Z Score CANDLE and Exciting candle signal [DJ D]This script paints candles when their zscore reaches above 2 standard deviations in price from the mean. The blue candle represents up candle above 2. Magenta candle below -2. The candles can signal the beginning of a move and also importantly exhaustion.
The script also signals when a candle has volatility above 6. The higher the sensitivity the less frequent it will paint. These are real time paints and signals. You can adjust for higher time frames by adjusting the length of the z score and adjust the sensitivity of the volatility candles.
The yellow candle is a mean candle and can signify consolidation and/or indecision. Drawing a Darvis type box around around mean candles can give you a zone to watch.
These settings are for 1 minute scalping. The volatility sensitivity range between 1- 2 is good for 15, 30, (ie 1.0 or 1.2) and your discretion....

Price Variation Percent (PVP)This indicator shows the percentage of price variation, depending on the length of bars that the user chooses.
At a glance you can see if the price jumps in volatility and how often it does so. Very useful for scalping.
The upper and lower bands are limits of price variation in percentage, therefore when there is a crossing above or below you can immediately see how volatile the asset is and between what percentages of change it is moving.
RSI Exponential Smoothing (Expo)█ Background information
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are two popular indicators. Traders use these indicators to understand market trends and predict future price changes. However, traders often wonder which indicator is better: RSI or EMA.
What if these indicators give similar results? To find out, we wanted to study the relationship between RSI and EMA. We focused on a hypothesis: when the RSI goes above 50, it might be similar to the price crossing above a certain length of EMA. Similarly, when the RSI goes below 50, it might be similar to the price crossing below a certain length of EMA.
Our goal was simple: to figure out if there is any connection between RSI and EMA.
Conclusion: Yes, it seems that there is a correlation between RSI and EMA, and this indicator clearly displays that relationship. Read more about the study here:
█ Overview of the indicator
The RSI Exponential Smoothing indicator displays RSI levels with clear overbought and oversold zones, shown as easy-to-understand moving averages, and the RSI 50 line as an EMA. Another excellent feature is the added FIB levels. To activate, open the settings and click on "FIB Bands." These levels act as short-term support and resistance levels which can be used for scalping.
█ Benefits of using this indicator instead of regular RSI
The findings about the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) highlight that both indicators are equally accurate (when it comes to crossings), meaning traders can choose either one without compromising accuracy. This empowers traders to pick the indicator that suits their personal preferences and trading style.
█ How it works
Crossings over/under the value of 50
The EMA line in the indicator acts as the corresponding 50 line in the RSI. When the RSI crosses the value 50 equals when Close crosses the EMA line.
Bouncess from the value 50
In this example, we can see that the EMA line on the chart acts as support/resistance equals when RSI rejects the 50 level.
Overbought and Oversold
The indicator comes with overbought and oversold bands equal when RSI becomes overbought or oversold.
█ How to use
This visual representation helps traders to apply RSI strategies directly on the price chart, potentially making RSI trading easier for traders.

Typical Price Difference - TPD © with reversal zones and signalsv1.0 NOTE: The maths have been tested only for BTC and weekly time frame.
This is a concept that I came through after long long hours of VWAP trading and scalping.
The idea is pretty simple:
1) Typical Price is calculated by (h+l+c) / 3. If we take this price and adjust it to volume we get the VWAP value. The difference between this value and the close value, i call it " Typical Price Difference - TPD ".
2) We get the Historical Volatility as calculated by TradingView script and we add it up to TPD and divide it by two (average). This is what I call " The Source - TS ".
3) We apply the CCI formula to TS .
4) We calculate the Rate of Change (roc) of the CCI formula.
5) We apply the VIX FIX of Larry Williams (script used is from ChrisMoody - CM_Williams_Vix_Fix Finds Market Bottoms) *brilliant script!!!
How to use it:
a) When the (3) is over the TPD we have a bullish bias (green area). When it's under we have a bearish bias (red area).
b) If the (1) value goes over or under a certain value (CAUTION!!! it varies in different assets or timeframes) we get a Reversal Zone (RZ). Red/Green background.
c) If we are in a RZ and the VIX FIX gives a strong value (look for green bars in histogram) and roc (4) goes in the opposite direction, we get a reversal signal that works for the next week(s).
