KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.

SMA DMA Crossing SignalSMA and DMA Crossing Buy Sell Signals
This script implements a Double Moving Average (DMA) strategy, a popular technical analysis technique used by traders to identify trends and potential buy/sell signals in financial markets.
**Description:**
The Double Moving Average strategy involves the calculation of two moving averages – a short-term moving average and a long-term moving average. In this script, we calculate these moving averages as follows:
1. **Short-term DMA (`dmaShort`):**
- Calculated using a 28-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA).
- Represents the shorter-term trend in the price movement.
2. **Long-term DMA (`dmaLong`):**
- Also calculated using a 28-bar SMA.
- Displaced backward by 14 bars (`dmaLong := request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", dmaLong )`), effectively creating a 28-bar SMA with a -14 bar displacement.
- Represents the longer-term trend in the price movement.
**Signals:**
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossing of the short-term DMA over or under the long-term DMA:
- **Buy Signal (`DMA BUY`):** Occurs when the short-term DMA crosses above the long-term DMA (`dmaBuySignal`).
- **Sell Signal (`DMA SELL`):** Occurs when the short-term DMA crosses below the long-term DMA (`dmaSellSignal`).
**How to Use:**
- **Buy Signal:** Consider entering a long position when the short-term DMA crosses above the long-term DMA, indicating a potential uptrend.
- **Sell Signal:** Consider exiting a long position or entering a short position when the short-term DMA crosses below the long-term DMA, indicating a potential downtrend.
This script provides a visual representation of the DMA crossover signals on the chart, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
**Note:** It's important to combine DMA signals with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies for informed trading decisions.

Khaled Tamim's Avellaneda-Stoikov StrategyDescription:
This strategy applies the Avellaneda-Stoikov (A-S) model to generate buy and sell signals for underlying assets based on option pricing theory. The A-S model estimates bid and ask quotes for options contracts considering factors like volatility (sigma), time to expiration (T), and risk aversion (gamma).
Key Concepts:
Avellaneda-Stoikov Model: A mathematical framework for option pricing that incorporates volatility, time decay, and risk tolerance.
Bid-Ask Quotes: The theoretical buy and sell prices for an option contract.
Inventory Management: The strategy tracks its long or short position based on signals.
How it Works:
A-S Model Calculation: The avellanedaStoikov function calculates bid and ask quotes using the underlying asset's closing price, user-defined parameters (gamma, sigma, T, k, and M), and a small fee (adjustable).
Signal Generation: The strategy generates long signals when the closing price falls below the adjusted bid quote and short signals when it exceeds the adjusted ask quote.
Trade Execution: Buy and sell orders are triggered based on the generated signals (long for buy, short for sell).
Inventory Tracking: The strategy's net profit reflects the current inventory level (long or short position).
Customization:
Gamma (γ): Controls risk aversion in the A-S model (higher values imply lower risk tolerance).
Sigma (σ): Represents the underlying asset's expected volatility.
T: Time to expiration for the hypothetical option (defaults to a short-term option).
k: A constant factor in the A-S model calculations.
M: Minimum price buffer for buy/sell signals (prevents excessive churn).
Important Note:
This strategy simulates option pricing behavior for a theoretical option and does not directly trade options contracts. Backtesting results may not reflect actual market conditions.
Further Considerations:
The 0.1% fee is a placeholder and may need adjustment based on real-world trading costs.
Consider using realistic timeframes for T (e.g., expiry for a real option)
Disclaimer: This strategy is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Stochastic Z-Score Oscillator Strategy [TradeDots]The "Stochastic Z-Score Oscillator Strategy" represents an enhanced approach to the original "Buy Sell Strategy With Z-Score" trading strategy. Our upgraded Stochastic model incorporates an additional Stochastic Oscillator layer on top of the Z-Score statistical metrics, which bolsters the affirmation of potential price reversals.
We also revised our exit strategy to when the Z-Score revert to a level of zero. This amendment gives a much smaller drawdown, resulting in a better win-rate compared to the original version.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The strategy operates by calculating the Z-Score of the closing price for each candlestick. This allows us to evaluate how significantly the current price deviates from its typical volatility level.
