).
🎮 How to Play (The 3 Rules)
You are playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light." You do not touch the mouse until the indicator tells you to.
1. Wait for the Big Label
* Ignore the small lines and X's.
* Wait until a massive label pops up on your screen:
* 🔵 "BUY SETUP (STRONG)"
* 🟠 "SELL SETUP (STRONG)"
2. Set Your Trap (The Colored Box)
* When the label appears, a Colored Box will appear next to it.
* The market is like a rubber band; it usually snaps back to this box before going where it wants to go.
* The Move: Place a Limit Order inside the Darker Shaded Area of that box.
* If it's a Buy Setup: Place order in the Dark Blue Box.
* If it's a Sell Setup: Place order in the Dark Orange Box.
3. Set Your Safety (The Bread)
* Every trade needs a top and a bottom. The indicator marks these for you:
* 🛑 Red "STOP" Label: This is your Stop Loss. If price hits this, you were wrong. The system gets you out automatically to save your money.
* 🎯 Green "TARGET" Label: This is your Profit Target. This is where the bus is going. Set your "Take Profit" here.
🚀 The "First Trade" Checklist
1. Open the chart. (Works best on a 5-minute timeframe).
2. Sit on your hands. Do not click anything.
3. ALARM! You see the "SELL SETUP" label appear.
4. Look for the Orange Box.
5. Right-Click inside the dark part of the Orange Box $\to$ Sell Limit.
6. Drag your Stop Loss to the Red "STOP" label.
7. Drag your Take Profit to the Green "TARGET" label.
8. Walk away. The computer handles the rest.
That’s it. No guessing. No predicting. Just following orders.
VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.

Breakout Scanner (Screener)Breakout Scanner (Screener style — single indicator to drop in Screener tab)
Stage 2 Pullback Swing indicatorThis scanner is built for swing traders who want high-probability pullbacks inside strong, established uptrends. It targets names in a confirmed Stage 2 bull phase (Weinstein model) that have pulled back 10–30% from a recent swing high on light selling volume, while still respecting fast EMAs.
Goal: find powerful uptrending stocks during controlled dips before the next leg higher.
What it looks for
Strong prior uptrend: price above the 50 and 200 SMAs, momentum positive over multiple timeframes
Confirmed Stage 2: price above a rising 30-week MA on the weekly chart
Pullback depth: 10–30% off recent swing highs—not too shallow, not broken
Pullback quality: range contained, no panic selling, trend structure intact
EMA behavior: price near EMA10 or EMA20 at signal time
Volume contraction: sellers fading throughout the pullback
Bullish shift: green candle back in trend direction
Why this matters
This setup hints at institutions defending positions during a temporary dip. Strong stocks pull back cleanly with declining volume, then resume the primary trend. This script alerts you when those conditions align.
Best way to use
Filter a strong universe before applying—quality tickers only
Pair with clear trade plans: risk defined by prior swing low or ATR
Trigger alerts instead of hunting charts manually
Intended for
Swing traders who want momentum continuation setups
Traders who prefer entering on controlled retracements
Anyone tired of chasing extended breakouts
5 EMA SuiteHere is a breakdown of the code logic, tailored to your background as a developer.
### 1\. Version & Declaration
```pinescript
//@version=6
indicator("5 EMA Suite", shorttitle="5 EMA", overlay=true)
```
* **`//@version=6`**: This is the compiler directive. It tells TradingView to use the latest Pine Script engine (v6).
* **`indicator(...)`**: This defines the script properties.
* `"5 EMA Suite"`: The full name seen in the library.
* `shorttitle="5 EMA"`: The label seen on the chart legend.
* `overlay=true`: This is crucial. It tells the script to draw **on top of the price candles**. If this were `false`, the lines would appear in a separate pane below the chart (like an RSI or MACD volume oscillator).
### 2\. User Inputs (The "Settings" UI)
```pinescript
group_settings = "EMA Configurations"
len1 = input.int(9, title="EMA 1 Length", minval=1, group=group_settings)
...
src = input.source(close, title="Source", group=group_settings)
```
* **`input.int(...)`**: This creates an integer field in the UI settings menu. It’s similar to defining public properties in a .NET class that a user can configure at runtime.
* **`9`**: The default value.
* **`minval=1`**: Input validation (prevents divide-by-zero or negative length errors).
* **`group`**: Organizes all these inputs under a collapsible header in the settings menu, keeping the UI clean.
* **`input.source(...)`**: Allows you to choose what data to calculate on (e.g., `close`, `open`, `high`). Default is `close`.
### 3\. The Calculation Logic
```pinescript
ema1 = ta.ema(src, len1)
```
* **`ta.ema`**: This calls the built-in **Technical Analysis** namespace (`ta`).
* It calculates the Exponential Moving Average using the `src` (Price) and `len1` (Lookback period) defined above.
* Pine Script handles the array/series processing automatically. You don't need a `for` loop to iterate through historical bars; the runtime executes this script once for every bar on the chart efficiently.
### 4\. Visualization (Plotting)
```pinescript
plot(ema1, color=color.new(color.blue, 0), title="EMA 1", linewidth=1)
```
* **`plot(...)`**: The command to render the data on the canvas.
* **`color.new(color.blue, 0)`**: In v6, you cannot pass transparency directly to `plot`. You must create a color object.
* `color.blue`: The base color.
* `0`: The transparency (0 = solid/opaque, 100 = invisible).
* **`linewidth`**: Sets the thickness of the line (pixels). I increased the thickness for higher EMAs (50, 100, 200) in the code so visually they stand out as "major" support/resistance levels.