I applied this to BTC on a weekly time frame and after some corrections, it gives pretty good reversal zones and signals. Especially bottoms. Also look for divergences in the zones/signals.
As I said I have tested and confirmed it only on BTC/weekly. I need more time with the maths and pine to automatically adjust it to other time frames. You can play with it in different assets or time frames to find best settings by hand.
Feel free to share your thoughts or ideas on this.
P.S. I realy realy realy try to remember when or how or why I came up with the idea to combine typical price with historical volatility and CCI. I can't! It doesn't make any sense LOL
Zero-lag TEMA Crosses [Loxx]Zero-lag TEMA Crosses is a spinoff of a the Zero-lag MA as described by David Stendahl in the April 2000 issue of the journal "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities". This indicator uses TEMA calculation mode in order to make the lag lesser compared to the original Zero-lag MA, and that makes this version even faster than the Zero-lag DEMA too. This indicator is the difference between a Fast and Slow Zero-lag TEMA. This indicator is very useful for lower timeframe scalping.
What is the Zero-lag MA?
The Zero-lag MA (Zero-Lag Moving Average) is a technical indicator that was introduced in the April 2000 issue of the journal "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities" by David Stendahl.
The Zero-lag MA is a type of moving average (MA) that is designed to reduce or eliminate the lag that is typically associated with traditional moving averages. Moving averages are a widely used technical analysis tool that helps traders to identify trends and potential trading opportunities. They work by calculating the average price of a security over a given period of time, and then plotting that average on a chart. The most commonly used moving averages are simple moving averages (SMAs) and exponential moving averages (EMAs).
The problem with traditional moving averages is that they can be slow to respond to changes in market conditions. This lag can cause traders to miss out on potential trading opportunities, or to enter or exit trades at the wrong time. The Zero-lag MA was developed as a solution to this problem.
The Zero-lag MA is calculated using a combination of two EMAs and a subtraction formula. The first step in calculating the Zero-lag MA is to calculate two exponential moving averages: a fast EMA and a slow EMA. The fast EMA is calculated over a shorter period of time than the slow EMA. The exact period lengths will depend on the trader's preferences and the security being analyzed.
Once the two EMAs have been calculated, the next step is to take the difference between them. This difference represents the current market trend, with a positive value indicating an uptrend and a negative value indicating a downtrend. However, this difference alone is not enough to create a useful indicator, as it can still suffer from lag.
To further reduce lag, the difference between the two EMAs is multiplied by a factor derived from a third, slower EMA. This slower EMA acts as a smoothing factor, helping to reduce noise and make the indicator more accurate. The exact period length of the slower EMA will depend on the trader's preferences and the security being analyzed.
The final step in calculating the Zero-lag MA is to add the result of the multiplication to the fast EMA. This produces a final value that represents the current market trend with reduced lag. The Zero-lag MA can be plotted on a chart like any other moving average, and can be used to identify trends, potential trading opportunities, and support and resistance levels.
Overall, the Zero-lag MA is designed to provide traders with a more accurate representation of current market conditions by reducing the lag time between price changes and the moving average. By doing so, it can help traders to make more informed trading decisions and improve their overall profitability.
What is the TEMA?
The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) is a technical analysis indicator that was developed to reduce the lag of traditional moving averages, such as the simple moving average (SMA) or the exponential moving average (EMA). The TEMA was first introduced by Patrick Mulloy in the January 1994 issue of the "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities" magazine.
The TEMA is a type of moving average that is calculated by applying multiple exponential smoothing techniques to price data. Unlike traditional moving averages, which apply a single smoothing factor to price data, the TEMA applies three smoothing factors to produce a more responsive and accurate indicator.
To calculate the TEMA, the following steps are taken:
Calculate the single exponential moving average (SMA) of the price data over a given period.
Calculate the double exponential moving average (DEMA) of the SMA over the same period.
Calculate the triple exponential moving average (TEMA) of the DEMA over the same period.
