FlowStateTrader FlowState Trader - Advanced Time-Filtered Strategy ## Overview FlowState Trader is a sophisticated algorithmic trading strategy that combines precision entry signals with intelligent time-based filtering and adaptive risk management. Built for traders seeking to achieve their optimal performance state, FlowState identifies high-probability trading opportunities within user-defined time windows while employing dynamic trailing stops and partial position management. ## Core Strategy Philosophy FlowState Trader operates on the principle that peak trading performance occurs when three elements align: **Focus** (precise entry signals), **Flow** (optimal time windows), and **State** (intelligent position management). This strategy excels at finding reversal opportunities at key support and resistance levels while filtering out suboptimal trading periods to keep traders in their optimal flow state. ## Key Features ### 🎯 Focus Entry System **Support/Resistance Zone Trading**: - Dynamic identification of key price levels using configurable lookback periods - Entry signals triggered when price interacts with these critical zones - Volume confirmation ensures genuine breakout/reversal momentum - Trend filter alignment prevents counter-trend disasters **Entry Conditions**: - **Long Signals**: Price closes above support buffer, touches support level, with above-average volume - **Short Signals**: Price closes below resistance buffer, touches resistance level, with above-average volume - Optional trend filter using EMA or SMA for directional bias confirmation ### ⏰ FlowState Time Filtering System **Comprehensive Time Controls**: - **12-Hour Format Trading Windows**: User-friendly AM/PM time selection - **Multi-Timezone Support**: UTC, EST, PST, CST with automatic conversion - **Day-of-Week Filtering**: Trade only weekdays, weekends, or both - **Lunch Hour Avoidance**: Automatically skips low-volume lunch periods (12-1 PM) - **Visual Time Indicators**: Background coloring shows active/inactive trading periods **Smart Time Features**: - Handles overnight trading sessions seamlessly - Prevents trades during historically poor performance periods - Customizable trading hours for different market sessions - Real-time trading window status in dashboard ### 🛡️ Adaptive Risk Management **Multi-Level Take Profit System**: - **TP1**: First profit target with optional partial position closure -

**Balanced**: Optimal risk/reward balance (recommended) - **Aggressive**: Later activation, wider trailing (let winners run) - **ATR-Based Calculations**: Adapts to current market volatility - **Automatic Activation**: Engages when position reaches profitability threshold ### 📊 Intelligent Position Sizing **Contract-Based Management**: - Configurable entry quantity (1-1000 contracts) - Partial close quantities for profit-taking - Clear position tracking and P&L monitoring - Real-time position status updates ### 🎨 Professional Visualization **Enhanced Chart Elements**: -

Strategy effectiveness monitoring - Risk-adjusted return metrics ### 🔔 Alert System **Comprehensive Notifications**: - Entry signal alerts with price and quantity - Take profit level hits (TP1 and TP2) - Stop loss activations - Trailing stop engagements - Position closure notifications ## Strategy Logic Deep Dive ### Entry Signal Generation The strategy identifies high-probability reversal points by combining multiple confirmation factors: 1. **Price Action**: Looks for price interaction with key support/resistance levels 2. **Volume Confirmation**: Ensures sufficient market interest and liquidity 3. **Trend Alignment**: Optional filter prevents counter-trend positions 4. **Time Validation**: Only trades during user-defined optimal periods 5. **Zone Analysis**: Entry occurs within calculated buffer zones around key levels ### Risk Management Philosophy FlowState Trader employs a three-tier risk management approach: 1. **Initial Protection**: ATR-based stop losses set at strategy entry 2. **Profit Preservation**: Trailing stops activate once position becomes profitable 3. **Scaled Exit**: Partial profit-taking allows for both security and potential ### Time-Based Edge The time filtering system recognizes that not all trading hours are equal: - Avoids low-volume, high-spread periods - Focuses on optimal liquidity windows - Prevents trading during news events (lunch hours) - Allows customization for different market sessions ## Best Practices and Optimization ### Recommended Settings **For Scalping (1-5 minute charts)**: -

Trailing Stop: Balanced mode - Time Filter: Extended trading hours **For Swing Trading (4H+ charts)**: - Lookback Period: 30-50 - ATR Period: 21+ - Trailing Stop: Aggressive mode - Time Filter: Disabled or very broad ### Market Compatibility - **Forex**: Excellent for major pairs during active sessions - **Stocks**: Ideal for liquid stocks during market hours - **Futures**: Perfect for index and commodity futures - **Crypto**: Effective on major cryptocurrencies (24/7 capability) ### Risk Considerations - **Market Conditions**: Performance varies with volatility regimes - **Timeframe Selection**: Lower timeframes require tighter risk management - **Position Sizing**: Never risk more than 1-2% of account per trade - **Backtesting**: Always test on historical data before live implementation ## Educational Value FlowState serves as an excellent learning tool for: - Understanding support/resistance trading - Learning proper time-based filtering -

Bull Flag DetectionThe FuturesGod bull flag indicator aims to identify the occurrence of bull flags. Bull flags are a popular trading pattern that allows users to gauge long entries into a given market. Flags consist of a pole that is followed by either a downward or sideways consolidation period. This script can be used on any market but was intended for futures (NQ, ES) trading on the intraday timeframe. The script does the following: 1. Identifies the occurrence of a flag pole. This is based on a lookback period and percentage threshold decided by the user. 2. Marks the consolidation area after the pole occurrence using swing highs and swing lows. 3. Visually the above is represented by a shaded green area. 4. When a pole is detected, it is marked by a downward off-white triangle. Note that if the percentage threshold is reached several times on the same upward climb, the script will continue to identify points where the threshold for pole detection is met. 5. Also visualized are the 20, 50 and 200 period exponential moving averages. The area between the 20 and 50 EMAs are shaded to provide traders a visual of a possible support area.

ICT Index ScheduleNew ICT student here, decided to compile the daily schedule and salient levels for London and New York index sessions into one place to aid my learning – thought others might benefit from this too :) The script works with whatever timezone setting, however make sure to change your timezone to New York time if you want to have the proper time-price alignment (I personally find it helpful when studying). Here's a legend of all the elements displayed at once: London only: New York only: // Couldn't find a comprehensive script with all the elements included, s/o to @the1dv for their Days of Week script.

Equity Index Overnight FakeoutThis script highlights when price violates the highest high or lowest low within the user's selected lookback period, with the caveat that it occurs during the GLOBEX session. The script is designed to work exclusively with the trading hours for CME and CBOT Equity Index futures. I'm planning to make a more customizable version down the line. My reasoning behind this very simple script is that the low liquidity and participation of the overnight session creates a tendency for moves at extremes to mean revert. Let me know what you think.
