Account GuardianAccount Guardian: Dynamic Risk/Reward Overlay
Introduction
Account Guardian is an open-source indicator for TradingView designed to help traders evaluate trade setups before entering positions. It automatically calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios based on market structure, displays visual Stop Loss and Take Profit zones, and provides real-time position sizing recommendations.
The indicator addresses a fundamental question every trader should ask before entering a trade: "Does this setup make mathematical sense?" Account Guardian answers this question visually and numerically, helping traders avoid impulsive entries with poor risk profiles.
Core Functionality
Account Guardian performs four primary functions:
Detects swing highs and swing lows to identify logical stop loss placement levels
Calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios for both long and short setups in real-time
Displays visual SL/TP zones on the chart for immediate trade planning
Computes position sizing based on your account size and risk tolerance
The goal is to provide traders with instant feedback on whether a potential trade meets their minimum risk/reward criteria before committing capital.
How It Works
Swing Detection
The indicator uses pivot point detection to identify recent swing highs and swing lows on the chart. These swing points serve as logical areas for stop loss placement:
For Long Trades: The most recent swing low becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis.
For Short Trades: The most recent swing high becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis.
The swing detection lookback period is configurable, allowing you to adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe and style.
It automatically adjusts the tp and sl when it is applied to your chart so it is always moving up and down!
Risk/Reward Calculation
Once swing levels are identified, the indicator calculates:
Entry Price: Current close price (where you would enter)
Stop Loss: Recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts)
Risk: Distance from entry to stop loss
Take Profit: Entry plus (Risk × Target Multiplier)
R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk
The R:R ratio is then evaluated against your configured thresholds to determine if the setup is valid, marginal, or poor.
Visual Elements
SL/TP Zones
When enabled, the indicator draws colored boxes on the chart showing:
Red Zone: Stop Loss area - the region between your entry and stop loss
Green/Gold/Red Zone: Take Profit area - colored based on R:R quality
The color coding provides instant visual feedback:
Green: R:R meets or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold (default 3:1)
Gold: R:R meets minimum threshold but below "Good" (between 2:1 and 3:1)
Red: R:R below minimum threshold - setup should be avoided
Swing Point Markers
Small circles mark detected swing points on the chart:
Green circles: Swing lows (potential support / long SL levels)
Red circles: Swing highs (potential resistance / short SL levels)
Dashboard Panel
The dashboard in the top-right corner displays comprehensive trade planning information:
R:R Row: Current Risk-to-Reward ratio for long and short setups
Status Row: VALID, OK, BAD, or N/A based on R:R thresholds
Stop Loss Row: Exact price level for stop loss placement
Take Profit Row: Exact price level for take profit placement
Pos Size Row: Recommended position size based on your risk parameters
Risk $ Row: Dollar amount at risk per trade
Position Sizing Logic
The indicator calculates position size using the formula:
Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk per Unit
Where:
Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage / 100)
Risk per Unit = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price
For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade ($100), if your entry is at 100 and stop loss at 98 (risk of 2 per unit), your position size would be 50 units.
Input Parameters
Swing Detection:
Swing Lookback: Number of bars to look back for pivot detection (default: 10). Higher values find more significant swing points but may be slower to update.
Target Multiplier: Multiplier applied to risk to calculate take profit distance (default: 2). A value of 2 means TP is 2× the distance of SL from entry.
Risk/Reward Thresholds:
Minimum R:R: Minimum acceptable Risk-to-Reward ratio (default: 2.0). Setups below this show as "BAD" in red.
Good R:R: Threshold for excellent setups (default: 3.0). Setups at or above this show as "VALID" in green.
Account Settings:
Account Size ($): Your trading account size in dollars (default: 10,000). Used for position sizing calculations.
Risk Per Trade (%): Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 1.0%). Professional traders typically risk 0.5-2% per trade.
Display:
Show SL/TP Zones: Toggle visibility of the colored zone boxes on chart (default: enabled)
Show Dashboard: Toggle visibility of the information panel (default: enabled)
Analyze Direction: Choose to analyze Long only, Short only, or Both directions (default: Both)
How to Use This Indicator
Basic Workflow:
Add the indicator to your chart
Configure your account size and risk percentage in the settings
Set your minimum and good R:R thresholds based on your trading rules
Look at the dashboard to see current R:R for potential long and short entries
Only consider trades where the status shows "VALID" or at minimum "OK"
Use the displayed SL and TP levels for your order placement
Use the position size recommendation to determine lot/contract size
Interpreting the Dashboard:
VALID (Green): Excellent setup - R:R meets your "Good" threshold. This is the ideal scenario for taking a trade.
OK (Gold): Acceptable setup - R:R meets minimum but isn't optimal. Consider taking if other confluence factors align.
BAD (Red): Poor setup - R:R below minimum threshold. Avoid this trade or wait for better entry.
N/A (Gray): Cannot calculate - usually means no valid swing point detected yet.