The formula for calculating the TEMA is:
TEMA = 3 * EMA(SMA) - 3 * EMA(EMA(SMA)) + EMA(EMA(EMA(SMA)))
where EMA is the exponential moving average and SMA is the simple moving average.
The TEMA is designed to reduce the lag associated with traditional moving averages by applying multiple smoothing factors to the price data. This helps to filter out short-term price fluctuations and provide a smoother indicator of the underlying trend. The TEMA is also less susceptible to whipsaws, which occur when a security's price moves in one direction and then quickly reverses, causing false trading signals.
The TEMA can be used in a variety of ways in technical analysis. It can be used to identify trends, determine support and resistance levels, and generate trading signals. When the TEMA is rising, it is generally interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating that the price is trending higher. When the TEMA is falling, it is generally interpreted as a bearish signal, indicating that the price is trending lower.
In summary, the TEMA is a more responsive and accurate indicator than traditional moving averages, designed to reduce lag and provide a smoother representation of the underlying trend. It is a useful tool for technical analysts and traders looking to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential trading opportunities.

Negative Correlation SignalsThank you to Hendrik Fuchs who coded this for me - I highly recommend you...
The AUDUSD/EURUSD has a negative correlation with the DXY as does the GBPJPY/USDJPY have with the JPYX. This indicator is very simple and uses opposite candle pinbars (pinbar/doji structure can be set by you) of the two instruments on the chart whilst the stochastic RSI should be above 80 for overbought on the one but below 20 on the other for oversold (or vice versa) to generate a signal.
This indicator works as follow:
1. Choose an instrument that has an opposing negatively correlated instrument (EURUSD & DXY, GBPJPY & JPYX, US100 & VIX, etc.)
2. Add indicator to the chart and open settings.
3. Open the settings and add the correct instruments (default is set to GBPJPY & JPYX).
4. Enter your desired Stochastic RSI & candle formation settings.
You will see buy and sell signals appear on the charts. Alerts are possible (Any alert() function call). Does not repaint after close of candle. Better on higher timeframes but can also be used for scalping. Best used as confluence or as part of a trend trading system.
There are obviously many many variations that I have not even thought off - please let us know in the comment section if you find settings/timeframes/instruments that work particularly well.
Musashi_Katana=== Musashi-Katana ===
This tool was designed to fit my particular trading style and personal theories about the "Alchemy of the markets" and ''Harmonic Structure'.
Context
When following a Technical approach to to surf the markets, there are teachings that must be understood before reaching a confort-zone, this usually happen the possible worst way by constant experimentation, it hurts.
Here few technical hints:
- Align High timeframes with lower timeframes:
This simple concept relax a lot complexity of finding of a trend bias. Musashi-Katana allows you to use technical indicator corresponding to specific timeframes, like daily weekly or yearly. They wont change when you change the chart's timeframe, its very useful as you know where you're standing in the long term, Its quite relaxing.
- Use volume:
The constant usage of volume will allow you to sync with the market's breathing. This shows you the mass of money flowing into and out of the market, is key if you want to understand momentum. This tool can help here, as it have multi-period vwaps. You can use yearly, monthly for swing trading, and even weekly if you enjoy scalping.
Useful stuff:
- You have access to baselines, AMA and Kijun-sen with the possibility of adding ATR bands.
- AMAs come as two lines strategies for different approaches, fast medium or slow.
- You can experiment with normal and multi timeframe moving averages and other trend tools.
Final Note
If used correctly Musashi-Katana is a very powerful tool, which makes no sense as there is no correct usage. Don't add everything at the same time, experiment, combine stuff, every market is different.
Backtest every possible strategy before using it, see what works and doesn't. This gives you a lot of peace, specially while you're at the tip of the spear surfing the markets
--> I personally use this in combination with 'Musashi_Slasher (Mometum+Volatility)', as it gives me volatility and momentum in a very precise way.
