First time coding - a 5min forex Scalping strategy This is my first attempt at producing a strategy in Pine Script.
I am NOT a professional coder. I'm not even a good coder at that. I've only started Pine Script coding since September 2019. I am teaching myself.
This script is far from finished. I need to tweak a number of things about this script. Namely:
Add a validity window to the 'trigger bar' condition. Ie, I want to shut down the condition when the price closes above EMA21
Change the order entry so they are stop orders, using the stop entry price derived from the signals
Make changes to lot sizing
Add a trailing stop condition
Comments welcome, but do not expect me to reply to any questions or requests. In fact, don't expect any replies from me. I consider myself notoriously bad at replies.
I do welcome any feedback from any seasoned coders out there, as I am still a novice coder, and have so much to learn!
As to anyone who wants to criticise me - constructive and helpful criticism are most welcome, criticism to make yourself feel superior to me - you kind can eat a dk.
For the strategy rules, google the user ForexSignals TV account and look for the video "SIMPLE and PROFITABLE Forex Scalping Strategy".
Share, learn, prosper
Peace to y'all

SuperTrend Strategy This is almost the same strategy that Alex Orekhov (everget) sells to unnoticed newbies... The only thing he added was a tool that analyses the better performance of the indicator, that is the difference from his script, and i dont have it here, what i have is what is freely distributed in many communities... But as i follow him for more than 1 year i saw that theese configs. In more than 95% of the time range betweern 7.2-6.8 with the most common settings the 7-7
So i made a description of each part of the code that i WRITED and is free and i am just using the configs that are public in Alex Orekhov (everget) profile. If it is public the configs he use in his charts and he is not the owner of the code right? Also the code is very easy to find in google in the MQL5 community or in a lot of videos in youtube.
He charges $10 for a 4 day trial (LOL) and $100 for this shit.
Here is a strategy that has a correlation with 95% of the time of the Profitable Strategy that he sells.
4K Notepad++ UDL Add-on for Pine Script v4.0FIRST OF ALL, THIS NOT AN INDICATOR! This is in XML format as a "utilitarian developer tool add-on" for Notepad++ editor for viewing Pine Script on 4K screens, but 4K isn't REQUIRED to use this.
For all Notepad++ enthusiasts out there utilizing Pine Script, I present a UDL(User Defined Language)... for Notepad++... for Pine Script v4.0... on 4K LCDs.
This is only for a dark background in Notepad++ editor, FYI. I would also like to mention, I used a 42" 4K LCD at this time of initial publication.
NOTICE: Please be sure to strip the "//" from this code on every line where the XML is commented with Pine Script comment operators(//) before saving to drive as an XML(*.xml) file. This may be done easily within the Pine Editor using ' CTRL + / ' after a click/drag selection of the bulk XML code. Pine Script commenting will then be stripped out of the XML following after the beginning/closing tags and .
The entire section below entitled "Notepad++ UDL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" is not required for importation into Notepad++. These are just HOW TOs concerning export/configuration in Notepad++ in the XML comments , and will be ignored if it's included during the import procedure, no worries.
I will update this as PSv4.0 evolves and time provides itself to me. Any anomalies discovered, please respectfully contact me privately via TV chat to discuss any ideas/concerns.
With all that aforementioned said, I believe this will be very useful to Pine Script developers who use Notepad++ editor in tandem with Pine Editor, further unleashing the "Power of Pine" on this planet.
NOTICE: Copy pasting bandits who may be having nefarious thoughts, DO NOT attempt this, because this may violate Tradingview's terms, conditions and/or house rules. "WE" are always watching the TV community vigilantly for mischievous behaviors and actions that exploit well intended authors for the purpose of unscrupulously increasing brownie points in reputation scores. Hiding behind a "protected" wall may not protect you from investigation and account penalization by TV staff. Be respectful, and don't just throw a meaningless feature in there branding it as "your" gizmo. Fair enough? Alrighty then... I firmly believe in "innovating" future state-of-the-art indicators, and please contact me if you wish to do so.
The comments section below is solely just for commenting and other remarks, ideas, compliments, etc... regarding only this indicator, not others. When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section if you do have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members, I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions.