Best Practices:
Use this indicator as a filter, not a signal generator. It tells you IF a trade makes sense, not WHEN to enter.
Combine with your existing entry strategy - use Account Guardian to validate setups from other analysis.
Adjust the swing lookback based on your timeframe. Lower timeframes may need smaller lookback values.
Be honest with your account size input - accurate position sizing requires accurate inputs.
Consider the target multiplier carefully. Higher multipliers mean larger potential reward but lower probability of hitting TP.
Alerts
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
Good Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Good Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Bad Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R falls below your minimum threshold
Bad Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R falls below your minimum threshold
These alerts can help you monitor multiple charts and get notified when favorable setups appear.
Technical Implementation
The indicator is built using Pine Script v6 and includes:
Pivot-based swing detection using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow()
Dynamic box drawing for visual SL/TP zones
Table-based dashboard for clean information display
Color-coded visual feedback system
Persistent variable tracking for swing levels
Code Structure:
// Swing Detection
float swingHi = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
float swingLo = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
// R:R Calculation for Long
float longSL = recentSwingLo
float longRisk = entry - longSL
float longTP = entry + (longRisk * targetMult)
float longRR = (longTP - entry) / longRisk
// Position Sizing
float riskAmount = accountSize * (riskPct / 100)
float posSize = riskAmount / longRisk
Limitations
The indicator uses historical swing points which may not always represent optimal SL placement for your specific strategy
Position sizing assumes you can trade fractional units - adjust accordingly for instruments with minimum lot sizes
R:R calculations assume linear price movement and don't account for gaps or slippage
The indicator doesn't predict price direction - it only evaluates the mathematical viability of a setup
Swing detection has inherent lag due to the lookback period required for pivot confirmation

Why Risk/Reward Matters
Many traders focus solely on win rate, but profitability depends on the combination of win rate AND risk/reward ratio. Consider these scenarios:
50% win rate with 1:1 R:R = Breakeven (before costs)
50% win rate with 2:1 R:R = Profitable
40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable
60% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing money
Account Guardian helps ensure you only take trades where the math works in your favor, even if you're wrong more often than you're right.

My Price Curtain by @magasineMy Price Curtain by @magasine
Functional Description
My Price Curtain is a high-performance visual analysis tool designed to provide traders with immediate context regarding price positioning relative to institutional benchmarks. Unlike standard moving averages, this indicator creates a "curtain" of data that dynamically colors the chart background and provides real-time performance metrics to identify trend dominance at a glance.
Key Features & Differential Value
Multi-Method Dynamic Benchmarking: Choose between five different calculation methods: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or a manual Fixed Price. This allows you to switch from a standard technical trend (MA) to a "break-even" or "entry point" analysis (Fixed Price) instantly.
Intelligent Visual Feedback: The "Curtain" logic automatically colors the chart background—Green for Bullish dominance and Red for Bearish dominance—reducing cognitive load during fast-paced sessions.
Advanced Statistical Tracking: The indicator includes a built-in Performance Table that tracks the percentage of bars closing above or below the selected benchmark. This helps traders quantify the strength of a trend over the entire visible dataset.
Precision Labeling & Distance Analysis: A dynamic, color-coded label tracks the price on the Y-axis. It calculates and displays the exact percentage distance from the price to the benchmark in real-time, helping to identify overextended moves.
Optional Deviation Zones: Enable visual "Safety Zones" (boxes) that project a user-defined percentage deviation from the average, assisting in identifying potential volatility expansion or exhaustion areas.
Trading Utilities
Trend Confirmation: Use the background color and "Bars Above" percentage to confirm if you are trading with the path of least resistance.
Scalping & Intraday Support: The "Distance" metric is essential for scalpers to avoid entering trades too far from the average (mean reversion risk).
Custom Strategy Benchmark: Use the "Fixed Price" mode to set your specific entry price and see your real-time performance and "curtain" status relative to your position.
Futures Tick DashboardThis is a simple dashboard that shows the novice future trade the necessary info about the info about the Micro on mini futures contract they are thinking about trading

X-Trend Macro Command CenterX-Trend Macro Command Center (MCC) | Institutional Grade Dashboard
📝 Description Body
The Invisible Engine of the Market Revealed.
Traders often focus solely on Price Action, ignoring the massive underwater currents that actually drive trends: Global Liquidity, Inflation, and Central Bank Policy. We created X-Trend Macro Command Center (MCC) to solve this problem.
This is not just an indicator. It is a fundamental heads-up display that bridges the gap between technical charts and macroeconomic reality.
💡 The Idea & Philosophy
Markets don't move in a vacuum. Bull runs are fueled by M2 Money Supply expansion and negative real yields. Crashes are triggered by liquidity crunches and aggressive rate hikes. X-Trend MCC was built to give retail traders the same "Macro Awareness" that institutional desks possess. It aggregates fragmented economic data from Federal Reserve databases (FRED) directly onto your chart in real-time.
🚀 Application & Logic
This tool is designed for Trend Traders, Crypto Investors, and Macro Analysts.
