HTC peppermint_07 CCI w signal + s&r RSI
This CCI version enhances the traditional Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by integrating a dynamically calculated Relative Strength Index (RSI) that acts as support and resistance as shown in the screenshot, it can add as a confirmation to the divergence found in the CCI.
Key Features:
Enhanced CCI: The primary plot (black line but customizable) represents the standard CCI, providing insight into price momentum and potential overbought/oversold conditions.
Dynamic RSI Support/Resistance: The upper and lower bands (medium cyan line) are derived from a smoothed RSI, dynamically adjusting to the current market volatility. These bands serve as potential support and resistance levels for the CCI as additional confirmation for the divergence.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: The traditional overbought (+100) and oversold (-100) levels for CCI are marked with horizontal dotted lines.
Benefits:
Improved Entry/Exit Signals: Combining CCI with dynamic RSI support/resistance may offer more precise trading signals compared to using CCI alone.
Dynamic Adaptation: The RSI-based bands adapt to changing market conditions, potentially providing more relevant support and resistance levels.
Divergence Confirmation: dynamic s&r RSI adds confluence to potential trend reversals identified by the CCI.
Potential Usage:
Traders might use this indicator to:
Identify potential overbought/oversold conditions using the CCI and its relationship to the dynamic RSI bands.
Look for breakouts beyond the dynamic support/resistance levels as potential entry points.
Confirm potential trend reversals using RSI divergence (cyan and red label above divergence) signals.
Further Development Considerations:
Customizable Parameters: Allowing users to adjust the CCI length, RSI periods, and smoothing factors would enhance flexibility.
Alert Conditions: Adding alerts for breakouts, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergence signals would improve usability.
Backtesting: Thoroughly backtesting the indicator's performance across different assets and timeframes is essential before using it for live trading.

Fibonacci-Only StrategyFibonacci-Only Strategy
This script is a custom trading strategy designed for traders who leverage Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential trade entries and exits. The strategy is versatile, allowing users to trade across multiple timeframes, with built-in options for dynamic stop loss, trailing stops, and take profit levels.
Key Features:
Custom Fibonacci Levels:
This strategy calculates three specific Fibonacci retracement levels: 19%, 82.56%, and the reverse 19% level. These levels are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance where price reversals or breaks might occur.
The Fibonacci levels are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices within a 100-bar period, making them dynamic and responsive to recent market conditions.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:
Touch Entry: The script enters long or short positions when the price touches specific Fibonacci levels and confirms the move with a bullish (for long) or bearish (for short) candle.
Break Entry (Optional): If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script can also enter positions when the price breaks through Fibonacci levels, providing more aggressive entry opportunities.
Stop Loss Management:
The script offers flexible stop loss settings. Users can choose between a fixed percentage stop loss or an ATR-based stop loss, which adjusts based on market volatility.
The ATR (Average True Range) stop loss is multiplied by a user-defined factor, allowing for tailored risk management based on market conditions.
Trailing Stop Mechanism:
The script includes an optional trailing stop feature, which adjusts the stop loss level as the market moves in favor of the trade. This helps lock in profits while allowing the trade to run if the trend continues.
The trailing stop is calculated as a percentage of the difference between the entry price and the current market price.
Multiple Take Profit Levels:
The strategy calculates seven take profit levels, each at incremental percentages above (for long trades) or below (for short trades) the entry price. This allows for gradual profit-taking as the market moves in the trade's favor.
Each take profit level can be customized in terms of the percentage of the position to be closed, providing precise control over exit strategies.
Strategy Backtesting and Results:
Realistic Backtesting:
The script has been backtested with realistic account sizes, commission rates, and slippage settings to ensure that the results are applicable to actual trading scenarios.
The backtesting covers various timeframes and markets to ensure the strategy's robustness across different trading environments.
Default Settings:
The script is published with default settings that have been optimized for general use. These settings include a 15-minute timeframe, a 1.0% stop loss, a 2.0 ATR multiplier for stop loss, and a 1.5% trailing stop.
Users can adjust these settings to better fit their specific trading style or the market they are trading.
How It Works:
Long Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a long position when the price touches the 19% Fibonacci level (from high to low) or the reverse 19% level (from low to high) and confirms the move with a bullish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a long position when the price breaks below the 19% Fibonacci level and then moves back up, confirming the break with a bullish candle.
Short Entry Conditions:
The strategy enters a short position when the price touches the 82.56% Fibonacci level and confirms the move with a bearish candle.
If the "Use Break Strategy" option is enabled, the script will also enter a short position when the price breaks above the 82.56% Fibonacci level and then moves back down, confirming the break with a bearish candle.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic:
The stop loss for each trade is calculated based on the selected method (fixed percentage or ATR-based). The strategy then manages the trade by either trailing the stop or taking profit at predefined levels.
The take profit levels are set at increments of 0.5% above or below the entry price, depending on whether the position is long or short. The script gradually exits the trade as these levels are hit, securing profits while minimizing risk.
Usage:
For Fibonacci Traders:
This script is ideal for traders who rely on Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential trade entries and exits. The script automates the process, allowing traders to focus on market analysis and decision-making.
For Trend and Swing Traders:
The strategy's flexibility in handling both touch and break entries makes it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies. The multiple take profit levels allow traders to capture profits in trending markets while managing risk.
Important Notes:
Originality: This script uniquely combines Fibonacci retracement levels with dynamic stop loss management and multiple take profit levels. It is not just a combination of existing indicators but a thoughtful integration designed to enhance trading performance.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk, and it is crucial to test this script in a demo account or through backtesting before applying it to live trading. Users should ensure that the settings align with their individual risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals [Bitwardex]⚙️🧠Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals
🔷Overview
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals is a Pine Script™ v6 indicator designed to visualize market trends and generate signals through a combination of volatility clustering, Gaussian smoothing, and adaptive trend calculations. Built as an overlay indicator, it integrates advanced techniques inspired by machine learning concepts, such as K-Means clustering, to adapt to changing market conditions. The script is highly customizable, includes a backtesting module, and supports alert conditions, making it suitable for traders exploring trend-based strategies and developers studying volatility-driven indicator design.
