Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA)The GMMA Momentum Indicator plots 12 EMAs on your chart, divided into two groups:
Short-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15): Represent short-term trader sentiment and momentum.
Long-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60): Reflect long-term investor behavior and broader market trends.
By analyzing the interaction between these two groups, the indicator identifies:
Bullish and bearish trends based on the relative positions of the short- and long-term EMAs.
Momentum strength through the spread or convergence of the EMAs.
Potential reversals or breakouts via compression signals.
This PineScript version enhances the traditional GMMA by adding visual cues like background colors, bearish signals, and compression detection, making it ideal for swing traders seeking clear, actionable insights.
The GMMA Momentum Indicator provides several key features:
1. Trend Identification
Bullish Trend: When the short-term EMAs (green lines) are above the long-term EMAs (blue lines) and spreading apart, it signals strong upward momentum. The chart background turns light green to highlight this condition.
Bearish Trend: When the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs and converge, it indicates downward momentum. The background turns light red, and an orange downward triangle appears above the bar to mark a new bearish signal.
2. Momentum Analysis
The spread between the short-term EMAs reflects the strength of short-term momentum. A wide spread suggests strong momentum, while a tight grouping indicates weakening momentum or consolidation. Similarly, the long-term EMAs act as dynamic support or resistance, guiding traders on the broader trend.
3. Compression Detection
Compression occurs when both the short-term and long-term EMAs converge, signaling low volatility and a potential breakout or reversal. A yellow upward triangle appears below the bar when compression is detected, alerting traders to watch for price action.
4. Visual Cues
Green short-term EMAs: Show short-term trader activity.
Blue long-term EMAs: Represent long-term investor sentiment.
Background colors: Light green for bullish trends, light red for bearish trends, and transparent for neutral conditions.
Orange downward triangles: Mark new bearish trends.
Yellow upward triangles: Indicate compression, hinting at potential breakouts.
How to Use the GMMA Momentum Indicator for Swing Trading
Swing trading involves capturing price moves over days to weeks, and the GMMA Momentum Indicator is an excellent tool for this strategy. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Identifying Trade Entries
Buy Opportunities:
Look for a bullish trend (green background) where the short-term EMAs are above the long-term EMAs and spreading apart, indicating strong momentum.
A compression signal (yellow triangle) followed by a breakout above resistance or a bullish candlestick pattern can confirm an entry.
Example: On a daily chart, if the short-term EMAs cross above the long-term EMAs and the background turns green, consider entering a long position, especially if volume supports the move.
Sell Opportunities:
Watch for a bearish signal (orange downward triangle) or a bearish trend (red background) where the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs.
Example: If the short-term EMAs collapse below the long-term EMAs and an orange triangle appears, it may signal a shorting opportunity or a time to exit longs.
2. Managing Trades
Use the long-term EMAs as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) to set stop-loss levels or trail stops.
Monitor the spread of the short-term EMAs. A widening spread suggests the trend is strong, while convergence may indicate it’s time to take profits or tighten stops.
3. Anticipating Reversals
Compression signals (yellow triangles) highlight periods of low volatility, often preceding significant price moves. Combine these with price action (e.g., breakouts or reversals) or other indicators (e.g., RSI or volume) for confirmation.
Example: If a compression signal appears near a key support level and the price breaks upward, it could signal the start of a new bullish swing.
4. Best Practices
Timeframes: The indicator works well on daily or 4-hour charts for swing trading, but you can adjust the EMA periods for shorter (e.g., 1-hour) or longer (e.g., weekly) timeframes.
Confirmation: Combine the GMMA with other tools like support/resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or oscillators (e.g., MACD) to reduce false signals.
Risk Management: Always use proper position sizing and stop-losses, as EMAs are lagging indicators and may produce delayed signals in choppy markets.

OTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdgeOTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdge
Overview
The OTE & A-B-C Zone Indicator SwiftEdge is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trading setups using a combination of Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones, Fibonacci levels, and A-B-C price patterns. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on price action and Fibonacci-based strategies to find entry points, set stop-losses, and target potential take-profit levels. By integrating swing point detection, trend analysis, and Fibonacci projections, SwiftEdge provides a clear visual framework for making informed trading decisions across various timeframes.
What It Does
SwiftEdge identifies key price levels and zones to guide your trading:
OTE Zone: Highlights the Optimal Trade Entry zone between swing points A (swing high) and B (swing low) using Fibonacci retracement levels (default: 0.618 to 0.786). This zone represents a high-probability area for price reversals, making it an ideal entry point for trades.
A-B-C Pattern: Marks the latest swing points as A (swing high), B (swing low), and C (projected take-profit level) with dashed lines and labels. A solid line connects A to B to C, visually illustrating the price movement from entry to target.
Take-Profit Zones: Projects three customizable take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on Fibonacci extensions (default: 1.272, 1.618, 2.0) from the A-B swing, helping traders plan exits with favorable risk-reward ratios.
