IU Higher Timeframe MA Cross StrategyIU Higher Timeframe MA Cross Strategy
The IU Higher Timeframe MA Cross Strategy is a versatile trading tool designed to identify trend by utilizing two customizable moving averages (MAs) across different timeframes and types. This strategy includes detailed entry and exit rules with fully configurable inputs, offering flexibility to suit various trading styles.
Key Features:
- Two moving averages (MA1 and MA2) with customizable types, lengths, sources, and timeframes.
- Both long and short trade setups based on MA crossovers.
- Integrated risk management with adjustable stop-loss and take-profit levels based on a user-defined risk-to-reward (RTR) ratio.
- Clear visualization of MAs, entry points, stop-loss, and take-profit zones.
Inputs:
1. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR):
- Defines the take-profit level in relation to the stop-loss distance. Default is 2.
2. MA1 Settings:
- Source: Select the data source for calculating MA1 (e.g., close, open, high, low). Default is close.
- Timeframe: Specify the timeframe for MA1 calculation. Default is 60 (60-minute chart).
- Length: Set the lookback period for MA1 calculation. Default is 20.
- Type: Choose the type of moving average (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). Default is EMA.
- Smooth: Option to enable or disable smoothing of MA1 to merge gaps. Default is true.
3. MA2 Settings:
- Source: Select the data source for calculating MA2 (e.g., close, open, high, low). Default is close.

- Length: Set the lookback period for MA2 calculation. Default is 50.
- Type: Choose the type of moving average (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). Default is EMA.
- Smooth: Option to enable or disable smoothing of MA2 to merge gaps. Default is true.
Entry Rules:
- Long Entry:
- Triggered when MA1 crosses above MA2 (crossover).
- Entry is confirmed only when the bar is closed and no existing position is active.
- Short Entry:
- Triggered when MA1 crosses below MA2 (crossunder).
- Entry is confirmed only when the bar is closed and no existing position is active.
Exit Rules:
- Stop-Loss:
- For long positions: Set at the low of the bar preceding the entry.
- For short positions: Set at the high of the bar preceding the entry.
- Take-Profit:
- For long positions: Calculated as (Entry Price - Stop-Loss) * RTR + Entry Price.
- For short positions: Calculated as Entry Price - (Stop-Loss - Entry Price) * RTR.
Visualization:
- Plots MA1 and MA2 on the chart with distinct colors for easy identification.
- Highlights stop-loss and take-profit levels using shaded zones for clear visual representation.
- Displays the entry level for active positions.
This strategy provides a robust framework for traders to identify and act on trend reversals while maintaining strict risk management. The flexibility of its inputs allows for seamless customization to adapt to various market conditions and trading preferences.

RISK MANAGEMENT TABLEThis updated Risk Management Indicator is a powerful and customizable tool designed to help traders effectively manage risk on every trade. By dynamically calculating position size, stop-loss, and take-profit levels, it enables traders to stay disciplined and follow predefined risk parameters directly on their charts.
Features:
Dynamic Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
Stop-loss is based on the Average True Range (ATR), offering a flexible way to account for
market volatility.
Take-profit levels can be customized as a percentage of the entry price, providing a clear
target for trade exits.
Position Sizing Calculation:
The indicator computes the maximum position size by considering:
Trade amount (montant_ligne).
Risk percentage per trade.
Transaction fees.
Visual Representation:
Displays stop-loss and take-profit levels on the chart as customizable lines.
Optional visibility of these lines through checkboxes in the settings panel.
Comprehensive Risk Table:
A table on the chart summarizes essential risk metrics:
Stop-loss value.
Distance from entry in percentage.
Position size (maximum suggested).
Take-profit price.
Customizable:
Adjust parameters like ATR length, smoothing type, risk percentage, transaction fees,
and take-profit percentage.
Modify the visual length of lines representing stop-loss and take-profit levels.
How It Works:
Stop-Loss Calculation:
The stop-loss level is calculated using ATR and a volatility factor (default: 2).
This ensures your stop-loss adapts to market conditions.
Take-Profit Calculation:
Take-profit is derived as a percentage increase from the entry price.
Position Size:
The optimal position size is computed as:
Position Size = Risk per Trade /ATR-based Stop Distance
The risk per trade deducts transaction fees to provide a more accurate calculation.
Visual Lines:
Risk Table:
The table displays updated stop-loss, position size, and take-profit metrics at a glance.
Settings Panel:
Length: ATR length for calculating market volatility.
Smoothing: Choose RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for ATR smoothing.
Trade Amount: The capital allocated to a single trade.
Risk by Trade (%): Define how much of your trade capital is at risk per trade.
Transaction Fees: Input fees to ensure realistic calculations.
Take Profit (%): Specify your desired take-profit percentage.
Show Entry Stop Loss: Toggle visibility of the stop-loss line.
Show Entry Take Profit: Toggle visibility of the take-profit line.
Gold Trade Setup Strategy
Title: Profitable Gold Setup Strategy with Adaptive Moving Average & Supertrend
Introduction:
This trading strategy for Gold (XAU/USD) combines the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and Supertrend, tailored for high-probability setups during specific trading hours. The AMA identifies the trend, while the Supertrend confirms entry and exit points. The strategy is optimized for swing and intraday traders looking to capitalize on Gold’s price movements with precise trade timing.