Modified Stochastic MACD Oscillator - Vitali ApirineFor all MACD enthusiasts out there, hot off the press, I present this next generation "Modified Stochastic MACD Oscillator" employing PSv4.0, originally formulated by Vitali Apirine for TASC - November 2019 Traders Tips. Just when you may have thought it was the end of the evolutionary line for MACD technology, it's not! Basically it's a NEW hybridization of a MACD and stochastic rolled into one, maintaining scale symmetry to support overbought/oversold defined levels across time frames and assets, unlike the ordinary MACD. On the ordinary MACD, this is virtually impossible to do properly, and trust me, I have tried with zero success. My less than 40 line implementation, at initial release, is a heavily modified version of the original indicator using novel techniques, surpassing not only Apirine's original intended design, but also the "contemporary MACD" provided by TV, visible on the bottom of the chart.
Utilizing the "Power of Pine", I included the maximum amount of features I could surmise in an ultra small yet powerful package. I provided an abundance of control over each feature as an attempt to create another heavenly MACD experience in an open source package, only rivaled by my "Ultimate MACD Super Pack". Configurations are displayed above in multiple scenarios that should be suitable for most traders. Of notable mention, I rescaled the oscillator more towards a zero mean unity scale, while still leaving the waveforms completely intact.
Features List Includes:
Dark Background - Easily disabled in indicator Settings->Style for "Light" charts or with Pine commenting
AND much, much more... you have the source!
For those of you who are new to Pine Script, this script also may help you understand advanced programming techniques in Pine and how they may be utilized in a most effective manner. I would like to see Tradingview become the go to platform for the best MACD indicators attainable with this contribution to the TV community. This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil, and if you are wondering why there is no notes, that's because the notation is in the variable naming. If you wish to contribute additional ideas, please do so below in the comments about all things MACD in Pine.

vline() Function for Pine Script v4.0+It's been a long time coming, but here is a versatile vline() function applicable to PSv4.0+ utilizing line.new(). I decided to finally figure this out at the request of another member recently. I have been waiting myself for months, but it's now time for an idea who's time has come to unleash upon planet Pine Script. It's a handy little function I believe will be very useful in the future. It only requires 4 parameters of BarIndex, Color, LineStyle, and LineWidth. Make sure you place it in an appropriate if() block to use it properly. As displayed above, this plots every 10 bars using a conditional statement employing the rarely used modulus operator.
Use it as you please, this is free code to implement into your new Pine projects. I don't require an credit for any one to use this function. I simply don't want any credit. I would however like to see some great ideas utilizing this when I randomly and accidentally come across them in the public library. I didn't know where to put this script, so I just tossed into the "Trend Analysis" category. I'm pondering we members need a "Miscellaneous" category some time in the future.

Any MA bands (TMA bands V2)Hi everyone
Website will be opening very shortly :) Sorting out the last details and we're so excited to finally roll-out our different Algorithm Builders for you guys
Forewords
This present script is an evolution of the TMA bands . I would never have expected that script to become so popular to be honest
This is not only a study or idea but a really proven method and I'm glad that many of you are using it already. But please, whenever you see a new script out there, even if it looks cool and promising, please test it on a demo account for a week or on a LIVE account but with tiny amounts every time.
Many times, what you see on the chart is not what will happen in reality. I know that most of you will agree and I know exactly why we see this behavior... I'll give more details in a later post
I have plenty of methods like that one and I'll detail them on my website (and a bit on TradingView) starting next month
TMA bands on steroids
Someone asked me privately to make a generic version of the TMA bands and make it compatible with other standards Moving Average types. That's it for the specifications really as I didn't do much than re-using some piece of my own code
Suggested (but not mandatory) methodology
1) The Take Profit 1 is the middle line, Take Profit 2 is the opposite band.
2) Once the TP1 is hit, set your Stop Loss to breakeven
3) Once the TP2 is hit, if you still want to stay in the trade, set your Stop Loss to the TP1
It will be a powerful tool in your arsenal for some scalp/intraday trades
Wishing you all of you a great and profitable day