How It Works
SwiftEdge combines several technical components to create a cohesive trading system:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies significant swing highs (A) and swing lows (B) using a dynamic lookback period that adjusts to the selected timeframe. On lower timeframes like 1-minute charts, an ATR-based filter reduces noise by requiring price movements to exceed a threshold (0.5 * ATR(14)).
Trend Analysis: Uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to determine the trend direction (default: 50-period EMA on 1H). The indicator marks uptrends (price above EMA) in green and downtrends (price below EMA) in red, ensuring trades align with the market's direction.
Fibonacci Levels: Applies Fibonacci retracement to define the OTE zone between A and B, and Fibonacci extensions to project take-profit levels (C) beyond the initial swing. This approach leverages the natural tendency of markets to respect Fibonacci ratios for reversals and extensions.
Visual Clarity: Displays only the latest A-B-C pattern with three dashed lines (A, B, C) and a solid connecting line, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered and easy to interpret.
The combination of these elements creates a structured setup where the OTE zone (between A and B) serves as an entry point, while the projected C level offers a target, all within the context of the prevailing trend. This synergy makes SwiftEdge a powerful tool for traders seeking to combine price action, trend analysis, and Fibonacci strategies.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Apply the indicator to your chart via TradingView's indicator menu.
Identify the Trend: The OTE zone and A-B-C pattern will be colored green in uptrends (price above EMA) or red in downtrends (price below EMA). Use this to determine the market direction.
Entry Point: Look for price reversals within the OTE zone (between A and B). This zone is typically between the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracement levels of the A-B swing, making it a high-probability area for entries.
Stop-Loss: Place your stop-loss below the OTE zone in an uptrend (or above in a downtrend) to protect against false breakouts.
Take-Profit Targets: Use the projected take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3) as potential exit levels. These are based on Fibonacci extensions and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Customization:
Adjust the Fibonacci levels for the OTE zone (Fibonacci Level 1 and Fibonacci Level 2) to suit your strategy.
Modify the take-profit levels (Fibonacci Extension Level for TP1/TP2/TP3) to target different extension ratios.
Change the lookback period (Base Lookback Period) and EMA period (Base EMA Period) to fine-tune swing point detection and trend sensitivity.
Customize colors for uptrends, downtrends, and A-B-C lines to match your preferences.
What Makes It Unique
SwiftEdge stands out by integrating swing point detection, Fibonacci-based OTE zones, and A-B-C price patterns into a single, visually intuitive indicator. Unlike standalone Fibonacci tools or trend indicators, SwiftEdge combines these elements to provide a complete trading setup: it identifies entry zones (OTE), confirms trend direction (EMA), and projects take-profit targets (Fibonacci extensions). The dynamic timeframe adjustment ensures consistent performance across all chart intervals, while the clean A-B-C visualization (with only the latest pattern displayed) prevents chart clutter, making it easier to focus on the most relevant price levels.
Notes
This indicator is designed for traders familiar with price action and Fibonacci strategies. It does not guarantee profits and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools and proper risk management.
Performance may vary depending on market conditions and timeframe. Test the indicator on a demo account before using it in live trading.

DETAILED SIGNAL LOGIC
Trend Determination:
The script determines the trend direction by comparing leading_line1 and leading_line2.
If leading_line1 is above leading_line2, the trend is considered bullish (isBullish). Otherwise, it's bearish (isBearish).
Signal Conditions:
Long Entry (LE): Triggered when the trend turns bullish from bearish.
Short Entry (SE): Triggered when the trend turns bearish from bullish.
Exit Long (XL): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Re-enter Long (RL): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during an uptrend.
Exit Short (XS): Triggered when the price crosses above leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Re-enter Short (RS): Triggered when the price crosses below leading_line1 during a downtrend.
Label Styling:
Labels are color-coded for quick identification:
Green for long entries and re-entries.
Red for short entries and exits.
Blue for exiting long positions.
Orange for re-entering short positions.
Tooltips provide additional context for each label.
Alert Configuration:
Alerts are generated for each signal condition, ensuring traders are notified promptly.
Users can set up these alerts within TradingView by creating new alerts and selecting the appropriate conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The indicator may lag behind price action due to its use of moving averages and channel calculations 🕒.
False signals can occur in choppy or sideways markets 🌪️.
Users should always confirm signals with other forms of analysis.
NOTES
Ensure that you have sufficient historical data available for accurate calculations.
Test the indicator thoroughly on demo accounts before applying it to live trading 🔍.
Customize the appearance and parameters as needed to fit your trading strategy.
For better risk management, consider integrating stop-loss and take-profit levels into your trading plan.
To optimize performance, manage old labels by deleting them after a certain period to avoid clutter on the chart.
Auto Trend Channel + Buy/Sell AlertsThis indicator automatically detects trend channels using a linear regression line, and dynamically plots upper and lower channel boundaries based on standard deviation. It helps traders identify potential Buy and Sell zones with clear visual signals and customizable alerts.