Strategy Components:
1. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
• Reacts dynamically to market conditions, filtering noise in choppy markets.
• Serves as the primary trend indicator.
2. Supertrend:
• Confirms entry signals with clear buy and sell levels.
• Acts as a trailing stop-loss to protect profits.
Trading Rules:
Trading Hours:
• Only take trades between 8:30 AM and 10:30 PM IST.
• Avoid trading outside these hours to reduce noise and low-volume setups.
Buy Setup:
1. Trend Confirmation: The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) must be green.
2. Signal Confirmation: The Supertrend should turn green after the AMA is green.
3. Trigger: Take the trade when the high of the trigger candle (the candle that turned Supertrend green) is broken.
Sell Setup (Optional if included):
• Reverse the rules for a short trade: AMA and Supertrend should both indicate bearish conditions (red), and take the trade when the low of the trigger candle is broken.
Stop-Loss and Targets:
• Place the stop-loss at the low of the trigger candle for long trades.
• Set a 1:2 risk-reward ratio or use the Supertrend line as a trailing stop-loss.
Timeframes:
• Recommended timeframes: 1H, 4H, or Daily for swing trading.
• For intraday trading, use 15-minute or 30-minute charts.
Why This Strategy Works:
• Combines trend-following (AMA) with momentum-based entries (Supertrend).
• Focused trading hours filter out low-probability setups.
• Provides precise entry, stop-loss, and target levels for disciplined trading.
Conclusion:
This Gold Setup Strategy is designed for traders seeking a structured approach to trading Gold. Follow the rules strictly, backtest the strategy extensively, and share your results. Let’s master the Gold market together!

Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Hope you enjoy!
IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.
Long Position with 1:3 Risk Reward and 20EMA CrossoverThe provided Pine Script code implements a strategy to identify long entry signals based on a 20-EMA crossover on a 5-minute timeframe. Once a buy signal is triggered, it calculates and plots the following:
Entry Price: The price at which the buy signal is generated.
Stop Loss: The low of the previous candle, acting as a risk management tool.
Take Profit: The price level calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio.
Key Points:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current 5-minute candle closes above the 20-EMA.
Risk Management: The stop-loss is set below the entry candle to limit potential losses.
Profit Target: The take-profit is calculated based on a 1:3 risk-reward ratio, aiming for a potential profit three times the size of the risk.
Visualization: The script plots the entry price, stop-loss, and take-profit levels on the chart for visual clarity.
Remember:
Backtesting: It's crucial to backtest this strategy on historical data to evaluate its performance and optimize parameters.
Risk Management: Always use appropriate risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital.
Market Conditions: Market conditions can change, and strategies that worked in the past may not perform as well in the future. Continuously monitor and adapt your strategy.
By understanding the core components of this script and applying sound risk management principles, you can effectively use it to identify potential long entry opportunities in the market.
3 EMA + RSI with Trail Stop [Free990] (LOW TF)This trading strategy combines three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify trend direction, uses RSI to signal exit conditions, and applies both a fixed percentage stop-loss and a trailing stop for risk management. It aims to capture momentum when the faster EMAs cross the slower EMA, then uses RSI thresholds, time-based exits, and stops to close trades.
Short Explanation of the Logic
Trend Detection: When the 10 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA and both are above the 100 EMA (and the current price bar closes higher), it triggers a long entry signal. The reverse happens for a short (the 10 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA and both are below the 100 EMA).
RSI Exit: RSI crossing above a set threshold closes long trades; crossing below another threshold closes short trades.
Time-Based Exit: If a trade is in profit after a set number of bars, the strategy closes it.
Stop-Loss & Trailing Stop: A fixed stop-loss based on a percentage from the entry price guards against large drawdowns. A trailing stop dynamically tightens as the trade moves in favor, locking in potential gains.
Detailed Explanation of the Strategy Logic
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Setup
Short EMA (out_a, length=10)
Medium EMA (out_b, length=20)
Long EMA (out_c, length=100)
The code calculates three separate EMAs to gauge short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trend behavior. By comparing their relative positions, the strategy infers whether the market is bullish (EMAs stacked positively) or bearish (EMAs stacked negatively).
Entry Conditions
Long Entry (entryLong): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses above the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are above the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes higher than it opened (close > open).
This suggests that momentum is shifting to the upside (short-term EMAs crossing up and price action turning bullish). If there’s an existing short position, it’s closed first before opening a new long.
Short Entry (entryShort): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses below the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are below the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes lower than it opened (close < open).
This indicates a potential shift to the downside. If there’s an existing long position, that gets closed first before opening a new short.
Exit Signals
RSI-Based Exits:
For long trades: When RSI exceeds a specified threshold (e.g., 70 by default), it triggers a long exit. RSI > short_rsi generally means overbought conditions, so the strategy exits to lock in profits or avoid a pullback.
For short trades: When RSI dips below a specified threshold (e.g., 30 by default), it triggers a short exit. RSI < long_rsi indicates oversold conditions, so the strategy closes the short to avoid a bounce.