🔷Functionality
The indicator performs the following core functions:
• Volatility Clustering: Uses K-Means clustering to categorize market volatility into high, medium, and low states, adjusting trend sensitivity accordingly.
• Trend Calculation: Computes adaptive trend lines (SmartTrend) based on volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX filters.
• Signal Generation: Identifies potential buy and sell points through trend line crossovers and directional confirmation.
• Backtesting Module: Tracks trade outcomes based on the SmartTrend3 value, displaying win rate and total trades.
• Visualization: Plots trend lines with gradient colors and optional signal markers (bullish 🐮 and bearish 🐻).
• Alerts: Provides configurable alerts for trend shifts and volatility state changes.
🔷Technical Methodology
Volatility Clustering with K-Means
The indicator employs a K-Means clustering algorithm to classify market volatility, measured via the Average True Range (ATR), into three distinct clusters:
• Data Collection: Gathers ATR values over a user-defined training period (default: 100 bars).
• Centroid Initialization: Sets initial centroids at the highest, lowest, and midpoint ATR values within the training period.
• Iterative Clustering: Assigns ATR data points to the nearest centroid, recalculates centroid means, and repeats until convergence.
• Dynamic Adjustment: Assigns a volatility state (high, medium, or low) based on the closest centroid, adjusting the trend factor (e.g., tighter for high volatility, wider for low volatility).
This approach allows the indicator to adapt its sensitivity to varying market conditions, providing a data-driven foundation for trend calculations.
🔷Gaussian Smoothing
To enhance signal clarity and reduce noise, the indicator applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to:
• RSI: Smooths the Relative Strength Index (calculated from OHLC4) to filter short-term fluctuations.
• SmartTrend: Smooths the primary trend line for a more stable output.
The Gaussian kernel uses a sigma value derived from the user-defined smoothing length, ensuring mathematically consistent noise reduction.
🔷SmartTrend Calculation
The pineSmartTrend function is the core of the indicator, producing three trend lines:
• SmartTrend: The primary trend line, calculated using a volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX conditions.
• SmartTrend2: A secondary trend line with a wider factor (base factor * 1.382) for signal confirmation.
SmartTrend3: The average of SmartTrend and SmartTrend2, used for plotting and backtesting.
Key components of the calculation include:
• Dynamic Standard Deviation: Scales based on ATR relative to its 50-period smoothed average, with multipliers (1.0 to 1.4) applied according to volatility thresholds.
• RSI and ADX Filters: Requires RSI > 50 for bullish trends or < 50 for bearish trends, alongside ADX > 15 and rising to confirm trend strength.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands around price action, adjusted by the volatility cluster’s dynamic factor.
🔷Signal Generation
The generate_signals function generates signals as follows:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses above SmartTrend2 and the price is above SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses below SmartTrend2 and the price is below SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
Directional Logic: Tracks trend direction to filter out conflicting signals, ensuring alignment with the broader market context.
Signals are visualized as small circles with bullish (🐮) or bearish (🐻) emojis, with an option to toggle visibility.
🔷Backtesting
The get_backtest function evaluates signal outcomes using the SmartTrend3 value (rather than closing prices) to align with the trend-based methodology.
It tracks:
• Total Trades: Counts completed long and short trades.
• Win Rate: Calculates the percentage of trades where SmartTrend3 moves favorably (higher for longs, lower for shorts).
Position Management: Closes opposite positions before opening new ones, simulating a single-position trading system.
Results are displayed in a table at the top-right of the chart, showing win rate and total trades. Note that backtest results reflect the indicator’s internal logic and should not be interpreted as predictive of real-world performance.
🔷Visualization and Alerts
• Trend Lines: SmartTrend3 is plotted with gradient colors reflecting trend direction and volatility cluster, accompanied by a secondary line for visual clarity.
• Signal Markers: Optional buy/sell signals are plotted as small circles with customizable colors.
• Alerts: Supports alerts for:
• Bullish and bearish trend shifts (confirmed on bar close).
Transitions to high, medium, or low volatility states.
🔷Input Parameters
• ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation, used in volatility clustering.
• Period (default: 21): Common period for RSI, ADX, and standard deviation calculations.
• Base SmartTrend Factor (default: 2.0): Base multiplier for volatility-adjusted bands.
• SmartTrend Smoothing Length (default: 10): Length for Gaussian smoothing of the trend line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals? (default: true): Enables/disables signal markers.
• Bullish/Bearish Color: Customizable colors for trend lines and signals.
🔷Usage Instructions
• Apply to Chart: Add the indicator to any TradingView chart.
• Configure Inputs: Adjust parameters to align with your trading style or market conditions (e.g., shorter ATR length for faster markets).
• Interpret Output:
• Trend Lines: Use SmartTrend3’s direction and color to gauge market bias.
• Signals: Monitor bullish (🐮) and bearish (🐻) markers for potential entry/exit points.
• Backtest Table: Review win rate and total trades to understand the indicator’s behavior in historical data.
• Set Alerts: Configure alerts for trend shifts or volatility changes to support manual or automated trading workflows.
• Combine with Analysis: Use the indicator alongside other tools or market context, as it is designed to complement, not replace, comprehensive analysis.
🔷Technical Notes
• Data Requirements: Requires at least 100 bars for accurate volatility clustering. Ensure sufficient historical data is loaded.
• Market Suitability: The indicator is designed for trend detection and may perform differently in ranging or volatile markets due to its reliance on RSI and ADX filters.
• Backtesting Scope: The backtest module uses SmartTrend3 values, which may differ from price-based outcomes. Results are for informational purposes only.
• Computational Intensity: The K-Means clustering and Gaussian smoothing may increase processing time on lower timeframes or with large datasets.
🔷For Developers
The script is modular, well-commented, encouraging reuse and modification with proper attribution.
Key functions include:
• gaussianSmooth: Applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to any data series.
• pineSmartTrend: Computes adaptive trend lines with volatility and momentum filters.
• getDynamicFactor: Adjusts trend sensitivity based on volatility clusters.
• get_backtest: Evaluates signal performance using SmartTrend3.