Team TemaTema highlights bars based on the triple ema ( tema ) with two different length qualifiers.
The tema is believed to react quicker to price fluctuations than the simple moving average ( sma ), the exponential moving average ( ema ), and the double ema ( dema ). The shorter length tema crossing over the longer one is believed to indicate a bullish trend ahead, highlighted in green. The shorter length crossing below the longer one may indicate a bearish trend is on the way.
Benefits.
It has been found that most traders lose money because they panic early, and don't let profits run. Tema helps me to filter out trading noise , reduce stress and stay in profitable trades longer . Highlighting the candle wicks reveals trends in highs and lows that may be difficult to see otherwise. I like being able to adjust the settings and look back to see how much noise would have been good to filter out.
Things to watch out for.
Like other moving averages, the tema is a lagging indicator , vulnerable to false signals, especially during a large move up or down . Use with other indicators that are better designed for detecting tops and bottoms. Adjust the lengths to filter out what you think may be wrong signals. The settings are subjective , and it depends on the security and the time period. Manually create a note or reminder with your favorite settings for each. You may choose how much price fluctuation to filter out by going into settings, marked with the gear icon.
Unconfirmed sentiment arrow.
Tema draws an arrow of current sentiment , based on the unconfirmed price action of the faster tema. It shows where it thinks prices are presently going, barring other factors. Its main purpose is to extend a line from the end of the tema, so it is not difficult to see. Remember, it is probably wrong until the last bar closes. And even then, buyers or sellers could come along at any moment and change the outlook.
Enhanced Instantaneous Cycle Period - Dr. John EhlersThis is my first public release of detector code entitled "Enhanced Instantaneous Cycle Period" for PSv4.0 I built many months ago. Be forewarned, this is not an indicator, this is a detector to be used by ADVANCED developers to build futuristic indicators in Pine. The origins of this script come from a document by Dr. John Ehlers entitled "SIGNAL ANALYSIS CONCEPTS". You may find this using the NSA's reverse search engine "goggles", as I call it. John Ehlers' MESA used this measurement to establish the data window for analysis for MESA Cycle computations. So... does any developer wish to emulate MESA Cycle now??
I decided to take instantaneous cycle period to another level of novel attainability in this public release of source code with the following methods, if you are curious how I ENHANCED it. Firstly I reduced the delay of accurate measurement from bar_index==0 by quite a few bars closer to IPO. Secondarily, I provided a limit of 6 for a minimum instantaneous cycle period. At bar_index==0, it would provide a period of 0 wrecking many algorithms from the start. I also increased the instantaneous cycle period's maximum value to 80 from 50, providing a window of 6-80 for the instantaneous cycle period value window limits. Thirdly, I replaced the internal EMA with another algorithm. It reduces the lag while extracting a floating point number, for algorithms that will accept that, compared to a sluggish ordinary EMA return. You will see the excessive EMA delay with adding plot(ema(ICP,7)) as it was originally designed. Lastly it's in one simple function for reusability in a nice little package comprising of less than 40 lines of code. I hope I explained that adequately enough and gave you the reader a glimpse of the "Power of Pine" combined with ingenuity.
Be forewarned again, that most of Pine's built-in functions will not accept a floating-point number or dynamic integers for the "length" of it's calculation. You will have to emulate the built-in functions by creating Pine based custom functions, and I assure you, this is very possible in many cases, but not all without array support. You may use int(ICP) to extract an integer from the smoothICP return variable, which may be favorable compared to the choppiness/ringing if ICP alone.
This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil. If you are wondering why there is barely any notation, that's because the notation is in the variable naming and this is intended primarily for ADVANCED developers too. It does contain lines of code that explore techniques in Pine that may be applicable in other Pine projects for those learning or wishing to excel with Pine.