Time-Based Exit:
If the trade has been open for xBars bars (configurable, e.g., 24 bars) and the trade is in profit (current price above entry for a long, or current price below entry for a short), the strategy closes the position. This helps lock in gains if the move takes too long or momentum stalls.
Stop-Loss Management
Fixed Stop-Loss (% Based): Each trade has a fixed stop-loss calculated as a percentage from the average entry price.
For long positions, the stop-loss is set below the entry price by a user-defined percentage (fixStopLossPerc).
For short positions, the stop-loss is set above the entry price by the same percentage.
This mechanism prevents catastrophic losses if the market moves strongly against the position.
Trailing Stop:
The strategy also sets a trail stop using trail_points (the distance in price points) and trail_offset (how quickly the stop “catches up” to price).
As the market moves in favor of the trade, the trailing stop gradually tightens, allowing profits to run while still capping potential drawdowns if the price reverses.
Order Execution Flow
When the conditions for a new position (long or short) are triggered, the strategy first checks if there’s an opposite position open. If there is, it closes that position before opening the new one (prevents going “both long and short” simultaneously).
RSI-based and time-based exits are checked on each bar. If triggered, the position is closed.
If the position remains open, the fixed stop-loss and trailing stop remain in effect until the position is exited.
Why This Combination Works
Multiple EMA Cross: Combining 10, 20, and 100 EMAs balances short-term momentum detection with a longer-term trend filter. This reduces false signals that can occur if you only look at a single crossover without considering the broader trend.
RSI Exits: RSI provides a momentum oscillator view—helpful for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, acting as an extra confirmation to exit.
Time-Based Exit: Prevents “lingering trades.” If the position is in profit but failing to advance further, it takes profit rather than risking a trend reversal.
Fixed & Trailing Stop-Loss: The fixed stop-loss is your safety net to cap worst-case losses. The trailing stop allows the strategy to lock in gains by following the trade as it moves favorably, thus maximizing profit potential while keeping risk in check.
Overall, this approach tries to capture momentum from EMA crossovers, protect profits with trailing stops, and limit risk through both a fixed percentage stop-loss and exit signals from RSI/time-based logic.

Chande Volatility-Based Trailing Stops This indicator is developed from a description outlined in the Chande - Kroll book, "The New Technical Trader". It is designed to help control risk by plotting two lines that function as long and short trailing stops.
How does it work?
"These stops are derived from recent highest high or lowest low. They adjust based on volatility. However, to avoid giving up a sizable chunk of profit before the stop is hit, it is modified in such a way that the stop can only advance with price, not retreat. This will lock in a greater portion of potential profits..."
Settings:
The default settings are those described in the book. They are described as being best for intermediate term trades. Use the multiplier to tighten or loosen the stop. A smaller multiplier will result in tighter stops. It is recommended to adjust this value for your preferred timeframe. You can toggle the trailing stop lines on or off as well as cross over marker.

Edwin K Stochastic Candle ColorsThe Stochastic Candle Colors indicator highlights price action using candle colors based on signals from the stochastic oscillator. Here's how to use it:
1. Indicator Purpose
This indicator overlays on your price chart and changes candle colors based on stochastic oscillator signals:
Green candles: Indicate a bullish signal when the %K line crosses above the %D line in an oversold area (below 20).
Red candles: Indicate a bearish signal when the %K line crosses below the %D line in an overbought area (above 80).
2. How to Use the Inputs
K (periodK): The lookback period for calculating the %K line of the stochastic oscillator. A smaller value makes the indicator more sensitive to price changes.
D (periodD): The period for smoothing the %K line to get the %D line. A larger value creates smoother signals but may result in delays.
Smooth (smoothK): The additional smoothing applied to the %K line before calculating the %D line. This helps reduce noise.
3. How to Interpret the Candle Colors
Green Candle:
Occurs when the %K line crosses above the %D line in the oversold zone (below 20).
Signals a potential bullish reversal.
Red Candle:
Occurs when the %K line crosses below the %D line in the overbought zone (above 80).
Signals a potential bearish reversal.
No Color:
No crossover occurs, or the crossover doesn't happen in overbought/oversold zones.
4. Application in Trading
Entry Points:
Buy when you see a green candle and confirm with other indicators or chart patterns.
Sell when you see a red candle and confirm with additional signals.
Trend Context:
Combine this indicator with trend-following tools like moving averages or support/resistance levels to improve accuracy.
Stop Loss/Take Profit:
Use nearby swing highs/lows for stop-loss placement.
Set profit targets based on risk-reward ratios or key levels.
5. Customization
Adjust the input parameters (K, D, and Smooth) to align the indicator's sensitivity with your trading style:
Short-term traders might prefer lower values for quicker signals.
Long-term traders might opt for higher values for smoother, more reliable signals.
6. Limitations
Signals in isolation might not be reliable. Always use this indicator in conjunction with other tools.
Avoid using during low volatility or sideways markets as stochastic oscillators can produce false signals.
SMA Buy/Sell Strategy with Significant Slope and Dynamic TP/SLDescription:
This strategy uses a simple moving average (SMA) to detect trading opportunities based on the slope and proximity of price action. It ensures trades are only executed during significant trends, reducing false signals caused by sideways movements. The strategy incorporates dynamic risk management with an initial ambitious Take Profit (TP) and a Trailing Stop Loss (SL) to protect profits.