💡 How It Works:
🧠 Regression-Based Channel: Calculates the central trend line using ta.linreg() over a user-defined length.
📏 Dynamic Boundaries: Upper and lower channel lines are offset by a multiplier of the standard deviation for precision volatility tracking.
✅ Buy Signals: Triggered when price crosses above the lower boundary — potential bounce entry.
❌ Sell Signals: Triggered when price crosses below the upper boundary — potential reversal exit.
🔔 Alerts Enabled: Get real-time alerts when price touches the channel lines.
ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + Order Blocks + Fibonacci OTE Levels
A High-Probability Entry Engine for Smart Money Concept Traders
This script combines three powerful Smart Money Concepts (SMC) into a single tool: Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
It’s designed to simplify SMC trading by highlighting confluence zones where price is likely to reverse or continue — with clear visual zones, entry arrows, and take profit projections.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies when price sweeps above/below the highest high or lowest low within a user-defined lookback period and closes back inside.
Plots orange labels on the chart to signal potential liquidity events (LG-H / LG-L).
Plots Order Blocks After Liquidity Grabs
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for displacement candles (strong bullish or bearish moves) and draws highlighted OB zones extending several bars to the right.
These zones represent potential institutional footprints for price reversals.
Draws Fibonacci OTE Levels (Optimal Trade Entry)
Uses recent swing high and low pivots to automatically calculate OTE zones (default: 62% and 75% retracement levels).
Draws these retracement zones for both bullish and bearish setups.
Marks Valid OTE Entry Zones
Buy/Sell zones only trigger when:
A liquidity grab occurs,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle is present.
Plots green/red arrows for valid buy/sell OTE entries.
Auto-Draws Take Profit Zones
TP1 = Previous swing high/low
TP2 = Risk-based R-multiplied extension (e.g., 1.5R — customizable)
Alerts
Triggers alerts when valid buy or sell OTE setups are detected.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Toggle each feature: Liquidity Grabs, Order Blocks, Fibonacci OTE levels
Set Fibonacci retracement percentages (e.g., 0.62 / 0.75)
Adjust lookback window for liquidity detection
Customize the take-profit multiplier (R-based)
Full control over visuals: colors, labels, and lines
💡 How to Use:
Use this script to scan for high-confluence trade setups based on Smart Money principles.
Combine with session timing (e.g., New York open), major swing structure, or Kill Zone windows for maximum edge.
Look for arrows inside OB zones or OTE levels following liquidity sweeps for cleaner entries.
🔗 Works Best With:

Reversal Trading Bot Strategy[BullByte]Overview :
The indicator Reversal Trading Bot Strategy is crafted to capture potential market reversal points by combining momentum, volatility, and trend alignment filters. It uses a blend of technical indicators to identify both bullish and bearish reversal setups, ensuring that multiple market conditions are met before entering a trade.
Core Components :
Technical Indicators Used :
RSI (Relative Strength Index) :
Purpose : Detects divergence conditions by comparing recent lows/highs in price with the RSI.
Parameter : Length of 8.
Bollinger Bands (BB) :
Purpose : Measures volatility and identifies price levels that are statistically extreme.
Parameter : Length of 20 and a 2-standard deviation multiplier.
ADX (Average Directional Index) & DMI (Directional Movement Index) :
Purpose : Quantifies the strength of the trend. The ADX threshold is set at 20, and additional filters check for the alignment of the directional indicators (DI+ and DI–).
ATR (Average True Range) :
Purpose : Provides a volatility measure used to set stop levels and determine risk through trailing stops.
Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of Volume ):
Purpose : Helps confirm strength by comparing the current volume against a 20-period average, with an optional filter to ensure volume is at least twice the SMA.
User-Defined Toggle Filters :
Volume Filter : Confirms that the volume is above average (or twice the SMA) before taking trades.
ADX Trend Alignment Filter : Checks that the ADX’s directional indicators support the trade direction.
BB Close Confirmation : Optionally refines the entry by requiring price to be beyond the upper or lower Bollinger Band rather than just above or below.
RSI Divergence Exit : Allows the script to close positions if RSI divergence is detected.
BB Mean Reversion Exit : Closes positions if the price reverts to the Bollinger Bands’ middle line.
Risk/Reward Filter : Ensures that the potential reward is at least twice the risk by comparing the distance to the Bollinger Band with the ATR.
Candle Movement Filter : Optional filter to require a minimum percentage move in the candle to confirm momentum.
ADX Trend Exit : Closes positions if the ADX falls below the threshold and the directional indicators reverse.
Entry Conditions :
Bullish Entry :
RSI Divergence : Checks if the current close is lower than a previous low while the RSI is above the previous low, suggesting bullish divergence.
Bollinger Confirmation : Requires that the price is above the lower (or upper if confirmation is toggled) Bollinger Band.
Volume & Trend Filters : Combines volume condition, ADX strength, and an optional candle momentum condition.