D/W/M RSI & %CHNG + ATRThis indicator provides a comprehensive, at-a-glance dashboard displaying key technical metrics across multiple timeframes: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. It tracks Price Change Percentage, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Average True Range (ATR) for each timeframe, helping traders quickly assess market trends, momentum, and volatility in one view.
Key Features:
Price Change % (Daily/Weekly/Monthly):
Displays the percentage change in price over the selected timeframes, giving traders insight into short-term, medium-term, and long-term price movement trends.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Shows the RSI value on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes. The RSI measures momentum, indicating overbought or oversold conditions:
Average True Range (ATR):
Tracks the ATR across multiple timeframes to assess market volatility. Higher ATR values signify more significant price movement (higher volatility), while lower values suggest quieter markets.
This indicator helps traders make informed decisions by quickly visualizing price momentum, market volatility, and possible trend reversals. It's ideal for swing traders, day traders, and long-term investors who need a bird's-eye view of the market across different timeframes.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Review the Price Change % to see how the market is trending across the selected timeframes.

Institutional Dominance/Trapped Trader Profile @MaxMaserati 3.0📊 Institutional Dominance & Trapped Trader Delta Profile
@MaxMaserati 3.0
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
The IDT Auction Profile is a professional-grade volume order flow analysis tool that reveals where institutional traders hold Positional Advantage and where retail participants are Trapped. Unlike traditional Volume Profile indicators, the IDT Profile integrates Volume Point Delta (VPD) analysis with advanced pattern recognition to identify the exact price levels where profitable institutional positions create support/resistance, and where losing positions are forced to exit.
This indicator answers the critical questions: Who is in profit? Who is trapped? And where will they defend or exit their positions?
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✨ FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚡ Quick Presets - One-click configuration for:

