Average Band by HarmanUsually, Moving Averages (Simple & Exponential) consider "close" of each candle to form a line for a particular period. In this indicator, we have considered all the parameters (Open, Close, Low & High) of each candle to form a Band or a wave which act as a zone to provide support & resistance. It works well on all the time frames. It perfectly works on lower time frames of 15 min & 5 min for intraday trades and even for scalping. There is a line that moves very near to candles known as "Candle Line" provide support & resistance to each individual candle and a leading line which moves ahead also acts as support & resistance and helps in determining trend direction.
How to use the indicator ?
Indicator consists of 3 components :
1) A Band or wave of 3 lines (upper, middle & lower line)
2) A "Candle Line" which moves along with the candles
3) A Leading line which moves ahead of the candles
Method 1 : When candles are being formed above the candle line (line near to candles) and it crosses the band or wave from below to upside, then long trade can be initiated. Similarly, When candles are being formed below the Candle line and it crosses the band or wave from upside then short trade can be initiated. Stop loss can be maintained below the band for Long trade and above the band for short trade. Candle line can be used to trail the stop loss.
Method 2: If candles moves above and below of the band very often and frequently and candle line is in the middle of candles then it is NO TRADING ZONE. If you still want to trade, then select a higher time frame and check the price movement. If there is a stability in the higher time frame, then take the trade in the higher timeframe with stable movement.
Method 3 : Candle line acts as "First line of Defence". In a uptrend, all the candles are formed above the candle line and in case of down trend, all the candles are formed below the candle line. When a newly formed candle cross the candle line then you can book profit. For Example : In uptrend , candles are being formed above the line, when a new candle started forming below the line and when the complete candle is formed below the line, profit can be booked. Vice-versa in case of downtrend.
Method 4: Direction of leading line, band and candle line helps in determining the trend. If all these three components are in upward direction, price trend is upward and if all these three components are in downward direction, then price trend is downward. When, leading line and band cross each other from opposite direction for consecutive 2-3 times, then price movement is sideways.
Method 5 : Thickness of band play an important role in determining price action. If band is narrow, it means small candles are being formed and no any huge price movement is observed in this period. When band started expanding, it signifies that big candles are begin to form and there is a more price movement than before. Similarly, If contraction of band started, it means that small candles are being formed and there is low price movement as compared to the price movement when Band was expanded. If Band is expanded (wider) and volumes are high, It means the Band will act as strong Support or Resistance than usual. In case, candles and candle line cross the expanded Band, you can enter the Long or Short trade.
Method 6: When the Band, leading line and candle line collides or meet at a single point, then it is either strong support or resistance.
Method 7 : Usage in Scalping : Select the shorter time frame of 1 min or 5 min. If the candles are crossing the band very frequently in 1 min, then select 5 min time frame or wait for few minutes for stability. Now, when candles started forming above the candle line and it crosses the band from below then take a long position and book profit after few candles above the band. Place stop loss below the Band. Similarly, when candles started forming below the candle line and it crosses the band from above, then enter into short trade and book profit after few candles. Place stop loss above the band in the case of short trade.
You can combine above methods to give a sharp edge to your trade and increase the probability of your winning in the trade.
Indicator Settings : Default period selected is 50 for both the Band and leading line. You can change the period to 26 or 100 or 200. Select the period and check the chart, if the indicator looks fine and smooth, then you can use your settings. For most of the time, default settings work perfectly.

Cerca negli script per "stop loss"
Bear & Bull Zone Signal StrategySince I love to mix and match, here is something fresh and that actually works on the breakout of Ethereum without losing your ass on lagging indicators.
It blends some of the nice parts of my previous scripts while moving to big boy pants with a twist on the Fibonacci retracement using SMA and EMA at multiple levels to do a sanity check.
Is it too good to be true? Nope, just what happens when a Solution Architect starts messing around with crypto and applies engineering and mathematics to the mix. You get a strategy that really doesn't have high profit losses when you tweak it just the right way.
What's the right tweak you ask?
1. Start with a 30 minute timeframe and set your window start date to the date the market began the bear or bull run
2. Make sure you can see your strategy performance window (not the graph one)
3. Set Stop Loss and Target Profit to 50%
4. Use your mouse wheel or up and down arrows and mess around with the RSI, go down one at a time but no lower than 7. Whichever value displayed the highest long or short gain is the one to pick.
5. Now select long or short only based on whichever one shows the highest gain.
6. Now go to K and D, leave K as 3 and check what happens when D is 4 or 5. Leave D at the value that gives you the highest gain.
7. Now go to EMA Fast and Slow Lengths. Leave Fast at 5 and check what happens when the Slow is moved up to 11 or 12, do the gains go up. If not, check what happens when Slow is moved down to 9, 8, or 7. Whichever gives you the highest gain, leave it there. Now go mess with the fast length, keep in mind that fast must always be less than slow. So check values down to 3 and up to 6. Same concept, mo money...leave it be.