Risk/Reward Check : Validates that the trade meets a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Bearish Entry :
Uses a mirror logic of the bullish entry by checking for bearish divergence, ensuring the price is below the appropriate Bollinger level, and confirming volume, trend strength, candle pattern, and risk/reward criteria.

Trade Execution :
Upon meeting the entry conditions, the strategy initiates a long or short position.
Stop Loss & Trailing Stops :
A stop-loss is dynamically set using the ATR value, and trailing stops are implemented as a percentage of the close price.
Exit Conditions :
Additional exit filters can trigger early closures based on RSI divergence, mean reversion (via the middle Bollinger Band), or a weakening trend as signaled by ADX falling below its threshold.
This multi-layered exit strategy is designed to lock in gains or minimize losses if the market begins to reverse unexpectedly.
How the Strategy Works in Different Market Conditions :
Trending Markets :
The ADX filter ensures that trades are only taken when the trend is strong. When the market is trending, the directional movement indicators help confirm the momentum, making the reversal signal more reliable.
Ranging Markets :
In choppy markets, the Bollinger Bands expand and contract, while the RSI divergence can highlight potential turning points. The optional filters can be adjusted to avoid false signals in low-volume or low-volatility conditions.
Volatility Management :
With ATR-based stop-losses and a risk/reward filter, the strategy adapts to current market volatility, ensuring that risk is managed consistently.
Recommendation on using this Strategy with a Trading Bot :
This strategy is well-suited for high-frequency trading (HFT) due to its ability to quickly identify reversal setups and execute trades dynamically with automated stop-loss and trailing exits. By integrating this script with a TradingView webhook-based bot or an API-driven execution system, traders can automate trade entries and exits in real-time, reducing manual execution delays and capitalizing on fast market movements.

BTC Trading RobotOverview
This Pine Script strategy is designed for trading Bitcoin (BTC) by placing pending orders (BuyStop and SellStop) based on local price extremes. The script also implements a trailing stop mechanism to protect profits once a position becomes sufficiently profitable.
________________________________________
Inputs and Parameter Setup
1. Trading Profile:
o The strategy is set up specifically for BTC trading.
o The systemType input is set to 1, which means the strategy will calculate trade parameters using the BTC-specific inputs.
2. Common Trading Inputs:
o Risk Parameters: Although RiskPercent is defined, its actual use (e.g., for position sizing) isn’t implemented in this version.
o Trading Hours Filter:
SHInput and EHInput let you restrict trading to a specific hour range. If these are set (non-zero), orders will only be placed during the allowed hours.
3. BTC-Specific Inputs:
o Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Percentages:
TPasPctBTC and SLasPctBTC are used to determine the TP and SL levels as a percentage of the current price.
o Trailing Stop Parameters:
TSLasPctofTPBTC and TSLTgrasPctofTPBTC determine when and by how much a trailing stop is applied, again as percentages of the TP.
4. Other Parameters:
o BarsN is used to define the window (number of bars) over which the local high and low are calculated.
o OrderDistPoints acts as a buffer to prevent the entry orders from being triggered too early.
________________________________________
Trade Parameter Calculation
• Price Reference:
o The strategy uses the current closing price as the reference for calculations.
• Calculation of TP and SL Levels:
o If the systemType is set to BTC (value 1), then:
Take Profit Points (Tppoints) are calculated by multiplying the current price by TPasPctBTC.
Stop Loss Points (Slpoints) are calculated similarly using SLasPctBTC.
A buffer (OrderDistPoints) is set to half of the take profit points.
Trailing Stop Levels:
TslPoints is calculated as a fraction of the TP (using TSLTgrasPctofTPBTC).
TslTriggerPoints is similarly determined, which sets the profit level at which the trailing stop will start to activate.
________________________________________
Time Filtering
• Session Control:
o The current hour is compared against SHInput (start hour) and EHInput (end hour).
o If the current time falls outside the allowed window, the script will not place any new orders.
________________________________________
Entry Orders
• Local Price Extremes:
o The strategy calculates a local high and local low using a window of BarsN * 2 + 1 bars.
• Placing Stop Orders:
o BuyStop Order:
A long entry is triggered if the current price is less than the local high minus the order distance buffer.
The BuyStop order is set to trigger at the level of the local high.
o SellStop Order:
A short entry is triggered if the current price is greater than the local low plus the order distance buffer.
The SellStop order is set to trigger at the level of the local low.
Note: Orders are only placed if there is no current open position and if the session conditions are met.
________________________________________
Trailing Stop Logic
Once a position is open, the strategy monitors profit levels to protect gains:
• For Long Positions:
o The script calculates the profit as the difference between the current price and the average entry price.
o If this profit exceeds the TslTriggerPoints threshold, a trailing stop is applied by placing an exit order.
o The stop price is set at a distance below the current price, while a limit (profit target) is also defined.
• For Short Positions:
o The profit is calculated as the difference between the average entry price and the current price.
o A similar trailing stop exit is applied if the profit exceeds the trigger threshold.
________________________________________
Summary
In essence, this strategy works by:
• Defining entry levels based on recent local highs and lows.