Key Features:
Trend Detection with SMA:
Two SMAs are calculated: one on High values and one on Low values.
Signals are generated when the price crosses these SMAs, ensuring:
Buy: Price closes above the SMA on High, with a significant upward slope.
Sell: Price closes below the SMA on Low, with a significant downward slope.
Slope Significance Check:
The slope of the SMA is calculated over a configurable period.
Only trends with a slope variation exceeding a user-defined percentage threshold are considered significant.
Dynamic Risk Management:
Ambitious Initial TP: Positions target a high percentage gain upon entry.
Trailing SL: Automatically adjusts as the price moves in favor of the trade, locking in profits.
Automatic Position Management:
Opposing signals close existing positions to avoid conflicting trades.
Configurable position size for risk control.
Parameters:
SMA Period: Number of candles for calculating the SMA.
Initial Take Profit (%): Percentage gain for the initial TP.
Trailing Stop Loss (%): Percentage for trailing SL based on the current price.
Slope Threshold (%): Minimum percentage change in SMA slope to confirm trend significance.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
The price closes above the SMA on High values.
The slope of the SMA (on High) is positive and exceeds the slope threshold.
Sell Signal:
The price closes below the SMA on Low values.
The slope of the SMA (on Low) is negative and exceeds the slope threshold.
Exits:
A position closes at the Take Profit level, Trailing Stop Loss, or when an opposing signal is generated.
Use Case:
This strategy is ideal for trending markets where price action respects moving averages. It can be used on any timeframe or asset but is particularly effective in markets with clear directional movements.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframe: Works well on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily).
Slope Threshold (%): Default is 5%, adjust based on market volatility.
Initial TP and Trailing SL: Tailor to your risk/reward preferences.
By utilizing this strategy, traders can capitalize on significant market trends while dynamically managing risk. Test it on historical data to optimize the parameters for your preferred market!
16. SMC Strategy with SL - low TimeframeOverview
The "SMC Strategy with SL - low Timeframe" is a comprehensive trading strategy that uses key concepts from Smart Money Theory to identify favorable areas in the market for buying or selling. This strategy takes advantage of price imbalances, support and resistance zones, and swing highs/lows to generate high-probability trade signals.
The key features of this strategy include:
Swing High/Low Analysis: Used to determine the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones.
Order Block Integration: An added layer of confluence to identify valid buy and sell signals.
Trend Direction Confirmation: Using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the overall trend.
Entry and Exit Rules: Based on price position relative to key zones and moving average, along with optional stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Detailed Description
Swing High and Swing Low Analysis
The script calculates Swing High and Swing Low based on the most recent price highs and lows over a specified look-back period (swingHighLength and swingLowLength, set to 8 by default).
It then derives the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones:
Premium Zone: Represents potential resistance, calculated based on recent swing highs.
Discount Zone: Represents potential support, calculated based on recent swing lows.
Equilibrium: The midpoint between Swing High and Swing Low, dividing the price range into Premium (above equilibrium) and Discount (below equilibrium) areas.
Zone Visualization
The strategy plots the Premium Zone (resistance) in red, the Discount Zone (support) in green, and the Equilibrium level in blue on the chart. This helps visually assess the current price relative to these important areas.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is added to help identify the trend direction.
Buy signals are valid only if the price is above the SMA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals are valid only if the price is below the SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Entry Rules
The script generates buy or sell signals when certain conditions are met:
A buy signal is triggered when:
Price is below the Equilibrium and within the Discount Zone.
Price is above the SMA.
The buy signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent lowest price area).
A sell signal is triggered when:
Price is above the Equilibrium and within the Premium Zone.
Price is below the SMA.
The sell signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent highest price area).
Order Block
The strategy defines Order Blocks as recent highs and lows within a look-back period (orderBlockLength set to 20 by default).
These blocks represent areas where large players (smart money) have historically been active, increasing the probability of the price reacting in these areas again.
Trade Management and Trade Direction
The user can set Trade Direction to either "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both." This allows the strategy to adapt based on market conditions or trading preferences.
Based on the Trade Direction, the strategy either:
Closes open trades that are against new signals.
Allows only specific directional trades (either long or short).
Stop-loss levels are defined based on a fixed percentage (stop_loss_percent), which helps to manage risk and minimize losses.
Exit Rules
The strategy uses stop-loss levels for risk management.
A stop-loss price is set at a fixed percentage below the entry price for long positions or above the entry price for short positions.
When the price hits the defined stop-loss level, the trade is closed.
Liquidity Zones
The script identifies recent Swing Highs and Lows as potential liquidity zones. These are levels where price could react strongly, as they represent areas of interest for large traders.
The liquidity zones are plotted as crosses on the chart, marking areas where price may encounter significant buying or selling pressure.
Visual Feedback
The script uses visual markers (green for buy signals and red for sell signals) to indicate potential entries on the chart.
It also plots liquidity zones to help traders identify areas where stop hunts and liquidity grabs might occur.