The strategy first takes the scope of a rolling window, adjusted to the user's preference. This window is used to compute both the standard deviation and mean value. With these values, the strategic model finalizes the Z-Score. This determination is accomplished by subtracting the mean from the closing price and dividing the resulting value by the standard deviation.
Following this, the Stochastic Oscillator is utilized to affirm the Z-Score overbought and oversold indicators. This indicator operates within a 0 to 100 range, so a base adjustment to match the Z-Score scale is required. Post Stochastic Oscillator calculation, we recalibrate the figure to lie within the -4 to 4 range.
Finally, we compute the average of both the Stochastic Oscillator and Z-Score, signaling overpriced or underpriced conditions when the set threshold of positive or negative is breached.
APPLICATION
Firstly, it is better to identify a stable trading pair for this technique, such as two stocks with considerable correlation. This is to ensure conformance with the statistical model's assumption of a normal Gaussian distribution model. The ideal performance is theoretically situated within a sideways market devoid of skewness.
Following pair selection, the user should refine the span of the rolling window. A broader window smoothens the mean, more accurately capturing long-term market trends, while potentially enhancing volatility. This refinement results in fewer, yet precise trading signals.
Finally, the user must settle on an optimal Z-Score threshold, which essentially dictates the timing for buy/sell actions when the Z-Score exceeds with thresholds. A positive threshold signifies the price veering away from its mean, triggering a sell signal. Conversely, a negative threshold denotes the price falling below its mean, illustrating an underpriced condition that prompts a buy signal.
Within a normal distribution, a Z-Score of 1 records about 68% of occurrences centered at the mean, while a Z-Score of 2 captures approximately 95% of occurrences.
The 'cool down period' is essentially the number of bars that await before the next signal generation. This feature is employed to dodge the occurrence of multiple signals in a short period.
DEFAULT SETUP
The following is the default setup on EURAUD 1h timeframe
Rolling Window: 80
Z-Score Threshold: 2.8
Signal Cool Down Period: 5
Stochastic Length: 14
Stochastic Smooth Period: 7
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 40%
FURTHER IMPLICATION
The Stochastic Oscillator imparts minimal impact on the current strategy. As such, it may be beneficial to adjust the weightings between the Z-Score and Stochastic Oscillator values or the scale of Stochastic Oscillator to test different performance outcomes.
Alternative momentum indicators such as Keltner Channels or RSI could also serve as robust confirmations of overbought and oversold signals when used for verification.

JK EMA-WMA ADX Strategy with RSI Reversals and Chandelier ExitThis Pine script is a comprehensive trading strategy indicator for TradingView that combines three different technical analysis techniques: the Modified EMA-WMA ADX Trading Strategy, RSI Reversals, and the Chandelier Exit strategy. Here's a breakdown of what the script does:
Inputs: The script starts by defining several user inputs that allow traders to customize various parameters such as the lengths for EMA, WMA, ADX, RSI, and Chandelier Exit calculations, as well as thresholds for ADX, bullish/bearish RSI levels, and visual options like showing labels and highlighting the current trading state.
EMA-WMA ADX Strategy: The script calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Average Directional Index (ADX) using the user-defined input lengths. It then determines buy and sell signals based on the crossover/crossunder of the EMA and WMA, combined with conditions on the ADX value and its rising/falling state.
RSI Reversals: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated, and its slope is determined over a specified number of periods. Bullish and bearish reversals are identified based on the RSI crossing the user-defined bullish and bearish levels, combined with the slope condition.
Chandelier Exit: The script implements the Chandelier Exit strategy, which involves calculating an Average True Range (ATR) channel based on the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, multiplied by a user-defined multiplier. The channel lines are plotted, and buy/sell signals are generated when the price crosses these lines, indicating a potential trend change.
Plotting: The script plots the EMA, WMA, buy/sell signals for the EMA-WMA ADX strategy, bullish/bearish reversal signals for RSI, and the Chandelier Exit channel lines. It also includes options to show buy/sell labels and highlight the current trading state with colored areas.
Alerts: The script can generate alerts for various conditions, including Chandelier Exit direction changes, buy/sell signals for the Chandelier Exit, and combined buy/sell signals from the EMA-WMA ADX strategy.