8. Now go mess with the Target Profit, I start at 5, hit enter, then go to 7, hit enter, then 9...up by 2 until I get to 21 to make sure I don't hastily pick a low one and always keep in mind between which values the gain switched from high to low. For example, in this example I published at 11 it was $5k and at 13 it was $3700 for the gains. So after I got up to 21 I went back to 11 and started going up by 0.01 steps until the value dropped, which was at 11.19 so I set it at 11.18.
9. Now stop loss is trickier, you've maximized the gains, which means if you set the stop loss at a low value you will sacrifice gains. Typically by this point your loss is less than 10% with this script. So, my approach is to find the value where the stop loss doesn't change what I've tweaked already. In this example, I did the same start at 5 and go up by 2 and saw that when I went to 17 it stopped changing. So I started going back down by 0.5 and saw at 15.5 the gains went lower again. Now I started going back up in steps of 0.01 and at 15.98 it went back to the high gain I already tweaked for. I kept stop loss there and unleashed the strategy on ETH.
So far so good, no bad trades and it's been behaving pretty well.
Follow the Trend - Trade PullbacksKindly follow the rules stated below for entry, exit and stop loss. Not every Buy / Sell signal will be profitable.
Timeframe of the chart acts as current timeframe. You need to choose 2 more as middle and higher timeframes.
This indicator is based on candlesticks, ATR and CCI indicators and the logic provides buy / sell signals at the pullbacks of the trend depicted by higher timeframe, that must be respected throughout.
Enter the long / short trade respectively when the indicator gives buy / sell signal after price has gone below the green / above the red line for higher timeframe.
Stop loss shall be low / high of recent swing. Exit when the price closes below / above the middle timeframe, to be used as trailing target.
Use it for any instrument for any timeframe of your choice.
For example, check the shared chart. It is a 1 min intraday, but the indicator can be used for short or long term positional trades as well.
Enter long at 14102, with stop loss 14077. Trailing target is achieved at 14156 giving a Risk:Reward ratio of 1:2.
Another Buy signal is observed around same level and uptrend continues till day end, again for a Risk:Reward ratio of approx. 1:2.
Rules to follow for Long trades -
Enter long position at Buy signal given after price has moved below green line of higher timeframe.
Exit the position when price closes below orange / blue line of middle timeframe.
Stop loss must be at low of recent swing, appearing just before the Buy signal.
Rules to follow for Short trades -
Enter short position at Sell signal given after price has moved above red line of higher timeframe.
Exit the position when price closes above orange / blue line of middle timeframe.
Stop loss must be at high of recent swing, appearing just before the Sell signal.

Noro's RiskChannel StrategyIndicator
The Donchian price channel is used. There are 2 methods available to close the position. The user can choose a method.
Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org
Strategy #1 (stop-loss type = channel)
Old classic trading strategy, using breakouts of the Donchan price channel.
If the price is above the price channel top line, open the long position (and close the short position)
If the price is below the lower line of the price channel, open the short position (and close the long position)
It is recommended that you all use market stop orders.
Strategy #2 (stop-loss type = center)
This metod is better. This method is recommended.
The central line (red) is the middle of the Donchian price channel. Used to close any positions.
If the price is higher than the price channel top line, open the long position.
If the price is lower than the lower line of the price channel, open the short position.
If the price has crossed the central line of the channel, close any position.
It is recommended that you all use market stop orders.
Risk
There are 2 options. Risk for long positions and risk for short positions. This is the size of the possible loss. Order size depends on the possible loss and is calculated for each position.
For
BTC/USD, BTC/USDT, XBT/USD, ETH/USD, ETH/USD (need USD!)
Timeframes: 1h and length of price channel = 50 bars or 4h and length of price channel = 12
Hancock - Pump Catcher [BitMEX] [Alerts]This is a study to the version of the strategy found here .
It generates 3 alerts:
CLOSE - Triggers to close all open positions
LONG - Triggers to open a long position
SHORT - Triggers to open a short position
Commands for alerts (without stop-loss) to get you started:
CLOSE - a=bitmex e=bitmextestnet c=position t=market
LONG - a=bitmex e=bitmextestnet b=long s=xbtusd l=5 q=99% t=market
SHORT - a=bitmex e=bitmextestnet b=short s=xbtusd l=5 q=99% t=market
I would advise including a stop-loss with your commands. These commands are for autoview and don't include a stop loss, use autoview command documentation to add stop-loss.
Happy trading

Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders
I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA).
Seems they're so many alternatives out there.
I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD.
More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe.
I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^
Convergence is my BEST friend
An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend.
So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market.
Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results.