Monthly Performance Dashboard
The script includes a performance tracking feature that displays monthly profit and loss metrics on the chart.
This dashboard allows the trader to see a visual representation of trading performance over time, providing insights into profitability and consistency.
The table shows profit or loss for each month and year, allowing the user to track the overall success of the strategy.
Key Benefits
Smart Money Concepts (SMC): This strategy incorporates SMC principles like order blocks and liquidity zones, which are used by institutional traders to determine potential market moves.
Zone Analysis: The use of Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones provides a solid framework for determining where to enter and exit trades based on price discounts or premiums.
Confluence: Signals are not taken in isolation. They are confirmed by factors like trend direction (SMA) and order blocks, providing greater trade accuracy.
Risk Management: By integrating stop-loss functionality, traders can manage their risks effectively.
Visual Performance Metrics: The monthly and yearly performance dashboard gives valuable feedback on how well the strategy has performed historically.
Practical Use
Buy in Discount Zone: Traders would be looking to buy when the price is discounted relative to its recent range and is above the SMA, indicating an overall uptrend.
Sell in Premium Zone: Conversely, traders would be looking to sell when the price is at a premium relative to its recent range and below the SMA, indicating an overall downtrend.
Order Block Confirmation: Ensures that buying or selling is supported by historical price behavior at significant levels, providing confidence that the market is likely to react at these areas.
This strategy is designed to help traders take advantage of price inefficiencies and areas where institutional traders are likely to be active, increasing the odds of successful trades. By leveraging Smart Money concepts and strong technical confluence, it aims to provide high-probability trade setups.
Optimized Grid with KNN_2.0Strategy Overview
This strategy, named "Optimized Grid with KNN_2.0," is designed to optimize trading decisions using a combination of grid trading, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, and a greedy algorithm. The strategy aims to maximize profits by dynamically adjusting entry and exit thresholds based on market conditions and historical data.
Key Components
Grid Trading:
The strategy uses a grid-based approach to place buy and sell orders at predefined price levels. This helps in capturing profits from market fluctuations.
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Algorithm:
The KNN algorithm is used to optimize entry and exit points based on historical price data. It identifies the nearest neighbors (similar price movements) and adjusts the thresholds accordingly.
Greedy Algorithm:
The greedy algorithm is employed to dynamically adjust the stop-loss and take-profit levels. It ensures that the strategy captures maximum profits by adjusting thresholds based on recent price changes.
Detailed Explanation
Grid Trading:
The strategy defines a grid of price levels where buy and sell orders are placed. The openTh and closeTh parameters determine the thresholds for opening and closing positions.
The t3_fast and t3_slow indicators are used to generate trading signals based on the crossover and crossunder of these indicators.
KNN Algorithm:
The KNN algorithm is used to find the nearest neighbors (similar price movements) in the historical data. It calculates the distance between the current price and historical prices to identify the most similar price movements.
The algorithm then adjusts the entry and exit thresholds based on the average change in price of the nearest neighbors.
Greedy Algorithm:
The greedy algorithm dynamically adjusts the stop-loss and take-profit levels based on recent price changes. It ensures that the strategy captures maximum profits by adjusting thresholds in real-time.
The algorithm uses the average_change variable to calculate the average price change of the nearest neighbors and adjusts the thresholds accordingly.
Global Index Spread RSI StrategyThis strategy leverages the relative strength index (RSI) to monitor the price spread between a global benchmark index (such as AMEX) and the currently opened asset in the chart window. By calculating the spread between these two, the strategy uses RSI to identify oversold and overbought conditions to trigger buy and sell signals.
Key Components:
Global Benchmark Index: The strategy compares the current asset with a predefined global index (e.g., AMEX) to measure relative performance. The choice of a global benchmark allows the trader to analyze the current asset's movement in the context of broader market trends.
Spread Calculation:
The spread is calculated as the percentage difference between the current asset's closing price and the global benchmark index's closing price:
Spread=Current Asset Close−Global Index CloseGlobal Index Close×100
Spread=Global Index CloseCurrent Asset Close−Global Index Close×100
This metric provides a measure of how the current asset is performing relative to the global index. A positive spread indicates the asset is outperforming the benchmark, while a negative spread signals underperformance.
RSI of the Spread: The RSI is then calculated on the spread values. The RSI is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100 and is commonly used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in asset prices. An RSI below 30 is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity, while an RSI above 70 is overbought, suggesting that the asset may be due for a pullback.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the RSI of the spread falls below the oversold threshold (default 30). This suggests that the asset may have been oversold relative to the global benchmark and might be due for a reversal.
Exit Condition: The strategy exits the long position when the RSI of the spread rises above the overbought threshold (default 70), indicating that the asset may have become overbought and a price correction is likely.
Visual Reference:
The RSI of the spread is plotted on the chart for visual reference, making it easier for traders to monitor the relative strength of the asset in relation to the global benchmark.
Overbought and oversold levels are also drawn as horizontal reference lines (70 and 30), along with a neutral level at 50 to show market equilibrium.
Theoretical Basis:
The strategy is built on the mean reversion principle, which suggests that asset prices tend to revert to a long-term average over time. When prices move too far from this mean—either being overbought or oversold—they are likely to correct back toward equilibrium. By using RSI to identify these extremes, the strategy aims to profit from price reversals.