• Placing pending stop orders to enter the market when those levels are breached.
• Filtering orders by time, ensuring trades are only taken during specified hours.
• Implementing a trailing stop mechanism to secure profits once the trade moves favorably.
This approach is designed to automate BTC trading based on price action and dynamic risk management, although further enhancements (like dynamic position sizing based on RiskPercent) could be added for a more complete risk management system.

AsianRange&Midnight 2.2### Midnight Setup: Trading Strategy
#### **Bias Definition (Trend Identification)**
- The Daily (D) bias is defined the previous day and validated on the line chart.
- On the Daily chart, identify the nearest V-shaped formation that has broken close to the current price. This formation determines the Daily bias direction.
#### **H4 Bias Analysis (Trend Confirmation)**
- Switch to an H4 chart to refine the analysis.
- Identify a similar V-shaped formation that has broken in the H4 timeframe.
- If the Daily and H4 biases are aligned, the setup is valid.
#### **Entry Strategy (Position Entries)**
- **Bearish Bias (D and H4 identical):**
- Short entry at the high level of the Midnight range.
- **Bullish Bias (D and H4 identical):**
- Long entry at the low level of the Midnight range.
#### **Bias Divergence (Context Adaptation)**
- If the H4 bias is opposite to the Daily bias, this indicates an H4 retracement of the Daily bias.
- Enter a counter-trend trade with reduced risk.
- No TP target beyond 50% of the extension validating the Daily break. It is also not recommended to enter against this divergence beyond 50%.
#### **Divergence Scenarios (Reactions to Divergences)**
- **Daily Bearish Bias, H4 Bullish Bias:**
- Long entry at the Midnight Low.
- **Daily Bullish Bias, H4 Bearish Bias:**
- Short entry at the Midnight High.
#### **Daily Bias Resumption (Trend Alignment)**
- As soon as the H4 bias resumes the Daily bias direction, follow this trend and adjust the position accordingly.
#### **Instructions for Divergent Bias (Managing Divergence)**
- When holding a position with a divergent bias, it is crucial to manage it carefully.
- Exit counter-trend trades as soon as the H4 bias realigns with the Daily bias.
- Limit the duration of counter-trend trades per session and adjust the H4 bias for the next session if needed.
#### **SL/TP Management (Profit Taking and Protection Optimization)**
- **Take Profit (TP):**
- Entry in M15 with a minimum RR of 3.
- TP at 5H NYE, or RR 5, or 15H NYE.
- **Stop Loss (SL):**
- Minimum 15 pips, placed just above the nearest swing to the entry point to protect capital.
- **Red Announcement Days:**
- Either abstain from trading or set a 40-pip SL to limit volatility impact.
- **At 6H/7H NYE:**
- Manage the trade based on its progress: exit, set to BE (Break Even), or keep the SL in place.
- Any SL adjustment outside these rules can only be made if supported by data or backtests.
#### **Risk Management (Capital Protection)**
- Maximum risk of **1% of capital per trade** (allowing for **10 consecutive losses** without significantly affecting capital).
- In case of a loss, **reduce risk by 50% on the next trade** until the loss is recovered.
#### **Efficiency Conditions (When This Setup Works Best)**
- This setup is particularly effective in **strong trends**, where the market has a clear direction.
- It is **less effective in ranging markets**, where prices move within a narrow range without a clear trend.
Setup Midnight : Stratégie de Trading
Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.
Granular MA Ribbon🎗️ The Granular MA Ribbon provides a structured view of price action on lower timeframes by incorporating both price-based and volume-weighted moving averages, offering a more nuanced view of market trends and momentum shifts. Furthermore, by using 15-minute intervals for its calculations, it ensures that intraday traders receive a smooth and responsive representation of higher timeframe trends.
⚠️ Note that this indicator is specifically optimized for the 15-minute and 1-hour charts; applying it to longer or shorter periods will distort its calculations and reduce its effectiveness. Adjust visibility settings accordingly.
🧰 Unlike traditional moving averages that may lag or fail to reflect real-time shifts in price dynamics, the Granular MA Ribbon includes a one-day exponential moving average (1D EMA), a one-day volume-weighted moving average (1D VWMA), and a one-week exponential moving average (1W EMA). Together, these elements allow traders to stay aligned with the broader market while making precise intraday trading decisions.
🤷🏻 Why Two Daily Moving Averages?
🔊 Instead of relying on a single moving average, this indicator uses both an EMA and a VWMA to provide a clearer picture of price movement. The EMA reacts quickly to price changes, making it a useful tool for identifying short-term momentum shifts. The VWMA, meanwhile, accounts for volume, ensuring that price movements supported by higher trading activity carry greater weight in the trend calculation.
💪🏻 When the EMA and VWMA diverge significantly, it signals strong momentum. If they begin to converge, it suggests that momentum is weakening or that price may be entering consolidation. The space between these two moving averages is filled with a ribbon, making it easier to see shifts in trend strength. A wide ribbon typically indicates strong momentum, while a narrowing ribbon suggests the trend may be losing steam.