Developers can extend these functions for custom indicators or strategies, leveraging the volatility clustering and smoothing methodologies. The K-Means implementation is particularly useful for adaptive volatility analysis.
🔷Limitations
• The indicator is not predictive and should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.

Alans Date Range CalculatorOverview
Setting a date range for backtesting enables you to evaluate your trading strategy under various market conditions. Traders can test a strategy’s performance during specific periods, such as economic downturns, bull markets, or periods of high volatility. This helps assess the trading strategy’s robustness and adaptability across different scenarios.
Specifying years of data instead of just inputting specific start and end dates offers several advantages:
1. **Consistency**: Using a fixed number of years ensures that the testing period is consistent across different strategies or iterations. This makes it easier to compare performance metrics and draw meaningful conclusions.
2. **Flexibility**: Specifying years allows for automatic adjustment of the start date based on the current date or selected end date. This is particularly useful when new data becomes available or when testing on different assets with varying historical data lengths.
3. **Efficiency**: It simplifies updating and retesting strategies. Instead of recalculating specific start dates each time, traders can quickly adjust the number of years to process, making it easier to test strategies over different timeframes.
4. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Broader timeframes defined by years help you evaluate how your strategy performs over multiple market cycles, providing insights into long-term viability and potential weaknesses.
Defining a date range by specifying years allows for more thorough and systematic backtesting, helping traders develop more reliable and effective trading systems.

ChartArt-Bankniftybuying5minName: ChartArt-BankNifty Buying Strategy (5-Minute)
Timeframe: 5-Minute Candles
Asset: BankNifty (Indian Stock Market Index)
Trading Hours: 9:30 AM - 2:45 PM IST (Indian Standard Time)
This strategy is designed for BankNifty intraday traders who want to capitalize on short-term price movements within a defined trading window. It combines technical indicators like Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and candlestick patterns to identify potential buy signals during intraday downtrends. The strategy employs specific entry, stop-loss, and target conditions to manage trades effectively and minimize risk.
Technical Indicators Used
Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
EMA7: 7-period SMA on closing price.
EMA5: 5-period SMA on closing price.
Purpose: Used to identify the intraday trend by comparing short-term moving averages. The strategy focuses on situations where the market is in a minor downtrend, indicated by EMA5 being below EMA7.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI14: 14-period RSI, a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
SMA14: 14-period SMA of the RSI.
Purpose: RSI is used to identify potential reversal points. The strategy looks for situations where the RSI is below its own moving average, suggesting weakening momentum in the downtrend.
Candlestick Patterns:
Relaxed Hammer or Doji (2nd Candle): A pattern where the second candle in a 3-candle sequence shows a potential reversal signal (Hammer or Doji), indicating indecision or a potential turning point.
Bearish 1st Candle: The first candle is bearish, setting up the context for a potential reversal.
Bullish 3rd Candle: The third candle must be bullish with specific characteristics (closing near the high, surpassing the previous high), confirming the reversal.
Strategy Conditions
Time Condition:
The strategy is only active during specific hours (9:30 AM to 2:45 PM IST). This ensures that trades are only taken during the most liquid hours of the trading day, avoiding potential volatility or lack of liquidity towards market close.
Intraday Downtrend Condition:
EMA5 < EMA7: Indicates that the market is in a minor downtrend. The strategy looks for reversal opportunities within this trend.
RSI Condition:
RSI14 <= SMA14: Indicates that the current RSI value is below its 14-period SMA, suggesting potential weakening momentum, which can precede a reversal.
Candlestick Patterns:
1st Candle: Must be bearish, setting up the context for a potential reversal.
2nd Candle: Must either be a Hammer or Doji, indicating a potential reversal pattern.
3rd Candle: Must be bullish, with specific characteristics (closing near the high, breaking the previous high, etc.), confirming the reversal.
RSI Crossover Condition:
A crossover of the RSI over its SMA in the last 5 periods is also checked, adding further confirmation to the reversal signal.
Entry and Exit Rules
Entry Signal:
A buy signal is generated when all the conditions (time, intraday downtrend, bearish 1st candle, hammer/doji 2nd candle, bullish 3rd candle, and RSI condition) are met. The trade is entered at the high of the bullish third candle.
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is calculated based on the difference between the entry price and the low of the second candle. If this difference is greater than 90 points, the stop loss is placed at the midpoint of the second candle's range (average of high and low). Otherwise, it is placed at the low of the second candle.
Target 1:
The first target is set at 1.8 times the difference between the entry price and the stop loss. When this target is hit, half of the position is exited to lock in partial profits.
Target 2:
The second target is set at 3 times the difference between the entry price and the stop loss. The remaining position is exited at this point, or if the price hits the stop loss.
Originality and Usefulness
This strategy is original in its combination of multiple technical indicators and candlestick patterns to identify potential reversals in a specific intraday timeframe. By focusing on minor downtrends and utilizing a 3-candle reversal pattern, the strategy seeks to capture quick price movements with a structured approach to risk management.
Key Benefits:
High Precision: The strategy’s multi-step filtering process (time condition, trend confirmation, candlestick pattern analysis, and momentum evaluation via RSI) increases the likelihood of accurate trade signals.
Risk Management: The use of a dynamic stop-loss based on candle characteristics, combined with partial profit-taking, allows traders to lock in profits while still giving the trade room to develop further.
Structured Approach: The strategy provides a clear, rule-based system for entering and exiting trades, which can help remove emotional decision-making from the trading process.
Charts and Signals
The strategy produces signals in the form of labels on the chart:
Buy Signal: A green label is plotted below the candle that meets all entry conditions, indicating a potential buy opportunity.
Stop Loss (SL): A red dashed line is drawn at the stop-loss level with a label indicating "SL".
Target 1 (1st TG): A blue dashed line is drawn at the first target level with a label indicating "1st TG".
Target 2 (2nd TG): Another blue dashed line is drawn at the second target level with a label indicating "2nd TG".
These visual aids help traders quickly identify entry points, stop loss levels, and target levels on the chart, making the strategy easy to follow and implement.