Mean Reversion: According to financial theory, asset prices oscillate around a long-term average, and any extreme deviation (overbought or oversold conditions) presents opportunities for price corrections (Poterba & Summers, 1988).
Momentum Indicators (RSI): The RSI is widely used in technical analysis to measure the momentum of an asset. Its application to the spread between the asset and a global benchmark allows for a more nuanced view of relative performance and potential turning points in the asset's price trajectory.
Practical Application:
This strategy works best in markets where relative strength is a key factor in decision-making, such as in equity indices, commodities, or forex markets. By assessing the performance of the asset relative to a global benchmark and utilizing RSI to identify extremes in price movements, the strategy helps traders to make more informed decisions based on potential mean reversion points.
While the "Global Index Spread RSI Strategy" offers a method for identifying potential price reversals based on relative strength and oversold/overbought conditions, it is important to recognize that no strategy is foolproof. The strategy assumes that the historical relationship between the asset and the global benchmark will hold in the future, but financial markets are subject to a wide array of unpredictable factors that can lead to sudden changes in price behavior.
Risk of False Signals:
The strategy relies heavily on the RSI to trigger buy and sell signals. However, like any momentum-based indicator, RSI can generate false signals, particularly in highly volatile or trending markets. In such conditions, the strategy may enter positions too early or exit too late, leading to potential losses.
Market Context:
The strategy may not account for macroeconomic events, news, or other market forces that could cause sudden shifts in asset prices. External factors, such as geopolitical developments, monetary policy changes, or financial crises, can cause a divergence between the asset and the global benchmark, leading to incorrect conclusions from the strategy.
Overfitting Risk:
As with any strategy that uses historical data to make decisions, there is a risk of overfitting the model to past performance. This could result in a strategy that works well on historical data but performs poorly in live trading conditions due to changes in market dynamics.
Execution Risks:
The strategy does not account for slippage, transaction costs, or liquidity issues, which can impact the execution of trades in real-market conditions. In fast-moving markets, prices may move significantly between order placement and execution, leading to worse-than-expected entry or exit prices.
No Guarantee of Profit:
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The strategy should be used with caution, and risk management techniques (such as stop losses and position sizing) should always be implemented to protect against significant losses.
Traders should thoroughly test and adapt the strategy in a simulated environment before applying it to live trades, and consider seeking professional advice to ensure that their trading activities align with their risk tolerance and financial goals.

Adaptive Linear Regression ChannelOverview
The Adaptive Linear Regression Channel Script is an advanced, multi-functional trading tool crafted to help traders pinpoint market trends, identify potential reversals, assess volatility, and establish dynamic levels for profit-taking and position exits. By incorporating key concepts such as linear regression , standard deviation , and other volatility measures like the ATR , the script offers a comprehensive view of market behavior beyond traditional deviation metrics.
This dynamic model continuously adapts to changing market conditions, adjusting in real-time to provide clear visualizations of trends, channels, and volatility levels. This adaptability makes the script invaluable for both trend-following and counter-trend strategies, giving traders the flexibility to respond effectively to different market environments.
Background
What is Linear Regression?
Definition : Linear regression is a statistical technique used to model the relationship between a dependent variable (target) and one or more independent variables (predictors).
In its simplest form (simple linear regression), the relationship between two variables is represented by a straight line (the regression line).
y = mx + b
where :
- y is the target variable (price)
- m is the slope
- x is the independent variable (time)
- b is the intercept
Slope of the Regression Line
Definition: The slope (m) measures the rate at which the dependent variable (y) changes as the independent variable (x) changes.
Interpretation:
- A positive slope indicates an uptrend.
- A negative slope indicates a downtrend.
Uses in Trading:
- Identifying the strength and direction of market trends.
- Assessing the momentum of price movements.
R-squared (Coefficient of Determination)
Definition: A measure of how well the regression line fits the data, ranging from 0 to 1.
Calculation :
R2 = 1− (SS tot/SS res)
where:
- SSres is the sum of squared residuals.
- SStot is the total sum of squares.
Interpretation:
- Higher R2 indicates a better fit, meaning the model explains a larger proportion of the variance in the data.
Uses in Trading:
- Higher R-squared values give traders confidence in trend-based signals.
- Low R-squared values may suggest that the market is more random or volatile.
Standard Deviation
Definition: Standard Deviation quantifies the dispersion of data points in a dataset relative to the mean. A low standard deviation indicates that data points tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a larger range of values.
Calculation
σ=√∑(xi−μ)2/N
Where
- σ is the standard deviation.
- ∑ is the summation symbol, indicating that the expression that follows should be summed over all data points.
- xi, this represents the i-th data point in the dataset.
- μ\mu, this represents the mean(average) of all the data points in the dataset.
- (xi−μ)2, this is the squared difference between each data point and the mean.
- N is the total number of data points in the dataset.
- **Interpretation**
- A higher standard deviation indicates greater volatility.
- Useful for identifying overbought/oversold conditions in markets.
Key Features
Dynamic Linear Regression Channels:
The script automatically generates adaptive regression channels that expand or contract based on the current market volatility. This real-time adjustment ensures that traders are always working with the most relevant data, making it easier to spot key support and resistance levels.