🧮 Calculation Rationale
🔎 The 1D EMA and 1D VWMA are constructed using 15-minute blocks to maintain accuracy on lower timeframes. A full trading day consists of 96 fifteen-minute intervals. Instead of relying on daily candle data, which would reduce the granularity of the moving averages, this method allows the indicator to reflect intra-day trends more accurately. By breaking the day into smaller increments, the moving averages adapt more smoothly to changes in price and volume, making them more reliable for traders working on shorter timeframes.
🔍 The weekly EMA follows the same logic, adjusting based on the selected five-day or seven-day setting. If the market follows a standard five-day trading week, the one-week EMA is calculated using 480 fifteen-minute bars. If the market trades seven days a week, such as in crypto, the weekly EMA is adjusted accordingly to reflect 672 fifteen-minute bars. This setting ensures that traders using the indicator across different asset classes receive accurate trend information.
🫤 Sideways Markets
🔄 When the broader market is in a range-bound state, with no clear trend on the one-day or one-week chart, this indicator helps traders make sense of the short-term price structure. In these conditions, the ribbon will often appear flat, with the 1D EMA and 1D VWMA frequently crossing each other. This suggests that momentum is weak and that price action lacks a strong directional bias.
⚠️ A narrowing ribbon in a sideways market indicates reduced volatility and a potential breakout. If the EMA crosses above the VWMA during consolidation, it may signal a short-term upward move, especially if volume begins to increase. Conversely, if the EMA moves below the VWMA, it could indicate that selling pressure is increasing. However, in choppy conditions, crossovers alone are not enough to confirm a trade. Traders should wait for additional confirmation, such as a breakout from a defined range or a shift in volume.
♭ If the weekly EMA remains flat while the daily ribbon fluctuates, it confirms that the market lacks a strong trend. In such cases, traders may consider fading moves near the top and bottom of a range rather than expecting sustained breakouts.
💹 Trending Markets
🏗️ When the market is in a strong uptrend or downtrend, the ribbon takes on a more structured shape. A widening ribbon that slopes upward signals strong bullish momentum, with price consistently respecting the 1D EMA and VWMA as support. In a downtrend, the ribbon slopes downward, acting as dynamic resistance.
📈 In trending conditions, traders can use the ribbon to time pullback entries. In an uptrend, price often retraces to the VWMA before resuming its upward move. If price holds above both the EMA and VWMA, the trend remains strong. If price begins to close below the VWMA but remains above the EMA, it suggests weakening momentum but not necessarily a reversal. A clean break below both moving averages indicates a shift in trend structure.
📊 The one-week EMA serves as a higher timeframe guide. When price remains above the weekly EMA, it confirms that the broader trend is intact. If price pulls back to the weekly EMA and bounces, it can provide a high-confidence trade entry. Conversely, if price breaks below the weekly EMA and fails to reclaim it, it suggests that the trend may be reversing.
⏳ 5-Day and 7-Day Week Variants
🎚️ The setting for a five-day or seven-day trading week adjusts the calculation of the one-week EMA. This ensures that the indicator remains accurate across different asset classes.
5️⃣ A five-day trading week is appropriate for stocks, futures, and forex markets, where trading pauses on weekends. Using a seven-day week for these markets would create artificial distortions by including non-trading days. 7️⃣ In contrast, the seven-day week setting is ideal for crypto markets, which trade continuously. Without this adjustment, the weekly EMA would fail to reflect weekend price action, leading to misleading trend signals.
🧐 This indicator is expressly designed to complement its higher timeframe counterpart, the Triple Differential Moving Average Braid, optimized for the 1-Day chart.
Breakout Support & Resistance SwiftEdgeBreakout Support & Resistance
The Breakout is a technical analysis tool designed to identify breakout opportunities in the market by detecting price movements through support and resistance levels. It plots potential entry points, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP) levels based on user-defined percentages, helping traders visualize breakout setups on their charts.
How It Works
Support and Resistance Detection: The indicator uses pivot points to identify support and resistance levels over a user-defined lookback period.
Breakout Identification: A breakout is confirmed when the price crosses above a resistance level (bullish) or below a support level (bearish) and remains there for a specified number of bars.
Entry, SL, and TP Levels: Upon a confirmed breakout, the indicator sets an entry point at the closing price and calculates SL, TP1, and TP2 levels based on user-defined percentages.
Directional Filtering: To avoid conflicting signals, the indicator filters breakouts based on the current trade direction. A new entry in the opposite direction is only set if the price moves a user-defined percentage away from the previous entry or if the previous trade hits its SL, TP1, or TP2.
Visuals: The indicator plots support and resistance lines, breakout labels, and entry/SL/TP levels on the chart. Users can choose to display only the latest entry or up to 5 recent entries.
Features
Customizable Settings: Adjust the lookback period for pivot points, breakout confirmation bars, SL/TP percentages, and more.