Channel SurfingThis is my Channel Surfing indicator. It fires Buy and Sell signals based on multiple conditions. You can use EMAs or LSMAs. You will have to check the box of which moving averages to use once you add it to the chart. It plots EMAs or LSMAs using the different sources Close, Low, and High as the channel to surf. It fires a Buy signal if price crosses the channel up and if there is a pullback into the channel followed by a breakout to the upside. It fires a Sell signal if price crosses the channel down and if there is a pullback into the channel followed buy a breakdown to the down side. I find it works great on the 5 minute SPY chart and the 1 minute chart of ES with the default settings when scalping. You are able to switch between 2 different channels using LSMAs or EMAs. The EMAs has an optional LSMA slope filter for getting rid of some false signals. Let me know if you guys find any other settings or ways to use this and as always I hope it helps.

QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity [Loxx]QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity is a QQE indicator that takes as its input parabolic-weighted velocity calculation. This version can help in determining trend. Adjust the calculating period to your trading style: longer - to trend traders, shorter - for scalping.
What is Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE)?
The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) indicator works like a smoother version of the popular Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) indicator. QQE expands on RSI by adding two volatility based trailing stop lines. These trailing stop lines are composed of a fast and a slow moving Average True Range (ATR).
There are many indicators for many purposes. Some of them are complex and some are comparatively easy to handle. The QQE indicator is a really useful analytical tool and one of the most accurate indicators. It offers numerous strategies for using the buy and sell signals. Essentially, it can help detect trend reversal and enter the trade at the most optimal positions.

RSI Local TrendA simple indicator using two RSIs.
Conditions for buy:
RSI(slow) < RSI(fast) and RSI(slow) < long_trigger
Conditions for sell:
RSI(slow) > RSI(fast) and RSI(slow) > short_trigger
It is recommended to use in small timeframes for scalping.
Recommended settings:
slow = 3
fast = 14
long_trigger = 30
short_trigger = 70
In markets where there is very high volatility, it is recommended to change the trigger parameters:
long_trigger = 20
short_trigger = 80
VIX Volatility Trend Analysis With Signals - Stocks OnlyVIX VOLATILITY TREND ANALYSIS CLOUD WITH BULLISH & BEARISH SIGNALS - STOCKS ONLY
This indicator is a visual aid that shows you the bullish or bearish trend of VIX market volatility so you can see the VIX trend without switching charts. When volatility goes up, most stocks go down and vice versa. When the cloud turns green, it is a bullish sign. When the cloud turns red, it is a bearish sign.
This indicator is meant for stocks with a lot of price action and volatility, so for best results, use it on charts that move similar to the S&P 500 or other similar charts.
This indicator uses real time data from the stock market overall, so it should only be used on stocks and will only give a few signals during after hours. It does work ok for crypto, but will not give signals when the US stock market is closed.
**HOW TO USE**
When the VIX Volatility Index trend changes direction, it will give a green or red line on the chart depending on which way the VIX is now trending. The cloud will also change color depending on which way the VIX is trending. Use this to determine overall market volatility and place trades in the direction that the indicator is showing. Do not use this by itself as sometimes markets won’t react perfectly to the overall market volatility. It should only be used as a secondary confirmation in your trading/trend analysis.
For more signals with earlier entries, go into settings and reduce the number. 10-100 is best for scalping. For less signals with later entries, change the number to a higher value. Use 100-500 for swing trades. Can go higher for long swing trades. Our favorite settings are 20, 60, 100, 500 and 1000.
***MARKETS***
This indicator should only be used on the US stock markets as signals are given based on the VIX volatility index which measures volatility of the US Stock Markets.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator works on all time frames, but after hours will not change much at all due to the markets being closed.
**INVERSE CHARTS**
If you are using this on an inverse ETF and the signals are showing backwards, please comment with what chart it is and I will configure the indicator to give the correct signals. I have included over 50 inverse ETFs into the code to show the correct signals on inverse charts, but I'm sure there are some that I have missed so feel free to let me know and I will update the script with the requested tickers.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile with buy & sell pressure, Auto Support And Resistance, Vix Scalper and Money Flow Index in combination with this Vix Trend Analysis. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
TICK strategy for SPY optionsImportant notes:
1. This strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. All profit shown in back testing report is based on Profit/Loss (P/L) estimates from trading options with approximately 6 months of data. By default, it is set to 10 option contracts. By default the initial capital is set to $5000. Pyramiding is set to 3.