Overall, this script aims to provide a comprehensive trading strategy by combining multiple technical analysis techniques and allowing traders to customize various parameters. It can be used as a standalone strategy or as a starting point for further customization and experimentation.
Yeong RRGThe code outlines a trading strategy that leverages Relative Strength (RS) and Rate of Change (RoC) to make trading decisions. Here's a detailed breakdown of the tactic described by the code:
Ticker and Period Selection: The strategy begins by selecting a stock ticker symbol and defining a period (len) for the calculations, which defaults to 14 but can be adjusted by the user.
Stock and Index Data Retrieval: It fetches the closing price (stock_close) of the chosen stock and calculates its 25-period exponential moving average (stock_ema). Additionally, it retrieves the closing price of the S&P 500 Index (index_close), used as a benchmark for calculating Relative Strength.
Relative Strength Calculation: The Relative Strength (rs) is computed by dividing the stock's closing price by the index's closing price, then multiplying by 100 to scale the result. This metric is used to assess the stock's performance relative to the broader market.
Moving RS Ratio and Rate of Change: The strategy calculates a Simple Moving Average (sma) of the RS over the specified period to get the RS Ratio (rs_ratio). It then computes the Rate of Change (roc) of this RS Ratio over the same period to get the RM Ratio (rm_ratio).
Normalization: The RS Ratio and RM Ratio are normalized using a formula that adjusts their values based on the mean and standard deviation of their respective series over the specified window. This normalization process helps in standardizing the indicators, making them easier to interpret and compare.
Indicator Plotting: The normalized RS Ratio (jdk_rs_ratio) and RM Ratio (jdk_rm_ratio) are plotted on the chart with different colors for visual analysis. A horizontal line (hline) at 100 serves as a reference point, indicating a neutral level for the indicators.
State Color Logic: The script includes a logic to determine the state color (statecolor) based on the previous state color and the current values of jdk_rs_ratio and jdk_rm_ratio. This color coding is intended to visually represent different market states: green for bullish, red for bearish, yellow for hold, and blue for watch conditions.
Signal Generation: The strategy generates buy, sell, hold, and watch signals based on the state color and the indicators' values relative to 100. For example, a buy signal is generated when both jdk_rs_ratio and jdk_rm_ratio are above 100, and the background color is set to green to reflect this bullish condition.
Trade Execution: Finally, the strategy executes trades based on the generated signals. A "BUY" trade is entered when a buy signal is present, and it is closed when a sell signal occurs.
Overall, the strategy uses a combination of RS and RoC indicators, normalized for better comparison, to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on the stock's performance relative to the market and its momentum.
How to force strategies fire exit alerts not reversalsPineScript has gone a long way, from very simple and little-capable scripting language to a robust coding platform with reliable execution endpoints. However, this one small intuitivity glitch is still there and is likely to stay, because it is traditionally justified and quite intuitive for significant group of traders. I'm sharing this workaround in response to frequent inquiries about it.
What's the glitch? When setting alerts on strategies to be synchronized with TradingView's Strategy Tester events, using simple alert messages such as "buy" or "sell" based on entry direction seems straightforward by inserting {{strategy.order.action}} into the Create Alert's "Message" field. Because "buy" or "sell" are exactly the strings produced by {{strategy.order.action}} placeholder. However, complications arise when attempting to EXIT positions without reversing, whether triggered by price levels like Stop Loss or Take Profit, or logical conditions to close trades. Those bricks fall apart, because on such events {{strategy.order.action}} sends the same "sell" for exiting buy positions and "buy" for exiting sell positions, instead of something more differentiating like "closebuy" or "closesell". As a result reversal trades are opened, instead of simply closing the open ones.
This convention harkens back to traditional stock market practices, where traders either bought shares to enter positions or sold them to exit. However, modern trading encompasses diverse instruments like CFDs, indices, and Forex, alongside advanced features such as Stop Loss, reshaping the landscape. Despite these advancements, the traditional nomenclature persists.