Backtesting and Optimization
Backtesting: The strategy can be backtested on TradingView using historical data to evaluate its performance. Traders should consider testing across different market conditions to ensure the strategy's robustness.
Optimization: Parameters such as the RSI period, moving averages, and target multipliers can be optimized based on backtesting results to refine the strategy further.
Conclusion
The ChartArt-BankNifty Buying Strategy offers a well-rounded approach to intraday trading, focusing on capturing reversals in minor downtrends. With a strong emphasis on technical analysis, precise entry and exit rules, and robust risk management, this strategy provides a solid framework for traders looking to engage in intraday trading on BankNifty.
Non-Repainting Renko Emulation Strategy [PineIndicators]Introduction: The Repainting Problem in Renko Strategies
Renko charts are widely used in technical analysis for their ability to filter out market noise and emphasize price trends. Unlike traditional candlestick charts, which are based on fixed time intervals, Renko charts construct bricks only when price moves by a predefined amount. This makes them useful for trend identification while reducing small fluctuations.
However, Renko-based trading strategies often fail in live trading due to a fundamental issue: repainting .
Why Do Renko Strategies Repaint?
Most trading platforms, including TradingView, generate Renko charts retrospectively based on historical price data. This leads to the following issues:
Renko bricks can change or disappear when new data arrives.
Backtesting results do not reflect real market conditions. Strategies may appear highly profitable in backtests because historical data is recalculated with hindsight.
Live trading produces different results than backtesting. Traders cannot know in advance whether a new Renko brick will form until price moves far enough.
Objective of the Renko Emulator
This script simulates Renko behavior on a standard time-based chart without repainting. Instead of using TradingView’s built-in Renko charting, which recalculates past bricks, this approach ensures that once a Renko brick is formed, it remains unchanged .
Key benefits:
No past bricks are recalculated or removed.
Trading strategies can execute reliably without false signals.
Renko-based logic can be applied on a time-based chart.
How the Renko Emulator Works
1. Parameter Configuration & Initialization
The script defines key user inputs and variables:
brickSize : Defines the Renko brick size in price points, adjustable by the user.
renkoPrice : Stores the closing price of the last completed Renko brick.
prevRenkoPrice : Stores the price level of the previous Renko brick.
brickDir : Tracks the direction of Renko bricks (1 = up, -1 = down).
newBrick : A boolean flag that indicates whether a new Renko brick has been formed.
brickStart : Stores the bar index at which the current Renko brick started.
2. Identifying Renko Brick Formation Without Repainting
To ensure that the strategy does not repaint, Renko calculations are performed only on confirmed bars.
The script calculates the difference between the current price and the last Renko brick level.
If the absolute price difference meets or exceeds the brick size, a new Renko brick is formed.
The new Renko price level is updated based on the number of bricks that would fit within the price movement.
The direction (brickDir) is updated , and a flag ( newBrick ) is set to indicate that a new brick has been formed.
3. Visualizing Renko Bricks on a Time-Based Chart
Since TradingView does not support live Renko charts without repainting, the script uses graphical elements to draw Renko-style bricks on a standard chart.
Each time a new Renko brick forms, a colored rectangle (box) is drawn:
Green boxes → Represent bullish Renko bricks.
Red boxes → Represent bearish Renko bricks.
This allows traders to see Renko-like formations on a time-based chart, while ensuring that past bricks do not change.

Since the Renko emulator provides a stable price structure, it is possible to apply a consistent trading strategy that would otherwise fail on a traditional Renko chart.
1. Entry Conditions
A long trade is entered when:
The previous Renko brick was bearish .
The new Renko brick confirms an upward trend .
There is no existing long position .
A short trade is entered when:
The previous Renko brick was bullish .
The new Renko brick confirms a downward trend .
There is no existing short position .
2. Exit Conditions
Trades are closed when a trend reversal is detected:
Long trades are closed when a new bearish brick forms.
Short trades are closed when a new bullish brick forms.
Key Characteristics of This Approach
1. No Historical Recalculation
Once a Renko brick forms, it remains fixed and does not change.
Past price action does not shift based on future data.
2. Trading Strategies Operate Consistently
Since the Renko structure is stable, strategies can execute without unexpected changes in signals.
Live trading results align more closely with backtesting performance.
3. Allows Renko Analysis Without Switching Chart Types
Traders can apply Renko logic without leaving a standard time-based chart.
This enables integration with indicators that normally cannot be used on traditional Renko charts.
Considerations When Using This Strategy
Trade execution may be delayed compared to standard Renko charts. Since new bricks are only confirmed on closed bars, entries may occur slightly later.
Brick size selection is important. A smaller brickSize results in more frequent trades, while a larger brickSize reduces signals.
Conclusion
This Renko Emulation Strategy provides a method for using Renko-based trading strategies on a time-based chart without repainting. By ensuring that bricks do not change once formed, it allows traders to use stable Renko logic while avoiding the issues associated with traditional Renko charts.
This approach enables accurate backtesting and reliable live execution, making it suitable for trend-following and swing trading strategies that rely on Renko price action.
MACD Aggressive Scalp SimpleComment on the Script
Purpose and Structure:
The script is a scalping strategy based on the MACD indicator combined with EMA (50) as a trend filter.
It uses the MACD histogram's crossover/crossunder of zero to trigger entries and exits, allowing the trader to capitalize on short-term momentum shifts.
The use of strategy.close ensures that positions are closed when specified conditions are met, although adjustments were made to align with Pine Script version 6.
Strengths:
Simplicity and Clarity: The logic is straightforward and focuses on essential scalping principles (momentum-based entries and exits).
Visual Indicators: The plotted MACD line, signal line, and histogram columns provide clear visual feedback for the strategy's operation.
Trend Confirmation: Incorporating the EMA(50) as a trend filter helps avoid trades that go against the prevailing trend, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
Dynamic Exit Conditions: The conditional logic for closing positions based on weakening momentum (via MACD histogram change) is a good way to protect profits or minimize losses.
Potential Improvements:
Parameter Inputs:
Make the MACD (12, 26, 9) and EMA(50) values adjustable by the user through input statements for better customization during backtesting.