2. This strategy works better with non-extended market data.
3. This strategy is mainly developed for SPY trading on 5 min chart, it probably will not be very profitable with other tickers or time frame without tweaking all the parameters first.
4. This strategy will work with QQQ as well, but please adjust the profit multiplier to match the P/L of QQQ options.
How it works:
When trading the indices, many rely on the TICK for market directions. This strategy is a trend following strategy that uses a combination of conditions using the following indicators:
- TICK
- RSI
- VIX volatility index
- EMA
For entries, the conditions are:
1. TICK moving average crossover with a delayed signal line
2. Bullish or bearish RSI signal, RSI > 50 for bullish, < 50 for bearish
3. VIX must be above a certain threshold to take advantage of high market volatility
4. Price must be on top of EMA line for long, and below for short
For exits, there are 3 scenarios:
1. Stop loss set by a percentage of the daily ATR value
2. Trend changes on the TICK and the RSI
3. Bearish or bullish divergence on price with TICK
This strategy automatically signal to close all trades at 3:50 pm EST at the end of the day.
Extras:
- There is an option to show P/L for reinvesting profits

Volatility indicator based on ATR Hello,
I'm sharing to you a volatility indicator I've done in the last few weeks based on ATR. There is multiple functionalities on this indicator, the first one is an overlay displaying when an asset is in an "overvolatily zone"
(displayed with red cross) and when we are in an "undervolatily zone" (displayed with green cross). You can change the sensibility of the signals in the parameters if you wish to have more or less greedy signals
(it will only modify the overvolatility signals). By the way those signals are not working for week-ends because volatility works differently on week-ends and it's not a good idea to count week-ends in the calculations, so do not worry if you see no signals on weekends.
Second part of the indicator is something I called "Atr bands" it's an equivalent to the famous Bollinger-Bands but based on ATR. I haven't backtested them yet but they seems really interesting in low ut
(15 mins seems to be the best ut for those) and they seems pretty bad in high ut so they can maybe be useful for low ut scalping.
Last thing, there is a parameter allowing you to display bands on the week-ends so you can easily see where the indicator won't give signals.
I would be really happy if I could have some feedsback if you try the indicator :)
Have a wonderful day
Volatility CheckerWhenever we want to find out volatility of the current chart, we need to visit screener and check the latest percentage. Because of this frustration by visiting screener page, I made this script. And there is no script like this, so it's open and free to use.
This script is detect current percentage of volatility as indicator way. Screener show default 1D volatility. But this script is not only show 1D volatility. You can change the resolution whatever you like. And you can switch more resolution style. But I think, 1D resolution is better. This script is best for crypto investors. I've no idea about stock/forex, so hmmmmm.
Hline helps you to detect the position of the volatility. I always like to check those symbol which is less than 30. Because it's best for scalping. Less than 10 is best for swing traders.
Feel free to use. Any feedback? welcome to comment zone :)
Bollinger bands and Keltner bands
█ OVERVIEW
This is a Bollinger band Script, with Keltner Channel Bands and for scalping.
█ CONCEPTS
1 — Bollinger Bands, The Bollinger band component is make out from two part, the standard component represented by a white cloud.
This is the 2nd deviation and 3rd deviation filled.
The second part linear weight
This is the 2nd deviation, and is filled from the 3rd deviation from the standard bands. This give the effect of cutting in and out to proved a support and resistance cloud.
2 — Keltner bands, this is the normal calculation, nothing special, by default this is off and can be turned back on in styles.
3 Deviations with ALMA as the Basis
3 — Non-traditional basis
Like with you can change the base moving average
but to a lesser extent.
option are:
sma = Simple Moving Average
ema = Exponential Moving Average
wma = Weighted Moving Average
vwma = Volume Weighted Moving Average
rma = Running Moving Average
alma = Arnaud Legoux Moving Average
hma = Hull Moving Average
█ OTHER SECTIONS
• LIMITATIONS: again this is base on moving average so there is a lag factor, the cloud do not work without volume so if the indicator can not pull volume data you are left with the standard bands.
• NOTE this is a trimmed version of still functions the same.