Optimal 4H Moving Average Ribbon for ETH
Stolen from Madrid Moving Average Ribbon : 2.0 : MMAR
madridjourneyonws.blogspot.com
Adapted for 4H optimal EMAs
This plots a moving average ribbon, please use the exponential not the standard.
It is based on a constant calculation of the most profitable EMAs to trade on the 4H time frame for Ethereum!
Thus the values will be updated with time as they change.
As an example trading the EMA 167 will return ~17742% (15.8.2019)on initial investment starting March 2016, compared to holding giving ~1225%.
It is a simple price breaks above EMAs to go long and break below to go short strategy but I recomened waiting for the full twist.
Lime : Uptrend. Long trading
Green : Reentry (buy the dip) or downtrend reversal warning
Red : Downtrend. Short trading
Maroon : Short Reentry (sell the peak) or uptrend reversal warning

Linear Regression Trend ChannelThis is my first public release of indicator code and my PSv4.0 version of "Linear Regression Channel", as it is more commonly known. It replicates TV's built-in "Linear Regression" without the distraction of heavy red/blue fill bleeding into other indicators. We can't fill() line.new() at this time in Pine Script anyways. I entitled it Linear Regression Trend Channel, simply because it seems more accurate as a proper description. I nicely packaged this to the size of an ordinary napkin within 20 lines of compact code, simplifying the math to the most efficient script I could devise that fits in your pocket. This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil, and if you are wondering why there is no notes, that's because the notation is in the variable naming. I excluded Pearson correlation because it doesn't seem very useful to me, and it would comprise of additional lines of code I would rather avoid in this public release. Pearson correlation is included in my invite-only advanced version of "Enhanced Linear Regression Trend Channel", where I have taken Linear Regression Channeling to another level of fully featured novel attainability using this original source code.
Features List Includes:
"Period" adjustment
"Deviation(s)" adjustment
"Extend Method" option to extend or not extend the upper, medial, and lower channeling

Thus the values will be updated with time as they change.
As an example trading the EMA 44 will return ~12000% on initial investment from begining of 2015. Hodl would have given "just" ~4150% for same period!
It is a simple price breaks above EMAs to go long and break below to go short strategy.
This study is best viewed with a dark background. It provides an easy
and fast way to determine the trend direction and possible reversals.
Pinbar / Engulf EMA IndicatorThis indicator is built based on the video by ForexSignals TV (no association on my part with them), published on July 5th, 2019 titled "SIMPLE & PROFITABLE Trend-following Forex Trading Strategy!"
The basic premiss is to use the 8,13,21 EMAs, make sure they have not crossed in the previous 3 bars, then look for engulfing bars or pinbars for the current direction. Meaning if the trend is up, look for bullish engulfer or pinbars, and bearish ones if the trend is down. Also, the pin must have crossed the 8EMA but not the 21EMA.
When determining to act on the signal, the video recommends only executing a buy/sell if the the current trend in the anchor chart is trending in the same direction (trending up only enter buys, trending down, only enter sells).
The script overlays a BUY or SELL tag under the bar that meets the above criteria.
Noro's Crypto PatternsFor
- symbols: crypto/usd or crypto/usdt (or any stablecoins)
- timeframe: 1 hour
Signals - quantity of signals (arrows)
Accuracy - as many such transactions were profitable
WhiplashClimax setup looking for a reversal the next day after a gap, this works best if the signal is triggered after a prolonged move in one direction. Enter the position at the close of the day when you get a signal and exit for a loss the next day if not profitable, otherwise, trail a stop to lock profits.