And is poised to stay on TradingView as well, so we need a workaround to get a simple strategy going. Luckily it is here and is called alert_message . It is a parameter, which needs to be added into each strategy.entry() / strategy.exit() / strategy.close() function call - each call, which causes Strategy Tester to produce entry or exit orders. As in this example script:
line 12: strategy.entry(... alert_message ="buy")
line 14: strategy.entry(... alert_message ="sell")
line 19: strategy.exit(... alert_message ="closebuy")
line 20: strategy.exit(... alert_message ="closesell")
line 24: strategy.close(... alert_message ="closebuy")
line 26: strategy.close(... alert_message ="closesell")
These alert messages are compatible with the Alerts Syntax of TradingConnector - a tool facilitating auto-execution of TradingView alerts in MetaTrader 4 or 5. Yes, simple alert messages like "buy" / "sell" / "closebuy" / "closesell" suffice to carry the execution of simple strategy, without complex JSON files with multiple ids and such. Other parameters can be added (actually plenty), but they are only option and that's not a part of this story :)
Last thing left to do is to replace "Message" in Create Alert popup with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} . This placeholder transmits the string defined in the PineScript alert_message= parameter, as outlined in this publication. With this workaround, executing closing alerts becomes seamless within PineScript strategies on TradingView.

Kzx | RSI + Div + MACDComponents Description:
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Purpose: Measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset.
Implementation: The script allows users to set the length of the RSI calculation and defines overbought and oversold levels, which can be visually represented on the chart. Additional features include options to fill and/or color the background of the chart when overbought or oversold levels are reached.
Divergence (Div):
Purpose: Identifies instances where the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a momentum indicator, such as the RSI in this script. Divergences can signal potential trend reversals.
Implementation: The script provides options for users to define the conditions under which divergences are identified, including the source of price tops/bottoms, detection limits, and the maximum lookback period for divergence analysis. It visually highlights these divergences on the chart.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Purpose: Tracks the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. The MACD is used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points through crossovers.
Implementation: The script calculates the MACD line and its signal line. It plots buy or sell markers based on crossovers between these two lines, indicating potential entry or exit points.
Script Category:
Category: Technical Analysis / Indicators and Strategies
Subcategory: Oscillators (for RSI and MACD) and Trend Analysis (for Divergence)
Usage:
The script is designed for traders and analysts who rely on technical analysis to make informed decisions in the financial markets. By integrating RSI, divergence detection, and MACD analysis into a single script, users can gain a more nuanced understanding of market conditions, potentially improving their trading strategies.
Customization and Visualization:
Users can customize various parameters, including lengths for RSI and MACD, overbought/oversold levels, divergence detection criteria, and visual aspects like colors and marker sizes.
The script provides visual cues directly on the price chart, making it easy to spot potential buy/sell signals, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergences without the need to switch between different indicators.
Trend Signals with TP & SL [UAlgo]The "Trend Signals with TP & SL " indicator is a versatile tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential trend continuation opportunities within financial markets Utilizing a combination of technical indicators and user-defined parameters, this indicator aims to provide clear and actionable signals to aid traders in making informed trading decisions.
🔶 Features:
Trend Continuation Signals : The indicator generates signals to identify potential trend continuation points based on the input parameters such as sensitivity, ATR length, and cloud moving average length.
Take-Profit and Stop-Loss Levels: It calculates and plots three levels of take-profit (1R, 2R, 3R) and stop-loss levels based on the entry price of the trade.
Short Position Example:
Long Position Example:
Visualization: The script visualizes the trend signals, entry points, take-profit levels, and stop-loss levels on the price chart, making it easier for traders to interpret the signals.
Alert System: The indicator includes an alert system that notifies the user when there is a change in trend direction or when a buy/sell signal is generated. The alerts provide essential information such as entry price, take-profit levels, and stop-loss levels.
🔶 Calculations :
Trend Calculation: Trend signals are determined based on the comparison between the current closing price and the upper and lower bounds calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a sensitivity factor. A trend is considered bullish if the closing price is above the upper bound and bearish if it's below the lower bound.
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Calculation: Entry points for long and short positions are identified when there's a change in trend direction.
Stop-loss levels are calculated as a percentage of the entry price, where users can define the percentage based on their risk tolerance.
Take-profit levels are calculated as multiples of the stop-loss level (1R, 2R, 3R).
Cloud Moving Averages: Simple moving averages (SMAs) are calculated for high and low prices over a specified period to create a "cloud" visualization on the chart.