• THANKS: rumpypumpydumpy for the inspiration
High Low Open Mid Ranges & Levels (Multi-Timeframe)This indicator automatically plots the chosen timeframe's high, low, mid point and open. These levels on higher timeframes act as support and resistance levels on lower timeframes, helping find entries, stoploss and profit targets.
Most common timeframes to choose are Daily, 1W, 1M, and 3M. Other timeframes that are good include, 2D, 2W and 2M.
For example, you can see in the snapshot below, we are on the 4hr TF showing those levels from the 2W. This historical 2W zone (open and mid) was (and currently still is) resistance. You can see it also provided a good entry to go short.
This is also useful for intraday scalping. Below, we are on the 15min TF with levels set on the 2D timeframe. You can see how the Open and Mid levels acted as resistance, providing good entries on range trades, with take profit set at the previous 2D low.
There is also a table which tells you all the main TFs high, low, open, and mid levels. They are the most important ones to look out for.
This indicator should not be used in isolation; it is best to pair it up with other TA such as orderblocks, S/D zones, S&R or overlay indicators.
Price ActionFirst, you have to know price action, RTM price action Handbook could help you
this indicator shows you base and momentum candles
base candles could be zones of trade that show you fighting of bulls and bears, and momentum candles could show the power of those zones.
Base candles are white in the chart, and you can place your order at the good zone.
Rally candles and drop candles are momentum candles, and bold rally and bold drop show that it is more powerful than its before candle.
Zigzag compression is one way that shows the compression in trend.
it looks like the Wedges pattern at classic technical that shows pending orders are closed, so the target zone could be powerful to reverse the trend.
Black background of candle means that candle doesn't reach its before candle and so it is poor candle, I named it domination.
It is better to do not trade at poor candles.
At the end, I find Price action the best way to trade, and it makes you free of other indicator, even volume indicator.
This indicator is good for those who use price action strategy to trade and those who want to learn the price action.
It could be so helpful and reliable way to find the zones, and place buy or sell order and the target, specially for scalping.
Dump Detector - Stochastic RSIDump Detecter uses Stochastic RSI to detect dumps/downtrends. Can be used as an exit trigger for long bots or an entry trigger for short bots. Change settings to lower timeframe for scalping. Pump signals can be turned on with tickbox.
Default Settings are not the usual Stochastic RSI setup and have been tuned to bitcoin 3hr chart:
Timeframe = 3hrs
smoothK = 3
smoothD = 3
lengthRSI = 6
lengthStoch = 27
src = close
3x SuperTrend Strategy (Mel0nTek) V1This is a triple SuperTrend based strategy for lower time frame trades such as day trades and scalping. I have not seen many strategies that combine multiple SuperTrends so I thought I would publish this one since I put it together and have been quite happy with the results. I have found through testing that the best results are on currency exchange markets such as Crypto or Forex on 1-15 min time frames.
The core idea was inspired by a youtube video put out by Trade Pro:
"Trade Pro - HIGHEST PROFIT Triple Supertrend Trading Strategy Proven 100 Trade Results"
I went ahead and set the defaults to the ones he uses in his video for anyone who wants to try a configuration similar to his. They work pretty well in general, however the EMA, SuperTrend ATR multipliers, and P/L ratio can be tuned/optimized to fit the timeframe/market desired. The video is quite good but not a required watch as I will explain below.
The 200EMA is used as a medium-term trend direction indicator.
- Price closing consistently above the 200EMA means that only long positions should be entered.
- Price closing consistently below 200EMA means that only short positions should be entered.
The 3 SuperTrend indicators should be used as direction confirmation for entries. Typically, price above SuperTrend indicates bullish movement, while price below SuperTrend indicates Bearish movement. However by itself, it is not a great indication to enter/exit positions in my experience. By combining 3 of them with slightly longer periods and increased ATR multipliers, we can get much stronger confirmation of trend direction/strength.
The way they are used in this strategy is such that:
- We only want to enter a position if at least 2 out of 3 SuperTrends are on our side.
- 3/3 SuperTrends on our side is the best case, since we are taking trades WITH momentum/price strength.