Momentum Pinball IndicatorMomentum Pinball, when you get a buy/sell signal, wait for the next day enter on the high or low of the first hour (depending on the signal) and place a stop in the low/high of the first hour. If the day you get filled closes profitable you can decide to close the trade by the end of the day or hold overnight (if there was a considerable move) and exit the following morning. This strategy is based on the 3 period RSI of the one period ROC
QuantNomad - MA Strategy - 1 minute - ETHUSDInteresting performance for simple MA strategy on 1m ETHUSD. I used only close price and 15 SMA in it.
Performance is 55% over 10 days with a drawdown of only 3.5%.
Percent profitable is only 30% with almost 2k trades.
For sure this won't work as a standalone strategy, with 2k trades commission and slippage will destroy all your PNL but it can be a pretty good base for a more complicated strategy with good filters.
And remember:
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
stoch pop and RSI2 strategyI have combined stochsatic POP and RSI2 strategy.
Go Long on stochstaic > 80 and RSI2 pulled back to 30 (note when you are entering Long, check that stochsatic is still above 80 )
Close Long when stochastic crossing down 55
I have back tested this on SPY weekly. It has less trades but high profitable with very less draw down.
Other time frames you have more signals but , not great winning rate.
Since this is weekly setup, good for investing ... long waiting to close , patience required :-)
Peak Valley Estimation StrategyIntroduction
Its the first strategy that i post here, so don't expect ground breaking stuff, when testing my indicators i always used prorealtime and not tradingview. This strategy use signals generated by the peak/valley estimator indicator i posted long ago, i think the signals generated where sometimes quite accurate in some markets thus providing potential material for a profitable strategy.
The indicator use 3 parameters, therefore the optimisation process is not easy, but i selected what i judged good parameters values at first glance. The strategy is in its more simple form without stop or anything, the detection of peaks and valley can allow for tighter stops since we expect the price to reverse, but take into account that sops and take profits are parameters subject to optimization process except if selected with strict money management rules and not profit optimization.
Of course trading the strategy in this form is far from being great, if we take into account the market non stationarity then we might expect loss during trending markets. Trend strength indicators could help switch from a reversal to breakout strategy thus maybe providing more control.
I really hope you find an use for the strategy.
Notes
Its been three long years since i started tradingview, and i put more efforts in my indicators than in my studies and life overall, this have created complicated situations and i can't afford to follow up with this, therefore i announce that in the end of june i will leave tradingview for quite a long time, at least until i have my degree. I announce it in advance in case some of you want helps of any kind. I will post all the indicators, both in progress and finished i have made during those three years. I hope you can all understand.
Thanks for reading !
5 MAs w. alerts [LucF]Is this gazillionth MA indicator worth an addition to the already crowded field of contenders? I say yes! This one shows up to 5 MAs and 6 different marker conditions that can be used to create alerts, among many other goodies.
Features
MAs can be darkened when they are falling.
MAs from another time frame can be displayed, with the option of smoothing them.
Markers can be filtered to Longs or Shorts only.
EMAs can be selected for either all or the two shortest MAs.
The background can be colored using any of the marker states except no. 3.
Markers are:
1. On crosses between any two user-defined MAs,
2. When price is above or below an MA,
3. On Quick Flips (a specific setup involving a cross, multiple MA states and increasing volume, when available),
4. When the difference between two MAs is within a % of its high/low historic values,
5. When an MA has been rising/falling for n bars,
6. When the difference between two MAs is greater than a multiple of ATR.
Some markers use similar visual cues, so distinguishing them will be a challenge if they are used concurrently.
Alerts
Alerts can be created on any combination of alerts. Only non-consecutive instances of markers 5 and 6 will trigger the alert condition. Make sure you are on the interval you want the alert to run at. Using the “Once Per Bar Close” trigger condition is usually the best option.
When an alert is created in TradingView, a snapshot of the indicator’s settings is saved with the alert, which then takes on a life of its own. That is why even though there is only one alert to choose from when you bring up the alert creation dialog box and choose “5 MAs”, that alert can be triggered from any number of conditions. You select those conditions by activating the markers you want the alert to trigger on before creating the alert. If you have selected multiple conditions, then it can be a good idea to record a reminder in the alert’s message field. When the alert triggers, you will need the indicator on the chart to figure out which one of your conditions triggered the alert, as there is currently no way to dynamically change the alert’s message field from within the script.
Background settings will not trigger alerts; only marker configurations.
Notes
MAs are just… averages. Trader lure would have them act as support and resistance levels. I’m not sure about that, and not the only one thinking along these lines. Adam Grimes has studied moving averages in quite a bit of detail. His numbers point to no evidence indicating they act as support/resistance, and to specific MA lengths not being more meaningful than others. His point of view is debated by some—not by me. Mean reversion does not entail that price stops when it reaches its MA; rather, it makes sense to me that price would often more or less oscillate around its MA, which entails the MA does not act as support/resistance. Aren’t the best mean reversion opportunities when price is furthest away from its MA? If so, it should be more profitable to identify these areas, which some of this indicator’s markers try to do.
I think MAs can be much more powerful when thought of as instruments we can use to situate price events in contexts of various resolutions, from the instantaneous to the big picture. Accordingly, I use the relative positions and slopes of MAs in both discretionary and automated trading; but never their purported ability to support/resist.
Regardless of how you use MAs, I hope you will find this indicator useful.