My indicators fav cocktail is mixing :
1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation)
2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation)
3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry.
The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :)
Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify.
It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside.
NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past.
I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave
But my backtest sir...
Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results.
Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best)
Last few words
Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun)
They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses.
No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...)
Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week

ZF RSI PLOT1. How RSI Is Calculated
RSI is typically computed over 14 periods (days, hours, etc.) using the formula:
RSI=100−1001+RS
RSI=100−1+RS100
where
RS=Average Gain over N periodsAverage Loss over N periods
RS=Average Loss over N periodsAverage Gain over N periods
2. Overbought (> 70)
Definition: An RSI reading above 70 suggests that the instrument has experienced relatively large gains and may be “overbought.”
Interpretation:
Potential Reversal: Prices may have risen too far, too fast, and could be due for a pullback or consolidation.
Exit/Take Profits: Traders often trim long positions or tighten stops as RSI climbs above 70.
Confirmation Needed:
Bearish “RSI divergence” (price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high).
Price action signals (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns).
Volume drying up on advances.
3. Oversold (< 30)
Definition: An RSI reading below 30 suggests that the instrument has experienced relatively large losses and may be “oversold.”
Interpretation:
Potential Bounce: Prices may have fallen too far, too fast, and could be due for a rebound or consolidation.
Buying Opportunity: Traders often look to initiate or add to long positions as RSI drops below 30.
Confirmation Needed:
Bullish “RSI divergence” (price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low).
Price action signals (e.g., hammer candlesticks, support levels).
Volume picking up on declines.
4. Divergences
Bullish Divergence: Price ↓ makes a lower low, RSI ↑ makes a higher low ⇒ possible trend change to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: Price ↑ makes a higher high, RSI ↓ makes a lower high ⇒ possible trend change to the downside.
5. Adjustments & Variations
Stronger Trends: Use 80/20 thresholds to avoid early signals in very strong up- or down-trends.
Shorter/Longer Periods: Adjust the look-back period (e.g., 9 for more sensitivity, 21 for smoother signals) depending on your time frame.
6. Limitations & Best Practices
Can Stay Extreme: In strong trends, RSI may remain overbought/oversold for extended periods—don’t trade it in isolation.
Combine with Other Tools: Use trend filters (moving averages, ADX), support/resistance, and volume to confirm entries.
Risk Management: Always set stops and manage position size; RSI signals can fail.
7. Putting It All Together
Identify Trend: Is the market in an uptrend, downtrend, or range?
Watch RSI Extremes: Note when RSI crosses above 70 or below 30.
Seek Confirmation: Look for divergences, candlestick/pricing signals, and supporting volume.
Execute & Manage: Enter with clear stop-loss levels, consider scaling, and lock in profits appropriately.
By understanding both the raw threshold signals and the nuances—like divergences and trend-context—you can harness RSI’s simplicity while mitigating its pitfalls.
Strategy with DI+/DI-, ADX, RSI, MACD, EMA + Time Stop [EXP. 1]🧠 Concept & Purpose
This strategy combines several time-tested technical indicators—DI+/DI-, ADX, RSI, MACD, and long-term EMAs—to filter trend strength, momentum, and timing precision. The goal was to develop a multi-layered trend-following system suitable for low timeframes (tested on BTCUSDT 5m) while controlling risk with tight stop-losses, a high reward ratio, and a time-based exit to avoid long exposure in sideways markets.
⚙️ Components & Logic
• ADX + DI+/DI-: Confirm the presence and direction of a strong trend.
• RSI: Used to filter momentum bias. Buy signals require RSI > 55, sell signals < 45.
• MACD Histogram: Ensures entry is aligned with short-term momentum shifts.
• Strong Candle Filter: Filters out weak entries using candle body % strength.
• EMA 600 & EMA 2400: Define long-term trend bias. Entries only occur within 25 bars after EMA crossover in trend direction.
• Time-Based Stop: If a trade doesn’t move at least 0.75% in favor within 85 bars, it is closed to minimize stagnation.
• Reward-Risk Management: 1% stop-loss, 7.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
• One Signal Per Trend Shift: Only takes the first entry after each EMA cross.
📊 Strategy Settings & Backtest Conditions
• Initial Capital: $10,000
• Commission: 0.1% per trade
• Timeframe: 5-minute
• Test Range: Jan–Apr 2023
• Sample Size: Limited (⚠️ <10 trades – experimental phase)
Backtest Results (v1.0)
This version showed:
• ✅ 66.7% win rate on 3 trades
• 📉 P/L: +11,257.46 USDT (+112.57%)
• 🔻 Max drawdown: 5.03%
• 📈 Profit factor: 11.01
In an earlier test configuration:
• ❌ 5 trades, 0 wins
• 📉 -14.45% total P&L
• ⚠️ All losses hit the 1.5% stop
• ⚠️ Profit factor: 0.00
This contrast shows how sensitive the logic is to market context and parameter tuning.