Directional Change Control: A direction change is indicated when the price moves significantly in the opposite direction, helping to manage trend reversals.
Multiple Entry Display: Option to show up to 5 recent entries for tracking multiple breakouts.
Alerts: Receive alerts when a breakout is confirmed, including entry, SL, TP1, and TP2 levels.
Settings
Pivot Lookback Length: Number of bars to look back for identifying support and resistance levels (default: 5).
Breakout Confirmation Bars: Number of bars the price must stay above/below the level to confirm a breakout (default: 2).
Take Profit 1 (%): First take-profit level as a percentage above/below the entry (default: 2.0%).

Quarterly Theory ICT 03 [TradingFinder] Precision Swing Points🔵 Introduction
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a divergence pattern in the closing of candles between two correlated assets, which can indicate a potential trend reversal. This structure appears at market turning points and highlights discrepancies between the price behavior of two related assets.
PSP typically forms in key timeframes such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 90-minute charts, and is often used in combination with Smart Money Concepts (SMT) to confirm trade entries.
PSP is categorized into Bearish PSP and Bullish PSP :
Bearish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous high, and its middle candle closes bullish, while the correlated asset closes bearish at the same level. This divergence signals weakness in the uptrend and a potential price reversal downward.
Bullish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous low, and its middle candle closes bearish, while the correlated asset closes bullish at the same level. This suggests weakness in the downtrend and a potential price increase.
🟣 Trading Strategies Using Precision Swing Point (PSP)
PSP can be integrated into various trading strategies to improve entry accuracy and filter out false signals. One common method is combining PSP with SMT (divergence between correlated assets), where traders identify divergence and enter a trade only after PSP confirms the move.
Additionally, PSP can act as a liquidity gap, meaning that price tends to react to the wick of the PSP candle, making it a favorable entry point with a tight stop-loss and high risk-to-reward ratio. Furthermore, PSP combined with Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps in higher timeframes allows traders to identify stronger reversal zones.
In lower timeframes, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts, PSP can serve as a confirmation for more precise entries in the direction of the higher timeframe trend. This is particularly useful in scalping and intraday trading, helping traders execute smarter entries while minimizing unnecessary stop-outs.
🔵 How to Use
PSP is a trading pattern based on divergence in candle closures between two correlated assets. This divergence signals a difference in trend strength and can be used to identify precise market turning points. PSP is divided into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each applicable for long and short trades.
🟣 Bullish PSP
A Bullish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bearish while the correlated asset closes bullish. This discrepancy indicates weakness in the downtrend and a potential price reversal upward.
Traders can use this as a signal for long (buy) trades. The best approach is to wait for price to return to the wick of the PSP candle, as this area typically acts as a liquidity level.
f PSP forms within an Order Block or Fair Value Gap in a higher timeframe, its reliability increases, allowing for entries with tight stop-loss and optimal risk-to-reward ratios.
🟣 Bearish PSP
A Bearish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bullish while the correlated asset closes bearish. This indicates weakness in the uptrend and a potential price decline.
Traders use this pattern to enter short (sell) trades. The best entry occurs when price retests the wick of the PSP candle, as this level often acts as a resistance zone, pushing price lower.
If PSP aligns with a significant liquidity area or Order Block in a higher timeframe, traders can enter with greater confidence and place their stop-loss just above the PSP wick.
Overall, PSP is a highly effective tool for filtering false signals and improving trade entry precision. Combining PSP with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes allows traders to execute higher-accuracy trades with lower risk.
🔵 Settings
Mode :
2 Symbol : Identifies PSP and PCP between two correlated assets.
3 Symbol : Compares three assets to detect more complex divergences and stronger confirmation signals.
Second Symbol : The second asset used in PSP and correlation calculations.
Third Symbol : Used in three-symbol mode for deeper PSP and PCP analysis.
Filter Precision X Point : Enables or disables filtering for more precise PSP and PCP detection. This filter only identifies PSP and PCP when the base asset's candle qualifies as a Pin Bar.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
🔵 Conclusion
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a powerful analytical tool in Smart Money trading strategies, helping traders identify precise market turning points by detecting divergences in candle closures between correlated assets. PSP is classified into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each playing a crucial role in detecting trend weaknesses and determining optimal entry points for long and short trades.
Using the PSP wick as a key liquidity level, integrating it with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps, and analyzing higher timeframes are effective techniques to enhance trade entries. Ultimately, PSP serves as a complementary tool for improving entry accuracy and reducing unnecessary stop-outs, making it a valuable addition to Smart Money trading methodologies.

BTCUSD with adjustable sl,tpThis strategy is designed for swing traders who want to enter long positions on pullbacks after a short-term trend shift, while also allowing immediate short entries when conditions favor downside movement. It combines SMA crossovers, a fixed-percentage retracement entry, and adjustable risk management parameters for optimal trade execution.
Key Features:
✅ Trend Confirmation with SMA Crossover
The 10-period SMA crossing above the 25-period SMA signals a bullish trend shift.