Example:
pine
Copy code
macdFast = input(12, title="MACD Fast Length")
macdSlow = input(26, title="MACD Slow Length")
macdSignal = input(9, title="MACD Signal Line Length")
emaLength = input(50, title="EMA Length")
Stop Loss and Take Profit:
The strategy currently lacks explicit stop-loss or take-profit levels, which are critical in a scalping strategy to manage risk and lock in profits.
ATR-based or fixed-percentage exits could be added for better control.
Position Size and Risk Management:
While the script uses 50% of equity per trade, additional options (e.g., fixed position sizes or risk-adjusted sizes) would be beneficial for flexibility.
Avoid Overlapping Signals:
Add logic to prevent overlapping signals (e.g., opening a new position immediately after closing one on the same bar).
Backtesting Optimization:
Consider adding labels or markers (label.new or plotshape) to visualize entry and exit points on the chart for better debugging and analysis.
The inclusion of performance metrics like max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, or profit factor would help assess the strategy's robustness during backtesting.
Compatibility with Live Trading:
The strategy could be further enhanced with alert conditions using alertcondition to notify the trader of buy/sell signals in real-time.
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.

Custom Buy and Sell Signal with Body Ratio and RSI
Indicator Overview:
Name: Custom Buy and Sell Signal with Body Ratio and RSI
Description: This indicator is designed to detect buy and sell opportunities by analyzing the body size and wicks of candles in combination with the RSI indicator and volume. It helps identify trend reversals under high-volume market conditions, which enhances the reliability of the signals.
Indicator Features:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI indicator is used to assess oversold (RSI < 40) or overbought (RSI > 60) conditions. These zones signal potential reversals when combined with other technical signals.
Candle Body Analysis:
The indicator compares the size of the current and previous candles to validate signals.
For a buy signal, the current candle must be bullish and have a body size proportional to that of the previous bearish candle.
Similarly, for a sell signal, the current candle must be bearish with a body size comparable to the previous bullish candle.
Wick Validation:
The indicator analyzes the wick length to reinforce or exclude signals.
For a buy signal, the lower wick of the bullish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bearish candle.
For a sell signal, the upper wick of the bearish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bullish candle and smaller than 30% of the candle's body.
High Volume:
Signals are only generated when the volume exceeds a certain threshold, ensuring that signals are issued in active market conditions.
The minimum volume should be adjusted based on the asset. For example, for gold, a minimum volume of 9000 is recommended.
Trading Strategy:
Buy Signals:
A bearish (red) candle is followed by a bullish (green) candle with a body size that is comparable to the previous candle (0.9 to 3 times the body size).
The lower wick of the bullish candle is shorter than that of the previous bearish candle, confirming the validity of the signal.
The RSI must be below 40, indicating an oversold condition.
The volume must exceed the defined threshold (e.g., > 9000 for gold) to confirm an active market.
Sell Signals:
A bullish (green) candle is followed by a bearish (red) candle with a comparable body size.
The upper wick of the bearish candle must be shorter than that of the previous bullish candle and must not exceed 30% of the body size.
The RSI must be above 60, indicating an overbought condition.
The volume must also exceed the minimum threshold for a valid signal.
Usage Guidelines:
Volume Adjustment: It is crucial to adjust the volume threshold depending on the asset you're trading. For example, for assets like gold, a minimum volume of 9000 is recommended to filter out weak signals. Each asset has a different volume dynamic, so test different thresholds on historical data to find the optimal setting.
Time Frame:
It is recommended to use this indicator on a 1-hour (1H) chart for the best signal relevance. This time frame provides a good balance between reactivity and filtering false signals.
Confluence:
Combine the signals from this indicator with other tools like support and resistance levels, moving averages, or chart patterns to increase your chances of success. Confluence of indicators improves the reliability of signals.
Risk Management:
Implement strict risk management. Use stop-losses based on volatility, such as ATR (Average True Range), or the wick size to determine exit points.
Backtesting:
Before using it live, conduct backtesting on various assets to fine-tune the parameters, especially the volume threshold, and to verify performance across different market conditions.
This indicator is an excellent tool for traders looking to identify trend reversals based on solid technical criteria such as RSI, candle structure, and volume. It is particularly effective on volatile assets with precise volume adjustment.

Volatility Momentum Breakout StrategyDescription:
Overview:
The Volatility Momentum Breakout Strategy is designed to capture significant price moves by combining a volatility breakout approach with trend and momentum filters. This strategy dynamically calculates breakout levels based on market volatility and uses these levels along with trend and momentum conditions to identify trade opportunities.
How It Works:
1. Volatility Breakout:
• Methodology:
The strategy computes the highest high and lowest low over a defined lookback period (excluding the current bar to avoid look-ahead bias). A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) is then added to (or subtracted from) these levels to form dynamic breakout thresholds.
• Purpose:
This method helps capture significant price movements (breakouts) while ensuring that only past data is used, thereby maintaining realistic signal generation.
2. Trend Filtering:
• Methodology:
A short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to determine the prevailing trend.
• Purpose:
Long trades are considered only when the current price is above the EMA, indicating an uptrend, while short trades are taken only when the price is below the EMA, indicating a downtrend.
3. Momentum Confirmation:
• Methodology:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used to gauge market momentum.
• Purpose:
For long entries, the RSI must be above a mid-level (e.g., above 50) to confirm upward momentum, and for short entries, it must be below a similar threshold. This helps filter out signals during overextended conditions.
Entry Conditions:
• Long Entry:
A long position is triggered when the current closing price exceeds the calculated long breakout level, the price is above the short-term EMA, and the RSI confirms momentum (e.g., above 50).
• Short Entry:
A short position is triggered when the closing price falls below the calculated short breakout level, the price is below the EMA, and the RSI confirms momentum (e.g., below 50).
Risk Management:
• Position Sizing:
Trades are sized to risk a fixed percentage of account equity (set here to 5% per trade in the code, with each trade’s stop loss defined so that risk is limited to approximately 2% of the entry price).