• Net Delta
• Buy/Sell Pressure %
🎨 Visual Enhancements:
• Column dividers for clarity
• Transparency controls
• Profile auto-hide when price moves away
• Cached color schemes for 30% performance boost
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🧠 CORE CONCEPT: DOMINANCE VS TRAPPED POSITIONING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator categorizes all market participants into two strategic positions based on their entry price relative to current market price:
📍 ABOVE CURRENT PRICE (Resistance Zones)
🔴 Aggressive Sellers in Profit - Sold higher, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟥 Trapped Buyers at Loss - Bought higher, currently losing. Must exit at breakeven, creating resistance.
📍 BELOW CURRENT PRICE (Support Zones)
🟢 Aggressive Buyers in Profit - Bought lower, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟩 Trapped Sellers at Loss - Sold lower, currently losing. Must cover at breakeven, creating support.
⚡ MAXIMUM CONFLUENCE ZONES
When Dominant (Profitable) and Trapped (Loss) positions align at the same level, you get the strongest support/resistance zones:
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Price) = Aggressive Sellers + Trapped Buyers = STRONGEST RESISTANCE
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Price) = Aggressive Buyers + Trapped Sellers = STRONGEST SUPPORT
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 VOLUME ANALYSIS COLUMNS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1️⃣ VPD Column (Volume Point Delta)
Net aggressive pressure at each price level (Buying Volume - Selling Volume)
- Bullish Delta (Green): Buyers dominated the auction at this level
- Bearish Delta (Red): Sellers dominated the auction at this level
- Smart Coloring: Automatically highlights institutional patterns
2️⃣ VPS Column (Volume Point of Sell - ASK Volume)
Aggressive buying volume that "lifted the offer" by hitting ask prices
- Represents participants who paid the ask price to enter long
- When price is below this level = These buyers are in profit
- When price is above this level = These sellers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional bid volume absorption
3️⃣ VPB Column (Volume Point of Buy - BID Volume)
Aggressive selling volume that "hit the bid" by taking bid prices
- Represents participants who sold at bid price to enter short
- When price is above this level = These sellers are in profit
- When price is below this level = These buyers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional ask volume absorption
4️⃣ SVP Column (Optional - Session Volume Profile)
Traditional combined volume profile without bid/ask separation
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 ADVANCED INSTITUTIONAL PATTERNS DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses statistical analysis (standard deviation, moving averages, hit counting) to identify institutional footprints:
⚡ Failed Auctions - "BUYERS TRAPPED" or "SELLERS TRAPPED" labels
• High volume entered, but price immediately reversed
• Creates extreme concentrations of losing positions
• Trading Implication: High-probability reversal zones where trapped participants must exit
📈 Volume Spikes - Bright green/red bars in VPD column
• Volume exceeds average by 2+ standard deviations
• Represents aggressive institutional entry
• Trading Implication: Potential trend continuation or setup for failed auction
🛡️ Absorption Zones - Yellow/Orange colored bars
• Large passive orders absorbing aggressive volume without price movement
• Indicates accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish)
• Trading Implication: Institutional positioning before major moves
🧊 Iceberg Orders - Cyan colored bars with high hit counts
• Same price level shows repeated volume without clearing
• Reveals hidden institutional limit orders split into small pieces
• Trading Implication: Strong liquidity magnets, price often returns here
💜 Volume Exhaustion - Purple colored bars
• Sharp volume drop (50%+) after spike
• Momentum exhausted, participants depleted
• Trading Implication: Potential reversal or consolidation ahead
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 SMART INSTITUTIONAL COLORING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Colors bars based on detected patterns vs simple red/green:
🟨 Yellow = Bullish battles won (buyers + trapped sellers)
🟧 Orange = Bearish battles won (sellers + trapped buyers)
🔵 Cyan = Iceberg orders (hidden liquidity)
🟣 Purple = Large passive orders
🟢 Bright Green = Buying spikes (institutional aggression)
🔴 Bright Red = Selling spikes (institutional aggression)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⭐ CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Each price level receives 1-5 stars based on:
★★ Volume spike presence (+2 stars)
★ Absorption pattern (+1 star)
★ Large passive orders (+1 star)
★ Proximity to Value Area (+1 star)
★★ Iceberg detection (+2 stars)
★★ Failed auction (+2 stars)