MACD Clouds: Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is used to determine the market's momentum and trend direction. Positive and negative clouds are plotted based on the MACD line and its signal line, indicating potential bullish or bearish trends.
Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are generated based on specific conditions such as RSI, CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator), and pivot points.
Signals are triggered when certain criteria are met, indicating potential opportunities for entering or exiting trades.

The SuperTrend indicator to determine the underlying price trend (uptrend vs. downtrend).
Average True Range (ATR) to assess recent market volatility.
Strength Check: Incorporates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to measure if the stock is overbought or oversold relative to the broader index.
Logic: (Note: This description assumes the logic you implemented – adapt if your conditions differ)
The indicator's core logic suggests:
Buy Signal: RSI oversold, market in an uptrend, increased volatility, and price above a short-term moving average.
Sell Signal: RSI overbought, market in a downtrend, increased volatility, and price below a short-term moving average.
How to Use
Add the indicator to a chart of the stock you want to analyze. It will appear in a separate pane below the price chart.
Customize input settings if desired (lengths of RSI, SuperTrend, etc.). Consider aligning these with your timeframe and the characteristics of the specific stock and index.
Observation: Look for green (buy), red (sell), and blue (hold) signals.
Important Notes
Confirmation Tool: This indicator works best in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Market-Specific: The underlying logic may need to be tailored further for specific stock and index combinations to provide the most reliable signals.
Disclaimer: Financial markets are risky. Thoroughly backtest and understand the risk profile of any strategy relying on this indicator before using real capital.
Zigzag Fibonacci Golden Zone [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Zigzag Fibonacci Golden Zone" aims to identify potential trend pullback points by utilizing a combination of zigzag patterns and Fibonacci "Golden Zone (0.618 - 0.786)" retracement levels. It plots zigzag lines on the price chart, highlighting significant swing highs and swing lows, and overlays Fibonacci retracement levels to indicate potential support and resistance zones. Additionally, it provides options to display buy and sell signals based on specific criteria.
🔶 Key Features:
Zigzag Lines: The indicator plots zigzag lines on the price chart, marking significant swing highs and swing lows. These lines help traders visualize the direction and magnitude of price swings.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels: The indicator overlays Fibonacci retracement levels on the chart, indicating potential support and resistance levels. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are commonly used by traders to identify reversal points.
Fibonacci occurs again when a new zigzag low or high is created :
Before new zigzag low pivot appears,
After new Zigzag low pivot appears,
As you see new fibonacci created after new pivot found also price bounced from retracement zone.
Customization Options: Traders can customize various parameters of the indicator, such as the length of the zigzag pattern, color preferences for different elements, and visibility of price labels and buy/sell signals.
Buy/Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on predefined criteria, such as price movements relative to Fibonacci levels and other market conditions. These signals can help traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.

ORB Algo | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ORB Algo indicator! ORB stands for "Opening Range Breakout" which is a common trading strategy. The indicator can analyze the market trend in the current session and give "Buy / Sell", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" signals. For more information about the analyzing process of the indicator, you can read "How Does It Work ?" section of the description.
Features of the new ORB Algo indicator :
Buy & Sell Signals
Up To 3 Take Profit Signals
Stop-Loss Signals
Alerts for Buy / Sell, Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
Customizable Algoritm
Session Dashboard
Backtesting Dashboard
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
This indicator works best in 1-minute timeframe. The idea is that the trend of the current session can be forecasted by analyzing the market for a while after the session starts. However, each market has it's own dynamics and the algorithm will need fine-tuning to get the best performance possible. So, we've implemented a "Backtesting Dashboard" that shows the past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with your current settings. Always keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results.
Here are the steps of the algorithm explained briefly :
1. The algorithm follows and analyzes the first 30 minutes (can be adjusted) of the session.
2. Then, algorithm checks for breakouts of the opening range's high or low.
3. If a breakout happens in a bullish or a bearish direction, the algorithm will now check for retests of the breakout. Depending on the sensitivity setting, there must be 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 failed retests for the breakout to be considered as reliable.
4. If the breakout is reliable, the algorithm will give an entry signal.
5. After the position entry, algorithm will now wait for Take-Profit or Stop-Loss zones and signal if any of them occur.
If you wonder how does the indicator find Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones, you can check the "Settings" section of the description.