💡 Purpose of Publication
This strategy is experimental and educational. It is open-sourced for transparency and to help other traders learn how complex indicator stacking may or may not work in real environments. The failed and improved tests are both part of the process.

HMA Crossover + ATR + Curvature (Long & Short)📏 Hull Moving Averages (Trend Filters)
- fastHMA = ta.hma(close, fastLength)
- slowHMA = ta.hma(close, slowLength)
These two HMAs act as dynamic trend indicators:
- A bullish crossover of fast over slow HMA signals a potential long setup.
- A bearish crossunder triggers short interest.
⚡️ Curvature (Acceleration Filter)
- curv = ta.change(ta.change(fastHMA))
This calculates the second-order change (akin to the second derivative) of the fast HMA — effectively the acceleration of the trend. It serves as a filter:
- For long entries: curv > curvThresh (positive acceleration)
- For short entries: curv < -curvThresh (negative acceleration)
It helps eliminate weak or stagnating moves by requiring momentum behind the crossover.
📈 Volatility-Based Risk Management (ATR)
- atr = ta.atr(atrLength)
- stopLoss = atr * atrMult
- trailStop = atr * trailMult
These define your:
- Initial stop loss: scaled to recent volatility using ATR and atrMult.
- Trailing stop: also ATR-scaled, to lock in gains dynamically as price moves favorably.
💰 Position Sizing via Risk Percent
- capital = strategy.equity
- riskCapital = capital * (riskPercent / 100)
- qty = riskCapital / stopLoss
This dynamically calculates the position size (qty) such that if the stop loss is hit, the loss does not exceed the predefined percentage of account equity. It’s a volatility-adjusted position sizing method, keeping your risk consistent regardless of market conditions.
📌 Execution Logic
- Long Entry: on bullish HMA crossover with rising curvature.
- Short Entry: on bearish crossover with falling curvature.
- Exits: use ATR-based trailing stops.
- Position is closed when trend conditions reverse (e.g., bearish crossover exits the long).
This framework gives you:
- Trend-following logic (via HMAs)
- Momentum confirmation (via curvature)
- Volatility-aware execution and exits (via ATR)
- Risk-controlled dynamic sizing
Want to get surgical and test what happens if we use curvature on the difference between HMAs instead? That might give some cool insights into trend strength transitions.
VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)
Version 1.2
Overview
This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders, designed to identify high-probability areas of support and resistance. It plots the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a central "value" line and then draws statistically-based deviation channels around it.
Its unique feature is a dynamic probability engine that analyzes thousands of historical price bars to calculate and display the real-time likelihood of the price touching each of these deviation levels. This provides a quantifiable edge for making trading decisions.
Core Concepts Explained
This indicator is built on three key concepts:
The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The dotted midline of the channels is the session VWAP. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA) which only considers price, the VWAP incorporates volume into its calculation. This makes it a much more significant benchmark, as it represents the true average price where the most business has been transacted during the day. It's heavily used by institutional traders, which is why price often reacts strongly to it.
Standard Deviation Channels: The channels above and below the VWAP are based on standard deviations. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility.
- Wide Bands: When the channels are wide, it signifies high volatility.
- Narrow Bands: When the channels are tight and narrow, it signifies low volatility and
consolidation (a "squeeze").
The Conditional Probability Engine: This is the heart of the indicator. For every deviation level, the script displays a percentage. This percentage answers a very specific question:
"Based on thousands of previous bars, when the last candle had a certain momentum (bullish or bearish), what was the historical probability that the price would touch this specific level?"
The probabilities are calculated separately depending on whether the previous candle was green (bullish) or red (bearish). This provides a nuanced, momentum-based edge. The level with the highest probability is highlighted, acting as a "price magnet."
How to Use This Indicator
Recommended Timeframes:
This indicator is designed specifically for intraday trading. It works best on timeframes like the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute charts. It will not display correctly on daily or higher timeframes.
Recommended Trading Strategy: Mean Reversion
The primary strategy for this indicator is "Mean Reversion." The core idea is that as the price stretches to extreme levels far away from the VWAP (the "mean"), it is statistically more likely to "snap back" toward it.
Here is a step-by-step guide to trading this setup:
1. Identify the Extreme: Wait for the price to push into one of the outer deviation bands (e.g., the -2, -3, or -4 bands for a buy setup, or the +2, +3, or +4 bands for a sell setup).
2. Look for the High-Probability Zone: Pay close attention to the highlighted probability label. This is the level that has historically acted as the strongest magnet for price. A touch of this level represents a high-probability area for a potential reversal.