• Stop Loss & Take Profit:
A stop loss is placed a fixed ATR multiple away from the entry price, and a take profit target is set to achieve a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
• Realistic Backtesting:
The strategy is backtested using an initial capital of $10,000, with a commission of 0.1% per trade and slippage of 1 tick per bar—parameters chosen to reflect conditions faced by the average trader.
Important Disclaimers:
• No Look-Ahead Bias:
All breakout levels are calculated using only past data (excluding the current bar) to ensure that the strategy does not “peek” into future data.
• Educational Purpose:
This strategy is experimental and provided solely for educational purposes. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
• User Responsibility:
Traders should thoroughly backtest and paper trade the strategy under various market conditions and adjust parameters to fit their own risk tolerance and trading style before live deployment.
Conclusion:
By integrating volatility-based breakout signals with trend and momentum filters, the Volatility Momentum Breakout Strategy offers a unique method to capture significant price moves in a disciplined manner. This publication provides a transparent explanation of the strategy’s components and realistic backtesting parameters, making it a useful tool for educational purposes and further customization by the TradingView community.
High-Probability IndicatorExplanation of the Code
Trend Filter (EMA):
A 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is used to determine the overall trend.
trendUp is true when the price is above the EMA.
trendDown is true when the price is below the EMA.
Momentum Filter (RSI):
A 14-period RSI is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
oversold is true when RSI ≤ 30.
overbought is true when RSI ≥ 70.
Volatility Filter (ATR):
A 14-period Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure volatility.
ATR is multiplied by a user-defined multiplier (default: 2.0) to set a volatility threshold.
Ensures trades are only taken during periods of sufficient volatility.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: Price is above the EMA (uptrend), RSI is oversold, and the candle range exceeds the ATR threshold.
Short Entry: Price is below the EMA (downtrend), RSI is overbought, and the candle range exceeds the ATR threshold.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: A fixed percentage above/below the entry price.
Stop Loss: A fixed percentage below/above the entry price.
Visualization:
The EMA is plotted on the chart.
Background colors highlight uptrends and downtrends.
Buy and sell signals are displayed as labels on the chart.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered for buy and sell signals.
How to Use the Indicator
Trend Filter:
Only take trades in the direction of the trend (e.g., long in an uptrend, short in a downtrend).
Momentum Filter:
Look for oversold conditions in an uptrend for long entries.
Look for overbought conditions in a downtrend for short entries.
Volatility Filter:
Ensure the candle range exceeds the ATR threshold to avoid low-volatility trades.
Risk Management:
Use the built-in take profit and stop loss levels to manage risk.
Optimization Tips
Backtesting:
Test the indicator on multiple timeframes and assets to evaluate its performance.
Adjust the input parameters (e.g., EMA length, RSI length, ATR multiplier) to optimize for specific markets.
Combination with Other Strategies:
Add additional filters, such as volume analysis or support/resistance levels, to improve accuracy.
Risk Management:
Use proper position sizing and risk-reward ratios to maximize profitability.
Disclaimer
No indicator can guarantee an 85% win ratio due to the inherent unpredictability of financial markets. This script is provided for educational purposes only. Always conduct thorough backtesting and paper trading before using any strategy in live trading.

EMA Crossover Strategy with Take Profit and Candle HighlightingStrategy Overview:
This strategy is based on the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), specifically the EMA 20 and EMA 50. It takes advantage of EMA crossovers to identify potential trend reversals and uses multiple take-profit levels and a stop-loss for risk management.
Key Components:
EMA Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal (Uptrend): A buy signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential uptrend.
Sell Signal (Downtrend): A sell signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential downtrend.
Take Profit Levels:
Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the strategy calculates multiple take-profit levels based on the range of the previous candle. The user can define multipliers for each take-profit level.
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 50% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 2 (TP2): 100% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 3 (TP3): 150% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 4 (TP4): 200% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
These levels are adjusted dynamically based on the previous candle's high and low, so they adapt to changing market conditions.
Stop Loss:
A stop-loss is set to manage risk. The default stop-loss is 3% from the entry price, but this can be adjusted in the settings. The stop-loss is triggered if the price moves against the position by this amount.
Trend Direction Highlighting:
The strategy highlights the bars (candles) with colors:
Green bars indicate an uptrend (when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50).
Red bars indicate a downtrend (when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50).
These visual cues help users easily identify the market direction.
Strategy Entries and Exits:
Entries: The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50 and a short (sell) position when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50.
Exits: The strategy exits the positions at any of the defined take-profit levels or the stop-loss. Multiple exit levels provide opportunities to take profit progressively as the price moves in the favorable direction.
Entry and Exit Conditions in Detail:
Buy Entry Condition (Uptrend):
A buy position is opened when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50, signaling the start of an uptrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels above the entry price based on the previous bar's range (high-low) and the multipliers for TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4.
Sell Entry Condition (Downtrend):
A sell position is opened when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50, signaling the start of a downtrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels below the entry price, similarly based on the previous bar's range.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: The strategy attempts to exit the position at one of the take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, or TP4). If the price reaches any of these levels, the position is closed.
Stop Loss: The strategy also has a stop-loss set at a default value (3% below the entry for long trades, and 3% above for short trades). The stop-loss helps to protect the position from significant losses.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics:
The strategy can be backtested using TradingView's Strategy Tester. The results will show how the strategy would have performed historically, including key metrics like:
Net Profit
Max Drawdown
Win Rate
Profit Factor
Average Trade Duration
These performance metrics can help users assess the strategy's effectiveness over historical periods and optimize the input parameters (e.g., multipliers, stop-loss level).
Customization:
The strategy allows for the adjustment of several key input values via the settings panel:
Take Profit Multipliers: Users can customize the multipliers for each take-profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4).
Stop Loss Percentage: The user can also adjust the stop-loss percentage to a custom value.
EMA Periods: The default periods for the EMA 50 and EMA 20 are fixed, but they can be adjusted for different market conditions.
Pros of the Strategy:
EMA Crossover Strategy: A classic and well-known strategy used by traders to identify the start of new trends.
Multiple Take Profit Levels: By taking profits progressively at different levels, the strategy locks in gains as the price moves in favor of the position.