🚩UNIQUENESS
While there are indicators that show the opening range of the session, they come short with features like indicating breakouts, entries, and Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones. We are also aware of that different stock markets have different dynamics, and tuning the algorithm for different markets is really important for better results, so we decided to make the algorithm fully customizable. Besides all that, our indicator contains a detailed backtesting dashboard, so you can see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker. While past performance does not yield any guarantee for future results, we believe that a backtesting dashboard is necessary for tuning the algorithm. Another strength of this indicator is that there are multiple options for detection of Take-Profit and Stop-Loss zones, which the trader can select one of their liking.
⚙️SETTINGS
Keep in mind that best chart timeframe for this indicator to work is the 1-minute timeframe.
TP = Take-Profit
SL = Stop-Loss
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
OR = Opening Range
ATR = Average True Range
1. Algorithm
ORB Timeframe -> This setting determines the timeframe that the algorithm will analyze the market after a new session begins before giving any signals. It's important to experiment with this setting and find the best option that suits the current ticker for the best performance. More volatile stocks will often require this setting to be larger, while more stabilized stocks may have this setting shorter.
Sensitivity -> This setting determines how much failed retests are needed to take a position entry. Higher senstivity means that less retests are needed to consider the breakout as reliable. If you think that the current ticker makes strong movements in a bullish & bearish direction after a breakout, you should set this setting higher. If you think the opposite, meaning that the ticker does not decide the trend right after a breakout, this setting show be lower.
(High = 0 Retests, Medium = 1 Retest, Low = 2 Retests, Lowest = 3 Retests)
Breakout Condition -> The condition for the algorithm to detect breakouts.
Close = Bar needs to close higher than the OR High Line in a bullish breakout, or lower than the OR Low Line in a bearish breakout. EMA = The EMA of the bar must be higher / lower than OR Lines instead of the close price.
TP Method -> The method for the algorithm to use when determining TP zones.
Dynamic = This TP method essentially tries to find the bar that price starts declining the current trend and going to the other direction, and puts a TP zone there. To achieve this, it uses an EMA line, and when the close price of a bar crosses the EMA line, It's a TP spot.
ATR = In this TP method, instead of a dynamic approach the TP zones are pre-determined using the ATR of the entry bar. This option is generally for traders who just want to know their TP spots beforehand while trading. Selecting this option will also show TP zones at the ORB Dashboard.
"Dynamic" option generally performs better, while the "ATR" method is safer to use.
EMA Length -> This setting determines the length of the EMA line used in "Dynamic TP method" and "EMA Breakout Condition". This is completely up to the trader's choice, though the default option should generally perform well. You might want to experiment with this setting and find the optimal length for the current ticker.
Stop-Loss -> Algorithm will place the Stop-Loss zone using setting.
Safer = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR High for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR Low for a bearish entry.
Balanced = The SL zone will be placed in the center of OR High & OR Low
Risky = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR Low for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR High for a bearish entry.
Adaptive SL -> This option only takes effect if the first TP zone is hit.
Enabled = After the 1st TP zone is hit, the SL zone will be moved to the entry price, essentially making the position risk-free.
Disabled = The SL zone will never change.
2. ORB Dashboard
ORB Dashboard shows the information about the current session.
3. ORB Backtesting
ORB Backtesting Dashboard allows you to see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with current settings.
Total amount of days that can be backtested depends on your TV subscription.
Backtesting Exit Ratios -> You can select how much of percent your entry will be closed at any TP zone while backtesting. For example, %90, %5, %5 means that %90 of the position will be closed at the first TP zone, %5 of it will be closed at the 2nd TP zone, and %5 of it will be closed at the last TP zone.

MACD_RSI_trend_followingINFO:
This indicator can be used to build-up a strategy for trading of assets which are currently in trending phase.
My preference is to use it on slowly moving assets like GOLD and on higher timeframes, but practice may show that we find more usefull cases.
This script uses two indicators - MACD and RSI, as the timeframe that those are extracted for is configurable (defaults with the Chart TF, but can be any other selected by the user).