Identify the Regime: Instantly see if the environment is "RISK ON" (High Liquidity, Low Real Rates) or "RISK OFF" (Monetary Tightening).
Validate the Trend: Don't buy the dip if Liquidity (M2) is crashing. Don't short the rally if Real Yields are negative.
Multi-Region Analysis: Switch instantly between economic powerhouses (US, China, Japan) to see where the capital is flowing.
📊 Dashboard Metrics Explained
Every row in the Command Center tells a specific story about the economy:
Interest Rate: The "Gravity" of finance. Higher rates weigh down risk assets (Stocks/Crypto).
Inflation (YoY): The erosion of purchasing power. We calculate this dynamically based on CPI data.
Real Yield (The "Golden" Metric): Calculated as Interest Rate - Inflation.
Green: Real Yield is low/negative. Cash is trash, assets fly.
Red: Real Yield is high. Cash is King, assets struggle.
US Debt & GDP: Fiscal health indicators formatted in Trillions ($T). Watch the Debt-to-GDP ratio—if it spikes >120%, expect currency debasement.
M2 Money Supply: The fuel tank of the market. Tracks the total amount of money in circulation.
↗ Trend: Liquidity is entering the system (Bullish).
↘ Trend: Liquidity is drying up (Bearish).
🧩 The X-Trend Ecosystem
X-Trend MCC is just the tip of the iceberg. This module is part of the larger X-Trend Project — a comprehensive suite of algorithmic tools being developed to quantify market chaos. While our Price Action algorithms (Lite/Pro/Ultra) handle the Micro, the MCC handles the Macro.
Technical Note:
Data Sources: Direct connection to FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data).
Zero Repainting: Historical data is requested strictly using closed bars to ensure accuracy.
Open Source: We believe in transparency. The code is open for study under MPL 2.0.

Index Construction Tool🙏🏻 The most natural mathematical way to construct an index || portfolio, based on contraharmonic mean || contraharmonic weighting. If you currently traded assets do not satisfy you, why not make your own ones?
Contraharmonic mean is literally a weighted mean where each value is weighted by itself.
...
Now let me explain to you why contraharmonic weighting is really so fundamental in two ways: observation how the industry (prolly unknowably) converged to this method, and the real mathematical explanation why things are this way.
How it works in the industry.
In indexes like TVC:SPX or TVC:DJI the individual components (stocks) are weighted by market capitalization. This market cap is made of two components: number of shares outstanding and the actual price of the stock. While the number of shares holds the same over really long periods of time and changes rarely by corporate actions , the prices change all the time, so market cap is in fact almost purely based on prices itself. So when they weight index legs by market cap, it really means they weight it by stock prices. That’s the observation: even tho I never dem saying they do contraharmonic weighting, that’s what happens in reality.
Natural explanation
Now the main part: how the universe works. If you build a logical sequence of how information ‘gradually’ combines, you have this:
Suppose you have the one last datapoint of each of 4 different assets;
The next logical step is to combine these datapoints somehow in pairs. Pairs are created only as ratios , this reveals relationships between components, this is the only step where these fundamental operations are meaningful, they lose meaning with 3+ components. This way we will have 16 pairs: 4 of them would be 1s, 6 real ratios, and 6 more inverted ratios of these;
Then the next logical step is to combine all the pairs (not the initial single assets) all together. Naturally this is done via matrices, by constructing a 4x4 design matrix where each cell will be one of these 16 pairs. That matrix will have ones in the main diagonal (because these would be smth like ES/ES, NQ/NQ etc). Other cells will be actual ratios, like ES/NQ, RTY/YM etc;
Then the native way to compress and summarize all this structure is to do eigendecomposition . The only eigenvector that would be meaningful in this case is the principal eigenvector, and its loadings would be what we were hunting for. We can multiply each asset datapoint by corresponding loading, sum them up and have one single index value, what we were aiming for;
Now the main catch: turns out using these principal eigenvector loadings mathematically is Exactly the same as simply calculating contraharmonic weights of those 4 initial assets. We’re done here.
For the sceptics, no other way of constructing the design matrix other than with ratios would result in another type of a defined mean. Filling that design matrix with ratios Is the only way to obtain a meaningful defined mean, that would also work with negative numbers. I’m skipping a couple of details there tbh, but they don’t really matter (we don’t need log-space, and anyways the idea holds even then). But the core idea is this: only contraharmonic mean emerges there, no other mean ever does.
Finally, how to use the thing:
Good news we don't use contraharmonic mean itself because we need an internals of it: actual weights of components that make this contraharmonic mean, (so we can follow it with our position sizes). This actually allows us to also use these weights but not for addition, but for subtraction. So, the script has 2 modes (examples would follow):
Addition: the main one, allows you to make indexes, portfolios, baskets, groups, whatever you call it. The script will simply sum the weighted legs;
Subtraction: allows you to make spreads, residual spreads etc. Important: the script will subtract all the symbols From the first one. So if the first we have 3 symbols: YM, ES, RTY, the script will do YM - ES - RTY, weights would be applied to each.