Clear Trend Identification: The use of green and red bars makes it visually easier to follow the market's direction.
Risk Management: The stop-loss and take-profit features help to manage risk and optimize profit-taking.
Cons of the Strategy:
Lagging Indicators: The strategy relies on EMAs, which are lagging indicators. This means that the strategy might enter trades after the trend has already started, leading to missed opportunities or less-than-ideal entry prices.
No Confirmation Indicators: The strategy purely depends on the crossover of two EMAs and does not use other confirming indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD), which might lead to false signals in volatile markets.
How to Use in Real-Time Trading:
Use for Backtesting: Initially, use this strategy in backtest mode to understand how it would have performed historically with your preferred settings.
Paper Trading: Once comfortable, you can use paper trading to test the strategy in real-time market conditions without risking real money.
Live Trading: After testing and optimizing the strategy, you can consider using it for live trading with proper risk management in place (e.g., starting with a small position size and adjusting parameters as needed).
Summary:
This strategy is designed to identify trend reversals using EMA crossovers, with customizable take-profit levels and a stop-loss to manage risk. It's well-suited for traders looking for a systematic way to enter and exit trades based on clear market signals, while also providing flexibility to adjust for different risk profiles and trading styles.

FS Scorpion TailKey Features & Components:
1. Custom Date & Chart-Based Controls
The software allows users to define whether they want signals to start on a specific date (useSpecificDate) or base calculations on the visible chart’s range (useRelativeScreenSumLeft and useRelativeScreenSumRight).
Users can input the number of stocks to buy/sell per signal and decide whether to sell only for profit.
2. Technical Indicators Used
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Users can define the length of the EMA and specify if buy/sell signals should occur when the EMA is rising or falling.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): MACD crossovers, slopes of the MACD line, signal line, and histogram are used for generating buy/sell signals.
ATR (Average True Range): Signals are generated based on rising or falling ATR.
Aroon Indicator: Buy and sell signals are based on the behavior of the Aroon upper and lower lines.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Tracks whether the RSI and its moving average are rising or falling to generate signals.
Bollinger Bands: Buy/sell signals depend on the basis, upper, and lower band behavior (rising or falling).
3. Signal Detection
The software creates arrays for each indicator to store conditions for buy/sell signals.
The allTrue() function checks whether all conditions for buy/sell signals are true, ensuring that only valid signals are plotted.
Signals are differentiated between buy-only, sell-only, and both buy and sell (dual signal).
4. Visual Indicators
Vertical Lines: When buy, sell, or dual signals are detected, vertical lines are drawn at the corresponding bar with configurable colors (green for buy, red for sell, silver for dual).
Buy/Sell Labels: Visual labels are plotted directly on the chart to denote buy or sell signals, allowing for clear interpretation of the strategy.
5. Cash Flow & Metrics Display
The software maintains an internal ledger of how many stocks are bought/sold, their prices, and whether a profit is being made.
A table is displayed at the bottom right of the chart, showing:
Initial investment
Current stocks owned
Last buy price
Market stake
Net profit
The table background turns green for profit and red for loss.
6. Dynamic Decision Making
Buy Condition: If a valid buy signal is generated, the software decrements the cash balance and adds stocks to the inventory.
Sell Condition: If the sell signal is valid (and meets the profit requirement), stocks are sold, and cash is incremented.
A fallback check ensures the sell logic prevents selling more stocks than are available and adjusts stock holding appropriately (e.g., sell half).
Customization and Usage
Indicator Adjustments: The user can choose which indicators to activate (e.g., EMA, MACD, RSI) via input controls. Each indicator has specific customizable parameters such as lengths, slopes, and conditions.
Signal Flexibility: The user can adjust conditions for buying and selling based on various technical indicators, which adds flexibility in implementing trading strategies. For example, users may require the RSI to be higher than its moving average or trigger sales only when MACD crosses under the signal line.
Profit Sensitivity: The software allows the option to sell only when a profit is assured by checking if the current price is higher than the last buy price.
Summary of Usage:
Indicator Selection: Enable or disable technical indicators like EMA, MACD, RSI, Aroon, ATR, and Bollinger Bands to fit your trading strategy.
Custom Date/Chart Settings: Choose whether to calculate based on specific time ranges or visible portions of the chart.
Dynamic Signal Plotting: Once buy or sell conditions are met, the software will visually plot signals on your chart, giving clear entry and exit points.
Investment Tracking: Real-time tracking of stock quantities, investments, and profit ensures a clear view of your trading performance.
Backtesting: Use this software for backtesting your strategy by analyzing how buy and sell signals would have performed historically based on the chosen indicators.

Chande Momentum Oscillator StrategyThe Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) Trading Strategy is based on the momentum oscillator developed by Tushar Chande in 1994. The CMO measures the momentum of a security by calculating the difference between the sum of recent gains and losses over a defined period. The indicator offers a means to identify overbought and oversold conditions, making it suitable for developing mean-reversion trading strategies (Chande, 1997).
Strategy Overview:
Calculation of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO):
The CMO formula considers both positive and negative price changes over a defined period (commonly set to 9 days) and computes the net momentum as a percentage.
The formula is as follows:
CMO=100×(Sum of Gains−Sum of Losses)(Sum of Gains+Sum of Losses)
CMO=100×(Sum of Gains+Sum of Losses)(Sum of Gains−Sum of Losses)
This approach distinguishes the CMO from other oscillators like the RSI by using both price gains and losses in the numerator, providing a more symmetrical measurement of momentum (Chande, 1997).
Entry Condition:
The strategy opens a long position when the CMO value falls below -50, signaling an oversold condition where the price may revert to the mean. Research in mean-reversion, such as by Poterba and Summers (1988), supports this approach, highlighting that prices often revert after sharp movements due to overreaction in the markets.
Exit Conditions:
The strategy closes the long position when:
The CMO rises above 50, indicating that the price may have become overbought and may not provide further upside potential.
Alternatively, the position is closed 5 days after the buy signal is triggered, regardless of the CMO value, to ensure a timely exit even if the momentum signal does not reach the predefined level.