The 10-period SMA crossing below the 25-period SMA signals a bearish trend shift.
Short trades are only taken if the price is below the 150 EMA, ensuring alignment with the broader trend.
📉 Long Pullback Entry Using Fixed Percentage Retracement
Instead of entering immediately on the SMA crossover, the strategy waits for a retracement before going long.
The pullback entry is defined as a percentage retracement from the recent high, allowing for an optimized entry price.
The retracement percentage is fully adjustable in the settings (default: 1%).
A dynamic support level is plotted on the chart to visualize the pullback entry zone.
📊 Short Entry Rules
If the SMA(10) crosses below the SMA(25) and price is below the 150 EMA, a short trade is immediately entered.

Risk MeterRisk Meter Indicator for TradingView
The Risk Meter is a powerful market risk assessment tool designed to help traders evaluate the current risk environment using a simple, data-driven score. By analyzing four critical market factors—VIX (volatility index), market breadth, trailing volatility, and credit spreads—the indicator generates a risk score between 0 and 4. This score empowers traders to make informed decisions about hedging, exiting positions, or re-entering the market, with clear visual cues and alerts for intraday monitoring.
What It Does
Calculates a Risk Score: Assigns a score from 0 to 4, where each point reflects an active risk condition based on four market indicators.
Identifies Risk Levels:
A score of 3 or higher indicates a high-risk environment, suggesting traders consider hedging or reducing exposure.
A score of 2 or lower for at least two consecutive days signals a potential opportunity to re-enter the market.
Provides Visual Feedback: Uses color-coded Columns, threshold markers, and a component table for quick interpretation.
Supports Decision-Making: Offers a structured approach to managing risk and timing trades.
How It Works
The Risk Meter aggregates four key risk conditions, each contributing 1 point to the total score when triggered:
Elevated and Rising VIX (Risk 1)
Condition: The VIX is above 18 and higher than it was 20 days ago.
Purpose: Detects increasing market fear or uncertainty.
Market Breadth Dropping (Risk 2)
Condition: Either:
Fewer than 50% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 200-day moving average and fewer than 70% are above their 50-day moving average, or
The 3-day EMA of the 200-day breadth falls below 80% of its 20-day SMA.
Purpose: Identifies weakening participation across the market.
Trailing Volatility (Risk 3)
Condition: The 30-day annualized volatility of the equal-weight S&P 500 (RSP) exceeds 35%.
Purpose: Highlights periods of heightened price instability.
Credit Spreads (Risk 4)
Condition: The price ratio of high-yield bonds (HYG) to Treasuries (TLT or IEF) is lower than it was 20 days ago, indicating widening credit spreads.
Purpose: Signals potential stress in credit markets.
The total risk score is the sum of these conditions (0 to 4). Additionally, the indicator tracks consecutive days with a score of 2 or lower to generate re-entry signals.
How to Read It Intraday
The Risk Meter is built on daily data but can be monitored intraday for real-time insights. Here’s how traders can interpret it:
Risk Score Plot:
Displayed as a step line ranging from 0 to 4.
Colors:
Red: High risk (score ≥ 3) – caution advised.
Green: Re-entry signal – score ≤ 2 for at least two consecutive days (triggered when the count increments from 1 to 2).
Blue: Neutral or low risk (score < 3 without a re-entry signal).
Threshold Lines:
Dashed Gray Line at 3: Marks the high-risk threshold.
Dotted Gray Line at 2: Indicates the low-risk threshold for re-entry signals.
Risk Component Table:
Located in the top-right corner, it lists:
VIX, Breadth, Volatility, and Credit Spreads.
Status: Shows "" (warning, red) if the risk condition is met, or "✓" (safe, blue) if not.
Helps traders pinpoint which factors are driving the score.
Alerts:
High Risk Alert: Triggers when the score moves from < 3 to ≥ 3.
Re-entry Signal Alert: Triggers when the score ≤ 2 for two consecutive days.
Intraday Usage Tips
Check the indicator throughout the day for early signs of risk shifts, especially if the score is near a threshold (e.g., 2 or 3).
Combine with other intraday tools (e.g., price action, volume) since the Risk Meter updates daily but reflects broader market conditions.
How Traders Can Use It
High-Risk Signal (Score ≥ 3):
Consider hedging positions (e.g., with options) or reducing equity exposure to protect against potential downturns.
Re-entry Signal (Score ≤ 2 for 2+ Days):
Look to re-enter the market or increase exposure, as it suggests stabilizing conditions.
Daily Risk Management:
Use the score and table to assess overall market health and adjust strategies accordingly.
Alert-Driven Trading:
Set up alerts to stay notified of critical risk changes without constant monitoring.
Why Use the Risk Meter?
This indicator offers a systematic, multi-factor approach to risk assessment, blending volatility, breadth, and credit market data into an easy-to-read score. Whether you’re an intraday trader or a longer-term investor, the Risk Meter helps you stay proactive, avoid surprises, and time your trades with greater confidence.