At the top tight corner of the script you will see a lil table with symbols and corresponding weights you wanna trade: these are ‘already’ adjusted for point value of each leg, you don’t need to do anything, only scale them all together to meet your risk profile.
Symbols have to be added the way the default ones are added, one line : one symbol.
Pls explore the script’s Style setting:
You can pick a visualization method you like ! including overlays on the main chart pane !
Script also outputs inferred volume delta, inferred volume and inferred tick count calculated with the same method. You can use them in further calculations.
...
Examples of how you can use it
^^ Purple dotted line: overlay from ICT script, turned on in Style settings, the contraharmonic mean itself calculated from the same assets that are on the chart: CME_MINI:RTY1! , CME_MINI:ES1! , CME_MINI:NQ1! , CBOT_MINI:YM1!

Ichimoku Trading Checklist - 5 Rules🧠 Description
This indicator implements a rule-based checklist built on Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, complemented with RSI and price structure, designed to help traders objectively evaluate whether a bullish setup is valid or not.
⚠️ This indicator does NOT generate buy or sell signals.
⚠️ It is NOT a trading system or financial advice.
The core philosophy is discipline and consistency:
If there is no setup, there is no trade.
________________________________________
✅ The 5 Rules Evaluated
1. Chikou Span above price (26 bars back)
Confirms that current price is above historical price, validating a bullish context.
2. Bullish TK Cross (Tenkan-sen > Kijun-sen)
Measures bullish momentum within the Ichimoku framework.
3. Bullish divergence or convergence between RSI and price
Evaluates relative strength using recent RSI pivots and price structure.
4. Kumo breakout followed by a valid pullback
Requires a bullish cloud breakout and a pullback that respects the structure.
5. Bullish Kumo (green cloud / twist)
Confirms that the Ichimoku cloud supports a bullish bias.
________________________________________
🚦 Decision Traffic Light (Final Row)
The last row of the table provides a traffic-light style summary:
• 🟢 5/5 rules met → Valid setup
• 🟡 1–4 rules met → Incomplete setup
• 🔴 0 rules met → No trade

Volatility Targeting: Single Asset [BackQuant]Volatility Targeting: Single Asset
An educational example that demonstrates how volatility targeting can scale exposure up or down on one symbol, then applies a simple EMA cross for long or short direction and a higher timeframe style regime filter to gate risk. It builds a synthetic equity curve and compares it to buy and hold and a benchmark.
Important disclaimer
This script is a concept and education example only . It is not a complete trading system and it is not meant for live execution. It does not model many real world constraints, and its equity curve is only a simplified simulation. If you want to trade any idea like this, you need a proper strategy() implementation, realistic execution assumptions, and robust backtesting with out of sample validation.
Single asset vs the full portfolio concept
This indicator is the single asset, long short version of the broader volatility targeted momentum portfolio concept. The original multi asset concept and full portfolio implementation is here:
That portfolio script is about allocating across multiple assets with a portfolio view. This script is intentionally simpler and focuses on one symbol so you can clearly see how volatility targeting behaves, how the scaling interacts with trend direction, and what an equity curve comparison looks like.
What this indicator is trying to demonstrate
Volatility targeting is a risk scaling framework. The core idea is simple:
If realized volatility is low relative to a target, you can scale position size up so the strategy behaves like it has a stable risk budget.
If realized volatility is high relative to a target, you scale down to avoid getting blown around by the market.
Instead of always being 1x long or 1x short, exposure becomes dynamic. This is often used in risk parity style systems, trend following overlays, and volatility controlled products.
This script combines that risk scaling with a simple trend direction model:
Fast and slow EMA cross determines whether the strategy is long or short.
A second, longer EMA cross acts as a regime filter that decides whether the system is ACTIVE or effectively in CASH.
An equity curve is built from the scaled returns so you can visualize how the framework behaves across regimes.
How the logic works step by step
1) Returns and simple momentum
The script uses log returns for the base return stream:
ret = log(price / price )
It also computes a simple momentum value:
mom = price / price - 1
In this version, momentum is mainly informational since the directional signal is the EMA cross. The lookback input is shared with volatility estimation to keep the concept compact.
2) Realized volatility estimation
Realized volatility is estimated as the standard deviation of returns over the lookback window, then annualized:
vol = stdev(ret, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays)
The Trading Days/Year input controls annualization:
252 is typical for traditional markets.
365 is typical for crypto since it trades daily.
3) Volatility targeting multiplier
Once realized vol is estimated, the script computes a scaling factor that tries to push realized volatility toward the target:
volMult = targetVol / vol
This is then clamped into a reasonable range:
Minimum 0.1 so exposure never goes to zero just because vol spikes.
Maximum 5.0 so exposure is not allowed to lever infinitely during ultra low volatility periods.
This clamp is one of the most important “sanity rails” in any volatility targeted system. Without it, very low volatility regimes can create unrealistic leverage.