- The second farthest SuperTrend from entry price is used as a Stop Loss
SuperTrend being on our side is not the only requirement for an entry however. The probability of success is increased with SuperTrend, and a longer EMA on our side, but we want to be sure that we aren't getting in too late/after the movement has already happened.
So we use Stoch RSI to pick our entries where price is oversold/overbought and reversing. That means the Stoch RSI is above 80, or below 20, and our indication to enter the trade is when the 2 lines cross/begin reversing direction.
So with trend direction on our side, we can get really good entries at these oversold/overbought extremes, especially as it's reversing (Stoch RSI K and D are crossing). This allows us to use the SuperTrend as a support/stop loss on our entry since price should be above it.
Then we just target 1.5x our max loss so that even if we only win 50% of the time, we still make a profit.
The explicit rules of this strategy are as follows:
=== Rules ===
long only
- price above EMA200
short only
- price below EMA200
Stop Loss = 2nd SuperTrend line above (short) or below(long) entry candle
Profit = 1.5x SL/risk (Profit Ratio x Max Loss)
=== Entry Setup ===
LONG
- Stoch RSI below 20, cross up
- at least 2 SuperTrend lines below close
SHORT
- Stoch RSI above 80, cross down
- at least 2 SuperTrend lines above close
P.S. Special thanks to Trade Pro for producing so many quality videos, putting strategy claims to the test, and providing me with so many good ideas I apply to my own strategies.
P/L CalculatorI couldn't find an existing indicator that simply calculated profit and loss, so here's one for quick, visual P/L. My api's lag too much to this helps while scalping.
Inverse BandsThis was the result of quite some time spent examining how much information could be gleamed by studying the interactions between Keltner Channels, STARC Bands and Bollinger Bands. I was surprised by the results.
First of all, there are four fills that are black. Set the transparency of those to 0 and you'll see this indicator the way that it's meant to be seen. Those fills belong to unused sections of the Bollinger Bands.
There are two clouds which represent STARC Bands and the Keltner Channel. There is some delay when they flip from bullish (green) to bearish (red), but they are indicative of the trend. The space between them is black and the narrower that space is, the greater volatility is. Because of this, we don't need the exterior Bollinger Bands.
The Bollinger Bands remain visible as the yellow interior clouds on the top cloud and the blue interior clouds on the bottom cloud. Often, the thicker the yellow or blue cloud is, the less severe a throwback from a given trend reversal will be. Often the thinner that yellow or blue cloud is, the more severe the trend reversal will be. If price is rising into a thin interior yellow cloud, the following dip will be substantial. If price action dips towards a thicker interior blue cloud, often the pump following that dump will be less enthusiastic.
We preserve the Keltner Channel and STARC bands as our cloud because the way that they interact with the three basis lines yields a lot of information.
The yellow Bollinger basis line tells us about trend strength. The closer the BB basis line is to the top of the top cloud or the bottom of the bottom cloud, the stronger the trend is. When it enters the cloud very close to the bottom of the bottom cloud, you know you're looking at a strong pump, and vice versa when it's close to the top of the top cloud.
The purple Keltner Channel basis line and orange STARC Band basis line can forecast short term trend changes one candlestick in advance by contacting any line in either cloud. The moment either basis line touches or crosses any boundary of the clouds, you know that the next candle will change directions. In an uptrend, a touch or cross means the next candle will have a lower high point. In a downtrend, a cross or touch means the next candle will have a higher high point. This is most useful in scalping.
It'd be pretty easy to slap some crossover alerts on to this and useful considering that they come a candle in advance. Feel free to further explore and develop this.
Trend Risk Indicator (TRI)The Trend Risk Indicator is a simple bands indicator made of 2 custom averages of candlesticks ranges calculated within the variable “ BandBars ” period.
Upper and lower channel bands width can be adjusted with the “ Deviation ” variable, which act as a simple factor to enlarge the spread between them.
When Close crosses over the upper band, it is a bearish signal and candlesticks are painted in Red.
When Close crosses under the lower band, it’s a bullish signal and candlesticks are painted in Green.
One of the most interesting indicators for 1 minute scalping. Recommended to use on Renko bars.
*drag to chart and pin to scale, also remove borders from candlesticks.