This exit strategy aligns with the concept of time-based exits, reducing the risk of prolonged exposure to adverse price movements (Fama, 1970).
Scientific Basis and Rationale:
Momentum and Mean-Reversion:
The strategy leverages the well-known phenomenon of mean-reversion in financial markets. According to research by Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), prices tend to revert to their mean over short periods following strong movements, creating opportunities for traders to profit from temporary deviations.
The CMO captures this mean-reversion behavior by monitoring extreme price conditions. When the CMO reaches oversold levels (below -50), it signals potential buying opportunities, whereas crossing overbought levels (above 50) indicates conditions for selling.
Market Efficiency and Overreaction:
The strategy takes advantage of behavioral inefficiencies and overreactions, which are often the drivers behind sharp price movements (Shiller, 2003). By identifying these extreme conditions with the CMO, the strategy aims to capitalize on the market’s tendency to correct itself when price deviations become too large.
Optimization and Parameter Selection:
The 9-day period used for the CMO calculation is a widely accepted timeframe that balances responsiveness and noise reduction, making it suitable for capturing short-term price fluctuations. Studies in technical analysis suggest that oscillators optimized over such periods are effective in detecting reversals (Murphy, 1999).
Performance and Backtesting:
The strategy's effectiveness is confirmed through backtesting, which shows that using the CMO as a mean-reversion tool yields profitable opportunities. The use of time-based exits alongside momentum-based signals enhances the reliability of the strategy by ensuring that trades are closed even when the momentum signal alone does not materialize.
Conclusion:
The Chande Momentum Oscillator Trading Strategy combines the principles of momentum measurement and mean-reversion to identify and capitalize on short-term price fluctuations. By using a widely tested oscillator like the CMO and integrating a systematic exit approach, the strategy effectively addresses both entry and exit conditions, providing a robust method for trading in diverse market environments.

Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend TableThe "Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend Table" (VSLRT Table) script helps traders identify buy and sell opportunities by analyzing price trends and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. It uses linear regression to calculate the trend direction and volume strength, visually representing this data with color-coded signals on the chart and in a table. Green signals indicate buying opportunities, while red signals suggest selling, with volume acting as confirmation of trend strength. Traders can use these signals for both short and long positions, with additional risk management and multi-timeframe validation to enhance the strategy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use the "Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend Table" (VSLRT Table) script in a trading strategy, you would incorporate it into your decision-making process to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on the trend and volume dynamics. Here’s how you could apply it for trading:
1. Understanding the Key Elements:
Trend Direction (Slope of Price): The script uses linear regression to assess the trend direction of the price. If the price slope is positive, the asset is likely in an uptrend; if it's negative, the asset is in a downtrend.
Volume-Backed Signals: The buy or sell signal is not only based on the price trend but also on volume. Volume is crucial in validating the strength of a trend; large volume often indicates strong interest in a direction.
2. Interpreting the Table and Signals:
The table displayed at the bottom-right of your TradingView chart gives you a clear overview of the trends across different timeframes:
Trend Colors:
Green hues (e.g., ccol11, ccol12, etc.): Indicate a buying trend supported by volume.
Red hues (e.g., ccol21, ccol22, etc.): Indicate a selling trend supported by volume.
Gray: Indicates weak or unclear trends where no decisive direction is present.
Buy/Sell Signals:
The script plots triangles on the chart:
Upward triangle below the bar signals a potential buy.
Downward triangle above the bar signals a potential sell.
3. Building a Trading Strategy:
Here’s how you can incorporate the script’s information into a trading strategy:
Buy Signal (Long Entry):
Look for green triangles (indicating a buy signal) below a bar.
Confirm that the trend color in the table for the relevant timeframe is green, which shows that the buy signal is supported by strong volume.
Ensure that the price is in an uptrend (positive slope) and that volume is increasing on upward moves, as this indicates buying interest.
Execute a long position when these conditions align.
Sell Signal (Short Entry):
Look for red triangles (indicating a sell signal) above a bar.
Confirm that the trend color in the table for the relevant timeframe is red, which shows that the sell signal is supported by strong volume.
Ensure that the price is in a downtrend (negative slope) and that volume is increasing on downward moves, indicating selling pressure.
Execute a short position when these conditions align.
Exiting the Trade:
Exit a long position when a sell signal (red triangle) appears, or when the trend color in the table shifts to red.
Exit a short position when a buy signal (green triangle) appears, or when the trend color in the table shifts to green.
4. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
The script provides trends across multiple timeframes (tf1, tf2, tf3), which can help in validating your trade:
Short-Term Trading: Use shorter timeframes (e.g., 3, 5 minutes) for intraday trades. If both short and medium timeframes align in trend direction (e.g., both showing green), it strengthens the signal.
Longer-Term Trading: If you are trading on a higher timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly), confirm that the lower timeframes align with your intended trade direction.
5. Adding Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: Place stop-losses below recent lows (for long trades) or above recent highs (for short trades) to minimize risk.
Take Profit: Consider taking profit at key support/resistance levels or based on a fixed risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1).
Example Strategy Flow:
For Long (Buy) Trade:
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (Buy signal).
Trend Confirmation: Check that the color in the table for your selected timeframe is green, confirming the trend is supported by volume.
Execute Long: Enter a long trade if the price is trending upward (positive price slope).
Exit Long: Exit when a red triangle appears above a candle (Sell signal) or if the trend color shifts to red in the table.
For Short (Sell) Trade:
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (Sell signal).
Trend Confirmation: Check that the color in the table for your selected timeframe is red, confirming the trend is supported by volume.
Execute Short: Enter a short trade if the price is trending downward (negative price slope).
Exit Short: Exit when a green triangle appears below a candle (Buy signal) or if the trend color shifts to green in the table.
6. Fine-Tuning:
Backtesting: Before trading live, use TradingView’s backtesting features to test the strategy on historical data and optimize the settings (e.g., length of linear regression, timeframe).
Combine with Other Indicators: Use this strategy alongside other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for better confirmation.
In summary, the script helps identify trends with volume support, giving more confidence in buy/sell decisions. Combining these signals with risk management and multi-timeframe analysis can create a solid trading strategy.