3. Wait for Confirmation: Do not enter a trade just because the price has touched a band. Wait for a confirmation candle that shows momentum is shifting.
- For a Buy: Look for a strong bullish candle (e.g., a green engulfing candle or a hammer/pin
bar) to form at the lower bands.
- For a Sell: Look for a strong bearish candle (e.g., a red engulfing candle or a shooting star)
to form at the upper bands.
Define Your Exit:
- Take Profit: A logical primary target for a mean reversion trade is the VWAP (midLine).
- Stop Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just outside the next deviation band. For
example, if you enter a long trade at the -3 band, your stop loss could be placed just
below the -4 band.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be considered a standalone trading system. Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and sound risk management practices.
Share SizePurpose: The "Share Size" indicator is a powerful risk management tool designed to help traders quickly determine appropriate share/contract sizes based on their predefined risk per trade and the current market's volatility (measured by ATR). It calculates potential dollar differences from recent highs/lows and translates them into a recommended share/contract size, accounting for a user-defined ATR-based offset. This helps you maintain consistent risk exposure across different instruments and market conditions.
How It Works: At its core, the indicator aims to answer the question: "How many shares/contracts can I trade to keep my dollar risk within limits if my stop loss is placed at a recent high or low, plus an ATR-based buffer?"
Price Difference Calculation: It first calculates the dollar difference between the current close price and the high and low of the current bar (Now) and the previous 5 bars (1 to 5).
Tick Size & Value Conversion: These price differences are then converted into dollar values using the instrument's specific tickSize and tickValue. You can select common futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MGC, MCL), a generic "Stock" setting, or define custom values.
ATR Offset: An Average True Range (ATR) based offset is added to these dollar differences. This offset acts as a buffer, simulating a stop loss placed beyond the immediate high/low, accounting for market noise or volatility.
Risk-Based Share Size: Finally, using your Default Risk ($) input, the indicator calculates how many shares/contracts you can take for each of the 6 high/low scenarios (current bar, 5 previous bars) to ensure your dollar risk per trade remains constant.
Dynamic Table: All these calculations are presented in a clear, real-time table at the bottom-left of your chart. The table dynamically adjusts its "Label" to show the selected symbol preset, making it easy to see which instrument's settings are currently being used. The "Shares" rows indicate the maximum shares/contracts you can trade for a given risk and stop placement. The cells corresponding to the largest dollar difference (and thus smallest share size) for both high and low scenarios are highlighted, drawing your attention to the most conservative entry points.
Key Benefits:
Consistent Risk: Helps maintain a consistent dollar risk per trade, regardless of the instrument or its current price/volatility.
Dynamic Sizing: Automatically adjusts share/contract size based on market volatility and your chosen stop placement.
Quick Reference: Provides a real-time, easy-to-read table directly on your chart, eliminating manual calculations.
Informed Decision Making: Assists in quickly assessing trade opportunities and potential position sizes.
Setup Parameters (Inputs)
When you add the "Share Size" indicator to your chart, you'll see a settings dialog with the following parameters:
1. Symbol Preset:
Purpose: This is the primary setting to define the tick size and value for your chosen trading instrument.
Options:
MNQ (Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures)
MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures)
MGC (Micro Gold Futures)
MCL (Micro Crude Oil Futures)
Stock (Generic stock setting, with tick size/value of 0.01)
Custom (Allows you to manually input tick size and value)
Default: MNQ
Importance: Crucial for accurate dollar calculations. Ensure this matches the instrument you are trading.
2. Tick Size (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the smallest price increment for your instrument.
Type: Float
Default: 0.25
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. You might need to change display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want to see and adjust it directly in the settings for "Custom" mode.
3. Tick Value (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the dollar value of one tickSize increment.
Type: Float
Default: 0.50
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. Similar to Tick Size, you might need to adjust its display property if you want it visible.
4. Default Risk ($):
Purpose: This is your maximum desired dollar risk per trade. All share size calculations will be based on this value.
Type: Float
Default: 50.0
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none). It's a critical setting, so consider making it visible by changing display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want users to easily adjust their risk.
ATR Offset Settings (Group): This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the ATR-based buffer added to your potential stop loss.
5. ATR Offset Length:
Purpose: Defines the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used for the offset.
Type: Integer
Default: 7
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
6. ATR Offset Timeframe:
Purpose: Specifies the timeframe on which the ATR for the offset will be calculated. This allows you to use ATR from a higher timeframe for your stop buffer, even if your chart is on a lower timeframe.
Type: Timeframe string (e.g., "1" for 1 minute, "60" for 1 hour, "D" for Daily)
Default: "1" (1 Minute)
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
7. ATR Offset Multiplier (x ATR):
Purpose: Multiplies the calculated ATR value to determine the final dollar offset added to your high/low price difference. A value of 1.0 means one full ATR is added. A value of 0.5 means half an ATR is added.