Minimum Signal Strength filter lets you show only levels with ★3+ confluence for highest-quality signals.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 VALUE AREA ANALYSIS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VAH (Value Area High) - Blue Line
- Top of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAH often rejects downward (resistance)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
VAL (Value Area Low) - Red Line
- Bottom of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAL often bounces upward (support)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
Trading Applications:
- Price outside Value Area → Mean reversion opportunity
- Price breaks VA with volume → Trend continuation
- Price oscillates within VA → Range-bound, fade extremes
- Previous session VA lines show carryover levels
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 EXPECTED PRICE BEHAVIOR AT KEY LEVELS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are observed behavioral patterns for educational purposes and backtesting research. Always validate with 250-500+ backtest trades before risking capital.
1️⃣ POC BOX ZONES (Highest Statistical Relevance)
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Current Price - SUPPORT)
Expected Behavior:
- Price approaching from above typically encounters buying pressure
- Both profitable institutional buyers and trapped short sellers create demand
- Common reaction: Price slows, consolidates, or bounces
- Failed bounces often lead to rapid breakdown (trapped buyers capitulate)
What Often Happens:
- Initial dip into zone → Weak bounce attempt
- Second test → Stronger bounce (trapped sellers covering + buyers defending)
- Break below → Quick acceleration as both groups exit
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Current Price - RESISTANCE)
Expected Behavior:
- Price rallying into zone typically encounters selling pressure
- Both profitable institutional sellers and trapped long buyers create supply
- Common reaction: Price stalls, consolidates, or rejects
What Often Happens:
- Initial push into zone → Weak rejection
- Second test → Stronger rejection (trapped buyers exiting + sellers defending)
- Break above → Quick acceleration as resistance becomes support
2️⃣ FAILED AUCTION ZONES
"SELLERS TRAPPED" Labels (Below Price):
- High-volume selling that immediately reversed = maximum trapped shorts
- When price returns, trapped sellers face pressure to cover
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Initial hesitation → Sharp bounce
"BUYERS TRAPPED" Labels (Above Price):
- High-volume buying that immediately failed = maximum trapped longs
- Price returning forces trapped buyers to exit at breakeven
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Distribution → Rejection
3️⃣ VALUE AREA DYNAMICS
Price Outside Value Area (VAH/VAL):
- Price beyond 70% volume zone = statistical outlier
- Two outcomes: Mean reversion OR trend continuation
- Key differentiator: Presence of confluence zones
Mean Reversion Pattern (No Strong Confluence):
- Price extends 1-2% beyond VA → Typically reverts toward POC
- Weak volume on extension → Higher probability of reversal
Breakout Pattern (With ★4+ Confluence):
- Price breaks VA with institutional patterns → Often continues
- Strong volume + confluence = New value area forming
4️⃣ ICEBERG ORDER BEHAVIOR
Cyan Bars with High Hit Counts:
- Repeated volume at same level = Large hidden order absorbing
- Price typically "tests" iceberg multiple times before resolution
- Two outcomes: Absorption complete (break) OR rejection (bounce)
5️⃣ VOLUME SPIKE PATTERNS
Bright Green/Red Bars (Institutional Aggression):
- Extreme delta spikes indicate institutional entry
- Trend Continuation Spikes: Spike aligned with trend = Often continues
- Exhaustion Spikes: Spike against trend = Failed auction forming
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

✅ Identifies who is profitable vs who is trapped at each level
✅ Detects institutional patterns (icebergs, absorption, failed auctions)
✅ Calculates confluence scores combining multiple factors
✅ Provides clear POC boxes showing exact institutional positioning
✅ Maps positional advantage rather than just volume density
✅ Alerts you to key level touches in real-time
✅ Shows historical context with POC extensions
✅ Displays live statistics for market conviction
This transforms Volume Profile from a historical volume chart into a strategic positioning map showing institutional dominance and trapped participants.

- Simulate trades, track all metrics
- Minimum 100 paper trades

⚠️ CRITICAL DISCLAIMERS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ Past volume ≠ Future price action
⚠️ Institutional positions change rapidly - these are static snapshots
⚠️ No indicator works 100% - risk management is mandatory
⚠️ Market conditions change - adapt your approach
⚠️ Backtest with YOUR style, YOUR timeframe, YOUR risk tolerance
⚠️ Alerts are notifications, not trade signals - you decide the action
The indicator reveals WHERE institutions are positioned and HOW they might behave. YOU decide IF, WHEN, and HOW to trade that information.
