W%R Zone Scalper[BullByte] v1.0W%R Zone Scalper Strategy - The Definitive Deep Dive
1. Introduction: The Philosophy Behind the Strategy
This script, W%R Zone Scalper , is not just another Williams %R-based trading system—it is a refined, multi-filtered scalping engine designed to maximize edge in trending markets while minimizing false signals in choppy conditions . Unlike most basic %R strategies that blindly trade crossovers, this system introduces a sophisticated confluence of trend, volatility, and momentum filters , making it a high-probability scalper for intraday traders .
What Makes This Script Different?
✅ Originality: Most %R strategies rely solely on overbought/oversold levels, leading to whipsaws in ranging markets. This script intelligently combines:
- Trend confirmation (MA, Supertrend)
- Volatility filters (BB Width, Choppiness Index)
- Volume validation (to ensure real participation)
- ADX trend strength (to avoid weak, fake trends)
✅ Smart Trade Execution:
- Not just %R crossovers —entries are only taken when multiple filters align, reducing noise.
- Optional ATR-based SL/TP for disciplined risk management.
- Dashboard integration for real-time trade monitoring.
✅ Adaptability:
- Works on crypto, forex, and stocks (optimized for high-liquidity assets like BTC).
- Scalable from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades (adjust filters accordingly).
2. Core Components: A Surgical Breakdown
A. Williams %R - The Trigger Mechanism
- Default Settings:
- Length = 14 (optimal balance between sensitivity and reliability).
- Long Entry : Cross above -80 (oversold bounce with momentum).
- Short Entry : Cross below -20 (overbought rejection).
Why This Matters:
- Unlike RSI or Stochastic, %R is more aggressive in detecting reversals, making it ideal for scalping fast moves.
- However, raw %R signals are noisy—hence the need for additional filters.
B. The Moving Average (MA) - Trend Filter
- Purpose: Ensures trades are only taken in the direction of the broader trend.
- Types Available:
- SMA (Simple MA) – Smooth but laggy.
- EMA (Exponential MA) – Faster, default choice.
- WMA (Weighted MA) – More responsive to recent prices.
- HMA (Hull MA) – Minimal lag, excellent for scalping.
Entry Logic:
- Long : Price must be above MA (confirms uptrend).
- Short : Price must be below MA (confirms downtrend).
Why This Matters:
- Prevents counter-trend trades , which are high-risk in scalping.
- Works as a dynamic support/resistance .
C. Advanced Filters - The Edge Enhancers
1. Choppiness Index (CI) - Avoiding Sideways Markets
- Default:
- Length = 12
- Threshold = 38.2 (below = trending, above = choppy).
Why This Matters:
- Eliminates false signals in ranging markets (where %R crossovers fail most).
- Inspired by market cycle theory—only trades when volatility is directional.
2. ADX (Average Directional Index) - Trend Strength
- Default:
- Length = 14
- Threshold = 25 (only trade if ADX > 25 = strong trend).
Why This Matters:
- Many traders ignore ADX and get fake breakouts—this ensures trades happen only in high-momentum conditions.
3. Volume Filter - Confirming Real Moves
- Logic: Volume must be above its 50-period MA.
- Why This Matters:
- Low-volume breakouts often fail—this ensures institutional participation.
4. Bollinger Band Width (BBW) - Volatility Check
- Logic: BBW must be above its moving average (expanding volatility = good for scalping).
Why This Matters:
- Avoids low-volatility traps where price moves are insignificant.
5. Supertrend - Dynamic Trend Confirmation
- Logic:
- Longs : Price must be above Supertrend line.
- Shorts : Price must be below Supertrend line.
Why This Matters:
- Acts as a secondary trend filter , reducing whipsaws.