4) Scaled return stream
The per bar return used for the equity curve is the raw return multiplied by the volatility multiplier:
sr = ret * volMult
Think of this as the return you would have earned if you scaled exposure to match the volatility budget.
5) Long short direction via EMA cross
Direction is determined by a fast and slow EMA cross on price:
If fast EMA is above slow EMA, direction is long.
If fast EMA is below slow EMA, direction is short.
This produces dir as either +1 or -1. The scaled return stream is then signed by direction:
avgRet = dir * sr
So the strategy return is volatility targeted and directionally flipped depending on trend.
6) Regime filter: ACTIVE vs CASH
A second EMA pair acts as a top level regime filter:
If fast regime EMA is above slow regime EMA, the system is ACTIVE.
If fast regime EMA is below slow regime EMA, the system is considered CASH, meaning it does not compound equity.
This is designed to reduce participation in long bear phases or low quality environments, depending on how you set the regime lengths. By default it is a classic 50 and 200 EMA cross structure.
Important detail, the script applies regime_filter when compounding equity, meaning it uses the prior bar regime state to avoid ambiguous same bar updates.
7) Equity curve construction
The script builds a synthetic equity curve starting from Initial Capital after Start Date . Each bar:
If regime was ACTIVE on the previous bar, equity compounds by (1 + netRet).
If regime was CASH, equity stays flat.
Fees are modeled very simply as a per bar penalty on returns:
netRet = avgRet - (fee_rate * avgRet)
This is not realistic execution modeling, it is just a simple turnover penalty knob to show how friction can reduce compounded performance. Real backtesting should model trade based costs, spreads, funding, and slippage.
Benchmark and buy and hold comparison
The script pulls a benchmark symbol via request.security and builds a buy and hold equity curve starting from the same date and initial capital. The buy and hold curve is based on benchmark price appreciation, not the strategy’s asset price, so you can compare:
Strategy equity on the chart symbol.
Buy and hold equity for the selected benchmark instrument.
By default the benchmark is TVC:SPX, but you can set it to anything, for crypto you might set it to BTC, or a sector index, or a dominance proxy depending on your study.
What it plots
If enabled, the indicator plots:
Strategy Equity as a line, colored by recent direction of equity change, using Positive Equity Color and Negative Equity Color .
Buy and Hold Equity for the chosen benchmark as a line.
Optional labels that tag each curve on the right side of the chart.
This makes it easy to visually see when volatility targeting and regime gating change the shape of the equity curve relative to a simple passive hold.
Metrics table explained
If Show Metrics Table is enabled, a table is built and populated with common performance statistics based on the simulated daily returns of the strategy equity curve after the start date. These include:
Net Profit (%) total return relative to initial capital.
Max DD (%) maximum drawdown computed from equity peaks, stored over time.
Win Rate percent of positive return bars.
Annual Mean Returns (% p/y) mean daily return annualized.
Annual Stdev Returns (% p/y) volatility of daily returns annualized.
Variance of annualized returns.
Sortino Ratio annualized return divided by downside deviation, using negative return stdev.
Sharpe Ratio risk adjusted return using the risk free rate input.
Omega Ratio positive return sum divided by negative return sum.
Gain to Pain total return sum divided by absolute loss sum.
CAGR (% p/y) compounded annual growth rate based on time since start date.
Portfolio Alpha (% p/y) alpha versus benchmark using beta and the benchmark mean.
Portfolio Beta covariance of strategy returns with benchmark returns divided by benchmark variance.
Skewness of Returns actually the script computes a conditional value based on the lower 5 percent tail of returns, so it behaves more like a simple CVaR style tail loss estimate than classic skewness.
Important note, these are calculated from the synthetic equity stream in an indicator context. They are useful for concept exploration, but they are not a substitute for professional backtesting where trade timing, fills, funding, and leverage constraints are accurately represented.
How to interpret the system conceptually
Vol targeting effect
When volatility rises, volMult falls, so the strategy de risks and the equity curve typically becomes smoother. When volatility compresses, volMult rises, so the system takes more exposure and tries to maintain a stable risk budget.
This is why volatility targeting is often used as a “risk equalizer”, it can reduce the “biggest drawdowns happen only because vol expanded” problem, at the cost of potentially under participating in explosive upside if volatility rises during a trend.
Long short directional effect
Because direction is an EMA cross:
In strong trends, the direction stays stable and the scaled return stream compounds in that trend direction.
In choppy ranges, the EMA cross can flip and create whipsaws, which is where fees and regime filtering matter most.
Regime filter effect
The 50 and 200 style filter tries to:
Keep the system active in sustained up regimes.
Reduce exposure during long down regimes or extended weakness.
It will always be late at turning points, by design. It is a slow filter meant to reduce deep participation, not to catch bottoms.
Common applications
This script is mainly for understanding and research, but conceptually, volatility targeting overlays are used for:
Risk budgeting normalize risk so your exposure is not accidentally huge in high vol regimes.
System comparison see how a simple trend model behaves with and without vol scaling.