The strategy has the following simple idea - buy if any if the conditions below is true:
The selected TF MACD line crosses above the signal line and the TF RSI is above the user selected trigger value
The selected TF MACD line is above the signal line and the TF RSI crosses above the user selected trigger value
Once we're in position we wait for the selected TF MACD line to cross below the signal line, and then we set a SL at the low of that bar
DETAILS and USAGE:
In the current implementation I find two possible use cases for the indicator:
as a stand-alone indicator on the chart which can also fire alerts that can help to determine if we want to manually enter/exit trades based on them
can be used to connect to the Signal input of the TTS (TempalteTradingStrategy) by jason5480 in order to backtest it, thus effectively turning it into a strategy (instructions below in TTS CONNECTIVITY section)
In the example below we see a position opened at the bar after the buy indicator from the script has been triggered, and then later after the SL indicator from the script has been triggered a SL has been set on the lower wick of the closing candle, and the position eventually got closed once the price hit that level. Note that most of the drawing on the example snapshot below are from the TTS indicator following the buy/sell/SL conditions themseves:
Trading period can be selected from the indicator itself to limit to more interesting periods.
Arrow indications are drawn on the chart to indicate the trading conditions met in the script - green arrow for a buy signal indication and orange for LTF crossunder to indicate setting of SL.
SETTINGS:
Leaving all of the settings as in vanilla use case, as both the MACD and RSI indicator's settings follow the default ones for the stand-alone indicators themselves.
The start-end date is a time filter that can be extermely usefull when backtesting different time periods.
Pesonal preference is using the script on a D/W timeframe, while the indicator is configured to use Monthly chart.
The default value of the RSI filter is left to 50, which can be changed. I.e. if the RSI is above 50 we have a regime filter based on the MACD criteria.
EXTERNAL LIBRARIES:
The script uses a couple of external libraries:
HeWhoMustNotBeNamed/enhanced_ta/14 - collection of TA indicators
jason5480/tts_convention/3 - more details about the Template Trading Strategy below
I would like to highly appreciate and credit the work of both HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and jason5480 for providing them to the community.
TTS SETTINGS (NEEDED IF USED TO BACKTEST WITH TTS):
The TempalteTradingStrategy is a strategy script developed in Pine by jason5480, which I recommend for quick turn-around of testing different ideas on a proven and tested framework
I cannot give enough credit to the developer for the efforts put in building of the infrastructure, so I advice everyone that wants to use it first to get familiar with the concept and by checking
by checking jason5480's profile www.tradingview.com
The TTS itself is extremely functional and have a lot of properties, so its functionality is beyond the scope of the current script -
Again, I strongly recommend to be thoroughly epxlored by everyone that plans on using it.
In the nutshell it is a script that can be feed with buy/sell signals from an external indicator script and based on many configuration options it can determine how to execute the trades.
The TTS has many settings that can be applied, so below I will cover only the ones that differ from the default ones, at least according to my testing - do your own research, you may find something even better :)
The current/latest version that I've been using as of writing and testing this script is TTSv48
Settings which differ from the default ones:
from - False (time filter is from the indicator script itself)
Deal Conditions Mode - External (take enter/exit conditions from an external script)
🔌Signal 🛈➡ - MACD_RSI_trend_following: 🔌Signal to TTSv48 (this is the output from the indicator script, according to the TTS convention)
Sat/Sun - true (for crypto, in order to trade 24/7)
Order Type - STOP (perform stop order)
Distance Method - HHLL (HigherHighLowerLow - in order to set the SL according to the strategy definition from above)
The next are just personal preferenes, you can feel free to experiment according to your trading style
Take Profit Targets - 0 (either 100% in or out, no incremental stepping in or out of positions)
Dist Mul|Len Long/Short- 10 (make sure that we don't close on profitable trades by any reason)
Quantity Method - EQUITY (personal backtesting preference is to consider each backtest as a separate portfolio, so determine the position size by 100% of the allocated equity size)
Equity % - 100 (note above)
Dual_MACD_trendingINFO:
This indicator is useful for trending assets, as my preference is for low-frequency trading, thus using BTCUSD on 1D/1W chart
In the current implementation I find two possible use cases for the indicator:
- as a stand-alone indicator on the chart which can also fire alerts that can help to determine if we want to manually enter/exit trades based on the signals from it (1D/1W is good for non-automated trading)
- can be used to connect to the Signal input of the TTS (TempalteTradingStrategy) by jason5480 in order to backtest it, thus effectively turning it into a strategy (instructions below in TTS CONNECTIVITY section)
Trading period can be selected from the indicator itself to limit to more interesting periods.