3. Risk Management - Protecting Capital
A. Position Sizing (Flexible & Adaptive)
- Default: 30% of equity per trade(aggressive but adjustable).
- Initial Capital: $1,000(example—modify based on your account size).
B. Stop Loss & Take Profit (ATR-Based)
- SL = 1.5x ATR (protects against sudden reversals).
- TP = 2x ATR (locks in profits before pullbacks).
Why ATR?
- Dynamic adjustment —wider in volatile markets, tighter in calm ones.
C. Manual Adjustments Required
- Commission: Default 0.1% (adjust per your broker).
- Leverage: Not hardcoded —apply based on your risk tolerance.
4. Optimal Time Frame & Asset Selection
- Best for: 5M - 15M charts(scalping).
- Also works on: 1H-4H(swing trades with adjusted filters).
- Best Assets:
- High-liquidity cryptos (BTC, ETH, SOL)
- Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD)
- High-beta stocks (TSLA, NVDA)
5. The Dashboard - Real-Time Trade Intelligence
- PnL Tracking (profit/loss in $ and %).
- Position Status (Long/Short/Flat).
- Filter Status (which ones are active).
- Key Indicators (%R, MA, Volume).
Why This Matters:
- No guesswork—all critical info in one place.
6. Strong Disclaimer
⚠️ This is not financial advice. Trading carries risk of loss.
- Backtest thoroughly before live trading.
- Start with small capital to validate performance.
- Modify SL/TP, leverage, and position sizing based on your risk profile.
- The developer is not liable for any losses incurred.
7. Why This Strategy Stands Out
Most %R strategies fail in real markets because they ignore:
❌ Trend context (trading reversals blindly).
❌ Volatility cycles (getting chopped up in sideways action).
❌ Volume confirmation (falling for fake breakouts).
This script solves those problems by:
✅ Only trading when multiple high-probability factors align.
✅ Using adaptive risk management (ATR-based SL/TP).
✅ Providing a real-time dashboard for decision-making.
8.Important Note on Backtesting & Customization
The performance results displayed with this script are based on:
- Asset BTC/USD
- Timeframe : 5-minute chart
- Key Filters Enabled :
- Moving Average (Trend Confirmation)
- Choppiness Index (Sideways Market Filter)
- Volume (Participation Validation)
Your Trading Approach May Vary
This configuration represents just one possible way to deploy the strategy. You can:
- Test alternative settings (adjust lengths, thresholds, or filters)
- Apply to different assets (cryptos, forex pairs, stocks)
- Experiment with timeframes (1m for ultra-scalping, 15m/1H for swing trades)
Critical Reminder
Always conduct your own forward testing before live trading. Market conditions change, and past performance never guarantees future results.
All the best!

Uwen FX: UWEN StrategyThis Pine Script defines a trading indicator called "Uwen FX: UWEN Strategy" Where ideas coming from Arab Syaukani and modified by Fiki Hafana. It combines a CCI-based T3 Smoothed Indicator with a MACD overlay. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
Key Components of the Script:
1. CCI (Commodity Channel Index) with T3 Smoothing
Uses a T3 smoothing algorithm on the CCI to generate a smoother momentum signal. The smoothing formula is applied iteratively using weighted averages. The final result (xccir) is plotted as a histogram, colored green for bullish signals and red for bearish signals.
2. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The MACD is scaled to match the range of the smoothed CCI for better visualization. Signal Line and MACD Line are plotted if showMACD is enabled. The normalization ensures that MACD values align with the CCI-based indicator.
3. Bar Coloring for Trend Indication
Green bars indicate a positive trend (pos = 1).
Red bars indicate a negative trend (pos = -1).
Blue bars appear when the trend is neutral.
How It Can Be Used:
Buy Signal: When the xccir (smoothed CCI) turns green, indicating bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: When xccir turns red, indicating bearish momentum.
MACD Confirmation: Helps confirm the trend direction by aligning with xccir.

John Carter's Buy/Sell Scalper V2After a couple adjustments, double signals are now being ignore.
Here's how this script works:
Based entirely on a John Carter scalping setup, a candle will be painted purple if the next two closes are in a opposite direction of the past trend.
Green triangles indicates that the reversal is bullish, red triangles indicates that the reversal is bearish. Both are entry/exit points if you want to follow this set up.
Personally, I find this setup to work best in trending days, but it does a great job on choppy days if you use it as a confirmation.
John Carter's Buy/Sell Scalper (with alert)Basic indicator with signals. Con: Presents multiple signals in the same direction (should be ignored, according with the strategy).