Parameter exploration test how target volatility, lookback length, and regime lengths change the shape of equity and drawdowns.
Framework building as a reference blueprint before implementing a proper strategy() version with trade based execution logic.
Tuning guidance
Lookback lower values react faster to vol shifts but can create unstable scaling, higher values smooth scaling but react slower to regime changes.
Target volatility higher targets increase exposure and drawdown potential, lower targets reduce exposure and usually lower drawdowns, but can under perform in strong trends.
Signal EMAs tighter EMAs increase trade frequency, wider EMAs reduce churn but react slower.
Regime EMAs slower regime filters reduce false toggles but will miss early trend transitions.
Fees if you crank this up you will see how sensitive higher turnover parameter sets are to friction.
Final note
This is a compact educational demonstration of a volatility targeted, long short single asset framework with a regime gate and a synthetic equity curve. If you want a production ready implementation, the correct next step is to convert this concept into a strategy() script, add realistic execution and cost modeling, test across multiple timeframes and market regimes, and validate out of sample before making any decision based on the results.
Pair Creation🙏🏻 The one and only pair construction tech you need, unlike others:
Applies one consistent operation to all the data features (not only prices). Then, the script outputs these, so you can apply other calculations on these outputs.
calculates a very fast and native volatility based hedge ratio, that also takes into account point value (think SPY vs ES) so you can easily use it in position sizing
Has built-in forward pricing aka cost of carry model , so you can de-drift pairs from cost of carry, discover spot price of oil based on futures, and ofc find arbitrage opportunities
Also allows to make a pair as a product of 2 series, useful for triangular arbitrage
This script can make a pair in 2 ways:
Ratio, by dividing leg 1 by leg 2
Product, by multiplying leg 1 by leg 2
The real mathematically right way to construct a pair is a ratio/product (Spreads are in fact = 2 legged portfolio, but I ain't told ya that ok). Why? Because a pair of 2 entities has a mathematically unique beauty, it allows direct comparisons and relationship analysis, smth you can't do directly with 3 and more components.
Multiplication (think inversions like (EURUSD -> USDEUR), and use cases for triangular arbitrage) is useful sometimes too.
...
Quickguide:
First, "Legs" are pair components: make a pair of related assets. Don’t be guided exclusively by clustering, cointegrations, mutual information etc. Common sense and exogenous info can easily made them all Forward pricing model: is useful when u work with spot vs futures pairs. Otherwise: put financing, storage and yield all on zeros, this way u will turn it off and have a pure ratio/product of 2 legs.
Look at the 2 numbers on the script’s status line: the first one would always be 1), and the second one is a variable.
First number (always 1) is multiplier for your position size on leg 1
The second number is the multiplier for your position size on leg 2 in the opposite direction.
If both legs are related, trading your sizes with these multipliers makes you do statistical arbitrage -> trading ~ volatility in risk free mode, while the relationship between the assets is still in place.
Also guys srsly, nobody ‘ever’ made a universal law that somewhy somehow for whatever secret conspiracy reason one shall only trade pairs in mean reverting style xd. You can do whatever you want:
Tilt hedge ratio significantly based on relative strength of legs
Trade the pair in momentum style
Ignore hedge ratio all together
And more and more, the limit is your imagination, e.g.:
Anticipate hedge ratio changes based on exogenous info and act accordingly
Scalp a pair just like any other asset
Make a pair out of 2 pairs
Like I mean it, whatever you desire
About forward pricing model:
It’s applied only to leg 2;
Direct: takes spot price and finds out implied futures price
Inverse: takes futures price and finds out implied spot price (try on oil)
Pls read online how to choose parameters, it’s open access reliable info
About the hedge ratio I use:
You prolly noticed the way I prefer to use inferred volumes vs the “real” ones. In pairs it’s especially meaningful, because real volumes lose sense in pair creation. And while volumes are closely tied to volatility, the inferred volumes ‘Are’ volatility irl (and later can be converted to currency space by using point value, allowing direct comparisons symbol vs symbol).
This hedge ratio is a good example of how discovering the real nature of entities beats making 100s of inventions, why domain knowledge and proper feature engineering beats difficult bulky models, neural networks etc. How simple data understanding & operations on it is all you need.
This script simply does this:
Takes inferred volume delta of both assets, makes a ratio, normalizes it by tick sizes and points values of both legs, calculates a typical value of this series.
That’s it, no step 2, we’re done. No Kalman filters, no TLS regression, no vine copulas, or whatever new fancy keywords you can come up with etc.
...
^^ comparing real ES prices vs theoretical ones by forward-pricing model. Financing: 0.04, yield 0.0175
^^ EURUSD, 6E futures with theoretical futures price calculated with interest rate differential 0.02 (4% USD - 2% EUR interest rates)
^^4 different pairs (RTY/ES, YM/ES, NQ/ES, ES/ZN) each with different plot style (pick one you like in script's Style settings)
^^ YM/RTY pair, each plot represents ratio of different features: ratio of prices, ratio of inferred volume deltas, ratio of inferred volumes, ratio of inferred tick counts (also can be turned on/off in Style settings)
...