Arrow indications are drawn on the chart to indicate the trading conditions met in the script - light green for HTF crossover, dark green for LTF crossover and orange for LTF crossunder.
Note that the indicator performs best in trending assets and markets, and it is advisable to use additional indicators to filter the trading conditions when market/asset is expected to move sideways.
DETAILS:
It uses a couple of MACD indicators - one from the current timeframe and one from a higher timeframe, as the crossover/crossunder cases of the MACD line and the signal line indicate the potential entry/exit points.
The strategy has the following flow:
- If the weekly MACD is positive (MACD line is over the signal line) we have a trading window.
- If we have a trading window, we buy when the daily macd line crosses AND closes above the signal line.
- If we are in a position, we await the daily MACD to cross AND close under the signal line, and only then place a stop loss under the wick of that closing candle.
The user can select both the higher (HTF) and lower (LTF) timeframes. Preferably the lower timeframe should be the one that the Chart is on for better visualization.
If one to decide to use the indicator as a strategy, it implements the following buy and sell criterias, which are feed to the TTS, but can be also manually managed via adding alerts from this indicator.
Since usually the LTF is preceeding the crossover compared to the HTF, then my interpretation of the strategy and flow that it follows is allowing two different ways to enter a trade:
- crossover (and bar close) of the macd over the signal line in the HIGH TIMEFRAME (no need to look at the LOWER TIMEFRMAE)
- crossover (and bar close) of the macd over the signal line in the LOW TIMEFRAME, as in this case we need to check also that the macd line is over the signal line for the HIGH TIMEFRAME as well (like a regime filter)
The exit of the trade is based on the lower timeframe MACD only, as we create a stop loss equal to the lower wick of the bar, once the macd line crosses below the signal line on that timeframe
SETTINGS:
All of the indicator's settings are for the vanilla/general case.
User can set all of the MACD parameters for both the higher and lower (current) timeframes, currently left to default of the MACD stand-alone indicator itself.
The start-end date is a time filter that can be extermely usefull when backtesting different time periods.

EXAMPLES:
If used as a stand-alone indicator, the green arrows on the bottom will represent:
- light green - MACD line crossover signal line in the HTF
- darker green - MACD line crossover signal line in the LTF
- orange - MACD line crossunder signal line in the LTF
I recommend enabling the alerts from the script to cover those cases.
If used as an input to the TTS, we'll get more decorations on the chart from the TTS itself.
In the example below we open a trade on the next day of LTF crossover, then a few days later a crossunder in the LTF occurs, so we set a SL at the low of the wick of this day. Few days later the price doesn't recover and hits that SL, so the position is closed.
Smooth Trail V2Please, enjoy your new game-changing tradingview indicator, may I present to you: the Smooth Trail (second version), with an updated script and open source script to let anyone use it freely.
The Smooth Trail is an indicator that works just like a super trend, but it has a completely different usage and potential.
The super trend works by following the price and displaying a line that uses the ATR to determine how far it has to be from the actual price, and many new traders like to use the indicator thanks to its easy readability and the buy-sell signals that it shows, unfortunately, this is not the best usage of the indicator and it often leads to losing money on the markets.
The main characteristic that this indicator has is that, not like the normal super trend, it follows the trend better adapting itself in the retracement phases.
The second feature that dictates the best usage of this indicator, is that it shows a zone in which to buy or sell to have the best risk-to-reward ratio.
The indicator also works as the dynamic level of support and resistance and can be used best for trend-following strategies to maximize profits.
The first input, the multiplier, is used to determine how many times the ATR has to be added or subtracted in order to plot the indicator.
The second input, the length, is used to determine how many candles the indicator and the ATR have to consider for the calculation.
The third and last input, the zone width, is used to calculate the width of the zone displayed by the indicator, and is the factor that will be multiplied by the ATR, this means that if you leave the settings as default, the zone will be 1 ATR or 34 candle width.
This indicator is great to use in confluence with other indicators or with various candlestick patterns.