Type: Float
Minimum Value: 0 (no offset)
Default: 1.0
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
CoffeeShopCrypto Supertrend Liquidity EngineMost SuperTrend indicators use fixed ATR multipliers that ignore context—forcing traders to constantly tweak settings that rarely adapt well across timeframes or assets.

This version replaces guesswork with an adaptive factor based on prior session volatility, dynamically adjusting stops to match current conditions. It also introduces liquidity-aware zones, real-time strength histograms, and a visual control panel—making your stoploss smarter, more responsive, and aligned with how the market actually moves.
📏 The Multiplier Problem & Adaptive Factor Solution
Traditional SuperTrend indicators rely on fixed ATR multipliers—often arbitrary numbers like 1.5, 2, or 3. The issue? No logical basis ties these values to actual market conditions. What works on a 5-minute Nasdaq chart fails on a daily EUR/USD chart. Traders spend hours tweaking multipliers per asset, timeframe, or volatility phase—and still end up with stoplosses that are either too tight or too loose. Worse, the market doesn’t care about your setting—it behaves according to underlying volatility, not your parameter.
This version fixes that by automating the multiplier selection entirely. It uses a 4-zone model based on the current ATR relative to the previous session’s ATR, dynamically adjusting the SuperTrend factor to match current volatility. It eliminates guesswork, adapts to the asset and timeframe, and ensures you’re always using a context-aware stoploss—one that evolves with the market instead of fighting it.
ATR EXAMPLE
Let’s say prior session ATR = 2.00
Now suppose current ATR = 0.32
This places us in Zone 1 (Very Low Volatility)
It doesn’t imply "overbought" or "oversold" — it tells you the market is moving very little, which often means:
Lower risk | Smaller stops | Smaller opportunities (and losses)
🔁 Liquidity Zones vs. Arbitrary Pullbacks
The standard SuperTrend stop loss line often looks like price “barely misses it” before continuing its trend. Traders call this "stop hunting," but what’s really happening is liquidity collection—price pulls back into a zone rich in orders before continuing. The problem? The old SuperTrend doesn’t show this zone. It only draws the outer limit, leaving no visual cue for where entries or continuation moves might realistically originate.
This script introduces 2 levels in the Liquidity Zone. One for Support and one for Stophunts, which draw dynamically between the current price and the SuperTrend line. These levels reflect where the market is most likely to revisit before resuming the trend. By visualizing the area just above the Supertrend stop loss, you can anticipate pullbacks, spot ideal re-entries, and avoid premature exits. This bridges the gap between mechanical stoploss logic and real-world liquidity behavior.
⏳ Prior Session ATR vs. Live ATR
Using real-time ATR to determine movement potential is like driving by looking in your rearview mirror. It’s reactive, not predictive. Traders often base decisions on live ATR, unaware that today’s range is still unfolding —creating volatility mismatches between what’s calculated and what actually matters. Since ATR reflects range, calculating it mid-session gives an incomplete and misleading picture of true volatility.
Instead, this system uses the ATR from the previous session , anchoring your volatility assumptions in a fully-formed price structure . It tells you how far price moved in the last full market phase—be it London, New York, or Tokyo—giving you a more reliable gauge of expected range today. This is a smarter way to estimate how far price could move rather than how far it has moved.
The Smoothing function will take the ATR, Support, Resistance, Stophunt Levels, and the Moving Avearage and smooth them by the calculation you choose.
It will also plot a moving average on your chart against closing prices by the smoothing function you choose.
🧭 Scalping vs. Trending Modes
The market moves in at least 4 phases. Trending, Ranging, Consolidation, Distribution.
Every trader has a different style —some scalp low-volatility moves during off-hours, while others ride macro trends across days. The problem with classic SuperTrend? It treats every market condition the same. A fixed system can’t possibly provide proper stoploss spacing for both a fast scalp and a long-term swing. Traders are forced to rebuild their system every time the market changes character or the session shifts.
This version solves that with a simple toggle:
Scalping or Trend Mode . With one switch, it inverts the logic of the adaptive factor to either tighten or loosen your trailing stops. During low-liquidity hours or consolidation phases, Scalping Mode offers snug stoplosses. During expansion or clear directional bias.
Trend Mode lets the trade breathe. This is flexibility built directly into the logic—not something you have to recalibrate manually.
📉 Histogram Oscillator for Move Strength
In legacy indicators, there’s no built-in way to gauge when the move is losing power . Traders rely on price action or momentum indicators to guess if a trend is fading. But this adds clutter, lag, and often contradiction. The classic SuperTrend doesn’t offer insight into how strong or weak the current trend leg is—only whether price has crossed a line.