How can u upgrade it and make a step forward yourself:
On tradingview missing values are automatically fixed by backfilling, and this never becomes a thing until you hit high frequency data. You can do better and use Kalman filter for filling missing values.
Script contains the functions I use everywhere to calculate inferred volume delta, inferred volume, and inferred tick count.

Realtime Position CalculatorRisk management is the single most important factor in trading success. This indicator automates the process of position sizing in real-time based on your account risk and a dynamic technical Stop Loss. It eliminates the need for manual calculations and helps you execute trades faster while adhering to strict risk management rules.
How it Works
The indicator visually places a Stop Loss line based on recent market structure (Highs/Lows) and instantly calculates the required position size (Contracts/Lots) to match your defined monetary risk.
1. Dynamic Stop Loss : It identifies the highest high (for Shorts) or lowest low (for Longs) over a user-defined lookback period.
2. Position Calculation : It calculates the distance between the current price and the Stop Loss level.
3. Formula : Contract Size = Risk Amount / (Distance * Point Value)
4. Actual vs. Target Risk : Because of the rounding, the script calculates and displays the Actual Risk (e.g., $95) alongside your Target Risk (e.g., $100), so you know exactly what is at stake.
Key Features
Real-time Calculation : Updates instantly as price moves.
Copy Trading Support : Includes an "Account Multiplier" setting. If you trade 10 accounts via a copy trader, set the multiplier to 10. The indicator will show the total contract size needed across all accounts.
Point Value Support : Works for Stocks/Crypto (Point Value = 1) and Futures (e.g., ES = 50, NQ = 20).
Customizable UI : Toggle specific data on/off in the label (e.g., hide price, show only contracts). Adjustable label offset to keep the chart clean.
Settings Guide
Trade Direction : Toggle between Long and Short setups. Add the indicator two times and set another for Longs and another for Shorts so you can see both direction at the same time.
Risk Amount : Your max risk in currency (e.g., $100).
Lookback : How many bars back to look for the SL pivot (e.g., 10 bars).
Point Value : Crucial for Futures. Use 1.0 for Crypto/Stocks. Use tick value/point value for futures (e.g., 50 for ES).
Account Multiplier : Multiply the position size for multiple accounts.
Label Offset : Move the information label to the right to avoid overlapping with price action.

Adaptive Risk Management [sgbpulse]1. Introduction:
Adaptive Risk Management is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive risk management tool directly on the chart. Instead of relying on complex manual calculations, the indicator automates all critical steps of trade planning. It dynamically calculates the estimated Entry Price , the Stop Loss location, the required Position Size (Quantity) based on your capital and risk limits, and the three Take Profit targets based on your defined Reward/Risk ratios. The indicator displays all these essential data points clearly and visually on the chart, ensuring you always know the potential risk-reward profile of every trade.
ARM : The A daptive R isk M anagement every trader needs to ARM themselves with.
2. The Critical Importance of Risk Management
Proper risk management is the cornerstone of successful trading. Consistent profitability in the market is impossible without rigorously defining risk limits.
Risk Control: This starts by setting the maximum risk amount you are willing to lose in a single trade (Risk per Trade), and limiting the total capital allocated to the position (Max Capital per Trade).
Defining Boundaries (Stop Loss & Take Profit): It is mandatory to define a technical Stop Loss and a Take Profit target. A fundamental rule of risk management is that the Reward/Risk Ratio (R/R) must be a minimum of 1:1.
3. Core Features, Adaptivity, and Customization
The Adaptive Risk Management indicator is engineered for use across all major trading styles, including Swing Trading, Intraday Trading, and Scalping, providing consistent risk control regardless of the chosen timeframe.
Real-Time Dynamic Adaptivity: The indicator calculates all risk management parameters (Entry, Stop Loss, Quantity) dynamically with every new bar, thus adapting instantly to changing market conditions.
Trend Direction Adjustment: Define the analysis direction (Long/Uptrend or Short/Downtrend).
Intraday Session Data Control: Full control over whether lookback calculations will include data from Extended Trading Hours (ETH), or if the daily calculations will start actively only from the first bar of Regular Trading Hours (RTH).
Status Validation: The indicator performs critical status checks and displays clear Warning Messages if risk conditions are not met.
4. Intuitive Visualization and Real-Time Data
Dynamic Tracking Lines: The Entry Price and Stop Loss lines are updated with every new bar. Crucially, the length of these lines dynamically reflects the calculation's lookback range (e.g., the extent of Lookback Bars or the location of the confirmed Pivot Point), providing a visual anchor for the calculated price.
Risk and Reward Zones: The indicator creates a graphical background fill between Entry and Stop Loss (marked with the risk color) and between Entry and the Reward Targets (marked with the reward color).