The channel width itself serves as an indicator of market volatility, expanding during periods of heightened uncertainty and contracting during more stable phases. Additionally, the channel width is trained on previous channel widths , allowing the script to adapt and provide a more accurate view of volatility trends of the asset. Traders can also customize the script to train on less historical data , enabling a more recent view of volatility , which is particularly useful in fast-moving or changing markets.
Dynamic Profits and Stops:
What is it?
Dynamic profit levels allow traders to adjust take-profit targets based on real-time market conditions. Unlike static levels, which remain fixed regardless of market changes, these adaptive levels leverage past volatility data to create more flexible profit-taking strategies.
How does it work?
The script determines these levels using previously stored deviation values. These deviations are categorized into quantiles (like Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.) to classify current market conditions. As new deviation data is recorded, the profit levels are adjusted dynamically to reflect changes in market volatility. This approach helps to refine profit targets, especially when using regression channels with standard deviation rather than traditional ATR bands.
Why is it valuable?
By utilizing adaptive profit levels, traders can optimize their exits based on the current volatility landscape. For instance, when volatility increases, the dynamic levels expand, allowing trades to capture larger price movements. Conversely, during low volatility, profit targets tighten to lock in gains sooner, reducing exposure to market reversals. This flexibility is especially beneficial when combined with adaptive regression channels that respond to changes in standard deviation.
Slope-Based Trend Analysis:
One of the core elements of this script is the slope of the regression line , which helps define the direction and strength of the trend. Positive slopes indicate bullish momentum, while negative slopes suggest bearish conditions. The slope's steepness gives traders insight into the market's momentum, allowing them to adjust their strategies based on the strength of the trend.
Additionally, the script uses the slope to create a color gradient , which visually represents the intensity of the market's momentum. The gradient peaks at one color to show the maximum bullish momentum experienced in the past, while another color represents the maximum bearish momentum experienced in the past. This color-coded visualization makes it easier for traders to quickly assess the market's strength and direction at a glance.
Volatility Heatmap:
The integrated heatmap provides an intuitive, color-coded visualization of market volatility. The heatmap highlights areas where price action is expanding or contracting, giving traders a clear view of where volatility is rising or falling. By mapping out deviations from the regression line, the heatmap makes it easier to spot periods of high volatility that could lead to major market moves or potential reversals.
Deviation Concepts:
The script tracks price deviations from the regression line when a new range is formed, providing valuable insights when the price significantly deviates from the expected trend. These deviations are key in identifying potential breakout points or trend shifts .
This helps traders understand when the market is overextended or when a pullback may be imminent, allowing them to make more informed trading decisions.
Adaptive Model Properties:
Unlike static indicators, this script adapts over time . As the market changes, it stores historical data related to channel widths , slope dynamics , and volatility levels , adjusting its analysis accordingly to stay relevant to current market conditions.
Traders have the ability to train the model on all available data or specify a set number of bars to focus on more recent market activity. This flexibility allows for more tailored analysis , ensuring that traders can work with data that best fits their trading style and time horizon.
This continuous learning approach ensures that traders always have the most up-to-date insight into the market's structure.
Table
The table displays key metrics in real time to provide deeper insights into market behavior:
1. Deviation & Slope : Shows the current deviation if set to standard deviation or atr if set to atr(values used to calculated the channel widths) and the trend slope, helping to gauge market volatility and trend direction.
2. Rate of Change : For both deviation/atr and slope, the table also calculates the rate of change of their rates—essentially capturing the acceleration or deceleration of trends and volatility. This helps identify shifts in market momentum early.
3. R-squared : Indicates the strength and reliability of the trend fit. A higher value means the regression line better explains the price movements.
4. Quantiles : Uses historical deviation data to categorize current market conditions into quartiles (e.g., Q1, Q2, Q3). This helps classify the market's current volatility level, allowing traders to adjust strategies dynamically.
By combining these metrics, the table offers a comprehensive, real-time snapshot of market conditions, enabling more informed and adaptive trading decisions.

Bewakoof stock indicator**Title**: "Bewakoof Stock Indicator: Multi-Timeframe RSI and SuperTrend Entry-Exit System"
---
### Description
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** is an original trading tool that combines multi-timeframe RSI analysis with the SuperTrend indicator to create reliable entry and exit signals for trending markets. This indicator is designed for traders looking to follow strong trends with built-in risk management. By filtering entries through short- and long-term momentum and utilizing dynamic trailing exits, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading.
#### Indicator Components
1. **Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis**:
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated across three timeframes: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
- By examining multiple timeframes, the indicator confirms that trends align over short, medium, and long-term intervals, making buy signals more reliable.
- **Buy Condition**: All three RSI values must meet these thresholds:
- **Daily RSI > 50** – indicates short-term upward momentum,
- **Weekly RSI > 60** – signals medium-term strength,
- **Monthly RSI > 60** – confirms long-term trend alignment.
- This filtering process ensures that buy signals are generated only in stable, upward-trending markets.
2. **SuperTrend Confirmation**:
- The SuperTrend (20-period ATR with a multiplier of 2) acts as a trend filter and trailing stop mechanism.