This version includes a Trending Liquidity Histogram —a histogram that shows whether the liquidity in the SuperTrend zone is expanding or compressing. When the bars weaken or cross toward zero, it signals liquidity exhaustion . This early warning gives you time to prep for reversals or anticipate pullbacks. It even adapts visually depending on your trading mode, showing color-coded signals for scalping vs. trending behavior. It's both a strength gauge and a trade timing tool—built into your stoploss logic.

📊 Visual Table for Real-Time Clarity
A major issue with custom indicators is opacity —you don’t always know what settings or values are currently being used. Even worse, if your dynamic logic changes mid-trade, you may not notice unless you go digging into the code or logs. This can create confusion, especially for discretionary traders.
This SuperTrend solves it with a clean visual summary table right on your chart. It shows your current ATR value, adaptive multiplier, trailing stop level, and whether a new zone size is active. That means no surprises and no second-guessing—everything important is visible and updated in real-time.
Zero Lag MACD + Kijun-sen + EOM StrategyThis strategy offers a robust approach to identifying high-probability trading opportunities in the fast-paced cryptocurrency markets, particularly on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-minute). It leverages the synergistic power of three distinct indicators to confirm entries, ensuring a disciplined approach to risk management.
Key Components:
Zero Lag MACD Enhanced Version 1.2: This core momentum indicator is used to identify precise shifts in trend and momentum, offering reduced lag compared to traditional MACD. Entry signals are filtered based on the histogram's position (below for buys, above for sells) to enhance signal reliability.
Kijun-sen (Ichimoku Cloud): Acting as a dynamic support/resistance and trend filter, the Kijun-sen line confirms the prevailing market direction. Long entries are confirmed when price is above Kijun-sen, and short entries when price is below.
Ease of Movement (EoM): This volume-based oscillator provides crucial confirmation of price movements by measuring the ease with which price changes. Positive EoM confirms buying pressure, while negative confirms selling pressure, adding an essential layer of validation to trade setups.
How it Works:
The strategy generates entry signals only when all three indicators align simultaneously:
For Long Entries: A Zero Lag MACD buy signal (crossover below histogram) must coincide with price trading above the Kijun-sen, and the Ease of Movement indicator being above its zero line.
For Short Entries: A Zero Lag MACD sell signal (crossover above histogram) must coincide with price trading below the Kijun-sen, and the Ease of Movement indicator being below its zero line.
Entries are executed at the open of the candle immediately following the signal confirmation.
Risk Management:
Disciplined risk management is paramount to this strategy:
Dynamic Stop-Loss: An Average True Range (ATR) based stop-loss is implemented, set at 2.5 times the current ATR. This adapts the stop-loss distance to market volatility, ensuring sensible risk sizing.
Fixed Take-Profit: A consistent Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio of 1:1.2 is applied for all trades, promoting stable profit realization.
Customization & Optimization:
The strategy is built with fully customizable input parameters for each indicator (MACD lengths, Kijun-sen period, ATR period, ATR multiplier, and Risk-to-Reward ratio). This allows users to fine-tune the strategy for different assets, timeframes, and market conditions, facilitating robust backtesting and optimization.
Disclaimer: Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This strategy is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Always use proper risk management and conduct your own due diligence.

Gold Breakout Strategy - RR 4Strategy Name: Gold Breakout Strategy - RR 4
🧠 Main Objective
This strategy aims to capitalize on breakouts from the Donchian Channel on Gold (XAU/USD) by filtering trades with:
Volume confirmation,
A custom momentum indicator (LWTI - Linear Weighted Trend Index),
And a specific trading session (8 PM to 8 AM Quebec time — GMT-5).
It takes only one trade per day, either a buy or a sell, using a fixed stop-loss at the wick of the breakout candle and a 4:1 reward-to-risk (RR) ratio.
📊 Indicators Used
Donchian Channel
Length: 96
Detects breakouts of recent highs or lows.
Volume
Simple Moving Average (SMA) over 30 bars.
A breakout is only valid if the current volume is above the SMA.
LWTI (Linear Weighted Trend Index)
Measures momentum using price differences over 25 bars, smoothed over 5.
Used to confirm trend direction:
Buy when LWTI > its smoothed version (uptrend).
Sell when LWTI < its smoothed version (downtrend).
⏰ Time Filter
The strategy only allows entries between 8 PM and 8 AM (GMT-5 / Quebec time).
A timestamp-based filter ensures the system recognizes the correct trading session even across midnight.
📌 Entry Conditions
🟢 Buy (Long)
Price breaks above the previous Donchian Channel high.
The current channel high is higher than the previous one.
Volume is above its moving average.
LWTI confirms an uptrend.
The time is within the trading session (20:00 to 08:00).
No trade has been taken yet today.
🔴 Sell (Short)
Price breaks below the previous Donchian Channel low.