Essential Information Labels: Labels are placed at the end of each line, providing critical data: Estimated Entry Price, Stock/Contract Quantity (Quantity), Total Entry Amount, Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Total Financial Risk (Risk Amount), Exit Amount, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.1. Data Window Metrics (16 Full Series)
The indicator displays 16 full data series in the TradingView Data Window, allowing precise tracking of every calculation parameter:
Entry Data: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Entry Amount.
Risk Data (Stop Loss): Estimated Stop Loss, Risk per Share, Risk Amount, Exit Amount.
Reward Data (Take Profit): Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3, Reward/Risk Ratio 1/2/3, Total Reward 1/2/3, TP Exit Amount 1/2/3.
4.2. Instant Tracking in the Status Line
The indicator displays 6 critical parameters continuously in the indicator's Status Line: Estimated Entry, Quantity, Estimated Stop Loss, Estimated Take Profit 1/2/3.
5. Detailed Indicator Inputs
5.1 General
Focused Trend: Defines the analysis direction (Uptrend / Downtrend).
Max Capital per Trade: The maximum amount allocated to purchasing stocks/contracts (in account currency).
Risk per Trade: The maximum amount the user is willing to risk in this single trade (in account currency).
ATR Length: The lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation.
5.2 Intraday Session Data Control
Regular Hours Limitation : If enabled, all daily lookback calculations (for Entry/Stop Loss anchor points) will begin strictly from the first Regular Trading Hours (RTH) bar. This limits the lookback range to the current RTH session, excluding preceding Extended Trading Hours (ETH) data. Only relevant for Intraday charts. Default: False (Off)
5.3 Entry Inputs
Entry Method: Selects the entry price calculation method:
Current Price: Uses the closing price of the current bar as the estimated entry point (Market Entry).
ATR Real Bodies Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum Real Body over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Real Body over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Calculates the Maximum High price over the lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Calculates the Minimum Low price over the lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The number of bars used to calculate the extremes in the ATR-based entry methods (Relevant only for ATR Real Bodies Margin and ATR Bars Margin methods).
ATR Multiplier (Entry): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to determine the estimated Entry Price.
5.4 Risk Inputs (Stop Loss)
Risk Method: Selects the Stop Loss price calculation method.
ATR Current Price Margin :
- Uptrend: Entry Price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Entry Price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Current Bar Margin :
- Uptrend: Current Bar's Low price - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Current Bar's High price + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Bars Margin :
- Uptrend: Lowest Low over lookback period - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: Highest High over lookback period + the calculated safety margin.
ATR Pivot Margin :
- Uptrend: The first confirmed Pivot Low point - the calculated safety margin.
- Downtrend: The first confirmed Pivot High point + the calculated safety margin.
Lookback Bars: The lookback period for finding the extreme price used in the 'ATR Bars Margin' calculation.
ATR Multiplier (Risk): The multiplier applied to the ATR value. The result of the multiplication is the calculated safety margin used to place the estimated Stop Loss. Note: If set to 0, the Stop Loss will be placed exactly at the technical anchor point, provided the Minimum Margin Value is also 0.
Minimum Margin Value: The minimum price value (e.g., $0.01) the Stop Loss margin buffer must be.
Pivot (Left / Right): The number of bars required on either side of the pivot bar for confirmation (relevant only for the ATR Pivot Margin method).
5.5 Reward Inputs (Take Profit)
Show Take Profit 1/2/3: ON/OFF switch to control the visibility of each Take Profit target.
Reward/Risk Ratio 1/ 2/ 3: Defines the R/R ratio for the profit target. Must be ≥1.0.
6. Indicator Status/Warning Messages
In situations where the Stop Loss location cannot be calculated logically and validly, often caused by a mismatch between the configured Focused Trend (Uptrend/Downtrend) and the actual price action, the indicator will display a warning message, explaining the reason and suggesting corrective action.
Status Message 1: Pivot reference unavailable
Condition: The Stop Loss is set to the "ATR Pivot Margin" method, but the anchor point (Pivot) is missing or inaccessible.
Message Displayed: "Pivot reference unavailable. Wait for valid price action, or adjust the Regular Hours Limitation setting or Pivot Left/Right inputs."
Status Message 2: Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe
Condition: The calculated Stop Loss is placed illogically or unsafely relative to the trend direction and the Entry price.
Message Displayed: "Calculated Stop Loss is unsafe for current trend. Wait for valid price action or adjust SL Lookback/Multiplier."
7. Summary
The Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) indicator provides a seamless and systematic approach to trade execution and risk control. By dynamically automating all critical trade parameters—from Entry Price and Stop Loss placement to Position Sizing and Take Profit targets—ARM removes emotional bias and ensures every trade adheres strictly to your predefined risk profile.
Key Benefits:
Systematic Risk Control: Strict enforcement of maximum capital allocation and risk per trade limits.
Adaptivity: Dynamic calculation of prices and quantities based on real-time market data (ATR and Lookback).
Clarity and Trust: Clear on-chart visualization, precise data metrics (16 series), and unambiguous Status/Warning Messages ensure transparency and reliability.