- For a buy condition to be valid, the closing price must be above the SuperTrend level, verifying that the market is trending up.
- The combination of RSI and SuperTrend helps to avoid false signals, focusing only on well-established trends.
#### Trade Signals
- **Buy Signal**: When both the multi-timeframe RSI and SuperTrend conditions are met, a buy signal is triggered, indicated by a “BUY” label on the chart with details:
- **Entry Price**,
- **Initial Stop-Loss** (set at the SuperTrend level for risk control),
- **Target 1** – calculated with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio based on the initial stop-loss,
- **Target 2** – calculated with a 1:2 risk-reward ratio based on the initial stop-loss.
- **Exit Signals**: This indicator provides two exit strategies to protect profits:
1. **Fixed Stop-Loss**: Automatically set at the SuperTrend level at the time of entry to limit risk.
2. **Trailing Exit**: Exits are triggered if the price crosses below the SuperTrend level, adapting to potential trend reversals.
#### Labeling & Alerts
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** offers intuitive labeling and alert options:
- **Labels**: Buy and exit points are clearly marked, showing entry, stop-loss, and targets directly on the chart.
- **Alerts**: Custom alerts can be set for:
- **Buy signals** when both conditions are met, and
- **Exit signals** triggered by the stop-loss or trailing exit.
#### Use Case and Benefits
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders who value risk control and trend confirmation:
- **Stronger Trend Signals**: By requiring RSI alignment across multiple timeframes, this indicator focuses only on trades with strong trend momentum.
- **Dynamic Risk Management**: Using both fixed and trailing exits enables flexible trade management, balancing risk and potential reward.
- **Simple Trade Execution**: The chart labels and alerts simplify trade decisions, making it easy to enter, manage, and exit trades.
#### How to Use
1. **Add** the Bewakoof Stock Indicator to your chart.
2. **Watch** for the "BUY" label as your entry point.
3. **Manage the trade** using the labeled stop-loss and target levels.
4. **Exit** on either a stop-loss hit or when the price crosses below the SuperTrend for a trailing exit.
The **Bewakoof Stock Indicator** is a complete solution for trend-following traders, combining the strength of multi-timeframe RSI with the SuperTrend’s trend-following capabilities. This systematic approach aims to provide high-confidence entries and effective risk management, empowering traders to follow trends with precision and control.
Economic Seasons [Daveatt]Ever wondered what season your economy is in?
Just like Mother Nature has her four seasons, the economy cycles through its own seasons! This indicator helps you visualize where we are in the economic cycle by tracking two key metrics:
📊 What We're Tracking:
1. Interest Rates (USIRYY) - The yearly change in interest rates
2. Inflation Rate (USINTR) - The rate at which prices are rising
The magic happens when we normalize these values (fancy math that makes the numbers play nice together) and compare them to their recent averages. We use a lookback period to calculate the standard deviation and determine if we're seeing higher or lower than normal readings.
🔄 The Four Economic Seasons & Investment Strategy:
1. 🌸 Goldilocks (↑Growth, ↓Inflation)
"Not too hot, not too cold" - The economy is growing steadily without overheating.
BEST TIME TO: Buy growth stocks, technology, consumer discretionary
WHY: Companies can grow earnings in this ideal environment of low rates and stable prices
2. 🌞 Reflation (↑Growth, ↑Inflation)
"Party time... but watch your wallet!" - The economy is heating up.
BEST TIME TO: Buy commodities, banking stocks, real estate
WHY: These sectors thrive when inflation rises alongside growth
3. 🌡️ Inflation (↓Growth, ↑Inflation)
"Ouch, my purchasing power!" - Growth slows while prices keep rising.
BEST TIME TO: Rotate into value stocks, consumer staples, healthcare
WHY: These defensive sectors maintain pricing power during inflationary periods
4. ❄️ Deflation (↓Growth, ↓Inflation)
"Winter is here" - Both growth and inflation are falling.
BEST TIME TO: Focus on quality bonds, cash positions, and dividend aristocrats
WHY: Capital preservation becomes key; high-quality fixed income provides safety
🎯 Strategic Trading Points:
- BUY AGGRESSIVELY: During late Deflation/early Goldilocks (the spring thaw)
- HOLD & ACCUMULATE: Throughout Goldilocks and early Reflation
- START TAKING PROFITS: During late Reflation/early Inflation
- DEFENSIVE POSITIONING: Throughout Inflation and Deflation
⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch:
- Goldilocks → Reflation: Time to reduce growth stock exposure
- Reflation → Inflation: Begin rotating into defensive sectors
- Inflation → Deflation: Quality becomes crucial
- Deflation → Goldilocks: Start building new positions
The blue dot shows you where we are right now in this cycle.
The red arrows in the middle remind us that this is a continuous cycle - one season flows into the next, just like in nature!
💡 Pro Tip: The transitions between seasons often provide the best opportunities - but also the highest risks. Use additional indicators and fundamental analysis to confirm these shifts.
Remember: Just like you wouldn't wear a winter coat in summer, you shouldn't use a Goldilocks strategy during Inflation! Time your trades with the seasons. 🎯
Happy Trading! 📈