The current channel low is lower than the previous one.
Volume is above its moving average.
LWTI confirms a downtrend.
The time is within the trading session.
No trade has been taken yet today.
💸 Trade Management
Stop-Loss (SL):
For long entries: placed below the wick low of the breakout candle.
For short entries: placed above the wick high of the breakout candle.
Take-Profit (TP):
Set at a fixed 4:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Calculated as 4x the distance between the entry price and stop-loss.
No trailing stop, no break-even, no scaling in/out.
🎨 Visuals
Green triangle appears below the candle on a buy signal.
Red triangle appears above the candle on a sell signal.
Donchian Channel lines are plotted on the chart.
The strategy is designed for the 5-minute timeframe.
🔄 One Trade Per Day Rule
Once a trade is taken (buy or sell), no more trades will be executed for the rest of the day. This prevents overtrading and limits exposure.
SuperTrade ST1 StrategyOverview
The SuperTrade ST1 Strategy is a long-only trend-following strategy that combines a Supertrend indicator with a 200-period EMA filter to isolate high-probability bullish trade setups. It is designed to operate in trending markets, using volatility-based exits with a strict 1:4 Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio, meaning that each trade targets a profit 4× the size of its predefined risk.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to align with medium- to long-term trends, while maintaining disciplined risk control and minimal trade frequency.
How It Works
This strategy leverages three key components:
Supertrend Indicator
A trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR).
Identifies bullish/bearish trend direction by plotting a trailing stop line that moves with price volatility.
200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Filter
Trades are only taken when the price is above the EMA, ensuring participation only during confirmed uptrends.
Helps filter out counter-trend entries during market pullbacks or ranges.
ATR-Based Stop Loss and Take Profit
Each trade uses the ATR to calculate volatility-adjusted exit levels.
Stop Loss: 1× ATR below entry.
Take Profit: 4× ATR above entry (1:4 R:R).
This asymmetry ensures that even with a lower win rate, the strategy can remain profitable.
Entry Conditions
A long trade is triggered when:
Supertrend flips from bearish to bullish (trend reversal).
Price closes above the Supertrend line.
Price is above the 200 EMA (bullish market bias).
Exit Logic
Once a long position is entered:
Stop loss is set 1 ATR below entry.
Take profit is set 4 ATR above entry.
The strategy automatically exits the position on either target.
Backtest Settings
This strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, including:
$10,000 account size
2% equity risk per trade
0.1% commission
1 tick slippage
These settings aim to simulate real-world conditions and avoid overly optimistic results.
How to Use
Apply the script to any timeframe, though higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) often yield more reliable signals.
Works best in clearly trending markets (especially in crypto, stocks, indices).
Can be paired with alerts for live trading or analysis.
Important Notes
This version is long-only by design. No short positions are executed.
Ideal for swing traders or position traders seeking asymmetric returns.
Users can modify the ATR period, Supertrend factor, or EMA filter length based on asset behavior.
External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.

Consider combining with other filters (e.g., EMA trend direction or Bollinger Bands) for even better accuracy.
ATM Option Selling StrategyATM Option Selling Strategy – Explained
This strategy is designed for intraday option selling based on the 9/15 EMA crossover, 50/80 MA trend filter, and RSI 50 level. It ensures that all trades are exited before market close (3:24 PM IST).
. Indicators Used:
9 EMA & 15 EMA → For short-term trend identification.
50 MA & 80 MA → To determine the overall trend.
RSI (14) → To confirm momentum (above or below 50 level).
2. Entry Conditions:
🔴 Sell ATM Call (CE) when:
Price is below 50 & 80 MA (Bearish trend).
9 EMA crosses below 15 EMA (Short-term trend turns bearish).
RSI is below 50 (Momentum confirms weakness).
🟢 Sell ATM Put (PE) when:
Price is above 50 & 80 MA (Bullish trend).
9 EMA crosses above 15 EMA (Short-term trend turns bullish).
RSI is above 50 (Momentum confirms strength).
3. Position Sizing & Risk Management:
Sell 375 quantity per trade (Lot size).
50-Point Stop Loss → If option premium moves against us by 50 points, exit.
50-Point Take Profit → If option premium moves in our favor by 50 points, book profit.
Exit all trades at 3:24 PM IST → No overnight positions.
4. Exit Conditions:
✅ Stop Loss or Take Profit Hits → Automatically exits based on a 50-point move.
✅ Time-Based Exit at 3:24 PM → Ensures no open positions at market close.
Why This Works?
✔ Trend Confirmation → 50/80 MA ensures we only sell options in the direction of the market trend.
✔ Momentum Confirmation → RSI prevents entering weak trades.
✔ Controlled Risk → SL and TP protect against large losses.
✔ No Overnight Risk → All trades close before market close.
